    Help Is Ice Cream Sandwich worth it at the moment?

    So we all know there are the various leaked ICS flavours. But every post I read mentions various bugs.

    JuiceDefender replacement

    Ok, I am sick of JuiceDefender. I don't even care about the battery saving. I use it as a connection/location scheduler. I find that very handy... when it works. The fact that it doesn't seem to keep to the schedules has convinced me to move elsewhere. Problem is that I don't know any good...
