Consider how far we have come as a communications-driven society since the days of the messenger pigeon and telegraph. It’s about 150 years since the Pony
Express rode in the West. From horses to microwave, one of life’s mysteries is that battery technology is still dead-ending us. Portable power chemistry hasn’t been conquered. An exhausted battery has got to be one of the most irritating facets of a life with a smartphone. It’s annoyance factor is probably close to stunted cell signal — or call from ex-spouse.
I completely agree. I had tweaked many settings in JD, and had seen some extra battery life. Far from significant, however. An extra hour or so, but still not enough for my typical day's use. Then one day recently, I re-flashed my rom, and completely forgot to restore the settings for Juice Defender, and the battery life increased dramatically to where I can go a typical workday without charging, 12+ hours. I haven't yet bothered to change anything from the defaults except for keeping a connection open when using Tunein Radio.
The urge, no, the drive to tweak is natural for us Linux users, so diving right in to the advanced settings would seem to be a no-brainer. Not in this case :)
