Major Juice Defender update!

Anyone else tried this yet? It updated automatically last night from Market. It's a much cooler interface. Completely redone look and feel. And this morning, with default settings (didn't have time to customize it yet), I had my first 2X battery usage reading.

My battery usage has been OK since I started using the Airplane mode toggle trick once every day or two. But all day today, my TWS reading was 0%. This JD/Ultimate version really seems to work!

BTW, while setting itself up, it told me that AOSP helper does not work with Eclair 2.1. That's why I could never get it to install before.

i had stopped using mine....but did the update and now going to see how it goes. yesterday i got around 13 or 14 hours with average non-restricted use. im using a different way to measure effectiveness, as i want to see how my battery usage holds up with me using the phone like i normally would, and not trying to get a long battery output while limiting device use. i'll see how it does with the new JD/UJ set up.

HELP !! When I downloaded the Juice Defender onto my Samsung Epic 4g, my visual voice-mail went away. Has anyone else had this problem ? Is there a way to fix it,
and still use the Juice Defender app ? Or, does the paid version of Ultimate JD offer a
way to do both ?

Don't understand why that happened. The free JD and later the Ultimate work perfectly on my Epic. I'm rooted and still on stock 2.1.

What is this airplane mode toggle trick?

Credit for this goes to gten or JohnnyBravo, I forget which.
Once a day, go to: Settings>About Phone>Battery Use>Cell Standby.
If the Time Without A Signal says more than 10%, back up to:
Settings>About Phone>Wireless&Networks and toggle the Airplane Mode check box (hit it once to switch to Airplane mode, then hit it again to switch back. It makes a sizeable difference in battery life. Don't ask me why
