Battery Doctor vs JuiceDefender opinions
Juicedefender (back on Lollipop, no longer since marshmallow) accurately per app enabled disabled wifi as a preference and data as secondary when an app was launched. And disabled the connection when the app was closed or the phone was locked. For years this was true. It is the per app control that was the savings for me. I only need the network when I launch a network app. - Hibernator provides an easy way to hibernate all running apps and as a result it saves the battery power and improves performance, and it can also close apps automatically everytime the screen is turned off.
- Deepsleep battery saver constantly puts the device to deepsleep mode while screen off LifeHacker: "Plenty of apps save your battery life, but this one takes the idea to a whole new level"
- Ever wondered why your smartphone screen doesnt turn off automatically when it should have, the screen wakes up all of a sudden or you find your phone battery drained even when you exited apps and turned off the screen? This might be due to wakelock holding apps.
- DU Battery Saver is the simplest and easiest way to protect against poor charging, battery hogging apps, and overlooked device settings that shorten your battery life.
