I'm not real big on battery saving apps, but I kinda like Battery Guru because it doesn't actually 'kill' apps, it just controls how often they refresh/sync. It basically works by reducing the amount of apps syncing constantly in the background.you'll be able to pick and choose which apps it controls and to what degree. Just how much savings it can get you depends on how aggressively you set it up (once the learning phase is over).

I've been using Battery Guru since I got it, and used it with my last device as well. I mean, I expect the battery to drain when I'm actively using the phone, but it's nice to finally own a device where I don't have to worry about how fast the battery is draining when it's just sitting there doing nothing! I remember my old HTC Thunderbolt used to lose 10%/hour just by sitting there!!! I did order the spare samsung battery just because it was 50% off.lolI've been very happy with battery ever since I bought this phone.

Of course it also makes sure my ringer is off at work, is quiet at night, that my iTunes is always synched with my phone, it monitors the battery of my tablet on my phone and reminds me to plug it in if it gets low, I can highlight something in Chrome on my PC and either send it to the clipboard of my phone or do a Google search for it on my phone, it reminds me of what I need when I go to a store and automatically switches to speaker phone if I take the phone away from my face and hold it flat, so I don't mind the small battery hit I might see. I use it mostly for the functionality and suspect it has a negative (but pretty small) affect on my battery life. The stuff you normally on and off automatically with it to save battery are things that I never have noticed to take a lot of battery, so I don't think it would make a big difference to me. Whether or not Tasker will help will depend on your usage. Tl:dr - I'd say to keep it running to see if it helps but I didn't see any miracles happen. For me whether or not I'm at 40% or 45% at the end of the day doesn't matter so I'm not considering installing it again unless I see battery problems. It's never been a function that appears to drain battery for me, anyway, and it helps with finding location without GPS. I just leave my WiFi on all the time and didn't let BatteryGuru mess with it, either. As far as I can tell it mostly just stops certain apps from updating as often.

After the OTA update and without BatteryGuru I'm seeing at least as good of battery life as I was before the update with BatteryGuru. Before that I had been running it for a few weeks with good, results (or at least it didn't make my battery life worse). To be fair it was right after the OTA update but before I did a factory reset to get all of the features of the update, so it might have been a fluke. I had an issue where BatteryGuru went rogue and drained my battery once so I got rid of it. I did order the spare samsung battery just because it was 50% off.lol If anyone has done something like this, please do share your experience or just share your opinion on it. Anyway, I was thinking, should snapdragon battery guru actually work for me, would downloading Tasker and setting that up alongside the battery guru help with increasing battery life even more? I mean, on my razr I was running Juice Defender and Smart Actions and it was a semi-beautiful arrangement.

Juice Defender Ultimate didn't do much for me on my Droid Razr which blows. I downloaded Snapdragon Battery Guru yesterday at around 4:30pm because I've read about how some people have managed to get an extra 3-4 hours from it (assuming they were constant with their use while it was on learning mode) so I figured I'd give it a shot. With location services on and with LTE on, alongside a whole day of texting and 10 minutes of navigation and googling product reviews for about 5 minutes, I managed to only get the battery down to 60-63% by 7pm. Yesterday, I unplugged the GS4 from the charger (100%) at around 8am and by 12:30pm, I would have about 95% battery life. So far what I'm getting from the phone is ridiculously good when I compare it to my former Droid Razr that was only using 3G. I recently just got my GS4, about 3 days ago to be precise, and I've been looking for ways to really get some serious battery life.
