    Arrow BattSaver - The only Cydia tweak that can double battery life

    one of my biggest gripes with jailbreaking is the FACT that it can take a toll on battery life. if this does indeed work as advertised i may consider staying jailbroken more often

    plus pod2g is pimping this too so it must be legit??


    Experience shows that the battery can last 2 times longer with BattSaver running ! Everyone knows that the largest battery eater is the data/3G activity. BattSaver will control the state of the radios for you.

    Clever: automatically switches off battery-draining components when unused
    Efficient: up to 2 times battery life and more!
    Wise: extends battery life time by reducing number of charge cycles
    Clear: includes monitoring views to check battery state in real-time!
    Intuitive: with pull to refresh feature
    Cost-effective: only $2.99

    Requirements:
    Compatible with iPhone. Requires iPhone OS 5.0 to 5.1.1.

    I got it, then deleted it.

    Would turn WiFi etc off, but not turn them back on! Tried all sorts of settings but was too inconsistent. Gave up. I may try it again when it gets updated. Still they got my money now!

    You all probably know of how I went a little crazy with battery life lately do this was an instant purchase for me!!!
    I don't know how I feel though! Im still so traumatized by my battery woes editor that I have no trace of battery on my phone except for the popups at 20% and 10%!
    So I have no idea if it's actually doing what it says it's doing

    I've seen conflicting reviews as to whether this actually works or not.

    Had this for almost a day.

    It turned all my location services when set on aggressive. I've also had to re turn my data on several times.

    I'll see what I'm at, at the end of the day, I'm usually around 30-50 percent.

    3 hours down and I'm at 89% so looking good.

    Radio wake up intervals is 5 minutes.
    Delay before radios on/off is 5 seconds.

    Also save statistics is now off. I thought I switched earlier but I guess not.

    I would like to note that all I have done during these 5 hours is listen to music with light (maybe a little medium) use of tapatalk, Facebook, twitter, and eBay. Or at least what I consider light

    The big test will be lunch. That's when I do most of my surfing.

    Bought this app and it's pretty solid. It works great alongside iControl, as I am on wifi most of the day, when I lose wifi connection iControl will automatically enable Data connection for me. Will be messing around with settings to see which ones work best for me.

    This is how my "work" day ended. About 10 hours.

    Like I said I'm usually anywhere between 20-50.

    Hello guys, so after experimenting with this tweak, it's working the way I want it to. I just want to ask if anyone notices the radios turning on when sleeping to fetch new data. I have mine set to 5 minutes but I haven't been able to get anything when standby.

    I have tried to persevere with this but it's just too damn inconsistent! Yes it might turn of radio/WiFi etc, but doesn't turn them back on randomly. I have to go into settings myself and manually turn on data etc.

    Certainly not automatic.

    I can understand how it can theoretically save battery power. But as it stands for me in this current version, its a no-go. I have given it a fare trial I think.

    For the radios to turn off when idle and on when awake, you have to use custom profile and have the radios management to "on" and not "auto" for each radio you want to use. For example, if you are not in a wifi zone and have both 3G/Edge and wifi's radio management to "on" then when your device falls asleep it will turn them both off. When your device wakes up it will turn them both on and try to connect. If you are not in a wifi area then it will automatically turn off wifi and try to connect to data. If you are in a wifi zone it will automatically connect and if the option to disable data is turn on, then it will turn off your data for 3G.

    My settings are 5 minutes data turns on in background, 5 seconds radios turn off and radios disable when standby.

    i actually disabled it because i feel like it would randomly turn off data, and not turn it back on, also it seemed to only turn off location services for weather, and even that was random, ill get the update now and see if there are any differences

    Are you by chance using any other data service tweak that would automatically enable/disable data like iControl, Auto3G, BatteryDoctorPro, etc?

    Nope. Only battsaver, it would just turn off all sorts of sorts of things (like it is supposed to) but it wouldn't turn them back on for some reason!!!
    Like if I locked then unlocked and opened my sbsettings drop down, location, data, wifi, and edge would all be turned off... So I kept my phone awake for about two minutes checked again and they were all still toggled off

    I didn't have an accurate reading on my usage. Tomorrow I will, I'll reset it before I go into work. I'll post the results.

    The recent update should be more reliable, It's been working perfectly for me. Have you restarted your phone after the install?
