Finally... a Battery Life Improvement App that Actually Works Well: Carat

[LoudRam]

So has anyone gotten a score yet? According to the reviews on this app very few have gotten any feedback or score. The developers asked everyone to be patient because their servers are overloaded. So how long is everyone going to wait? I might give it another week.

haven't gotten a score yet, but it has been pretty spot-on for calculating the average battery life. I'm going to stick with this for another week, if nothing happens by then I'll uninstall.

Here is a link to their forum in case you want to keep tabs on what's going on. http://carat.cs.berkeley.edu/community.html

Just checked carat, seems battery hogs are (in order) TV Guide, Badass Battery Monitor, Handcent, No Lock and Phone. Shouldn't they excluded basic telephone funtions from the kill list?

It's good to see that you finally got some info back. At least we know it works. But I just thought of something. If it compares your phone to similar phones with the same OS, I might be waiting a while. There aren't that many Rezounds running ICS. Oh well.

This seems like a good idea but I tend to go by reviews when installing an app and this one has almost as many 1 star as 5 star, I will keep an eye on it and see if they get things working right and people start giving better reviews.

On my D2 it still isn't giving me info. back. Not sure if it'll be worth testing on my Rezound tomorrow or not.

I've had it two weeks until it gave me any feedback, still a zero score. Probably won't rate itself though.

I just got some results today telling me which apps it thought were hogs. My score is still 0 though, so I am not sure what the deal is there. I'll keep it installed a bit longer ...

I finally got a a J-score: 94.

Battery hogs were fmservice, contacts, and modem helper (I think that's what it was).

Bionic running 2233 ics leak. Rooted without a custom ROM.

I got my list of hogs and actions but no score yet.
