juice defender is the best i've used

Juice Defender is good.

There's an option to disable data when the screen is off and to automatically check every 15 minutes or so for a notification.

That's the trade off with these apps. They turn off the radio to conserve battery. I personally don't use them because of that reason alone.

Actually the least you can set it for is to check data at 5m and then you can set how long to check data for from 15s - 2m (5m) if you select to check data every 15min or more.

By selecting to check at 5m and to check for 2m makes the delay a maximum of 3m.

Anything less then it totally defeats the purpose of using this app. Juice Defender isn't a magical app that makes your battery better. It just helps manage your phones usage with things like data so you can set it to not be used constantly.

i put it to Aggressive and it's helped me save so much juice. if you turn on your screen alot (for no reason), the app won't do you much good.

I had a hit and a miss experience with Juice Defender. Don't use it anymore since it did more harm than good in my case.

Also, looks like that Beats installer thing is a YMMV app
