Nearly everyone is familiar with the frustrations an iPhone user faces where the device's battery life is concerned. Although a few apps and hacks promise rid of one this issue, no ready solution is available to counter the battery problems.
This area is where jailbreaks intervene. Most of us are still in the market for an effective battery life-enhancing jailbreak tweak, that is, at least something that works (let alone works well). Now, we have an answer - BattSaver.
BattSaver, in reality, works a lot like Carat (well, if not anything else, then at least the philosophy of the jailbreak tweak is the same as the iPhone app). BattSaver identifies portions of the smartphone that are draining its battery life and suppresses them.
Moreover, BattSaver concentrates on iPhone radios, i.e., Wi-Fi and cellular connections. Basically, the jailbreak tweak aims to better manage the connections when iPhone radios are enabled or disabled and, thereby, provides users with an increase in battery life.
It allows users to choose one of the five saving strategies - None, Normal, Aggressive, Ultimate, and Custom -three of which are preset by the jailbreak tweak itself, according to an iDownloadblog report.
- None -No battery optimization
- Normal -Disable radios with device
- Aggressive -Normal, + disable data if WiFi connected
- Ultimate -Radios must be enabled manually
- Custom -You choose
"The first thing you have to realize, is that BattSaver isn't working any magic. It doesn't promise to pull extra battery life from mid air, or by means of some unexplained phenomenon. No, BattSaver's premise is simple: Manage the feature(s) that the drain battery life, and make them more efficient. In BattSaver's case, the feature is the iPhone's radio(s)," the report states.
"All of the Saving Strategies (besides None) are basically a variant of Normal. Once you put your device to sleep in Normal mode, the data radios will shut off after a brief period of time, and this in turn saves battery. Once you wake up your device, the radios reconnect like normal."
