I noticed that other subforums already have this thread. Why not in Note 2 subforum?
Please share your Tasker profiles.
I have a bunch of profiles to:
- adjust screen brightness depending on time of day and on app loaded / maximum brightness when phone is ringing;
- launch music app and set media volume to 11 when headset is plugged (my way around page buddy -- I'm using Nova Launcher so no page buddy...);
- silence my phone during working hours and if I am within the office vicinity;
- maximum volume when Google Now is launched;
- various connection profiles (turn off mobile data / wifi after certain period when display is turned off; turn on airplane mode at 10% battery level; turn off mobile data while playing most games; etc.)
Sorry I'm sharing in paragraph form instead of (pseudo-)code but these profiles are simple enough to be understood without the pseudo- so... :laugh:
I'd love to learn from the Tasker experts here. Please, do share your profiles.
Mine:
* Turn on wifi when around home/work area (based on net loc) and turn off when away. Optionally turn off keyguard as a matter of convenience.
* Log when calls/sms's are received/sent and add Google Calendar entry with details. Useful for missed calls or reading SMS's when don't have phone.
* When in car (via NFC), turn off Wifi, turn on Bluetooth/pair, media volume up, launch music app, log location, turn off keyguard and add Google Calendar entry. Reverse when tagging out of car.
* When sleeping (via NFC), turn on airplane mode, notifications silent, punch in to sleeping app (Sleepbot). Reverse when tagging out when waking up.
There's one which I've tried from profiles and the wiki but doesn't seem to work - which is to disable Wifi / Bluetooth when not connected/not in use.
- wait for 2 seconds after headphones are connected, then turn media volume to full (I rarely use headphones but I connect my phone to my car stereo aux often to listen to podcasts); the 2 second wait is necessary because the phone itself turns the volume down when you connect the headset
- when connected to home wifi, disable the pattern lock and say "phone unlocked" in a robot voice lock once wifi disconnects, say “phone locked"
- set display rotation to auto when certain apps are on (cf. s note), turn off on exit
- start a timer when a certain nfc tag is read, say "starting tea timer", after four minutes say "green tea should be ready now", after eight minutes say "herbal tea should be ready now"; in British English with robot voice effect, of course
I also have some nfc tags that set different profiles (morning/night, leave home & come back, enter/exit car, silent mode on/off)
Disconnect mobile data when on WiFi.
Data off and sporadically on after screen off.
No cell network voice announcement.
Cell network resume voice announcement.
Sync data on WiFi.
Sync off after turning off WiFi.
All volumes 90% at 7am with voice announcement.

I just read your post's saying NFC and was seriously confused. After doing a little research, I'm now in shock and awe that I didn't know about this before. I'm assuming from what I read you guys bought NFC tags and used some tasker magic with 'em I noticed there's like a thousand different types types of tags, stickers, metallic stickers, etc. What ones did you guys get, and really what would be the cheapest route to go that would be able to handle activating a tasker profile. Thanks in advance, you'll just made my day with this amazing revelation

Phone says "missed call" at preset interval for 30 min

I've setup a profile where it puts the phone in vibrate mode while at work (using cell tower) but I can't figure out how to get it back to the original state Sound with Vibrate when I exit that cell tower's range? It goes back to sound but not sound and vibrate. I'm sure I'm missing something, any guidance would greatly be appreciated.
Could a profile be made for when using Gtasks app and checking a task as "Completed" it creates a calendar entry with time for when that task was completed? Any guidance would greatly be appreciated.

Hi guys,
I'm going to guide you!
This tutorial is making your phone talk when connecting a power source.
Ready?
Open Tasker:
Go to profiles tab (if you aren't already)
Create a new profile
Choose "state"
Click on "Power
Click on "Power" again
Click on "any" (choose a state when you
want your phone talks)
Press your backbutton
A new window will pop out
Create a new task
Click on "new task"
Enter a name (you don't have to)
Click on the big "+" button
Click on "misc"
Click on "say"
Click into the area which says "text"
Type the phrase you want your phone says
when plugging in a power source you
selected earlier.
Press your backbutton and try out your
freshly made profile.
Enjoy!

Hi to All,
This is my first thread on the site. Forgive me if I do anything wrong.
Introduction
I have been using the auto answer feature on my touch hd and have found it to be very useful especially when driving. However, this feature is not easily accessible when you want to toggle between on and off. I decided to come up with this application (myCar Profile) and I would like to share it with you.

This application allows auto answer for incoming calls and automatically turns speakerphone on without pressing any buttons on windows mobile professional devices. I am not trying to replace the default feature but simply making it easier to access and use the feature. I have also made it possible to use auto answer with or without a headset.
The application is not code signed therefore you have to grant access if your device is appication locked.
Tips
1) The application should be running to enable the features to work.
2) The talk after (0-30) seconds should the less than the value set for call forwading otherwise your incoming calls will go to voicemail.
3) Assign a hardware button to the application to allow easy access. (Personally I use AE Button Plus to get more button options, I dont know if there are free alternatives)
4) On exiting the program your phone settings will be retained.
FAQ
Q - I have installed myCar Profile but the app does not answer incoming calls
A - Ensure talk after (0-30) seconds is less than the value set for call forwading otherwise your incoming calls will go to voicemail. Also some lock screen software and call intercepting software may be interfering with myCar Profile. Add the app to the exclusion list or change appropriate settings such as [Don't use KeyBoard Hook = OFF in S2U2.] You may also disable offending software temporarily.
Update - 24-01-2010
MyCar Profile Version 0.6 - [Updated app to remove notification on soft key. Added new menu MINIMIZE ON LAUNCH - this menu enables the application to be minimized automatically on start up. Added new menu SAVE STATUS ON EXIT - this menu enables the application to save talk after seconds, speakerphone & auto answer status (i.e. either ON or OFF). Once saved the status will be loaded on next start up.]
Donations: I created this app for anyone who needs it free of charge. However, if you appreciate my work and would like to buy me a beer click Here. Continue to use the app freely without any obligations.
Previous Versions:
MyCar Profile Version 0.5 - [Updated app to include icon & bubble notification. Added a new menu SHOW NOTIFICATION]
MyCar Profile Version 0.4 - [Updated app to increase compatibility with other software. Added a new menu ENHANCED SPEAKERPHONE]
MyCar Profile Version 0.3 - [Updated app to allow automatic bluetooth headset detection.
MyCar Profile Version 0.2 - [Updated app to allow audio routing to bluetooth headset.]

cool app something like what i am looking for but i am seeking a app that will allow for when phone is connected via bluetooth to car which is concered "handsfree mode" making a app that would allow to select to answer call via car or phone or speaker phone of phone when phone is connected to car via bluetooth there is a switch in call menu which says turn off handsfree if some one could create a app to if user selects answer via phone or speaker phone simply turn off the switch and optionaly turning on the speaker phone (if speaker phone option is selected). is this something u could make? i have seen many post asking but no one has made it as of now
thanks for this kuda!
this is also usable while taking a shower.
Wonderfull app, I was always looking for something like this! When I'm driving the car and my girlfriend calls me.. I can pick it up but can not hear her Now i can with this usefull app!

Thank you for trying the app. At the moment I haven't found a way to detect bluetooth headset state.
Hi Kuda
Great idea, thanks for sharing but on my device works 50%: autoanswer yes, speakerphone no... Can you do something please ?
same with tito12... autoanswer: YES, speakerphone: NO.
I will run soms tests on my Touch HD to see if the speaker is working properly!

Hi All,
I will look into the bugs later today. At first thought it might something to do with bluetooth audio routing which i have a solution. Expect a new version soon
Works as described on my Fuze w/updated stock ROM. Tried;
- auto-answer on/speakerphone on
- auto-answer on/speakerphone off
- auto-answer off/speakerphone on
- auto-answer on/speakerphone off/BT headset active
and every scenario worked as expected. Also released the process and RAM after closing .
Thanks,
JIM
Update: myCar Profile Version 0.3
Hi All,
As promised I have updated the app again to allow for automatic detection of bluetooth headsets. First post has been updated with new screenshots explaining how the app is intended to work or be used. For those having problems try latest version and report back on this thread. It would be nice if you also report which devices you are having problems or which devices the app is working perfect.
Enjoy
problem with iGO8 on
the new version works great in my polaris, wm 6.1 official rom! it's compatible with s2u2 which i'm happy about and works even if the phone is at a sleep mode. however, when my iGO8 is on, the speaker on does not work (the auto answer works though). i hope you can find a fix for this. most of the time, i use my gps while driving and i get calls quite often. it would be perfect if the speaker on works too.
thanks a lot for this great app!
one suggestion too. if you can make an icon for your app and place it on the taskbar at the top (together with the battery, signal strength, etc.) so that it tells us that it is on and running. perhaps clicking on that icon can also open it to change the setting, or quit the app.

Its working on my device and other people's devices. I am supprised that it doesn't work for you. Anyway, try the following:
1) Exit the app if its running.
2) Launch the app - don't press any buttons after after app started.
3) make a call to your phone and see if speakerphone works.
Which device is is the speakerphone failing and under what settings.
Hope this helps

i did steps 1-3 but the speakerphone still doesn't work.
i'm using HTC Touch Viva (Opal) with WM6.5 Build 23506 (COM5).
Does not work (either Spearkerphone or AutoAnswer) on HTC Cruise with custom 6.1 ROM.
It does not autoanswer: S2U2 simply ignores MyCarProfile settings and keeps ringing until I press answer key.
Speakerphone doesn't work regardless autoanswer setting.

Do you have any other software using the speakerphone when you run run the app? I wish I could simulate the problem then I would be able to help.
Hi All,
If anyone has the same device(s) as our colleagues who are having problems can you be of assistance or can you let us know your experience with the app so that we may be able to help others or revisit the code.
Thanks,

I have just installed S2U2 on my Touch HD to test. At first it did not work as you have reported. In order for it to work I set the following setting in S2U2 Settings:
Don't use KeyBoard Hook = OFF
This is because myCar Profile uses keyboard hook.

Anyone tried this app yet? It seems to be able to do... um... everything?! Ha! I am interested to see what custom profiles and tasks people have set up in theirs!

You can download a 14-day trial from the developers website:

(it is £3.99 in the market for the full version)
Wow, I would have normally glazed right over this. For some reason I read the articles and this is pretty cool. I started thinking of a bunch of uses for it. I bought it outright. Thanks for the post, moonrock!
Welcome!
I noticed in the wiki or forum (somewhere!) that they were able to set up a profile that remapped the camera button -- I am wondering if this can be used to remap the power button while the camera app is open, maybe?
So I haven't had much time to play with Tasker, but the two scripts I have currently running:
* Silence from 11pm > 8am, simple, but it replaced the other 'profiles' type apps
* Disable screen rotation when in the Kindle app, for whatever reason this isn't an option in the Kindle app itself.
I have it set to turn on my Bluetooth when plugged in and off when unplugged works great!

Fantastic! I need to set up a (again, simple!) task that will turn on bluetooth in the times that I am always in my car (commute to work and home, same time every day) which won't be difficult.
I have Locale already, but this may replace it (gotta love paying for apps to find out another one does 10000x more things! oops!) I've had Locale since first getting my G1 though, so it's gotten plenty of use.
So glad you posted about this app... its amazing..

I have a couple tasks set up. First, I have gps automatically turn on and off when entering and exiting google maps. I also have one that lets me pick input style when I go into or leave remotedroid (swype's backspace doesn't work in it). And I have a couple apps that like to hang around after I close them, so I set them to be killed upon closing.
All in all it's a great app, well worth the $6.

Also worth noting is that it is £3.49 from the developer directly (paypal, via his website) and a larger % goes direct to him that way.
I have it setup for text to speech on SMS messages when my phone connects to my cars bluetooth.
I am trying to find a way to let my replay to said SMS with the voice to text feature or just ignore it. Anyone have any idea how to accomplish that?
Also think it would be cool to have it change my wallpaper based on the weather conditions in my area, but Im not sure how to go about doing that either.

Beautiful Widgets (paid app, couple bucks) and the (free) Beautiful Live Wallpaper. Uses the weather widget to make the wallpaper match the weather
Tasks that I've set up so far:
Silent / dim screen / timeout / alarm volume 7 while I am asleep (timed task)
Vibrate / auto brightness / timeout (slightly longer) while at work (timed task)
Bluetooth on while in my car (timed task -- specificlly during the hours of my work commute)
Load Vlingo when Bluetooth connects, Kill Vlingo when BT disconnects
GPS on when Maps, Navigation and Foursquare are opened
Display timeout (1hr) and brightness (max) when USB plugged in (for when i am in my car, typically listening to music and/or have vlingo up on the screen, annoying (and worthless) for the display to timeout if vlingo is supposed to be a one-touch process!)
Anyway of exporting a profile then importing it so some of the more advanced useres can create some and we can tweak them ?
Edit: Having hard time getting them to do what i want .
Probably, but I am not entirely sure how... lol
My initial use:
As previously mentioned on this board the bluetooth streaming volume is not the loudest, so I always end up turning up the volume for bluetooth. Then when I plugin my headphones I destroy my eardrums.
So I setup a task that when I connect to my bluetooth car stereo, it automatically sets the volume to max and turns off wifi for good measure.
I have another task that when I plugin headphones, it sets the volume to 60% and opens the doubletwist music player.
Finally I setup the standard battery task so that when my battery gets to 20% it turns of all the GPS, wifi, and bluetooth radios, as well as dimming my screen.

Ah, I keep meaning to setup the low battery task as well!
I have two keyboards i really like in 2 different orientations.
Droid X keyboard:
its sweet autocorrections and large real estate makes it ideal for two thumb typing in landscape
swype:
slower than droid X keyboard in landscape, but in portrait, this is possibly the fastest/most accurate keyboard around.
I tried to set it up so that i could change my keyboards depending on the orientation, but i could not figure it out
im also for an app that turns your screen off with a timer (in the background). and have that work when you turn your screen downward./
any with either of these would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone know how to make it so that the Incall volume goes up to max on the connect of the phone call? I cant seem to find it in the settings meeting seems to only answer on 3/4 volume. Thought Tasker might be able to .
This app is awesome. I only got a few tasks setup but one nice one is turning the screen timeout to 23hr when I open the web browser and back to 30 secs when I exit.

To export a profile tap the context (left) icon <profile<export. To import just open the file with Tasker as the chosen program I think. lots of premade tasks on the Tasker wiki. (it won't let me post a link)
Just got the Maxx and so far I'm lovin it.
What Smart Actions are you guys running to help extend battery life? There seems to be a lot of possibilities.
Here's what I have so far:
1.Trigger:
*Wif-Fi Connection
Action:
*Cellular Data (disable)
*Bluetooth (off)
2.Triggers:
*Display (off)
*Charging (not charging)
*Motion Detector (no movement)
Action:
*GPS (off)
*Background Sync (off)
Anything else that might be useful? Can too many actions drain battery life?
I know a lot of people who set their 4g/wifi connection to turn off once the screen has been off for 15 minutes or so. I'm a programmer so my smart actions are never-ending IF statements. Here's some of mine:
Name: Sleep
Trigger: Late-night --> early morning, not charging
Actions: Data off, wifi off, GPS off, display 0% brightness, timeout 15 seconds, sync off, silent
Name: Sleep charging
Trigger: Late-night --> early morning, charging
Actions: Everything on except GPS, brightness 0% (burns my eyes otherwise), silent
Name: Work
Trigger: Wifi on & joined work Wifi
Actions: GPS off, timeout 15 seconds (incase a coworker tries to grab my phone), silent
Name: Charging
Trigger: Daytime
Actions: All sounds set to Loud, no display timeout, adaptive brightness, everything else on
Name: Low Battery
Trigger: Battery < 10%
Actions: Everything off except 3g
Some of these settings increased my battery performance substantially, with weak use of my phone I can make it last about 48 hours (regular RAZR). Never use Bluetooth so I keep it off 24/7

*Wif-Fi Connection
Action:
*Cellular Data (disable)
*Bluetooth (off)
2.Triggers:
*Display (off)
*Charging (not charging)
*Motion Detector (no movement)
Action:
*GPS (off)
*Background Sync (off)
Anything else that might be useful? Can too many actions drain battery life?

first off I recommend you delete the trigger "Motion Detector" from your number 2, I find its sensitive to the slightest movement and seems to override the screen off trigger (meaning whatever your disable with this action will run just from the phone moving even if the screen is still off)
by default I have GPS off completely, on the rare occasion I need it I will turn it on manually.
I use one primary Smart Action and that is a reprogrammed "Battery Extender" with
TRIGGERS:
Screen Off
Charging (not charging)
ACTIONS:
Background Sync (Disable)
Cellular Data (Disable)
basically with these settings when the screen is off its equivalent to a "dumb phone", you can recieve calls and texts but no "push" notifications, this increased the time between charges by atleast 20% for me.
Also as I say in all these threads not forget to regularly (atleast every 2 weeks) power cycle (shutdown then reboot) your phone, I went like the first month of owning without ever shutting it off and when I got in the habit of doing this I noticed atleast a 10% increase in time between charge compared to never shutting off.
Saw a similar thread for Note II and thought it would be great to see what's going on here. I'm still trying to figure Tasker out but I know its powers are awesome. I learn by seeing and doing. Hope to see some great examples. Thanks!

Here are my current tasker profiles.
First two turn data on or off if screen on or off.
Next one lowers cpu and governor with screen off.
Next three adjust cpu and governor based on battery level
Last one jacks up everything while plugged in to a power source.

Nice. I love BEAST MODE. I'm trying to learn Tasker without much success so far.
I think I put this thread in the wrong place. Apologies.

Well I'm sure there isn't anything wrong with it being here. I know a bit about Tasker, but by no means am I an expert. If you have any specific questions though, I may be able to help out.
My best (and only) tasker profile is one that makes a nandroid each night using the onandroid script

Hello,everybody.I'm new here.And there are always something wrong with my Samsung mobile.I hope we will have a good time here.:laugh:
My profiles are all time based. almost all based around my workday.
Ex. After 10pm until 8am, I have all sounds and alerts off except for ringer.
During day, I use WIFI and BT, normal sounds
On weekends I only use WIFI, but no BT no GPS and different ringtones.
When on power (AC) I have all on WIFI, BT, GPS and a brighter screen.
and I have a group of tasker profiles for my Pebble smartwatch.
I have an On Call profile that has special alerting triggered that takes priority over other things based on calendar info.
Tasker is what you make it. It's well worth learning to use as you can automate most things.

Hey! The forum and all the help is amazing.
I am glad you started this thread. Tasker is not entirely simple to use when setting up complicated functions and my noobness only bought it yesterday so I could use the help along with a few others I am sure.
Thanks for prior info & in advance.

Anyone here willing to help me learn tasker. . I just can't seem to figure anything out.
Was trying to do the hi galaxy s voice thing but all the instructions say are create a profile with this
Context -> S-voice is open
Action -> Go Home 0, Open "Voice Search"
But for the life of me I cannot figure this out

Looking to make a TASKER profile
alright since this is kinda a thread that might answer this question, I need some info, so I'll ask if somebody can help me with setting up the following.
I need a profile setup for Tasker that sets my wallpaper based on whether I'm at work or not based off of whether or not there's a WORK event on my calendar and what time that event happens. (I work at a Sprint store and I need to make sure that my wallpaper is more "customer friendly" during my shifts and can go back to what I want it to be when not.)
If anybody can give me some pointers as to how to do this, I'd be your friend for life. Or at least until you can't answer a question, whichever comes first.
Since someone asked me to share my flick phone to take a picture (like moto x) profile you have to adjust sensitivity to your preference
Sent from my SM-N900P using xda app-developers app
I have a few pretty simple tasks setup:
Profiles:
Night Mode
Triggers: power AC , time: 23:45 - 7am connected to home wifi
entry task: Night Mode ( SMS Backup, Silent Mode, Lampshade sunset,Auto Brightness Off, Display Level 0)
Description:Backup all new SMS using smsbackup+ perform a "sunset" using the Philips Hue lightbulbs I have in the bedroom and put the screen brightness to extremely dim.
exit task: Night Mode end ( auto brightness and silent mode set to off)
Morning Sunrise
Triggers: Alarm Done, connected to home wifi, time 6am - 11am
entry Task: Sun Rise (lampshade sunrise)
description: when a phone alarm goes off first thing in the morning whilst at home perform a "sunrise" effect with the Philips Hue lightbulbs in the bedroom.
Silent In Lectures
Triggers: calendar entry at my university address.
Entry Task: Silent Mode On
Exit Task: Silent Mode off
planning on adding a few more useful things, but the ones that I have seem quite nice.
I have a ton of tasker tasks setup mostly having to do with the lights in my house (all with voice commands, ex: turn on christmas lights, turn off kitchen light, etc), but some others are to directly call contacts without waiting for google to confirm who the contact is and so on and so forth, start playing any random netflix video i'd like to watch with voice command, start the sonos sound system in my house with voice command, make my phone ring when i lose it by sending a text containing a certain string of text from any other device/phone, turning my hotspot on automatically when connected to the bluetooth in my car, when disconnecting the bluetooth it auto shuts off the hotspot, switching my notifications on my smartwatch on when a certain string of text is sent to the phone.
On my tablet that i have as my entertainment system in my car i have tasker as well and as soon as it connects to the hotspot from my phone it automatically starts recording my drive with video, than opens google music and starts playing my music, than opens waze. When the wifi connection to my phones hotspot is gone it turns everything off on the tablet and just sends it back to the homescreen.
One task im still trying to get going is the ability to turn on and off the television which i've seen before just cannot seem to find the module i need to do it, since i dont want to use the same i'd use for lamps afraid it will burn out the tv and not work properly.
I just started playing around with tasker yesterday. Coming from Llama, I found that it takes longer to learn tasker but the rewards were so much greater. Here are two profiles that might be useful for others too.
The first one is to reject a call from my gf and create a button on the screen so I can call her back on my unlimited plan.
I included a vibration pattern there so I can get some sort of alert going on after the incoming call is rejected. You can of course add a ringtone there as well.
use a phone ring event to trigger following task:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tbgjtewdebdnitn/Ring_Back_DM.tsk.xml
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vkxxbpjqoc07uiv/Call_Dm.scn.xml
The first file is the task, the second one is the scene that creates the button to call back. You will need to edit that 2nd file to add your own number to call, just look for ###replace### in that file.
To dismiss the button without calling back, just tap and hold it.
Another task I made after I saw somebody mentioned about displaying current address in Dashclock. This one involves google map geocode api and a little javascript.
To conserve battery, this only shows you a rough address. If you need accuracy, you can add a action at the start to turn on GPS for say 30-60 seconds.
Also If you want to use the address somewhere else instead of showing up in Dashclock, just replace the last action with your own. BTW, you need to install Dashclock tasker extension before running this task(if you're keeping the last action).
Use a cell ID variable set event to trigger this task:

28 Hours Unplugged & 7:14 Screen On Time- Beans Build 6
27 Hours Unplugged & 9:52 Screen On Time- Baja 5.5 Beta
*see bottom of post for screens of these results
With the GN3's monster display, all the usable features, and the integration into our normal daily activities, I knew getting a FULL DAY unplugged would be the Holy Grail for this device. So I set out to find the settings, apps and tips that offered the most benefit of the device's features while still providing incredible battery life. These are based on a ROOTED, Verizon LTE, standard battery device (some settings are useful for Stock, non-Rooted devices as well)
ONCE a month I will run the battery down to <5% then charge it to 100% without interruption. The rest of the time I charge the battery when it reaches between 20-30%. With a ton of reading, THIS method seems to be the universal middle ground to keep your GN3 battery healthy, and get the most charges out of it.
Here's what I've found so far: feel free to add your input on what works for you!
Basic, Easy To Adjust Settings:
Display Brightness: 50-75% (Auto - Off)
This usually more than enough for normal use, and with most Custom Roms having a Brightness Quick Toggle, or a Brightness slider in the Notification Bar, it is very easy and quick to change this setting to watch videos or in bright light situations.
Turn Off GPS In Location Settings
Many of us use GPS regularly, but very few of us need it on 24/7. Believe it or not, GPS constantly correcting position, and constantly updating apps using location info takes a lot of power over the period of an entire day. Manually activating GPS is a quick toggle away when it is needed.
Turn Off SYNC In Google settings
Syncing a bazillion apps every 30 min or few hours adds up at the end of a full day! When I check my email, FaceBook, Twitter, Weather, Stocks, (you get the picture) I just sync THAT app. If I am doing a mass information check, I'll SYNC ALL, but I do it manually.
Most feel the need for email, FaceBook, Twitter updates to be instantaneous and constant. IF constant connectivity is your goal, and it is certainly your choice, just realize it won't come with great battery life. It's about balance. I believe my settings find a good middle ground between ALWAYS ON and ZERO FUNCTION.
Screen Timeout In Display Setting - Set To 30 Seconds
This one saves the power button AND battery, and it's self explanatory.
Power Saving Mode In Settings
Power Saving Mode give you the option to limit CPU performance, use lower power consumption in the display, and turning off haptic feedback (vibrate on key touch, etc) ALL which require additional power, reducing battery life. If you need one of these to be changed, easy access and toggling makes the change quick and simple.
Turn Off Wi-Fi Settings
For additional batt life, go to settings > wi-fi > soft menu key > advanced > uncheck Wi-Fi Notification & Always Allow Scanning. Some users report noticeable increase in batt life unchecking these settings.
Turn ON Smart Network (rom specific)
Turn on Smart Network in settings>more settings to aid in extending battery life. Simply put, Smart Network temporarily turns off the network after a period of non-use, and when your device screen is turned on again, it turns the network ON. This DOES NOT affect INCOMING calls, texts, or any INCOMING communications. It does take a second or two for the network to reconnect, but it is negligible and barely noticeable.
FREE Apps To Help Increase Battery Life:
GREENIFY - Play Store
This app basically gives you the ability to place apps that usually run in the background in a "Hibernate" state. When you click on the widget or the app to use it, it automatically "Wakes Up" and you have use of the app. After a period of inactivity that app places itself back into "Hibernation" until the next time you need it. Set up consists of downloading the app, highlighting the apps you do not want to constantly function in the background, and hitting the checkmark. UI for Gereenify is simple and very effective.
Better Battery Stats - Play Store
BBS gives you an overall view of what your battery is doing, what is using it the most, what is causing wake-locks and anything else going on with the battery. UI is fairly simple, knowing what to look for is probably the hardest part of using BBS. If an unknown app is keeping your device form going into DEEP SLEEP, you'll see it here. If an app is running your CPUs ragged, you'll see which CPU frequencies are being used and for how long.
Perfect System Monitor - Play Store
AS you can tell by the name, this app monitors most of your device's important system functions. The functions that can help you catch a battery hungry app are; CPU Frequency, Cpu Usage, Battery Voltage, Current Network Up and Download... If any app is acting a fool without you knowing it, or running in the background sending 150 other apps your Google stats sucking your battery life, this app will let you see in real time if something has your cpu pegged, your battery voltage pegged or your network active without you using it.
Extreme Battery Saving Measures:
Turn Off Notifications
Turn off NOTIFICATIONS from apps that frequently send notifications (Twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, etc.) When you open these apps they usually update themselves upon opening. Again, if staying in CONSTANT contact with every app is your goal, forget trying to save battery life
Turn Off Vibration
Self explanatory
Consolidate Widgets Into Folders
Individual WIDGETS each use a little power to connect themselves to the app they represent. When placed in FOLDERS, their individual "footprint" is reduced significantly as is the power required t display each widget. Instead of having 45 individual widgets on your home screen, consolidate similar widgets into FOLDERS. Creating a folder varies by Rom You can try long press on home screen, create or click FOLDER, name the FOLDER (optional), drag similar widgets into the folder.

Great advice bro. I got 1 day 17 hours and 4 hours screen on time and the only thing I turned off was the gps toggle and I greenify a lot of apps..smart network is always off, I never turn on power saving mode and display time is about the same as you as well as brightness. I'm going to try some of your advice and see how far I can go. Thanks great post.

Just thought it was worth mentioning that since our display is AMOLED a dark theme/background will also help reduce display battery drain. If a pixel is black the screen doesn't turn on that pixel.

Mine (stock rooted MJE) doesn't have smart network either. I see the OP is running Bean/Baja/Eclipse ROM, so it may be a feature added for that ROM.
That aside, smart network looks interesting, but reminds me of Juicedefender back when I used it with my DInc. Can anyone confirm that push notifications (that work through data) actually work with it? If they do work, I'm would flash one of those ROMs right now.

@az_biker nice thread here bro. Guys the tips that az_biker has given everyone here is right on. We should all be able to get a full days use and not have to worry about charging through the day. I've been unplugging at 4am and streaming music all day over 3g in a factory and browsing forums and Web through the day and still have over half a battery at 8pm.

I get all my notifications, calls, texts, game updates, gmail alerts, and haven't seen ANY blocking/loss of functionality when using Smart Network. Logically if it prohibited any of those functions, no one would want to use it
