Carat: The Brilliant App That Increases Your Battery Life By Showing What Other Apps To Kill

“Kill Pandora – Expected Battery Life Improvement: 1 hour 50 minutes” This is what you’ll learn from Carat, an incredibly useful free new iOS and Android app that’s the first to give you personalized mobile battery life-saving recommendations.

Carat quietly takes measurements from you device, does some math, combines it with other people’s anonymized data, and sends back tips on if you should update your OS, kill or restart apps, and how many more minutes of tablet or phone fiddling you’ll gain.

As battery tech is expected to improve slowly, some say increasing life just 5% a year, and as we get faster processors, more powerful apps, and brighter screens, everyone could use a Carat in their pocket.

The guys that built Carat? They’re not joking around. They’re a team of top-notch M.S. and Ph.D scientists from the UC Berkeley electrical engineering and computer science department’s Algorithms, Machines, and People Laboratory (AMP Lab). Carat wasn’t built to make money.

Can you just post plain text, maybe 2 or 3 paragraphs and then any link(s)?

As more and more of us access TV with a mobile connection posts like this chew up a lot of unnecessary bandwidth, and are challenging to read.

Technically you are not supposed to just paste an entire article.

Finally, are you using this app.? If so, please share your experiences.

^^ I read on computer screen and I don't like seeing a full article, first of all there is a thing called a fair use, then it's against the forum rules just as posting in bold oversized or unusual font.

There are plenty of folks who like making 2-3 word comments but they quote everything and a whole article gets quoted multiple times for no reason but just because someone was too dam_n lazy to edit their quote to the part that they wanted to coment on. Makes scrolling through the forum a lot harder.
