best screen lock app

hello everyone,
I had try some screen lock app but i had not found one that I really like.... i tried sensorlock and LockMeLite from geoks100, those are not so bad but i would like somethings else maybe something with gsensor, however olso without gsensor would be great.
thanks for the help and sorry for my bad english

S2U2 does the job for me, very customizable as well. No g-sensor support tho..

Hi, try Throttlelock or S2U2. I use S2U2 and its great!

I would like to use S2U2 but there seems to be comments around its use and battery drain. Is this the case or do you guys have a more positive experience with it?
Cheers

Don't notice any excessive battery drain here.

tanks guys your apps really rocks.... I have just tried Throttlelock and S2U2... both great, but I think I'm going for S2U2
thanks again

S2U2
The new Version it´s owesome you can even lock your hd now, great. But it seems that the application use to much from the battery again. The Version before didn´t use much voltage.
I tried to find out, how much the application need. I didt use the phone for an almost whole day. I didn´t call and I didn´t used the phone for playing. Only in the following morning it should wake me up. The battery shows me 100% by the beginning. The following morning it shows me remain 40% battery capacity. I´m sorry but that´s too much.
The application self is very very cool and the idear behind is cool as well, but the developer should check the application again, because from 100% Battery to 40% (in between 10 hours) is too much
thx

If I use the version 1.45 the voltage will stays for two or two and a half days without charging. Even than I still have between 45%-35%.
I changed it back to 1.45 and I don´t have any problem. Maybe these developers will see it later and they will change something inside the application.
I like S2U2 combine with geye and the lock application, but it sucks to much voltage from the battery.

[Q] How to completely disable all battery saving measures

Hi there,
when the battery goes below 15% the phone takes some measures in order to keep it lasts as long as possible. Some of them are:
you are not allowed to take photos/videos;
you are not allowed to play videos;
screen brightness is set to the lowest level;
you get a notification sound and a dialog message at 15%, 10% and 5% of the battery.
I am not even sure they are all, I wonder if I could get a complete list of them.
Now the point is: I don't want any of them! I don't care of saving power because I have a spare battery. I want my phone to work at its full potential until its last drop of power.
Honestly I would have expected to have an option to enable/disable this feature from the system settings, but apparently there is not.
I already know there is a mod to disable this saving battery feature for the camera app. My question is: do you know whether there is a specific mod, or a collection of tweaks, which allows one to disable all the battery saving measures for when it goes under 15%?

If you have a spare battery, I would suggest switching it when your first one gets to 15%—therefore avoiding all your problems. I don't believe it's healthy for a battery to sit idly while dead. Leave some juice in it; it'll last longer overall.

easy, use cm7
and post in the right efing section next time

cm7 has the battery warning dialogs as well. please correct me if they can be disabled, i haven't found a way to do so so far

Mmmh, that is a very interesting observation. I will generally follow this advice in the future, thanks.
Although most of the times I won't be draining the battery down to 0%, sometimes I probably will, so I would still like to be able to disable the battery saving measures.

I tried 7.1RC1 but abandoned it for the following reasons:
battery life seriously decreased;
could not disable camera shutter sound;
could not set 3:2 ratio to camera photos;
missed ThinkFree Office app
missed count down and stop watch
missed the wonderful Samsung Smart Alarm app
could not play many video files

... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing. If you can't answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?

I apologize for the inconvenience caused. Can it be moved to the proper section?
Actually my true intention, as I was almost sure nobody had done it before, was to start from this question to discuss ways to do what I was asking and then develop a mod to do it.

[Q] Battery Draining Problem desite hd

My HTC Desire HD is draining battery over night and being very hot in the morning while battery only remaining under 5% even if it was on 100% at night!
It remains like 10% ~ 15% while i put on the airplane mode.
I have installed Jelly Time by RandomBlame R30
juice defender, advanced task killer, and some more apps to avoid battery draining!
UPDATE: I have downgraded my phone to ICS Sabsa Prime
removed advanced task killer because a fellow member suggested me to... still facing the problem!
Screen shots are added in this thread so that you guys can have a better idea of my problem.
UPDATE: I have added some more screen shots of better battery status as suggested.
Please help me out here... any help in this regard will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Mortal Eternity!

Install Better Battery Stats and check wakelocks and alarms.

Well i just installed sabsa prime version 11.0... battery draining problem in day time is gone... thanks to alireza babae but after installing this rom my set is booting randomly...
Please help!

Can we have a list of the apps you are using to save battery?
And uninstall Advanced Task Manager. Task managers do more bad than good.
Sent from my Nexus 4, powered by CyanogenMod via XDA Developers app.

uninstall advance task manager and download Battery Calibration from Play Store. Follow the instructions in that app and it may solve your problem

Screen Shots
i want to upload some screen shots of my problem... but the attachment tab is disable... how to enable it? i uploaded the screen shots to a hosting site but i can not even post the link... what am i suppose to do if i want to share some screen shots with you guys???

Did you install Better Battery Stats...?

Yes i did n i did even more... want to share some screen shots... can you tell me how i can attach em? my attach tab is not working... i assume its a forum thing... please help

Here are some screen shots of what i m talking about
please view my uploaded screen shots so that you guys could get an idea of what i m talking about!

Er, what about BBS screen shots? I see your phone awake when the screens not on, so it's probably wakelocks or alarms. BBS will tell you which.

i have uploaded some screen shots of better battery status in the first post and adding some here... i need your suppot in this regard as i dont understand why you asked me to screen shots from this application specifically... dont know what are wakelocks or alarms and how to remove them if i am suffering to these locks...

More specifically, screenshots of kernel wake locks, partial wake locks (already there), and alarms. Select them from the top drop down box.
To use BBS: use it to diagnose what is keeping your phone from battery saving "deep sleep" mode. For example: you see Starting Alert Services in your partial wake locks? It's locking your phone awake more than it should. So what's going on with the app that uses it, which appears to be Contacts? Do you have apps installed or something running that uses it disproportionately?

Sir, i will upload more screen shots here that you asked for... thanks for all your help, can you/any one please suggest best rom to same battery?

I personally feel that choosing a ROM for battery life is not the most efficient method. There are many things that affect battery drain to a significant degree: backlight, GPS, WiFi, alarms, wakelocks, etc. I have not found that ROM choice affects battery drain nearly as much as other things (unless, of course, you're using a highly experimental or brand new ROM).

[Q] Battery issues and some features missing after the update

Heyy Ppl I recently updated to 4.3 I see tht battery life is less in it and some features like when I used to plugin the headset before my Walkman used to start that is missing and when I used to lock screen in previous version I used to see a flash line on the screen that is missing. can anyone help me to save battery and features I am new to developers.??

Hi,
Battery saving - the single most important thing I learned was to turn off the internet when it's not needed. While it's on, any app can upload data or download when you're not using it. When many apps to that, it burns the battery badly. It's no joke, try it. It makes more of a difference than screen brightness. I have that at almost full and I get 2 days battery because I turn of data when not needed.
Features - The Walkman feature, look in Walkman settings, it should still be there - something like continue playback when headphones inserted. You don't see a flash line when unlocking? Mine does, that's strange.

thanks

HELP! Massive battery drain on OnePlus 3!

Guys, my OnePlus 3 (running OxygenOS 3.2.7 no root) battery is HORRIBLE! I can only get a maximum of 3 hours SOT from 100% to ~5%!
I've tried every method i found. I don't keep location ON, set my wi-fi off during night, i only charge it until full (NOT overnight!). Wiped my cache yesterday and still NO RESULT!
You can see in the screenshots below that #1 app that eats battery is "Android System" that has CPU total 2h 13m. (today)
Please help me on what to do!!!
>i'm a new user and can't post links to screenshots

Same problem here

Android system is supposed to do that. It's quite normal it really depends on usage. What are you doing in the meantime? What is your usage pattern?

Then the only option you have is boot into your stock recovery wipe your device and then installing all your essential apps initially from play store ....
Do this first then let me know the result.
Also do you use Wi-Fi or mobile data, if both then in what proportions?
I'll help you out mate worry not.

My man do as i ask you shall not be disappointed(hopefully).
But if what you want to do is find the culprit app then use wakelock detector from playstore.
The choice is yours.

Whoa! I downloaded wakelock detector lite now and i see that i can make it work even without root. This wasn't possible an year ago when i tried :victory:
I'm gonna come back with the results! Thank you!!!

I had the same problem with my OP³ running stock OOS 3.2.7 locked bootloader and unrooted. The battery used to drain by 15-20% overnight and also got similar results while using the phone during the day.
Yesterday night i installed google now launcher. The drain came down to just 2% overnight. For the first time i could see "phone idle" in the battery stats instead of android system.
Will use the phone during the day and report back today.
I figured from wakelock detector that the oneplus launcher was keeping the system awake by creating a wakelock for its weather service in shelf even when the option was turned off. Hope this helps you too.

Yeah, i also have Oneplus launcher keeping CPU awake and last night i installed nova launcher. Now the oneplus launcher is not keeping the system awake anymore but in phone's battery stats there is still "Android System" consuming 7% (the most) with "CPU total - 1h 20m" and this process never stops!
I will keep it 1-2 more days to see if something happens and if not, i'm gonna wipe it.

You can try turning off most of the gestures just to try and isolate the problem. Also are you using any of the navigation buttons to turn off screen? Because that turns of the screen but the phone doesnt sleep properly like its locked. Try and let us know about your observation.

The problem persists even though i switched to Nova Launcher. There is still "OnePlus Launcher" in Wakeup triggers (woke up 70 times from 100% to 77%) but on the first place is "Google Play Services" with 88 times until now. Btw, "OnePlus Launcher" is #1 consumer in CPU wakelock.
