Hi!
I'm not a big fan of the stock LG lockscreen, as many others i've seen.
I have tried GOTO Lockscreen, it's nice and all, but there are some bugs that I experience on the O2x. I've looked at Widgetlocker, but some of the comments in marked is saying it's a battery drainer and I do NOT need more drainage on the O2x
Do any of you have a functional lockscreen recommendation ?
flash custom ROM with stock lockscreen.

If you take a look in the battery thread, you'll see I'd rather not.. until the drainage I experience on my O2x is fixed ..:-/ (Have not tried Fr8 and Fr10 yet, but my hands is itching ........)
I use my phone quite a lot in my work, and I need the batt. time I get from stock 10b.
Give it some time, the system needs couple of days to "get to know" the battery, it should improve after some time
As far as someone once said here...
Edit: if you insist on keeping the phone stock, install widget locker

Download Autokiller (put it in agressive mode) and download juicy defender
These 2 programs are great getting the battery to last more than a day without a problem!

Hate LG lockscreen too. I would like to change for android stock lockscreen but dont wanna use any custom roms.
What is called lg lockscreen apk ? Can i somehow change it for stock android lockscreen ? My phone is rooted.
Check out Paul's post "Stock Patch Pack - AOSP style lockscreen" on Modaco.
Sorry. Too new to post link.

??? Have 2-11mA drain in standby with Custom ROM and about 50 with stock so...
and btw much more speed and the Custom ROM is faster I think (feels mor smooth than stock).
50mA with stock ROM? Forget it. I have stock ROM and drain is from 1mA to 10mA.

Why don't you at least try it instead of making an opinion of what you have read about it? You lose nothing for trying it!

Have any of you guys experienced this? This stock LG app is eating all my battery after updating to gingerbread! And I haven't used it once. Never saw this before updating to gingerbread. Guess this gives me yet another reason to root and clean up the bloat-ware.

Seems to be a common problem, I experienced it myself on one of the leaks. The service restarted, found a problem and exited, got restarted etc. ad infinitum.
Agree, just root, and take a look at this post.
If you open dialer immeditely after the phone boots up, on screen phone starts to hog battery. So let the phone sit for a while, 10 minutes or so, and this doesn't happen. Same applies for camera, at least for me. Youtube app does the same regardless of when you open it, haven't found a solution for this one yet.
I had the same issue on V20L. So I removed OSP and the problem is solved.
i have some other doubts about this app and situation in general. if you see actual usage stats, that this app is not running at all (some sec of cpu time). what i noticed, after updating to v20l battery stats are total messed up. f i launch for exaple some other app jus after chargeing...thiss first app will always have 25-30% of battery usage in the end...even if i have used and than killed it seconds.
anyway, i will go for rooting and removin all those unnessesary aps.

I had the same issue however I would question the accuracy of the battery meter. Anyway. froze the OSP app and it doesn't show in stats anymore.

I had 2 days ago the same problem with the OSP. I fully charged the phone last evening and left it to discharge with wifi on over night. It would have consumed over 8h 10% max, however GB took 25%.
The odd part: this time it wasn't OSP consuming 50% of the drain anymore, but Gallery! wtf?
maybe stupid question..but what is OSP? :/
I'm having trouble with batterylife on my o2x..it drains in 4-5 hours of very little usage.
Thinking of rooting..but can I do that with Superoneclick? when I have 2.3

its an app pre-installed with the phone.
Thank you. So if I root I can freeze that app and save some battery? What other apps would you say I should freeze to improve batterylife?

I am on cm7.2RC and i love it so far. Its fast, smooth and works like a charm. But the only one thing i hate about it is that it has terrible battery life. Within 3-4 hours of complete charge my battery runs down to 20%. I could flash a different rom but i dont wanna do that because i'm loving this rc build, well besides the terrible battery life.
Please help.

All juice defender does is disable the wifi and 3g when not needed. I disable them manually from habit after use and because of that battery increase was 0.
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium
you can do the same thing in tasker or even more as in juicedefender. Tasker is also cheaper.
Agreed, juicedefender will only disable wifi and 3g connections.
Do it manually, without the need to install other app, and save your battery... One day with wifi disabled you hardly will use more than 10% of your battery (without gaming, just music)
Juice defender no doubt disables wifi and cellular data and ofcorse you can do it manually but it has the option of disabling wireless connections when the screen is off which saves a little more battery life. Get the free version, coz i used the Ultimate one and besides more manual options nothing else is different.

thanks in advance
Who knows....contact Maclaw.
He doesn't fix it so there is nothing you can do.

I guess it is a basic glitch of battery in CM9 Base itself. Devs are not to be blamed. Try to use something like droid wall to monitor apps which basically give a trick to you everyday and access net from your phone. If possible also try to use batteryextender xda edition from the XDA forums.
Lets see if these help your battery save.

For CM9, Just Flash OOM Priority Changer for battery life. Not that much effect though...
And, flash adrenaline engine for deep sleep
I don't really know if they work. but that's what some users say.

OOM Priority Changer doesn't have anything to do with battery. I think its for better Multitasking or switching apps.

Why would anyone want that? It'd be better just to go ahead and run over the phone with a bus. There's a reason the OC kernels got dialed back by devs. BTW it doesn't make the phone that much faster either. If you need 1.8 another phone is the way to go.

It strictly helps with lag IMO. I just like how my apps run smoothly and I can run multiple apps without the phone crashing & rebooting. Far as battery there is no app or tweaks that will help if you use 4.2. In fact I got rid of my battery apps as they all just eat memory and do things any user with common sense can do.
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
so did you determine that v6 supercharger is not necessary for our phones if using the latest version of NOS? i only ask because in your sig you used to have v6, but now it's just baked bean with nos.

Thanks ill try that. But by battery life, i meant like does nos make it even worse? Or does it not affect battery life at all? And i have found greenify and juice defender to help A LOT for saving battery.

Greenify is OK but your main battery culprit is Gnow/Maps. Technically Greenify is supposed to be able to hibernate Maps but that is useless as Gnow needs it quite a bit so it gets awaken a lot. I love Gnow and choose to live with that as I use mass transit and those features are needed. However if you don't, then disable Maps and that will increase your battery somewhat.
Far as Juice Defender and the like, they are a joke IMHO. I used Juice Defender for over a year (they haven't updated the app on over a year either) and just like a lot of them you only save battery if you let it disable data and Wifi when not in use. I don't really care for that and can turn those on and off at will myself. Trust me you will see these battery apps are all smoke & mirrors.
Far as NOS consumption of battery, seems to have no effect one way or another.
Hey Guys,
I have a big problem and I hope that you can help me.
My problem is about my battery life.
I can use my phone one day, 8 hours- 17 hours but after, my battery is dead.
I don't use a lots my phone just snapchat, twitter, facebook, google, sms...
Two mounth ago, I hold 2 day and my utilisation don't change.
I use greenify, ds battery saver but no result.
I'me really disappointed and I hope you can help me.
I hope my batterie is not dead because I don't want to buy a new battery on internet and my operator don't want to send me a new battery.
I have a samsung galaxy s advance (i9070) and I test lots rom (cm 10, cm 10.1, cm 10.2, cm 11, stock + kernel, etc...)

I haven't seen any notable difference in battery life on any 4.3 or 4.4 rom. Surfing the web over wifi and brightness set manually to medium i lost about 12-13% charge in 30 minutes.
Higher battery drain can be a placebo effect too. You installed a new rom and expect at least as good battery life as on stock, let's say. Then on your new rom you keep eye on the battery, waking your phone more often and checking the battery status and stats, thus draining the battery little more overall. I won't tell that's the case right now, it's just one possible reason people see their batteries dying sooner. Now i'm currently on fresh CM 10.1 (build 1117) and will find out if there is any difference in battery life compared to CM 11.
