LockInfo is 3.0 Ready.

Battery drain?

Are you guys on who are using the LockInfo beta version experiencing battery drain?

A couple of days ago my iPhone began to get really hot and blows through the battery in about 4 hours. I don't have many jailbroken apps installed (not that the issue is limited to that category), and LockInfo is the one I use most (and I really like what David has added with the status bar icons).

LockInfo might not be the issue, just asking if others are experiencing the same.

a week ago before I even had lockinfo the same thing happened to me. My phone was getting hot and the battery was burning much quicker than usual. I rebooted and everything went back to normal, been good since. Probably something set it off, I don't have many things installed.

Check all your plugins too and make sure you don't have them updating too often. I had my weather plugins updating every 10 minutes by mistake when I first installed them and that was consuming the battery quickly and was completely unnecessary. My battery has been great ever since I fixed that and seems the same as pre-JB.
 
Does anyone know what the updates were for today? There were like 3 but I cant find anything on his twitter, or anywhere else, that mentions what they did..

One of them uninstalled Lockinfo from my iPhone. Weird. :confused: All is good because I reinstalled it.
 
I like that the newest version of this added a status bar icon for silent mode. Just wish it matched the rest of the status bar icons...
 
Is there any decent themes anywhere for LI that doesn't require me to ssh into my phone that I can use with Winterboard?

Thanks inadvance.

That's exactly what the silent mode icon is - if you phone is on vibrate it shows the appropriate icon in the status bar.

So am I going bat**** insane or is there clearly nothing under all those plugins (except notifications) that will enable status bar icons? Because there isn't....

And before anyone asks this is a paid for version and it's the latest version (obviously).

Thank you, I was going batty as well. Will wait for the official release to get the rest of the status bar icons.

Ain't that just to show the phone is in silent mode, ie the manual toggle on the side of the phone not the vibrate toggle?
 
Found what an update did:

Adds a time to texts on lockscreen. Thats new right?
And yes, my mother called texted me.

the silent status icon will display a bell with a "/" infront of it, on the statusbar, to show that the phone is in mute.

I think its a good idea. Since sometimes I dont know if my phone is on mute or not unless I check for the "orange" on the toggle button on the side.

Thanks

I sent this to the developer on twitter but not sure if he saw it.

Was wondering how hard it may be to add number of days till each of the events listed on the calendar plugin? Just something to know how many days left till that event. Then for next day events instead of 1 day to next event say tomorrow?

Thanks David for the great app!!!
 
Does anyone know where the files for the status bar notifications are? Am I able to SSH in and change the icons to ones I prefer?

I'm absolutely having this, today and yesterday. It all started when I updated LI and WeatherIcon yesterday. Although I also uninstalled Rock at that point. I can watch the battery go down 5% just by using the phone for a few minutes. And it gets warm. I've been going nuts uninstalling stuff, but nothing helps. Checked plugins. Weather is set to every two hours. Nothing but LI and WeatherIcon have changed, I even reinstalled the now-crippled Rock, but no love.

I don't have any idea if it's LI (it could totally be some other dependency or it could be something I'm missing) but I think I'm going to send him my syslog. I'd been keeping one from the last time this happened (that time it turned out to be Insomnia, which I uninstalled).

Yeah I think it's a great idea but would like a vibrate icon as well, so when it's in vibrate mode I can tell.

Keep us updated. I don't have any hard #'s, only anecdotal evidence but my battery does seem to be dropping faster than usual, and while I can't point the finger at LI yet, I'd like to rule it out.
 
You should check how often all your LI plugins are getting updates. I had my weather plugins getting updates every 10 minutes (for no good reason) and it was killing my battery quickly. The battery is doing great now after changing that to less frequent updates.

That's what that icon is - it tells you if your phone is in vibrate mode. If your phone is one vibrate (you can see orange in the little toggle button above the volume buttons), you'll see the icon in the status bar. If you're talking about something else, please be more clear.

I've noticed faster battery drain since I updated Activator. I didn't update to the latest Beta for LI, but there was an Activator update that I did. Does LI have to have Activator to function? Because I only use LI to show the weather plugin, and don't need the tap to show forecast.

Activator is used in lockinfo to enable the info shade not tapping the weather for a pull down with more info.

Also for those of you experiencing battery drains, you can install sbsettings,go to more, mobile substrate addons and then you can disable certain addons and See which ones are causing your battery problems. Just be sure to reenable any addons before uninstalling them or else you might end up with some big problems.
