Also, I've read it doesn't play very nicely with S2A and causes the phone to lock up during calls. Housinit, are you using it with v1.7 of KK's rom? What version of s2u2 are you using? Have you experienced any lag or freezes?

Yeah, well S2U2 is a memory hog. It uses 2563kb in the process list. But it's CPU time is 0%, so thats where I would assume most power consumption would happen. I could be wrong. Yeah, I have S2U2 installed on KKs 1.7, running version 1.45. I always load S2U2 on all ROMs. Its usually the first thing I install and I have been running it since I had my PPC6700.
When I first setup S2u2 on my Touch Pro with S2A installed I did have issues. This was because I set it up the same way I was always used to and enabled the Caller ID and Slide to answer in S2U2. This conflicted with S2A. So now the only thing I have enabled on S2U2 is the screen lock, nothing else. So when a call comes in S2A handles that and S2U2 is completely byp*****. I do not have any lag having S2U2 enabled, at least not any that I have noticed. If there is any, it is negligible. You definitely have to install it on the internal memory, not the SD card, or else you will have lag and lock ups.
The reason I get better battery with it turned on is because if I don't, I am always pulling my phone out of my pocket and it is on for some reason. With S2U2, no matter what, it is always off. I have S2U2 set to turn off the device after 5 seconds if it comes on on its own. This alone helps battery life tremendously. Otherwise, the phone take 60 seconds to turn off. Catch my drift?
BTW, I may have been exaggerating a bit when I said 24 and 36 hours. I normally get about 24-30 hours on my TP with S2U2 installed. Without it, more like 16-18. Still, quite a bit of an increase. This fact has been discussed on other threads about S2U2, so it is not just my imagination.
