S2U2 Vs Pocketshield - Page 4

One thing I've found with the TP2 is that the data connection stays on, which could be the reason your battery is draining. I never had that problem with my Mogul.

Whenever I know I won't be using my phone for a while I go into the Comm Manager and turn off the data connection.

Here is little update.. I wanted to give the new S2U2 a shot.. this morning I installed it again. After couple of hours later battery drain to 80 % i didnt even use the at all. Then about 5 hours later .. with couple of phone calls and 2 text message my battery went down to 50 % now that is so weird... That mean what they said on the website that the new update battery leak bug fixed .. I dont think its fixed cause the battery still leaking .. going to uninstall it now.. argghhhhhhhh I wish they do something about it ... if anyone knows anything how to fix in reg so my battery wont drain.. I would really appriciate it..

I have been using S2U2 and haven't had any battery drain like everyone else is describing.

I went from 100% to 70% yesterday with normal calls and texts. I like it, but I may just have to see what PS is like since everyone else likes it.

This is off S2U2's website under FAQ (http://s2u2.ac-s2.com):
Q. S2U2 consumes a lot of power?!
A. Make sure there is no music player running in the background.
A. Use digital clock without showing the second.
A. Don't use GIF wallpapers.
A. Don't use a folder of wallpapers.
A. Turn off "Show Appointment".
A. Turn off "Show Weather".
A. Turn on "Don't use Keyboard Hook".
A. Turn on "Ignore screen orientation"
A. If any "auto-rotation" application is installed, add "S2U2" to it's exception list.
A. Disconnect the data connection.
A. Update to v2.14 or later.

I've had a similar issue before with previous versions of S2U2. I've installed the new 2.14 version that GT2L posted at http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=88640

Download the cab from post #3. Give it a try, this has been working a lot better for me in regards to battery drain.

x2. As a new TP2 owner and someone that recently tried both apps this is the truth. I use S2U2 simply because it looks cleaner and seems more up-to-par with the look and feel of the TouchFLO3D interface. I have noticed the battery drain however. Fortunately I charge everywhere I am so there's never an issue.
