WM 6.5 lock program vs s2u2....
 

Whats everyones opinion on the two different programs. Anyone experience any better battery life with one over the other? If so has anyone tested this for a fact? How about customizing the 6.5 lock app like we can with the s2u2. Lets see who likes which better with best performance.

Oh and if anyone has any themes or clock packs for the 6.5 post em ;)

Thanks!!!

i could be wrong but i think only S2u2 takes away batter and... this is in wrong forums i think too

Well if anyone would like to relocate the thread feel free. I just put it here because i have the touch pro and figured these programs might affect the different devices batt differently

Re: WM 6.5 lock program vs s2u2....
 

I much prefer the 6.5 lock and can see significant increase in battery life vs S2U2. My only problem is I cannot seem to fiqure out how to autolock the 6.5 lock without having to use a password...... anybody?


btw dont worry about the placement of the thread, if a mod sees it and deternines it is placed wrong they will move it for you....

Moved to Main TP Forum

Hey OP im sure your other reason for this thread is to find out all the locking programs, soooo..... look in my Sig and you will have everyone that i could find in a pretty little list with details.

Re: WM 6.5 lock program vs s2u2....
 

I use s2u2 because of it's ability to show the calendar, next alarm info and text message previews on the screen

Re: WM 6.5 lock program vs s2u2....
 

Whether I'm running 6.1 or 6.5 PocketShield is my locking app of choice

Re: WM 6.5 lock program vs s2u2....
 

What exactly is the 6.5 locker? Is this finally a newer lock built into winmo? How does it work, and can it be used on 6.1?

Re: WM 6.5 lock program vs s2u2....
 

Yeah its the new slide to unlock app built into 6.5 , its nice.

Re: WM 6.5 lock program vs s2u2....
 

Smart man.

S2U2 is a battery Hog. One shouldn't rely on a locking program to display your calendars and all that. You have the today screen for that. Battery life is more important for ME.

Re: WM 6.5 lock program vs s2u2....
 

winmo 6.5 lock is my choice, uses less recources, better looking slide to answer than s2u2, center slider for lefties or righties, also i like the passwork key imput and the shortcuts to messaging, calls etc.

Re: WM 6.5 lock program vs s2u2....
 

I agree that the 6.5 lock is better and s2u2 kills battery life, but is there a way to have the wm6.5 lock auto lock when the screen shuts down?

I apologize profusely for desiring more options.
In this case, one shouldn't rely on the touch pro to do much more than make calls

Re: WM 6.5 lock program vs s2u2....
 

Well I did try to qualify my statement at the end by putting the ME in CAPS. Battery life is horrendous on the TP, so I try to do everything I can to conserve the battery.

By having S2U2 poll more items and notifications, it is using more resources and drains the battery faster. That is all. S2U2 is very popular. Hell, I used to use it. Once I tried pocketshield, I never turned back. It has a light sensor so if the phone is out of your pocket it automatically unlocks. You can change that option if you want. However, once you get used to it, you realize you don't need your locking screen to display all of the things that your today screen should display for you b/c you will rarely see it with the auto unlock feature via light sensor. There are other methods of unlocking as well.

I sound like a rep, but I'm not. I'm just please with how much less battery it takes. I took me about a week of testing to see how much battery S2U2 was actually draining. It was quite significant. With that said, my battery life still leaves a lot to desire.

Re: WM 6.5 lock program vs s2u2....
 

I feel as if I'm going to go back to pocketshield, for now. I bought a license a while ago but it stopped working in one of the updates, so I just moved on. I've been using the stock 6.5 lock screen. Looks great, has great functionality but it causes too many lock-ups for me currently.

Re: WM 6.5 lock program vs s2u2....
 

Tied it up.

I like the 6.5 lock very much, especially when compared to 6.1 lock (how bland!). I also decided the shortcut on the 6.5lock is enough for me, so S2U2 is a tad over my needs and takes away battery life on top of it. [Personal]

Re: WM 6.5 lock program vs s2u2....
 

WinMo 6.5 for me...

Re: WM 6.5 lock program vs s2u2....
 

I used to use pocketshield for a while then left it for s2u2

Re: WM 6.5 lock program vs s2u2....
 

no love for touchlockpro? unlock on light sensor, orientation, capacitive touches, stylus, keyboard slide plus tons of features and configuration options

Re: WM 6.5 lock program vs s2u2....
 

See I am just the opposite , I used s2u2 until I left it for PocketShield. But as of recently the 6.5 locker just seems so much more simple , less resource intensive , and lets face it its already there.........

Re: WM 6.5 lock program vs s2u2....
 

Its great but it doesnt seem to play well with the rhodium manila on juicy's rom. That, and it's not as instant as s2u2 otherwise i'd be all over it.

Re: WM 6.5 lock program vs s2u2....
 

Fair enough.

Re: WM 6.5 lock program vs s2u2....
 

So it seems that 6.5 is well worth the try, only thing I miss is the ability to customize... anyone know how to change the wallpaper on the 6.5 lock? how about the clock, to maybe the TP flip clock? or any clock for that matter....

Re: WM 6.5 lock program vs s2u2....
 

The wallpaper it uses is your today background wallpaper, I thought that was kinda cool. Dont know of a way to change the clock but like I said I wouldnt want to. The nice thing about the 6.5 lock is its simplicity , I wouldnt want to go complicating it....
