I'd never heard of nor used widgetlocker, and from looking at it on Market, not convinced it has enough downloads/reviews to be a root cause. On the Interwebs, someone posts something, it gets reposted everywhere, and one data point becomes commonly accepted truth.
Great, the OTA update messed up my phone.
I was a dummy and allowed it to try to install the update on my phone running HomeBase 4.2, now whenever I turn the phone on it loads up to the lock screen, shuts down, and tries to install the update on restart. The problem is that the update fails about 1/4th of the way through and just sits there with the picture of the robot with the warning sign above it forever (I left it for over 30 minutes and nothing happened.) and requires a battery pull to get out of. When you turn on the phone the process repeats itself.
Is there any way to fix this or should I just clear off the phone and reinstall the rom? Honestly it shouldn't take me more than an hour to get the phone back the way I had it before all this happened, but if there's another way to fix it I'd like to know.
You have to go into android recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik cache. Then you have to download the latest SBF file (which you can find in the photon xda forums) and install the update manually that way. You will lose root and unlock, but its fairly easy to get it back
Try pulling the battery out and starting up the phone again.. see if that helps.
I disabled Widget Locker and my battery issues went away.

I love widget locker
damn i love widget locker! lol ohwell ill try it out
I just did the update today (was waiting for an update to the root method I used) and use widgetlocker as well. I've read that it causes major battery drain but haven't noticed anythign as of yet. I would sadden me to have to uninstall it![]()
I spoke too soon![]()
For the first time in months, I saw that lovely little warning message saying my battery was at 15% and needed to be charged. I haven't seen that during the work day in a long time.
That sucks. But I did disable widgetlocker and my battery life is good now. It sucks because I love widgetlocker. Hopefully there's a fix for this.
