Help WidgetLocker Power Drainer

Any one else having the problem with WidgetLocker using up an exorbitant of power.

Yesterday I didn't touch my DX all day. I picked it up at 5 PM after 10 hours off the charger and was down to 20%. I was shocked, I did receive 5 gmail emails but that was the only thing the phone did all day. When I checked the battery info it said WidgetLocker had used 83% of the power used for the day. 83%! Needless to say, as much as I like the look of my customized lock screen, I deleted WidgetLocker immediately.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this power devouring issue.
 
I've been using widget locker for a long time, usually only shows about 2% battery usage. Did you have another widget placed on the lock screen that might have been using the power?
 
I've never had this problem with Widget Locker. My guess would also be that you have a widget there that is constantly updating. But then I may be making an Ass of myself for Assuming.
 
The only widget I had on my lock screen was SiMi clock/weather. And to my knowledge if SiMi clock would have been the one using the power it would have registered on the battery monitor list not WidgetLocker. Right?
 
Are you using the market version?

I have no ill effects from using Widgetlocker. Does not eat up battery whatsoever.

Have you used Spare Parts or anything to nail it down specifically? You may want to try emailing Kevin as well.
 
i also have no issues with WL.

maybe re-download it and see if it acts up again. then if it does, clear data/cache for the app and see if that helps at all. it should NOT be using up that much...thats rediculous.
