**CM7 Build Thread**

Ugh.. guys I'm getting such horrible battery life, and I can't figure out why. I've wiped over and over and over again, tried every kernel. Damn I must be cursed I only get about 5 hours of standby. I have barely any apps installed and nothing is showing as using battery except "Android OS" which shows to be using "1h 15m 10s" CPU.

Maybe you need a new battery?

I would also say get a new battery, but not until figuring out why nothing aside from the OS is being recorded in the battery usage. You don't even get a slot for screen usage?

Anyone noticing that certain settings get reset alot? Every couple times I open up Google Maps, I have to tell it not to use Wifi, and to remember that choice. Seems that my ringtone notification for SMS gets reset to default from time to time. Just things seem kinda random. It happens days after I've flashed, not just immediately after, and it's been happening for what feels like months, I've just been dealing with it.

Don't buy a new battery yet... Sometimes I'll have a problem with one nightly, then not with the next... I had almost what you're experiencing about a week ago; no longer.

This is a brand new battery. Got it last week. So now I have two batteries, so I know that's not it. I actually just ordered a third battery just in case I never get this battery drain issue solved. Looks like I'll be carrying batteries in my pocket or something.. *sigh*

These battery drain issues have only been a problem for me since the libcore changes in Cyanogen... back in builds I think... 40? I was doing great! So before the CM7 Final I believe.

Oh sorry, I worded that wrong. Okay so in order:
Android OS - 69%
Display 27%
Cell standby 10%
Android System 2%
Google Services 2%

That's all that is listed. Nothing else. What I meant was, those are all OS things. Doesn't show any apps as using any battery. I went into spare parts and checked partial awake usage, and nothing really strikes as out of the ordinary. I see Android System at the top with 2 minutes wakelock. And dialer with 1s wakelock. That's it.

I am on a new battery right now, other battery is being charged, so I don't think the battery is the issue.

Too late. Haha. I have two batteries already, just ordered a third battery, and a spare battery charger. Dude I need my phone on, it can't die--I'm a CEO of a business, lol. It lasts maybe 8 hours standby, if I browse web or other stuff, it goes down even faster. I have 2 home screens, that's it. No running services besides LauncherPro and "Network Location" (which i guess is just Google Maps--but GPS is turned off so...). Had these battery problems since the libcore changes which was right around the time of CM7.0.0 final. I've tried everything, including wiping over and over and over again. I've also done TONS of full charge, wipe battery stats, full discharge, full charge, and it never helped.

does it actually die or just ask to be plugged in? i had a 5% charge last 12 hours before the battery stats corrected themselves

Oh wow. Yeah it does die. It doesn't last very long on 5%... lol.

Anyone having 3g problems? I have data but it's not green so no emails or notifications in like 8 hours.... tried restart connections and airplane mode with no results.

0vermind: which nightly are you one now? I am using 7.0.3 but at first was using deprimed and battery life was not so great, not as bad as yours, though. Anyways, I reflashed just the rom to get the stock kernel and am now getting 24+hrs again. I also use two-three batteries with the spare battery charger.

That port on the phone isn't really made to charge the battery, no, it's for hacking only! lol.
