Anyone getting really bad battery life like 6 hours on light use?

Hey Andy, Check to see if your battery is swelled up at all.. you can do a simple test by placing it on a flat surface (preferably table top) and try to spin it. If it does, there's some swelling in your battery and its causing it to deplete quickly. Along w/the other tweaks that are being mentioned to you, you can also purchase a new battery from VZW and test out the depletion for 30 days(returnable) and see if you get the same result.

no battery swollen also all the battery widgets are saying its in good shape

flashed last night around midnight...so far i've had the phone freeze on me twice and restart on its own 4 times. anybody know what's up with this or also experiencing this? i usually don't have problems with cyanogenmod

Did you wipe before you flashed? Are you running the stock kernel?

yes i wiped, i'm running chevy 1.25 kernel low voltage

Try running the 1.1 for a while. It's a big step down but if it's stable you could bump up to the 1.2 if the 1.1 wasn't fast enough.

Just a suggestion. It might not be the kernel after all, but it's worth eliminating as a culprit.

yeah i could try the 1.1, i don't really need it as fast as i have it. just did cuz it was available. do the p3droid kernels work for cm6? in rom manager it says for eclair only...

one other thing, is there a way to change the green color in the dialpad?

 

[furbearingmammal]

Never use an Eclair kernel in FroYo and vice versa.

P3Droid Kernels

I'm sure there's a way to change the color but I don't know it. Maybe a theme would help out?

This is an awesome rom people.
I have a couple of questions though.
First, When I plug my phone in to the computer my usb storage is automatically being turned on. How do I turn this off, as this has never happened before loading this rom.


Secondly, how do I set the screen to never timeout when on charge? I swear my phone used to do this, but I do not see anything for this now. Please help if you can.

To fix my poor battery life i wiped the phone 3 times reformated the phone in nandroid restarted battery stats now im getting 12+ hours of pretty mediumish heavy useage of internet twitter facebook texting...i did not talk on the phone during those 12 hours BTW

 

[Zander_206]

This ROM is amazing! I havent ran anything smoother .... wow is all im goin to say dancedroid

 

[yehgermeister]

When I try to go into CyanogenMod settings, it would force close on me.

Any Ideas? Sorry, I'm new to the rooting and changing ROMs.

You could try fixing permissions and if that didn't help ....Did you wipe data and cache when switching to CM? and also did you try to apply any kind of theme ?

Im gonna give this a shot now andrew149. Im on CM6 Final and I can squeeze 5-8 hrs outta my phone on any given day with heavy texting and little web browsing. But im looking for a 12 hr+ range with medium to heavy usage myself. Will report back in a day or so...

*edit: Sorry to be a noob but how would I go about "reformatting the phone in nandroid" or is that the same as 'wipe data/factory reset' and 'wipe cahce partition'??

CM6 is the most stable ROM I've used in many months. Bugless is a close second but without a release in the past 2 months, CM6 is more polished at this point.

Agreed, using this at least until 4.8 with FRG22D build comes out. Good work Koush
