Battery x2 cyanogenmod7

[Gonzo79]

I'm eunnin cm7 and battery life has been good but just today its runnin down fast and same use as always. I didn't make any changes so if any one has any ideas. I have even. Been shuting off my wifi witch I usely don't. I did download a anti virues app but that shouldn't run my batt life down like this.

Get rid of the anti virus program, it isn't necessary. See if that helps your battery life. I'be noticed a detonate increase in battery drain too with CM7 and an extended battery, but its probably because its still a beta program and needs more work on the battery life aspect.

Why do you say the anti virus is unnecessary?

From what I've seen, and what Google has implemented, not many viruses make it onto our OS platforms. The only way I see possibly getting anything that could compromise the private data of your phone is if a sideloaded app that you would download would be infected.

I was told there were a few viruses for our phones. Wouldn't it just have to be a Linux virus anyways?

I'm not sure. It seems like way more phones over seas are getting hit with viruses than phones in the U.S.

I've noticed a fairly large difference in battery life on cm7 in the negative. Today I just noticed that when I plugged in my phone to the outlet, it jumped from 75% to 100% in less than 2 minutes.

I did do a battery callibration twice since I installed cm7... but battery life still sucks compared to the stock. I'll generally loose 20% in less than an hour with mild to no use. However, it's not enough for me to switch back to stock.
