I've noticed the same thing (the idle and standby specifically), and I've been looking around to see if any headway in figuring out a workaround has been made. Honestly I don't think the life is any different, but the reports seem funky. Trying battery calibration from the market to see if a clean log will turn anything up. Will see, can only wait and hope for the best. Cvpcs and the rest have been busting ass to get this going, and I for one love them for it.Returner said:i never meant to seem unappreciative, i know it's beta, i was just simply wondering if it was just me.
I've been playing with CM7 for a few days now myself, and after a Battery Calibration and stuff too, I'm not convinced battery life itself is actually different. My bat stats are also reporting insanely high cell standby, but my phone doesn't really seem to be dying any more quickly (except for the fact that I've been playing with it constantly because I've been like SHINY CM7, I think my screen on time yesterday was like 3 hours and 45 minutes) but I'll keep up with it and report back again. I'm home for the summer and have no summer classes, so I haven't been using it at my university and it's hard to get an accurate picture of what I would get with normal daily mileage right now. I've also been mostly on wifi. Still, I've been fine making it through 12 hours. I just flashed it on my husband's phone as well (he wants to try it out) and he has the normal BH5X battery (I have the extended version) so we'll see how it plays with his.Krymsyn said:I've noticed the same thing (the idle and standby specifically), and I've been looking around to see if any headway in figuring out a workaround has been made.

Out of curiosity, what's your screen on time? I'm on apex atm until cvpcs get's the camera & video playback sorted, but not getting battery anything like that lolReturner said:i dont know i'm back on my Apex rc2 build and i'm at 25hrs average use with 40% left. on cm7 my batt was at 30% after 12 hours. i hope it's fixable :/. i miss cm7 already but i just can't justify leaving behind an extra 12hours of life
It's better to keep your phone plugged in than it is to run the battery life down. The more often you drain your battery to zero, the faster your battery will stop holding a charge.lilxman said:is that good for your battery's life in the long run?
Agreed. And I use your method of simply plugging it in whenever Im near a source which is often enough between home and the car. I can understand battery life is an issue for people who spend most of the day outdoors, but if you don't there is usually an electrical outlet or usb port around. From what I've read about the Li-ion batteries they cannot be "overcharged " or have memory issues so they can not be plugged in too much. And although it's reasonable to let it get down to zero once a month or so, it is harmful to do so repeatedly.echonaut said:It's better to keep your phone plugged in than it is to run the battery life down.

SSX is alright. I still prefer CM7 and riding the nightly train. It's a blast to see how things develop day by day. Battery life has been nothing but awesome for me on CM7 while running ultra low voltage, imoseyon tweaks, and the screen brightness settings in the previous post. Last night, I was at 51% after over 15 hours and 1 hour and 22 minutes of display time. If I didn't charge my phone due to needing a full charge today, I would've easily hit over 24 hours on one charge. Heck, stock didn't even do that for me.bafish said:My battery fix for cm7: SSX 2.0 by ChevyNo1

I'm not knocking SSX in any shape or form. It's a great ROM, much like APEX, Liberty, DSX, and others. To each their own, but recommending switching ROMs when someone is clearly asking for a battery fix for CM7 isn't a fix, it's a replacement.
