Ok, again maybe I'm expecting too much out of this but I have to ask. Even since I've been on CM7 I've had basically pretty bad battery life, IMO. I came from Liberty and Id say id be down around 60 or 50 percent battery by the end of the day. To the point where If I forgot to charge the phone I would be ok for another day. That is not possible on CM7 I have to charge everyday or it will not make it another day, it probably wouldn't make it through the morning.
Also just for info sake I'm actually running the Moto extended battery too, so keep that in mind.
Ever since I've been on CM7 I'm lucky to get 12 hours. I'm off the charger at around 8 and by the time I leave work I'm probably down to 60 percent, maybe.
I was off the charger at 10 on Sunday and by 9pm I was in the red at 15 percent with what I would consider moderate to normal use. This happens regularly.
Again if this is normal that that's fine, If I'm expecting too much, let me know. Though I've heard about people getting much better life out of their phones.
I know CM7 doesn't have the best battery life, but I had heard about the improvements with the patch on Froyo, the improvements that GB made and the jakebites mods.
I have tried all of these and I have not seen any improvement at all in battery life since I first flashed the ROM on Froyo.
At this point I'm starting to maybe suspect my battery, I don't know what else it could be. I've checked everything and I don't have anything running that is killing it, my biggest drain is of course the screen and I've even checked the settings for that to see if the brightness is way high and its not, its actually kinda low.
Again if this is normal then fine, but Id like to know. I like everything else about this ROM and I'm definitely not leaving it, but it would be nice to get more then a day, actually half a day, out of the phone without having to charge it. Not that I need that all the time but its nice have the extra life.
I just flashed the 26th nightly so we well see if somehow that helps but its 9:13 and Im already down to 90 percent so I doubt it.
