I actually just noticed that I am 10% down on battery and 23% of that was from WiFi. I have since turned it off, I may try to use 2x Battery with this (an app that turns on 3G and WiFi when the screens off).Anyone else running into an issue with WIFI eating up the battery? I'm connected to my work's wireless router today and with very light usage am already down to 70% in 4 hours with WIFI using most of the battery according to battery stats.
To make things even more strange, I seem to get better battery life at work (with comparable usage) on 3G rather than WIFI.
Interesting. This is what I did the first time. After I flash the rom, I tried to flash flash gapps and it said "E:Can't open /sdcard/gappsv5.1.zip (bad) Installtion aborted." Will need to download gapps again.Gapps is your market, gmail, etc. You need it.
I think you need to flash gapps right after flashing the rom (before you leave recovery).
That definitely indicates a bad download.Interesting. This is what I did the first time. After I flash the rom, I tried to flash flash gapps and it said "E:Can't open /sdcard/gappsv5.1.zip (bad) Installtion aborted." Will need to download gapps again.
I'm thinking the same thing. Going have to try again. ThanksThat definitely indicates a bad download.
I also changed the Keep WiFi on during sleep option to Only when plugged in.Anyone else running into an issue with WIFI eating up the battery?

Yea it does, but thats because of a hardware thing. Not fixable by software sadly.Alright, made it. *whew!* Thank guys. Now, I can just show off my phone to my fiancee's new Galaxy Nexus.
EDIT: But it suck that my Droid X doesn't come with "Beam" stuff like Nexus does.

It's a problem on all gingerbread 2nd-init ROMs. I know how to fix that, HDMI, and 1% increments, it'll just take a little while.I have recently started running the beta 3 build and it is pretty sweet. I had been running CM7 with a Froyo kernel and one thing that is driving me nuts is the solid green led while the battery is charging below 90% or so. After doing some searching it looks like this came along with the GB kernel.
Does anyone have a fix to turn that thing off?
I have tried using some apps like light flow but that has not worked. I use my phone as both a bedside alarm and in a car dock at night and that green light is eating my brain!
Help.
Awesome to see we could potentially get fixes for charge light, HDMI and 1% incremenets, that is just awesome!It's a problem on all gingerbread 2nd-init ROMs. I know how to fix that, HDMI, and 1% increments, it'll just take a little while.
