It's definitely cuz of the rom. All sense based roms I have used I get significantly more battery life and that's saying something. I still get great battery life with cm7 in general but there is some sort of inherent flaw with the battery.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] reuuin88:
getting 10-15+ hours on the stock battery...that's exactly what I was getting on sense based Roms a few weeks ago. Great rom slayher keep up the good work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] n0thing2bdone:
anyone actually using the phone won't be getting much more than 8 hours. when you see these 1d20hr screenshots, they always show a perfectly flat line, which means all drain was from standby.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cj1896:
Posted this in the bug fix section but since it is a running topic here I thought I would transpose it:

So I found something with the Cell Standby battery drain issue. I use Groove IP for free VOIP calls during work hours. When I have it engaged it drains a lot of cell standby, when not it doesn't. I imagine there maybe something set with the internet calling features (under call settings) or the people that are using it are also using google voice. I haven't tested any further but just my 2 cents.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bobby janow:
?? Do you believe it's "definitely cuz of the rom" or an "inherent flaw with the battery"? Not sure I get what you're going for here. Nonetheless, I think it's probably the network causing the drain and the fact we're not giving it time to settle in. I started this the morning of the 1.2 release and have travelled to two different 4G locations. One sucked my battery dry and the other, older 4G network, (possibly more stable?) got me to 42% yesterday with 15 hours off the charger. Same use? Well not totally but pretty similar.

As for sense roms, the only way I could get 15 hours is to turn the phone off. But that's just me, ymmv. BTW, I'm stock everything except for setcpu with a charging profile that is OC to 1.2 or something like that. I always said that once this rom handed off 4G I'm sticking with it. I'm now sticking with it along with CM7 on my DI.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] coolingout:
I get significantly better battery life on CM7 than I do on BAMF 3.0. I don't fool with any of the settings that most people do.

I will say that in CM7 if I turn on the mod to have battery percentage show constantly, I loose battery power fast.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
that is an interesting observation. are you sure that checking the box for battery percentage is causing drain?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chimpsnest:
Aw neat! Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mojonation1487:
not true at all.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mojonation1487:
i meant inherent flaw with how the battery is used in cm7
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mojonation1487:
i'll agree with sense 3.0. forgot about that.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] crackedvenom2:
Finally got off sense and am loving this rom. I hear a lot of bad things about the camera though. Can i get some reccomendations on that?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mojonation1487:
everything works fine on my end. Except for the settings pop up landscape regardless of orientation.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
its hard to click the button to switch between ffc and bfc in portrait.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bobby janow:
Ahh.. I see what you mean now although I disagree. I could certainly wrap my head around the inherent flaw with the battery in general, however.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mojonation1487:
yeah I got an extended battery. With sense based roms I got 2-3 days no problem. With cm7 I get a 1-2 days on average. usually more towards one day. Just to test I switched back to bamf and got it going for a solid 34 hours first charge. second charge I was up to 49 hours. So there's something off with the rom IMO.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bobby janow:
Or perhaps something different in the programs you have running. It's just that the majority of people, myself included, have seen exactly the opposite. Switch CM7 and Bamf in your above statement and you would have my experience exactly.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Morkai Almandragon:
I still wonder, of those having very bad battery life, are we all using a BT device? Also, I wonder about the batter % indicator that was brought up earlier. Is it polling too much?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] joshnichols189:
Yes, slayher is leaving not because he just added a member to his family but because two people having a gmail issue asked about it in the thread of the rom they were experiencing the issue on.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kerms:
I have the official MR2 radio and just wiped/flashed CM7. Previously was working with other GB sense based roms, but can't get any signal now. Any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
Seems as if you don't have the MR2 version of CM7 loaded? That's the only way I can think you wouldn't have signal.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] macdanif:
Yay for more drama. I'll go get a box of tissues.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Morkai Almandragon:
Did I miss a major announcement when Slayher said he was leaving?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] crackedvenom2:
Are you kidding me? Like he reads every comment and 2 about gmail is what set him off?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ls1norcal:
Successfully running on CM7 now. Thanks for the help! No issues so far!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Chris Hansen:
I use my Bluetooth extremely rarely. No % indicator on for me either. I went from 29+ hours on BAMF to around 15-16 on this ROM. I used my phone twice last night for two quick texts, and from 6pm-12am, I lost over 40% battery. Going to attempt logging today.

I was being sarcastic because someone wanted to ***** and moan about two people asking a question.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] joshnichols189:
Try formatting /system while in clockwork recovery
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jacobk:
everyone else might know this but you format /system you have to go into the mounts & storage menu in CWR. it took me a minute to figure out how to do that
[Thunderbolt Android Development] macdanif:
All sarcasm must be followed by 'LOL'. Compliance with all drama related rules is mandatory.

That is all
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
its people like you trying to tell others what to do, what rules to follow, whats mandatory and whats not that are DESTROYING THE ENTIRE ANDROID COMMUNITY like some sort of satanic clone of Steve Jobs pushing his control freak totalitarian agenda through xda...

/sarcasm (is how i'd denote it)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] t-heineken:
Sadly....this didn't work either :(

I've come to the realization I'll never get my gmail automatically syncing on CM7...

...and definitely not trying to mis-use this thread. I've searched in this thread, XDA, other android/thunderbolt forums and haven't found anything specific to my issue, much less on a different rom. So as many others have asked questions regarding their issues specific to this rom in this thread, so too did I.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Morkai Almandragon:
Sarcasm like this will just end with more fighting. We both know damned well people do not read whole threads and so will never make it to the bottom where you name your post for the sarcastic crap post it is. I really wish people like you would just think before you post, and maybe just only post when yuo have something positive to add rather than the drivel you just posted

screw denoting it, if it was not obvious I was kidding, well

..|.,
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
its elitists like you who think the common person won't read to the bottom of the post who...

are probably right.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
btw RE: battery life...

I uninstalled fancy widget pro (cuz my network location is wrong anyway and removing the widget still let the background process run),

replaced ESET mobile security with seek droid

removed titanium backup from autostarts (current widget said it was drawing a lot in the background)

Unchecked the show battery in toolbar

Charged up to 100%, 1 hour later im still at 100% - i know it may take time for the battery to update itself and its not scientific but one of those steps definitely is stopping the drain issues. going to switch over to 4g from wifi and see what happens....
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
use titanium backup to wipe data for the app. restart. make sure syncing is checked and that u have a data connection - wait for the sync.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] madzozs:
Welp, today is the worst battery day for me so far.

At 53% right now after 5 hours, 30 minutes and 15 seconds. Only widgets running are SimiClock, Beautiful Widgets and Simi Folder. Not sure why it drained so fast today.....

...Oh wait I remember. Because today was the first time I was able to use a 4G signal and had no WiFi to connect to at the shop I was in. So what am I going to do with 4 hours of sitting/laying down and a 20mb download connection? I'm gonna **** around on my phone for the entire time. So 4 hours of very heavy use(games, internet, texts, email, games, and some videos). Couple that with turning 4g on to scan while I drove there, and left it on as I came home to see where it cut out.

I'm loving cm7, and I love that 4g.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ddarvish:
the first couple days i ran cm7 everything was good but the past few days i have major battery drain. and android system is the culprit according to battery monitor but i have no idea which part of the system is keeping the phone working and awake
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raphytaffy:
Alright, I've just experienced a new bug that I don't think anyone's mentioned yet. Set my phone to vibrate at work and a couple hours later, it began to vibrate nonstop. Unlocked my phone to see if I was getting a call or text or something, but nothing. Wouldn't stop vibrating no matter what I did. I guess this would be useful if I was a girl, but I have no use for a constantly vibrating phone. Only a reboot made it stop, but a couple hours later it happened again. The only thing I've changed on my phone since yesterday was I've added a number to my blacklist. Anyone else experiencing something similar?

Also, completely unrelated to the ROM, but I still can't get the Multi-Quote feature of this forum to work. Does it not work with Chrome?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
do u have the battery showing percentage?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] barcodelinux:
You are not alone. Mine is doing the same thing but with an audible ringtone. This behavior can be duplicated by doing the following:

Have a phone number (not in your contact list) call your phone.

Go into the call log and find the number

Long press on that number and go to "Add to Blacklist".

Go back to your home screen.

Have that same number call you again.

This time, the phone will give no visual indication that there is an incoming phone call but will sound the audible ringtone. The only way to silence the ringtone is by long pressing the volume down on the rocker switch.

This is annoying because there is no way to answer or reject the incoming call. I asked slayher about the last night on twitter. I will report back when I hear something from him.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] raphytaffy:
Thanks buddy. At least I know I can long press vol down rather than reboot.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rafaelvelasquez2:
Is there anyway to make netflix not so choppy on here? That's the only thing keeping me from using this as a daily driver.

I'm a city employee. So as u can guess, I have a lot of free time and watch netflix a lot. The sense ROMS play fine. But no matter how long I let it play and wait for it to buffer, netflix is continuously choppy on this Rom for me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] sundar2012:
our tax dollars hard at work i see...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] irvine32:
Rafael, there is a fix I believe on pages 723-725 of this thread however even doing that it's never been quite as smooth for me as the BAMF 3.0 I was on. Either way I know Slayher will work it out for us in the end we just have to be patient. Hope that helps.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Eddog4DROID:
I'm watching Netflix from CM7 1.2 as I type. There is a choppiness problem? News to me.

edit: I suppose when the camera pans, that may be the only time I notice it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] irvine32:
I don't know that in my case choppiness is the right word. Prior to me doing the SU changes it almost seemed like the some parts of Nextflix were sped up by 1.5x and then it would slow down. Now that I have done that SU change I see it is more consistent but still a bit pixelated at times. Either way, no big because other than that this ROM is everything I need.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rotarydial:
Possibly a CAPTCHA issue? I seem to have unlocked google CAPTCHA requests a few times in the past.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scriz:
It looks to me like Netflix is displaying in 240p instead of 480 or 720 like it should. Its VERY LOW quality on CM7 1.2.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Ovrclck:
Yep, that's what I'm experiencing, choppiness is probably due to low quality.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
Have you guys tried that 720p/1080 version of netflix? I heard that works on the TBolt but can't confirm as I haven't tried it yet.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tu3218:
where can this be found? Never heard of it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
Netflix 1080 output...again not sure if it works or not on our device but I thought I read someone got it working. Worth a shot.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] irvine32:
:cool: Anyone?

Edit: Downloaded the 3rd one from the bottom of the 8apk's listed there and it's working possibly just a bit better. I do like the auto rotate though.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rommer2:
Just downloaded and testing fine for me. Very smooth.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pcm2a:
Love CM7 and it is running great, great job devs. I have 4 questions:

1. When I restored with MyBackup it could not update any of the Market links. So now in the market I won't get updates when new versions come out. Any ideas? I tried restoring twice, happened both times. I am logged in with my one and only market/gmail account.

2. Camera app is terrible, has anyone replaced that app with some different one that shows the camera full screen?

3. Not a fan of the gallery app, has anyone replaced that with something else?

4. MMS app. I think it's fine but my wife likes the "bubble" chat that you see on a Motorola or Samsung phone. Any ideas for that?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
Sweet maybe I should give it a shot!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
1. Trying clearing data from the market app

2. You can use the MIUI camera apk

3. I believe the MIUI gallery also works (extract both from a MIUI ROM

4. Handcent SMS allows for different style themes for texts
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pcm2a:
1. Trying clearing data from the market app

- The option to clear defaults is grayed out, how to enable it?

- I tried the clear cache, did nothing

2. You can use the MIUI camera apk

- Fails to install, not sure why, will keep trying.

3. I believe the MIUI gallery also works (extract both from a MIUI ROM

- Works great

4. Handcent SMS allows for different style themes for texts

- Works great
[Thunderbolt Android Development] minazaki:
Didn't get many responses here. Had the exact same behavior and graph today. Really bugging me.

I have a theory... Work wireless APs are G and at home I run N. What are the chances this is causing the drastic difference in battery drain?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
1. Open the market app on phone browse around a few screens then go back and try to clear data (not defaults).

2. You have to download it and move it to /system/app and make the permissions match the other system apps then reboot I believe. To do this use Root Explorer and navigate to /system/app and select Mount R/W at the top right. Scroll to the MIUICamera.apk and long press on it. Choose Edit Permissions and the top line should have the first 2 boxes checked. The next two lines below should only have the first box checked. Hit ok and when you go back you should see rw-r--r-- under the apk.

3. awesome!

4. awesome!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rafaelvelasquez2:
Well I flashed back to cm7 just now and tried the new Netflix 1080 apk .... its still choppy as hell. I think Netflix just wasn't meant to be flawless on aosp roms.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CBMC:
Strange. It is running pretty good on mine. Though, it ran slightly better on sense. I am overclocked to 1.4, don't know if that could make a difference? Out of curiosity, when you say jerky, do you mean slight video blur in high movement scenes? Or, do you mean stopping and starting type jerky?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] joshnichols189:
Works perfectly fine on mine..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Robertjm:
That's a pretty big blanket statement. I've been running Netflix on my Nook Color, running CM7 nightlies for a few months now, and I'm not noticing any issues.

Of course the difference is that this is on wifi and not on 4g LTE.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rafaelvelasquez2:
Video blur in high movement scenes. Almost like someone is pressing fast forward x1.5. Or pressing play and pause hyper fast.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rafaelvelasquez2:
I'm talking about on the thunderbolt....not a nook.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dieselhomey:
Hi All,

new to the thunderbolt world, not to CM7... can we flash the latest GAPPS?

also I read a couple days ago someone posted the gtalk video update apk.

Can someone provide the two link or point me to the right direction?

root the thunderbolt for the first time here so wish me luck...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rommer2:
Works smooth as butter for me. Please don't make blanket statements like that when it isn't true!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CBMC:
Mine has slight video blur, but nowhere near what you have. I did just compare the cm7 fascinate netflix with the thunderbolt netflix and it is no competition. The cm7 fascinate runs netflix way better (much smoother), yet runs most everything else worse.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
Yes you can install the latest gapps but that doesn't have gtalk with video I believe. Get it from ROM Manager it's the easiest way.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rafaelvelasquez2:
Dude. I ain't blanketing anything. Just explaining my experience.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dieselhomey:
I found this in the ROM/Kernal thread...

Cyanogenmod 7

The infamous AOSP based ROM. Currently in testing releases to find and fix bugs. Separate releases available for both Froyo MR1 and Gingerbread/Froyo MR2+ radios.

Developers: Cyanogenmod Team

Latest Release: 7.1.0-RC1.2 (7/6/11)

How To Get 4G To Work

BTW whats the different between MR1 and MR2?

I see two seperate builds.

Also what do you guy's suggest for the best Kernal combo with CM7?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jimnutt:
Battery Life

Ok, I have a thought on the battery life subject. It seems some are getting great battery life, some awful. We need to tie down a few common denominators.

I'm getting great battery life on WiFi and lousy battery life on 3g. I'm not in a 4g area, so I can't say how that's affecting the battery, but my guess is that it would be better. Is it possible that those with poor battery life are all in 3g only areas?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scriz:
I've tried 6 of the 8 netflix 1080p apps and they all seem to be the same, its not "as" choppy, runs pretty smooth, but the audio is out of sync.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
Don't bother with MR1 because Slayher said since the MR2 OTA was released MR1 version probably will be falling off soon. Download the MR2 version and the MR2 radio. Also I'm running the stock kernel it seems pretty good so far!

4G actually drains the battery even faster than 3G does.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dieselhomey:
how do you know if you have mr1 or mr2?

my phone just came in today and baseband right now is 1.16.00.0402w_1

should i do the OTA updates and all and then load up CM7?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
You have MR1 right now. If I were you I would download (via the phone) the MR2 OTA radio image and rename it to PG05IMG.zip and place it on the root of your SD card. Then download the MR2 CM7 RC1.2 and the latest GAPPS and leave it where it downloads. Then boot into recovery and make a backup of your current ROM. Then wipe /data, /system, /cache, /dalvik-cache and then install the CM7 file you downloaded. You can then install the latest GAPPS. Reboot the phone and once it boots you will have no signal at all. Boot into bootloader and allow it to enter fastboot and it will update to the MR2 OTA radio file automatically. Once that is done reboot the phone and you should be done and all set to start installing your apps.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arkshel:
Same, unfortunately there is no fix atm, chmod 000 is no help.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chimpsnest:
I followed your advice and went w/this one - working great on my TBolt.

Is it a no-brainer that it works best on wifi? When on 3G or 4G it's struggling to load (this is my first rodeo w/Netflix, so I'm not sure if that's normal).

Thanks,

Me
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
One would assume that 4G should be smoother than most WiFi as 4G seems faster than a lot of peoples WiFi. Netflix is what it is though I haven't had issues with my version but then again I don't expect much for quick viewing on a mobile phone.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rommer2:
Wow, my tbolt must be broken then. Audio sync is perfect with the 1080p version of NetFlix.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arkshel:
I was refering to the choppiness
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scriz:
Are you using a different kernel? Or are you overclocking?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arkshel:
2.6.35.13-imoseyon-3.3.4AOSP, not overclocking
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scriz:
k gonna try that kernel.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arkshel:
I just update to imoseyen latest kernal and no change.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rafaelvelasquez2:
I was about 2 try it as well...thanks 4 the heads up. Mines still choppy regardless of the kernal I use.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scriz:
Same. No change..audio still out of sync.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dieselhomey:
YES rooted! with CM7... almost everything works... I even loaded the evolv fonts from my incredible...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
So my directions made sense I'm guessing? lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CBMC:
How much out of sync? Mine is sometimes a little out of sync, but usually corrects itself. If netflix is really important I would wipe/reflash cm7. Then, install netflix before anything else. Maybe something on your system is causing netflix to lag. Obviously, make a backup so you can restore. It seems like people are all over the board with their success with netflix. Like I said earlier, mine isn't as good on this rom as on sense or on my fascinate's cm7, but is perfectly acceptable on such a small screen. Mine just seems like maybe the frame rate is a bit off causing some motion blur during fast moving scenes.

If you do wipe, let me know if it fixes the problem.
