I'd love to believe that, but the same battery life exists with a clean install, no gapps, and with all radios even after calibration. So thanks, but no thanks. I've actually tested those scenarios, have you?

K thanks bye, goodnight, whatever.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
Have you tried matching the ril files to your radio? There's a thread in Development started by rmk where he posted a link to his automatcher zip that you flash through recovery. Its helped for me allthough he suggests that it may not work for CM7. Its definitely worth a shot. You can revert back easily by just flashing CM7 again if you don't like the results.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dekeijzer:
Then your battery is faulty or you are in avery spotty coverage zone/traveling a lot.

After full calibration (let battery die, wipe stats, charge fully while on, continue charing while off for about 30 mins, let battery die again) I get at least 24 hours with heavy usage.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
I don't think you understand, I've been doing this a long time.

This battery life is NOT present in sense or stock tmo roms. I know how completely unfathomable it must be to you, but I have actually tested everything i've said, once you do the same, and your do it right (a week with a different rom after calibration) place feel free to share your opinions. 24 hours of "heavy" usage in the stock battery... I don't think so, that or we have very differing definitions of what constitutes "heavy" usage.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] FallingEdge:
I have easily gotten over 24 hours with very light usage. To those having problems, follow the steps in this thread about the proper way to wipe the battery. I wiped battery stats wrong the first time and the phone would be dead in about 8 hours. After going though that thread, battery life has increased dramatically. Even got around 45 hours before I had to charge it again (mostly on standby, wanted to see how far I could push the battery, and I had to keep it going that long anyway because I was calibrating the battery).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheMan42:
Just came from GV 1.5 as the lack of support for the ROM tested my patience enough and man, I must say, this ROM is phenomenally better and I love it so much. Best of all, my battery is leagues better than it was on GV 1.5

Thanks team!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sinistersai4d4d:
Well 40 hours is a fantasy. I have used tons of kernels and have three high capacity batteries and never once made it past 20 hours. I average 9 hours moderate use or 6 hours HEAVY use. I can never leave my phone alone long enough to test standby or light use. But once I used 2G all day and got 16 hours. Not worth it. I just always keep spare battery in my wallet.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dorezen:
i assume everyone's talking about the stock (crappy) 1300mah battery when quoting usage time. battery life seems to be "normal" for me with cm7 rc4 despite having used an after market 1800mah battery. on an average day with light browsing and email, i'm at about 50% left after 12 hours being off the plug. i have read in the GV 1.5 forum that people claim cm7 uses up more battery but the 2 seem about same for me. if anything, rc4 seems to use less juice to run.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sinistersai4d4d:
Yeah I get nothing like that. I'm using high capacity. I have had several htc phones including 2 G2's bought at different times. Both get the same.. I think people getting 20+ hours are just light users. No matter what radio I use or rom I rarely get 12 hours. Fortunately I'm a human being. So I sleep almost 8 hours a day lol. That gives me plenty of time to charge a battery and a spare.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mylenthes:
My battery easily lasts 12 hours with about 30 percent left with what I consider normal use. I use my phone like 20 minutes total every hour for 12 hours and that's usually the battery life I get. I am using the stock battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] infamousjax:
Sorry pal but either you have a defective phone or you don't know how to test it right. I've done extensive battery testing with 4 G2's (friends) running on all different CM7 nightlies as well as the RC's. Let me ask you this... when the screen is off does your battery still decline quickly or does it just drain super-fast when the screen is on and not so much when it is off? I've been able to get 24 hours of medium usage regularly on all my test phones. Standby time is around 3 days.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Mylenthes:
Why is the scrolling so choppy in cm7. I just tryed sense and miui before coming back and I realized the scrolling is like waaay more smooth in those roms. Explain pl0x.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Json_81:
That's very poor battery time. Need to calibrate?

40 hours with moderate use sounds much though, my phone with original battery can make 40hrs+ but I would call the usage very light.

Moderate use around 20hrs for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Splink:
the battery life on this ROM is amazing, not sure what y'all are talking about

26.03.02.26M radio here

i've gotten 4 days 2 hours to 10% before AND i'm using the stock battery

hehehehe

Boot Loop after startup

Hi all,

I am getting a boot loop on cm7 rc4. I've done a wipe cache,dalvik etc but same thing every time. I can get into the phone but it more or less restarts almost immediately. Any ideas?

thanks

maybe if you actually turned off data and gps when you're not using it you'll get better battery life? it's how i do it ;)

although i do admit i mostly use my phone for calls and messages and some youtube-ing
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
If I wanted a phone just for youtube calls and messaging I'd have bought a blackberry.

I'm talking about battery life when actually using the phone.

Good lord people.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blk_jack:
This. It should go without saying that if you're shutting off key abilities of your phone that you should make note of that. OBVIOUSLY if you shut off data or hardly ever use your phone it will have better battery life.

The biggest problem I have with people spouting off their typical battery life is that the use is usually given a vague and meaningless definition that's subjective to each person. ie "moderate" use or "light" use. How about we see some battery life discussions that list how long the phone has been: 1) awake, 2) display active, 3) network/wifi active. I know that still wouldn't exactly be scientific but at least it would offer some useful context!

Once they fix the bug where you can't toggle wifi I'll be sold. Unfortunately keeping wifi on while I'm at work is a bit of a battery drain if I can't use it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ngc604:
I toggle my wifi all day long. Maybe you need to read about what to do about wifi before posting.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Bloodlvst:
I read about the boot loop thing. I didn't realize pulling the battery out meant you could toggle after that, since all the posts I searched never added that afterwards.

Maybe instead of being a **** you could've helped and instead of assuming I didn't search before I posted.

But thanks regardless, seems to work great now.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dayzee:
Here are my tips for getting GPS working - try one or all before you give up. Not guaranteed but all worth a try...

1 - Wipes - I wiped Dalvik, Cache and Data (Factory reset) - first time I tried the rom, I used Rom Manager, just did the data and cache it flashes up. Ended up with lots of boot loopy upset. LOL

2 - Flashing new radio - didn't do this first time - lots of suggestions that it might fix my initial lack of GPS, so I tried it, but it didn't help.... HOWEVER after trying a few other things, I did this again and it DID THE TRICK!! so worth reflashing radio after trying each thing...

3 - Fix Permissions - I did this, initially didn't bring the GPS back, but I do think it was key to solving things. Coupled with the radio reflash, I think this probably was my answer anyway

4 - FORMAT SYSTEM as well as the wipes. I didnt know this existed (I know, Duh, right!!) but it does - in mounts and storage. along with a whole load of other format options. All worth a go to get the cleanest install you can and avoid or fix any buggy issues. This bit I didn't do, because I got wifi back after fix permissions and re reflashing the latest radio, but I was gonna do it next. :)

Best of luck - its obviously a cracking ROM and its sooo frustrating when you get little glitches stopping you from having a fullworking ROM experience.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BBOOZE:
Two issues:

I seem to have T-Mobile's Wifi Calling app sucking away a lot of my battery life and even though I have not enabled it. I can't even Force Stop that darn thing. Any workarounds?

Also, I've had this issue with all RCs of this ROM....oftentimes my network reception indicator and internet connection are greyed out instead of green. So they are they but they are grey and they don't have the small "x" there to tell you you're not connected. I can still surf the 'net no problem but some apps report "no network connection". Only way I've been able to fix this is to hop into airplane mode and then right back out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nmadd:
Man, there's an app for everything nowadays.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
there's a Wife Calling app? lol i've said it before and ill say it again, what will they think of next?

on the second thing

settings>accounts & sync>background data

you will go back to green when connected and apps should work that require background data.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:
Just checking if anyone has this same issue:

On a fresh install, under Network, everything is pretty much as it should be. Wifi works fine and my data connection using the cellular connection is solid.

If I enable WiFi Calling, it connects fine and operates as it should, but from that point forward my WiFi and data connections will always be "buggy". I notice that "Use only G2 Networks" is constantly checked (I can uncheck it, but once I go back to the Mobile Network settings it will be checked).

If I do not enable WiFi calling after a flash, everything works swimmingly.

EDIT: I can not replicate this in the nightlys, so will update.

just a few posts above:

edit: don't run CM yet so i can't tell how bad it actually is, but rather sounds like a non-issue to me as i usually pull the notification down all the way manually, pretty much only now discovered that there is a menu->notifications :P

Thanks

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JamesB009:
Thnx for the final version! Got a few questions..

Is the GPS fixed in this rom or should we fix this manually?

Is the bluetooth bug fixed, which I cant pair with any bluetooth devices?

And, should I do a wipe before installing, or can I do a nandroid backup and install the final version over RC4?

Sorry for this noob question, but this is the first time I need an upgrade, lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pickx:
Waiting for status bar issues fix as they made me roll back from 38 (or was it 37 when the Tablet Fixes were merged into the main ROM? Anyway I rolled my eyes when they released a final so soon after said merger, I'm sure other bugs were introduced.)

Also not pleased with CM devs deciding to quietly activate 'anonymous' reporting by default in recent nightlies, so that my stats are sent before I have a say in the matter (unless I go out of my way to disable Data/WiFi at first boot).

Edit: after doing some more reading it seems 7.0 release is not the CM7 final but merely an RC (actually they are still planning some feature updates) oops, lol

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sinistersai4d4d:
No. It's a final. The labels are pretty arbitrary. It's based on when the devs are confident enough to remove the RC label. Just like CM 6 was final and they still updated it to 6.1.1. They will def continue to update 7 once or twice, but this is still considered a final release to them. Even stock Gingerbread has been updated a few times.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sinistersai4d4d:
I just flashed CM7.0 coming from RC4. I wiped when I went from CM6.1.1 to RC4, I DID NOT wipe when I went from RC4 to CM7.0.

Everything seems to be working fine (and even a little faster) Haven't had any force closes on LauncherPro, GPS and '4g' works fine. As does the camera etc.

This is what the Android experience should be like for all phones.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] racing_md:
Has anyone else experienced lockscreen toggle issues? This issue has persisted through the later nightlys ( I believe I started on #32) and unfortunately is present on the final. I have the toggle present on the notification power widget. When I initially boot the the phone it seems to work fine. I have a pattern lock that I activate when I leave the house, office etc. After about an hour or so the toggle stops functioning and the only way I can get my lockscreen back is to reboot. Can anyone else reproduce?

On a related note, it seems the keylock function on tasker no longer seems to work at all (whether the phone is newly rebooted or not). I know that some tasker functionality has been lost in gingerbread and it seems that is has been broken as well. I had profiles that would toggle off the keylock when I entered the car and connected to its bluetooth and toggle it back on once I left the car and the bluetooth connection was dropped. Again I did this for security so that I would never be out in public with an unlocked phone and wouldn't have to fiddle with the pattern lock when I was docked in the car. It worked beautifully on cm 6.1.1

Any input or insight would be greatly appreciated
