I'm running CM7.1 nightly 157.
I plug my phone into the charger at night, when I wake up the battery is around 80-90%
With Froyo the battery would stop charging at 100%, but then start charging again when the battery dropped below 95%, so I would have at least 95% (usually 100%) when I unplugged it in the morning.
CM7 is not doing this. It seems that the battery is charging to 100% then charging shuts off. Is this a CM7 thing, a kernel thing, or a Gingerbread thing?
More importantly, is there a fix to get Froyo-like charging behavior?
It was a very annoying Samsung Gingerbread JVx bug, but since CM7 doesnt use that firmware it shouldn't happen..
I'm on CM7.1 stable and it stays at 100, maybe just that nightly
I'm running muiu and do not have this issue

Seems to be a bug with Eugene's new kernel
Can someone tell me why CM7 is so good compared to other ROMs? For instance, MIUI?

Yea, I was thinking that after I posted this message. Sorry. And I just realized I can multi-quote so sorry again for spamming.
I dunno. I kinda like the other question better
CM7 isn't better than MIUI. It's just different. I've used both and prefer MIUI due to the customization options (theming), though I miss the lockscreen gestures from CM7 and the ability to get rid of that pesky voicemail notification.
To the OP, have you tried changing kernels? Perhaps Glitch, Bali or Neo Platypus?

Hey guys,
I'm no babby to installing beta software or flashing or any of this business. However, I'm just wondering if CM7 is ready for so-called "prime time" on the Atrix yet. I don't really care about the fingerprint sensor or webtop at all. Sans those two things how is everything else working on there these days? How is battery life and overall system stability?

From my experience its great. Battery life is identical to a blur rom, and performance is very good. Also no stability issues that I've seen.
It's my daily driver. Best experience on the Atrix yet for me. Battery life is great. I usually get through the whole day. now that it's merged it should just get better and better. I'd suggest it.

Just do it.... it's technically out of beta now.
Only things that don't work:
- Finger Print Scanner
- Webtop
- Horizontal HDMI Mirroring
- Dock Audio
As far as battery goes, that's pretty much subjective from user to user... also depends with kernel you decide to run... if you want good battery life on CM7, might want to try Faux's enhanced stock kernel & add some undervolting.
When you say, dock audio, does this just mean the audio cable that splits off of the power cable doesn't work? Does Bluetooth audio still works when it's the car dock?

This CM7 is pretty beastie so far. Great battery. Faux's 1.45ghz kernel. Stock I used to have to charge about 9pm @ 25%. Nowits still about 45%. Of course your mileage may vary......

Thanks guys. I went ahead and flashed it and loving it so far!
I'm glad you flashed it! I was really hesitant to leave the safe, stable world of deblurred roms and venture into fingerprint-scanner-less world of CM7. However, with it out of Beta I finally took the plunge and it opened up a whole new world to me. Now having taken the red pill, I can never go back.
CM7 is without a doubt the most powerful rom available. It is so good that it makes me hesitation regarding lack of fingerprint scanner silly.

thanks master of google
I flashed the new version and i dont know what is happening but mine is too slow to scroll apps, change screen, etc. Does anyone here is happening samething?
I'm using CM7 and am blown away by the speed,features, and how clean it is.
There naturally are quirks, as its still in beta. The only major issue I've had is lack of ability to control permissions.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I had similar issues. I think they're related to the cooked in ADW Launcher. I just replaced it with Launcher Pro, and my homescreen and app drawer scroll smoothly and quickly.
As much as I love CyanogenMod its a no go for me.
The only reason I use the Atrix 4G and consider it a superb smartphone is because on Webtop and Fingerprint Scanner. Whitout those two key things, I might have moved to something else like the SGS2.
Too bad those features are not priorities for CyanogenMod devs I presume.

Why don't you use Aura or Alien or any of the other custom ROMs that DO have those features? They're still way faster and leaner than the stock moto builds.
Hi guys does anyone know how to fix the massive battery drain. I have easy battery saver installed and power max but nothing seems to be making a difference. Please help! Also my phone keeps turning off randomly. Phones gone crazy since this update. If only I stuck with GB :-(

Do a data/factory reset, that will solve your problems, type *2767*3855# in the phone dialpad. Backup foto`s , files and stuff before that
It won't let me send the picture it says wrong file extension

Hi there,
If you go to Settings -> Battery - what does it list as using the most battery power?
Edit: You can downgrade to GB if a full factory format/reset doesn't work - you may be another unfortunate recipient of the Android OS wakelock bug.

Skip everything.
ICS sucks on battery life if you are using the stock ICS ROM.
I suggest you revert back to Ginger Bread or Get a new ROM developed by the Xda chefs in the android development section according to your preference.
THis will atleast extend your battery by 20% of the existing performance.
But if you prefer to stick on with ICS, then i suggest you upgade your battery to a higher capacity.
i.e 1900 mAh.

Switch to Cyanogenmod 9 nightly. You can underclock processor to 1000mhz. Battery works great then. Getting almost 1.5 days with moderate use. That's sufficient I guess. Cheers

try different rom and kernel. I have been using neat rom for few weeks, battery results are nearly the same as 2.36.
Is that c mod 9 an application or Rom

It's a lifestyle choice.
@Mzhaze3
My battery was suffering,not really bad but bad enough to notice it was worse than gb. I have since factory reset my phone (before i upgraded to ics without wiping data etc) and i have noticed major improvements! I am using the 1900 mh battery which helps as well. To sum up a factory reset helped me!
Nice pic btw! :thumbup:
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Well one things for sure the factory reset has made a huge difference. I used to use juice defender and battery still didn't last longer than 12 hours and that's on GB than once i updated to ICS battery only lasted 4 to 6 hours depending on use. Since the reset i have had a whopping 24 hours with moderate use. So i defo recommend it. Thank you gee and thanks everyone for your input x
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
I have major battery problems since ICS update also, (network free, unbranded sgs2) ...... am i right in thinking a simple factory reset could make my battery last three times longer.
Potentially, seems to have helped many so far! It did me!

How much screen time are you using? If you use all day, yes it will drain very fast, especially 3G/4G Data.
For me, I get at max of 3 hours of screen time, and amazing Deep Sleep when the screen is turned off. I am using HydrogenICS, with Thoravukk kernel.
If you're thinking of getting an extra battery, look up on Amazon or Ebay. Anker i9100 Battery. Good quality stuff.
So everyone who's been experiencing battery issues should factory reset?
What will the factory reset to since I have a custom ROM installed?

Do you know what we can do to see if I've been a victim / resolve this bug?
I can not read through all of the close to 10,000 posts in the CM9 thread. Can someone point me to a current list of issues /bugs with it?
(I know 4G does not work, but what else...?)
Thanks.
Really? They are listed in the first post, lazy

Thanks for the insult, but I am looking at the first post right now and I see no such list. I am talking about unofficial CM9.
Gaming is hit and miss, slightly laggy due to lack of proper 2d libs, stock camcorder app doesn't work (use video illusion), rotation bug that causes stuff to crash while rotating. That's about it.

Depends on who you ask. Some people say they have terrible battery life. My experience has been pretty good. I could always make it through a full day of moderate use. Havnt ran the latest version though so I'm not sure of battery past 6.1.

battery life without data on is about two to two and a half days.
as for bugs what's mentioned above is about all. a couple other randoms ones. nothing big though.

Hi there
I'm finding a solution for my battery drain when using 3g when i'm on the go.
I want to keep using the 3g because of uts speed. So no 2g involved..
Is there any way to improve battery life when using 3g? I turn it off when ibdont use it btw.
Im running RR3.0.8 + DorimanX kernel 5.78.
Kind regards

..Using RR 3.8 with (stock) Siyah and battery life (2 days of average usage) seems to be ok, and I never turn it off... so first of all, try to flash Siyah kernel, then try to flash some other MODEM for GS2 (working on JB!)

You are running a ROM that is based on CM10 and AOKP and a known bug is the RIL crash and/or RIL wakelocks (although not all people seem to have it). In your case it`s probably the wakelock that`s causing the problem. Only a hour ago or so Codeworkx anounced a new CM10 build that could fix this issue, so either switch to ICS for now or flash the newest experimental build from the CM10 thread if your battery life sucks.
Attention though. DorinmanX Kernel is not compatible with the newest CM10 builds and neither is the official Siyah kernel, so you can only use it with the Stock CM10 kernel.
Try and install BetterBatteryStats and leave your phone for a couple of hours with 3G on and look up if you have wakelocks and what`s causing it.
You can also install an App called "GetRil" and see if your current RIL and baseband match and if not you can install a matching one right from the App. I heard that helped some people with RIL problems.
