Cool, I use the 2150 so I already get a full day on stock. Just wondering if I would be able to get rid of this hunchback battery if I switched roms. I'll keep running it with Wifi only my other Inc for a few more days before I decide.

Something is draining my battery today.....grrrrrr

My battery life has been very predictable, very stable, and very good. Do you use Facebook? I do, and I found having notifications turned on and being signed in to chat make a HUGE difference. The notifications worked so hit and miss I turned them off all together, and of course signed out of chat.

Have you tried seeing what process are running?

Has anyone tried to same a scene using SR4?

My biggest annoyance with this ROM so far was when I lent my phone to my brother, who, having never played with an android phone before, dug into menus to see what the phone was hiding. One of the first things he did was changed the scene to see the different prepackaged looks. When he gave the phone back, I realized that I hadn't saved "my scene" and would have to rebuild it. Then, to my surprise, I couldn't find a way to save any scene, meaning that it was really easy to change to a standard scene and really annoying to get back to your set up if you accidentally did.

So when you go back to "Skyraider Scene" on the list it doesn't revert back? Is it possible your brother did more than just change scene's? Do you have alternate launcher's installed like Launcher Pro or ADW?

I hate to say it but best case scenario is to revert back to a nandroid.. I make a new nandroid and delete the old one every 4 or 5 days... so if I do ever run into any issues, i can just run the back up and not worry... Sorry that this happened to you man... I have been digging around into the menus too and havent' been able to find a way to save your current scene... if I come up with a solution I will let you all know :)

I actually did revert back to my nandroid. Then, after a few days, I just reverted back to CM7. It's a nice rom, though, and I may come back for another spin later. I just wanted to throw this out there so no one else tried to change scenes to see what they looked like. :p

Hey, let me ask you SkyRaider folks a question. Do any of you stream music during the day, and if so, do you notice a severe lag when using Gmail (or any email) while music is playing?

I do stream music but haven't noticed a lag. What are you streaming it from...typically I use Slacker.

I stream music all the time. I haven't noticed any lag at all...

Ok, looks like I'm going to have to try this rom then. I really love CF.5, but I gotta be able to listen to music and use email at the same time without bogging down the phone or interrupting my music. CF.5 is killing me on that.

I just cant get any battery life out of this Rom, no matter what kernel i use or radio I use. I guess it just doesnt like my hardware, too bad cause I really love what he has done with this. Going back to Nothing Special (Peanut) I guess.

loved this rom was switching from this to cm7 to ruby i stuck with ruby because i love the stock feel BUT i do love sense phone and camera but i was having problem with my 720p recording, it was choppy like hell anybody else had this problem.....that was another major reason im holding off on cm7 till they get 720p.
