Has anyone on CM7 noticed if you're phone is charging and you reboot, you're battery percentage jumps up. I don't know what's the cause of this. I'm using SavagedZen kernel also with the undervolting script from viperboy (but i've always noticed it before undervolting).

You can see at the end, my percentage went on a vertical slope up.

Also, how can I improve my battery life? ...you can see how HORRIBLE it is. I took my phone off the charger at 7:30 to go to school. By 4:30 when I get home, it is 10% and that's normal. All i do is text and listen to music and occasionally on the internet (10 mins total on the internet).

Undervolt more or try Tiamat. I know SZ doesn't play well with my phone but Tiamat does. If I'm not cruising the internet on my phone all day or playing games (slow days at work ftl), just routine FB/Twitter and some texting while at work I don't usually get below 80% battery after about 9 hours off the charger.

I love Tiamat, it ROCKS for my phone.

Here are the links for it if you dont already know:

[Kernel][AOSP] Tiamat 3.3.8 | 2.6.37.6 | 4/24/11 - xda-developers

& Download link:
Tiamat AOSP Kernels :: Downloads

As for the changing battery % when rebooting, Wipe your battery stats, charge to 100%, reboot, charge more if needed after the reboot, wipe batt stats again, and use your phone till it shuts itself off.

After that, just use as normal and you should be good.

Hmm. I noticed today that my 4g antenna was refusing to stay on, much less lock on to the wimax network, in areas I know to have coverage. Switched back to Ultimate Droid, and all is well, but I'm disappointed, as I had just started making use of the mouse pointer add on with cm7 while mirroring to my tv.

Although Tiamat is snappier and smoother on my phone, it causes random reboots for me. So I just stick with SavagedZen.

I did wipe batter stats last night, but i'll try that step by step and hopefully, i'll have somewhat normal battery life...

7.0.2.1 fixed GPS on my unit, but I continue to be unable (or sporadically at best) to download MMS through Handcent or the stock messaging app. When I hit the download button, it sits there for a couple of minutes then the download button appears again. Sometimes, I do not even receive MMS notifications.

I've seen similar issues on my GF's Slide, and clearing the caches seemed to fix the problem, but didn't do so for my Evo. I also tried deleting telephony.db, to no avail.

I had the same problem on RC2 (along with the GPS bug), so went back to Warm. I have no problems with MMS on Sense ROMs. I did a clean install when I came back to 7.0.2. I wish MMS would work for me on CM7, since it is my favorite.

I've been trying to get the wimax BFS Savaged Zen kernel but the link is broken on this page: Savaged-Zen (MOD) Mirror System

Anybody know where else I can get it? Haven't had any luck. Guess I could use the CFS one but would prefer the BFS.

I just clicked on that link and it works for me.

I have a slightly different problem with gps. My google nav works great, locks fast and continues tracking but Google maps does not. It lockes at first and then it either stops tracking or changes to the wrong location. If I keep gNav working and starts gMaps, it works perfectly. Any ideas?

By the way, this happens on any version of CM7.

Ok, so dumb question.

I already have CM7 and the gapps flashed to my phone.

I want to flash Savage Zen. Not sure of exactly what I need to do, so here goes:

1. Do I need to flash these (the ROMS and Kernels) in any order? Does it matter if I already have CM7 flashed....can I just flash SZ or will I have to re-flash CM7?
2. Do I need to wipe data to flash a kernel, or just the cache and Dalvik? I really don't want to lose my current setup (screens, widgets, etc).

Guess one more dumb question: When I back up a ROM (using ROM Manager) and then I restore it, it doesn't include the kernel right? So if I restore a backup, it won't change my kernel back. Is that right?

Are you talking about the rom or just the kernel?

How long did it take Cyanogenmod to update to 2.3.3? I'm trying to figure out how long it'll take them to update to 2.3.4.
