You can't judge cell standby in a vacuum of just throwing out a single number. What was your typical cell standby percentage before CM? Have you spent time in any areas that might have lower coverage since flashing it? Are you using your phone in the same way before you flashed CM (that is, roughly the same amount of roughly the same usage)?

Is it worthwhile to flash #9? The change log is pretty thin.

I skipped #9, no changes directly for the DX bugs, and no substantive improvements in the code base.
I am still getting horrible battery life. I am still sitting on #7 to see if it evens out some. I did a battery calibration right after flashing #7 and I thought it might have been a little better than #5 but still can't make it through the day. Phone usually dies around 5:00pm everyday. I have excellent coverage (usually between 4 and 5 bars).
Oh and I have the larger standard form factor battery.

I am just now jumping on the boat and installing the CM7 but I am trying to sort through all these 900 post
Ok so I downloaded the Monster.zip and the Gapps (not really sure what gapps is for but I downloaded it anyways) but I didnt see the zip for the gps fix. Is it a separate zip. Also how do the nightly s work. Do I have to install the Monster.zip first and then do a factory wipe and all that and then install the newest nightly or what. Like I said I tried to sift through all the post to get my answers but there are so many. I appreciate the help
Thanks
PS. I Jumped in and the install went perfectly. Only took 5 mins.

Gapps(Google Apps) contain the proprietary Google applications that come pre-installed with most android devices. Due to licensing restrictions, these apps cannot come pre-installed with CM and must be installed separately. CyanogenMod does not require Google Apps to function properly, however, to take full advantage of the Android system, Google Apps are recommended.
These apps include Gmail, Maps, and the Android Market, just to name a few.

Can we update the nightlies (from 7-9) without wiping data?

Interestingly, Gmail and Maps are market downloads now so they don't need to be installed through the "Gapps" package (I can't remember if they're included or not in the package - I don't believe they are, or at least Maps isn't). It used to be that Gmail and Maps weren't standard market apps so without the Gapps package, you couldn't get them.
I'm not sure if there are any important apps that the Gapps package installs besides the market, now.

What's eating your battery when you go to Settings > About Phone > Battery? Also, in the little graph at the top (or tap on it to make it bigger), do you see any oddities like sudden drop offs that correlate with any particular activity?
I think the Wireless N drivers in this build might be a little off, because I was seeing significant battery drains when I connected to my home wireless. You could tell, the graph took a sudden dip when I got home. If I left it on 3G, I didn't get that dip. I switched to Wireless G-only on my router and I no longer get the drop off.
So... just poke around your battery history. It's a pretty useful tool.
Do you have some sort of overclock program installed? I would recommend removing or freezing the app - especially if you are not using it.
I got a huge jump when I removed Droid Overclock (I wasn't even using it). It very well could have been totally unrelated, but I know some people have seen some bad battery performance with overclock programs and CM7. I would wait until the ROM is more mature before I tried using an overclock program.

Aw..cool. thx
Thought we were supposed to be wiping dalvik cache before installing each nightly?

Each nightly is a full build. You only have to install whatever nightly you want to run.

Does quick clock have the same drain as droid overclock?
Which Nightly do all of you recommend?

I'm running #8 only because #9 didn't have anything enticing for me to upgrade. If I were starting from scratch, I'd probably jump right to #9.

I believe there is an error in the I/O portion of the quadrant test, similar to the Stagefright mod that was causing tests to get skipped. If you watch the database reads/writes, they are immensely faster and CM didn't make the phone that much faster, so something is happening to that test.
Since my new refurb overclocks like crazy, I had it cranked up to 1.45 GHz and was clocking WAY over 3k, like 3200, 3300.
Most recent builds should have it back... I think they corrected it in build #6 or 7.

I just flashed 8, which seems to make LPP faster than 7. I think it has something to do with the shortcuts fix in the changelog, since I had a ton of them set up.
Also, on a totally unrelated note, the music control buttons in my notification bar widget activate Fede's Music app (Ubermusic). Pretty awesome, since I don't touch the default music apps
So was this a yes or a no on the factory wipe. If not do I wipe the cache?
