Sent from my Incredible 2 using DroidForums

 

[hbsurfer]

any other input here?

 

[ajohn7211]

Does the clock app stay after rebooting? just asking since i (and everyone else running stock 2.3.3) no longer have the clock app

Running nightly build #7 currently

But currently seeing some ridiculous battery usage on Cell Standby.

Anyone else?

 

[Darkside86]

I have also noticed that my cell standby is a little high, but it says I haven't spent any time without a signal so i'm not sure why it is that high. I'm still getting great battery life (that could also be that I flashed the JDkernal) easily going about 18hrs @20% remaining.

 

[hbsurfer]

what is a kernel? (and don't say corn!) LOL

 

[hbsurfer]

is that "cell stand-by" a good thing?

 

[k3n85]

is that "cell stand-by" a good thing?

This is saying that 40+% is going to just cell standby, I've seen this to usually be <15% so no, you would want this to be much lower IMO.

 

[k3n85]

I turned on Airplane mode and was able to drop this way down, but obviously once I turned back on it steadily climbed back up to 35/40%

 

[hbsurfer]

does anyone have the latest link for the cynmod7?
is the one at the start of this thread the latest?
where do we find the themes, etc...!?
thank you!

Those are the nightlies. The latest and greatest, but also the most varied in terms of pretty much everything. I'm running Nightly 12 right now with the Tiamat 1.0.3 kernel, and it's (mostly) fine. Some issues, but the Tiamat kernel fixes the low call volume problem for the most part.

Themes are the CM theme engine themes. Go to the CM forums for those.

 

[snowBlind]

Sorry if this should be an obvious...

Do I have to flash a radio with CM7 as well?

I've got no connectivity with VZW. The only connectivity I have is from my wi-fi.

 

[Fenuxx]

You should update to the 1.09 radio, yes. The CyanogenMod wiki for the Incredible 2 has the files and instructions.

Have you tried reactivating? *228 and follow the prompts.
