I noticed something pretty interesting....When I'm able to get into the battery manager it seems that my cell standby time is always twice the amount of time since the phone was last unplugged and 50% of the time is without a signal. There is absolutely no way I'm going 50% of the time without a signal (and always exactly 50%). I tried restarting the phone and I always end up with a cell standby time twice as long as the time since last plugged in.
What I did try was turning on airplane mode for a second and then turning it back off. It seems the cell standby is now functioning (or at least displaying) correctly. I'll have to test longer to see if this helps my battery life any.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks!

Cell standby is a graphical bug. If you look at your time without signal it'll read 1% or 0%, at least for me it always does.

I've had the same issue and I believe it's making my batter drain faster. I'm never in an area with a weak signal and the only thing that has changed is moving from focused .5 to 1.0.
I go to bed with my phone at 50% and wake up to 20%. The whole time data should be turned off and it still drains a ton. Before it would only go down 10%.
Try putting your phone in airplane mode for a few seconds and then taking it back out.. That seems to have worked for me.

I'll give it a shot. So far this has been my only issue with focused 1.0 and it's very minor. I've been on the rubix focused bandwagon since .3 and I'm loving it.
Support for this rom has been outstanding!
I've mentioned this to both Drod and AngDroid at different points (and gotten prompt and personalized responses from both of them BTW, best devs around), and I do believe them when they tell me that the cell standby isn't real... but my battery life since changing from 0.5 to 1.0 is half as good, at best.
so... even if it isn't the cell standby, something is draining my battery. I'm not OC'd (which by the way makes me /facepalm after all the wonderful cleaning out of extra system processes that people are in love with OC'ing but I digress) I'm totally themeless except for Jsin's blackbar and running LPP, just like on 0.5. I've examined my running processes to make sure there isn't anything new in there from before, and there isn't. I've also .sbf'ed in an effort to remove any remnants of older ROMs from the internals that might be screwing something up... to no avail. I really love the look and feel of this ROM, but something about the fission base isn't agreeing with my X.
I hate to say it, but I think I've gotta go back to 0.5 and see if it corrects the battery issue. I'll update later with results...
I just wanna follow up with Drod on the standby issue because I think it's a legit battery drain. I did a little experimenting today. For both of the tests my phone sat on my desk, had zero phone calls and a few e-mails and texts. It did not move more than 3 feet for both tests. Hey it was a slow Friday! I also updated my PRL last night, version 52031.
After my last post I did the airplane mode flip that was suggested and fully charged my phone. In 1 hour it went from 100% to 80% battery and 43% of the usage was cell standby.
I then restored to a Focused .5 backup I had. Upgraded all of my apps and made it as identical to my 1.0 setup as possible. In 1 hour it went fro 100% to 90% and 5% of the usage was cell standby. It took me 3 hours just to hit 80%.
Just trying to help since .3 & .5 worked flawlessly for me. I also noticed that with 1.0 it takes about 5 hours to charge from 20%, where on .5 it only took 2.5-3 hours.
Why is there no voice input when writing an email or text?
This was answered a few pages back. Voice Search controls this, and since it is a market app, is no longer included with the rom. To get this back, download voice search from the market.

what are you using to read the battery percentage? remember this rom reads in increments of 20% and it will read 80% as soon as you hit 90.
