I had the same problem and did a fresh install as well. It took awhile to get set up, but my phone runs amazingly well now.

I think both of these could have been related to /data/data filling up. This seems to be a re-occuring theme with the HTC Incredible. Its /data/data partition is slightly anemic and some applications are hungry on that partition. I bet if you pulled a logcat off the failing devices, it would have been full with I/O errors and SQLLite Exceptions. I have seen at least 3 cases of this including my own phone recently.

If you run into the issue again, can you see if you can get a logcat off the device as its FCing and see if clearing the cache of an app or two stabilizes the phone.

I think I may see about writing some code that will give some sort of a warning that the partition is starting to get full.

I was wondering where the quick access buttons for turning wifi, gps, bluetooth and the data connection have gone from the pull down menu.  I am now on build 223, and it disappeared recently.  Am I missing a setting somewhere?  Please help, I use these buttons daily.  Thanks!

I flashed Nightly 218 a couple of days ago and noticed that the phone ran a little hot for the first hour or two.  However, after a reboot and once the rampant sync slowed down, things seemed to stabilize and I was able to fully enjoy the new features from 7.0.3 without much of a problem.  The only real recurring issue I have found so far is when I'm listening to music or a podcast through Music Beta or BeyondPod, it will randomly periodically cut out from whatever I was listening to there and play the last thing that I was listening to on DoubleTwist.  So far, I think that rebooting every so often helps the problem, although I haven't done this nearly enough for a statistically valid data sample.  I'm gonna flash 7.1 stable later this week and see if that problem persists.  

On a different note:
What sort of factors effect boot time?  Aside from the first time I booted up with Nightly 218, my phone has been booting WAY faster than it ever did on 7.0.3.

I too noticed that boot time is now half to a third of what it used to be. I have no idea why so I can't answer your question, but you are not the only one experiencing this. I booted yesterday's nightly (10/11/11) and have seen some improvement in battery life, but not much, and still far more drain than I had with the last stable mod. I'm running on Kernel 2.6.37.6. I actually tried to flash a newer kernel using Kernel Manager Lite, but it wouldn't work and I have not had time to do it manually.

Did you try settings > cyanogenmod settings > Interface tweaks > notification power widget?

[PolynesianMedic]

Themick, that was it, thanks!  I must have turned it off somehow, and didn't realize it.

I continue to go back to build 224 for the superior battery life.  Has anyone had similar battery life with any of the newer nightlies?

[jwalth02]

I'm currently on 253 and the last few nightlies I've updated to have had a hard time staying on 3g when I know its there. I can be sitting right under a tower and it will show 1x until I turn off the data with my power widget. Then when it comes back on bam I have full 3g. Anyone else seeing this?

I haven't been having any issues of the sort while running 257, did a full wipe with TiBackPro restoration afterward. Everything seems to be working great and now Im waiting on ICS.

Would you mind being more specific... when referring to Superior Battery Life...?  I recently tried the new RAZR, and was told by the sales tech that the 4.5 hours of use - at minimal setting (with WiFi, Bluetooth, etc. turned OFF) was normal and should be expected, what with 4G being a battery hog.  That puppy went back to the pound rapid quick.  I formerly had an original Droid, and would get about 6 to 8 hours out of a battery - with moderate use (emails, an occasional website scan and a program or two), but then I also carried extra batteries, just in case.

I'm now using an Incredible, and find the battery life to be pretty good, averaging about 8+ hours of daily use.  So, what do you do with your phone and what battery life do you get... on the standard size battery?  How about on the extended life battery...??

[PolynesianMedic]

Normal use for me is texting, facebook, foursquare, Google+, phone use, email, wifi is always on as is bluetooth and gps.  I was seeing close to 12+ hours before getting below 50% battery.  I do have a 1800 ma battery, that is the largest I could find and still stay with the standard back.  I have not tried using my big battery with this build.  I am currently on the last nightly, and find that it is not as good as 224 was.  I will probably go back to 224 and wait for CM9 at this point.

[smokeydriver]

Are nightlies suspended until CM9 is released? Or was something hacked again causing a delay? I'm NOT complaining...just curious if I should keep checking for nightlies.

[PolynesianMedic]

I just read in another thread that the nightlies were yet again hacked, and the HDD has crashed.  Apparently they are having difficulty acquiring a new one.

Posted on G+ this afternoon:

"As most of you are aware, CM7 nightly builds have been down for about a month now. This originally stemmed from some hardware issues, which have been resolved. I've just made the decision (with some +1s from other CM maintainers) to keep the nightly builds down until we are ready to start doing CM9 builds."

"There is still some occasional progress made on CM7, however for the most part maintainers are working on CM9 exclusively. It isn't worth the time to revive the build cluster to a state in which it can build CM7, just to redo all of the work when we're ready for CM9."

i had this weird problem yesterday.  my phone restarted twice.  It restarted after i tried to wake it up, and the screen stayed dark.  It was very inconvenient, hehe, as i was trying to make a call at the time.  

didn't know if anybody else was having this problem, or how i could report this.  hope this helps the devs.

[Bryan317]
