Hello everyone,

I'm new to Cyanogen, I just installed it a coupe of days ago, and despite a few quirks here and there I'm happy with my decision to switch over. I followed your guide and used Clockworkmod as the recovery image. But I have two questions.

1. I've noticed my battery life has reduced considerably, I've put my CPU on "conservative" and it's alleviated the issue some, but not by enough, I think. I've gone from 96% to 83% in 5 hours IDLE. That never used to happen to me before. At most I would get a 5% drop, if any. I've attached pictures of what I think might be of use to you in helping me diagnose this. What are all those things under Android System and why are they running so much?

2. I thought tethering and portable hotspot would work now, doesn't work with Cyanogen either. This is SPRINT by the way. I turn it on and suddenly my 3G goes off. It used to do this when I was running stock android.  I can connect to the phone but the internet is not available. What gives? (Attached pictures for this too.)

Nobody?

I think the reason why no responses have been forthcoming is because this site is being inundated with reports of injector scripts, suspicious redirects, and tainted image files.   I'm having to sift thru the warnings just to get this up.... also if anyone is reading with any kind of pull on this site... forum posts are not viewable thru the stock browser on CM 7.1, just an FYI.   So posting this via my PC.

Anyway, I have concerns about that myself with the battery life but if I may also point out another issue that I would like to avoid creating a new post for, is anyone else forced to use International Data Roaming just to do regular Data Roaming and is that normal?   I mean, by me just having Domestic Data Roaming enabled will not get me on another providers network... I have to enable International Data Roaming and no, I am not near any kind of foreign border... Mexico or Canada so naturally I am in the US.   I'm just curious because I could data roam after enabling that feature and noticed that the description does not fit the label... meaning... Internaltional Data Roaming is described in settings as "Connect to Data Services while Roaming", really not defining that this is for International.  And of course just having National Data Roaming enabled does not work.  Just curious is all.

Thanks.
