I put cm7 nightly on my g2x and noticed that the battery readings are not accurate. They don't seem to update at regular intervals , thus giving inaccurate battery life. Anyone else notice this?

CM7 is no where near complete yet. You'd be better off posting things like this in the development section.

Cyanogen has reported that the battery drivers are not fixed in CM7 nighty. So the battery info is still pretty much worthless (just as it is now).

I keep hearing that this should fix the battery issues in cm7, but I can't find out if it can be loaded on the inspire. Anyone know or tried it?

The newer builds don't have a battery issue, most, including myself, get a 3mA drain while asleep which is as good if not better than most other ROMs, sense included.

I've already done all of that. My battery is decent when the phone is asleep. Where it sucks is when I am using it. I can browse the web for 10 minutes and I am done 6% battery or so. Even if I have the phone active most of the time, the biggest battery drains show as cell standby. Something is killing the radios when the phone is in use.

3 mA idle current is just phenomenal out of any device. Nexus one sees 6 mA, even the desire s sees 20 mA, thunderbolt is seeing 30 mA for some reason.
They really optimized the inspire.
So back to the original question....

I mostly do light browsing on my phone on wifi. If I browse for about 10 minutes or so I'm down 5-6%. When I was stock I'd lose maybe 1-2% after 10 minutes.
What I meant was how many milliamps is it draining while the screen is on? Battery Monitor Widget is what I use to check such things.
Also, what is your cpu set at in terms of speed and governor?

So I'm running inspired ace and I haven't noticed any problems until now. I noticed that after each
Charge my battery life is getting shorter and shorter. For instance when I first flashed the Rom,I got 26 hours off one charge with moderate use. Over the past 2 weeks its dropped from that and now,I pulled it off charger 7 hours ago and my battery is at 15%. The battery use is showing that the only thing eating a good piece of the battery is the display,and its only eating 42%. Is there something I'm missing? Is this a known issue discussed before? Is there another stock feeling sense Rom with GREAT battery life? Thanks in advance for any help

What is your screen on time for those 7 hours- not %, actual time. Click on display it will tell you the time. Its probably not a bug at all- your display was probably on for a long time; which is #1battery killer.

I haven't noticed that, running the same ROM solid since it was released.
Did you clear your battery stats upon flashing? How long have you been running the ROM? Have you installed any new apps since flashing? Have you been keeping an eye on any apps to see what's running as a service/using an abnormal amount of cpu?
Incidentally, I just got done logging 5h 45m screen-on time from unplug to low battery nag. No incoming/outgoing calls, gps off, WiFi on.
This is the highest I've gotten, and I really don't expect to see much more than that without messing with cpu settings and/or going to an AOSP ROM like...... GingerBeast.

I'm not sure to tell the truth. Im no newb when it comes to flashing,and have been able to sort out my own problems until here. But one thing I've never gotten into is seeing what is actually using the battery or CPU. So I don't know any apps or what it would take to do that. Also,I couldn't use adb because for some reason,it doesent play nice with my 2 Windows 7 ultimate computers lol. I want sense,I have to have it because it was my deal braker between the inspire and atrix. But if worse comes to worse,I guess ill have to do away with it,and get gingerbeast

What I've found, and what others in-the-know have said, is that a lot of these unexplained headaches can be caused by apps.
When my phone starts doing weird ****, with everything else being constant, no ROM changing, etc., I start clearing app data, cache, and if necessary, new apps themselves, until hopefully the problem goes away.
That's why I've personally taken it REAL slow with ROM flashing, for example. I want to know what works right with what, and I can't stand shooting in the dark when in comes to figuring out the source of a problem.
FWIW

The biggest thing I noticed with the new baseband is the instant gps locks with either ota 2.3.3 and even with cm7. I am using cm7 and the new baseband fix all my gps issues.

I think that if you have good reading comprehension and are capable of following instructions to the letter, then go ahead and update to get the new baseband...that way you can join the rest of us that facepalm while reading the posts from the others that simply can't or won't follow instructions.
Otherwise, have a seat over there and join the incessant mob ranting about the evil LG software bricking their phones.

that's true. but while my signal strength has not increased due to my location, my battery life has improved drastically. with wifi on all day yesterday and set to never sleep,and normal browsing,a few games,etc, i was at 74% at the end of the day. that's not typical of my usual battery stats.

The advice/opinions that you're looking for smacks you right in face as soon as you enter this forum. The update is a fresh topic and you don't have to search all that hard for the answer. Just take the time and read. The advice given to you are the same stuff mentioned all over this forum.
Geah!
Pros:
GPS locking - I was surprised running around town how responsive it was.
Battery life. I screwed up on calibrating my battery and pulled the batt at 64% instead of waiting till it died. At that point it was at 17 hours up time and I play with my phone a lot, I play Order and Chaos and that is battery killer and even with 2-4 hours of play it held strong. Currently I'm re-calibrating the battery once more and it's at 19 hours+ and 60%.I keep half expecting a sudden drop to 0 or a random power off but it seems to be going strong.
Speed up - What can I say? it seems more responsive.. may be placebo.
No FC's since I updated a few days ago., usually I'd have one a day at least. App loadout is the same
CONS:
Camera app sucks - We need that Lg camera app.
Data connectivity - seems to be about the same, random, unexplained drops in data.
Bricking - Seems the update under windows Vista/ Win 7 64 bit CAN have issues. I flashed mine from my workstation at work which is STILL running XP and it was fine.
That's about the short of it from my POV, others have reported issues with reboots still, bricking, and it slapping their children when they aren't looking, but I think those people may be ReRe's anyway.
It is very hard to differentiate real issues and user caused from bad flash or maybe rough titanium restore

Updating with windows 7 64 bit and having issues is myth.
I was rooted on stock rom and updated when windows 7 64 bit.
All this nonsense of windows 7 being incompatible is a false rumor.
Infact, of anything windows 7 should be better since it's more modern software for a modern cell phone that was just issued a modern update.
Sometimes, I doubt the credibility of this forum and the advice that's posted, just because.
Of course it is worth.

If you are already running the older leaked GB or a custom GB ROM and are stable then the answer is no. If you are running Froyo or a custom Froyo ROM and are stable then the answer is no. Since I went from the older leaked GB (v20c or whatever it was) to this one I experience the sleep of death EVERY time I charge overnight. I experience the SoD intermittently during daily usage with absolutely NO correlation to anything I do. Good news is no spontaneous reboots. Although if the SoD issue continues I will just wipe and go with EB or CM7 and Faux's kernel. All I can say is LG/T-Mo dropped the ball on this one.

I have ran into an odd problem with my n1. My battery is going from 25%-30% to dead. It charges fine, and logs show a normal discharge rate until about 25%, then its totally out of juice.
I was running CM7 when the problem started. So I went back to stock. Same problem.
Time for a new battery? I've just never heard of this issue before.

It is probably because your battery age does not properly reflect what your battery is capable of (which changes over time due to natural degradation). Have a look here on how to calibrate your battery...

Running cm 7.2 stable. Co custom kernel or anything. Seen this with other Rom and kernel as well
Go to about phone and battery usage
Some random app would show up as using lots of battery but when I select it, it does no cpu usage
Map often does this too
Any idea? Seems that battery usage counter on this phone is a step down from useless

Despite what people say about clearing battery stats, it can most certainly help with odd battery reporting. It's true it won't "calibrate" your phone, but I can say from experience that it has helped with showing more accurate usage.
I will say this though. When the G2x first came out, it was widely known that the battery drivers for it were horrible. While using CM was a huge improvement, it's never been where it should've been in reporting accurately.
Nope, calibration didn't help.
Probably what you said, battery drive just plain suck.
