hi there! right now im on cm7 110822 boot179-4 nightly (for 5 days now), and yesterday my phone started to drain the battery extremely fast, it took for 12 hours to go from 100% to 12%, and i usually have at least 50% after 12 hours. and i noticed something. when i touch the screen and hold, it tingles. is it possible that my touchscreen got screwed up and there flows way more current on it than it should? oh and one more thing. my phone has been extremely hot in the last day, the battery reached 45°C, while usually its around 35-37... :confused:

The tingles thingies must come from settings - sound - heptic feedback. Getting hot must come from installed 3rd party apps that continuesly having your 3G data line access none stop. Trace back your history of installed apps to see which one actually doing the dirty spy job in your phone background..

Also making sure GPS and WIFI is off when not using and data sync too if you worried about continues syncing.

Mine normally after full charged, it will only drop 5% after like 8 hours from night to morning.

no, its not because of haptic feedback, i can tell the difference. wifi or 2g/3g is constantly on, depending on where i am, but it never caused any problems. gps is almost never on. i have used these apps for a month now, neither has caused any issues yet. i already solved the high temperature by disabling the boot oc (i accidentally forgot to do that after flash), and its possible that the tingling was a placebo, but the battery drain is still present. i will try the 110830 nightly, heard it was good. but thx for trying to help!

Even if the apps already there for months doesn't mean they're not giving you problem. Some apps start creating problem after an update that its developer might overlook. Another possibility is your battery may at it end of life..

If you have backup of your current rom right before it giving you problem, it might be good restoring it to narrow down your headache..
