I have an 1st generation iPhone that I have upgraded to 3.0 on and it works well. I decided to unlock the phone using redsnow and that went ok without any problems as well, or so I thought. At 2AM yesterday after doing the unlock, I went to bed. Woke up 6 hours later and the phone was completely dead. Plugged it in and recharged. Usage was equal to standby.

I thought the problem may be due to boss prefs so I restored using the custom Redsnow retsore file. This time I didn't install any apps. Same problem, battery was half way gone in two hours. Usage was also equal to standby.

Not sure what the problem is but I had to restore the phone using the real restore file in iTunes and now my battery life is normal again.

I don't want to do this on my 3G phone till I know there won't be a problem.

Any ideas on this? Thanks
