    ok i jailbroke 2 times with redsn0w and tried restoring from backup and as new iphone both have not fixed the problem it seems to be in one of the cydia apps i have installed because the battery was fine with no apps installed via cydia, i will have to keep testing to see which app is causing this problem.

    I lost 10% in 1 hour using mail, cydia, and one game for 10 minutes.

    What Cydia apps were you running before?

    That might be your problem right there. I remember i tried Haptic Pro and i kept wondering why my battery was draining so quickly.

    Hello, I'm new at this forum, I'm from Spain (Europe) so sorry for my english.
    mine is iphone 3G, not 3G S but have the same problems, it seems to be faster, but the batery drains pretty fast after jailbreak.
    For those who think it may be because of any cydia aps, I should say I only have installed via cydia:
    sbsettings
    installous
    cycorder
    modem
    mxtube
    and i noticed the problem with the battery when I just had sbsettings and installous, so I think that if the problem is really with any cydia's app, it has to be because of SBSettings.
    what do you guys think?

    EDIT: it is 2:01 now an my battery is at 94%

    Edit: it is 2:09 now an the battery is at 92%

    This cant be normal can it ????
    Might be one of your apps. Had the same issue. In 15 minutes I was at 88%. I believe it was either Evernote, Live Poker by Zynga or a non 3.0 tested app.

    which approach did you use to JB? purplera1n or redsn0w? At least in one case, use of redsn0w was reported to solve a fast draining battery. Here is the link (http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum...b-51656-2.html)

    What do I think? I think it's unlikely that SBSettings alone is causing your drain. My other thought is, even if that app did cause drain, I would still use it because I think it's worth it. But most likely it's one or more of your other apps.

    I would suggest restoring, rejailbreaking, and adding jailbroken apps one a time, and maybe go a day or so after adding each one and see how it fares.
