Battery life on 3GS after jailbreak? - Page 3

cdc515 · 07-13-2009, 02:09 AM

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.

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

I took off the keyboard vibrate tweak and battery is still draining.

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.
