Battery life on 3GS after jailbreak?

cliffeman · 07-03-2009, 07:30 PM

For everyone who's jailbroken their 3GS. What has your battery life been like so far? For me, it's been about the same even before the jailbreak. Right now I'm running SBsettings, intelliscreen, Cydelete, OpenSSH, Elert and Tlert.

As far as lag. I have not noticed any lag opening apps or using the keyboard. My memory has yet to go below 140MB even when i open up and run Cydia or Icy.

Same here. Everything opens up very quickly, like right out of the box. Battery life seems to be fairing identical to stock.

I say "seems" because it's only been a day. I'll report back with any changes. Winterboard was said to be the culprit of lag on previous firmware jailbreaks, so we'll have to see if it changes the game with the 3GS.

Personally, I think it's going to be super tough to slow this beast down. I'm lovin' this processor.

You're right about it being only a day (hours really). I agree, i'm looking forward to seeing how the 3GS will perform with Winterboard fully functional.

I have had no push problems yet. I noticed yahoo was still pushing. Beejive and the app store updates are still working.

So I assume WinterBoard isn't out yet? If that's the case, I'm afraid it'll bring on the lag, unless it's been rewritten from the ground up for 3.0 or 3.0 & the 3GS are able to prevent the lag altogether. I always noticed lag upon WinterBoard's installation, and it seemed as if more and more of it seeped in over time. I guess we'll see.

The kernel vm_mem patch was not included in Purplera1n. So there's no Winterboard (yet). Or SMS apps like QuickSMS, or MySMS.

i dont think it will lag much. backgrounding pandora and searching the web or in cydia and my memory doesnt get below 130 to 125 pretty good if you ask me.

My battery kinda hard to tell right now but has been awesome since i bought it. Right now im at 98% with 17 minutes of use and 2 hours and 35 minutes of standby. Ill report back as it drains.

Now that Winterboard has been updated and installed on my phone. I haven't noticed a drastic change in battery life yet. Although, I did notice an jump in memory once i updated intelliscreen, tlert, elert, and intellidial in Rock. After my phone did a hard repspring. My memory went from idling in the 170's to the 180's!!

Even with Winterboard running my theme and little mods. it bounces between 183-187.

Yeah mines been great so far. Basically no change in battery/ memory with Winterboard or the jailbreak. Nothing can slow this puppy down!

Mine's been awesome because it's so easy to use 3G/location services only as needed. Adjusting brightness manually/easily on the fly also helps. Getting used to using SBsettings this way can gain you hours on your life throughout the day.

i charged my iphone to 100%, i then took it off the charger at 1:33 and did not even do one thing to it just simply took it off the charger it is now 1:56 and my battery is at 95% any ideas how i can fix this? my battery is dropping really fast after JB and installation of Cydia apps.
