What Jailbreaking Is And How To Do It - Page 24

Now that Blacksn0w is coming out (baseband unlock) there is no difference between using a custom firmware. You can now JB and unlock 3.1.2.

However, if you are JB'd and still on 3.0 it is still a good idea to capture your SHSH files so that you can _always_ downgrade to 3.0 if you want to.

Why would you want to?

1) 3rd party apps that you have working on 3.0 don't function correctly with 3.1.2.
2) Unstable, crashes, etc.

Other than that doing an official update is not a show stopper.

Thoughts?

I am going to stop using Tea LockBackground for a little and see if that improves my battery at all.

Do you have backgrounder?

Are you leaving a lot of apps running in the background?

From what I understand of Tea Lock it doesn't do anything that should be taxing the cpu.

Unless, it's possibly polling things at some obscene rate.

I think you can set the polling rates through the config file. I.E. how often weather updates are checked etc.

I used Tea Lock for a bit then went only Native Rendering.

I do, however, remember having a theme installed once that made my battery drop ~20% in a short time. I think I traced to dynamic wallpapers. It was changing wallpapers and other things that decreased battery life dramatically.

Things I do to save battery:

1) If you aren't using wifi turn it off (sbssettings toggle).
2) If you have no signal at all where you're at go Airplane mode.
3) Turn brightness down.
4) Kill random apps that fire up i.e. ipod, mail.

I don't use backgrounder or anything that uses multiple apps running at once. Tea lock changes the background of the lockscreen every three hours and they fade in and out of each other which could be eating some battery.

I do all that that you mention to save on battery time already.

So, I am JB'ed and on 3.0. I have disregarded all warnings about not updating your baseband in the past. Will I still be able to unlock when I jailbreak?
