iPhones 4s dying!

[NFox]

Jailbroke my iPhone just over a week ago and its been running absolutely fine. However the last 24 hours the battery has suddenly become a nightmare! Draining about 25% an hour on the lowest brightness, data disabled etc! Now I didnt install anything in the last 48 hours at all or change any settings.. I did as a precaution delete the last few applications I downloaded, turned off all notifications etc but still getting 20-25% drain an hour!

Asides from the obvious, restoring to the original firmware, is there anything else people can think of to try?!

Don't know if it will work but in Cydia there is an ios5 battery fix.

Would be epic is some clever cnut at Apple had some embedded firmware that detected non-standard iOS and killed the battery. I simply CBA jailbreaking my iPhone, though I can understand why people do it.

D.

I will give the battery app a go!

Haha or someone has hacked my phone and monitoring my everymove

There is a lot of cool features by jailbreaking for sure but once you get over the fad its liek anything, you dont tend to use any of it!

I'd put it back to Apple iOS incase it buggers up and you need to take it back.

I had jail broken my old 3GS. Worked fine for many months and and then one day decided to just stop. Nothing would load, stuck on the iTunes screen, tried all the types of resets and restores but it was still broken. Fortunately, it restored just enough to load the apple icon instead of the pineapple at the start. Took it to Apple store, and because the logo had changed and I may have flirted a little with the gay guy behind the counter I got a new phone out of warranty. Saved me £140 lol

Just out of interest, why did you jailbreak it in the first place?

 

[Gouldy]

Re install IOS 5, I jail broke my 4 about 15 months ago and remove the jail break within a week.

No point to jail breaking on the later IOS devices IMO, you will get bored of it and change it back anyway no doubt.

 

[NFox]

To be honest there was no real functionality I was lacking. I just like trying things out, broadens my understanding etc. I am going to go ahead and reinstall ios 5 this weekend.

I just dont like not understanding why it has suddenly had an impact, the fact it was as good if not better for over a week and then out of no where it developed this issue. Really bugs me! It wasnt a gradual change either.

By going back to iOS 5, you'll see if it's hardware or software. If its hardware then back to Apple and problems solved. If its software, then I'm sure google or someone here will have an idea.

 

[Jonny1*2]

presumably you can't jailbreak ios5 yet?

 

[NFox]

You can Jonny! Been available now for just over a week. Lookup absinthe

Sweet

Lol at the haters.

Did you download any items from Cydia such as Winterboard? i'd just do a recovery install of the latest firmware and re-jailbreak it!

ive had my 4s for 2 weeks now and when I reach 20% battery the phone switches off. Doing my tits in

doesn't sound right tbh, mine on 2% doesnt even switch off!

 

[aldo_87]

trip to the apple shop I think

 

[NFox]

Well back to apple firmware and its running fine again! Thinking of actually selling it though as I dont really need it. Having said that I've said the same with every iPhone then I get rid of it and miss it just for the simple things!

 

[Gouldy]

How much are you selling for ?

I've been thinking about upgrading to a 4s for a while
