My battery started draining within 4 hours in December 2010. I only used it every hour just to check the battery life. After it would die, it would take up to 2.5 hours to come back on after I plugged it into the charger. Three more phones at my office started having the same problem with 3 weeks. I backed my phone up last night and reset it, wiping everything clean like I just bought it. This morning I still had a full battery. So we figure one of the aps must me draining the battery. I am going to try installing them one at a time to see if I can figure out which one is the culprit.

I have the same problem as Tbux, it never gets “Wildcard activated”… Help will be much appreciated

SAM is not working for me. I cannot get passed the “invalid SIM” to activate my iphone. How can I activate my iphone to let SAM work? It doesn’t read “Wildcard activated”, instead it simply reads “Unactivated”. I do not have the original SIM card it came with.
My battery used to last 30-40 hours, now I can’t even make it through an 8 hour work day! Can someone help me!

Using Redsn0w 0.9.6b8 currently, battery seem stable and preserved. Work really well untettered on GreenPois0n RC5. Does anyone knows when the Redsn0w 0.9.7 will be out? there is still problem with GPS, bluetooth, Skype. Thanks.

This SAM works very well in stopping battery drain for me on 0.9.6b6. I don’t know if I should update it to Redsn0w 0.9.6b8, because I don’t know if the battery will continue to be preserved on SAM. Does anyone know?

it would probably be draining because you either play to many games or u have ur brightness on for too long like just leaving your phone somewhere with it on and the brightness all the way up

I tried this and my battery is still draining really quickly. Within 2 hours it goes from a full charge to 20%… Is there any other reason why my phone whould be draining so quickly… it wasnt doing this when it was jailbroken/unlocked on 3.2.1.

I’ve unlocked a few phones with the new ultrasn0w now and the results are mixed, some batteries drain and some don’t. I think it’s mostly dependent on the carrier, but I’m glad there is a simple fix. DevTeam works quick as usual.
