Limera1n Battery Issue?

[Mustang5Oh]

I know this always comes up but my phone was fully charged and I took it off charger at 1030am. By 254 pm my battery is at 44% and Ive only played a game for maybe 20 minutes and sent a few emails nothing big. I'm wondering if this JB is having battery issues with everyone or if I am just paranoid? I am about to restore and wait for Greenpois0n.

i have noticed it also. probably using about 20-25% more since jailbreaking on saturday...

 

[Mustang5Oh]

I just charged it fully and with 1 hr 36 min of usage with 4 hours and 16 minutes in standby I'm down to 77% battery.

This is garbage battery life. Not thinking I'll be keeping this. Might just restore and wait for Greenpois0n and see how that works out.

I tend to think it's not the JB but something that was installed with an app I downloaded. I'm going to have to investigate.

13 more min. go by and I dropped 4% battery life. Restoring tomorrow.

I've noticed a pretty fast battery drain also. Went to bed last night at 11:00, this morning at 7:00 it had dropped 12%, and that's being off all night. No push or bluetooth on either.

Hmm idk guys i jailbroke my Iphone 4 but my battery isnt dying out super quick, or maybe i just havent noticed. Even before the jailbreak the games are killer, but yeah lasted me all day yesterday from 8am to 4pm. Which doesnt sound like much but i was able to watch a full movie, 4 hours of music playing, texting, emailing, and Facebook.
But i do have the app sbsettings and im always adjusting my brightness, turning off 3g when not necessary, wifi when not at home etc to make the battery last longer.

I am also seeing a battery draw that is more than before however not unusual, I normally see reduced battery life with my iPhones after jailbreak.

I ended up restoring and ill try Greenpois0n.

I haven't noticed any dramatic difference with lime. I too generally notice a small decrease in battery life with any jailbreak though.

To me it seems to drop off quicker. I used to think that percentage was good to see, now it is like watching grass grow and I am always looking at the guage. I am swithing % off and will just use the phone until it turns red and needs recharge.

My usage in settings doesn't display since I jailbroke. Anyone else have this problem? Suggestions?

 

[jtrevill]

Actually, found an answer in another post - says it will correct itself after a full charge. I had a full charge today, but have done a respring, so I'll try again tonight.

I'm the same way. If I have % on I constantly will stare at it so see how much I've used haha so I tend to keep it off also.

Im on Greenpois0n and the battery life is excellent... Gave it a full charge and its been great afterwards...

 

[jtrevill]

Farbod - does how well a jailbreak is written affect things like battery usage, memory leaks, etc? If that's the case, I'll be using the Greenpois0n as well I suspect!

Thanks!

I'm sure limera1n final is just as good. I just support the guys at chronic. Also make sure u get a nice full charge to recalibrate the battery meter.

I've noticed the same as the OP with Limera1n, the battery seems to drop a lot quicker. I'm considering a restore again tonight, and trying Greenpois0n. But before that, I'm draining the battery to zero and then fully charging and see how I get on then.

 

[MustangLife]

Yall don't complain about the battery life with Limera1n or GeoHot will get pissed and make a blog to everyone saying hes quitting the jailbreak business.

So, I don't really "get" the logic of less of a battery leak with Greenpois0n vs limera1n.

When Greenpois0n (aka SHAtter) was released, Chronic Dev announced that they re-worked Greenpois0n to use the same exact exploit that geohot put out to the world (limera1n). In doing that, they saved the SHAtter exploit in case/for when Apple patches limera1n.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Same exploit/JB, different way of delivering it.

No... Exploit = Delivery system. Jailbreak = Payload.

The exploits used were the same. The userland tools used to keep it untethered were basically the same. The jailbreak is probably a bit different.
