My iPhone 3GS have been jailbroken with ipwnage tool since last july. yep - that's july 2009.
I am currently on firmware 3.1.2
I have never had battery issues until lately (a few days ago).
I realized that my battery life depletes a lot faster than usual.
(i.e. down to 50% within 1 - 2 hours without doing anything specific) * i can literally see the percentage going down every minute or so.
(i used to be able to last whole day without any problems)
I am a careful user. I have bluetooth, GPS and wifi constantly switched off when i am out. no push for any mail accounts and brightness at 10% (with auto brightness ticked)
As for jailbroken apps I have:
- winterboard + Glasklart theme
- boss paper
- five icon dock
- blue fire battery (battery mod)
- SBSettings + built in toggles + 1 SBSettings theme
- Quick Reply for SMS
- Poof
- OpenSSH
- MakeItMine
and thats it.

as to why it randomly started depleting at such extreme rate lately..
i can only think of one major change i've made throughout the past few days..
since it was revision period so i played with my phone a lot.. (sigh, typical student)
and i launched Cydia for the first time in a long while..
and realized that there were a lot of updates.. (like 6..)
and since i was bored i decided to upgrade all of them.
I am not sure as to whether this may have caused the problem.
Obviously, I have also installed 3rd party apps.. but they are mainly games (i.e. We Rule) and random apps that don't really do anything.
I have no multitasking apps.. i.e. backgrounder.. or anything like that.
Anybody has any idea what is causing the battery life issue?
It's a pain in the arse. and im often super worried when i am out -___-
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thank you guys! xoxo
P.S. I really shouldn't have updated anything on Cydia since everything worked like a charm to begin with
P.P.S. sorry for such a long ... 'question'. i tried to explain my problem with minimal words. .... fail i guess.
