Hi. I used 8.1.2 with some tweaks and charge my iphone 5s once a day. Now I should do it twice. I have 0-5% in 5pm. But tweaks are the same. My friend have the same trouble. I tried to delete springtomise, enable reduce motion, etc.

Now I use "Near lock" and Spark. But it only last 3 days, and I see a faster drains from first day after upgrade to 8.3.

People seem to find xcon draining a lot of battery. It might even be more excessive now if it wasn't updated to properly support iOS 8.3/8.4

With all the same jailbreaks I had on 8.1.2, 8.4 significantly IMPROVED my battery life.

Just another perspective (64gb iP6)...
 
well i used 8.1.2 (jailbroken) and 8.3 (non-jailbroken) and i have to say 8.3's battery life was way way better.
 
I read many times that 8.3 has a better battery life, but I and my fried can not say so (
 
I will try to use without xCon and some other tweaks. May be you have an another ideas?
 
Something strange: "locationd" takes most of all CPU time. More than 10 hours and eat 0.1-0.4% Cpu constantly (even disabled in Settings)
 
So, I delete this tweaks and it looks like my battery time improved:

8.3 jailbroken battery life seems better overall compared to 8.1.2. Considering 8.4, but, as the saying goes,"if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
 
It's unbelievable but my iPhone still drain battery very fast. I think the main reason is HiddenConvos tweak
 
Ok, guys. I need your help.

Yesterday I tried to unload every launched apps after using it and get a very good time. Today I did not do it and my battery drains 2x times faster. How is it possible? Most usage app is messages.

I got an LG G4 last week so I wasn't using my iPhone much so I wanted to see what was using the battery in the background. I charged it to full and left it for 24 hours to see how much it used. It was connected to wifi all the time with both 4g and Bluetooth turned on. I didn't use the phone at all in the 24 hours.image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg
