THe phone may drain 1% during the night when its locked so I know there is nothign running in the background but battery is draining fast when on 2G (3G turned off in settings) tonight a 45 minute phone call drained the battery 10%. I had full signal so not sure what the issue is at all. The battery had been calibrated today and it ran completly down this morning so I thought I would do a full cycle charge.

My phone is jailbroken on 4.3.2 - Previously had winterboard installed and using some themes - this was causing terrible drain when I was using the phone on the internet etc so I removed winterboard last night...

Now when I use the internet on the phone it is draining at a rate that I would expect, about 1% every 3 minutes which is reasonable over 3G but on 2G according to battery doctor (and speaking to apple) I should get 15 hours talk time on 2G with 84% battery level... clearly not at the rate its currently discharging during a call.

So tonight I have uninstalled everything from Cydia and left a couple of things on there such as My3G.

Tonight when I was making the phone call I had the following installed on Cydia:

ACTIVATOR
APPSYNC 4.0
APT 0.7 HTTPS METHOD
BATTERYDETECTIVE
BBC IPLAYER
BIGBOSS ICON SET
CYDIA INSTALLER
CYDIA TRANSLATIONS
ERICA UTILITIES
MOBILE SUBSTRATE
MY3G
REPO ICONS
SBSETTINGS
SOURCE GUI
WIFI ANALYZER

I have now removed activator and SB settings... what could be causing this?

Have I to reinstall cydia installer through Cydia?
