Try removing Activator. What other tweaks are dependent on it? They'll also be removed. However, if you aren't afraid of some DEB hacking and you don't need to activate the given tweak via Activator, it might be possible to remove the dependency without rendering the tweak useless.
Got a tip for us?

i already removed the Activator. i dont know with what tweak it was bundled. but i removed it. i think its the BioLockDown which is killing the battery as it keeps on fingerprint censor working even if the iphone is in my pocket.
Using:
Springtomize 3
Activator
f.lux
iFile
Lockdown Pro
Zeppelin
Tabless
My battery life is excellent, a full day of use get's me down to around 50-60%
I get all my work e-mails fowarded to my iPhone all day, use it for music on the subway, and play Clash of clans extensively throughout the day.
I've never had problems with battery life to begin with when it comes to my iPhones, non-Jailbroken or jailbroken.

and i thought getting to 6 hours of usage is great (never had much more than 6h on any of my 4 iPhone generations ive used this far)
It's system status - activity monitor. You can find it on appstore. There's also lite version of it.
varies with each cycle but after 2 weeks of being jailbreaked I get 5 & a half to 7 hours of usage, really no different than it was before.
I have the big tweaks like springtomize, barrel and 77 theme along with about 10 other minor tweaks

I have more tweaks than I can count on my iPhone, Winterboard themes, themed my messages app, using zeppelin, I did notice if I don't manually activate f.lux I get barely noticeably worse battery life. I have custom fonts, the list goes on but I don't notice any bad battery life drainage
My 4S seems to die on the charger while I'm using it. It will go from 100 to 99 to 98 and the trend continues. I may restore then rejailbreak just to see if that will help. I don't think I have on any battery draining tweaks but here's a list
- Activator
- App List
- CCControls
- CCFlipTwit Flipswitch
- Classic Dock
- ClassicSwitcher (purchased)
- Couria
- Eclipse (purchased)
- iFile (free trial)
- No Percent Sign
- No Slow Animations
- StatusBarFix2
- Substrate Safe Mode
- Zeppelin
Any help is appreciated. This phone is only 3-4 weeks old with a brand new battery

At some point, iOS will automatically stop charging (when you're in the high 95%+ range) to prevent overcharging and damaging the battery
That is the same with all phones
Thanks for the heads up. My phone usually doesn't do that which is why I was concerned
Okay I should expand on what I actually do to keep this much battery life.
My Brightness is set to a 1/5 of the complete slider. Auto-brightness off.
All paralax effects are disabled.
I constantly close apps that I don't use for longer than an hour.
Activator is set to turn off 4G when using Wifi.
Never have more than 3 pages of Apps with 20 apps per page.
And I've heavely controlled which apps can enable Location Services/Refresh in the background.
Phone Auto-locks after 1 minute.
Siri and Spotlight are disabled.
Honestly, I could never use the phone to the point it would run out in a day. Even if I use it heavily.
I'd have to run 3 games consistently to achieve that kind of battery drainage.
What I forgot to mention is the "Full Charge then Drain completely" method, if you do this the first 4-6 times with your iPhone. It will increase your battery life. After that try keeping it between 20 and 80% which is optimal.

i'm already down to 64 % after 2h 50 minutes after only using whatsapp, viber and imessages for texing and occasionally looking on twitter, facebook and instagram. like i said, i got used to it ever since the old iPhone 3G days i havent gotten more than 6 hours and thought thats pretty normal

Have you tried doing what i've said? Most people just take the batterylife for granted with hundreds of apps refreshing themselves frantically in the background. Obviously it's not going to last long in these cases.
yep im pretty ocd about open apps. i always close them after use. maybe its all those messaging apps, viber has voip for example in combination with horrible phone service here
