iPhone Major battery drain and display issue. Please help :(

Might help to have a list of what's installed.

 

This is just my opinion, but personally I think you are trying to avoid the realization that your iPhone has been damaged more than you initially thought. Your battery is probably damaged, your screen certatinly was.

If the battery was damaged, no amount of trying to do what you are trying to do is going to rectify that. Only replacement. The problem you have now is that if your iPhone was still under warranty you most certainly voided it if the screen replacement was not done by Apple or an authorized Apple dealer. I suspect it wasn't because testing your iPhone would have beeen something Apple would have done and if your battery was faulty they would have found it.

You may still be eligible for an out of warranty replacement, but considering that your screen may not be a genuine Apple screen (as I also suspect based on your second problem) I'm not sure how far you'll get with Apple on that.

 

That quarter screen issue can be several different things. It happens to me and the cause is the Flex Beta but the only apps affected are Twitter and Cydia. Any time my phone is rebooted (or turned off) this happens 100% of the time. For me to fix it, I have to disable the flex Mobile Substrate addon and respring. This issue you're having is without a doubt related to a tweak or a couple tweaks conflicting. If you do some searching you can find other tweaks which cause this. I can't remember off the top of my head.

Regarding your battery, either the battery is bad and needs to be replaced or you have some tweak or combination of tweaks running wild or your iCloud/email accounts are messed up. Have you tried using your phone in safe mode for a day or two to see if it's any better? You should also install battery detective (pro?) and check to see what it's capacity is at. How old is the device?

 

The 1/4 screen issue can be fixed by going to safe-mode and there after respring or reboot.

Battery issues might be solved by booting into safe-mode with vloume-up and power and seeing if any apps are active. Afterwards reboot.

Also logout off icloud/imessage/facetime as they are also causes of battery-drains.

To complete remove jb non-essential JB apps use ILEX RAT.
That will only leave the basis.

 

You're very welcome. Glad I could help.

Personally, I don't think your battery is bad. I think you have some conflicting tweaks. Can you post a list of your installed tweaks? You can use AppInfo to create the list if you want.

 

Or jail breaking is the source of the issue. Many folks have mentioned battery killing tweaks so that could be that.

 

Why are you here if you believe that or if jailbreaking is objectionable to you?

Are you some sort of anti-jailbreak saviour among us here to convince us of the error of our ways?

 

I don't think he's saying the jailbreak itself is the cause but some tweaks which might be running wild and as a result, killing the battery. I might be wrong though.

OP, have you had a chance to run the "top" command in terminal to see if there are any processes which are using an insane amount of CPU? You might have a runaway process that's constantly sucking up CPU cycles and killing your battery. If you need guidance on how to use this just let me know. I can help.

 

I use battery detective to see which tweaks use how much power, better than battery doctor.

Also you might wanna try icleaner pro, it will get rid of all the junk.

 

Defensive much aren't you.

I never said that jail breaking is evil etc like you seem to think I did. Read what I wrote and not what you want to think was there. I merely said there are reports of some tweaks draining the battery. So the issue might not be the battery but the jailbreak. It is a valid item to consider.

 

Battery detective is correct. I always incorrectly say battery doctor lol. Good call.

You need to install it from Cydia first. You might have to change your settings to Developer in order to see it. When you run it in terminal, type in "top -u" without the quotations and it'll sort the processes by CPU usage. Very useful command! It should be a staple for every jailbreaker.

 

I probably am.

I did Perhaps I am cutting too fine a line on it, but you chose the words you used, not me.

I'm sorry, but what am I not understanding? You said twice that the issue might be caused by the jailbreak itself. That's an entirely DIFFERENT thing than saying the issue might be caused by jailbreak TWEAKS.

I'm not trying to start a fight and if I have, I apologize. But when I hear the word "Jailbreak" I don't automatically associate it to mean "jailbreak tweak."

 

But the solution is not running ILEX only. You need to clean that up and don't install again all the things you have now. That's the solution.

And not directing this to the OP but...

I keep telling this in every thread exactly like that here. People start installing everything they can find on Cydia and from suspicious sources and come here to ask for help because their devices are not working properly.

Having a jailbreak doesn't mean you can install ALL of the cydia tweaks/apps. One thing is not related to the other.

 

I'm not sure if I can help you with that since I used it during the earliest versions which didn't have an UI behind, it was accessed only by terminal.
The best you can do is find the "official" thread about ILEX here, probably on this very first page, and ask there.

The dev is always available. Good luck, mate.

 

Don't install numerous tweaks and apps that do the same things, and don't install cracked tweaks and apps.
