mobilesubstrate- still drains battery?

[declandio]

Good morning

I have a JB'd iPhone4, only reason for JB is so that I can do the tethering hack. Never been interested in installing anything from Cydia but I'm tempted to try out biteSMS, which will then install mobilesubstrate.

I read some time ago that mobilesubstrate was the source of poor battery performance, and that downgrading it fixed the problem.

If I were to install the current version of biteSMS, will the version of mobilesubstrate that will install with it still need downgrading? If so, to which version?

Cheers....

 

[this is funah]

on 4.0.1 and 4.1, i decided to downgrade my mobilesubstrate version due to an apparent but unproven battery drain. i did notice a difference in doing this.

however, with 4.2.1 combined with a recently updated version of mobilesubstrate, there is no apparent difference in battery performance, so i would definitely try it out.

Cool, thanks for that...
