What's your version of horrible?
Your post lacks information, but the average seems to be 5-7 hrs total with mix usage.

none really, just regular app store apps. i think i got sbssettings or w/e thats really it.
my battery drains like crazy, i mean this isnt how the battery is supposed to be. if i use it sparingly during the day then when i get home the battery will be at 20%. if i dont use it period and let it sit , it gets down to about 40-45% without usage.
That is indeed very unusual. Do you use a navigation app by chance? Not removing it from the multitask bar can really ruin your battery life when it comes to big apps like that.
if you havent already done so, the obvious would be to turn off push mail, turn down screen brightness and if you have it...get rid of winterboard.
i dont have winterboard, my brghtness is medium and has always been so my screen isnt bright at all.
also i dont use navigation, the only app i frequently use is facebook.
How could he get a replacement when hes voided his warranty by jailbreaking and unlocking. He would first need to do a full restore before going into apple, which would likely fix the issue.
Well, jailbroken iPhone 4s still shouldn't have that bad of a battery life methinks.
Unless he's doing something that he's not mentioning or unless his phone is doing something behind his back.
It sounds like you dont know much about your jailbreak. Id guess you have something running in the background or your mobile substrate add-ons are causing a conflict. Would you have any idea what add-ons you have? Go into SBSettings and check, if you dont know.
Hmmm...that's funny, I get great battery life. Oh yeah, that's right, my phone's not jailbroken. I guess you get what you pay for.
like i said i have nothing else running, i dont use too much stuff on my phone and dont customize.
i remember a big thread with this happening to other people and doing something but dont remember.
