iPhone 4 battery update
Big difference here. With the old ultrasn0w I was going from 100 % to about 88% in about a 8 hour period on standby.
Now, with the recent updated ultrasn0w, from 100% to -get this- 8 hours and 53 mins later, I'm still at 100% w/ 3 mins usage and Wi-Fi on. Restarted the phone, not a glitch. 100% after 8 plus hours on standby with the latest ultrasn0w.

All right, don't have any hard #'s or %'s for you, but anecdotal evidence says the ultrasn0w update fixed the battery drain for me. I've been almost 2 full days on a 100% charge and I'm just now approaching 6% left with light browsing, mail, camera, texting, notifications, location, wifi, 3G, you name it. After this charge fully drains, I'll fully charge and will have some more accurate #'s but I am one happy JB iPhone owner 🙂.
Oh and pre-update, overnight (6-8 hrs) I would lose 15-20%, I am now only losing 3-5%.

So, just found this thread (good thing I didn't post another)
I have a 3gs, 3.1.3., and did the JBM jailbreak. I have only till now installed sbssettings, backgrounder and categories.
When nothing is running in the background, meaning it hasn't been activated, I do seem to suffer some in the battery dept. I haven't tested the non usage usage, but
Can just the resident memory use of something like sbssettings really drain the battery that much?
