Jailbreak - a few days on.

Ol!ver · 8 Aug 2010 at 10:58

So, everyone's had a few days to play with their jailbroken iPhones - how is everyone finding it?

I haven't jailbroken my own handset for a good while, but I gave it another shot with the iP4. Loving some of the apps, but my battery life is all over the place - not sure why!

How's everyone else getting on?

I'm loving it

Downloading lots of amazing stuff!.....I have also noticed the dodgy battery life, but i do charge my phone every night so it's not too much of a problem.

My battery life went to hell. It turned out to be issh for some reason. Removed that and my battery life is back to normal.

I've never actually run out of power, as I've got chargers at work, 3 at home and one in the car!

The thing that worries me is, what the hell is the thing doing!? I mean, it's got to be processing something to use the power?

Am I being worrying muppet?

Did you install OpenSSH or had it installed itself?

double click the home button, then hold an app down on the bottom of the page, you can then turn off all the running processors which helps with battery

I've not had any issues at all over here. I last had issues back duing the OS2.x days, but through 3.x and 4.x it's been perfectly fine. I've never used SSH though - I've always used iPhone Explorer. It's a bit buggy, but does the job well.

No issues here either really. All I have installed is SBSettings, Mywi, Fiveicondock and Notified. I had Winterboard but it was a system resource hog so I got rid and speed returned back to normal.

I'm not one for mucking around too much with themes etc but so far I'm happy with my JB. Next thing to do is to install afc2add and also work out how to add custom SMS tones which is worth JB'ing for alone!!.

Battery life seems unaffected by the actual JB as far as I can tell. As long as you are sensible when it comes to multi tasking. SBSettings has a neat feature which kills running processes. And I'm using Battery Doctor to complete Full Cycle Charges on a regular basis.

I loving jailbreak and wouldn't go back.

LockInfo and Infinifolder is worth the jailbreak alone, Infinifolder now up to version 1.1 and there are no speed issues with putting loads of apps within a folder.

Also managed to get Flash working on my browser.

Not really having any battery issues, but I do charge it every night so might not of noticed.

Loving it. Lockinfo is fantastic, SBsettings is incredibly useful, Frash, whilst buggy as hell atm, shows a lot of promise, and I can see apps like WiFi Sync, infinidock, PwnTunes and My3G being very useful.

Loving the Frash post - agreed a tad buggy but it works in the majority of cases.
