Odd, it doesn't affect me at all. My battery level stays within 1-2% of what it was after leaving it on standby overnight for ~8 hours, and that's with WiFi left enabled and connected.

Hmm, the only way I could get voicemail and passcode locking working was to restore to factory, set everything up from scratch and sync again. Guess I'll have to start Plunderland again! (Unless anyone knows a way to restore save data for a single app?)

Starting to have some issues with it now on my 3GS, SBsettings messed up 3G so whenever I turned it off and then on again using it it would display 'no signal' and battery life seems to be reduced considerably.

It's not actually.
I can turn things on and off on the home screen, or in an application. It's a very, very useful app, it however needs to be polished.
I regularly turn WiFi off and sometimes turn 3G off and holding the power button down for 2 seconds, brings up SBSettings and tap to turn on/off. Quick, easy, simple. Farrr easier than closing the app, or unlocking the phone and loading settings, going through to the relevant section etc takes time.
LockInfo is what the lock screen SHOULD be like, the stupid blue notifications are ugly and largely useless. Now I have:
6 day weather forecast
Missed Calls
Texts
Emails
Shame it seems to suck battery power.
I find it useful just to turn things on and off quick or brightness. I guess one of the best benefits then of jb is what we were taking bout in mail
.You can do all that in settings and it really doesn't take that long to adjust brightness, turn things on and off etc.
I just don't see the point in having an app running constantly just for those features eating ram.
I mean, how often do you adjust the brightness?
I've set mine at 50% and it never moves. As for respring/reboot/turn off why not use the dedicated buttons on the iPad?
I don't turn WiFi off nor do I turn 3G off. They constantly stay on!When im at home it auto picks up my wifi network and when im out and about 3G automatically kicks in. Nor do I turn my iPad off so what's the need for SBsettings?
I suppose its helpful if you turn things on/off often but I NEVER turn any of my iPad features off so I don't see a need for it.
Its OK, ive finally been able to get my phone back to 3.1.3
I had to stick Windows XP on a virtual machine to get iREB to kick it out of the recovery loop but at last its back to running properly again.
The only crapper is it wouldnt restore my old phone so I have had to set it up as a new phone, will take me a hour or 2 to get it to how I had it but at least I wont have the 10 sec wait until I can text etc.
Wont be upgrading the IOS again anytime soon, not until I hear nothing but good things about 3g speed anyways.
There is an easier way to restoring to a previous iOS
1. Download the 3.1.3 firmware
2. Put your device into DFU mode (not recovery mode).
* Connect your iPhone to your computer.
* Turn iPhone off.
* Start iTunes.
* Hold Power and Home buttons together for 10 seconds or so.
* Release Power button but keep holding the Home button until your computer recognizes a new USB device.
* iTunes will now recognize your iPhone.
3. Edit the host file so iTunes does not look at the Apple servers and instead looks at Cydia servers where your SHSH is saved. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ and locate “hosts” file.
* Open this “hosts” file in Notepad and add this
74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com
4. Hold "shift" and the click restore and point it to the downloaded file
5. Hit start and sit back and enjoy
I did it last week to restore my iPad to 3.2 instead of 3.2.1.

I never turn off so i don't have a need for that. and wi-fi generally don't bother either.
I have been changing brightness the last few days as my eyes have been weird and i need it lower... ill also lower it if im reading. But i guess its not all that useful for the memory it uses (if its much)

Ive goto say theres a lot of cydia apps that dont work with iphone 4 which makes me think whats the point.
Just uninstalled Quickreply. Paid for it. Claimed to work with iOS4 which it does but they didn't mention it makes your phone laggy as hell and makes it hang when you try and open your message folder sometimes. I've yet to find anything really that good yet it just weakens/slowsdown/ the OS or decreases the battery life.
Yeah quite a few of the apps on cydia are buggy as hell. To be expected really.
One thing that really bugged me was I bought MyWi (I think that's what it's called). Worked great. But then if you upgraded to 4.0 you had to buy it again. What a swizz. First and last time I buy a underground app.

Jailbreaking an iPhone 4 is not really worth it at the moment.
Most descent Cydia apps are not optimised for it and are buggy.
iOS 4.0 means the underground jailbreaking scene have to redo most things because in the words of Apple: "This changes everything, Again"

Agreed with photoshop, its only been 2/3 days since the iPhone 4 has been jailbroken. Give it some time so the developers can update and optimize the apps for ISO4.
Also agreed. This is why I waited on JB'ing my phone any earlier. It's easy to over-expect too much from the JB scene without realising how much work devs have to do just to get their apps to behave with iOS4.x.
A lot of quality themes won't even be reworked for the retina display for example, because it is too much work for most. Apps like LockInfo and SBSSettings though will always be in development. Patience people.

Have a look at macthemes forum, some of the themes are already being updated for iPhone 4. Just have a look at Suave HD and you'll know what I mean.
