    Question My battery life. Good or bad?

    So far today I have 43 minutes of usage (just listening to music) and 93% battery life remaining. Thats with EQ set to flat, 3G/WiFI/Bluetooth/Location Services off and EDGE on. No SSH, no Winterboard, just iBlacklist and Status Notifier.

    Listening to music will drain it faster certainly. Turning the screen off while listening will help out (click the power button once or twice).

    Yeah, I keep the screen off when its playing.

    Thanks for easing my mind.

    I listen to music most of the day at work so I was just making sure the battery wasn't draining faster than it would normally w/o being jailbroken.

    I'm not sure that setting your EQ to flat will enhance battery life, probably quite the opposite. Turning it off will extend battery life, and improve the sound quality
