    Default IPhone 3GS Battery Question!!!???

    I have a 32 GB 3GS Iphone unlocked and jailbroken through Tmobile. I have had it for almost a month now and I bought it brand new. Lately I have been noticing the battery dieing very quickly. I cant even make it close to a full day anymore without having to charge it. I took it off the charger today at 1030, had class all day so I didnt use it much and now at 3:30 its at less then 20% battery.

    I reset the setting last night thinking that might of been it, but it's still dieing quite quickly. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to prevent it from dieing so quick? Its really annoying that I cant go even 8 hours without having to charge it. THANKS to anyone who can help me... its greatly appreciated.

    interesting. did you remember to quit the radio application? because if it streams radio all the time or even tries to stream radio that can kill your battery!

    Which radio thing does that? Is it an app? Are there any more tips on how to save my battery or does the battery just suck after a month? Thanks!

    There is a radio app called iHeartradio that plays various ClearChannel stations from across the US. This could be the one he is talking about.

    You should've read Poseidon link. What you have to do is restore your phone, the key is when itunes ask you to restore either 1. as new 2. or a back up profile. "Important" choose set up as new. Dont freak out everything still transfers over. Theres something crossing somewhere that doesnt work right. I had the same problem and that corrected it right away.
