    Default since 4.2.1 JB my iPhone 4 battery BLOWS!

    does anyone else have this issue?

    is it my phone or is it the jailbreak?

    like i havent used my phone at all today except for 10 minutes i was taking pictures with hipstamatic and my battery is at 64%

    and the last 2 days it went down to 20% just being in my pocket at work!!

    this only started happening since the 4.2.1 jailbreak


    im pist!

    I havent noticed any extra battery drain after jailbreaking mine. Maybe it something you installed.

    May be something else then. Did you restore from backup last time you restored?
