Or any one have a fix?

There we go - first confirmation on what I was trying to confirm in other thread.
Yes, this looks like the issue with several users that I've seen on dev team blog reporting the same problem.
Another one that keeps popping out lately - no GPS signal.

I don't rly use my gps, so not a big deal but this batt drain is brutal... Hope this is going to be able to get resolved:S I think it has something to do with a constant search for service or something.. Not sure

i made an account just to second that problem... serioulsy my batteries droping close to 10% per hour. Im with bell so i Keep 3G on all the time but still... i hope we get a fix soon, cuz i cant make it thru the day w/o a functioning phone

Why are you guys suspecting it's Ultrasnow and not because of the new baseband?

Battery drain after Ultrasn0w on updated baseband

go to that link it explains what we think is going on, no nott the unlock itself, but the hactivation process

Well that's typical battery drain for a 3GS

Are you constantly using it or is it just sitting in your pocket is the real question

[Philly001]

Yea so it looks like if your phone is hacktivated which mine was.. It will demolish your battery. Last night I reloaded everything and used a friends sim to properly activate my phone and voilą, battery problem gone

K nvrmind my battery is still gettin owned and I've located he problem it is my Internet tethering the little circle thing keeps spinning and I can't press it to turn it off it's messed up anyone else having this problem and anyone find a solution to turning it off?

See the other topic on the front page about this

Battery drain after Ultrasn0w on updated baseband

Could a mod merge the topics to cut down on the redundancy?

[BenderRodriguez]

Bump

I'm sure they could but I don't see any mods in this thread

"sherif_hashim: When I said I posted about the battery drainage issue, I meant in the comments of the dev team blog post: http://pastie.org/1335698"

when i first rejbed and unlocked the phone i thought there was something majorly wrong with the software to drain the battery that fast

but then i looked through my settings and realized the process had reactivated the notifications

turned them off, battery has been able to hold a good charge for 2 days so far with constant txting

Ok so I have an official sim

Can I just put it in the phone and let it sit in there for a few hours or do I have to restore 4.2.1 again? I don't remember there being a hacktivate checkbox when I ran redsn0w so I think it auto hacktivated it.
