    has anyone noticed that their battery is not as good since jailbreaking. I going to do a full restore and try again see if it improves it.

    Was getting about 2 days before, now only 1 day. Maybe im playing with it more.

    Yea i think its a mixed opinion on it, i know i upgraded to 4.0 on my itouch and the battery was brutal so i downgraded to 3.1.3 again and JB it again, so its much better.

    Other forum i am on has alot of americans on it and they are hell bent on JB's, and they complain alot about the battery power for 4.0

    I think on IOS4 the WIFI is constantly on, so even if you lock it, the WIFI is still going. Also multi tasking eats up the battery.

    I think the jailbroken phone as full on multi-tasking.

    I turned off ssh and that seemed to make it a bit better.

    I have noticed a drop in battery life, but I have not investigated it yet, as I am running a few jb apps such as lockinfo, 3g unrestrictor etc.
    Will un-install some of them and see what the difference is.
