    I was replacing a bad battery in a 3GS last week, I bought a replacement battery, I also had to do a restore, to 5.1.1, kept getting error 29, I then put the bad battery back in and restored ok, jailbroke and was already on iPad baseband, it's a 3GS new bootrom, the battery seemed to charge better after the restore and works, but shuts off a couple of times a day.

    Does anybody know if I now with the 3GS running will I have a problem if I now put it into the 3GS, don't want to pull it all apart again to find some f-up because it ain't apple oem, I bought it from above shop^^^^^^

    are you sure everything is connected properly? check it again to make sure, maybe the screen ribbon isn't sitting right or something silly like that

    Just noticed the replacement battery is APN 616-0435 while the original is APN616-0433..Would this make any difference to an early batch 3gs?Thanks again for the help...

    i think its just the newer 3gs' that have the problem but that sounds like a faulty battery
