Eh idunno, those numbers look pretty similar to mine... Again, I havnt NOTICED worse battery drain since jailbreaking, maybe took a little hit when updated to ios8. Think some testing may be in line!

Mine has definitely taken a hit on battery drain since jailbreaking. I keep a close eye on it.. I'm randomly removing certain tweaks for a day or so to try and track down any particularly big offenders.

Check out batterylife or detailedbatteryusage if you haven't already


I jailbroke mine as soon as I got it and the battery hasn't been lasting me as long as I was hoping and hearing from others. I do run a lot of tweaks though.

My battery feels worse and I only have f.lux, DetailedBatteryUsage, and NoSlowAnimations.

Is there an alternative to infinidock that works on the 6+ in landscape mode?

I guess I can just wait for it to be updated, but figured I might as well check.

1.1.0 loader is currently installed on mine, but I think it was upgraded in Cydia after I originally jailbroke.

My battery life has been great, if not better after jailbreaking. It's not the jailbreak.

What device? There are a lot of variables between thousands of devices with tons of different tweaks/apps. My battery life on my jailbroken iOS 7 on an iPhone 5 was outstanding, and my usage has not changed to this new i6.

Gonna check out springtomize 3. It's usually a ton of features I never use but whatever. It's $3 but free if you had 2. $2 for me since I had the first one I think?

Ahh, charging for updates, a prominent reason not to pay for Cydia packages.

This upgrade has been significantly less awful than 6->7.

Really looking forward to/hoping for tweaks for the hey Siri function. I assume it's only while plugged in because it chugs power listening for the magic words, but turning it on at certain times would be handy.

Detailed battery usage is awesome. Lack of updated background manager is not. The latter is fairly vital in my efforts to keep the tumblr app from making GBS threads itself if I look at anything else, as is ifile to cull its hilariously bloated cache usage.

Dude Cydia packages are like $2-3 usually are you serious? Only the big ones are $10-15 like bitesms and tethering poo poo

And it's free if you had the last version

Like stick it to the man all you want but this is little individual developers and poo poo that make good stuff and I have no problem supporting them with 3 $1 burritos from Taco Bell

I mean lol

And it's not like this exact same 'issue' isn't in the regular App Store--at least there's the ability to discount upgrades to previous owners.

I will analyze your nervous system for beer money
The Sprintomize dev deserves none of your money, because the tweak is exactly the same as it was when he first released it for iOS 7 like a year ago, charged people for it while simultaneously saying 'new stuff is coming', and then no new stuff ever did come.

If you buy Springtomize, it will get maybe 1 feature update before iOS 9 hits. It will definitely get bug updates after too many people start to complain that the tweak is destructive to battery life, or isn't compatible with other, better tweaks. Also, I'm pretty sure the dev only updated the package to make it compatible with iOS 8 so the Cydia store would let him sell it again to a new bunch of rubes.

Moral is, get HideMe8 instead.

iPhone 6 on 8.1

Looks like I purchased TetherMe too long ago to get the TetherMe for iOS8+ for free. Should I consider other tethering apps? I'm on Sprint, so not as at risk of being caught as AT&T unlimited data customers.

And the extensive list of tethering apps include:
  • TetherMe ($3. Uses native hotspot feature. Only method of obscuring tethering is to change the APN?)
  • MyWi (why is this $20? Does not obscure tethering?)
  • PDANet ($16. Standalone app not the native hotspot. Data uses phone APN, can request mobile webpages. Changes User-Agent string of tethering traffic to iOS Safari?)

Am I missing anything?

I bought TetherMe again. It's cheap and has always worked reliably. It enables native tethering and also supports the new instant hotspot feature in Yosemite. Minimal, effective and cheap.

Is it common for AdBlocker / AdBlocker 2 to straight up prevent an entire web page from being displayed? Take addresses.com for example. It won't load at all in Safari when the ad blocker is enabled.

Other than whitelisting each page that suffers from this problem, am I missing something? This happens on more than two different iOS devices.

Yeah happens to me to. Wonder if it's the website detecting the Adblock and not loading. If come across this on pc before where it gives an error or a warning.

It's been happening for a year or more, including both versions of AdBlocker. Chrome on iOS has the same problem when added to the Enabled list.

Windows Chrome/FF with ABP have no such problem, so it sucks that some sites just straight hang with AdBlocker 1/2.

Jailbroken iOS 8.1 6+ user and no changes to my battery life. I don't have a ton of crazy poo poo installed from Cydia but I can give a run down later.

Also I've had the Adblocker preventing webpages from being displayed before.

I'm not sure if it's updated for iOS 8, but if you install "Hosts File Flipswitch" you could toggle it off temporarily while visiting an affected website.

It probably still works from iOS 7.

Add http://repo.rpdev.info/ and there are an assortment of betterFive* tweaks compatible with iOS8.

Infinidock works on iOS 8.1. It's not five icons, though. It just lets you put as many icons as you want and scroll through the dock.
