Anyone notice you cant turn off battery showing while charging? With the last version, i was able to hide the battery completely and show just the number.

When i toggle battery on and off or percentage it just toggles the number on and off, it doesnt actually turn off the battery icon.

Other than that, works great..

In version 1.0.x, I was listening for notifications and based on some anecdotal evidence, it seemed to drain the battery a little faster. I removed that code in favor of some more efficient battery reading methods. There was no scientific proof of battery drain, though. That’s why I said “potential” battery drain.

Has anyone faced significant battery drain on their 3gs/3.0/32gb/redsn0w0.8/ultrasn0w0.91-1 ???

I didnt know what was causing the battery drain coz i had turned off all services like wifi/ssh/3g/edge/bluetooth

I had also turned off push and notifications but still the drain was constant and i noticed the drain when in sleep/lock mode.

My brand new 3gs used to last only 2 days after very little usage per day (like a few phone calls 15mins of wifi and 15mins of gameplay)

Now when i read the below bug fix of 1.1 of battery control, i am wondering if the drain was eventually battery control or not:

- Fixed some potential battery drain issues.

Can anyone plz confirm the above?

Thanx, in advance.
