I followed the jailbreak instructions to a t, but when redsn0w tried to reboot my iphone it just froze up and was stuck in the waiting for reboot stage. If this is doing this for you just unplug the iphone from your computer and then plug it in again while that redsn0w screen is open. it should start to reboot then. Worked for me!</p> Hey folks.

I originally jailbroke with redsn0w-win_0.7.1 and Vista Ultimate box.</p> <p>I have not had any issues. Is there any advantage to using the latest .9 version over what I have? ie. am I missing out on something?</p> Hi Folks, quick question.

I have not had any issues. Is there any advantage to using the latest .9 version over what I have? ie. am I missing out on something?

For once there is a phone that consumers love to use...alot! More Internet time, more email, more time listening to music, more watching movies, more Youtube, more gaming time, more texting time, etc. If I use my iPhone for just phone calls and light Internet use, I have no problem getting through the day with about 40% battery left at bedtime. If I play games, watch music videos, listen to music, check out Youtube, make a few tweets, read news on CNN, take a few pictures, make a couple of short videos (3GS), send some emails, and listen to music again, sure I'm about down to 10% or completely down by the late evening. I usually turn off WiFi, and keep the screen brightness down to a minimal but usable level for maximizing battery life. Sure I would love a battery that lasted for days but, given the occasional heavy use, the battery life is not bad. I love my iPhone and use it 300% more that I ever used any cell phone before. Just as a convenience, I have a USB cable for charging at work, a car charger, and a charger at home. I usually only charge my phone overnight, but, if I know I need an extra boost somewhere, I'm covered.</p> ...could this battery issue just be a consequence perhaps more unique to iPhone users.

That just proves my point even further. The "updating" issue has been a problem for over a year and nothing has been done.

You shouldn't have to keep restoring your device as new. There is a battery issue. This phone needs a bigger battery period. Case in point I went to the Apple store to get some other issue dealt with and they replaced the phone but it wasn't updated to 3.0. I asked why and the tech said they have been having battery management issues on 3.0. He said that I should keep it 2.2.1 until the next update. Houston there is a problem some of you guys really need to stop justifying this crap. They had six months to work these kinks out.</p> This battery issue is a thorn in my side.

It's a updating issue. Plain and simple and to solve the issue is to restore as a new iPhone. This has been an issue since 2.0.</p> @Joe, it is not 3.0 related at all. It's a updating issue.

That said, it isn't happening to very many people. I'm sure it's something Apple will address, but it's still only happening to a small group comparatively.</p> @Ryan it isn't caused by jailbreaking, it's caused by updating to 3.0.
