The latest ultrasn0w 1.2 unlock for iOS 4.2.1 requires baseband upgrade to 06.15.00 using PwnageTool 4.1.3 (unlock edition) jailbreak tool. This has been known to cause aggressive battery drainage for many iPhone 3G and 3GS users. Also, there are reports of iPhone becoming excessively hot when in use after applying the ultrasn0w 1.2 unlock. @Sherif_Hashim, one of the brains behind the recent ultrasn0w release, has addressed this issue and has provided a temporary fix to resolve this iPhone 3G/ 3GS battery drainage issue.

Let’s face it, the battery life of any iPhone model is awful. Even the new iPhone 4 won’t last as long in the hands of a power user such as myself. It’s quite rare that by the end of the day I’m left with even 5% of battery on my iPhone 4. In fact, I have to recharge my iPhone at least twice in a 24 hour cycle. That does not include charging on-the-go via car charger or during a periodic iTunes sync. The need is even more when I’m traveling between cities especially when not in my own car, which does have the USB device charging kit installed. Thus, I had to look up a battery solution for my iPhone, especially something that could last at least an 8-10 hour trip on the road.
