iOS 4.3.1 Makes iPhone Overheating, Here’s How to Fix it

According to Apple discussion that iOS 4.3.1 is causing some iPhones to overheat and short battery lifetime. Many users are saying that battery life on iPhone has decreased dramatically, and it will occasionally overheat while in use.

Here's what they said at Apple discussion:

My iPhone 4 for the last few days has started to get very hot in use and the battery is gone very bad. Leaving the phone on standby can see the battery drain nearly 20% in an hour. This is gone to the stage where I have to turn it off at times just to save battery during the day. It only began to happen when I updated to iOS 4.3. I updated to iOS 4.3.1 yesterday and it still has the same issues. Anyone else having the same problem?

Some users adviced to disable Exchange mail accounts to turn off notifications of apps and etc. Actually the solution is quite simple than all these advices.

There is a big chance that some corruption may be occurred while restoring your iPhone from a backup, which makes your iPhone consuming the battery and overheated. Simply you can fix this issue by restoring your iPhone as new instead of from backup. Sure this will be much longer to re-sync contacts, apps and etc, but it will fix your overheating and battery life issues.

Redsn0w 0.9.6rc12 iOS 4.3.1 Untethered Jailbreak Released , Boot Animation Issue Fixes

Few minutes ago the iPhone dev-team has just released Redsn0w 0.9.6rc12 to jailbreak iOS 4.3.1 on all devices except iPad 2. But Redsn0w 0.9.6rc12 released to fix any lingering issues with the boot animation.

 

What's new in Redsn0w 0.9.6rc12:

Those running redsn0w may have noticed we enabled too many Settings options in some versions of the jailbreak (for instance, what you want your side switch to do, even if you have no side switch because you’re not using an iPad). Release rc10 rc12 of redsn0w corrects that (you can just run it over your existing jailbreak…be sure to de-select Cydia to avoid package conflicts).

Along the way, we’ve also added the option to enable boot animations…these animations can be installed via Cydia, but be sure to select which animation to use via the Settings->Bootlogo setting after you’ve downloaded an animation (and again, you can just run rc10 rc12 over your existing jailbreak…be sure to de-select Cydia to avoid package conflicts).

(The boot animation we tested against was “Android Boot Logo”. It correctly installs all the dependencies needed to run the animation at each boot).

Follow our previous guide posted here to use Redsn0w 0.9.6rc12 to jailbreak iOS 4.3.1 on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad for Windows and Mac.

Note: for who rely on ultrasn0w unlock please stay away from Redsn0w and iOS 4.3.1 until the dev-team fix the ultrasn0w on iOS 4.3.1.

Chronic Dev Team Gives Final Touches to iPad 2 Jailbreak with GreenPois0n on iOS 4.3.1 /4.3.2!

Some great news for hose who are having an iPad 2 and were waiting t Jailbreak it. Many tools came out an none supported iPad 2. iPad 2 was missed by every tool because Comex Exploit was patched in iOS 4.3.1 by Apple. but one tool wasn’t updated till now and never came out with the Untethered Jailbreak.
The well known member of Chronic Dev team, Joshua Hill aka p0sixninja confirmed via twitter, since the release of iOS 4.3.1 untethered jailbreak. They start focusing on finishing the iPad 2 jailbreak exploit and iPad 2 jailbreak will come in the new version of GreenPois0n.

Since 4.3.1 is already exploited by the legendary@ i0n1c, we’re working on finishing iPad2 jailbreak now.

This time they didn’t say anything about the release of the iPad 2 Jailbreak. This is also not confirmed that whether the Jailbreak will be Tethered or Untethered. They might have fixed the SHAtter Exploit because they had to announce some huge changes for the chronic Dev Team. They might held the SHAtter Exploit back and release it after iOS 5 is out.
The expectations are that they will be using i0nic’s Untethered Exploit to make them work on iPad 2.  i0nic’s Untethered Exploit will be patched in upcoming iOS 4.3.2.
Apple is still onto the cat and mouse game.
