hi everybody
my battery was running out of juice very quickly (6-8hours max) so i replaced it with the a battery bought at ifixit but the problem persist, it runs out of juice in 7h regardless of how i use( even if i don't use it all night it is dead in the morning)though it recharges very quickly 30min.
please help.
Is this a good question?

I have not seen ifixit's battery that they are distributing in person (images look very much like the ones I have been using successfully), but I have seen a number of smaller batteries being put in to replace their dying, oem counterparts.
Perhaps shoot them an email inquiring about a replacement? It's not unheard of for batteries to be bad, and it's not easily tested until regular use.
Was this answer helpful?
i am pretty sure the problem is not with the new battery, i think its a software issue.

Hi
I wonder if you have upgraded your 3G to the newest iOS ?
They have stopped supporting 3G in the newest (4.3) iOS, which CAN, but not have to, mean that they focuse less on battery-saving processing in the 3G.
I have experienced the same thing as you, and I just concluded with that Apple wants me to buy a new iPhone 4 (which I did).

your right apple probably wants me to buy a new phone. :(

I would recommend to downgrade to 3.1.X, which is the most stable version for 3G.

i'd agree with shai..3.1 is good the 4.x.x is a whole heap of trouble
