Many users reported that the battery life dropped to an average rate of five percent every hour.Ultrasn0w 1.0-1 is a tool that unlocks iPhone 4, iPhone 3G, and iPhone 3GS to make them compatible with any mobile carrier.

An iPhone user reported that his battery life noticeably dropped even on standby mode after he unlocked it. He said he didn’t make a call or used it for other applications but the battery still showed almost drained.
