battery percentage icon on 3g after update

[woolymammoth]

so i updated my 3g to 3.0.1. and afterwards i noticed that my battery percentage was still there after the update. has this happened to anyone else?

Did you have a jailbroken iPhone before you updated to 3.0?

 

[woolymammoth]

no i actually just jailbroke my phone a couple days ago and i was already on 3.0

woolymammoth,

I can go one better 🙂

My 3G is not jail-broken. This is what mine looks like after 3.0.1 update.

(Must confess that it was jail-broken at one time. My "AT&T" change and Battery % change stayed after I had "un-jailbroken" it.)

 

[woolymammoth]

well that definately one ups me😛

That's because the iPhone updates don't replace any of those files that stay the same when doing a routine update. In order to get rid of these left behind "tweaks" you have to do a DFU restore.

Nifty to know.

-ponders evil things-


Suppose one over-wrote the defaults for which of the (non-shown) applications show on the springboard via jailbreak and then updated, think those apps would stay shown on legit SW?

Thanks. I did know that. I chose to just do a restore when I removed the jailbreak. I wish some of the other tweaks had stayed too but those appear to be the only two. 🙂
