Say I use pewnage on my iPhone, and than load that version of software / firmware on my phone, does that increase the number of services running on the device? to where it would shorten battery life ?

I did not see anything relating to this when I did a search , so sorry if this has been asked before.

Michael:rolleyes:
 
I think that the only thing that would do this, is if you download something that runs in the background, and you do not turn it off.

For example, SSH will continue to search for a host if it is left activated, and that will drain your battery.

I'm new to this though, so perhaps someone else can chime in and substantiate what I've said. :)
