Battery

This tweak plays an alert tone when your iPhone’s battery charges to 100%

Whenever I’m in a rush to charge my iPhone’s battery up, it’s not uncommon for me to frequently check the charge level as it sits on my wireless charger. I would assume this curiously-driven urge stems from the fact that the iPhone doesn’t make any effort to let me know when it’s fully charged.

If you’re in the same or a similar boat, then you might have something to gain from trying a new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Total Charge Tones by iOS developer ljinc.

AutoLockX prevents apps from overriding Apple’s Auto Lock feature

As many iPhone owners already know, the iOS operating system provides users with a feature called Auto Lock that, when configured by the end user, can automatically lock the handset after a pre-defined amount of idle time. In other words, when your handset isn’t being actively used, it goes to sleep to save power and to secure your important data.

Auto Lock takes effect in most circumstances, however there are a few exemptions in which the feature gets overridden, such as during media (video) playback and while playing certain games. Some users like this because of its convenience, while others find it to be a concern both in terms of battery life and data security.

This tweak badgers iPhone users about their low battery until they charge it

While a lot of iPhone users tend to be sticklers when it comes to their handset’s battery level and keeping it charged up, we also see a fair share of folks who don’t seem to mind gambling on the cusp of a completely dead or just barely charged device. Can anyone say “triggered?”

BatteryFlow Reborn is a new and free jailbreak tweak developed by ItzNebbs with the intent of making iPhone users more actively aware of their handset’s low battery situation by continuously bombarding them with notification alerts and banners.

BattRate provides jailbreakers with real-time battery discharge info and more

Lots of iPhone users take their handset’s battery performance very seriously, and given just how much of our lives appear to be driven by the apps we use every day, this doesn’t come off as much of a surprise.

While the iPhone’s Status Bar displays a persistent battery level indicator to alert users to the current charge state of their device, one thing it doesn’t do is provide users with an adequate understanding of the current load on their battery. That’s where a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed BattRate by iOS developer Julio Verne comes into play.

Eliza gives the Status Bar’s battery icon a wider array of colors to use

Apple makes it easy to discern the state of your iPhone’s battery, not only with a convenient icon in the Status Bar that depicts the current charge level, but also with unique colors that hint about its current condition. For example, a green battery icon indicates a good charge, while a yellow battery icon means that Low Power Mode is turned on and a red battery icon suggests a low charge.

Apple has used the same colors to depict battery states for as long as I can remember, and so it tends to be somewhat monotonous. Fortunately, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Eliza by iOS developer WilsontheWolf provides the Status Bar’s battery icon with a wider range of colors to help it express your current battery state.
