    Default 3rd Party App: Mobile Finder bricked my iPhone?

    I searched for "mobile finder freezing" and "mobile finder crash" but no luck...

    In Mobile Finder, I created a folder and tried to delete it. When I pressed delete nothing happened. I held down the home button followed by attempting to power down (holding the sleep/wake) but no luck.

    This happen to anyone else? Any suggestions besides restoring?

    EDIT:
    Was able to get it to shutdown/restart by holding home and sleep/wake simultaneously.

    So what...you don't have the problem anymore? If you're going to bother editing your post, you should at least provide us with more details. And your phone was never bricked, please learn the meaning of that term.

    I did have a problem with MobileFinder and MobileEdit.

    I opened a .plist using mobileEdit though the MobileFinder; although I did not save the file, only looking, it changed the file in some manner that I crashed the phone on exit and had to do a restore.

    Provide what details? I stated that I was able to get it to shutdown/restart by holding home and sleep/wake simultaneously, that's all I did unless you want to know the time, weather and what I was wearing when it "froze"... Better than just posting "EDIT: Got it working again".

    Just a few minutes ago I created a folder... exited out and went to services to activate ssh then it all froze. I had to do the two button to throw it into recovery to reboot.

    Using 1.1.1. Not sure if this was MobileFinders fault but has never happened before.

    Do I have to spell this out for you?

    You posted that your phone was frozen, then you edit and say you got it unfrozen. From the looks of your post, that means you don't have the problem anymore, but most other people would say something along the lines of "okay, problem solved, nevermind". I was assuming that, since you didn't post that, you were still having trouble and I was just trying to help, but you decided to get bitchy. Do you know how to work together with other people or are you just so desperate for attention? Either way, people like you are the reason I wish this forum had a block feature.

    Oh yeah, and the down rep, yeah, that was real classy, get a life.

    You're hilarious. You first tell me to give more detail and now you're saying I should have just said "Okay, problem solved, nevermind" without posting a solution. And you were not trying to help, you never posted any possible solutions .

    Then you come back and start calling me names. Telling me to get a life because I down repped you even though you did the same? Yeah that's real classy of you too. I'll just take the moral high ground and refrain from name calling since that was only done back in elementary school.
