Hi,

I have a jailbroken iPhone 3GS (3.1.3; BB:05.12.01). Off late my iPhone has been behaving weirdly. Following are the issues am experiencing

1. It freezes when i try to access my email and spring board automatically reboots itself multiple times before returning to normalcy.
2. My screen blanks out and my phone turns off totally though i have enough battery charge left on my phone. When I try to reboot my iPhone it powers up but gets stuck on the apple icon screen and freezes their permanently. The only way i have been able to get around it is when i plug my phone into the charger.
If my phone has enough charge left it boots after a few minutes and it returns to normalcy. If I had tried rebooting like mentioned, when I put my phone on charge I find that the battery had been totally drained though there was enough charge originally left.

I had installed a few jailbreak apps on my phone like winterboard, lockinfo, activator, proswitcher etc.

Can someone help me find a solution to this? Even if it means I have to uninstall some of my apps!! Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a hardware problem to me.

Only way to be sure - backup your iPhone (and backup the backup) and restore to stock iOS (same version) set up iPhone as new - see if the problem still occurs - then you know it is HW. (hope it is still under warranty/applecare)

Hi! Thanks for the suggestion! I did try restoring my iphone but it wouldnt let me restore it to 3.1.3 but rather it updated it 4.1 and now am stuck again with my iphone activation because it doesnt recognize my installed sim card. Is there a way around this?
