Ask Tii - Issues with Jailbroken Phone crashing

Hi Rob,

 

Love the show just had a question for you. I'm new to the jailbreak world and I keep getting a message the says "springboard crashed and my phone is running in safe mode" and suggests I restart it to get it out of safe mode.

I have turned the phone off and restarted it and it works fine. I have gotten this message 3 times in the last two days, any idea of why I keep getting this?

Thanks for all your help.

I used greenpoison to jailbreak and am running iOS 4.2.1. I have been jailbroken for about a month.

Hi Greg,

Usually the issue you describe is because of a new jailbroken app or theme you have recently installed.

Have you installed anything new in the last week?

If so - go in and uninstall which ever app it was and see if that fixes your issues.

If you installed a bunch of apps - try uninstalling them one at a time giving some time between uninstalls to see which one cures the issue.

One of the down sides to jailbreaking is the more jailbroken apps you install the more likely you are to get a phone that becomes unstable.
