Hey all, I jailbroke my iphone 3g last night. All was working fine. I installed some apps and was playing around and now my phone app keeps crashing and I can't make calls. I am able to receive calls however. Has this happened to anyone? Is there a fix or should I just do a restore and try again? Any advice is appreciated.

**NEVERMIND** I uninstalled some things and phone is working now.

What did you uninstall?

I jailbroke last night as well and i had recieved a call, but i tried to make one at one point and i couldn't hit the numbers and where it says "call" in green was blank.

The app kept crashing. I eventually just restored my iPhone did 'delete all settings and data" ect and now have a normal clean iphone again.

What exactly caused it?

Also I will say a jailbroke iPhone ISN'T as smooth as the non jailbroken. It's close, but programs are a bit delayed opening and i encountered minor bugs.

I uninstalled KATE and some other tweak program. Maybe the two didn't play nice together. I was ready to restore phone if I had to but figured to try to undo things I did right before it stopped working. I had same issue. Blank green call button and it just crashed.
 
I figured this out myself there recently, which is such a nuisance because Kate was great on 1.1.4 and I paid €45 for the full package, you'd expect an update pronto... but it just makes the phone sluggish. Like how bad does the coding have to be to crash the phone application on a phone?! :rolleyes:

Even look at the Google results...
