Sorry, I couldn't think of a better explanation for the term at the moment.

When I'm in Springboard I can see the service bar and the battery. WHen I launch an app its still there. When I exit the app the bar is missing from the desktop. If I relaunch sb it comes back?

Any ideas how to fix this problem?

Most likely it is an incompatibility with whatever theme you are running in Winterboard and the OS 3.0. I had a similar problem with the Gruppled Art theme, so I just quit using it for now.

Did you use purplera1n or redsn0w to jailbreak? I used purplera1n first and had the problem you described so I tried redsn0w and it's working perfectly. Not sure if this is the real solution, though. :p

No. I used pwnage...I'm only using the 3G. I can't use purplerain can I?
 
k..I'm going the route of trying to restore first...I think when I first launched Cydia I chose "upgrade essentials" instead of "full upgrade" you think that would cause the problems I described?

Also, can I JB redsnow from what I have installed now (pwnage). Or is there a delete process?

Thanks again for the help.
 
i was having the same problem......i believe i deleted the entire transparent statusbar theme and the statusbar in the current theme im using, through ssh. now when i open an app, i get the default statusbar, but its better than it dissapearing on me.......

That could be the solution.

Restoring it will remove the jailbreak. Let me know how it goes.

Its still there as far as I know...I restored and now I'm downloading the "full upgrade" to make everything work?
When I restored it came back and Cydia and Icy was on the desktop?
