iPhone Keeps Crashing
For some reason or another my iPhone seems to crash whenever I’m browsing online or just trying to run some applications. I’ve done a restore about 6 times already hoping to resolve the issue, I’ve even downgraded to firmware 1.0.2 and nothing seems to resolve it. I was starting to think that my iPhone might have gotten messed up somehow when I hacked it. It was getting really annoying, I was at the point where I just wanted to sell this one and buy a brand new iPhone. But I didn’t want to hand this off to anybody knowing there is something wrong with it, so I devoted some time into investigating what was causing my phone to crash.
It took me about 2 weeks to figure out but I finally found out what the culprit was. It’s a setting within Summerboard that was causing my frequent crash. Now you have 2 options to fix this problem, one, you simply uninstall/remove Summerboard and don’t ever use it again. Two, go into the Summerboard settings and switch the “Dim Wallpaper” setting to Off. I chose the latter.
My iPhone hasn’t crashed once ever since I changed this setting, this will work on firmware 1.0.2 and 1.1.1, not sure about 1.1.2 because I haven’t upgraded yet.

This looks like a good suggestion for people who are having similar problems with their iPhones. Thanks!

iPhones are pretty sweet but maybe they are a little “immature” and need a little time to work the kinks out. I think I’m going to wait and let them develop the product a litte more.

Shiyam,
Sounds like you need to perform a restore and start all over again.

I have been to restore but seams like I am not doing it right. What would be the simplest way ahead. Advice PLs.

Hopefully the new iPhone 3G won’t have this issue. I do have a few friends with older models like this one in the article and they aren’t having the issue.
