Hi everyone,

I just recently upgraded my wife's iPhone 3G with OS 3.0, and unlocked it with ultrasn0w. it's currently working fine on wifi, 3G and can send/receive MMS without issue running on T-Mobile UK

Only problem I noticed is that any apps that I have downloaded to her device (google search, IM+, Facebook, Super Monkey Ball, etc) will longer open when started. You click on their icon, it pops up, then closes again. All Native built in apps work fine.

I have deleted and re-downloaded the apps several times, removed them and re-downloaded from the PC, and of course, reboots between each test, but I still get the same problem. They all worked fine on the phone with 2.2 firmware.

Anyone else experiencing anything similar? Is it worth reapplying OS3 and jailbreaking/unlocking again?

Cheers

the only app i get it with so far is taptap revenge, launches for a second and then closes itself. I did have it working on os3.0 before it was redsn0wed tho so im blaming that.

Usually installing a new app sorts this out, its a permissions problem.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times, to no avail, but have finally cracked it. Here's what happened:

I originally did the jail break / unlock on a Windows 7 64bit RC machine, with 64 bit iTunes - not sure if it's "supported", but it seemed to work aside from one error when the firmware was being restored to the iphone - it read something like "received an unrecognised response from the iPhone".

I was bricking it as I thought i'd bricked my wife's 3G, luckily, it seemed to come back after i powered it off. When it came to life, cydia/icy were installed so I assumed all went well, I unlocked and restored all her stuff and I thought all was well.

What I didn't notice is that on power on, the apple logo always showed, instead of the pineapple logo - yet the device was still jailbroken and unlocked, so I thought nothing of it. Restoring the download apps then displayed the problem I originally reported.

Today, I wiped everything, JB/unlocked, pineapple logo showed, I restored apps from backup, etc - still had the problem.

After one last JB/unlock, I skipped the restore and downloaded the apps and they worked fine, so whatever messed up in the original JB must be stored in the backup file.

Right now, all is working, and she is a happy bunny!

Thanks to all for the advice!

installing a new app made no difference as i did this the other day with a todo app.
