Replaced Battery, Rebooting
I ordered this kid to replace my iPhone 3GS battery:
http://www.amazon.com/6279Q595-Repla.../dp/B001UGAX82 The whole replacement went smoothly, and it booted up the first time I tried. However, after being on for around 3-6 minutes, my phone rebooted. It didn't go into recovery mode, just a normal reboot (without me doing anything obviously). And then again, after around 3-6 minutes after the first reboot, it does it again. So I decided to reinstall the firmware, and then I got error 29, so I used iRecovery to get it out of recovery mode (error 29 means hardware error, just an unknown battery). I'm a little worried though, because there was a very small gold looking tab on the side of the inside of the phone that broke off. It looked like a tab to keep the logic board down and not moving, because it didn't look like it was touching any contacts. I don't know where that tab went though. It's not that GSM connection thing either, because I can make and receive calls fine, it's just rebooting a lot (but it doesn't go into recovery mode unless I restore). Any suggestions? Is that gold tab of any significance? If so, how could I fix it? Thank you so much! Edit: In case this is of any significance, I used the guide on iFixit.

Bump, can someone please help? ):
And if anyone is going to help, you should know that I ruled out the thought of it being the tab. I put the original iPhone back in and it doesn't reboot anymore. So is there something that I need to do so it'll stop rebooting with the new battery? Thanks again.

You may have damaged something or that battery is bad. Have seen the same thing with a phone I am working on. Had to put logic board in a spare phone and it booted fine after that. Gold clip connects aerial to the bezel as a ground plane I.e it connects ground to the bezel.

Do you have any suggestions of where I can get a battery for the iPhone that can hold more juice than the original? Thanks (: PS: Without the clip, is there any way that the logic board to be fried?

Get a genuine battery from another supplier first. Try that.

That kit is for an iPhone 3G, you stated that you have the 3GS, two different batteries. There's your problem.
