Ok I have an iphone 4 jailbroken on 4.0.1 for more than a month now, and within the Past month TWICE it just shut off on me randomly.. The Only Jailbroken apps I have is Cydia (of course) 3G Unristrictor, Make it Mine and aTube and SSH.
It once happened a while ago...and once last night, I was in a text (SMS)conversation back and forth with a friend. as soon as I sent my long a$$ text I just hit the home key and put that phone in my pocket, and walked outside my house for some fresh air.
I was anticipating to hear the Text chime back from my friend, but it never came, I kinda got suspicious, so I reached in my pocket and picked up the phone, hit the Home button and nothing, then tap the power button, again nothing..kinda got a little worried and sure enough my phone was powered off. (Just to Note that the battery was like 85% full, it was nowhere close to being low)
So I naturally held down the power button to turn this baby on, and....No cigar.. I held it there for like 10 seconds...no apple logo, nothing! Just a dead blank screen
At this point two things were going through my head..a visit to the Apple store, and I hope I can restore this phone or do something before they can find out it's Jailbroken.
So I decided to proceed to the next logical step, I held down the Home and Power buttons for more than ten seconds and Voila! Apple logo shows up phone springs to life, Lock screen to Home screen, everything's back to normal.
Now just to trace back my last steps before this happened, I wrote a text message that was very long, like over 200 characters long (at least 40-50 characters more than the 160 limit, I hit "send" and put the phone in my pocket, I'm guessing somehow the phone struggled with sending this data and shut itself off?!?!
Has anyone else experienced such behavior? or maybe knows the cause and the reason for it?
Sorry for the long a** post.
Thanks
