    Default Ios 5.1.1 absinthe random reboots

    Ever since the day I tried the new jailbreak for my iPhone 4 (full restore, fresh jb and ranging from a minimalist (only a theme and fonts) to a fully tweaked (10+ mods)) my phone began having random restarts on a basis of at least 1-2 a day.

    I've tried redoing it several times with no change in reliability. Sometimes the screen will simply freeze with a bunch of colored artifacts (forcing me to hard reset it), others it will simply reboot straight away. It never happens at the same place and cannot be replicated.

    I'm curious if anyone else has been having issues as extreme as this and of there's a fix. I'm currently back onto a fresh unjailbroken state until I can sort this all out.

    Has to be a conflict of some sorts. Something isn't playing together fair. Only option ... When you restore you do set up as new right and not restore from a backup?

    I've done both with the same results. It's got me really puzzled. Maybe my phone is just bad lol

    Yeah it was all up to date. I've been breaking for years on different iPhones and versions but never had this type of problem before.

    I'm at work now but if you can list the tweaks the download maybe that will help - and if any are from the no no repos please - I've known of their apps to cause issues for users in the past.

    It's happened with as little as winterboard and bytafont.

    The main ones I use are
    Sbsettings
    Lock info
    Bytesms
    Color keyboard
    Zeppelin
    Bytafont
    Winterboard
    Ifile

    I never use bogus tweaks, so no bad repos in the mix

    That's what I like to hear

    And extremely unusual my friend - I personally have all those tweaks installed on my 4S with no issues.

    If you restored, set up as new, activated, jail broke.... You shouldn't be having any issues with those tweaks. I'm honestly baffled.

    Try jail breaking with Redsn0w maybe? I know I used redsn0w without any issues.
