iPhone looses connection / Internet Connection

Today I had a strange behaviour on my iPhone 3G. When trying to open my emails I got a “no connection to the internet available” against the settings pane, which told me that my 3G Connection is configured and switched on. The only thing I was missing was the connection icon at the right of the provider logo. I tried to switch on and of 3G, checked my connection point settings, nothing helped. It seemed like the daemon responsible for the connections EDGE, 3G and WLAN died somehow. I restarted the device and everything was fine again. A few days ago I encountered messages like “Network Connection Lost” during the day. Has or had anybody out there similar problems??? iPhone 3G free for all providers, no jailbreak.

Ever Lost Icons On Your iPhone?

Have you ever lost some icons on your iPhone desktop even if you did not do something funny? It seems that application installation sometimes fucks up the com.apple.springboard.plist file. So simply connect to you iphone or use the terminal application and remove this file:

/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.springboard.plist

Afterwards restart the iPhone to get the work done. You have to reorganize your application icons afterwards.
