Hi, ok... yeah, as the topic stated it.

I'm just worried/wondering/figuring/solving this weird problem.

This happened, let's say 3 days ago. I've an unlocked iPhone 3GS 32G, jailborken using my mac and blackra1n, OS:3.1.2 base band 5.11.7.

I usually charge my phone using the wall plug socket. Now, since three days ago... I've done nothing much with my iPhone, jsut the usuals, calls, sms... a bit of tweeting... when i synced it with my itunes, i realized that my "Other" filer size gotten bigger, from 500mb to 5gigs... then increased to 8gigs... I got so worried i ejected my iphone and decided not to touch it anywhere near my iTunes... i dont know how it manage to get bigger and bigger.. hence wasting a huge block of space in my itunes... I was wondering could this be a random virus created by Apple™? jsut to pawn us jailbroken users?

I've tried to track down where's the origin of the "other" file size using DiskAid for Macs.. and it was under Private/Var/*a 3-lettered file*/cydia's .log format..
that particular size was like 6gigs...so i've personally concluded that it's something to do wtih cydia or the jailbroken side of the phone that is causing a mass space wastage with unknown file... :/... very worrying...
I've tried switching off my phone *holding the stanby button, then sliding the off screen*... then switch it back on... the "other" file size remains that big...

but then again.. i tried rebooting my phone under my SBSsettings function... it somehow managed to solve my problem... the "other" file size went back from 8 gigs to 500mb...

So i'm asking if anyone have/has encounted this issue? How to resolve it? Is it a new virus? or something screwed up along the way?
I called my friend the same night i discovered that my "other" file size was getting bigger, he checked his phone.. and his phone was 13gigs size for his "other" section.. 45 minutes later, he called me and told me that his phone crashed/died... :/

This issue is worrying me to nuts1!!!
:S

YES EXACTLY!!! Thank you SOOO much for the info... i shall try to pass this too all my affected friends....

Yes please... I would also like to know the exact usage for our phones too... the iPhone's usage data counter isnt at all accurate...

Yes theoretically it's possible.. .. jsut switch on your biru-gigi on your phone and see if it could find the device of your car..

iPhone Generation : iPhone 3Gs 32Gb, the batch before August 2009.

Current Firmware : 3.1.2 (Unlocked)

Current network: Maxis

iTunes Version : 9.0.1

PC/MAC : MacBook 13.3"

Jailbreaking software : BlackRa1n RC2

Problem Encountered : Unable to surf/go online when I disable my "3g" network. Basically I can't access they web via EDGE/

Steps Taken So Far : Problem started when I accidentally tapped the "EDGE" button on my SBSsetting, that totally disabled my ability to surf online, and i'll get this "Unable to activate Cellular Data Network" thingy. I've done a Soft Reset, nothing happens..

Then, i tried to reset my network system thingy at the system prefrence, it manage to work, so i can finally surf with my 3G, but i dont know why i cant surf/ get an ip connection with Edge.. :/

Done that la obviously... It's messing up with my signal strength, and something my phone can be a b**** receiving calls...
