I know this would be rather atrocious and unlikely, but has anyone happen to have synced his/her own iPhone using that same PC before? Or is your phone a second hand? The symptoms you mentioned are weird in the sense that it came up with such a distinctive name on its own after a mere hard reboot.

Try restarting it the right way this time, dock it and sync it again using the right name profile. If ALL of the above symptoms pursue, I wouldn't even think twice about a restore. It's looking to me like missing/damaged system files, or a full-to-the-brim root partition.

Okay. Relax and try your options one-by-one carefully. First, which firmware are you referring to, 1.1.4 or 2.0? If it's 2.0 you're having trouble with, repackage a new Pwned IPSW and try again.

But because you mentioned jailbreaking, I assume you're still on 1.1.4 or below. First of all, which method are you using to perform the jailbreak + unlock? iBrickr, ZiPhone, +iLiberty? All 3 should work fine under normal circumstances, but I suggest trying them one by one if either one still gives the same problematic results. Secondly and MOST of all, was it after installing a specific app that your problems began to occur (hanging, odd profile name etc.)? Or was it immediately after jailbreaking + unlocking? Right now, I'm putting my money down on one of the apps you may have installed as the culprit behind your issues. Test this by rebooting your phone PROPERLY after every app you install. This will tell you immediately whether a specific app like weDict may be causing this as you have guessed yourself. It'll take sometime, but at least at the end of the day you will know for sure what your real problem is

Good luck, mate.

Alright, good luck with that, mate. Remember to try the steps I told you of above. Post the outcome here as soon as you're done. Personally, may I add another suggestion. Instead of using iPhone PC Suite, try using only iTunes to do the syncing for you. But of course, I assume all your important data's stored in iPhone PC Suite. Just a suggestion in case you run out of options
