8 in the middle of all my numbers? iPhone 2G

[SQuiGee]

I got this phone recently and im still learning.I Just know its unlocked and jail broken.

The thing is, everywhere theres a number, like my clock and tracks. In the middle would be a square 8. Like it would be 2:17pm. The 8 would be RIGHT over the 1...same goes for track listings.

What is this and how can i remove it?

screenshot?

[SQuiGee]

how? haha sorry. I searched if there was a app but no results.

First you get a camera....jkjk...just press the home and sleep buttons at the same time for lk 1 sec....it'll make a camera sound and it'll store it in your photos....just make it do whatever the problem is and press both

Alright.......
1) Do you have SBSettings installed?
2) Do you have any apps installed that use the Status Bar regularly to display information?
I've never seen this before but if you have sbsettings installed I can guess what's wrong

[SQuiGee]

The only apps i know of that is installed is Cydia and WinterBoard. Also Icy but its disabled by the previous owner so i kept it disabled. What does this even do? Its under settings Cydia delete.

swipe your finger on the status bar a couple times and see if a menu falls down.....it doesn't have an app and since it sounds like you just got this phone I wanna make sure it isn't installed without you knowing...

[SQuiGee]

nope no menu

edit, well actually this popped up randomly. Its kinda hard to get it to pop up you gotta tap acouple times randomly on the top.

[wannabprogramma]

YAY! thats SBSettings hit "more"

[SQuiGee]

OK

[wannabprogramma]

k now go intoExtras & Options and either take a screenshot and post or just use ur noggin....it's probably statusbar dat, statusbar free mem, 24hour format, or . for / in Date....basically if any of these are on turn them off

[SQuiGee]

only thing turned on is hold icon, kill switch, and numeric battery.

[wannabprogramma]

turn off numeric battery, kill switch, and hold icon we just have to see if it works

[SQuiGee]

nope, still there

[wannabprogramma]

alright....give it a restore and re-jailbreak.....

[SQuiGee]

before i do that, since i need to upgrade to 3.1.2. Will that be a smart move or should i keep my 3.0.1? And if i do jailbreak, can you point me in the right direction to reunlock and rejailbreak? All the programs ive downloaded so far off this website likes to crash on me...and i dont want to ruin this phone since i just got it.

[wannabprogramma]

yea...update to 3.1.2 ....you can take your chances and download blackra1n from Welcome to BLACKWEATHER.COM it's the easiest break ever but sometimes it has little bugs on 2g iPhones...I recommend PwnageTool for iPhone 2g.....you can't ruin the phone, i promise even if you use blackra1n you can't ruin it....everything can be fixed with a simple Restore....

[SQuiGee]

Ok, il give that a try. I just deleted ALL my sogns by trying to make a ringtone...hopefully it dosnt give me issues.

Oh yea. Thanks for all the help man.
