Photo related app crashes and Instagram videos not playing after jailbreaks.

iMore Question

Hello, I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue I've been having since jailbreaking my 4s running 7.0.4.

Apps are crashing when I try to load pictures. Not when I load them in say my news feed but if I try to zoom in on them. It happens quite a bit with Facebook but it also happens with Alien Blue. I'm also having an issue where Instagram videos won't play. They just automatically go to the replay screen. This was not a problem for me before the jailbreak.

There also seems to be a picture related issue with BiteSMS. If I have an app open that is loading a picture or has a picture up and the Quick Reply box pops up, there is a good chance that when I try to send my phone will crash into safe mode. Not the first time I press send, but the second time or if I try to press Later or Open. I can swipe the Quick Reply box away but the keyboard stays and there's no way to get rid of it except to restart with lock + home into safe mode. You can't even power off in this situation because when the slide to power off screen comes up, it doesn't work. After you press send that first time and it doesn't go, you can press the home button and the app in the background will go away showing your homescreen but the Quick Reply box remains. I've sent numerous crash reports and syslogs to the devs and they can't seem to figure out what is going on when this happens. This problem has happened with no tweaks at all installed besides BiteSMS.

I'm not sure if the two issues are related but I find it strange that both seem to involve pictures and the loading of pictures. I've tried Googling the Instagram video issues but the results all seem to go back to when Instagram first implemented the video feature and that doesn't seem to help me much.

I currently have the following installed

BatteryLife
biteSMS
Bytafont 2
Cleaner
Crash Reporter
Forecast
iCleaner Pro
iFile
iWidgets
LockPages
Messages Customiser
SwipeToRespring
syslogd
TransparentDock
WinterBoard
Zeppelin

Any help whatsoever is appreciated. Even if it's just an off-the-wall idea. I've tried a restore from backup, a restore from new. Every time I jailbreak, the problem comes back. I just don't know what's going on!

I suppose you might want to ask yourself because of the extensive post to help us to help you and nothing is working, Unless one of our JB specialists comes by....Is it worth it to JB your phone or just set up as new and reload your apps and leave it alone. Just something to think about.

I don't really like the iPhone without the Quick Reply feature biteSMS provides. Responding to text messages means leaving apps only to come back and find they've reloaded and you've lost the spot where you were reading.
I just don't understand how I see to be the only person having this problem or no one can give me an answer as to why simply jailbreaking would affect Instagram videos. It's a little frustrating.

Yeah the same thing happened with me but only just recently. I had quite a few tweaks on my ipad and everything was going fine until i installed a couple more the other night and now all of a sudden my instagram videos go straight to replay/refresh. I have tried uninstalling some of the tweaks but not all of them yet, nothing has worked so far. I also have Zepplin, iFile, Cleaner, and Winterboard.
