Hi
My iPhone 3G has been unlocked by Apple. Using a new SIM card (I am abroad in the UK, my home country is Switzerland) several apps crash immediately when I want to launch them. I have tried to re-install them several times - it does not help.
What to do?
iPhone 3G, iOS 4.2
Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW. Have you tried ALL of these?

Thank you!
Here my experiences with your suggestions:
Restart: didn't help
Reset: didn't help
Backup and restore from backup: didn't help
Backup, erase, and restore from backup: DID help! (see also http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137).
Though: I had to reinstall the apps (which is also what I did before without success; but also without the backup-erase-restore-procedure) - now it works.
THANKS for your help.
For anyone else having this problem you may want to try my fix first to avoid a restore.
I have a 3gs Iphone too and recently carrier unlocked from the Three network, which incidentally
had the same problem of apps crashing immediately.
I tried all solutions I could find and none worked so on a whim I thaught I'd try something new.
I connected my phone to itunes on my Computer.
I then clicked FILE > Transfer purchases from iphone. "This takes a while delete any old stuff to save time"
When complete I checked the checkbox in Itunes to sync my apps and ticked the boxes for the apps i wanted"
and clicked to transfer.
Then I did one final sync down in the bottom right and my apps were working again.
Hopefully someone from apple or another user can replicate this and make a better write up on it.
Good Luck
