Is there a hard reset for the phone? Mine just froze and nothing on the screen will work. I tried holding down the sleep button but nothing. I'll probably just take it to the Apple store if anything...
This happened to me with 4.0.2Every time I do a hard reset my home screen wallpaper and ringtones go back to default settings. WTF is up with that.
I hold in the Lock/Home button until the Apple reappears. It doesn't happen every time I hard reset, but as I said it's happened so far 3 times in the last 2 weeks.By hard reset, you mean powering off the iPhone and then turning it back on?
This sounds like the behavior of the "Reset All Settings" button, but I haven't heard of a power cycle causing it.
Are you jailbroken?
Have you tried restoring the phone?
Yes, this is a more graceful style of reboot. Hard reset is basically cutting the system off no matter what it's doing, which should only be done if you can't get the "slide to power off" slider to show.Thanks Fury, I appreciate your quick help and reply.
When you say use the power cycle instead, do you mean just turn it off and then back on, without holding down the home button?
Well I took it down to the Genius bar and they did a diagnostics on it and found that an App was causing it to do that (Tweet Deck), which I found to be odd. So he ended up reinstalling the Apple firmware and according to him I should be ok now.Yes, this is a more graceful style of reboot.

I still believe this random defaulting shouldn't be happening, though, so see what the genius bar says and let us know how it turns out.
