    hi Guys my i phone 3gs is going mad it vibrates for no reason i had to get my last one replaced in october but my new 3 month warranty was just up when i rang them. at the start if you touched anywhere in the top left of the phone the silent sign would come on screen and vibrate but now if you touch anywhere on the phone apart from the screen it vibrates and now randomly its getting worse any ideas?

    cheers

    Silent Switch is faulty. I sent back my 3GS at the start of Decemeber and the replaced it with a refurbished one.

    its a long shot but have you tried doing anything to it?
    holding the power and home button together?

    try googling the problem?theres most likely a solution to it.

    Same happened to mine and i have a replacement on the way to me because it was still in warranty. I priced getting it done over here and i was qouted €55 to replace the switch.
    Do you only get 3 months warranty with a replacement phone even tho i had 6 months left on my old one???
