iPhone Screen Flicker

    I got an iPhone 4 on upgrade from 02 two weeks ago. I got a case on the same day, and it lives in the case pretty much, i have yet to drop it etc etc. Basically, i have been treating it better than a newborn baby.

    I was in the pub on Saturday night, when i noticed the screen on it was flickering. I tried rebooting it, there and then but to no avail. When i got home, i restored the software through iTunes - problem remained, and then i copied all my apps back over and presto, it stopped.

    Obviously i have googled, and many people seem to have a "flicker" problem resulting in setting up mulitple exchange mail accounts or something to that effect. All I had was a basic gmail account. Its worth noting that their problem, from my understanding at least was more comparable to the brightness wavering quickly, whereas with my iPhone, i could see lines appearing and disappearing all over the screen, and occasionally, the screen would shut off, of its own accord.

    Since then, i have tried everything i could to try and replicate the problem, but i cant seem to. Is it worth my while bringing it to compuB or apple or will i just be waved away as the problem has fixed itself?

    Cheers in Advance :)

    Is the answer in the question??:)

    Could be a bad solder joint or loose solder inside the unit. Hard to say since you have not been able to reproduce.
