Hi, I went to the Apple Store and the technician ran the diagnosis and said the hardware of the phone was all good. It was probably a bug from the transference between my old phone and the new one. She did say she had not seen something like this before though, but re-setting the software should do it (I had to do it at the store though). I ended up returning the phone and getting a new one.

Mine is doing the same thing as the photos shown on this thread? Anyone find out any info? Is it a new phone situation or just an easy fix to clear the issue?
