I left my iPhone 4 charging for about 3 hours until it was fully charged. I went to take a picture and the camera flash switch had a warning symbol. When I clicked it, it stated that my flash was disabled due to excessive heat. I quit the camera app and reopened it and the flash was working fine afterwards.( note the phone did not feel hot whatsoever.) Should I be worried about this. There was no overheating warning on the lock screen just in the camera app.
I just got this error, what did they say at the Apple store other than it was abnormal? The flash is working fine now but I don't want it to go out down the road. Should I take it in?
This is a bug in the 4.3.1 software as shown in this thread.

Every iphone does this since 4.3.1. I even verified it on my phone so it is a software problem only.
