iPhone 4 Notification center problems!!

So basically all of a sudden my iPhone notifications bar won't pull down anymore. I try to pull it down but it does absolutely nothing and I can't check the notifications

However if I have just gotten a message and it is showing the bar up the top I can swipe that down and the notifications bar will show.

Also if i put the phone in landscape mode I can pull the bar down but I cannot click X then Clear to get rid of any of the notifications when I do this?

I have trawled the internet for agesssss and haven't found anything, got the screen replaced as I thought it might have a faulty LCD and nothing!! Have hard reset as well and and even restored my iPhone to a previous backup but nothing

Please help 🙂

iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)

Note: You will not lose any data.

This cannot be a hasrdware issue. So the safe way to get rid of the issue (and all your data) is to delet e the ipsw file and restore without using the backup or syncing any data.

You find the ipsw files here:

Mac OS X: ~/Library/iTunes/iphone(iPod or iPad) Software Updates

XP: c:\Documents&Serttings\(username)\Applicationdata\Apple Computer\iTunes\iphoneSoftware Update

Vista&7: c:\user\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iphoneSoftware Update


Restoring as new : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
