Green Flash on screen when unlocking iPhone 5 16GB Black?

When unlocking my iPhone 5 16GB Black. if its been off for more than 30 seconds, I get a flash of green light rise from the bottom of the screen and slightly around the edges. My first question is how common is this. My second obviously is: how big of a problem is it? Is it a fault or something that just happens? It doesn't seem to affect the screen display after this flash. But it may in the future I just don't know. It never happened with my iPhone 4.

iPhone 5, iOS 6, Black 16GB

Hi guys!


I had this problem too but I think I've solved it. It was not affecting performance of the phone though.


I suspect is was being caused by the green "Messages" and "Phone" buttons being on the bottom row of my home screen.

I moved the buttons further up the home screen and the problem disappeared.


Saying that, it is practical to have the "Messages" and "Phone" buttons on the bottom row since they are the buttons I use most.


Hope that helps.🙂
