Thanks for the tips you've mentioned. I just want to clear also if its normal to blink sometimes when I am sending a text message. It usually appears when I am sending a text message after I re unlock my phone to use it again. Actually its not blinking the whole time, its sort of like quick referesh.

You're more than welcome! I'm glad I could help. What you just described is normal. If these problems continue, make sure you followed the steps I suggested previously. If the problem still continues, I would recommend erasing all the content off your iPhone and restoring it again.

If you need help erasing the content off your iPhone:

Erase all content and settings on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple Watch - Apple Support

If you need help restoring your iPhone:

Use iTunes on your Mac or PC to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support

Hi Coolbobcat2

 

I am still experiencing the my original issue. What if it appears again after restoring my phone?

Hi again!

I'm sorry you're still having problems. Usually restoring your iOS device helps resolve many problems in many and most instances. If you're still having problems, you may want to make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your nearest Apple Store. If you'd like to that, the information is here: http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
