Yeah, do you mean tap the phone on a table?
Or tap with your fingers?
Fingers, I wouldnt strike it against a hard object.
Got a tip for us?

I've done this numerous times and it doesn't seem to have helped with my iPhone 4. I'm out of warranty and not comfortable pulling my phone apart so I'm at a loss on what to do.
I actually do tap against the table...but I've padded the table first with a towel, and I'm very careful not to tap too hard. Do so at your own risk, obviously.

Honestly, if this isn't working for you, then warranty or not, you probably need to take it in to Apple & see what they can do for you. This isn't a problem that goes away on its own. Maybe they'll offer to clean it/test it in some fashion, maybe they'll offer a free replacement, maybe they'll tell you "too bad" and offer the $149 out of warranty replacement. They're not consistent with their response to the problem, so there's just no way to tell until you go in and ask.
