I'm wondering what's going on. Yesterday I started having "flickering" on my display (if you want to call it "flickering" because it is intermittent and random). It will no longer permanently hold brightness, automatically going down 2-3 notches several times during the day. It will only return to full brightness once in a while and I have to re-boot the phone to return to full brightness. Fast scrolling appears to instigate the issue.

Today, now my phone has stopped delivering text messages. Even after turning it off and turning it back on.

Could my phone be going out? I hope not. I just got it on launch day. Has anyone else had any issues? My carrier is T-mobile.
 
Oh man that's hilarious. LOL. I needed that one!! 😂😂😂😂😂
 
Ok I fixed up the text message issues...but my display issues remain. I guess it's time to head to the Apple Store or call their support number...

May be a loose connection between the motherboard and the display panel? !
 
When text messaging stops you should reset network settings.

once you do if you had text that weren’t coming through they’ll all come through at once.
