iPhone 4 Seizure!

[Mr. Incredible]

I was talking to my girlfriend, and then I hung up the phone.

I placed it on the table, and it started vibrating again. I picked it up to unlock it, thinking it's a phone call, but the screen is black.

I can't turn it off or on, cause the screen is completely black.

I plugged it in, thinking that when charging it will fix it, but nothing.

Even worse, it's been vibrating for 15 minutes straight now!

So, basically, I got an iPhone that screen isn't working, and it's vibrating nonstop.

I need to go to the Apple Store tomorrow to get this fixed, ASAP!

I have a Verizon iPhone, not sure if that matters.

Anyone else have this problem? Is there anyway to fix it?

What happens if you perform a hard-reset? (hold power + hold for ~5 seconds)

 

[Mr. Incredible]

Yeah, I did that.

My girlfriend just sent me a link:

But instead of 30 seconds, I held it for 10 seconds, and it started working again.

Why did this happen? Would I be able to exchange it, or should I just leave it as is?

Is it possible that your phone came in contact with water?

i believe this happened a while ago too. i had it once. i held home and mute until it stopped (past the reset). maybe try that. after that it nvr happened again

Probably just a bug in the FW (how are you Verizon users enjoying updates? ). I definitely wouldn't take it back unless it's actually broken, or the problem persists, your phone is fine.

I've never had it in contact with water. I've only dropped my phone once, I think twice, ever since I got it on March 2nd.
