I was on NS when my flashlight started flickering. It has not stopped flickering for ten minutes, even when I turned off the phone. Battery is draining fast. Anybody had this problem? Didn't post in media and arts because I want a quick response.

No success. I had water damage in the past, but replaced the battery and thought that would fix it.

do a factory reset by pressing the top screen lock button and the home button at the same time... holding them for 10 seconds

That's a soft reset I'm pretty sure, but yeah do that. Or just turn it off conpletely(hold both buttons till it turns off), if its still flashing and you're SUREit's off it's definitely the hardware

None Of these worked. Tried restoring through iTunes. Might have to make a good drive to the Apple store.

that happened to me one time. its a hardware issue so resetting stuff isn't gonna do much. what worked for me what pushing down really hard on the back glass until it went off.

It's emotional because of a lack of physical relationship, and I don't mean holding it with your hand, cuddling is not enough, you should try to mate with it.

The 3,5mm headphone jack is quite a squeeze but after your done, she will be quite satisfied and fulfil all your tasks.
