Help Galaxy S2 Faulty Screen?

John L

Hello everyone,

I recently bought a brand new Samsung Galaxy S2 about a week ago, been running fine since today, at first the TW launcher kept crashing and I had to force close it. but sometimes it works fine for about a hour. I tried installing a new launcher, seemed to work fine until the screen started to flicker and lag a lot, and it just ends up switching off, so I restart it and the same problems occur. The screen is also pixelated(half the screen is black). I've tried a hard reset, that didn't fix the problem, I'm currently running on Android Version 2.3.3, if I upgraded to ICS would that fix the problem? or is it a faulty screen?

Also, now it cant even get past the lock screen, it just keeps flashing and eventually it switches off

I am really gutted because I saved up for quite a while, and it seems this problem is common.

Any help would be really appreciated, Thanks in advance.
