IPhone 4 text message alert banner lingers?

I have my settings set so when I get a text, a banner pops up at the top of the screen, right? Now I've noticed that it stays there until I go to the home menu and I was wondering how I could correct this or if it was a glitch?

Power it down completely and wait a few minutes, and power it back up.

  • Will my message be delivered if sent as text message on iphone? My friend said that she was having phone problems earlier today. My message was being sent as an imessage, but I guess she wasn't receiving everyone of them, just getting the notifications that they were sent to her but she couldn't read them. I then responded to her, but it was sent as a text message this time and i have gotten no response. I'm not as much concerned about her responding or not, I just want to know if she will receive the message.

I checked in notifications about a million times and its set to show me a banner. I haven't dropped it or done anything that would have broken my phone. I would just really like to know how to fix this without taking it to an apple store.
