Sound and Haptics stoped working suddenly.


About every other day, the phone's sound and haptics just stop working. When I press the volume switches, the slider appears, but usually around 10 seconds later. Toggling haptics or sounds doesn't trigger them. About 50% percent of the time a hard reset will fix the issue, but it comes back, even when I do a completely clean install from iTunes. Other symptoms: anything requiring audio (like YouTube, Music, Podcasts, etc.) won't run during these "lag" sessions.


Anyone have clues as to what's going on?

Hi, you can download the latest iOS software update, go to Settings > General > Software Update.


If the issue persists, you need to restore your phone as new:
