iPhone 12 Pro Lock Sound Issue

I just got my iPhone 12 Pro and found a very annoying issue with the lock sound and sometimes the keyboard typing sound.

The lock sound goes weird when it has been idle for a few seconds. If I start playing something, the lock sound of iPhone 12 Pro will stay normal for another few seconds.

Please see the video I took:

It happens after rebooting the device and happens all the time for me.

Is it only me or something wrong with the system?

Thanks

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

the same here. 12 Pro. But i've discovered one thing. if you do hard reset (volume up, volume down and hold power button until you see apple logo) that fix the problem.


The problem happened everytime i connect magsafe charger or the silicon case magsafe in iPhone. If i use thunderbird cable no problem. if i reboot the iPhone no problem. only when attach the magsafe (something) the problem come back.

so maybe it's the sound of magsafe create a bug.

This has nothing to do with the magsafe as i am using it without the magsafe case or charger. The sounds include lock sounds and keyboard clicks. They are reducing which has been the issue for me since i opened the box and not because i had magsafe. I am now wondering whether i should go back to my iphone 11 because atleast it is not annoying me when i lock or type it.

Most people commenting really aren't that bothered however, like me, probably feel that if you pay good money for something, no matter what it is, it should work properly and if it doesn't then the manufacturer should know about it incase they can let everyone in on a "fix", especially when Apple set themselves up at every launch with their infamous phrase "The best iPhone EVER!" LOL perhaps some caveats on that...


The best iPhone ever with a slightly more yellow screen and sounds that may go a little haywire.


- it is but a minor irritation, a soft reset has worked for me, only bought it because I'm fed up of not being able to answer phone calls on my iPhone X - screen freeze!

and now, back to our program .......

does anyone else have sound problems besides the keyboard and lock screen? If so what other sound issues are they affecting?

As I have said before, it is affecting my lock screen and keyboard sounds however, it is also affecting my iPhone 12’s text messaging notification and mail notification sounds.

as I stated before, I have never used Mag safe but have the same issues as those that do use mag safe.

I find that if I go into the settings and change the sounds of notifications that the problem will go away for a brief time, but returns within an hour or so of using my phone.

Does anybody else have these issues?

That is all well and good, but as for my situation, not only is the keyboard sounds and issue the lock screen sounds an issue, but also iMessages notifications are acting the same way - they are not there at all, unless a restart is done and the fix only lasts a brief time before the sounds disappear again.

Also Note: I do not use nor have I ever used MagSafe in any fashion whatsoever neither the case nor the charger.

And the latest update has not fixed this bug.

I think it is important to note that their claim of a “MagSafe Only issue“ is not the case. I think it is an overall systemwide bug that they cannot identify the cause of and are laying it on mag safe.

You are probably correct, it might not be just a MagSafe issue and might be a wider software bug. I’m sure Apple are aware of it and will address it in line with other software priorities.


Just wanted to say that my sound issues centred around using the MagSafe case, I’ve had no other sound issues at all. Once I applied the restart as I mentioned a few posts ago, the lock sound returned to. Or so and hasn’t reappeared since.


I hope your software issues get resolved soo.

I’ve done everything apple told me. Even upgrading iOS, factory reset... what is the procedcre in order to replace the iPhone? Because apple support also just told me to wait to iOS 14.3 (which is now currently available) and that should fix the problem which is not solved by today. Also mine has some issues with the camera. Using FaceTime becomes laggy, at night mode seems I have blackberry camera built in.

I've had this issue basically since I purchased the phone last November. I was hoping for an iOS update that would fix it but I am currently on iOS 14.3 and the issue persists. I've tried both with the MagSafe case on and off, makes no difference whatsoever. When I restart the phone the issue is temporary fixed but soon enough (like 15 minutes after restarting) it starts again.
