First, reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.

If this does not work, restoring the phone would be the next step:

If still no luck, and to make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone.

If the phone works, restore from the latest backup. If the problem comes back, the backup data contained corrupt data, causing your issues.
