Q: iPhone 6+ iOS 9.2.1 and the stock Reminders app sound issue
Hello everyone and good day,
I started within about a week of this question of having a issue with the notification sounds on my iPhone 6+. As you can tell by the title of the question, I am using the stock Reminders app that comes with the device and have the latest firmware on the phone.
The issue is that I set a sound for my notifications in the sounds section of the phone. I am using the stock sounds provided by Apple and not any custom sounds. Everything will seem to be OK and then within a day or two, the reminder will go off visually but there will be no sound!
I go back into the sound settings and tap on that sound and no sound. I can choose any other sound and I can hear it but go back to the one I had originally selected and no sound.
I can select another sound and it will work for a little bit. This varies from just a few hours to a day and then the same issue occurs again! No sound!
I go back into the sounds settings to check and not only does the original sound not work but the one I had selected before the phone did this issue is no longer playing! Two sounds now don't work!
If I do a hard reset, the sounds that were muted will once again work. This is very frustrating especially because I depend on my device to tell me when I'm supposed to do things like take my meds on time for example.
I don't at the moment have any other issues with sound notifications with other apps, just the Reminders app.
Does anyone have a clue on why this is occuring? Is this a bug that Apple needs to be aware of and fix?
Because to be honest, this issue is really starting to annoy me.
