Ear Buds and Volume Controls Dont Work After iOS 11 Update + Other Issues

Have you tried to restore your phone from the backup? You should have created a backup before going to 11, if you restore it should cure your problem.

Having this same problem, spent a lot of time troubleshooting it.

You’ll need to have the Music app on your phone that is default by Apple. I had deleted mine, having never wanted to pay for music services. You can redownload it from the App Store. Not sure how or why, but the app needs to be on your phone in order to allow pandora to work with your control center and earbuds too. I verified it works after a restart of the phone. Volume controls work, even after the screen is locked. Pandora will now connect with Fitbit again. Also shows pandora controls in the swipe-up control center. Hope this helps! I knew you were not crazy, nor have a broken phone!

We are users just like you are. Your threat to buy an Android does;t affect us at all.

Restart an app. If an app isn’t working properly, you can force it to quit, then try to reopen it. (Typically, there is no reason to quit an app; quitting it doesn’t save battery power, for example.) To quit the app, double-click the Home button, then drag the app up from the app switcher. Opening it again may resolve the problem.

If the App restart doesn't help, delete the app and reload it from the App Store.

1) Settings>Sounds&haptic>Change with buttons... ON

2) Check your Music App settings

Sure.

I’m not going to restore my phone. Because that’s not going to help. I used to have problems with iOS updates before, nothing helped. Had to wait for the next update. And when I talked with the customer support, they said they are aware of the problems and are working on a new update to fix them. So it’s a waiting game.

Not to factory settings, but to the latest backup you created. Its always recommended to create a new backup before you upgrade software or hardware. Sorry you're having so many issues. 😟

I can’t post here for some reason, so I’ll just reply here

Dear Apple,

I want to thank you for releasing update 11.0.3 for iOS. I just bought iPhone 7 Plus few months back and I’ve loved that phone. So, thank you for releasing an update, that broke my amazing phone. But then again, since iOS 8 that’s been Apple-style! To release broken updates.

Now every time I want to use speaker when speaking on phone, if there’s something running in the background, like Safari or Facebook, or anything else, it doesn’t work. Nope. No can use speaker. I press speaker button and it lights, but no, nope, no speaker. I have to restart my phone to get it work again. And when I do that, my background light has resetted to the dimmest. Now I have to change that so I can see something of of my phone’s screen. And volume control doesn’t work with my bluetooth headphones.

But the greatest part for this update is freezes. Yes, phone freezes sometimes, and wait for it, because of your stupid *** new broken update, I can’t even HARD RESET! No! No more hard reset at all! Nope! I have to wait for 5 to 10 minutes to my phone return magically to life. I can’t shut it down when it does that, I can’t use hard reset, because apparently you’ve removed that all together. So, my iPhone 7 Plus 256Gt, that costed like 900€, is now a useless piece of crap.

So, just wanted to say Thank You Apple for yet another broken update and **** you. I’m going to make my life mission to turn people away from your products. Because you’re a bunch of idiots. Thanks again, Apple!

So, you had to come here and open your mouth and not say anything informative? Is that what you do all day long? I asked you ”What CAN I do with a broken iOS update” but you’re giving me ****. So, for me, you’re just a waste of good air.

Oh, because you seem to know so much, please, enlighten me. How’s my phone, which worked perfectly two days ago, before I installed iOS 11.0.3, is now all of a sudden broken? Please, tell me. I’m curious how does that work.

Oh, and because there’s other people with same problems as well with the new iOS update, you’re saying they broke their phones also? It’s like a ******* national break your iPhone national day or something? I know, you’re people who are willing to defend something, not even giving it a chance that your favourite company could screw up, and that’s fine, it’s stupid as ****, but fine. I love Apple, I’ve been a huge Apple fan for a long, long time. But they have screwed up a lot lately.

So how long have you been trolling around here? Nothing better to do?

And yes, the phone call came from Ireland, when I live in Finland, and I had to speak with them because Finnish support was closed.
