iPhone X freezes at end of call

Hello there,


I know this question has been asked before but there are no recent answers so I was advised to start a new topic on this.


I have my iPhone X since a month now and every time a get a call (or call someone) I can't end the call. This occurs both with 'normal' telephone calls as well as with WhatsApp-calls. The screen is black and none of the buttons work. Updates to newer OS didn't help.


Sometimes, after 1-20 seconds, the screen comes back but sometimes the only thing that helps is to shut of the iPhone (pressing the buttons very long until it gives me the option to shut off the device).


Can somebody help me?

iPhone X, iOS 11.2.5

I had the same problem, you need to reset your iPhone, but cannot even do that.


This is what I did to force restart without having to re-install iOS (as apple support suggested)


Settings-General-Reset-Reset network settings


This will force iPhone to restart, and you just need to re-inter WiFi passwords, not hard.

Hello Hans0810,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It's my understanding that your iPhone X becomes unresponsive when trying to end calls. You've done a great job trying to resolve this issue so far. I'm happy to help.

I recommend reinstalling the iPhone X iOS with iTunes, this step can resolve possible software issues. When reinstalling iOS, iTunes will completely remove your current software and install a fresh version. While iTunes will try to do this without removing data, it's a good idea to make sure you have a recent backup before trying this step.

I have the same problem in addition to some other problems that even the guys in the store never know the answer to. So sad to see that the product that I used to love because of its simplicity has turned into product with many problems too complicated to resolve even by IT people themselves.

This latest problem with hanging up calls though is almost too much to take right now and makes me think wether to go for a smartphone from another producer...

This worked for me as suggested above: Restart here: Settings-General-Reset-Reset network settings.


My phone was locked on the phone screen and I could not reboot the device. What I did in the past was drain the battery to "force" a reboot. The solution above is much easier/quicker - What this actually does is reboot my device, which I am convinced is what solved the problem.


Thank you so much for your post!!!!
