All earphones not working even though chargers do

All earphones not working even though chargers do

Hello there, I have an iPhone 7, with 128 GB. I haven't been paying it much attention recently, but I think it might be failing me somehow. It has about 35 GB of memory left, but its performance has been so bad the past few days. For instance, the camera often freezes, sometimes does not take a picture although everything looks like and feels like I've snapped one, the camera lags and freezes up when I try to switch camera, the Apple Maps suddenly stopped working - everything resulted in a 'No suggestions found' and walking navigation did not work as well (but it fixed itself a few hours later when all I did was surf some sites and watched 2 predownloaded episodes of Netflix). I thought it might be a memory issue as I have been travelling and I did not have time to backup all of my photos and videos (pretty sure it's the only thing taking up 80% of the memory) and I tried to use the 'iPhone Storage' function but it often freezes up or become unresponsive or when the screen goes black it just goes back to the home screen when I unlock it again.

"The usual test for seeing if u have the audio ic issue is the following 2 symptoms

Long boot time, takes ages for the phone to start upIn the voice memos app on the phone u cant record a voice memo will say something along the lines of no playback devices available etc

If you have those 2 symptoms its likely u have the audio ic issue caused by the phone flexing, it is a repairable fault however requires microsoldering

If you dont have those 2 symptoms then try cleaning the port make sure the headphones or the adapter plugs cleanly inside the port should be a small gap about 1mm o so all around any more and u might have something stuck in the port :)"

"STEP 1 - Plug in the headphone adaptor. Wait 1-2 seconds, this is to allow your iPhone to recognise the new device.

STEP 2 - Turn on Bluetooth from Setting (Yes, I know it is not a Bluetooth device. Take that up with Apple).

STEP 3 - Connect the device. (it will be shown as GA or Lightning )

STEP 4 - Plug in your Headphone and Enjoy"

Try to Restore it with iTunes with the latest software. If the problem is the same so you have to reball the Audio IC and make a jumper C12 with R1103.

"Sounds like the typical ""audio ic"" component failing on your device. It either starts with your ear speaker failing or your charging port not outputting audio. This is a repair that require someone that knows how to solder.

If you want to ship your phone out i can get you in contact with someone that has done a phenomenal job with all the work i've sent him thus far. (Touch ic, backlight filters, audio ic, etc)"

"So I’ve got the same problem but voice recording through the app works fine. So is it something else causing the problem?

Phone charges fine, just doesn’t recognise any headphones are connected."
