before iOS 11.3 my iPhone X worked flawlessly. No issues at all. After upgrading to 11.3 I have the following issues. Unable to answer calls and screen is unresponsive. Today it played music when I tried to answer. I can only reply to text w/o unlocking sometimes as the keyboard does not appear. Unlocked when not in the text app I can’t see the bottom of messages as the keyboard blocks the message and I cannot scroll up to see the text. The only way I can see it is in the text app. It also randomly locks up. These are just the issues that come to mind right now. Before 11.3 my phone worked flawlessly, now its fast becoming unusable.
Got a tip for us?

So downgrade. While you can.
Some hardware issues occur randomly but coincidentally with any specific activity, upgrades included, so you can't really rule out a problem with the phone itself.

@simonsi said it is your last chance to downgrade before Apple stops allowing it.
It sounds like possible software issue. Did you OTA update? You may try to put device into recovery mode by connecting to device to iTunes while device is powered on, quickly press volume up, volume down and hold power till iTunes detect it is in recovery mode and hit "Update" to re-install 11.3 while retaining all your personal data.

I’ve never synced to iTunes via pc. Mainly because iTunes refused to sync with my iPhone 7 Plus so I just did an OTA sync. Would this cause me to lose all my data?
iCloud backups don't save everything, best to get into the habit of doing a sync and a backup to your computer now and then, especially before a big update just in case. If your still having issues with doing that then try reinstalling iTunes with latest version and using a different USB port perhaps.
im trying this on my device now. Does this reinstall a fresh copy of the iOS basically?
It basically overwrites the OS but not over your data.
Update: iOS 11.2.6 is no longer signed.
thanks, i just did that and it worked. Hopefully this resolves the issues.
I wonder what else could be causing those issues for you? I have had no issues at all with 11.3 on my iPhone X. Knocking on wood of course. Did you check battery and data usage to see if any rogue apps might be running in the background?
That could well fix issues even without downgrading some times.
I'm still on the last public 10.3 beta and it's been working fine on my X. Will wait till at least public beta 2 before going on 10.4 however.
That afraid of issues you’re staying on public beta that works well? I honesty
Don’t blame ya haha. If it ain’t broken. iOS 11 has been. A wild card
3rd party apps are sandboxxed and should not affect the OS. The "gremlins" are all from iOS.
You’re right. I found that it was off. But I thought it’s always been that way and I never noticed problems before. Turning it on seems to have fixed some of the behavioural issues I was seeing.
