Try a factory reset.

Yes, you have to be sure of your backups, logins and settings but it's what the shop will do before calling it a dead phone.

Thats kinda drastic. Is there another way?

Not drastic to me.

Just last week I did this in another way. I bought a new phone and in about 20 minutes I was all moved over from scratch and the old phone factory reset. So there is a chance you never prepared for this so you could start getting ready since most techs will just factory reset if you hand them your phone.

Uhh, don't hand a tech your phone folk unless you are ready. The techs have to deal with 100s of phones a day so it's all about volume. Next?
