Watchdog timeout

audiomxd watchdog timeout on iPhone

Part to check: Audio

A audiomxd watchdog timeout means the audiomxd system process did not respond within the allowed time, so the watchdog forced the iPhone to restart and wrote a Panic-Full log. It falls under Audio, with Medium severity. Not every hang is a hardware fault: read the other lines in the log to tell a software problem from a failing part. Scan the log with the Panic Scan app to get a verdict for your phone.
