BUT, now I've found a need for accurate GPS on a daily basis... So I purchased a new antenna and replaced it.

The new antenna worked (properly - was recognizing WiFi, had bluetooth capability, GPS worked, everything) for about 20 minutes, and now the option to turn on WiFi/Bluetooth/GPS is completely disabled.

Like. If I go to Settings > WiFi, the button is just grey. If I go to Settings > Bluetooth, all I get is the circular loading symbol and it won't stop "loading."

So... I talked to someone and he recommended restoring my phone to factory settings. I done so. I erased all content/settings and set it up as a new iPhone. The problem persists. I can not connect to WiFi, I cannot use bluetooth, GPS does not work.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Would much appreciate if somebody could help me please. The phone returned to myself from a customer, it worked fine previously but now it has stuck on Apple logo with progress bar screen after an update to iOS 10.2.1. It turns on, the progress bar goes to the end until 1mm of it stays unfilled and freezes. iTunes recognizes the phone, showing all the phone's details as usual (memory size, serial number, backups, etc). I left it for a few hours, but it still showing the same.

If I do a restore it restores, then freezes again at the end at the same stage, when iTunes already shows the screen with set up as a new iPhone or restore from backup options. I tried hard reset and restore in DFU mode, but still nothing.

If this is related to hardware and if someone had faced a similar problem please share, maybe I should try to reheat some components with a hot air station?

Many thanks!

I noticed that the housing of the iphone 6 consists of three parts. one part is the big middle part where the logo is, which includes the two metal parts enclosed by the plastic stipes (where the camera and flash are i.e.) and then the two metal bands one on top and one on the bottom (where headphone, lightning and speaker grill is).

These metal bands are not connected to the main "chassis", they are only attached with molded plastic and are therefore electrically isolated.

My question is, since internal parts are connected to these metal bands and the logic board also has a kind of connection to it, could it be that these bands are the antennas themselves ? and (i suspect so) do the have to be isolated from the main "chassis"?

the other explaination for this design could be that it is cheaper to build that way and that the "gaps" in the housing (the plastic stripes) are enough to allow antennas on the inside to work.

does anybody know more about this ?

Thank you very much,

Romazzino.

I recently changed the screen of my iphone 6 (4.7") and the front camera was not working. When I opened the phone to check if the cable is connected it was. So I tested the camera while the screen was out of the shell body (all the cables were still connected) and the front camera was working just fine. I thought that I had a bad connection and put the screen back on. The camera stopped working again. I did this a few times and the same thing happens.

I have no idea what I am doing wrong, please help me!

Thanks

The lightning cable is not the problem. Could the new battery be causing the communication issue?

We replaced the screen with an ifixit lcd and digitizer setup, and then the touch id did not work. We then swapped back in the original plate with the home button cable on it, and the touch id still doesn't work. Could something else have been damaged causing the touch id not to work anymore? We can purchase another cable and try it, but just wondering if that's going to fix it?

The home button seems to function as normal, just the touch id is not working and will not let us turn it back on.

The touch id portion worked right before we changed out the screen.

Thanks in advance!

In order to recover data stored on the NAND chip of an iPhone 6 motherboard is it enough to desolder the NAND chip and solder it onto a donor board. I am wondering if some additional chip like the CPU, might also need to be swapped. Does anyone have any experience doing this? Any opinions for what to watch out for would be appreciated. We are very skilled at the physical desolder / solder process.

Thanks,

Curt

Hi

Any one experiencing Touch ID not working on iphone 6 after a screen replacement since IOS 10 was released.

I have replaced 100's of screen with no issues with the touch ID. I have now done two iphone 6 with IOS 10 on them and both have non-functioning touch ID. This look like it might be a similar issue as last year with error 53.

I have an iPhone 6 in for a screen replacement. I had two screen left, but i´ve had an issue with both.

First I tried the screens without reassembling the small parts (camera, LCD shield plate ect), and it worked fine.

When i reassembled the small parts it just have backlight. Works fine if I connect the old screen

Also: the phone will not turn on when the new screen connected. But if the phone is powered on and I connect it, I get the backlight..

This happend to both.. Can´t see any damage on the flex cables.

I´ve done alot of iPhone repairs, so I´m not a newbie :p

Hope someone can help me understand what happened/what went wrong :p

- Alex

• keyboard buttons don't fire (especially keys at the edge of the screen)
• Keys will lag and then fire multiple times (e.g., Backspace key will start deleting text long after I attempted to remove characters)
• Scroll becomes jittery and/or completely unresponsive

• Locking and unlocking the screen when the touch screen starts to act up has no effect
• Restarting the phone has also been unsuccessful in fixing the problem, as the behavior returns shortly after boot
• reinstalling iOS (thought it might have been a software bug)
• reinstalling the front assembly; disconnecting and reconnecting the cables

Should I attempt to clean up the cables with rubbing alcohol to remove any oil that might have gotten inside the phone during installation?

Is there any app that I can use to see how my phone is registering touch events?

Any other ideas on how to troubleshoot this issue?
