iPhone 5s: iPhone 5s battery drain iOS 11

Wed, 22 Sep 2021 01:01:41 -0700

Hello, after the ios11 i have huge problems with my iphone 5s. Before iOS11, my phone was usable for at least 12h. I was charging it every night. After the update, I've got many issues with the phone and after 2-3 weeks it was able to hold max 1-2 hours at idle on battery. I've checked the battery life and it was at 65%. So I bought brand new original battery, replaced it and now it hold up for like 6-7 hours at idle. I've tried to reset, to update but no success. I'm using original charger from HTC and ANKER cable, and I checked it and it's charging with 0.9 - 1 Amp. Is there anything I can do to fix phone. Could this be hardware or software problem?

iPhone 6: screen messed up after battery replacement?

Thu, 15 Apr 2021 20:41:43 -0700

I just replaced the battery on my iphone 6. did it while following a video... everything seemed okay. I removed the screen when I replaced the battery to avoid messing it up from what the DIYers had told me that would be best, so I took the screen off thinking that I'd avoid messing the screen up but now the screen is totally &&^&@@... its got lines running all through the screen and nothing is legible, and the touch doesn't respond. (i'm assuming it doesn't respond bc i can't see any apps etc, but touching the screen did nothing.)

What did/ could I have done to mess it up and is it something i can fix on my own or did I just waste money replacing a battery myself just to &&^& my phone up and end up paying for a repair anyway...

Any advice will help!

iPhone 6 Plus: Water Damage - No Power

Wed, 16 Oct 2019 19:01:36 -0700

My girlfriend's iPhone took a swim in saltwater for about 30 seconds. After realizing it was immediately taken out and surprisingly still working. It was not powered off immediately like it should have been. Shortly after it being out of the water it turned itself off. We did not try and power it back on. We got home about four hours later and after doing some research I found that it was best not to let it dry or corrosion could set in. I bathed it in fresh water and unfortunately it decided to try and power on while doing this. The apple logo came on and the screen went on and off about four times before shutting off permanently. I'm afraid that some serious damage was done here. I should have removed the battery before running fresh water over it but I did not plan on going that far at the time. After running fresh water over it the phone started making a sizzling noise and got really hot. I knew I had to get the battery out of there. I quickly looked up the instructions and was able to get the battery disconnected. The sizzling noise immediately stopped. After removing the battery I went to the store to get alcohol and bathed the phone in it. After about 24 hours we tried to power the phone on and it did not work. We connected it to a macbook and iTunes recognised it as an iPhone but said it needed to be updated or restored. We tried update but it did not work and said it needed to be restored. We did not try restoring as we have a lot of photos on there we are concerned about. I let it sit for another two days and now it's completely dead. iTunes doesn't recognise it or anything. Will the phone power on with a bad battery if it is connected with a cable? Could a new battery resolve my issue or is my phone likely dead? I saw no corrosion in the phone but I'm afraid when I ran fresh water over it I short circuited something important. Thoughts?

iPhone 5c: After battery replacement, my phone keeps resetting itself.

Tue, 03 Jul 2018 04:30:15 -0700

A few days ago, my friend dd a battery replacement on my iPhone 5c. The phone is completely up to date and I haven't experienced any issues before this.

After the replacement, the battery lasted for about 4 hours before completely dying. After plugging it in, the phone started rebooting by itself every few minutes. After messaging him about it frantically, he told me that it's just the battery and it's because it's new.

Calming down, I took the phone off of the charger, and it stayed on the same percentage-while functioning okay- for several hours. Knowing that this isn't normal, I restarted my phone, only for it to start doing the weird rebooting thing again.

Last night, after reading from several websites, I let it completely die and charge to 100% all night. When the phone was off, the battery wouldn't charge, so I kept the phone on, opting to just not mess with it.

Today, the rebooting thing has still been happening every few minutes-it's quite frustrating to say the least. For about six hours this afternoon I didn't mess with it at all-and it went from about 100% to 20% in that time span-the percentages jumping up and down a few times.

So here are my questions:

Did I get a faulty battery-is that what's up?
Did my friend just mess up my phone?
What do I do? I can't function on a phone that resets itself every few minutes.

Thanks for the help in advance!

iPhone 6: Why is the wifi and the bluetooth signal weak?

Fri, 17 Dec 2021 04:44:00 -0700

Hi!

I am the only one in the house with this problem - When I go to my room, the wifi-signal on my iPhone disappears. I only have wifi-signal if I am in the room, where the router actually is. If I bring another iPhone or iPad to the room, they still have a good wifi-signal. And no, it has not always been like this. It started like 2 months ago.

I have another problem - the bluetooth-signal is bad as well..

What to do?

iPhone 4: No one can hear me through the microphone, Only through speakerphone?

Mon, 16 Nov 2015 16:41:04 -0700

I have an iphone 4. I recently replaced the back glass from cracked after dropping it. It worked fine. Then 1 week later a baseball hit it at a baseball game (inside a otterbox case) Phone backglass cracked again at rear camera area. Now no one can hear me talk in a call unless I am on speakerphone.

I am confused on what mic I may need to replace. The top or bottom. Or if its could be something other than a mic that is the issue.

I have remotly deleted it through iCloud, but it is not connected to the internet so nothing happens. Is there any way to do this? :/

iPhone 6: Why does my iPhone 6 only work when plugged in?

Sat, 03 Dec 2016 22:36:09 -0700

I have dropped my iPhone a few times and the screen has cracked. But one day I was just using my phone as per normal and then it suddenly turns off and repeats the apple booting up logo then turns off and repeats this for a bit then stops. When I plug my phone in it repeats the booting up progress for about 20 mins then boots up and sticks on 1% and when I remove it from the charger then phone turns off. I have tried opening up the phone disconnected and reconnected the battery to see if that was the problem and it has not helped any suggestions on what I can do? Im not sure if the battery is broken or if something else in the phone needs replacing.

Cheers

iPhone 5s: Ripped the home button cable, can I still fix it?

Sat, 21 Mar 2020 02:27:11 -0700

I took apart my phone and ripped the home button cable, but I didn't tear the cable, I detached it from the screen side. Now the home button does not work at all. I was wondering if there was an easy way to reattach it instead of having to buy a new part. I know the touch ID might not work, but I just want to regain the home button's abilities.

Just to be clear, the cable was not ripped in any way, as you can see by the pictures below it was separated near the home button.

iPhone 6: iPhone 6 WiFi/Bluetooth Not Working

Wed, 10 Aug 2016 17:50:45 -0700

So for the past 6 months or so, my GPS has never worked accurately on my iPhone 6. It would get close to my location, but would always lag behind a bit. I never worried about it because if I'm travelling I usually get my wife to use hers.

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.
