<title><![CDATA[iPhone 4S: iPhone won't power on after repair.]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I had and iPhone 4s for a while, when I dropped it and broke the screen. I would still power on as I could see some lighting on the screen. I ordered a new screen for the 4s. Following a tutorial I did the replacement correctly and with the right tools. After doing the repair and reassembling the phone correctly, the phone would not power on. I have disassembled and reassembled the phone many times ensuring all the cables were connected properly. I've tried to charge the phone with no result. I have tried to connect the iPhone to my computer also and it is not recognized in iTunes. I have also tried to hard reset the iPhone, nothing works. Help please?</p>

<description><![CDATA[<p>hello.</p>

<p>I was trying to replace a screen on the iphone 4s, but i got a problem acording to video recording.</p>

<p>It is possible to record memo, but not to record video or use the speaker phone.</p>

<p>Will it be possible to jailbreak the phone, and change the mic options, so that it uses the bottom mic to record audio during speakerphone or video?</p>

<title><![CDATA[iPhone 4S: Ear Speaker replaced, still not working.]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>First off, my GF's iphone 4s power button was broken, so i replaced the whole assembly (power button/speaker/proximity sensor/flex cable) and right after that the ear speaker didnt work. It was working before, with the broken power button.</p>

<p>Now the power button works and the ear speaker doesnt. So i have replaced the ear speaker with a new ear speaker assembly, which didnt work.</p>

<p>I thought maybe i was cheap and bought a faulty one, so i bought another and still doesnt work.</p>

<p>Ive had checked and doubled checked that the ear speaker prongs lined with the logic board, prongs pointing north of the phone, but all i've gained through this is small static sounds.</p>

<p>I have cleaned the speaker holes, tried sucking on it, tried blowing on it, tried resetting phone, tried pushing, knocking, everything that was suggested on this forum.</p>

<p>I guess what i wanna ask is, whats the chances of it being the logic board that is the problem?</p>

<p>The underside of the logic board has 2 contact strips, it has 1 very small marks on each of  them from the friction and contact of the points from the ear speaker. But i think thats normal?</p>

<p>Everything else on the phone works.</p>

<p>I would be really appreciated if anyone can shine some light on this for me.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<title><![CDATA[iPhone 4S: Why will my phone not charge properly?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Recently my iPhone 4S started acting up. At first I thought it may have been the battery, so I got a new one from Ifixit. The fix process went smooth, but I'm left with the same problem. My battery charges extremely slowly. It has around a max of 4% charge per hour. The charging symbol also stayed after i unplugged my phone. I know it is not: the battery, my charger(s), or [because some sites have said] the new update. I've changed the battery, used chargers old and new, and even reset my iPhone! Thanks for any information you can give to help.</p>

<title><![CDATA[iPhone 4S: iPhone 4S Rear Glass Panel Compatability]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Okay, I know there are a lot of posts about this but frankly, I'm sick of all the garbage and unclear responses...</p>

<p>I am curious to know if <strong>ALL</strong> iPhone 4S rear panels are compatable with eachother. (GSM and CDMA panels are interchangeable) I am not talking about iPhone 4 but the <strong>iPhone 4S</strong></p>

<p>I currently have a CDMA iPhone 4S and need a new backing for the rear assembly, I am just curious as to weather or not all 4S backings are interchangeable.</p>

<p>Thank you for your help!</p>

<div class="clearer"></div><div class="headerContainer"><h2 id="Section_Update" class="header">Update</h2></div>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>So you recommend that if I am working on a GSM iPhone 4S that I attempt to find a GSM iPhone 4S rear glass panel? I know sometimes on eBay they will be specific in terms of the keyword you are typing and an item will say &quot;this is for a GSM&quot; or this is for &quot;CDMA&quot; but I was just wondering if all 4S backings were the same.</p>

<title><![CDATA[iPhone 4S: iPhone 4s won't turn on]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>On Thursday I replaced the screen on my device and the repair went off without a hitch. I was on iOS7 and on Friday I backed up my phone and upgraded to iOS9. The upgrade was successful, and I downloaded the Pokemon Go app.</p>

<p>For the most part, everything was working perfectly fine. I could play the app no problem, and the phone was working just as well as it was before I started doing all my repairs on it (which included an audio jack cable and vibrator about 4 weeks ago).</p>

<p>Today I was playing Pokemon Go at a park and I couldn't connect to the server. At about 17% battery power left, I closed all my apps and turned off the phone in an attempt to reboot the system. This is the first time I turned off my phone since the upgrade to iOS9. Now the phone won't turn back on. I've tried charging it (the phone gets warm so I believe it is charging), I've held the home button and the power button for upwards of a minute, and I replaced the battery with a new one.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? The repairs I did to the phone were successful; it was working perfectly fine for four days from Thursday to Monday after the screen replacement. Ever since I shut my phone down I haven't been able to turn it back on. I have it charging right now with the new battery pack and the battery pack is warm, so there is power going to the device.</p>

<p>The only thing I can think is when I replaced the screen the home button was a little loose. It wasn't quite as flush with the rest of the phone display and it can rotate easily. Would this be a problem? Have I somehow put the home button in a spot where it's constantly pressing against the sensor?</p>

<p>Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!</p>

<title><![CDATA[iPhone 4S: Soldering/Making a jumper on iPhone 4s Logic Board]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>So this iPhone in question won't charge the battery and wont power up unless its plugged in via wall outlet. Ive tested a new battery and new dock connector, still can't get the battery to charge properly. However, after some looking around I found that some resistors(i think?) near the battery connector seem to have come off. I believe this may be the problem. It seems like the leftmost one has come off and possibly the one next to it as well. You can see them more clearly in the ifixit picture seen here. Im thinking if i can use the circuitwriter pen to try and make jumper or something. Any thoughts?</p>

<title><![CDATA[iPhone 4S: Why does my iPhone randomly reboot?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>I've recently replaced the screen on my iPhone 4s with success but to my dismay, my iPhone randomly restarts.  During the tear down of the iPhone i accidentally ripped the ribbon to the battery connecter and the battery resulting in me having to buy another battery off of ebay. Now i don't know if this issue could be because of the aftermarket battery, or a malfunctioning in the logic board (i hope not!). The phone worked fine before i replaced the screen, and I have not had any other problems.  The reason I think this issue might be the battery us because sometimes when the iPhone restarts it shows different battery percentages i.e 28% then after restart it could be 14%. The phone is also not water damaged. Any help would be much appreciated!</p>
