Touch functionality doesn’t work with an specific OEM screen, but if i replace it with an aftermarket screen touch will work.

If I use that same OEM screen on another iPhone 8 touch works properly.

Any one else encountered this issue?

Initially, the iPhone 8 had an obliterated screen and a malfunctioning volume down button (irrelevant). So, as usual, I've ordered a screen replacement from my supplier, and as soon as it arrived, unscrewed the shields, disconnected the battery, removed the screen by disconnecting the relevant screen and front camera flex cables, removed the front camera assembly and earpiece, Touch ID, and the Graphite Shield across from the original screen to the new screen. Screwed everything in the correct order and the phone has booted up. So, as usual, I thought that it was pretty much as far as the repair goes and was ready to give the phone up, however, still decided to test the phone further down by watching some Youtube videos and testing the rest of the hardware thoroughly. As soon as I cranked up the volume to the max, the phone turned itself off and then has shown the Apple logo and booted straight back up. Okay, I said, let's try it again and it has happened again. Inserted my SIM card and decided to call the voice mail, and discovered that the phone also restarts upon enabling the Loud Speaker. I clearly knew that something was wrong. After a quick research, I've come to a decision to disconnect the front camera flex and sure enough, the phone quit restarting. "For sure the problem was within the front camera, right?" - NO apparently. the problem was way more profound than I thought it was initially. So, I've ordered a new front camera flex whatever, connected it and the same thing has happened again. Decided to deviate from my supplier and ordered 4 assemblies from Amazon.ca due to its nature of free returns. Once arrived, ALL FOUR OF THEM HAVE SHOWED THE SAME RESTART SYMPTOM. What's interesting is that the phone doesn't restart without the front camera assembly connected. The phone also restarts regardless of whether the earpiece speaker is connected or not.

I'm completely stuck and have absolutely no clue what to do next. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

A few days ago my iPhone 8 was working fine, the suddenly got stuck on the apple logo.

I tried doing the volume up, volume down, and on button trick and it would just go straight back to the apple logo.

I went straight to my computer to restore on iTunes, and my phone immediately prompted me with the screen support.apple.com/iphone/restore once I plugged it in.

I’ve tried restoring and updating the device on 3 different computers and using 2 different USB cords (from Apple). And to no avail, I keep receiving errors 3600, 10, and 14 every time I restored. (Error 3600 being the most recent)

The farthest i’ve gotten within my restore is half way, (if it even gets to the white screen with the apple logo with the loading bar at all) and then my computer makes the noise when you disconnect something from the computer, then after the error is dismissed, the phone connects again.

This has been going on with the phone for about 4 days, and I’m at a loss for solutions. I’ve called Apple support and they want me to go to the apple store, but the nearest apple store is 3 hours away from me.

Any help is appreciated, but I have read tons of articles already and nothing has worked so far.

I've bought an iPhone 8 with a dead battery and a slightly water-damaged home button. I've replaced the battery with an iFixit battery, and a home button off eBay. Everything on the phone is now working perfectly fine, apart from the fact that it drains its battery from 100% to 0% in a few hours when it's powered off.

I suspected a (partial) short or something similar, so I powered it down, took it back apart and let the logic board cool down. I then took a photo with my thermal camera and one of the display flex cables is staying noticeably warm even when the phone is turned off:

This only goes away when I disconnect the battery. There is no corrosion anywhere on the logic board, I've re-seated the FPC connectors, and checked that all pins on the connector are clean and straight. I also don't see any knocked-off capacitors or something like this.

Could that heat be the current draw that is draining my battery, and what could be the root cause of this?

Thanks in advance

I have in my possession an iPhone 8, everything is working properly except the proximity sensor doesn’t work with skin.

If i cover it with paper, plastic, my shirt, litterally anything, it works. The screen goes off during a call and the diagnostics app (Phone Diagnostics by Hitek Nova) verifies the proximity sensor is responding correctly.

However, if i use my hand or put it up to my face, it doesn’t respond.

I’ve removed the screen protector and case, incase that was causing an issue. It’s got the original proximity flex and display (to the best of my knowledge).

Colored and especially white background are discolored around the cracks, but no discoloration when the contents are black.

Can this be fixed by changing the LCD/display's glass or do I need to replace the whole LCD/display?

so I decided to replace my iPhone Battery.

I replaced it because iOS16 is pretty battery-consuming

Everything seemed to be working just fine. The Instruction on this website is really good :)

Put it back together plugged in and -

• it only starts with power connection
• keeps rebooting
• says to plug it in computer, but when I do it shuts down and won´t start again
• get "restore-screen" sometimes

If you need any more information, just ask :)

Have a good one y´all, peace

Is the home button from an iPhone 7 compatible with the iPhone 8?

Thanks!

Is there anything I could do before replacing the part?

⟐ Answered июля 12, 2022 at 0:03 GMT-7

If I install that bracket back it’s not charging at all.

It also showed strange behaviour when it would charge with bracket, but when not all screws are in place (doesn’t happen in all cases).

What can be a reason here?

Can I use my phone without that bracket at all?

I replaced the battery of my iPhone 8. I have done this before so I made sure not to touch any other components.

PROBLEM: The phone does not charge, it is stuck at 0% in service mode and keeps rebooting. I checked and all the components, mosfets and resistors are in place and not loose. I tried a second new battery and keep getting the same mistake. The battery connector looks fine.

Oddly, the old battery works just fine (besides its reduced capacity).

Do you have any ideas what could cause this issue?

Checked the forum/internet, but nobody seemed to have my specific issue.
