I'd like to someone make a microphone replacement guide because my iPhone 8 fell (a long ago) and down right corner broke, so the microphone died. None can hear me on calls, audios etc. I hate that when someone calls me, i have to run to take and plug the earphones, so could someone make it?

Or tell me if the micriphone is included on the speaker replacement so i change it (it also started to fail)

Thank you.

I did some troubleshooting and found this:

• When the front camera flex is screwed down in place, it bootloops.
• When I remove the screws and leave the flex hanging loose, the phone boots and works perfectly.
• I thought the earpiece speaker was the issue because it boots fine without it. But I tried putting electrical tape over the speaker pins so it wouldn't make contact, screwed it down, and it still bootlooped.

Has anyone experienced this? Any solutions on what exactly I should buy or do to fix it? Thanks!

I have looked at the iphone 7 screen and the pictures of an iphone 8 screen + the teardown of the iPhone 8.

From my understanding the screens are exactly the same.

Thoughts?

I had assumed data was being backed up to the cloud as I was paying for storage. Turns out I was just paying for storage from my previous phone and nothing from the IPhone 8. That’s what I figure anyway as nothing from the IPhone 8 had backed up to the cloud at all.

I took it to an Apple registered technician (small town in Australia with no Apple stores). They told me it was the logic board and needed to send it to Sydney to be fixed.

I then took it to another phone repair shop who also said they needed to send it to Sydney (third party technician) to see if it can be fixed down there. As they only charge money if they actually fix the problem, I went with them. Finally got the phone back 5 weeks later to be told it’s ‘unfixable’ and the motherboard is ‘fried’. Apparently they tried ‘every part’ but couldn’t get it to turn on. I just want my photos and notes from the phone. Is it worth seeing if there is anyone else who can retrieve the data for me or is it likely it’s all gone? I mean are all technicians the same and if one can’t get the data, no one can? Or are there some that are extra specialist who know extra little ‘tricks’ for iPhones?

Thank you.

All I've seen is that's it's very difficult, and expensive?

From pictures, I gather you don't need to tear the phone down, but endure the very well stuck down glass?

Seems to me that using a small syringe, something similar to the size used for insulin injections would work. Like bathroom caulking, but on a much smaller scale.

Thanks

As a quick foreword, please forgive my somewhat broken English. You have a %#*@ froggy in the house.

I already posted my question on the French version of the site but never had any reply so far.

My iPhone 8 is stuck in a Boot Loop when I stop using it or when I try to shut it off. The phone is working fine (I can receive and send calls or sms and use the few apps installed). Here for the symptom.

I have to add that I successfully replaced the screen few days ago. I also had to replace the rear case. Unable to remove the original battery from the broken rear case (goddam adhesive strips that always break when you try to tear them off!). I ordered a new one (see picture 1 for reference) and put it in the new rear case.

While I was putting back the components, don’t ask me what kind of a demon drove me to get my nose in the lightning port bracket. Anyhow, once it was unscrewed I discovered that the Wi-Fi Diversity Antenna (see picture 2) was connected to nothing. Then I decided to take the missing little connector (see picture 3) to put it in the new rear case. Have I done something wrong? Anyway I came up with the above described issue.

Another useful information. I had access to the “Panic Full” bug reports from my phone, so here we go:

A iPhone 8 I recently bought has a replacement screen. Now the screen sometimes freezes and then unfreezes again. When you do something during the frozen time on the screen it will do everything you did during the frozen time.

Is this down to a bad screen, or a motherboard fault does anybody have any suggestion? I don’t have a known good or any other iPhone 8 screen by hand at the moment of writing so can’t test myself.

Thanks in advance

However the iPhone 8 screen that the touch doesn’t work on, the touch does work on an iPhone SE 2 though?
