iPhone 8 Plus: Vibration doesnt work accept home button

Sun, 08 Sep 2019 13:40:24 -0700

Vibration is only working in home button feedback but not in other cases like the system wide haptic feedback or vibration on ringtone.

i severely broke my phone & had to change the casing by placing my motherboard onto another iphone 8 plus casing which was icloud locked.

After that I’m facing 4 problems

Haptic feedback works only on home button (tried changing setting and restore iphone)

# No airpod prompt when I open the lid, cant connect it instantly, gets disconnected often

low wifi range
Most often only 2 bars in cellular network indicator.
can anyone suggest me a fix?
thanks in advance

iPhone 8 Plus: Vibration rattles and lacks complex patterns after Taptic Engine swap.

Mon, 12 Aug 2019 12:56:07 -0700

My Taptic Engine was going out on my 8+ so I ordered another for when it actually finally kicked the bucket. Replaced it yesterday with no issues. After turning on my phone though, the vibration makes this really loud metallic-ish buzz that is very audible. In addition, I cannot use any of the custom vibration patterns that are normally allowed. When my phone rings, it buzzes only once at the very beginning.

Has as anyone experienced this? I want to take it out and fiddle with it but I installed a new seal as well and only bought one of those.

iPhone 8 Plus: iPhone will not charge or turn on

Sun, 28 Jul 2019 12:37:06 -0700

iPhone 8 plus is completely unresponsive, including when plugged in. Tried to charge when plugged into PC (iTunes will not recognize a phone is plugged in) and into wall with multiple ac adapters and cables. I've tried hard reset and dfu mode but nothing will make the phone respond. There's no water damage and the exterior is in very good condition. Any suggestions besides taking it to an Apple store?

iPhone 8 Plus: The touch on my phone works, but no display shown.

Tue, 23 Jul 2019 01:03:08 -0700

My phone got water damaged but the indicator for it has not turned red (SIM card slot area). The phone responds to touch, the Buttons all work however there isn't any haptic feedback. When the phone is on, the alarm goes off and I can turn it off by pressing the screen. The charging port also still works.

iPhone 8 Plus: Does anyone know about wifi reprogramming?

Wed, 15 May 2019 13:08:13 -0700

I sent my iPhone 8 for professional repair and the tech said he repaired the chip but now it needs reprogramming. He said he’s waiting for his reprogrammer to be returned from China.

Does this sound correct or is he pulling my leg? I’ve been waiting 2 months and apparently it still hasn’t arrived.

The phone works perfect except for wifi.

iPhone 8 Plus: iPhone 8 plus home button rapid firing after LCD replacement?

Wed, 15 May 2019 04:44:57 -0700

I recently did a screen repair on an iphone 8 plus. Everything was working fine, it was a routine screen replacement. The home button came out intact, but as I tested it out with the new screen the home button became extra sensitive. It rapid fires as I press it down it shows the recently used applications instead of using siri. Has anyone else had this problem before? Is there a fix for it or should I just send it in to apple for repair?

I want to learn how to take off the iPhone 8 back glass but not the full back housing. I attempted it in the pictures but I don’t want to have to do it so rough next time. Don’t worry it wasnt a full phone in there. It was just the housing for parts. Future tips and tricks would be very helpful!!! Thank you!

iPhone 8 Plus: Phone touchscreen works before pressing it into body

Thu, 07 Mar 2019 19:44:53 -0700

I replaced the phone screen on my iPhone 8 Plus and tested it before placing it into the body of the phone. The phone reacts to touch until it is clicked into the bottom of the phone then immediately looses response to any input.

Any suggestions?

iPhone 8 Plus: Home button stopped working

Fri, 01 Mar 2019 17:30:20 -0700

I replaced a lot of things on an 8+ and after putting everything back the home button stopped working. The screen wasn’t replaced but the homebutton was the only thing that stopped working. Could it just be the ribbon cable that connects to the logic board and if i wan’t to keep touch id would it still work?

iPhone 8 Plus: Rear camera only working in Facebook?

Tue, 15 Jan 2019 16:27:36 -0700

Okay so I dropped my phone pretty bad, the back of the phone has lost a lot of glass but that doesn’t bother me too much, what does bother me is the rear camera isn’t working anymore, it’s just black on the camera app, snapchat and everything else apart from Facebook where it works.I was going to replace the rear camera but then got thinking and if the camera still works in Facebook, does that mean it’s a connection or processor that has broken/disconnected and not the camera has broken. Any advice on what it could be?

thanks in advance

iPhone 8 Plus: Home button stopped working after the repair

Tue, 20 Nov 2018 06:36:15 -0700

I replaced the broken screen on the iPhone 8 Plus and everything looks great but now the home button isn’t working. I’m worried I may have damaged the ribbon cable getting it apart. Is it a lost cause or is it worth taking it apart again? I can sorta use the phone with the virtual home button, but it’s not ideal.

iPhone 8 Plus: How to get a home button working?

Sun, 12 Aug 2018 09:32:07 -0700

I have an iPhone 8 plus that I bought as a project to fix and get going again, then possibly sell. I have ordered most parts, except for the back glass (hard to find a product red OEM one for a decent price..), and the parts have started arriving now.

However, I’ve been doing some reading on the home button. I have the original button, but not the connectors/flex cables. Is there any way to get a working home button? Would it work if I got an iCloud locked 8/8 Plus and stole the home button? i’m aware touch ID wont work, I just need a functioning home button. I will continue with my own research, but any help would be appreciated.
