iPhone 6s: I phone 6s ringer not ringing

Wed, 19 Jun 2019 04:29:36 -0700

I have recently had my screen repaired. My phone now goes to voice mail when someone tries to call the first time if they hang up and call back it will then ring and I can answer it. I carried it back to the place that replaced the screen and they said it was the server I don’t know how that is possible. Any suggestions.

iPhone 6s: New screen not working on the right edge

Tue, 11 Jun 2019 16:26:43 -0700

I just purchased a new 6s screen & digitizer replacement and everything fit perfectly and plugged in great, although I am having issues with the touch responding on the right edge of the screen. Wondering if you guys know a fix for this or is this a defective digitizer under the glass? Thanks for your help..

iPhone 6s: Screen is unresponsive after a drop

Sat, 08 Jun 2019 19:53:23 -0700

I dropped my phone on the ground yesterday, and the LCD faded out. I figured it was just a screen problem, but I replaced the screen twice, and neither worked. I was able to put it into recovery mode after the drop, but I do not want to restore it yet because I do not believe my notes are backed up, and I am not sure if that will fix the problem. I was wondering if anyone has a hardware fix to this problem.The phone hasn’t had any problems before, and the drop did not do any exterior damage. It landed face down, and the screen did not crack. I do not think I will be able to recover my notes if I can’t fix my phone because they are not backed up, and I can not trust a computer from my iPhone to export them off of the phone. Thanks-Alec

iPhone 6s: iPhone charging only when powered ON.

Sat, 01 Jun 2019 06:14:08 -0700

Hi! I got an iphone 6s that is NOT water damaged and it is charging only when it is powered ON. If the phone is switched OFF( turned OFF completely ) it wont charge and it wont boot up when i plug the charger like it should do. I also saw that it has a normal and fast boot, and when it is powered ON with screen OFF it is taking(measured on battery slot) 0.11A then jumps to 0.15A then goes back to 0.11A all over the time!

I measured that on an OK iphone 6 and when powered ON with screen turned OFF, it takes absolutely 0.00A, so that must happen on my iphone 6s too, but i dont know why it dont.

Becasue of that, of course the battery drains faster ( about 5-6% per hour) doint nothing on my phone, and it is charging a little harder than it should.

I also realized that my phone says that my screen was turned off only 19 minutes, even if i didnt touched the phone for a day.

After doing some research i think it might be TRISTAR IC, but i want to know your opinions!

Thank you!

iPhone 6s: Looking for a schematic of the iPhone 6s

Wed, 29 May 2019 23:48:55 -0700

Hi there,

I just got a micro soldering kit..

Cannot find a good schematic of the iPhone 6s board

In particular looking for the back camera chip so that I can potentially fix the issue where it loads to a black screen even with new cameras installed.

Any one know where to locate the schematic?

iPhone 6s: Why do I have no sound?

Wed, 20 Mar 2019 06:41:18 -0700

I have looked on many forums and YouTube videos, but my speakers do not work whatsoever and I have tried restarting my device and making sure do not disturb is off and that my sound setting are okay. I would find this as a hardware problem, but my headphone jack doesn’t work either. I tried multiple headphones and none of them work. The only sound that comes out is the speaker at the top when someone calls me. I would like to figure this out, Thanks!

iPhone 6s: Replacement Screen goes blank when waken from idle/timeout.

Sun, 24 Feb 2019 03:59:21 -0700

I wonder if anybody can give me a pointer as to what is going wrong my replacement screen for an iphone 6s, when I installed the screen i can get it only to work when the screen is popped out and has no pressure on a certain area of the screen.Once the screen is placed into the frame it works up until the screen goes idle, when its idle I try to wake it up but only the backlight works. I can pop the screen out of the frame it will start working again and once it is out I can put the phone in idle and wake it up without a problem.

iPhone 6s: Do I have to disconnect the display when replacing the battery?

Thu, 14 Feb 2019 14:29:34 -0700

I am just wondering if not disconnecting the display cables will have any negative effects because it is a lot quicker to replace the battery if I don’t remove the cables.

iPhone 6s: 2.4ghz wifi and bluetooth not working, but 5ghz wifi and LTE are fine

Fri, 25 Jan 2019 19:15:50 -0700

I was having this issue with both an iPhone 6s and an iPhone 6. I replaced the wifi antennae on the iPhone 6, which fixed the problem perfectly. However, with the 6s I’ve replaced both the top-left antennae and the wifi diversity antennae cable. Neither fixed the issue. I see the 2.4ghz wifi networks, but it won’t accept my password and connect. Bluetooth works within about 6”, but anything beyond that cuts out. Ideas ?

iPhone 6s: Can I recover my data from my iPhone that won't turn on?

Mon, 07 Jan 2019 05:58:17 -0700

I've had my iPhone since of May 2017 . Out of no where it wouldn't charge , for hours I was going through iPhone chargers to see if they would work and wouldn't . It would charge but it wouldn't turn on . U would leave it charging overnight & sometimes it would turn on with only 3% battery or it wouldn't turn on at all . It showed it was charging but wouldn't turn on . So I go & buy a new cheap charger from a gas station & with good luck it turned on , but the only problem was that the battery would die so quickly . In at least an hou it would go from 100% to 20% . I didn't mind as much because I was happy that it was at least charging . So about a week later I took my phone off he charger to take it with me some where & when I came back to charge it , it would say “ access not supported “ or something like that . Then I was back in the same situation I was in . So at this point I just waned a new phone . I tried to go to my icloud on my computer to see if I could recover my data but now apparently they send some code to the iPhone that I need or I can't get in . I couldn't see the code because obviously my phone wouldn't turn on . So is there a way Apple could restore my data ?

iPhone 6s: Data Recovery - Challenging Case

Sat, 01 Dec 2018 09:30:44 -0700

In a lapse of judgment I attempted to replace my wife's iPhone 6s screen and something went wrong and on power up to test the screen I could smell that something fried.

After than all I could get the phone to do is charge and connect to itunes (never been backed up , never trusted)

I took the device to a reputable recovery and repair company in Houston who had the device for 8 months and there was no success, they replaced many components and could never get the screen to be recognized by the device. No way to enter the pass-code or trust.

I also had them try using a USB keyboard and a set of key strokes using a specific set of adapters to allow power to both. I had previously tried every recovery software I could get my hands on but could never get past the Trust issue.

I had the device sent to Drive Savers who said the device would not power on or connect to itunes and send it back. So now I am worse off than before I have a device that will not power on on top of what was described above.

I can beat you to the punch, yes its ridiculous to have never backed it up, especially before working on it. That is however passed and I cannot go back. The pictures and videos on the device are priceless to my wife and I am reaching out hoping to find a way to recover the data. I saw discussion here of people doing board swaps and things i had not heard of prior. I don't need the phone to function beyond the ability to remove the data and I am pretty desperate, this is a major strain on my marriage when coupled with an already strained relationship. I want to give her this history back.

Is there a way to recover the data if the main board is not operable or reparable? I've scoured the internet for the best of the best in iPhone recovery and repair and its been a lost cause. My only hope is finding someone willing to try that understands the challenge. Is there anybody out there that does advanced recovery like this?
