iPhone X: How to turn on my iPhone X?

Wed, 22 Aug 2018 14:55:31 -0700

So I went to the pool with my brand new iPhone x. I don't know if we went over the dept of 3 feet maybe a little to 4 feet. And we were in the pool for almost 20 mins until the screen started to go green kind of glitch, it vibrated then it just shut off. So then I tried turning it on , pressing on and volume button then it made like a siren noise then vibrated some more at the bottom of the screen. so once I got home I tried a lot of things It just will not turn on and it wont make any noise now. This was yesterday so its been a night. Can you please give me some answers? And its been on charge a long time!

iPhone X: iTunes restore error 56

Sat, 11 Aug 2018 15:49:15 -0700

I keep trying to restore my iPhone X with iTunes and receive an error 56 every time. I have updated to the latest iTunes, tried different computers, new lightning cable , and closed all programs except for iTunes. I see there is software sold on the internet such as “dr fone” that claims to fix this problem. I’ve read this is probably a hardware issue. The phone just stays stuck on the recovery screen. I have also tried to put the phone in dfu mode and tried to restore with no success. I consider my phone permanently dead and willing to experiment on it to try to bring it back to life. Any thoughts on how I should approach this problem. Thx.

iPhone X: Can someone check the external temperature of the phone?

Tue, 07 Aug 2018 17:42:10 -0700

Wondering if anyone can check the external temperature of there phone to see if my phone is normal or not. In a 72-75 degree fahrenheit room, scrolling through facebook or switching between sites on safari can cause the phone to hit 90 degrees…

This also happens on my 7…

I would appreciate this so much. Thank you.

iPhone X: Question about Face-ID and replacing the screen.

Sat, 07 Jul 2018 10:04:19 -0700

Hi there, I'd like an answer from someone who has actually replaced the iPhone X screen.

There are some rumours that Face-ID will stop working when you replace just the display, and some deny it.

How was the repair and did Face-ID stop working?

iPhone X: iPhone 7, 8 and X feels warm-ish doing daily tasks Specifically under

Fri, 29 Jun 2018 05:24:24 -0700

My iPhone's can get a bit warm when using day to day tasks, such as mildly intensive browsing to imore, macrumors, and reddit. Using Appolo can also warm it up. Facebook app can also make it feel a bit warm, and even making phone calls can warm it up.

Are all of these normal to heat up the phone? Temp gun can read up to 34.4C (94 F)

Thank you everyone.

iPhone X: iPhone x and 7 heating up to 90 degrees

Fri, 22 Jun 2018 11:58:13 -0700

This happens on my 7 and X seperate apple ID's as one is for business

When I put my iPhone against my skin specifically he top right corner it feels warm. I borrowed a thermometer from a friend and t was reading 88-91 when making phone calls and also doing daily things like reddit facebook and safari.

I’ve read some people say it’s normal and others not so I was hoping some people could let me know or actually check the temp of there phone after 30 minutes of moderate use? The phone call was only roughly 7-10 minutes and I can check with a thermometer and it will be 90 degrees, no case on it just holding it against my face when talking.

Is this hand heat? Is it normal?

Thanks!

iPhone X: Face ID not working correctly

Wed, 13 Jun 2018 03:44:22 -0700

Screen replaced with OEM part. Face ID intialises but is not working as it should.

When user rotates head during setup, it only picks up around 3/4 of the Face. Other times it can’t find a Face and just blues.

Any ideas? Checked connections, restarted phone etc.

I don’t believe the cable has become damaged as it is not saying ‘Face ID unavailable’.

iPhone X: Help! my iPhone x died!

Mon, 02 Jun 2025 11:23:37 -0700

I dropped my iPhone X and it died. It got painfully hot and is completely unresponsive. RIP. Any ideas how I could transfer my data? I forgot my Apple ID password (LOL), and the reset request could take up to 4 days because I don't have access to my original device. I don't necessarily need the device functioning, I just need the data to transfer to my new phone... I can't wait 4 days as I'm travelling tomorrow and can't afford to spend 90 quid in the local tech shop because I'm a broke student haha. Any ideas?

iPhone X: iPhone X connects to WiFi, but no bars in the corner of the screen.

Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:03:21 -0700

Hi, I have an iPhone X with a WiFi issue.

it finds WiFi networks fine, and can connect to them - but the WiFi isn’t actually functioning. There are no bars in the top right corner of the screen, and web pages won’t load.

I have swapped the WiFi antenna twice, with no luck. Is this likely to be a board issue at this point?

It’s got a replacement back case after it was dropped. Everything else seems to function fine, aside from FaceID, which was broken during disassembly.

iPhone X: Accidentally damaged one of the Grounding Pads at the bottom

Tue, 11 Feb 2025 08:44:04 -0700

I was trying to remove the adhesive and accidentally damaged one of the pins/caps (I don't know what it is). The first one from the right "grounding pads" (as ifixit refers to them) came out (not completely thought but it's loose). I found this image from the ifixit repair guide. i didn't face any problems yet but I'm so worried. Can anyone know if this will cause any problems later or if it has already done something that I didn't notice?

iPhone X: Parts of iPhone X screen not working

Mon, 20 Jan 2025 08:17:38 -0700

I have replaced my iPhone X screen with an ifixit screen replacement I ordered. I have attached a video showing my issue. The top and middle portions of the screen don’t work. I initially thought this may be a bad screen. However, the whole screen seems to work when tapping to wake as you can see. Is this a calibration issue? Any ideas? Baby rocker in background lol
