Replacement Battery - Reboot Issue
Hi,
got my IFIXIT-replacement battery for the 3GS. After installing, reboots occur after about 7 minutes. Tried every tweak, including iReb, jailbreaking.. problem stays.
When switching to the old battery, problem disappears, but (and thats the real problem):
now, I got absolutely no reception. WiFi and GPS are still working. Is there any possibility that i compromised the connectors to the GSM module somehow?
My guesses beside that:
Could it be that Connector No.3 goes "deeper" into its socket than I think and it affects reception?
Could it be that the "Do not remove"-sticker has some conducting ability? I did remove it completely because it wouldn't come off in one piece..
---
Possible Solutions (?) :
Could replacing the GSM module help (which isn't that costly)? Could you give me tipps for re-installiung?
Please help,
Tom from Austria

thomas don't worry about your sticker...it's for the warranty..no apple magic in it. but it is over a screw that holds the battery in place... follow hector's advice and return the battery. check your connector 7

Hi! Thank you all for the quick response. That's right, I should have added the connector 7 to my 'guesses' list, cause i had some diffculties 'clicking' it back into its socket. I tried it lots of times before it stayed in place, maybe some damage occured there. I'll try to magnify next time to see what really goes on while connecting No. 7.
Has anyone had a similar problem with No.7 and can give me some tips?
best regards,
Thomas

it's just a single pin inside a central ring (from the dock) that sits inside a ring on the motherboard, you have to really get up close and personal to make sure the top connection sits over the top of the bottom, annoyingly it doesn't tend to make pops or clicks so you can hear as well as see it's on! it is quite stable and won't be nudged off..

Update: Support of IFIXIT is sending me a new battery. I'm really impressed, something like this would never happen in Europe (let alone Austria). Thumbs up !!
