Hi i’ve got an iPhone XS that got water damaged in the top killing the light sensor. i’ve managed to make run the phone by disconnecting the flex cable of the earpiece from the motherboard. However vibrations weren’t working and the phone was laggy sometimes freezing on apps launching and multitasking and it also had an annoying volume problem ( the volume rose to max on its own ). However i’ve bought a new charging port flex and installed it yesterday. now the phone has audio and vibrations working and no more audio bug, but somehow lags and freezes crashing. i’ve figured out that camera is not working good , especially the telephoto camera which could not launch. i’ve disconnected all the cameras ( front 3 module flexes and the 2 rear flexes ) and now it seems to work very very fast , like brand new without freezing at all. the point is that it sometimes reboots randomly ( after a crash ) and i’ve noticed it does not charge ( I plug the charging cable and it charges but after rebooting it does not charge at all ) , i’ve left it yesterday charging and this morning I found it charged zero. What could be the problem for this?? Damaged battery??? i’ve noticed that the battery is not very nice but it is still fine. Ill link two links of a video where all the flexes are connected and it lags and another where I disconnect the camera and it runs smooth https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XcWD0Iu… https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wOPXHeb…
Repairing water damaged devices is always hit or miss. Some phones recover fine, even with no intervention. Others require hours and hours of work and replacement parts and they still remain unstable. It seems you have the latter. Most microsoldering repair techs no longer offer to “repair” water damaged devices for this reason, they can be inherently unstable. I would remove the logic board, connect it to a known good, preferably non water damaged, lightning flex and battery. Then connect it to 3uTools so that you can see if it is connected. If it cant maintain a stable connection in this condition, then you should consider cutting your losses. The water has probably seeped inside the pcb sandwich and this is what’s causing your issues.
Hello Antonio, I managed to fix my phone. After some research i found forum talking about this issue. Here are the links iPhone X restarts every few minutes after back housing replacement. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250… I went and check the Analytics Data which is provided by the phone when there is an issue. Settings -> Privacy -> Analytics & Improvements -> Analytics Data I found many reports intitled “Panic-full“. And after reading the different forums i saw some suggestions telling to change the charging port with an Original or OEM Part. That is were the issue comes from. So i went to a repair shop and bought a “Used Original iPhone XS charging port”. Went back home and assembled everything and VOILA the different issue were no more. No more lags when the cameras are connectedNo more restarting after 3 min.Everything works greatI hope this will be helpfull
Same issue over here. I replaced the charging flex cable with new OEM and the problem is still there. Any solutions?
The problem is from the flex connector Replace it with an original one and the problem would stop
