Chosen Solution
Hello guys!! I fixed it an iPhone 6 for a customer on Saturday everything was ok but I didn’t test the phone. The customer came on Monday and he says that the ear speaker won’t work. I open the phone everything is connected properly on the front camera ear speaker but the phone gets really hot and the front camera and ear speaker doesn’t work. You guys have any idea? Best.
Well I just replaced the front camera cable for a new one and problem solve, the best option is to replace that cable for a new one. Best.
I had the same problem but I solved it. Face camera and ear speaker were not working however proximity sensor was… weird… however I bought a new cable (really cheap, ~$10) and now works perfectly fine. For future repairs.. be really careful when plugging those cables back, they are relatively weak and can be damaged even without noticing!
Anytime a phone overheats it’s almost always short related. Always check to make sure parts you’re installing doesn’t have exposed metal to metal contact and looks identical to the original. Visual inspection goes a long way to prevent future damage.
Hi Julio, It sounds like you may have damaged the front camera flex cable, replacing this should help. :-)
Same here, I am sure I ruined the front facing camera assembly, battery draining really quickly.
Hey I’m wondering if this solution worked for you, I am having all of the same problems after replacing my 6 plus screen. Phone runs very hot (near the top of device, almost 100% sure it’s not the battery although the batter does drain much quicker than it used to) The ear speaker does not work nor does the front facing camera. So did this solution solve your problems? I am driving myself crazy one issue after the other.
okay you need to readjust the front facing camera/earpiece assembly because you obviously did it wrong. It also helps to watch a youtube video on how to repair it before you fix the phone so you’re aware of how the cable assembly is placed this is crucial in making sure your phone works properly!!!!!
i have this issue as well and the phone gets hot around the earpiece after a while battery seems to drain fast as well screen has a wite cloud like line under the earpiece and can only be seen on white pages earpiece has a low buzzing as well p.s. i also noticed the front camera is kinda foggy could this be water damage top portion of screen is kinda sticking out of the frame please help!
This is happening to my wife’s phone right now. I replaced the screen on her 6s. The repair went very smoothly, and the phone worked great for a short time. Now the screen freezes, does not respond to touch, and today she told me a message popped up telling her the phone was over heating and that it needed to cool down before use. She restarted it and it worked, but now there is a white line on the screen below the front facing camera. This sounds like the problem above. I don’t have the time to replace the parts beyond the screen. Any one with a wife will know that you can’t keep them from their phone too long without consequences. I recall the camera, speaker and ambient light sensor part of the screen repair was a little difficult.
The problem is with these none OEM wires and connectors. The OEM ones are thick and hears a distinct snap sound to let installer know when it’s in place! We all know what happens with small wires, they tend to overheat! I went back to the old OEM screen and the overhear issue is gone! This tells me that it’s a bad after market part!
