I got my iPhone 6 screen professionally replaced at a third-party store (someone other than Apple) after it flew out of my pocket when I jumped and the screen smashed, the top of the screen also popped out. The phone worked fine when I gave it to them other than damaged screen, it’s now super laggy, it can’t get cell service, the battery is stuck at 1% and it seems to not charge (I think it does charge as I drained the phone and plugged it in and it eventually turned back on but very quickly died again). I will be taking it back to where I got it fixed tomorrow but I was wondering if there was a fix I could do myself before I do take it back? Can’t find anyone online with my exact issue. P.S. The phone actually worked fine when they gave it back to me (other than it seemed to not charge). These problems occurred after restarting the phone (the restart also takes a very long time) which is where the battery went from 34% to 1% after the restart and I lost cell service (it is stuck on searching for my provider)… the phone wasn’t that laggy at first after restart but is now barely useable.
Although I can’t be certain, it sounds to me like the Charging port if both issues are related. The common link between charging and Searching is the Port due to it being responsible for charging your phone and having the Antenna for service on it….if that does not fix it, it sounds like a Tristar (U2) IC chip needs replaced to fix the charging issue. It is not a DIY repair as it requires removing the logic board, a metal shield covering the IC and Microsoldering. But a very common issue with the 6 models mainly due to using a non original Apple charger even though I have seen and heard it happening when customers claim to only use Apple Certified (Authorized) chargers. Besides the Charging issue, is your Iphone recognized by Itunes when you attach it to your computer? If your shop does not do Microsoldering repairs, I would try to find a Reputable local shop that does…and if you can’t find a local shop that does this repair, search through some of the Pros here and most offer a mail in service…even not charging if it can’t be repaired but pretty certain yours is. The Searching issue however sounds like a separate issue and could have to have further troubleshooting to determine what that is.
I would take it back to where you got it fixed and explain this all to them. Sounds like they may have messed something up in the repair process. Not positive wihtout seeing it, but From changing a screen you don’t mess with anything as far as cell service , at least you shouldn’t Besides the sim. you could try putting it in Airplane Mode and taking it back out, or taking out the sim and re seating it back in place, see if you service picks up then. If it is saying no service that can drain the battery from constantly searching. I would definitely take it back to the repair shop and ask that the tech double check his work.
I have similar issue, it is stuck on 1% with charging sign on. I have cleaned the charging port, turned off the phone and restarted using the home and power buttons simultaneously until the log appeared - without a success. I can access the phone services (connected to iTunes) but it goes off without being able to see or received the code. Don’t know what to do about it.
