iPhone 8 Plus: iPhone 8 plus touch and freezing issues after screen replacement

Mon, 26 Jun 2023 06:07:31 -0700

I replaced the screen on an iPhone 8 plus with iOS 12.0 installed, a few days later the touch became intermittent, sometimes it works great sometimes and won’t respond. I updated to iOS 12.2 hoping to resolve the issue but the issue only got worse. screen sometimes would just freeze, I tab the messages app and it won’t respond after a few tabs now it works, screen is too sensitive, all apps could start to wiggle as if I touched and held an app longer that 3-4 second when in reality I barely touched it. I re-installed the original cracked screen and now it completely frozen, I installed a brand new screen and its still frozen. Please help!

iPhone 8 Plus: Proven lockscreen bypass for iPhone 8 Plus

Thu, 04 Aug 2022 12:53:47 -0700

Had a vindictive , psycho ex get hold of my phone and now, cannot do anything. Locked out…she changed the passcode and who knows what else. Does anyone know of a sure-fire way to bypass lockscreen so I can re-set everything? Tried a few “apps” I found from Googling, but so far …nada. Pretty good phone I’d hate to see go to waste.

[IPhone 8 Plus- 2018 model)

Hoping?

iPhone 8 Plus: Is there a way to repair rubber edges after backglass replacement?

Mon, 04 Apr 2022 11:24:50 -0700

Hello
I have replaced the backglass of an iPhone 8 plus. While removing the cracked glass I have accidently cut the outer rim of plastic/rubber with the razor. I was wondering if there is anyway to repair this or in someway hide the damage as well as possible.

Thanks in advance

iPhone 8 Plus: iPhone 8 Plus Won't Turn on After Replacing Screen and Battery

Fri, 19 Jun 2020 01:29:51 -0700

Hey guys, recently I just replaced my iPhone screen and battery simultaneously. I put all together and it works great. However, I woke up the next morning to the phone completely dead. I thought it’d be a simple fix but my phone won’t reset, turn on, or anything. I’ve tried everything to figure out what the problem could be I disconnected the battery and put in the charger but the screen won’t turn on either so I took out the screen and installed my old broken screen with the charger and still nothing worked. I examined the connectors and everything on the phone but everything looked fine. I could really use some help here because I’m just in high school and can’t afford a new phone.

iPhone 8 Plus: iPhone 8 screen missing top clips that are on iPhone 7 screens?

Wed, 19 Feb 2020 14:26:43 -0700

I just fixed an 8 plus screen, and then it literally fell off of the phone, ripped the cables clean off. I noticed that the top clips that used to slide the iphone 7 screens into the body are missing, and have been replaced with little metal brackets that don’t clip into anything… Is it just the waterproofing adhesive strip that holds this screen in? Also, on the 8, they switched the bottom screw clips from metal to plastic, so it’s no wonder this screen just fell off after a day. I guess I have to put the waterproofing adhesive on, but is there anything else that’s holding these screens together? https://blog.rewatechnology.com/wp-conte...

iPhone 8 Plus: Rear Camera Blurry After Back Glass Repair

Sun, 12 Oct 2025 03:43:20 -0700

Hi,

I sent a couple of iPhone 8 Plus phones off recently for back glass repairs and when I received them back I noticed that the cameras are now blurry and not able to focus. I’ve tried around 3 different cameras now and each one has a blurred image so it cannot be the actual camera. Any ideas?

iPhone 8 Plus: iPhone 8 plus won’t turn on

Thu, 27 Jul 2023 16:13:35 -0700

After several years of abuse, the battery health was low and needed to be charged 2-3 times per day. At one point it would hardly take a charge and one morning simply did not turn on anymore. I got a new phone and forgot about it. Now i decided to get it working again, ordered a battery kit with the tools and screen seal etc. Replaced the battery nothing. No apple logo no « black screen » just nothing. Tried to connect to a computer and still nothing. Wireless charger got it charged just fine though. Using my new phone i was able to look at the pins in the port and one pin is out of place. Looked it up on google and it would be the power pin( 4th or 5th pin depending on how you look at it) this explains the connection trouble but could it be the reason why it doesn’t turn on? Any ideas?

iPhone 8 Plus: Phone battery draining FASTER after battery replacement.

Wed, 25 Jan 2023 00:54:50 -0700

I had my phone battery replaced today because for a while it had been draining fast and it said it was at 78% performance and I should have it serviced. Since I got it back, it says 100% peak performance, but the battery is draining faster than it ever used to. I was surfing the internet as usual, no videos playing no images, just reading on websites I frequently use, and I watched the battery go from 75 to 35 in one hour. This never happened before. Bluetooth off, WiFi on and connected, full brightness (as usual), and nothing out of the ordinary (also no other apps on). What’s going on?

I’m planning to replace my front camera flex cable, because the earpiece speaker contacts are broken. I heard that True Tone would stop working after replacing the front camera. (Source: Reddit)

Are there tools that can reprogram the front camera’s serial number and how?

After a screen replacement on the 8 plus and shorting out the proximity flex by not putting the black sticker on correctly covering the gold plates, can I save the flex cable by re-alligning the black sticker, connecting it back to motherboard, would this then fix it or is my only answer buying a replacement proxy flex?
