iPhone 6s Plus: My iPhone 6S+ camera won't stop shaking?

Sun, 11 Dec 2022 07:36:28 -0700

The camera on my iPhone 6S+ has recently begun shaking uncontrollably for absolutely no reason whenever the app is open. Video timelapse, everything is affected the same way, no matter what app is used. I've scoured the internet looking for others having the same problem, and I have found plenty of *6+* users but no 6S+ phones affected. Does anyone have a quick fix or do I need to send the phone back?

iPhone 6s Plus: Taptic Engine makes a rattle noise when vibrating or activated

Sun, 13 Mar 2022 11:41:25 -0700

When 3D Touch is activated or any vibration occurs, the Taptic Engine makes a rattling noise that either sounds look a faulty spring or perhaps a loose screw in the device quite possibly being the screw used on the audio jack based upon the tear down photos posted. What could possibly be the issue and or fix?

iPhone 6s Plus: Half screen darker than other

Mon, 26 Dec 2022 11:31:27 -0700

Bear in mind this doesn't have to do with lines. It's the brightness of the screen, darker on one side than another, and this is on a new screen.

This is a new screen, and for some reason it's darker too left, but more dark on almost all the left side. I've never had this happen before. Has anyone else seen this or know why?

iPhone 6s Plus: Why is there a spreading black spot on my screen?

Sat, 10 Sep 2022 08:25:45 -0700

I put my phone in the washing machine (I know, I know, but I was super distracted and had thrown it in with the laundry) and got it out before it started (although it was already soaked). I dried it, took off the case, and put it in rice for 24 hours. Now there is a big dark mark at the bottom of my screen along with a white box and it seems to be spreading up my screen? HELP!

Just replaced the touch screen on a friend's phone, and it's completely unresponsive, LCD works fine though. Old screen is also completely unresponsive with LCD working. Anything I can do to try and fix this or did I bust the connector on the motherboard itself?

iPhone 6s Plus: How to turn off phone without screen? I do NOT want to restart.

Thu, 15 May 2025 02:23:47 -0700

My boss wants me to turn off his iPhone. His screen is broken, so he cannot slide the slider to do so. A hard reset or restarting does not fix the problem. I do not know why he wants it turned off or why that matters, but that is what I need to be possible. Is there any way to do this without just draining the battery all of the way? I don't need to reboot, and I don't need to do a hard reset, I need to do a hard reset, I need the phone to turn off and then not turn back on afterward. I saw a suggestion online saying to hold the home and power button and let go right when it turns black, but this does not seem to work, as the phone still restarts.

iPhone 6s Plus: Broken Screen, can I use the iPhone 6 Plus display to repair?

Tue, 26 May 2020 18:06:58 -0700

Hello,

I just purchased the iPhone 6s Plus and cracked the screen. It is so new there is no info about it or any replacement displays for sale yet. Could I purchase a iPhone 6 Plus display and install it on my 6s plus or would it not be compatible? I understand the 6s has force touch and the 6 doesn't so maybe that affects the screen. If anyone has an idea as to what I should do please let me know.

iPhone 6s Plus: Compass and Auto-Rotate malfunction after screen replacement

Tue, 23 Jun 2020 11:45:06 -0700

Hey there,

Yesterday replaced my cracked screen and all went well except one thing, when I boot for the first time noticed that the screen won't "raise to wake" and I started searching for solutions, found out that my motion sensor won't work (auto rotate doesn't work) and my compass is stuck at 0º.

I am writing to you in hope that you have a solution, all the other iPhone functions like front facing camera and proximity sensor are working fine. Sporadically the screen wakes when I lift my phone but it happens 1 time in 100..

Help is much appreciated

Artur Amaral

SOLVED

Checked if the flex shield was the problem and the rotation was working with it, when I was closing the phone installed the battery conector shield and that was the problem, without the shield the compass is working fine!

Thank you for your help

Problems have returned..

Shacky icons all the time, shaky video capturing, leveller always moving, raise to wake working inconsistently

After a hard reboot all is okay.. few minutes later the problem returns..

These are some videos explaining what is happening, I'm getting tired of this problem..
