Network problem solution: SIM Note that the network appears to be fake, and when attempting to connect, it shows a connection failure.

The solution to the problem is: iphone xr The network does not exist; it appears to be fake, and when attempting to connect, the result is a connection failure.

Have been repairing iPhones for the quite a while now.

I recently repaired 2 XRs and have issues with FaceID not working where settings says there's an issue with the TrueDepth camera and Portrait mode with the front camera tells to you move further away.

Both times were very similar, first time I thought it maybe I have damaged the flex cable in the process of transferring the ear speaker flex but after this 2nd time in nearly the exact same process of how it stops working. I have some theories and suspect something else is going on and it may be done intentionally by Apple, so I want to know if anyone else here had similar experiences/

Both times, Face ID had no error message after installing new screen, the moment I seal the phone in and turn off airplane mode and the phone connects to the internet. Face ID breaks. now I'm not 100% sure its thatat this stage given I only get one chance to test this per phone. I have double checked all Face ID component connections to the logic board.

Even turning airplane mode on at this point won't fix it. My theory is that the phone is doing some checks when its connected to the internet and disables face id on purpose, what it's checking I have yet to find out.

When I connect the new battery to the board the phone is making a buzzing noise and the components near the connector are getting hot. When I connect the old battery nothing happens.

Could it be another issue then the old battery which caused the phone to not turn on anymore? Maybe the old battery didn't charge anymore because if this and now when I connect the new battery everything is powered again and the real issues surfaces?

I used a BEBAT brand battery, and after installing it, I got a "Battery Not Recognized" message. When I tried to check details in Settings, the screen went white/gray and the phone powered off.

I'm wondering: Would an iFixit battery prevent this error? And do you have any advice for troubleshooting?

I notice that in the waiting time for the new screen to arrive, that a tiny piece of metal that seems to float between the lens gubbins and the new screen has disappeared! See the two screen shots from the how to video I am using. Does anyone know what this piece does? And more importantly, will the phone/camera work without it? Can a replacement be purchased?

Any help will be gratefully received. Thanks in advance.
