But if i place anything else, be it my a plastic board or even my fingers on the proximity sensor, it fails to work while on call, Hi, I have the same issue! Just a slight difference. What's happening is as you lever the flex out, no matter how carefully, the foam pulls on the prox such that it damages either the solder connection, or the leads of the actual device. Also what does 100%100 mean? Instead, they offer an out of warranty replacement for $199 in the US. This sounds like a possible board issue. After installing the screen, proximity is not working. Surely there is no foam in the 6 and 6plus. In response to duck1098, Apr 8, 2011 7:31 PM in response to duck1098 Repair of this device is similar to the previous models, and requires screwdrivers and prying tools. This issue happened with a 6s I was repairing and the only solution was to replace the screen. I've encountered two different solutions to the issue: 1. I did notice that the proximity sensor was more of a tanish tent, instead of a pinkish/purple tent. If that adhesive isn't hot enough, when you try to lift up the proximity it may possibly cause a bend on the flex cable, which can cause the proximity sensor to lose its connection with the flex cable that the ambient light sensor and front camera are also connect too. @astech.
I haven't yet found my solution online. Because I tried putting the sensor flex back on the old screen and testing it and it stopped working on the old screen as well as the new one. So I get the generic but they cause me more labor. TLDR: Proximity sensor is probably broken, buy an aftermarket replacement on eBay for $8 and be extra careful. Neal Thomas. When I installed the new LCD and touchscreen I didn't transfer it either but know it works just fine.
You have to insert the sensor INTO the sensor holder. Screen Fixed is an independent repair and service company. We have done another 15-20 since my last post and not one has had an issue.

The reason people should not replace their screens themselves is there are electronics built into the screen and interface of the phone. Proximity sensor not working. When the proximity sensor is working and something is in close proximity to the phone, the touchscreen is disabled.
Something on the board must burn out. The main part of the cable that sits directly under the ear speaker (when installed) is very stiff and I believe that the copper wires inside really don't want to be tweaked in the slightest. A solution to your proximity sensor issues after screen repair. You'd think by replacing thr FFC that would solve the it.. the screen on an …, I just wanted to give a
I say that to address that I am experienced in fixing all models of iPhones and have not had this issue with any iPhone 7 or 7 Plus. Okay little annoyed at this point, instinctively I assume the flex cable is seated improperly. Re-seat the cable and still unresponsive. I've never needed to use the heat gun with the iPhone 7 series proximity cable. The aftermarket prox sensors are probably less sensitive, which is why they are working. this thread. We spoke with our supplier and they said some manufactures have a proximity sensor issues with the 6s screens. Now, all my previous attempts with iPhone 5, 5s, and 6plus has resulted in this very issue; i.e. © 2020 iFixit — Licensed under Creative Commons — Privacy — To try this fix, you will have to mark up the replacement glass you are using where the sensor sits. Scratch off the eyelets gently and should do the magic. 04/07/2015 by If it's the solder connection, a quick all round with a rework wand or possibly soldering iron will remake the dry joints and get you working again.
Really, you're asking how Apple would know that you replaced your screen? When I switch it from back camera to the front camera, it flips then go back to the back camera. You have to remove the two holes that are painted on the back of the glass, right in the socket where the proximity sensor is placed.
The symptom of this issue is having a call come in and the phone staying dark until the phone call is done despite putting the phone to and away from your ear. niklasweipertnw. It's not always the screen! After I have glued the speaker grid back not just put back the problem solved. If i put the original lcm back on, it works properly.
The sensor works/screen goes off when I placed my finger on top of the screen but not on the sensor.
Yeah I transferred the proximity cable to a new screen and no luck. In response to kchoffman. Click on any of the
Required fields are marked *. I tried the scotch, another sensor, re-assemblate. I called my supplier (they are refurbishing the lcd's) and he told me it is caused of the wrong placed proximity plastic stuff. First repair was a complete success. Little issues like this just really bug me.
Accessibility. This is a common problem I am running into with screens. After assembly was complete, I powered up my phone to find that only the bottom half of my touch screen worked. It's the holes of the proximity sensor's socket that are not centered. Good Luck. Thank you!
I am so happy I found this thread. If so, return the phone and have it checked. Replacing the flex cable fixes it immediately. I know it works in previous versions of the Iphone but I'm not exactly sure on if it works with Iphone six. Do this first with every IPhone 7? What exactly do you mean ? Yesterday, after a mesh replacement I had the same problem.
