iPhone 5: El microfono del telefono NO funciona SOLO en altavoz

Mon, 19 Nov 2018 14:57:03 -0700

Hola, Quisiera entender como funcionan los microfonos del Iphone 5, para así comprender por que solo el micrófono del altavoz no funciona correctamente.

Cuando uno hace una llamada no se escucha nada al receptor de la llamada. Sin embargo puedo grabar notas de voz sin problemas.

El headphone jack funciona sin problemas también.

Finalmente entender me permitirá seguramente encargar el repuesto que necesito reemplazar si es necesario.

Gracias de antemano!

iPhone 5: iPhone says "This accessory may not be supported"

Thu, 03 Oct 2024 21:00:33 -0700

When I connect my iPhone to the charging cable, it vibrates and says something like, "The accessory may not be certified." I've tried a lot of cables, including original Apple cables, but the results are the same. I've also tried to put my motherboard into another working case, but it does the same thing. Do you know which IC can be broken on my logic board? Thank you.

iPhone 5: Stuck in continuous apple logo loop, turns off when cable removed?

Wed, 26 Jun 2024 03:00:02 -0700

Hi there.

My iPhone 5 (model A1429) will not boot into iOS.

When the power cable is connected, the iPhone boots up initially and displays the apple logo for ~3.5 seconds. Then it goes to a blank screen for another ~2 seconds and the process repeats (indefinitely it seems - at least at this point).

When the power cable is removed, the screen instantly goes blank again. Nothing happens if I press the power button when the iPhone is not connected.

I can get the iPhone into recovery mode by holding the home button before I plug it in, and then it stays on the recovery screen, not coming on and off like the apple logo was earlier. Again, when I unplug the cable it goes back to a powerless blank screen.

The iPhone is detected on iTunes in recovery mode and I have attempted to restore it, using both my MacBook and a Windows PC. Each time, it results in an error at the point when the iPhone appears to restart. I see Error 2001 on the MacBook and Error 21 on the windows PC.

I've updated to the latest iTunes version, restarted the computer several times, and tried different USB ports.

I was also able to get the iPhone into DFU mode, where the screen was blank—but it was recognized in iTunes as being in recovery mode. Just as before, the device will not restore, and I get various error codes across my Mac and PC.

I have since opened the device up and confirmed that the battery is securely attached to the logic board.

It is also worth mentioning that my iPhone is no longer under warranty.

At this point. my assumption is that the battery itself is dead, and won't hold any charge, which is why the device shuts off immediately after removing the power cable. Does this seem reasonable and should I order a new battery? Any other suggestions?

Many thanks,

Bradley

iPhone 5: I see a charging symbol, but the battery percentage is not increasing.

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 01:45:32 -0700

My iPhone 5 was working properly for more than 1.5 years. Now, I'm having a few problems with it. I will explain the problems one by one, after doing all the diagnosis I can on my end:

When I charge my iPhone, it shows the battery percentage indicator, but the battery percentage doesn't increase.
The charge indicator will stick on the number that's currently on the display.
After restarting the phone, I see the battery percentage increase—but this doesn't work every time.
Sometimes the phone charges properly, but I have to face this issue most of the time.
When I do a hard reset (home+power button), the battery percentage drops from around 25% to only 8%.
When I try to connect my phone to my PC, the phone restarts again and again.
Sometimes, when I use my phone while charging, the battery percentage will not increase.
When I charge my phone with the battery below 10%, the phone restarts again and again.
Sometimes, when the battery is totally dead and I try to charge it, the phone won't start, and it will only show the red indicator on the screen.
I've been facing this issue for the past week. My phone is currently on iOS 7.1.1.
When the phone gets to 100% charge, it does not show the full charge indicator on the battery.
I need to unplug and connect a few times to make the iPhone connect to iTunes, but iTunes works fine on the phone.
The phone has never been repaired before.
I've tried changing the charger and cables. I've also recalibrated the battery and performed a restore, but that didn't fix the problem.

Is this issue due to a bad battery, or is there some problem with the phone's logic board?

iPhone 5: iPhone 5 won't activate after factory reset

Tue, 13 May 2025 02:21:00 -0700

iPhone 5 suddenly developed the "Searching..." problem (no cell service, only wifi). After researching, I did a backup on iTunes, then restored all factory settings. Now, phone will not activate! Error message is "Could Not Activate iPhone because activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting to iTunes or try again in a few minutes." Have tried dozens of times through iTunes and wifi, even bought new SIM card, still SAME ERROR.

Any ideas? Shows Wi-Fi is connected, and still Searching...Comm board maybe?

Thanks in advance. This site is awesome!

iPhone 5: My iPhone will not turn on after several hours of charging. HELP?

Fri, 06 Sep 2024 22:51:29 -0700

Alright so my phone has always had a battery problem. By that I mean my battery would be randomly low. For instance, I could charge it for an hour and it'll be 100% and as soon as I take it off the charger it would be on 70%.

In the past when my phone has died completely, it would take an hour or more for the phone to come back on after being on the charger.

Yesterday, my phone was freezing up so I willingly turned it off at 50%. I let it sit for about 10 minutes before turning it back on. When I went to turn it back on, it showed the low battery symbol. So I plugged it up to the charger and let it charge for at least 2 hours. But it still wouldnt come on. I tried pressing the home and power button at the same time but when I do, it shows the low battery symbol. So I gave up and let my phone charge overnight, hoping it would turn on at some point. My phone had been on the charging at this point for about 8 or 9 hours and it still wont turn on. What do I do???

iPhone 5: iPhone 5 front glass panel separating/lifting away from body?

Wed, 05 Feb 2025 01:32:29 -0700

Very oddly, on my iPhone 5, I noticed the entire front panel/glass/LCD/digitizer assembly is separating or detaching from the body at the top right corner.

It appears to be otherwise intact. It is still functional.

I have never dropped the device on anything other than carpet from farther than a few feet.

There is approximately a 1-2mm visible gap between the bottom of the glass panel and the top of the metal surrounding strip.

Pushing the panel back into the body causes the panel to flex a little, but it does not stay in place.

Any ideas about what happened and how it might be possible to fix it?

Thanks for your comment!

I keep it in a Mophie case, in a front pant pocket or a suit breast pocket. Between the rigid case and where I keep it, I don't think the case is bent as the rear panel is quite flat still.

What I meant by "flex" is that I can push the corner down so it is true to the back panel, but it doesn't stay in place.

iPhone 5: My phone only charges when its off

Fri, 25 Mar 2022 02:15:59 -0700

Okay so my phone only charges when its off but when it turns on my phone doesn't recognize that its being charged and then it dies. it comes back to life at 4 percent and dies. its not the cord because I've tried it on 2 different phones and it works perfectly fine on the other two. Again my phone only charges when its off but never when its on.
