sorry for the late reply. First of all was the fingerprint working before? If yes, when did u noticed that the fingerprint no longer works? 2ndly, has did u work on the phone recently? I will need ur answers to determine if it’s a software glitch or hardware.

Thank you bro,

I just got the phone as Uk used and honestly did not check the fingerprint thingy until later. So I dot know if it had been worked on nor when it started.

I’ve updated the OS though and the problem still persists so I’m guessing it is hardware related.

Question now is, is it fixable and have you any idea how much it could cost me ?

Thanks

yes it's fixable if the home button is still the original home button that came with the phone from apple. I will like to know if u restart ur device is there a pop up that says unable to activate touch ID on this iPhone? If ur answer is No, then the problem is software but if yes then it's hardware and the culprit is always the fragile home button flex cable that is attached to that metal plate behind the screen. It's easy to fix

The answer is yes, it brings that error message.

How much do you think this would cost me?
Is it something you can do or know anyone that can ?

Location if 2 above is yes

Thank you

it won’t cost u more than 3,500. But before proceeding to work it make sure the home button is still the original factory home button. All u need to do is to change the home button flex cable. If u are good with phone I will suggest u check it out first if the cable was fixed properly. U can pull it out and put it back in again and make sure u hear the click sound to show it enter well. Then restart and know if the pop will show up again. And yes I can fix it but am not in lagos.

The main reason fingerprints keeps failing after screen replacement is because people rough handle that home button flex cable. It is the most fragile cable in iphone and one singe mark or torn on it will disable the finger print sensor but the home button will still be working

the truth is i can really tell but the good thing is there is 98% chance that the home button will be original if the phone is iphone 5/6/6+/6sand 6s+ the home button hardly develop faults unlike 7/7+ home button

Do u know that in iOS 11 You can now instantly share or connect automatically Wi-Fi if u don’t have the ? you will no longer need to save your Wi-Fi on a wrinkled piece of paper in a drawer somewhere. In iOS 11, if you need a Wi-Fi for a given network, just find someone who is already using it and hold your device near theirs to transfer the instantly.

Can you explain this well Bro?
Does the other phone have to be an iPhone too?

no it’s not true. IP address depend on ur network provider. For example when u access sites like OfferUp (dot) com with iPhone or any mobile device in Nigeria it will not open unless u are using vpn which will either hide ur ip or change ur IP address to that of another country. So if iPhones comes with us ip then OfferUp will be opening without any glitches because it’s a US site.

If you try to update via iTunes it will the entire iOS firmware..but if you go through OTA it will just the new version of the firmware...for example, if you are on 11.0 and want to update to 11.1 via iTunes, it will the entire 11.1 firmware(which is in gigabyte because it's the entire iOS firmware)..but if you update via OTA, it will only the .1 firmware version which is in mere megabytes...but if you're moving from say iOS 11. To ios 12 it will be in gigabyte because you're ing an entire new firmware..and this applies both with iTunes or OTA.

How much is unlock iCloud and what is different BTW unlock icloud and cheap use?

yes bro the data is always much if u are upgrading using a computer, the reason is because Apple supplies iTunes as a complete program for every release. They do not do patches like OTA (over the air) update. When you the update/upgrade directly to your device, you are ing a delta (patch) update. This means that only the parts of the system which have changed are ed, and the rest is left the same. Updates are ed this way to reduce the size. So I always recommend Using iTunes when u are having serious issues like flickering, serious battery drain or heating up issues.

cupid4ig:

Both pls.

Thanks.

in all honesty to get original apple charger (from apple) in the open market is quite hard. most of the chargers in the market are substandard but there are some that works really well. but if u need original apple charger you can get one from apple authorised dealers in lagos. you should budget between 3,500 to 5,000. here some apple authorized dealers
