Hey guys- I recently replaced my lightning port and can only now get 1X signal and only 1 bar. I get wifi just fine. I’ve reset network settings and hard reset the phone. When I replace the old parts, everything works as normal. I am on my fourth lightning connector all with the same problem. Put back in the old parts, boom, works great, I just can’t charge the phone. I’ve tried 3 “no name” and now I am on an ifixit part. Any ideas?
The problem is that you are probably buying aftermarket parts that do not work properly. I’ve had a few JBL branded charger ports exhibit the exact same issue on the iPhone 6. The best change is to try getting the original / apple branded charging port assemblies as they are pretty much gauranteed to work. If you get one that does not work from a seller, do not buy another one from them. Buy from another seller. On eBay I tend to get replacement small parts from Chinese sellers with extra tag names on items e.g like this: I search iPhone 6 charging port jneg for example on eBay to find them.
hey I am not positive about this but you said that the old part has charging problem right so why don’t you micro solder if you know how to… otherwise, look for a known good lightening connector assembly that you have seen working! I hope it was helpful.
