Hey! Today I repair my phone (iphone 6) screen replacement on a firm, after the change is so weird Home button. button works perfectly when the phone is unlocked. but when the phone has been locked in maybe 1 minute, then do not work at all, then I have to press the power button on the side, afterwards operate the Home button again until the phone locks the next time. Please help me, are curious and want to know if it’s something simple wrong or I have to run back with it and use the guarantee
If you replaced the screen, maybe it is defective or a cable is not seated correctly. You may also need to clear your fingerprint scans and re-enter them. I haven’t tried replacing the screen on my 5S, so I am just guessing. I would try the settings before opening the phone up again. See if the fingerprint home button even works as a fingerprint reader. The home button only unlocks the screen if your fingerprint reads first.
I had this exact same problem. Although my touch id didnt work either. When i changed my screen i had to move the back shield metal plate from my phone to the new screen. That back metal shield plate has the home button connector on it. I believed i damaged the home button connector when I disconnected the home button from my old screen, i can see the connector was now quite loose when i touched it. I decided to change the metal shield plate (you can buy it of ebay for like $10-$15). Once changed my home button now works fine. It also fixed my touch id which I wasn’t expecting. Bonus!
