Iphone glitchy after repair. Need help Please.

So I cracked my screen at the gym over two months ago. WEIGHT fell on it, yeah pretty %^## dumb.
Saw it was 269.00 for repair, I was afraid.
My friend said he would do the repair for 120 with a year warranty, still to expensive.
I started watching DIY videos, and thought it was pretty easy.
I bought a screen from china, 55 $ and extra spare parts for 22 $ , all in US$.
Got it two weeks later, I ripped the proximity sensor cable, replaced the screen without speaker, proximity, camera. Phone and screen worked. Except it was glitching all the time.
My keyboard would press on the wrong letters most of the time, my ability to zoom was screwed up.
So I returned it, another 14US down, waiting for a refund.
Bought another one of Ebay, from US seller, for 50$, and placed an order for proximity and camera cable for 5 $USD.
Got it, fixed it, worked well, STILL gltichy, but less than before. This time the phone worked amazingly for two days, then it got back to its habits.
Already down MORE THAN 150USD$.
Now my question is, why is this happening, all digitizer and screens are the same, carriers do not matter, (they say the screen will only work on sprint, at&t, etc) I live in canada.
My broken was perfect no problems with the phone, except it was hard to see and type because of the million cracks.
I have already resetted the phone, but still same thing.
HELP, What should I do ?

iDevices are not user servicable.
Opening of the device by anyone other than Apple (or an Apple Authorized Service Center) voids the warranty and all rights to support from the carrier and these user to user support forums.
Take the device to someone that is knowledgable and have them repair the device properly or replace it.
Apple does not sale parts for any iDevice.

  • IPhone 2.0 update- NEED HELP PLEASE

    i downloaded the new software and plugged my phone in to the computer while it uploaded on my phone. i went into the other room for a few seconds and when i came back it looked like the upload had finished but a notice had popped up. the notice closed by itself before i could finish reading it. the only thing i managed to read was to leave the phone connected. its been an hour since then and nothing has happend and when i press the home button its a picture of the white apple usb cord with an arrow pointing to the itunes icon. did i miss some imporatant instructions or does it just take a long time? please help :]

    It takes a while, depending on how busy the server is.
    The sign you missed said , basically, do not unplug the iphone when this process finishes your iphone will be recognized in itunes. After that, at some point, it connects to the server. Then after a while of that it restores the software on the iphone. Then everything looks like normal again.

  • AT&T Do not open my new iPhone to sim free :( NEED HELP PLEASE :(

    I just bought an AT&T iPhone 4 from eBay and i live in Israel.
    I need to unlock the phone because our "Carrier" {ORANGE} do not work if the iPhone not sim free.
    I called AT&T "1-800-3310-500" few times follow this article: "http://www.noeman.org/gsm/mobile-phone-talk/48308-why-pay-t-unlock-code.html" for a "non-customers" section .
    AT&T rep say that she cannot help me if I'm  not an AT&T customer, I asked them what can i do? I bought the iPhone from eBay and the person that sold me the iPhone also send me an AT&T Sim card and  when i insert to the iPhone and open the iTune i saw the old number so i told to the AT&T rep that i have an old AT&T Sim and if she can open the phone? She say OK took my IMEI number and then suddenly she ask me what is the 4 social number digit of the Sim holder? I told her i don't know i bought the phone from eBay i only have the person name, Sim number and paypal confirmation, i don't know the social number... then she say that she cannot do nothing...
    Please help what can i do?
    Sagi.
    <Email Edited by Host>

    Can any one send me Apple email support that i can write them?
    The iPhone 4 I mentioned above was bought from eBay I have problems that the iPhone is locked to AT&T carrier although the previous customer graduated his payments to the company.
    In the last few days I called (1-800-3310-500) and Corresponded ([email protected]) with AT&T number of times and ask from the represent to open the phone to Sim free because I live in Israel and my Carrier is “ORANGE” and when I remove AT&T Sim and insert my local Sim, the phone not working. I told them that I can send them the PayPal transaction confirmation on the Acquisition and the IMEI  on the  phone.
    They say that only AT&T customers can ask to open the phone and I'm not a customer thats why they cannot begin the apply request to Apple.
    I love Apple products and I use them every day and very happy.
    When someone say to me change to Android products I tell him it's like to compare between BMW and Subaru cars, ofcource the BMW represend the Apple IOS system.
    I think  what AT&T doing is Bullying!!!

    JoJo,
    I Had your problem to a 100% match. I took my phone to the Apple store yesterday and it actually turned out to be a bad battery connection. The connector was bent, making contact but screwing up the memory. My second battery replacement on my iPhone 4. $89.00 This absolutely and instantly fixed the problem. Please let me know if this helps ( or any of the ther 4 of you wiht this problem. I just created an account so I could answer your question.The Apple guy did tell em he had to put it in UDE mode whihc doesn't matter a bit if you're not there getting teh battery. I don't know what UDE mode is,. but I see it metnioned here a lot.To re-iterate, he said it would have done nothing for me on my own.

  • Pix and Videos gone after update - need help please.

    Hi all,
    I upgraded to the new OS2 and loved it... no problems there.  When I tried to connect and pull pictures off via my PC, I got a message Blackberry Desktop software could not connect.  I tried it multiple times after restarting the Playbook but would not connect.  It connected and advised I needed to upgrade my software which I did, but when I started the Playbook after the install it was like it was brandnew out of the box.  Had to go through the tutorial and then I was shocked to find all my pictures and videos were gone.  I don'r care about the videos but had some really important (to me at least) pictures I wanted off of it.
    Sooooo.... any chance of recovering those or does the updates just "Blow" everything away?  I will never use my Playbook to take any pictures or video of anything again and guess I learned a painful lesson.
    Thanks for ANY input you might be able to provide.

    Same thing happened to me. RIM <Inappropriate Content Removed>

  • I'm in Bali and my Iphone is missing. Need help please figuring out what to do.

    I tried to locate it by using ICloud but got a message says the phone is offline.  Then I locked it via I Cloud. Now I have an email saying:
    "Putra wijaya was locked at 10:57 PM on April 19, 2012 using your new passcode.", and IPhone shows this name listed on my phone on ICloud. I'm trying to track down this person but it may be impossible since it the phone location won't show up on I Cloud.. What should I do? I sent a message to the phone offering a reward but I'm not sure if the message will get through if the phone is locked. If it's locked does that mean the person can't use it?  Why does the phone now have this persons name attached to it on my I Cloud page? Should I wipe the phone and cut my losses?  If I wipe it does that mean I no longer can communicate with it? My hope was that if the phone is locked the person can't use it, and if he gets the message I sent offering a reward, he will return it.  But I have no idea if the message will get through, or how this all works with I Cloud. Thanks so much for advice!

    The searching is not wi-fi related - it is searching for a cell network. You need to disable 3G and Cellular data uder Settings, General, Network.
    To find your settings and google icons, swipe the screen left to reveal other screens - they're there somewhere

  • HT4946 hii, on my iphone 4s, i tried upgrading my OS and i was asked if i needed back up and i said yes, after upgrading i couldnt find any of my files, document, pictures, music and all. please i need help please.

    hii, on my iphone 4s, i tried upgrading my OS and i was asked if i needed back up and i said yes, after upgrading i couldnt find any of my files, document, pictures, music and all. please i need help please.

    Hi,
    usually when you upgrade, it should not delete your files, but if it happens, than you should have a backup.
    Unfortunately it is very common, that people don't know, what exactly is in the backup.
    The question is, what files exactly you are missing? Own pictures, or taken with the device? Purchased music form the iTunes Store, or own? ....
    Documents and files are mostly up to the developer of the app, if they are part of the backup, usually not and you need to transfer them before.
    In the backup you will find just pictures from the Camera Rolle folder, everything else you should have on the PC, if you had it on the device.
    Same then for music, you can transfer purchased music from the device, but your own works just one direction, from PC to device, from device to PC it doesn't work.
    In future I recomand you to be sure how the backup works or use a 3rd party app (iExplorer) where you have a little bit more "freedome" than with iTunes.
    Or you maybe just restored from the worng backup

  • Bought a new macbook and want to manually manage music onto my iphone 4s but when i click 'manually manage' and then 'apply' i get the message saying it will erase everything already on there. Need help please!

    Bought a new macbook and want to manually manage music onto my iphone 4s (as it is already full of music from old windows laptop) but when i click 'manually manage' and then 'apply' i get the message saying it will erase everything already on there. Need help please!

    Before you sync your iPhone make sure that all the music that was synced to your phonereviously has been copied to your iTunes on the new MacBook Pro. Then when you connect your phone you will be able to either sync all music or select only those playlists that you want on the phone.
