Has my iPhone 5 replacement battery broke my phone?

My iPhone 5 battery was slowly dying on me so I decided to replace it.
Bought a battery online and replaced it all successfully, put my phone on charge and everything seemed to be working fine.
About an hour later the phone died because the battery went flat, but since then, the phone hasn't done anything.
It won't turn on at all, i've tried both the old and new battery and still nothing, the only sign of it being in any way alive is that when I plug it into my MacBook when the battery isn't in the phone, I get a notification saying that the USB is using up too much power.
Anybody know what my problem is?

There are no user-serviceable parts in an iPhone nor does Apple sell replacement
parts. Google may provide some direction. By opening your iPhone, you voided the
warranty and Apple assistance including this forum.
Most likely, the battery was defective and shorted out the charging circuit. Good luck
finding a solution; your iPhone probably needs replacing.

Iphone 4 has no service after replacing screen and updating, phone company says sim is fine. any ideas? thanks

iphone 4 has no service after replacing screen and updating, phone company says sim is fine. any ideas? thanks

We had this happen with a ipad mini, took it back to person who worked on it, after a week with trying to get it working again, he replaced it. I will agree with the other replies take it back to repair place there must be something inside the phone that if you don't do repair excalty right it messes up all phone functions. Also I would give the repair person a time frame to either get it working or replace it.

I don't have phone, but the TV says I need to replace battery backup for phone?!?!?!

Hello,
For three years, we've had Verizon Fios Internet and TV. We've never had a phone.
Today, the contraption Verizon plugged in the wall (sadly, I'm not really sure what it is, and had forgotten it existed until today as it's tucked behind some furniture) started beeping and the replace battery indicator light is on. Furthermore, when I turn on TV, I am greeted with this message:
My questions are:
(1) If I don't have phone service, why would I even have a battery backup (much less need to replace it) to allow phone service during power outages?
(2) Since I have only internet and TV, can I safely go without replacing this battery?
(3) If the answer to #2 is yes, then how do I get the thing in the wall to stop beeping every 30 minutes?
Thank you in advance to any responses.

You can unplug the battery in your optical network terminal (ONT) and the message needing to replace the battery will go away. Verizon customer service did confirm the battery is only for phone service when power is off.
I was only able to find 3 links on the alarm / battery backup. It looks like they never thought about people who did not want the phone feature and to silence the beeping with the battery removed?
I don't know how frequently my unit beeps, but I don't normally hear it because it is in my garage. I don't know if it has a pattern to when it beeps; but when I'm in the garage, I sometimes hear a single loud beep for about 1 second.
I imagine the battery must enable the laser to function when the power is off besides supply power to the copper phone lines in your house for a line powered phone. I would assume then that if one had a UPS to power the computer and router and a good battery in the BBU; then one could have an internet when the power is off too? Verizon user manuals don't mention this, so it might not work?

IPhone 4 replaced battery 100% charged, but shuts down unless plugged into wall charger

Hi everyone,
I've had my iPhone 4 (AT&T) for almost 2 years now so the battery life is rather terrible and I decided to replace the battery. I ordered a battery from PhonePartsUSA and followed the instructions on ifixit. I had some minor issues with the tiny contact piece, but once I wiped it down with ethanol, it was seemingly fine. When I plugged it in I saw the charging/lightening bolt icon in the upper right with an increasing percent. When it reached 100%, I unplugged it from my wall charger. The issue now is that after 1-2 minutes of use on battery (browsing internet on WiFi), my iPhone turns off by itself.
Also, when I plug it in to my laptop via USB, iTunes does recognize it.
I would like to self-repair, if possible, and was hoping someone here could point me in a direction (software, hardware, etc).
Thanks in advance!

Self repair or a competent 3rd party repair shop are your only options now. Apple won't touch it.
ifixit is the best resource out there that I'm aware of for hardware teardowns and repairs of the iPhone. It is not considered user serviceable by Apple, and having opened it and replaced the battery yourself, it is no longer eligible either for battery replacement by Apple, or an out of warranty replacement.

Got my cracked iphone screen replaced and now my phone has a mind of it's own.

It will select anything at everything at random, I'll text somebody and it will type random letters and send. Or The swipe up/down menus will come up/down and stay. I've liked, unliked, unfriended, unfollowed and sent gibberish to several people and it's very irritating. I can still use my phone to text/call people, but I have to fight with my phone in order to do so and have to deal with sending gibberish along with every message I send and even to people I never intended on texting. The only way I can get it to stop what it's doing and let me use it is to shut my screen off and turn it back on but that method still isn't very effective.
Also I sometimes see several vertical lines going down the length of my screen. They don't move or anything but I'm sure it has something to do with why my phone is acting out. And well my question here is what should I do?

If Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider replaced your screen, bring it back to get it fixed again.
If a 3rd party company did the repair, they will have to fix that, Apple will not service phones that have been opened by users or other repair shops.

I recently had to get my iPhone 4s replaced. The old phone was backed up to ICloud. I get a message when I plug this one in that it is not backed up and there isn't enough storage left to back it up. How to I remove from the other phone so I can back th

I am trying to back up my new Iphone on to ICloud. It shows I dont have enough storage because it still has stuff from the old IPhone. How can I back up this phone and erase from the other. Apple kept the other phone when they replaced it. If I hit the delete storage for the other phone (which shows up on the Icloud Icon on this phone) will I lose everything on this phone? That's what I want to avoid....

If it's corrupt, generally it would be lost.
However, there is third-party software out there that can retrieve some of the data, those of which however I could not recommend as I have never done so myself.
Also, if the old 4S was running a more recent software version than the current 4S, that may cause the issue however usually iTunes tells you exactly that.
Good luck in retrieving that information.

Replace battery in i phone 3 gs

is it best to have battery replaced at apple store or can it be done by used?

If you have no remaining hardware warranty, you could choose to use another vendor than Apple. If you choose to use Apple, battery replacement cost is as follows:
Service arranged through Apple costs $79. A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if this service requires shipping. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax.
If you choose another vendor, you may get the replacement done for less, but remember, you get what you pay for. And once someone other than Apple (or an Authorized Apple Service provider) opens the device, Apple will not work on it again.

Currently on a business trip in China. How can I replace my iphone 5's battery?

Currently I'm on a business trip in China. How can I replace my iphone 5's battery? My phone is eligible to the battery replacement program.

This can only be done in the country where you bought the phone originally. But you can call Apple Support to register for that program.

IPhone unlocked by carrier, will Apple replace with an unlocked phone in the event of a warranty replacement?

Hi there.
I use an iPhone with the Canadian provider, Fido. I purchased the phone from Fido and signed up for a 3 year contract in order to recieve the phone at the reduced price. I understand that Fido performs a carrier lock on the phone when you sign up in this way so that the phone can only be used on the Fido network.
At the moment I am in the process of cancelling my contract with Fido and switching over to another provider in Canada. After doing some research, I found out that Fido offers a service where they will unlock your phone from their network when you finish your contract, for a fee. Since I am cancelling my contract and paying the early cancellation penalty, my contract will be satisfied and I will be eligible for the unlock service. My plan is to have my iPhone unlocked by Fido so that I can use the phone with my new provider.
My question is this: If I have my phone legitimately unlocked by my provider, will Apple send me an unlocked phone in the event that their is a hardware failure covered under warranty, and I need a replacement iPhone? All my previous replacement iPhones have been, to my knowledge, locked by Apple back onto my provider before they are sent to me. But, it would be awfully annoying if a replacement phone came to me locked onto an old network that I no longer use.
Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Are you sure about this? I thought so too, but when I received my replacement iPhone 6, it was locked again.
I bought a carrier locked iPhone. Then it was replaced with another carrier iPhone. This second phone (first replacement) was then unlocked. Later the unlocked iPhone was replaced with a third phone (second replacement). To my disappointment the second iPhone replacement is locked.
The Authorized Service center said that Apple made a mistake and should unlock it remotely ASAP. Apple Support however, says that iPhones are replaced with specifications of the originally initially purchased iPhone. If the original was unlocked, they would replace it with unlocked, but if it was locked then replaced with a locked and then unlocked by carrier. The carrier should be contacted again to unlock future replacements. I know it sounds ridiculous and illogical.
If an iPhone has been unlocked (obviously by a carrier), why would you replace it with a locked iPhone and ask the customer to contact his carrier and request another unlock for the replacement iPhone? So inefficient and could be a problem if the carrier allows only one unlock per year per line like most do, or if you are no longer a customer of that carrier.
Interestingly I found the following on Apple's "Hardware Warranty". Retrieved from: https://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/ios-warranty-document-us.html):
"Following warranty service your Apple Product or a replacement device will be returned to you as your Apple Product was configured when originally purchased, subject to applicable updates.”
What I understand from this is that replacements will be configured exactly as the originally purchased including any updates made to it. I believe unlock is considered an update.
Apple Support argues that the second device was unlocked (updated), but the original (initial / first) device was not unlocked. Therefore, I should deal with my old carrier to unlock this one.
How insanely ridiculous is that???

Does the iphone5 have a replacement battery?

The charge on my iPhone 5 is terrible now. I have to keep it charged all the time. Can I buy a replacement battery for the phone?

HT204054 How easy is it to use iFixit supplied replacement battery in a MacBookPro?

Has anyone installed a replacement battery obtained through the iFixit company in a MacBookPro of 2012 vintage?
Is it relatively straight forward? Are there any steps that involve special skill?

IFixIt says that battery is an Apple OEM so that's OK. Replacing the battery is pretty straight forword.
The main problem is the TriLobe screws that hold the battery in. In many instances I've found one of the screw anchors broken. IFixIt can supply the necessary screw driver.

I PHONE 5 BATTERY ISSUE AND PHONE SHUTS OFF

MY I PHONE 5 SHUTS OFF REPEATLY AND BATTERY PERCENTAGE IS SHOWING DIFFERENT NUMBERS

I'd just like to say that ahs70's post on Dec 1, 2013 at 1:17am on Pg. 9 worked for me as well: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5338609?start=120&tstart=0
If your iPhone's battery is acting up you need to determine if it's a software issue or a hardware/battery issue. To do that, after syncing your iPhone, erase/hard reset all data and settings from your iPhone to what it was from the factory as new. This can be found in Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings. Then test it out for a day or two. If it's still acting up then it's likely a hardware issue and you will need to get your battery replaced. If your warranty is done than check out this link to get a battery kit to replace your iPhone battery yourself: http://www.ifixit.com/Store/iPhone/iPhone-5-Replacement-Battery/IF118-001#produc tDescription
If your iPhone is now working properly after hard resetting it than it's most likely a software issue. This battery issue only started after upgrading to the new iOs7, so it is obviously related to the update not properly installing itself. What has worked for me and many others is to manually update to iOS 7.0.4 using the full downloaded version of the update which is about 1.32 Gigs.
But first you need to find out what model of iPhone you have, click here to determine if it's GSM or CDMA: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Then go here and scroll down to download the iOS 7.0.4 complete update for your device: http://www.downloadios7.org/download-ios-7-0-4-ipsw-file.html
Then scroll up on the download page and follow the instructions of updating your iPhone manually following the instructions below: "IPSW with iTunes"
And your done.
Problem solved.
I only posted this because it was a very frustrating problem that no one really seemed to figure out a solution for.
I hope this helps.

HT201401 My iPhone3GS has started crashing. I'll be mid-phone call, or using an app, when the screen will go dark. I have to restart it. Then it shows low battery sign (even though it was 100%). Within 1 minute of charging, iphone starts. Pl. resolve.

My iPhone3GS has started crashing. I'll be mid-phone call, or using an app, when the screen will go dark. I'll have to do a restart. It dumps to the warning screen that there's no power and needs to be plugged in.
Once I connect the phone to a power source, in a couple of minutes it's ready to roll again, and displaying a "full battery" icon.
The phone is almost always fully charged when this happens, and I don't get a crash when the phone is plugged into a power source.
Took my iphone to apple store, they informed that battery is very good and there is no need for replacement. Might be there is a problem with iphone motherboard. But they can't repair it as my 3GS crossed warranty.
Where should I go to repair this. Within 2 years...this 32GB 3GS is almost garbage for me with no support from apple. I am ready to send it to apple for repairs and pay the repair charges.
I tried everything... deep reset ... factory settings .... nothing is working... Apple staff pl. take care of your customers ...

Has anyone ever managed to get a 'new' iphone 4 replacement, not refurbished!

Gone through 3 'replacements' now. First (original) had an antenna problem, the second one had pixel issues and the present one has awful, truly awful battery drainage! Enough is enough! Getting tired of all this. Has someone ever managed to get a new iphone 4 replacement which is 'new' and not been refurbished? I was told last time after complaining to the apple care CS that the express service they provide doesn't use 'refurbished' iphones and has a seperate stock. But thats obviously not true since the 'express' one has turned out to be a dod as well!
No chance in **** I am getting another apple product in the future...

Thanks. I've read the warranty terms and other threads on here regarding it but I wanted to know if someone HAD personally gone through something similiar and escalated the matter to the higher CS at AppleCare. If yes, did you get a different result and what was it? Thing is the last time this happened and I got send my present 'replacement' iphone 4 (one with current battery issues), I fell for the whole 'Express Service' (which apparently doesn't use refurbished iphones). This seems a blatant lie since I find it hard to believe that a new phone would have such serious battery issues. Have I just been really unlucky or is this a common theme with replacements?
Would be interesting to know the views of anyone who received a 'refurbished' replacement and is still going strong. Or anyone who has actually managed to speak to the higherups at AppleCare? (people who would think twice before lying to your face since the CS I've spoken to say anything to end the call).
