Hello, I have a 5s that is in perfect condition, but it has some problems. 1: Compass doesn’t work, just shows nothing in compass app. 2: Gyroscope doesn’t work, again just shows 0 degrees and the “perspective” background doesn’t move. 3: Touch only works when your finger is touching the chassis, if it is on a table and you are not touching it it does not recognize any touch. If you touch the chassis and use it it will work fine. Probibly just caused by a crappy $17 Chinese screen. My top problems are the compass and gyroscope. How would I fix it? Could it be an antenna?
Try the following: Quit all apps from the background. Especially the Compass.Open the Compass app. The iPhone will ask you to recalibrate by having the red dot complete a circle.Once the calibration is done, you’ll see the compass. That means the recalibration is over. You can test the recalibration by heading over to the app that seemed quirky with the data. Another possible problem would be caused if you did any repairs previously on it or bought this used/refurbished from someone who had. There’s a screw that isn’t magnetic by design, but is often magnetized inadvertently or intentionally during a repair (after someone loses it). Try checking that screw. It’s circled in green in the below link. iPhone 5s Screen Replacement Good luck!
If I replace or remove that screw, will it start working? When I play Temple Run and tilt the mobile, it works fine. But when I play Asphalt 8 and tilt the mobile, it don’t work. Moreover, is there any way to demagnetize that screw?
