Finally a solution for the stupid home buttons those cables are so brittle dependin g on what elements they were exposed to they often just snap because they have no bend left in them.

[@Jurgh909]

Thumbs up if you have more than 27,210 unread emails in your inbox.

[@zx8401ztv]

You have to give them 100% for the smart way of getting around the problem :-D For ordinary use im sure it will be fine, the owner will be happy it is still usable :-D.

[@crackedscreen9570]

I just got few delivered and the problem with it was that it needs to be connected to bluetooth all the time which is upsetting however for a customer atleast something is working

[@mohammeddaas2002]

Thanks too much for introducing your experience Waiting your next video Go head 😉😉😉

[@AymanTheRepairTech]

Hi Jason nice video, What is the purpose of the small flex we can do a micro jumper or not ?

[@ethanchow9170]

They can make Bluetooth Touch ID button that when you rest finger on it for 2sec it will type your code then hit enter for you

[@lelem]

can we use the lightning home button to boot into recovery? i guess no...?

[@DMRepairTech]

Bro I like your video becouse what about the JC home button I have one Question iphone 7 Wi-Fi issue- I can replacement Wi-Fi ice chip please I need to help

[@rushingaming8347]

any suggestions for iphone 7 plus that says "press to home to recover" ??? trying to recover photos and can't get past that screen.

[@primeramusic3593]

Hey bro. I have an iphone that turns on but dont charge. And then turn off after couple of minutes. I change de Tristar but still dont work. I tried another battery but still doesnt charge and turns off after couple of mns. What could be? PLEASE HELP. (First device trying to fix)

[@Joker-rj4zp]

Good job ... 👍

[@RaceCreations]

Very nice 👍

[@baks19922]

I ordered and installed myself on iPhone 7, it works. but there was a problem the keyboard does not appear when the button is connected via Bluetooth

[@israelsmith7332]

While in a text window hold the home button and the keyboard will pop up. So for example go to messages and touch the text window and then hold the home button and the keyboard will show. Hold the home button again and the keyboard will disappear.

[@TmkSVK]

And how it is aboute pairing another bt acc? Is it possible or just JC hb? Just to know if you can use only 1 bt acc at once

[@0123456mc]

On the iPhone 7 can the home button be replaced and dose it have to be programmed?

[@ststele]

Only Apple can replace and program a new one to be 100% working. When they replace a screen, it’s included. The aftermarket buttons will work for a home button only but not all of them connect or work the same.

[@JAB227]

if i wanted to get a plug in cable for the battery connector, where would i find one?

[@ststele]

I got mine from Union Repair, Qianli and iPad Rehab Supply. There are a lot of places to buy them though. If you google iPhone DC power squid it should turn up a bunch of them.

[@alexandrugheorghiu3439]

It might fall apart, that's alright

[@Dovahscale]

now bring up a keyboard with a working home button im getting nothing its a issue having to turn off Bluetooth if you want to type

[@ststele]

I wish I would have tried that. I wonder if it’s pairing up like a Bluetooth keyboard so the phone doesn’t think it needs to pop up a keyboard.

Man, seeing you do something as simple as installing a home button, in a super professional environment, with gloves and tweezers and shit, makes me feel super inadequate doing 8 or more of these a day with my bare hands and some alcohol lmao

[@strikeistrashlmao6891]

I really don’t like using gloves that much when it comes to repair. Still use them for Sanitation precautions now but whenever I’m repairing some *personal* device for fun, I hate using them since my hands get sweaty as hell

[@zonanagon9764]

I’m amazed! Zlatan Ibrahimovic also doing phone repairs with awesome tools beside playing soccer

[@arachnophilegrrl]

This is fascinating to me. I've been researching this stuff since my "nearly new" iPhone 7 got the home button/fingerprint ID error. This was a wake-up call. I had visions of even fixing the break in the ribbon myself... at home... without any special equipment. I know that I could replace just the button and forgo fingerprint ID but there are a lot of videos that make even that switch-out seem easier than it is. The only people I can find that would tackle that job will charge over $100 to do it. I like to learn how to fix things but I don't think I could handle any of these fixes. It sucks because my phone is now worthless, despite the fact that everything else works perfectly. *fist shake at apple* This is all fascinating though, and I will continue to watch. Thanks for your work!

[@israelsmith7332]

Just a heads up. If you're keyboard is not showing. Try pressing and holding the home button while in a text window. For example, got to safari and press on the address bar then press and hold the home button. The keyboard should then pop up. Press and hold again and it will disappear.

[@ststele]

Hey everyone, sorry for the re-upload. I tried to use KZbin's editor to make a silly change and it seems to have completely broke it. The video would only show a black screen and would say something like, "not available on this device" when viewed on mobile. So 1k views & 110 likes later, we gotta start from zero and re-post. Thanks for watching everyone. I will leave it alone this time. :)

[@skywrathmage4449]

awesome#

[@moosesugar]

on the 6s you can swipe up the control panel from the lock screen and turn bluetooth on that way does it not do that on the iphone 7 plus if so that button is a good fix

[@maicod]

no probs Jason

[@moosesugar]

@Just ME Onlyme if you have a oem battery installed it will go back to normal ifixit batteries are missing the thing the iphone uses to detect the battery health my 6s did the same and as soon as i replaced it with a oem lion battery off ebay which cost me over ten pound it cured it

[@MoyDeeGaming]

STS Telecom I definitely agree that the jumper flex isn’t a perfect fix, but originally they had it as a soldered jumper but Justin who runs the art of repair channel told them hey guys most shops don’t microsolder. So they came up with an option. If you can solder it then damn straight do so.

[@bendzibeats]

I saw it too lol 😂 just change playback speed on x0.25 and you'll see it better

[@arachnophilegrrl]

I've got to say, that workaround is pretty smart and the side-effect of the phantom home button is a pretty crazy/fun side-effect.

[@suptimobilecorner]

i can not understand who is the person dislike this video.... they are not technitian...they are came here searching porn... lol... love you STS.. keep it up

[@SeekSeekerMaster]

Doesn't iPhone activate assistive touch on restart or upgrade when home button is missing or replaced?v

[@SidneyCritic]

Ah now I get it. The OEM button has an ID chip, and if it breaks this is a replacement.

[@bokhalomuj6890]

very nice video please subtitles.....I am..british sign language

[@rodrigomaero]

Last year I was trying to fix a 6’s touch id (bought it dead, selling it without touch id was a bummer). The sensor itself is powered by the 1v8 and 3v0 lines the whole time and as soon as you lay your finger on top of the sensor 16v comes to life (i guess that’s why features like reachability). It’s a smart move for people with completely busted home buttons

[@kasadigital8385]

how i can get Other test point for putting jcs home Button working in IPHONE 8. from where i can download iphone8 QCOM ... for me find second test point ..becase i lost(p052) during solding test point from as you shown in digram and the test point(p053) is fine .as there any chance.please help

[@shonuff6221]

Quick and simple tip if your Home Button doesn’t work at all and you’re getting a message like the one @ 11:00 or when you have reset your iPhone: turn off iPhone. Press Volume Up button along with Power Button and hold it until apple logo comes on. Thank me now

[@vpnrouter]

Hi Jason - is there a solution to install the JC homebutton or another homebutton with the latest firmware. How can you now get past "press home to.." now the lightening home button doesnt seem to work with the new firmware. Is there a solution? Thanks

[@luciousberib373]

Hello.. I have an iPhone 7plus , home button does not work... I purchased the home button that connects to the charging jack but does not work. phone is stuck on press home to upgrade..what is wrong..?

[@charlesheath5828]

But?........ if you leave in the replacement Bluetooth home button, will you still be able to use your fingerprint for secure access?

[@StarDarkAshes]

I just don't understand why none of the videos that show you how to replace the broken screen tell you that once you do that you're home buttons not going to work anymore. It should have been right on the first frame and loud letters saying warning if you change your broken screen your home button will no longer work. If I had known that I probably would have just paid the fucking money to let Apple fix it

[@picklikeapro6952]

Anyone else have issues where you can’t double tap after installing or hold got Siri? If so is there a fix for it?

Hi. what camera do you use for the microscope? I have an amscope too. and fma050 adapter. thanks for your reply in advance too

wtf is this? wireless home button... but why? this doesnt make any sense, why not just use a new home button? these home button needs to be apple factory programed?

Same

[@Geo-ym7ds]

Question: would IPhone 8 still be water Proof after this installation??????????

[@Jurgh909]

When it needs a new home button to be able to boot, and a adaptor home button solves the problem, wouldn't it be possible to solder in the contents of the adaptor directly into the phone, tapping the appropriate lightning connector points? Can't seem to find any videos of athe internals of the adaptor, but can't imagine it's fully packed in there?

[@peekpt]

Next bluetooth volume button

[@bennetrix]

How about the functionality during a connectioned Bluetooth speaker?

[@JonnyFix]

Now someone just needs to make a lightning home button that connects to the port internally. This one is a neat workaround though.

[@cormacpyper]

Yeay now i can see the video awesome thx Jason ! enjoy you lunchbreak in the pool :D

[@ststele]

Second time ever using KZbin's editor to modify a video after it was already up. Miserable experience.

[@mikkel-1327]

When you install the button and try to use it, you’ll notice that the keyboard is gonna disappear every time you have the home button connected, you just need yo restart all settings and it’ll work.

[@deenaspringfield1970]

[@builtbypi2276]

If home button doesn't work you can connect to iTunes and activate Accessibility for VoiceOver control. Once you have Voice over activated thru iTunes you can manually control the broken home button! Hope you find this helpful as Ive used this method on iPhones 7-8

[@nufrequency84]

A Chinese Bluetooth home button... And I thought I've seen everything :)

[@iphonerepairbase]

Hi, I changed the home button on an iPhone 7 Plus to a JC home button. It worked fine. I restored the phone and it shows me the "Hello" screen and "Press home to open" message. If I press the JC home button nothing happens. Can anyone help me, please?

[@kurelwakaanahaqannc4389]

Thanks so much !!!! Mine is working 😂😂😂

[@BigBadReaper]

That’s a Bunchhhhaaa work. All I did was replace my screen and the button stopped working. The button is perfectly fine. The cables are perfectly fine. It worked for all of 3 seconds and then stopped. Now it won’t work at all. It’s telling me it can’t use I touch

[@TySkinner]

That lightning home button adapter is nice to have on hand. To share a tip with any shop or person who doesn't have one: If you can access the phone in iTunes after a restore or update go to the Summary Tab > Under Options click "Configure Accessibility" then turn on VoiceOver. You can then touch the "Press Home.. blah blah" text selecting it then double tap it to unlock the phone.

[@LineofSighted]

There is an issue that needs covered by someone. Because it's a bluetooth home button, you lose your virtual keyboard functionality when you have bluetooth on. Basically, you can't use this device AND your keyboard without turning your bluetooth on and off. I think I have a solution for this using something like the lightning connected home button, but I'm still prototyping.

[@msphonerepairmaldegem]

Well installed the button -- but when activated via bluetooth i have no keyboard on a input field anymore - deactived the jc homebutton from bluetooth and the keyboard is back - on iphone 8 with 12.1.4 - i guess bleutooth see's it as mouse and keyboard?

[@override39]

is ok to have that button.better then nothing.peace

[@joblessalex]

That's so hacky tho....

[@Mark-qd7le]

I see that there are now non Bluetooth replacement universal home buttons for iPhone 7/8. In your opinion which is the best make and does it have any issues other than the Touch ID not working?

[@محمدآلالحصيني]

Hello friend, I am one of your followers. I hope you will give me a fingerprint of the device 7 7s in a lot of broken and how much the price of the love. Thank you.

[@allanbarr5186]

I saw your post about the jc home button. Fixez has a home button that doesn't need to jumper and doesn't need bluetooth. Would you check it out and give a review

[@mohitanand002]

Hey jayson, its always an honour to watch ur videos bro, they arereally motivational, than for being so generous that u share your experience with all of us, i ve seen ur videos regarding m1 jumper solution for 6plus, i hav a fone whose touch behaving as same as those damaged 6plus fones, but after smtime the fone started to autowork, i meant the touch is automatically working wothout even i hav touched it, i mean i m dealing with ghost touch, can u suggest me the solution???? Thanx in advance sir...

[@herisusanto5835]

why press 2 times the keyboard appears, while when Bluetooth is turned off, no need to press 2 times, the keyboard appears, what is the solution?

[@thevividyoshi]

So, with the JC home button paired, are you still able to connect your iPhone to, say, a bluetooth speaker? I feel like to be able to truly seemlessly integrate a home button like this, you would need to hook directly to Apple's connectors, otherwise you wouldn't be able to pair with hands-free devices, speakers, controllers, etc.

[@Samey44]

You can pair to multiple devices on iOS, i can be linked too my car stereo and also sync it too my Apple watch at the same time

[@ihassaanali]

hi.. my IPhone 7 is working perfectly but there's one apple logo issue when i turn it on sometimes it shows the apple logo and sometimes it doesn't show the apple logo and it shows white screen rather than apple logo...can you please tell me what's the problem with my phone

[@iambujar]

If you need press home to update , then just connect the phone to itunes , go to accessibility on itunes and turn on voice over, then all you have to do on the phone is to tap on the text that says press home to update and then tap twice again on the text and it will work ! if the phone has a passcode then i dont know if itunes will connect the device !

[@AymanTheRepairTech]

I don't know that would work or no but you are a genius

Or you can use 3U tools as well.

[@georgeodriscollvideos7740]

Hi Jason have you ever tried to bond old home button with new one or a donor button providing the original button part is still functioning by slicing along trace lines scrape of coating on both and bond them so the pcb will still recognise the original button

[@thunderroadcomputers3401]

So anyone else having issues with these home button solutions taking over the on screen keyboard because the phone thinks the home button solution is a bt keyboard?

[@ststele]

I’ve been hearing this. Apparently the button works by emulating a keyboard so the phone doesn’t think it needs to pop one up on the screen. I think it may have to do with software version on the phone too as it seems not everyone has the issue.

[@thunderroadcomputers3401]

@@ststele Thanks for the reply and your time! I'm slowly eliminating distributors myself, not over all, just in regards to this part. The two models I've seen so far are MB and JC and I can confirm this issue on the MB ones, but like you said, hit and miss. Have you seen it on any of your JC ones?

How to repair my touch id iphone 6plus whitout chance the flexible, Cause i lose my original button And i replace it with a new one

[@Ajni]

Question.. I have an iPhone 7, a friend brought it to replace the lightning port that he bought himself, and after replacing it everything was working ok, but the mic was bad, so i opened the phone again, aaand long story short, now the home button is acting up, when you press it, instead of a single click, it clicks like crazy (you dont even have to press it, most of the time it reacts on the lightest touch).. sometimes it doesnt click at all, but the fingerprint/double tap is working fine all the time.. and i noticed that the little ic on the home button flex is getting REALLY HOT (i think its marked U10). Sooo, my question now is, should i try and replace the IC? Is that IC responsible for the clicking/back part of the button, and NOT the fingerprint part? Please help :/

[@Ajni]

Ok, replaced it. It works now... It was U10, the ic on the home button flex.. The back click is now working perfectly.

Apple doesnt allow touch id on replacement home buttons, and in the 7 and above they don't allow home button use at all

Hi This is not an educational videos You’re making only video on advertise products porpoises, iPhone X platform , Jc home button. Etc.... Very shame!!! .

[@ststele]

My last 4 videos were not product videos. In this video, I do exactly what the title says. I’m not required to create educational videos. Also, it is important to profit from videos or it becomes impossible for me to do it. I would be choosing between feeding my kids or posting videos. For that, I am not ashamed.

[@gregwasyl6920]

Everything would be fine if you were objective in what you say but it's not advertising more isn’t.

[@ststele]

This argument just made me clueless as to what your point is? Moving on.

[@ststele]

But, before I do, know this - none of us would be repairing anything without products you’ve seen on this channel. The X fixture, the JC programming stuff - I PAID FOR WITH MY MONEY. They didn’t give me that stuff. I bought because I needed. People watching my videos need them too. Unless you can reprogram nand with only your soldering iron? Buzz off.
