iPhone 4 facetime isn't working after screen replacement
I converted my black iphone 4 into a white iphone 4. I have replaced the housing on several phones without any complications or malfunctions before, but on my personal phone, my front camera isn't working. I am not able to make any facetime calls nor am I able to take pictures from the front camera. If I go into the camera and switch the back to front camera the button that switches between picture and record flickers and does not stop. I have tried restoring three times and I even replaced the front camera. I have no idea how to correct this problem.
Is this a good question?

I went through this process three times and rechecked all connections.

Hello,
I had this problem with 3 iPhones. It was always when I converted them into white and never when I replaced a black screen. It tried every motherboard on another iPhone structure and the problem was the same (front camera not working). In my case, the proportion of defective iPhones is so high, that I've decided to quit converting iPhones until this problem is solved :-(
I am looking forward to reading a solution to this problem :-)

i have the same problem with the facetime when i did my cousin phone not sure why? i have convert a few phones and when i did my i noticed that you can not connect to youtube for afew day after my and my cousins phone and i had to reactivate my facetime and also wifi issue? but now only having problem with facetime and youtube problem on my cousin iphone.? going sit it out for a few days and see what happens. as i assume that once you disconnect the motherboard from the battery, it needs to reset it self as some of your setting get change when you re assembly the phone ie time & date, re-activate facetime.
if that doesn't work i will try and replace the screen again and see if that make a difference? hope someone has some idea's on what happening!!!
weak wifi i solved by remove the shield with 5 screws and replace neatly with all the screws in place tightly so it's gounds the motherboard.
