Problems with the screen after replacing it

Hello IFIXIT Community,

I purchased the iPhone XS OLED Screen Replacement from IFIXIT. After replacing the screen, I noticed that tap to wake does not always work. Another problem I noticed, is that whenever my iPhone XS is in cold conditions, I have to press the screen harder in order for it to register my finger on the screen. A light touch will not work. But if I keep using the phone and the battery warms it, light touches will work (I also installed a screen protector, but I suppose that should not cause those problems). Thanks in advance for any solutions you might provide!

Yours Faithfully,

Iraklis Eleftheriadis

Touch panel isn't working great by the sounds of it.

I'd send back for replacement/refund.

Suddenly, this morning, those problems stopped occurring. I do not understand, if the touch panel is malfunctioning, why does it suddenly work perfectly?

Could be a faulty IC chip on the flex, or not quite great on the soldering, that would cause sporadic touch issues.

Highlight it to your vendor incase it happens again after warranty runs out.

Sometimes just accept something clears up and works 😅

I refurbsihed an 11 pro max oled, worked fine, went to sell it, then colours went inverterted.

Few days later, went back to normal, and was fine ever since!
