Ayidi 2 generation tack. A simple and effective way to make the Touch ID work better, more reliable and faster. Update iOS operating system to the latest version

One of the common diseases of the old models of Apple Smartphones (iPhone 8 and earlier) is a breakdown of Touch ID.

Broken or broken button becomes a serious problem, because the fingerprint scanner tied to native motherboard And when replacing the button, it will simply refuse to work.

Let's deal with together what kinds of damage are most often and how can I fix this or that situation.

Replacing the HOME Button Mechanism

Each physical button has its own resource on the number of responses. So active users iphone 5s / 6 / 6s have already completely could exceed it.

The broken button works badly or does not work at all. The sound of pressing is not heard, and the action in the system may not be performed.

If at the same time the top panel of the key is not damaged and the touch ID is working properly, the button itself can be replaced.

Starting with the iPhone 7, the developers abandoned the physical key in favor of a virtual and similar problem ceased to be relevant.

How much is the repair: Repair of the worn out mechanism of pressing is possible on iPhone 5S / 6 / 6S / SE and will cost 1000-1500 rub.

The procedure will take up to 30 minutes

Restoring Touch ID

A much more common breakdown is a fluff of a loop that connects the button and the scanner with motherboard Smartphone.

On the loop of the width of one and a half centimeters, placed with a dozen thin tracks and covered their protective insulating layer.

With incorrect laying of the loop, frequent vibrations or a drop, the loop may break. This can occur even from the natural wear of this part.

It is almost impossible to replace the loop, but it is difficult to restore, but really. Many masters are taken for a similar procedure and fulfill it quite efficiently.

Recovery is carried out only if the Touch ID itself itself works properly. Otherwise, it is easier to replace the entire button with the loss of the fingerprint scanner functions.

How to repair: The restoration of the Touch ID loop takes an average hour and a half, but it is not taken for it in every service center.

The procedure will cost OV 3000 (for iPhone 6) to 6000 (for iPhone 8) rubles.

Replacing the entire button entirely with the loss of functions Touch ID

If on iPhone models With the physical button, the damaged module is possible to replace, albeit with the loss of the work of the fingerprint scanner, then this repair is impossible on the iPhone 7/8 models.

The button is sensory and when installing a non-component, it is simply not recognized by the device. Will not work As the Touch ID and the home button itself.

The ubiquitous Chinese have found a solution to the problem. Here is such a thing with Aliexpress can help in a similar situation.

Our reader already such a solution And they are very pleased.

At first glance, this is a Chinese button that is installed in exchange original on the old iPhone with a physical key.

This button is also physical (it has a pressed moving button), but with a built-in Bluetooth module. How do you like?

The key is connected in exchange original, and after installation connects to the smartphone via Bluetooth. So pressing the button is perceived by the system as pressing the button home and allows you to go to main screen, run the dump panel and take screenshots.

How to repair: Buttons like JC Home. Already offered to establish in many unofficial service centers. A similar device can be ordered on Aliexpress and just find an intelligent wizard for replacement or pay 1500-2000 rub. in the service.

What can be done without repair?

As a temporary solution, you can use one of the iOS chips - AssistiveTouch.. it virtual button On the smartphone screen on which you can immediately assign several necessary actions.

For inclusion, go along the way Settings - Main - Universal Access - AssistiveTouch and activate the main switch.

Below you can set the action buttons to single or double pressing, for a long press or 3D-touch. In addition, some of the features can be located in the menu refusing after pressing the menu.

So you can do some time without a broken home button.

Even the grandmother Petrovna knows: in the iPhone SE there is an alleged "bad" sensor Touch ID! Buying such a smartphone Well, no way, fail, "not a cake", all that.

it truth?

To start a fact: When assembling the iPhone SE, the sensor is used as the same model as in the iPhone 5S - the very first smartphone apple with reader prints. The iPhone 6 is the same model of the Touch ID, and in 6S - quickly fast.

Total 2 Generations of sensors, in iPhone SE, iPhone 6 and iPhone 5S worth exactly the first.

But the criticism at the same time is forgotten: not the "piece of iron" dies to the device, but how it really works. Next, see a short video.

Compare Speed \u200b\u200bTouch ID on iPhone SE, iPhone 5S and iPhone 6S

We checked repeatedly on different fingers, and also rebooted devices. The result does not change: iPhone 5S always "merges" iPhone SE and more than 6s. May lose for a whole second, maybe for a moment.

According to the logic of Internet soldiers between 5S and SE, there should be parity, but it was never happening.

Why is that? Our theory - the sensor is simply easier to breathe due good processor. The rest on the Apple conscience: who knows, maybe there are improvements and software? Who knows.

Output: The argument about the touch ID does not roll. On the iPhone SE, it is faster than 5s. And there is nothing more to add.

P.S.: The difference in the display of colors on the screens is a consequence of shooting in conditions of home lighting and white balance displayed by the "warm" from the displays. Our 6s and 5S screens with a bias in "yellow", so sorry.

The appearance of any new function in apple devices (And not only) causes a wave of discussions, disputes, critics. I did not bypassed this fate and fingerprint scanner, built into iPhone 5S and called Touch ID.

In the Canadian newspaper Toronto Star appeared, entitled "Fingerprint scanner in iPhone 5S: 10 arguments for being bad idea" The title of the article speaks for itself. But let's try to figure it out if the Touch ID really deserves critics - let's take the arguments of the author Toronto Star and consider them more closely.

1. There is a video like a cat unlocks the iPhone. How soon do the hackers get to the scanner?

Well, yes, such a video exists. Moreover, there is still no one hundred such videos, where the Touch ID is unlocked using different parts of the body (including intimate), but what does it mean? Only about the fact that the scanner is able to read prints not only from the fingers. This is bad? Not. Less safe? Also no. Your cat will unlock your iPhone only if you have added a footprint to a list of trusted. Well, of course, it is hypothetically assume that the attackers, making your iPhone, at the same time grabbing your cat to unlock the device with it ... It sounds stupid, is not it?

Well, about hackers - they have already reached the scanner, but the ways of deception Touch Id are far from commonly used.

2. If Apple did something wrong, it will discard the biometric industry for years ago

What does "do something wrong" mean? And why this should be so seriously influenced by the industry that developed before the appearance of the Touch ID, and will develop after, even if it turns out that Apple really mistaken in something.

3. Touch ID is a solution to a non-existent problem.

Here the author of the article sets to pain acquaintance on the forum battles the question - and why people should buy iPhone 5s, pay for him a lot of money if they are satisfied with the iPhone 5. As in the forums, it is very difficult to answer such a question. Or very simple: It is satisfied with the old model - well, do not buy a new one.

4. Apple uses fear to promote this product.

Well, it is generally funny. Fear before? Before possible theft of the device? Before possible access to confidential data? But the touch ID does not have some kind of protection, it simply makes the user identification convenient compared to the usual password input.

5. Wet and contaminated fingers negatively affect the operation of the sensor, causing errors

Good argument. And also - wet and dirty fingers do not work well with touch screen. So they just need to wash and wipe.

6. Somewhere in the smartphone will be stored your prints, and someone will be able to use them.

First of all, Touch ID stores its data in a completely separate place intended for this storage. And in the rest of the hardware of the smartphone, only the result of the "Verification ID Successful / unsuccessful" is transmitted. And somehow to intercept this data from the side is impossible.

Further. In iPhone, fingerprints are not stored. When adding a print, the finger is scanned and converted to a data set, which is saved in the smartphone. Then, when identifying the finger, the finger is again scanned, another set of data is obtained, which is compared with the first. If the data coincides, the user is identified. At the same time, these data sets are specific for the iPhone, the use of them elsewhere (even when they are assumed that they can somehow kidnap) simply does not make sense.

The kidnapper will receive a tarabarshchina, to convert back to the fingerprint it will also "simply", as well as recreate from half an edible cake, and also broken into small parts, the initial culinary masterpiece with all the decorations and cream inscriptions. Such a comparison brought a specialist familiar with this issue.

7. This is a complicated software that can lead to problems.

The author means that complex software Less steadily for hackers attacks. What to answer? iPhone 5S is not the only one in the world electronic device with complex software. And nothing, others somehow live, cope ...

8. It is intended only for the part of the market. For the most part, people do not worry about security

Well, let yourself not worry. No one forces anyone to use the Touch ID, as no one forced anyone to use the password. But since with the scanner, the authentication procedure is much easier than with a password - then, perhaps, someone from those who have not thought about security before, will still use Touch ID?

9. Possible technical problems in the new product

Yes, it happens. But so far no problems are noticed, moreover, users report that the Touch ID "just works", and works fine. And if you proceed from the logic that each new product may face technical problems, and therefore it is bad - then generally new products are better not to release, isn't it?

10. People will use Touch ID at the initial stage, but then refuse, because due to the wear of the sensor, the identification will occur with the delay

Will this delay be? Can anyone argue with confidence? Now there is no delay, the device works quickly and does not deliver problems.

And as a result. Once again - no one forces to use the Touch ID on mandatory. The sensor simplifies identification - and that's all, this is not a panacea from all the troubles, but not their source. Who wants, he will use it, the rest will simply use the smartphone familiar in the past models.

New technologies in most cases are very good, but when they work correctly. Today we will talk about the iPhone without touch id, what it is and what are the solutions to the problem.

Fingerprint scanner today can be found in almost every modern smartphone. Of course, but sometimes very problematic.

Does not work Touch ID on iPhone

Starting with iPhone 5S in smartphones that Apple creates, began to implement new technology Protecting your phone data and it is called Aydi Touch.

The essence is quite simple, the HOME button placed the fingerprint scanner and instead of entering the password you can simply make a finger. Also used to shop online.

Could not complete the configuration of Touch ID

Now we go to the very essence of the problem, many users of 5S iPhones and 6 complained about an error that does not allow to complete the setting of the Aydi Touch.

The meaning of the Touch ID is trite simply, the processor is placed in the phone and it is attached by hardware to the fingerprint scanner.

And this means that with any damage to the scanner, it will not change it. If you put a button from another machine, it will simply work.

The reasons for this situation are as follows:

  • loop damage when replacing the display;
  • damage to the fall of the smartphone;
  • buying a used device.

When in your gadget appears this problem, Most often, just continue to use the device, just without a scanner (you need to turn it off completely in the settings so that there is no error).

If you just bought a phone, then this is either a factory marriage, or you sold the recovered iPhone. Immediately ask the store to change the device to a new one.

With each new APPLE model tries to improve this technology and problems S. last models They are extremely rare.

And after the HOME touch button appears in the iPhone 7, I think errors will occur only after the loop damage.

Should I buy an iPhone without touch id?

If you are looking for new or used iPhone stores, it is quite likely to meet the phones without the working touch of Ayidi and are much cheaper than others.


In general, the smartphone is no worse and can serve you long enough. Some acquaintances took such phones and are quite pleased.

Whether to buy such an iPhone - this is the case individually:

  • Perfectionists - If you like everyone to work perfectly, this option immediately disappears. I myself am in such people and even if I won't use this feature, I want it to work correctly.
  • Anyway on Touch ID - If you understand that this feature You are not so important, you can safely take such a gadget and you will save well.

And once again I want to remind you that such devices do not work worse than the rest, just in them non-working scanner. I wrote a bit higher about the reasons for his failure.

conclusions

In fact, the topic with the non-working Touch ID in the iPhone theme is quite troublesome, especially for service centers for the repair of Apple technicians.

In fact, it's all that I wanted to tell you about this and if there are additional items that I forgot to mention or you want to see in the article, write down.


If you encountered a problem, because of which the touch ID does not work on the iPhone, it may lead to serious consequences, up to the point that the smartphone will stop turning on. After all, the Touch ID function is responsible for the ability to unlock the device using a fingerprint scan. She is designed to protect the iPhone from unauthorized access, but as a result of the breakdown, the smartphone can stop responding to the touch of your finger or recognize the imprint.


To troubleshoot, you can independently enter the password and reconfigure the touch ID scanner on the iPhone. If it does not help, most likely your smartphone will need professional repairs.

What problems can occur in the iPhone scanner

For the first time, the Touch ID scanner began to embed in iPhone 5S. Since then, the technology that allows you to unlock the device using a fingerprint, has been significantly improved. However, the incorrect work of the scanner of prints of the Touch Aidi may still manifest itself several "symptoms":

  • fingerprint scanner does not recognize your finger
  • slept Sensor Settings
  • Touch ID does not work at all
  • it is impossible to use applications that support the function Touch Ayidi

The reasons incorrect work The iPhone Imprint Recognition Sensor can be diverse - from touching the sensor with wet hands to a breakdown of the button of the button, other mechanical damage and system failures in the iPhone.

What are the main causes of such problems

If you bought a new original iphone.But the Touch ID button does not work, there may be several reasons for one. Most often, smartphone owners face the following problems:

  • print recognition failure due to the clutch of the wet fingers
  • the appearance of cuts, abrasions and other notes affecting the fingerprint
  • touch ID system failure
  • fitting the iPhone Clay Buttons
  • other mechanical damage to the smartphone, because of which it is impossible to enter the password
  • system IPhone Failure

All this can lead to the fact that the pattern recognition button does not work, the phone cannot be unlocked, it stopped turning on, etc.

In addition, if the Touch ID does not function on just purchased iPhone 5S or the smartphone of a different model, it can signal that you have sold a restored gadget at a reduced price. Use such a device will certainly be, that's just without professional repair Sensor Fingerprint Restore touch feature ID will not succeed.


What faults can handle yourself

If you encountered that the touch ID recognition system has stopped turning on, it is impossible to unlock the device, etc., the solution to the problem can be tried to find yourself. Try to restart your smartphone by pressing the on button and the "Home" button. If it does not help, re-calibrate Touch ID:

  • go to "Settings - Touch - Password" menu
  • password input, which will unlock the Apple device
  • relieve your fingerprints available in the phone
  • spend a reprint to replace them
  • save the settings and check whether the sensor has earned now

If the password entry and calibration did not help, try flashing your smartphone through iTunes to return the device that did not work to the factory settings. This can be a solution to the problem and will help to avoid re-entering the password, replace the buttons of the idge and the loop button, as well as other major repairs.

What to do if the measures taken did not help

If you have repeatedly entered the password, restarted the device with the "Home" button, calibrated the touch sensor Aidi, but your smartphone still functions inappropriately, does not work Touch ID on the iPhone, the device stopped turning on at all, without professional repair you can not do. You can contact any service center Or to entrust the device with a private friend of YouDo, which has a number of advantages:

  • lack of queues and waiting for replacement buttons
  • the presence of original spare parts for replacement
  • reduced service cost due to the absence of intermediaries
  • convenient ways to order and payment services
