I replaced the screen and midframe now new problems

I put a new digitizer, lcd and midframe assembly on an LG G5. Phone booted normally and digitizer works as expected, however new problems have arisen.

1) When answering or placing a call the screen immediately goes dark and you must touch the power button to light the screen back up. I assume that this is a proximity sensor issue, but what is happening for sure since the sensor is built into the mainboard?

2) Also the earpiece speaker does not work and the phone must be in speakerphone mode to hear a call.

Any ideas or tips will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Doug,

I'm currently experiencing proximity sensor issues as well, so I can't help you there.

However, with the earpiece, I'd check to make sure the contacts are touching, and you didn't rip the little sticky film with the hole in it when you reassembled the phone. I'm not an expert, but judging from what I saw when I fixed my screen, that's where I'd look first.

I had the same issue. I'd damaged the contacts on the ear piece speaker! I bought a replacement on ebay for £3.40 though and it works fine now.

Hey, guys just bought my screen and digitizer from I fixez. have the same problem as Doug dont know why doesn't work I cloned it exactly how it was I don't think it's the proximity sensor because when I make a call on Hangout and I hit the power button and turn it back on I get some of the buttons back but I don't get the hang up or the photo
