So I replaced the screen and used a third party cheaper screen on my old iPhone 6, but now the home button is a bit loose and I can wiggle it with my finger so to speak, and its making a rattling noise when I touch the home button. The home button works fine except the Touch ID (which is another topic). I have used this exactly same screen brand 3 times earlier both for this phone and other iPhones, and I have not experienced this kind of problem any of the previous times. The home button rubber gasket is present and whole, and the metal bracket is screwed on very tightly over the home button. Everything seems to be whole and normal with the home button and its surroundings. I can’t think of anything obvious which should cause this problem? So any ideas what can cause this problem and how to fix it?
I believe the answer is already in your first sentence..when buying “third party cheaper screens” you can reasonably expect to get all sort of issues: greyish shade, blueish shade, washed out colors and all kinds of size issues, slightly bigger or slightly smaller are the standard. If your home button moves about in the hole it’s usually just because the hole is wider than it should. Brands don’t mean much either, they’re usually just merchant applied stamps or labels.
try putting a slight bend in the metal bracket that the homebutton presses against so it pushes the homebutton out alittle.
