    iPhone 6S won't charge, detects cable.

    When I put a charged battery it does what I described in the first post starting from B, just instead of 2-3% it goes from whatever the battery is charged at to dead, and then the cycle starts again.

    iPhone 6S won't charge, detects cable.

    I don't fully understand that charging circuit. Is Q2300 used just to let the battery power PP_VCC_MAIN? That would explain it being open when the phone is drawing current and closed once it is not charging anymore. Is there no current sensing circuitry for the battery on the 6S?

    iPhone 6S won't charge, detects cable.

    That line is I believe TIGRIS_ACTIVE_DIODE, as I said it did not change regardless of whether the cable was plugged in or not, however I did not measure it when the phone was drawing current from the USB port, I only did it once it was on. I can't measure that until next week, I'll report...

    iPhone 6S won't charge, detects cable.

    Hi everyone, I have an iPhone 6S that is giving me some problems. When it first landed on my desk it came as not charging. I checked the basic stuff (USB flex, battery, etc.) and determined that since it was not even detecting the cable the Tristar must have been fried, so I replaced it...
