can't call or text

[bingle07]

I went and tried to replace my rear facing camera on my phone and everything went fine but now my 3g wont show up in the corner and it is a circle instead. It wont let me call out or text. Did I bump something I shouldnt have? Its and Iphone 4S.

My suggestion would be to open your 4S back up, take everything apart again and reassemble. This time... be sure to clean all metal to metal contacts w/ a degreaser like windex. Don't clean the actual ribbon connections... just where metal touches metal. Grease from your fingers will cause all kinds of havoc for the wireless signals in an iPhone.

Like spray some on a rag and wipe them?

I wouldn't go as far as using a rag, since the parts are so small. Spray a little windex on a plate, or whatever, and dab a Q-tip into it and go w/ that.
