Now my battery life drains by 1% every time I do anything. It wasn't like this before the guy ****ed with my phone.
I ordered a home button replacement, a charging port, and a repair kit so I can fix my phone myself. Are there any other parts I should order like maybe a new screen? The screen seems to have lost some sensitivity too, but maybe it's in my head. If I fix my home button and charging port then will my battery life improve?
I'm in Vietnam, so I don't think I can just send my phone to Apple for repairs. That's expensive anyway.
If the phone has water damages, I recommend you make plans to purchase an new phone. Letting “a guy” attempt to open the device in the manner you stated is your fault, especially if the guy isn’t an authorized Apple repair person.
Check with your wireless carrier for repair shop recommendations, if applicable.
