I have the exact same problem. The 5s was running 7.1 so I reset everything and started from scratch with iOS 8.1 (no backup restore) but it made no difference. I just replaced the digitizer & screen and STILL have the same problem! Does anybody know how to fix this???
Just a little extra clarification on the de-soldering: I struggled at first because I thought the metal foil strips from the battery were the things to be de-soldered, but in fact they are stamped onto small, thin, square metal plates and its the plates that need to be de-soldered from the circuit board, not the foil (same of course for the new battery as well as the old one).
I had endless problems with my Ring Video Pro after the first year. I bought a bigger power-supply, rewired, and disconnected/reset many times only to have it fail again shortly after (often on the first button-press). I didn’t even know it had an internal battery until red the reddit post -
There is also a small plastic ring around the front-facing camera that may come away with the broken screen. Make sure to recover it and re-attached to the camera before reassembly.
If you are removing broken glass be sure to recover the steel plate glued to the top of glass as well as the home button at the bottom of the assembly.
