Phone dies and shuts off in the middle of call?

I have a Blackberry 8300 curve, had it now for almost 2 years. Recently with no incident (didn't drop,get wet etc.) my phone just shuts off without warning when I am talking. The battery life looks completely charged (it is always yellow now) but the phone just shuts off. I am hoping it is just a battery issue but Att jerk said I need a new phone of course. Love my phone and just want to make it work with minimal money spent. Do you think I just need a new battery?Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forums fellas
This could be a battery issue, but I can't say for sure. Try to drain the battery to 15% percent and recharge to 100% again...sometimes the battery counter needs to reset so that it can accurately predict the charge left.
3rd party apps and themes can also cause issues. Did this behaviour start to occur after installing something new?
Also check your "file free" in Options>Status. Try to keep this number above 15000000 Bytes because low memory can cause issues as well.
A media card can also be the cause this. Either of you installed a new one recently? Try running without it to see if it is the cause or not.
Remember to do a battery pull every few days:
1. Remove the battery while phone is turned on
2. Wait a few seconds before inserting it again
3. Allow the long boot up process to finish (takes a few minutes usually)
This clears most software issues that occur on blackberries from time to time. You could also use Quickpull, a free app that simulates a battery pull without physically removing the battery: http://software.crackberry.com/product.asp?id=27660
A battery pull reclaims memory lost during application usage and clears minor software errors that creep in over time. The blackberry runs an OS just like your PC runs windows and the battery pull is the equivalent of a reboot/restart on your computer.
Post back with your results/findings and we can take it from there!

Randomly shuts off in the middle of songs.

My brand new nano randomly pauses and shuts off in the middle of songs...help!

Same thing happened to mine. Im trying to figure out if its under warranty but i dont remember the date i bought it on. i think its the headphone jack. This seems to be real common. Its supposed to pause when unplugged but mine doesnt. then when the screen goes to sleep it will pause. Real strange. Poor design. I hate the unplug pause feature for this reason. Mine will play if I keep my finger on the screen or keep it plugged into the charger.

Laptop Shut Off In the Middle of System Recovery

I tried to factory reset my laptop and it shut off in the middle of the process. No when I turn it on it says boot device not found, please install operating system on your hard disk, hard disk (3F0). Help!

I see that your notebook is not detecting the hard drive. Start by doing a Hard Reset to see if it detects the hard drive. You can try accessing your BIOS to see if it still sees the hard drive there. How long have you had the notebook for?

After iOS 7 download have to do "hard resets" several times a day...phone freezes and shuts off

After ios7 I have to do "hard resets" several times a day. Phone freezes and shuts off.

Hello Hockey2013,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Usually for an iPhone that is doing this I would recommend resetting the device, but you do that already. Next I would have to recommend backing up to iTunes, then restoring the device.

After you restore the device I would set it up as new and use it for a bit to see if the issue persists. If it does not, restore from your backup and then test it for a bit again to verify that it works.
Regards,
Sterling

Why is my 6plus turning off in the middle of calls?

my 2nd 6plus is having the same issue of turning off during the middle of a call. 20% of all calls my phone will act like it shut down while talking and then 20seconds later the apple logo appears like it is turning on. The interesting thing after the phone comes back on, the caller is still there. Apple says they have not heard this yet and I have had 2 6 pluses have the same problem - Sprint is the carrie.
thank u

I clicked that I had this same problem on your question...and just found this in another thread and am trying it after I send this to you. Hope it works for both of us!

Re: Why does my apps suddenly shut down when in use?
Jan 8, 2012 10:22 AM (in response to Kctc)
I just got this problem fixed on my iPad. Here's what to do..
Double click the round on/off button at the bottom of the screen
A display of apps which are currently running will appear at the bottom of the screen
Press and hold an app icon until a little red minus sign appears on the icon (it will appear on all of them)
Press the minus sign, and the app will completely close. Clear all app icons.
Go to safari and make us all tabs are closed.
Reboot iPad by pressing and holding main power button on the top side of iPad.
The problem should vanish when you power up again....for good!
Good luck!

Can't re-download any purchased apps//app store constantly shuts off in the middle of searches.

After iOS 6 update--cant redownload any previously purchased apps from app store. App store constantly shuts off when in the middle of searches.

It happens to me almost every time but if you hold the power/sleep button and the home button for about 10 seconds to do a hard reset it usually works for me. I have an iPod touch 4G with ios6.

My new 8830 shuts off in the middle of the day sometimes

Hi I just got a new 8830 and find that on three occasions now I have had it strapped to my belt and noted that there was little activity. No calls, no emails. I pull it out of the holster to find it completely shut off and nothing starts it up again unless I take the battery out and re insert it? Should I return this unit now and replace it or am I missing something?

Try this and see if it solves the problem...
Go to Settings>Auto On/Off> Make sure they are both Disabled.
This feature turned the phone off and on at a certain time, this could be the reason why this is happening to you.

Ipod nano shuts off in the middle of songs

Received a 6th generation ipod nano for Christmas, and it frequently stops playing in the middle of songs and shuts down. Anyone have any ideas? Battery power is not the issue as it has happened with the battery at nearly full charge, and also with it at less than half charge. I can usually turn it back on again, but sometimes it is more difficult. Headphones are fully plugged in so that is not the issue. Is the device defective?

If you are positive the headphones are plugged ALL the way in, meaning the white part of the headphones are flush with the Nano, also check to make sure the headphone jack is clean and clear of debris.
Otherwise, bring it in for service as it may be a hardware malfunction with the headphone jack.

IPod keeps shutting off on the middle of movies

I have an iPod touch and everytime I get to certain part of by videos the iPod flickers and then completely shuts off. Its not the video files because they work fine on my iPod video. Any ideas why this is happening?

same problem, i tried to re sync them and it only changed the point at which the video stoped at. then i make an appiontment at the apple store "genius bar" and they told me that the problem was the way i was downloading the videos and that something might have gone wrong with the sync. then he gave me a new one and it had the new apps on it =) but then i synced the videos to my new ipod then happened again >:o so DONT bother going to the apple store to trade it in for a new one it will only happen again. i heard if you sync the videos with windows XP it will work fine!

Why does Apple TV randomly shut off in the middle of playing music?

Can anyone please help us with Apple TV? It worked the first night and played for the entire evening. Now it will play for a short time and just stop mid way through a song. Any thoughts?

Switch to the appropriate input on the TV.

No, that would be rather annoying to constantly have to sign in and out.

My Apple TV shuts off in the middle of a show/movie

I have checked the connection, updates, sleep time...everything I can think of that would lead to this discussion.
I am close to getting rid of it and getting a Roku.
Someone help please!

I am experiencing the same problem. This has been happening for the last two weeks. It's very frustrating. I can't get through a show on Hulu or Netflix without my Apple TV (gen 2) freezing and restarting. While I am watching a show the screen goes black, the indicator light in the front of the Apple TV starts blinking, a circle of white bars flashes on my TV, and the the Apple TV starts up again at the main menu. I have unplugged my Apple TV and replugged it, but the problem persists.

Phone Dropping out of Bluetooth in the middle of calls???

I just bought a Jabra bluetooth headset and paired it with my Droid 2. Seems to work great.... for about 1 minute.... and then the Droid inexplicably disconnects from bluetooth - even in the middle of a call! I go back into settings and have to re-enable blue-tooth. What gives? I'm on a dang call!!! Why is it doing this? How am I supposed to be "hands free" if the stupid phone keeps dropping blue tooth?

Hi.
Have you been able to successfully pair, and use your Bluetooth? Do you know the exact Bluetooth that you have? Are they both fully charged when using? If you still need assistance, please send me a Private Message and I will be happy to further assist you.
Thank you,

I just loaded a few more songs and now it shuts off in the middle of the new songs on

Tried deleteing and reloading but it still does it only on those new ones. I had downloaded software updates prior to loading these new songs. What do I need to do to correct this? And how do you reload firmware which I am reading a lot about?

This is the Zen Nano Plus. Forgot that in first msg.

My IMac shuts off in the middle of an application. How can I prevent this?

Frequently, when I am using my IMAC, the machine suddenly shuts down and then restarts. It is very frustrating and I have lost unsaved work on many occasions. Has anyone else run into the same problem and if so, how do I prevent it from happening in the future?

You are going to have to provide more information...
The only time I ever encountered this was when I went to do a service call on someone with a loose connection on the plug right in the back of his iMac. Not every time but often when he wiggled the screen to adjust it he moved the power bar and / or power cable just enough to momentarily break contact.
We plugged everything in securely and the problem never recurred...
If yours is shutting down & restarting because of a power circuit fault there must be a problem with it that should be looked at.
