7380 keeps switching itself off

My 7380 keeps switching itself off - sometimes when its not being touched, sometimes when the controls are touched. It then won't turn back on. Taking the sim card out and putting it back on sometimes works, and the phone will restart, but not all the time. Does anyone else have similar problems?

I've had repeated problems with my 7380 doing the same thing. I received my first 7380 on 26th April and it only switched on twice before refusing to switch on at all. Orange replaced this phone and I received my second 7380 on 28th April.
On 9th June my phone started switching itself off. The problem's getting increasingly worse and now it doesn't stay on for more than 3 or 4 hours at a time. So far I have been able to switch it back on again without too many problems. Orange have promised another replacement which will arrive tomorrow, but I'm extremely disappointed. If the next phone fails then I too will be demanding that Nokia replace it with a different model.

6500 slide keeps switching itself off

Just got my shiny new 6500 slide which keeps switching itself off. The only way of switching it back on when this happens it to take the battery out, put it back in and then press the power button. It happens about once or twice a day and it seems to be when the phone is charging.
Anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way of resetting the phone to prevent this happening?
I'd really like to fix it without the hassle of going back to the shop and trying to demonstrate a very unpredictable fault.

I would definately take your phone back and get it replaced. I had problems with my 6500 slide, every time i turned it on & off i would have to resest the time & date. I purchased my phone from an internet retailer and they exchanged it for a new one, so far i have had no problems...

My 3gs keeps switching itself off and when i turn it on, the date is set to 1st January 1970

I Have an Iphone 3gs that keeps switching itself off and when i turn it on, the date is set to 1st January 1970 :S ... many software resets and updates won't do any good .. repaired at the manufacturer twice for the same, and works till it happens again on it's own. When it was repaired, the fix was mentioned as a reset done for the device. I have a friend who is alse havng same issue.
can someone tell what is the reset that can be done to tr and do it from my end plzzz?

Sounds like the battery is dead. Bu try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iPOd
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem your battery is very likely dead. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

ICloud drive keeps switching itself off on my iPad 2

I have a MBP and an iMac = both on Yosemite and both working with iCloud drive OK.
But I cannot get this to work on iPad 2 with IOS 8 - with either Pages or Keynote. It keeps telling me to set up iCloud - which I do as per instructions - but it sends me round in the same circles!
This is driving me crazy and has wasted hours! I have signed in and out of iCloud several times and enabled iCloud Drive. Then also down to Pages app and checked on for 'use iCloud' Somehow - this switches itself off again after a few seconds! How does this happen?
Why does it not stay on????????
While it is 'on' - Every time I try to use the Pages app I cannot see my iCloud drive documents - and when I try and save it then tells me to set up iCloud!
This is useless to me if it will not work as advertised!

I suggest that you do a update or reinstall of the phone software via the Update Service program. www.sonyericsson.com/updateservice
Hopefully will that solve your problem.
If you get the option to update I suggest that you select to update and also factory reset the phone.
If you only get the option to reinstall you already have the latest version, this will automatically result in a master reset too.

Why does my i phone 4 keep switching itself off

hi can anyone help why does my phone keep switching itself off

Hi jodierigby,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has steps you can take if your iPhone is unexpectedly powering off:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Cheers,
- Ari

My i phone 4 keeps switching itself off

Does anyone have an issue where the I-phone 4 just switches itself off, and the only way to get it running again is to connect to the charger and switch it on , it then comes up with a message to say the battery level is it 30% ?

I have the same issue! In fact I posted this exact question!!
Hugh Grest wrote previously:
Hi,
My iPhone 4s 16GB is giving me a lot of issues with its battery as of late. Once the battery level reaches below about 30% the phone randomly turns itself off -- even if the battery level didn't reach zero. When I try to turn it back on, it just shows the out of charge symbol on the screen. When I plug it in however it turns itself back on immediately and shows the battery level it turned itself off on. I can then unplug it and continue to use it until the battery level drops to zero or the issue happens again.
Both my mom and my sister have the same model iPhone as me and do not have this issue. What should I do? (It has already been restored).
Additional info:
- My Phone is about 23months old
- Running iOS 6.1.3
- This issue has been happening for about 3 months or more
EDIT: Just upgraded to iOS 7... didn't help. Infact it made it worse! The phone battery now drains quicker which means the issue happens sooner!
This is so annoying!

My G5 keeps switching itself off

I switch it on and then after about 3-5 mins it switches itself off.
What gives?
Andy

Look at Applications>Console and check your System log to see if there are any notations about shutting down after exceeding maximum temperatures. You might also like to run Apple Hardware Test to see if there are any problems with your power supply unit. If you have the first G5 model, the Rev A, you can check the LEDs http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300908.

My i phone keeps switching itself off and on

my iphone keeps switching itself on and off

Yes, there is a hard reset, using the power and home button at the same time does temporarily remove power to the device to force a "hard boot" its in the support knowledge base, you can search if you do not agree
the terms hard and soft are just terms i use to make it more understandable to the reader, a 'reset' is what you do to a phone that simply cycles itself and is unresponsive to restarting http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430

Laptop keeps switching itself off

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone out there could help me if they have experienced the same problem.
My laptop has recently started switching itself off, it's joined to the mains so i didn't think it would be the battery, yet when it switches itself off, it shows the orange low battery light, could it be the battery pack or is it something to do with the laptop itself?
Thanks for any help!

Hi Jo,
The usual cause of sudden power-offs is overheating. This is chacterised by the notebook just losing all power with little warning (other than the cooling fans running at full speed). This can be corrected fairly easily by just sucking any dust or debris out of the air intake grilles using a vacuum cleaner hose.
If the notebook powers down in a more controlled fashion then this could be a fault in the power supply electronics which causes the notebook to run on battery power even though the mains AC adapter is connected. In this case the problem may lie with the AC adapter itself, with the connecting cable, or with the socket on the back of the notebook.
regards,

Ive just purchased a secondhand 3gs and the chap reset it...but since ive had it ...it keeps switching itself off...help plz

my iphone keeps switching off can u help plz

Assuming that it isn't shutting down becuase the battery is depleted and you need to charge, restore the iOS.

Can anyone help? Have a Xperia X10i keeps switching itself off & on when using the internet.

This has only started happening after the last update. After approx 5 mins if I am on facebook or playing a game it turns itself off & on all the time. Texting & making phone calls is fine.
I have tried to update again but it won't let me saying it is up to date. Firmware version 2.1 update 1 if that helps any.
Not sure if theres anything in the settings I need to change or maybe I need to install a software program?
Any help/advice is very much appreciated, thank you

Why does Photo Stream keeps switching itself off?

Hello
I use Photo Stream, but I sometimes wonder what the point is as I have found it to be extremely temperamental. Probably 90 per cent of the time I start up iPhoto, I find that Photo Stream has switched off on its own and of course I then have to spend a valuable minute or two switching it back on again. Sometimes new photos do not sync to Photo Stream as a result. This odd glitch has gotten increasingly irritating with time and I would love to fix it. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in anticipation!
PS - I am using the latest version of iPhoto

Do you have more than one library? If you do each time you change libraries you will need to activate PhotoStream for that library as PhotoStream can only be activated on one library at a time.
If you only have one library try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

IPhone 5C keeps switching itself off and struggles to start again. I've updated and rebooted the phone; do I need to go to a store?

I've restarated the phone twice and updated iTunes and the iOS Software. But this problem sill persists. Do I need to take my phone back to an Apple Store to get a new one or is there anything else I can try?

Sounds like you need to take it back to the Apple store and tell them the replacement isn't working.

Ive had my iphone 4s since 10th april and on three seperate occassions its switched itself off completely (whilst having battery) it then wont work for around 2 days, this is very annoying and I dont know what to do as its been out for around 12hours now

I don't know why my phone keeps switching itself off, I've never dropped it, had water damage nor any other damage to it. Ive had it for around 5 months or so now and it just likes to switch itself off for around 30-40 hours then work again as though nothing happened. Although this is great as it will eventually work its very frustrating not knowing if it will switch on again.. at the minute my phone hasnt worked for about 10-12 hours. I went in to the apple shop and they said they couldnt see me for over a week as they were fully booked, I understand that theyre busy but surely they can't expect me to go without a phone/alarm/email for that time when I am paying for it. Does anyone have any help/advice they can offer? Thanks

Standard troubleshooting...
1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
3. Remove apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Swipe up on the app preview card
- Press the home button when done.
4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

My iphone 5 keeps switching itself on and off and screen different colours?

My iphone 5 keeps switching itself on and off randomly, the screen has also gone a green and red colour prior to it turning itself off and sometimes will not come back on unless re-set? help?!

If you already tried a restore to factory settings, it looks like a hardware issue to me.
I would take it to an Apple Store for replacement.
