8gb 3G when it cuts off doesn't cut back on for awhile.

Hello everyone,
So here we go. I have a 8gb 3G iphone running on iOS 4.1, when my phone gets cut off for whatever reason it stays shut off. I can't turn it back on no matter what I try. I try holding down the power button and home button to hopefully reset it but I have no luck.
My phone is not jailbroken and I have attempted to restore the firmware but that didn't help any. I have also attempted to let it charge overnight for at least ten hours and I have also tried seeing if itunes will recognize it. No luck with anything.
My phone can take up to two days to cut back on! Once it's off I just leave it alone and pray it comes back on. When it's on the charger I see no indication that it's charging and theres just this black screen of death. No apple icon or anything.
Heres another problem, when it's on and goes into autolock the phone cuts off. I have disable the autolock so it wouldn't cut off that way. I think i'm able to put it to sleep at some times but most of the times that just cuts it off.
If theres not much to do, would it be safe enough to just leave it on and not cut it off? If sleep mode works I could just keep it on that when I have to turn it off?

Yes I can't even upgrade it. It's on 4.1. Once it's off it's off
I tried to upgrade it two days ago and now it's just sitting here plugged into my computer. Hopefully it will cut back on soon.
But like i have said i'm not completely sure if sleep works as well. It worked once but i'm really afraid to try it out again due to it going to be off for more days

  • How can I prevent Firefox from cutting off the title of a webpage for use as a file name when printing/saving as PDF if there's a / in it?

    Like it says in the question - when I try to print/save a webpage as a PDF, Firefox (version 36.0, Windows 8.1 64bit, German) usually uses the page's title as the file name. Slashes are, of course, not allowed in file names, but instead of just leaving leaving it out or replacing it with a hyphen, the title is cut off and everything before the last slash is gone, which in some cases results in very odd and misleading file names.
    Is this a known bug? I couldn't find anything. So I'm just wondering if there's either going to be a fix anytime soon, or whether there is a simpler solution than to generate a different title sans slashes specifically for Firefox users.
    Thanks in advance for Your help!

    Only an anonymous proxy will hide the IP and build two connections, one between you and the proxy and a second connection between the proxy and the website that uses an IP from that proxy.<br />
    A normal proxy merely passes all traffic without affecting it, so websites see your IP in such a case.

  • IPod abrubtly cuts off and only comes back on when you unlock the hold button. why and how can i fix this?

    I listen to my iPod Classic at work and it kept cutting off today out of nowhere and this hasn't happened before. I have it in my pocket so I have the HOLD button in the lock position so the wheel won't get pressed while in my pocket. I figured it died on me but I had just charged it last night so I took it out and unlocked the HOLD button. Well, the music immediately came back on. It happened a few more times and i figured maybe it was the song or something so I changed albums and it kept happening. Every time it would cut off, I'd unlock the HOLD button and it'd come back on every time, almost like it was paused or something. Has anyone experienced this? if so, how do I fix it? I really don't want to buy a new iPod since I have little money because of school, bills, and photography/film equipment. Help? thanks.

    I'm having a hard time finding an answer to this too.  This is what is going on.  Sometimes the iPod (iPod Classic 160GB) does not "like" the songs I've downloaded from cds.  Sometimes it does.  I think it always plays whatever songs I've purchased on iTunes though.  The other day I synced it to add two new cds and somehow the iPod was wiped clean--no songs, no pictures, nothing. I did a reset and the songs came back but now these problems: 
    1. The song will play for a few seconds then it either skips to the next song.
    2. The song won't play, just skips to the next song.
    3. Everything just stops, the iPod is still 'on' but won't play anything.
    4. Right now it's playing an Aimee Mann album that I downloaded but it wouldn't play the Joni Mitchell album just before.  Is the iPod making a comment on my taste in music? 
    Flipping the lock back and forth helps sometimes, but not always.
    I bought this device less than two years ago; I really hope it's not permanently messed up. Should I just go to the Apple Store (please I beg of you, don't make me!) and throw myself at their mercy?
    Help!! My iPod is the only thing that gets me through the day in this office.

  • IPhone 4 turns off randomly, and doesn't start up unless its on the charger. Hard resetting it when its turned off doesn't turn it on either.

    My iPhone 4 is running iOS 4.3.4 and it suddenly turns off randomly, usually when the batery is around 85% or so. When I try to turn it on the normal way or hard resetting it, it doesn't turn on. It only turns on when its connected to a charger, and the time and date resets to 7.30am, January 1st 1970. I have no idea why is this happening and how do I resolve this issue? I really don't want to go get it replaced as its too much of a hassle and Im leaving to another country in 2 days time..

    It also starts charging at 70% or so when it turns on..

  • My ipad 2 will cut off completely if not being used for a while. you have to hold power button to power up everytime. anyone else having this problem? thanks

    My Ipad 2 will shut completely down if not being used for a while. You have to hold power button down for several minutes before it will power back on. anyone else have this problem and know how to fix?  My other sons ipad 2 doesnt do this and they have both had updates and are same generation.
    Thanks 

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

  • IPOD Touch pausing when power adaptor cut off

    I listen to my IPOD Touch in my car using an Apple power adaptor. With my two previous IPODs, when I turned off the car, cutting power to the IPOD adaptor, the IPOD would pause, allowing me to resume play from that point when I returned. But my Touch keeps right on playing and I have to manually pause it before getting out of the car. Is there a setting that will make it pause when it loses external power?

  • Right side of placed images being cut off when exported to PDF

    Hi all,
    I'm a beginner still trying to wrap my mind around InDesign and all its features, and have encountered a problem with exporting to PDF. The right-most 1-4 pixels are cut off! I think my problem may be related to what was discussed in this thread:
    Indesign, Image problem with PDF export... right side cut-off...
    But my issue has nothing to do with Visio. I'm simply placing PNG and JPG files that have already been created and are stored locally on my computer. I found that the only way to solve this is to add a few pixel columns of white/empty space to my images so the right side frame line in the images (created by Adobe Illustrator) appear.
    Having to alter my images first before placing them in InDesign is obviously not the best or the correct solution.
    Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this problem and how to correct it? Maybe there's a setting somewhere for image frames that needs to be adjusted?

    Hello again Willi,
    1. I'm using CS6 Version 8.0
    2. Umm... well, I'm VERY embarrassed to say Windows XP (my company is purchasing a new computer for me - I'm using what they have on hand at the moment...).
    3. The graphics are coming from Adobe Illustrator installed on a separate Windows 7 computer. I have a graphic designer colleague who creates images for the installation manuals I put together.
    4. Actually just this morning yet another colleague pointed out that PDF was the better format to use. Yet again I'm VERY embarrassed to say that I used to use Microsoft PowerPoint to create these manuals, and PowerPoint can't import PDF images. I'm trying hard to work with more professional software! That's why my colleague sent me PNG images.
    5. Here's a screenshot below. Remember I'm the guy who asked you that user manuals question in the other thread.
    To explain: the first step's image is in PDF format. The image's border appears fine. The second step's image is in PNG format, and yes, not only does the quality appear to be poorer, but even worse is the fact that the right side border is cut off. This is the same for the same image in JPG format. The other steps don't have images - they're just empty image frames with strokes specified in InDesign.
    Sure, we can use PDFs from now on, but still, the fact that other formats have this issue is bothersome. In Microsoft PowerPoint this wasn't an issue. Any idea?

  • Words cut off at bottom of page

    I have a nicely formated document and on some pages the words get cut off at the bottom when the linespacing pushes them right to the bottom margin. The footer is fine just below it. How can I fix that?

    Yes there are facing pages, each is 8.5x5" and there are about 45 pages to the document. I switched to non-facing pages and that didn't fix the problem. It only happens on pages where the line goes right to the bottom edge. It's almost as though the setting that would push that line to the next page is slightly off. I tried other fonts and the same thing happens. It shows up in the exported .pdf file and also when I print it so it's not a display issue.
    I hate to say it, but I think it's a bug. I'm surprised it hasn't happened to anyone else. Since it only happens on 3 or 4 pages out of the 45, I'll do a hack. Once everything else is totally layed out, I'll slightly adjust the line spacing somewhere on each of the problem pages so that the line pulls up above the cut off.
    Thank you so much for your help fruhulda. If you do replicate it somehow, I'd be curious to find out what the problem was.

  • Persisting Cut-off or unplayed notes problem in Logic Pro X

    Hi Guys,
    I've been having this persisting problem in LogicPro X. Let me just explain it here, I have a MIDI file which i got from the net, i played it in my piano role software and it was fine, but one i just imported the midi into Logic and just exported it straight away( just for experiment purposes), the notes became cut-off( example of cut-off? Ill send you the MIDI which i got on export from LOGIC aswell) when i played them in the piano roll software, and if i import and export the same MIDI in another software its fine, its just trhat ive grown accustomed to Logic Pro and i really enjoy it! I find FL studio and all those things annoying, so thats why i wondered if you guys could help me get a fix. And if something is wrong with my Logic just incase - if you guys give me your email address i will send the midi to you and can you just export it from your software and send it back to me? If the MIDI plays fine could you tell me your Logic Pro settings and such and such thanks! -And FYI if i re-open the exported MIDI in Logic its plays back fine! Im getting really annoyed and confused
    PS: My piano roll software is Synthesia

    You might want set up a key command for "paste at original position". My key command is command/option/shift/p. This seems to work flawlessly. Unfortunately I have run across the bug you're refering to.
