My iphone 4 has been acting up since I installed iOS7.1. It only works while it's plugged in, overheats while charging and randomly plays music.HELP!!!

Place the iPhone into recovery mode and restore the iPhone with iTunes on your computer.

  • My iphone 4s only works when plugged in, experiences random crashes, and the wifi is grayed out?

    First post here. I'm experiencing some pretty complicated issues with my iphone 4s of several years, which began yesterday at random. I'm sorry for the length, but if someone could read through all of this and help me out, I would be so grateful.
    I started experiencing some complex issues with my iphone yesterday, seemingly at random. I was taking a phone call, and all of a sudden, my phone goes dark. The battery was between 50%-80% at the time. I immediately plugged it in, and the apple logo appeared and began to power on. When it came back on however, I immediately noticed some changes. For starters, the battery leapt to 100%. The top corner of my phone where the carrier and bars should be says "searching..." (this never goes away). When I go into settings, the wifi is grayed out and says "no wifi."
    That's not the worst of it though. As of last night, the number of times my phone crashes has gotten progressively worse. Now, even when I plug my iphone in to a wall charger, it stays on for maybe 1-4 minutes before it crashes completely. After this, it sometimes restarts itself. Before the shut-down, there are usually some weird bars or colors that flash across the screen (it's always different). I'm running on ios5 (I just really like the layout so much more, so I never bothered updating).
    I don't think I did anything out of the ordinary to my phone. I walked in the rain for a short while when it was in my back pocket, but I've done this many times before and I don't see how that could create massive water damage. Also, it worked perfectly fine for a few hours after I got home. Quite literally, this just happened out of the blue. No warning, no signals, nothing. So far, I've tried...
    - turning it on and off (duh)
    - doing a hard reboot by holding down the middle and top buttons, several times
    - resetting the network settings
    - turning off data roaming and toggling airplane mode on and off
    I even attempted the freezer trick. I didn't put the phone in the actual freezer because I was worried about condensation, but I did set it down on an icepack. This seemed to keep it alive a little bit longer before crashing, but only marginally so. My original plan was to plug my phone into my computer and download all my pictures and whatnot before attempting a complete data wipe and factory reset, but this also seems impossible. When I plug the phone into my laptop, the little apple logo comes and goes, but it simply never powers on fully. And even if it did, I doubt it would stay on long enough for me to complete a download without things crashing.
    I'm totally lost here. Is my phone wrecked? I'm sensitive about my privacy, so I'm not crazy about the idea of taking my phone to the apple store and having them make some sort of copy of my data. I'm also not crazy about uploading all of my phones data to iTunes or the cloud or something like that. In addition to this, I don't know how I would salvage my in-app data. That's also something I'm worried about. I can't attempt to update my ios without wifi or the ability to plug my phone into a computer. All of this would be a lot easier if I could keep my iphone on longer than 2 minutes.
    I've had this phone for years. I really don't want to just let it die at random and never even know why. I just feel like this hit me out of nowhere. Any suggestions about what I could do? I'm willing to try everything. I'm planning on calling apple, but I was thinking of asking online first.
    BONUS: if anyone could answer these extra questions (you don't have to), that would be awesome! When you do a complete data wipe and restore your iphone to factory settings, where does all of your data go? Is it actually *gone* for good? I'm not just talking about photos, but also internet history, in-app data, and youtube history from the youtube app. Does it disappear completely? Or does it get stored somewhere. Also, is there anyway to downgrade a new iphone to an earlier ios without jail breaking it? I've pretty much lost hope with this phone, but if I get a new one, I just wish there was some way to keep using the old ios I'm used to.
    Thanks so much to anyone who can answer these questions.

    I have tried everything
    If that is the case, by definition there is nothing left you can do...
    Did you try connecting to another computer?  Did this computer ever detect the phone?  Does the USB system on your computer work normally with other devices?  What is your computer OS version?  iTunes version??

  • My iPhone 4 will only work when it's plugged into the wall charger. What can I do ?

    Please help.

    Hello DaShiaa,
    I would be concerned too if my iPhone would not power on unless plugged in.  I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this.  I recommend following the steps below:
    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 15 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.

  • Problem with iPhone 5: Wifi Only Works When Close to Wifi Router

    I've recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.0.2. I am actually having a problem with the wifi connection. In which, I can only uses the wifi when I'm close to the wifi router.It seems when I'm further than about 2/3 meters away from the router I get no connection, and then sometimes (not often) I get it and then it goes again.
    Any suggestion on how to fix that?
    Thanks.

    Having exactly the same issue,  WiFi on 6.0.1 worked fine for me.  Now I have to be sat next to the router.  I've tried forgetting the newtworks and joining them again and no joy.  I had 4 known networks and none of them work.  Will there be an update for this? 6.0.3?  Or are we stuck with it?

  • After installing ios7 on my iphone 4, bluetooth is not pairing with my bluetooth car speaker.  I have restored settings.  Any tips?

    Can anyone help/  After installing ios7 on the iphone 4, I cannot connect bluetooth on the phone with my bluetooth car speaker.  It worked before ios7.  I have restored my phone but it is still not working.

    Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. This will not affect data. Remove the car speakers from the phone under Bluetooth, and remove the phone from the car stereo. After that place both devices back into pairing mode and reconnect.

    I'd installed IOS7 on my Iphone 4, but after that the frontal camera didn't work, somebody knows why?

    DO NOT restore all settings!!!!  This will require you to call and reactive your services, rendering your phone a useless brick!  You will lose all contacts, photos, etc...  You need to restore your phone to its last back up.  Then do the update on your computer.  This will resolve your issues.

  • I just installed ios7 on my iPhone 4s.  It seems to be working fine but all of the apps I had previously installed are gone.  They show up in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts are gone.  Does anyone know how to get the shortcuts back?  Thanks!

    I updated via my iPhone 4s.  The apps were on my iPhone 4s.  That's all the information that I have.  The update to ios7 seems to have gone smoothly - everything else is working, phone texting, email, internet, etc.  But all of the apps I had installed over the past year are no longer showing up as shortcuts.  No facebook, no twitter, no espn, etc.  They are all still listed in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts and my folders are gone.  Thanks.

  • I installed iOS7 on my iPhone and it switched my carrier

    I installed iOS7 on my iPhone and it switched my carrier, I originally had an iPhone4 for Virgin Mobile then it switched to Verizon. I don't know if the apple store will be able to fix it, but i can't use my phone and there is no carrier next to the bars, only in settings can I see that it says Verizon. I'm flustered and need help.

    Try these troubleshooting steps from this article out:
    iPhone: Troubleshooting a cellular data connection
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3780
    Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait three seconds, and then turn off again.
    Restart your iPhone.
    Ensure that your software is up to date:
    Check for a Carrier Settings Update. Tap Settings > General > About.
    Check for an iOS Software Update. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
    Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
    Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
    If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try toggling it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
    Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still does not, contact your carrierto report the issue.
    Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Restore the iPhone as new.
    Contact your carrier to:
    Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
    Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
    Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
    If none of the above steps resolves the issue, contact your carrier, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
