Alias 2 charged but keeps turning off

Is it time for a new battery, although it looks like it's charged.  I can keep turning it back on, make calls or text.  But leave it alone for a minute and off it goes.  have had it 2 years.

Is the battery fitting tightly in the battery compartment? Is there dust or debris on the contacts? Try cleaning out the battery compartment and contacts with a Q-tip and see if that improves performance.
You can also try a new battery; online accessory stores have them for very reasonable prices and a backup battery is never a bad idea. Just google your phone model for replacement batteries, and be sure to buy OEM.

  • Received a replacement ipod nano in early January . Works well in a sound system but keeps turning off when earphones are used. tried 3 pair but same result. When tried for support comes up as  expires. Says I have to purchase . Why????

    Received an ipod nano replacement in January. It works in a sound system but keeps turning itself of or loosing sound when earphones are used. I have tried several sets os earphones with the same result. When I just tried to seek support my Serial number comes up with warranty expired although the letter says 3 mths warranty. What gives Apple ??? Any one any advice??/

    This is usually an indication that your headphones are not plugged all the way in.  The white plastic part of the headphones should be flush with the Nano and no silver from the plug should still be visible.  The headphone jacks on the new 6G Nanos are a bit tighter than previous generations, so it requires a bit of extra push to get the headphones to pop all the way in.
    Also check make sure the jack is clear of debris such as lint.

  • My ipod touch will not charge or register in itunes.  It keeps turning off and then showing the apple logo?

    My ipod touch will not charge or register in itunes.  It keeps turning off and then shows the apple logo.  I have tried holding down the button and plugging it in.  It will show the red battery for a second and then turn off?  Any other suggestions?

    I have checked for problems with the connections, but from what i can see with the naked eye, nothing appears abnormal. It is very strange, and very sudden. It just stopped in the middle of a charge. The apple store is my next step. I just wanted to see if anyone on here had some extremely eye-opening solution or check. thanks though!
    I'm also within warranty, so it's not a huge problem.

  • My iPhone 5 is charging but wont turn on even with the hard reset and restore. Keeps showing low battery. HELP PLEASE

    My iPhone 5 shows it's charging but wont turn on even with the hard reset and restore. Just keeps showing low battery. HELP PLEASE
    I usually sleep with my phone on charge through the night and I haven't had any problem since, I left my iphone 5 charging last night and in the morning it stated 100% charged so I decided to turn the power off normally (Hold the hold button till it says slide to turn power off) I turned it off and suddenly my iphone went straight to low battery. Although I have been having weird battery percentage changes for example it would stay on 1 % for an hour or so or drain really quickly.
    I have restored it as i thought was the thing to do all it's doing it restoring and still stating low battery and I have charged it for hours +. I can't hard reset it nor restore it NEED HELP PLEASE.
    Most Apprieciated.

  • My iPhone 5 keeps turning off and on while charging

    I am trying to restore my iPhone 5, but it keeps turning off and on. It also turns off and on while charging. Is there anyway I can fix this? I did update it to the newest iOS.

    Hi terikins!
    Here is an article that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
    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 LCIs and 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.

    Could be a defective battery, you should get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store next to your place.

  • IPhone 3GS keeps turning off/shutting down.Have done system restore but no improvement. Suggestions welcome.

    iPhone 3GS keeps turning off/shutting down. After numerous attempts I've managed to get it on again. Any ideas - could it be battery? Suggestions welcome.

    Try forcing the phone into recovery mode and restore as a new device.
    Follow these steps:
    iOS: How to back up your device and setup as a new device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    Doing this will help eliminate any possible software issue that could be causing this. Setting up a new device will bypass a backup with possible data corruption.
    If the issue continues after this, you should contact Apple for service for the phone as it will very likely be a hardware issue.

  • My ipad 2 keeps turning off and on

    So my little brother is playing with my ipad 2 and he keeps playing until the battery is drain to 5%, when I try to charge it, it turns off(or shut down), normally I think it is common 'cause of the drained battery, but when I charge it, the big battery logo with red lines(indicating that there's only few battery power left) showed up( I think it's charging) and without turning it back on, the apple logo showed up, and I think it turn on automatically, but when the moment it turn on, it keeps turning off again...This problem keeps repeating from the big battery logo and turning off again.
    I dont know how this is happening, This is the first time this happened.
    The only reason I'm thinking is, "does my ipad battery or my charger is slow in charging and when it charged a few percent of battery and turn on again it drains the charged battery again?" Any help is appreciated, And sorry for my bad english( english is not my mother language). Thanks in advance..

    Hi GreeD28,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You explained the situation very well, and it sounds like you are seeing this image flash on the screen when charging your iPad:
    If so, you may just need to let your iPad charge for longer before using it, as explained in this article:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
    This image means that your device is charging.
    It's important to note that if the battery is extremely low on power, your device may display a black screen for up to two minutes before one of these images appears. Continue charging for at least 30 minutes, or until your device is fully charged.
    If you have charged your iPad and it still shows the screen above or turns off after the Apple logo appears, try these troubleshooting steps next:
    If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
    Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • My 3rd gen ipod touch keeps turning off

    My 3rd generation Ipod Touch keeps turning off. I put it on charge until full, but when I switch it on it turns off after a few minutes.
    Is this a hardware problem or a faulty battery?

    Save your time and frustration. Return to Apple for an exchange product.

  • Ipod 4th gen keeps turning off

    My iPod 4th gen has a full battery, but it keeps turning off.  The power button does not turn it back on, I have to put it on the charger.  When I do that it shows a dead (red) battery.  Can someone tell me why???

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
