Dead iPhone "connect to power" every 2-3 seconds despite no buttons pressed

My question is should my iPhone be doing this and if not why is it?!
When my iPhone "dies" it powers down (swirly loading, black screen)
Then..
Every 2-3 seconds it flashes up the "connect to power supply" screen.
No buttons are being pressed. My case doesn't cover any buttons so isn't that. Though have taken it off to have the same issue still happen.
Should this be happening?! If so why?! Surely this is wasting power which apparently doesn't exist.
And if its not supposed happen why is it?!

You can turn off FindMyiPhone by logging in to icloud.com on a computer and turning it off there. If you can, try this procedure:
Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

  • IPHONE 4 wakes itself every 15-30 seconds.

    So i was one of the lucky ones to receive an iphone 4 today but wasn't lucky enough to receive a normal one. Basically the iPhone turns itself on every 15sec, Definitely annoying. I've restored it, backed it up, hard reset, and factroy restored and nothing has worked. Is there anyone out in Apple land having the same problem or that has a solution for me? Thanks in Advance

    Hmmm, I had the same issue with my iP4 waking itself in standby/sleep mode, and I couldn't figure out the problem, and I tried every solution I could find, none worked. The phone would periodically wake itself after sleep/standby was activated.
    So, I thought there must be a solution to this problem that I and others may not be considering.
    Here's what I did to fix this problem:
    It seems that the phone is sensitive to external sound input via the mic, and I just happen to notice once when I set a coffee cup down on the table next to the phone, it woke itself, maybe just a coincidence, but I thought it's possible that the mic sensitivity is set too high, so I lowered the Voice Control mic sensitivity level, and viola, no more waking itself.
    I don't know if this will work for other's, but it worked for me, I hope this helps!

  • New Iphone 4 turning off every 20-30 seconds

  • Second Window Appears in 11.03 with iPhone Connected

    Every time I have my iPhone connected to iTunes 11.03, a second, unwanted iTunes window will appear. There is no controlling the window as in that I cannot close it, resize it, minimize it, etc. The only way to close it is to un-minimize the player and then close it, minimize it, etc. However, sure enough, a few minutes later, it will reappear.
    This never happened in earlier versions and nothing has changed. The iPhone is simply charging and am just working on other apps as normal.
    I have check for updates unchecked.
    This only happens when the iPhone is connected.

    I was hoping an update to my iTunes and iOS would have changed something but nope. I am now on iTunes 11.1.0.126 and iOS 7.0.2. Same problem but something strange has happened. Now when I attempt to sync a TV show to my iPhone, iTunes initially shows it being added to the purple Video section of the usage bar. But once the sync is done, the size of Video reverts back to where it was and the increase actually goes into the blue Audio section of the usage bar, after it finishes syncing. When I expand my iPhone view to the left I still see the show under "TV Shows" though. And I still don't see it in Video nor Music on my phone. But I found it interesting that even though iTunes initially added it to the Video section of the Usage, it puts it under the Audio section once it's done syncing.

  • Why does my ipod keep disconnecting and connecting every half a second?

    I had my iPod touch (4th gen, ios6) synced to a desktop and when I tried connecting it to my new laptop to sync it keeps connecting then disconnecting every half a second (flashing on and off) and will not connect at all. Do I need to do something with my old computer? I don't think it's something wrong with the cord because it connects to the wall just fine.

    Different conductors/contacts are used for charging and dats. Thus, it still could be a bad cable.

  • I have iPhone 5 IOS 8.1.2; for past 13 weeks I get message that my phone has not backed up on the cloud. Every night however the wifi is on, phone is connected to power, and screen is locked. Any idea why back-up is not happening ?

    I have an iPhone 5 IOS 8.1.2;
    for the past 13 weeks I get the message that "this phone has not been backed up on the cloud". However, every night it is connected to wifi, phone is connected to power, and the screen is locked. Any idea why back-up is not happening ? By the way, I do not have the "back up now" option in Setting / iCloud.. Help anyone ?

    Try deleting an other icloud backup and see if it will automatically backup.

  • My iphone 3gs is totally dead and not charging if I will connect to power connector too

    My iphone 3gs is totally dead and not charging if I will connect to power connector too
    It shows only the battery charging sign when I will coonect to power connector and press menu button. But if I will put it for whole day or night too , It is not charging.
    Please tell me what I can do.
    I am so frustate.
    Please help me.
    Thanks

    Are you currently plugging it into a computer? If so, try plugging it into a USB power adapter. It's possible that you're trying to charge it from a low-power USB port, and that's not enough to sustain your phone and get it charging.
    If you're still unable to get it to charge, schedule a visit with your local genius bar at apple.com/retail

  • My iphone4s does not turn on,when I connect to power ,it shows the message "connect to itunes" but when I connect to iTunes,my pc does not detect my phone,so iTunes does not detect my iPhone.

    My iphone4s does not turn on,when I connect to power ,it shows the message "connect to itunes" but when I connect to iTunes,my pc does not detect my phone,so iTunes does not detect my iPhone.

    Are you running the most recent version of iTunes for Windows on your PC?  You may be running an older version that is incompatible with the 4s.
    Hope this helps

  • IPhone 5 and 5c can't connect to Internet every 1 or 2 days with iOS 8.0.2

    After having upgraded my iPhone 5 and my wife's iPhone 5c to iOS 8.0.2, they both can't connect to Internet every 1 or 2 days.
    They can't connect via wifi neither via 3G.
    If I restart the devices they start to connect again.
    I tried to reset the network settings and also to restore the devices from scratch via iTunes like the Apple support suggested me,  but the issue still persists.
    I'm very frustrated also because I bought to my wife an iPhone telling her she wouldn't have had all the issues she used to have on a previous Samsung smartphone...
    Anyone has having the same issue?

    After the update, try resetting your cellular network settings on the phone. Make sure the airplane setting is correct and try shutting it on and off to see if that works.
    See if that helps.
    Good Luck!

  • My iphone 5 is not powering the scree, when i connect the iphone to the power it only vibrates

    my iphone 5 is not powering the scree, when i connect the iphone to the power it only vibrates o make the connect sound (is like the sound when you connect the phone to power) and the screen remains black, itunes recognizes the iphone, but i cannot do a hard reset because the power button does not work, and have password in my phone so itunes wond restore it. i want to know if is a hardware problem like the mother board o something. help please

    If you have iOS 7 installed, you can try to restore it via the instructions given by lllaass in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5634135
    As an alternative, you could take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs test it and see what is wrong beyond the failed power button.

  • IPhone 4 will not charge when connected to power

    I have tried the home/ power trick and at first it went to the apple logo then would power up and then cycle off and then repeat infinitely. Now the phone is so low on power that it only shows either the lightening bolt while connected or the cord + lightening bolt when not connected to power. It is still not charging though. I left plugged in overnight and still no change.Help please

    If not a problem with the power adaptor or cable being used, more than likely the iPhone has a hardware problem with the battery or something else. Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

    Just read that someone had the same problem on 3gs and someone had replied to press the home button and power button at same time, so I tried this and within a few seconds my phone had switched itself back on.

  • HT1430 My iphone 4 wont charge it stays on the connect to power screen, what shall I do?

    Hi David,
    Here is an article that may help you troubleshoot that issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    I recommend checking into several sections in Power/Battery, including "Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter," "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive," and "Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off."
    Take care,
    - Ari
