E71 Shutting off and restarting

Hi
I just bought my first Nokia phone in years, E71, which worked fine for about 2 weeks.
Problem is that sometimes it shuts down and then turns on again, and when it's fully up and running again it will shut off again and the turn on again. This will keep happening until I take out the battery and put it back in again and turn it on by self. I can not press anything in between it's up and running and before it shuts off again, as it's not reacting.
Sometimes it just shuts off and stays off until I notice and then turn it back on.
I don't know if anyone have experienced the above, but I really hope that you have so that you might come with a couple of views on this issue.
Should also be mentioned that I currently live in Singapore, and when the sun is out and burning a hole in my pocket then the battery tends to get really really warm and it is usually when I go inside and the battery is cooling down that it's starting to give me trouble. Mainly then, but far from always.

This is common problem, reported several times on this forum. It is not a hardware problem but a most likely a problem with the operating system and its interface with the network. See related posts at: /discussions/board/message?board.id=communicators&thread.id=28866 and /discussions/board/message?board.id=communicators&message.id=50039#M50039
and maybe some others I missed.
If you can, return the phone to where you bought it and get a different model, that's my advice. Nokia hasn't found anything better than having its customers send the phone back several times, repairing and replacing the phone, but the problem is still there even with a brand new E71. Now they don't even bother returning my calls.

  • Safari + Silverlight + Full screen = MBP suddenly shuts off and restarts

    In the past few weeks, my MacBook Pro has unexpectedly shut off and then started back up three times. Each time it happened while I was watching full-screen Silverlight video in Safari (4.0.3) — twice on the Netflix website and once on the NBC Sports website.
    The first time I had been watching the video for several minutes before it happened; I switched to a different computer to finish my movie.
    The second time it happened as soon as I switched into full-screen. I watched the rest of the game in a window (i.e., not full-screen) without incident.
    The third time happened after seven minutes of full-screen video. I switched over to Camino (1.6.9) and was able to watch the rest of my movie in full-screen without incident.
    I've watched full-screen video in Safari many times before without problems, but the last three incidents have occurred the last three times I've done it (i.e., it now seems to be happening every time).
    Each time, my MBP was connected to power, so I don't think it's a battery issue. Could it be an overheating issue? The fact that I was running the same software combination each time suggests to me that it's a software problem, but the symptom suggests hardware. Thoughts?

    Update, As of today, they STILL haven't shipped me a new battery, they claim they are within their 5-7 business days limit still and that it might/should ship tomorrow.
    I went into an Apple Moron Bar today and inquired about swapping one out in the store (they had plenty in stock) because the Applecare tech I spoke to said that it might be a faster option. The Apple 'tech' (seriously, he might be really good at ipods, but I doubt he knows how to turn on anything worth more than $300 with an apple logo on it, much less troubleshoot it) claimed he didn't have any batteries in stock.
    "Excuse me, but you have a shelf full of them over there"
    "I don't have any for replacement, you are welcome to buy another though or I can order one from Apple"
    Great, so my MacDesk Pro is still without battery power.

  • Good day my question is , does anyone of you experiencing when making a call with facetime the phone shuts off and restart

    good day my question is , does anyone of you experiencing when making a call with facetime the phone shuts off and restart

    See this veeeeeeeeeery long thread.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3404857
    It's an issue with hundreds of phones.  Some claim it's software related, some hardware, some say it's a mixture of both.
    Some people have had temporary success with quitting the Phone.app / restoring as a new phone / restoring from an iCloud backup / disabling Siri / toggling speakerphone on & off...
    Unfortunately all of the above only been temporary, with the problem recurring again after a few calls, or a few days etc.
    So far the only solution that seems permanent has been to replace the phone.  But even so, it's the luck of the draw to recieve a functional phone, and not another faulty one.
    I'm completely annoyed as there is no Apple Store near me...... and Apple haven't even acknowledged the issue, despite the above thread being 34 pages long, as of writing.

  • My iPhone 5s keeps randomly shutting off and restarting. It can either be in use or just sitting there and it will turn off. I can't figure out what is wrong.

    My phone randomly shuts off. I will be in the middle of using it and it will completely turn off. I can also not have used it all night and I will pick it up and click the home button and then it will flash the apple restart screen. I'm not sure what is causing this as I have only had the phone for about two weeks. It's a little concerning and just wanted to see if anyone knew what it could be without me having to go into the Apple store.
    Thanks!

    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • MacBook Pro randomly shuts off and restarts a few seconds later

    I brought my computer to the Apple store a couple months ago because the USB port was broken and my computer would randomly shut off. Long story short, they fixed the USB port, deleted all my files, and reinstalled Leopard. The random shut off problem still persists. I have a feeling it has something to do with the graphics card as it seems to happen more frequently when I'm using graphics intensive applications (photoshop, illustrator, autocad through vmware fusion, watching videos on a second screen, etc).
    Has anyone had a similar problem? Should I just bring it to the Genius Bar again?

    I know this is a really old thread, and everyone's probably already bought new computers now. However, I'm still using my 2010 MacBook Pro and have been experiencing this very frustrating issue. However, I think I just found a way to open a finder window that prevents the shut down. In Finder>Preferences>General, under "New Finder windows show", I had "All my files" selected (BAD?), which probably was the cause, because setting that to "Desktop" instead has prevented shut downs, for now. Just thought I should share this tip, in case anyone else suffers from this annoying issue.  If anyone has a better tip or a real fix, please post a reply! There are still people, like myself, working on these older machines who would appreciate the info. THANKS!

  • Automatically shut-off and restart LabView program, and Auto-run at PC restart?

    Hello,
    I am trying to periodically, say every two weeks, to close and restart a LabView program (stand-alone executable) that is running on a PC. That PC has only the Labview run-time engine installed from the LV program installer.  I knew I can have Windows to do a "Scheduled task" to turn off and on my program, but I am trying to see if there is any alternatives?
    Second question is, when creating the LabView installer (so others can just do regular installation to run the executable), can I somehow include a function/option such that the installer will create a short-cut in the Windows Startup folder (in Windows XP, Start -> Program -> Startup).  What I want is that my LV program can start running automatically every time if the computer get restarted or power-cycled.
    Thanks for your help!
    Rgds,

    Hello southernbelle23,
    I'm so sorry to hear that you're having issues with your phone turning itself off! That must be incredibly inconvenient, especially when you really need to stay connected to something important. When did this begin? Do you have a Blackberry Z10? Have you attempted any troubleshooting yet with your device?

  • IPod continually shutting off and restarting

    Hi,
    recently I connected my ipod to my dad's laptop, but Windows automatically formatted it for some odd reason...
    anyways, ever since then, my ipod continually restarts over and over again until it's battery runs out of power. Has anyone had or experienced this problem? thanks!

    Hi,
    I do have the same problem. After three or four times of formatting still the same problem. After every recovery and synced all my stuff back my iPod starts over again and again.
    I also made a format with a windows computer and then go back to my MAC and restored it to Macintosh - but still the same
    My last try now I formatted the iPod with Windows and then synced it with the MAC *but leaving the iPod at the Windows format* _and my iPod works as used to be_....
    How can this be? Is there something wrong with the iPod 1.3 Software for Macintosh?
    Any hints or advices?
    Cheers

  • P755-S5120 Shut off and restart error 41

    This has been going on since about 2 months after purchase but is getting pretty bad now. It seems to have something to do with the power button. I removed the battery and slipped a piece of cardboard in the case opening above the battery and it is working fine right now. I have had no problems since doing this. Tosiba said to mail it in and bla la bla. I would rather not have to send it in if possible. Is it possible to just buy a new power switch? Where would I get one? Is ther a place to buy this?
    Thanks:

  • IMac G5 shuts off and won't restart

    Mac suddenly shuts off, and won't restart. Begins to boot, but shuts down again, sometimes after only a few seconds and before the chime, sometimes after 30 seconds, sometimes after several minutes. After many attempts, can sometimes get restarted. If I hold in the power button, I get a long tone, and then sometimes get a gray screen with Linux style text, and if I type mac-boot as prompted, it will usually reboot. Then its good for a day, or several days but eventually, will go off and I can't reliably get back to that gray screen with text.
    Not a techie, or Linux fluent...just got there by accident.
    Is there something I can do / reset / or replace to fix this? (Yes, I know the computer's old, but I'm not ready to go to the Intel chip and the expense of repurchasing all my software yet!!)
    Thanks for any help.

    I have the same 1.8 GHz iMAC G5, and had the same problem of the computer shutting off abruptly, and then not starting up - shutting down after the chime, or sometime during the start-up process (I don't know about the gray screen - never tried that). Eventually the computer just wouldn't turn on at all - now it's dead.
    I found this Apple support article recently, which shows how to diagnose a dead iMac G5, to see whether the computer has a bad power supply or a bad logic board. It might be helpful - in my case, it points to a bad logic board. Maybe both are bad (?). The procedure is for a dead computer, but maybe it would show something in your case too.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2173
    Good luck. I don't how much it would cost to put in a new logic board or power supply. I love the monitor on the G5 iMac (beautiful non-glossy), and I wish I knew of a way to use the monitor by itself.
