my 3gs keeps switching off during calls

Could be faulty battery. Genius at Apple Store can perform battery diagnostic test, which takes less than 5 minutes. Make appointment.

  • Iphone 3gs keeps switching off during phone call showing apple logo

    My iphone 3gs keeps switching of during phone calls. The apple logo appears and I have to wait until it switches itself back on, this happens without my help, any ideas please

    Try restoring the iPhone. If a normal restore doesn't work, try setting it up as a new device.

  • Iphone 4 switchs off during call

    i am having this problem since 2 month earlier when the batt level would drop to 50 the  iphone used to get switched off during call.. i upgraded the phone to ios5.1 after that two monthsf it was fine but past three days it gets swicthed off during call as well as while surfing . even when the battery level is 100 % dont why this is happening???

    First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data, but it can clear some glitches after installing new software or apps.
    If this does not help, set it up as new device, if necessary without using the latest backup, in case it contains corrupt files which are causing your problem.

  • 5530 XM - Phone SWITCHES OFF during calls

    Hey all,
    Got a couple of problems with my 5530 XM so any advice/suggestions, please let me know!
    1) Phone SWITCHES OFF when I: press the green button to receive the call/ make a call
                  -I noticed that it switches off when I place it near my ear, and not really when I use the speakerphone (are the sensors the problem?)
    2) When I minimize my music player (when playing music) there used to be a controller (to choose play, next etc.) on the background of my home screen. ITS NOT THERE ANYMORE!
    Would greatlly appreciate anyone's expertise on these (I think common) issues.
    Cheers!

  • Phone switches off during calls

    Hey any one know why my 3gs cuts calls off and goes to the apple symbol and the comes back on. There seems to be no set call time that this happens at, some times 3 mins sometimes 10. This seems to have started happening since i updated to ios4.

    Chaps,

    Rebooting during phone calls is a BIG issue within the 3GS environment, with mixed degrees of success and failure when trying own/home fixes or getting Apple on the case. At the time of writing Apple have yet to formally acknowledge there's an issue, regardless of the feedback, this forum, and the number of people that have called them up or seen their engineers.

  • Mike and/or speaker kept switching off during phone calls

    I just returned my 4s after less than 24 hours and have gone back to my 3 because teh mike and/or speaker kept switching off during calls using the handset, the apple headset and my blueant bluetooth, they could not replace it today so I returned it and may repurchase at a latter date if this is not at common problem... has anyone else had this problem?

    KBurd,
    If the proximity sensor is covered by a case, your hand, or by being close to your face, the screen should go dark and unresponsive, but the call should not be disconnected.
    Is there anything covering the proximity sensor? It is located between the earpiece and the top edge.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • HT201412 My 3 week old iPhone 4S switched off during a call and won't switch back on. Any suggestions??

    Sounds like a dead battery.  Try plugging it into a charger.

  • Why does my iPhone 3GS keep powering off into a black screen with what looks like a barcode displayed?

    My iPhone 3GS keeps powering off at any point when between 5 and 50% battery remains.
    I could be in the middle of texting, receiving a call or using an app when all of a sudden the screen goes black and very faint randomly distributed lines are visible from the top of the screen to the bottom. The display looks a little like a barcode. I am then unable to restart the phone without plugging it into a power supply. I've looked on the Internet and cannot find a similair case.
    It is so frustrating and I am continually thinking it will crash at any point.
    Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks

    When the "white symbol" is the white Apple logo, it is starting up....
    Can take some time.

  • 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.

  • Can I lock my 6th generation ipod nano whilst listening to it as it keeps switching off if i knock the sleep button

    can I lock my 6th generation ipod nano whilst listening to it as it keeps switching off if i knock the sleep button?

      Okay, I apologize, belay my last posting :/
      This evening after a whole day of working fine (again), I had the same problem, but this time my idea couldn't fix it.  One point I'd like to make is to NOT listen to your ears when troubshooting your ipod.  When your ipod is turning off, try tuning into the radio.  Mine tells me that it isn't recognizing my earbuds and won't even turn on the radio.  I'm going to try to clean the connection out, but really?  This is freakin' new, Apple people!  Maybe its a way for the company to make you purchase new accessories for the ipod they replaced with the recall :/

  • N9 keep switching off on its own

    my N9 does not power on it keeps switching off on its own....can anyone assist?

    So it isn't the sim and not the boot loop.  Have you tried charging using any source just to make sure that isn't the charger? Failing that you might have to consider a hard reset. 

  • My 3GS keeps switching between iPhone speaker and Dock connector and I don't know how to keep it on iPhone speaker

    My 3GS keeps switching between iPhone speaker and Dock connector and I don't know how to keep it on iPhone speaker so I can listen to my music and games.  Is it hardware or software problem?

    I was told by a friend that sometimes when you use a 3rd party charger that the connectors are not the same size and so it can affect the sensors in the phone and make it seem like it is in a docking station and so changes the output for dock speakers.  With that said, I didn't take my pohone in to be serviced at the appple store because it was a 3GS and over 2 years old and so not covered by any service plan.  Since then my phone is back to normal and I can use my headphones and listen with the speakers on the phone.  I stoped using the suspected cheap 3rd party charger and maybe that's what did it, but not sure if it was or wasn't the cause of my problem.  I'm glad that my phone is better I was kinda holding out for the Iphone 5 when i comes out later and hope my phone lasted until then.
