HT201401 My iphone 5 always shuts down between 20-10% battery life...It drives me crazy
My Iphone 5 always shuts down between 10-20% battery life...
In response to the other posts, I have not had any issue with the battery until the update to IOS7 and I have been using the phone for over a year. I am not suprised that the store would say the battery was bad, the phone thinks it is and shuts down. I do not know what plugging it in does for the phone, but after I plugged it in for just a few minutes it lasted for several hours. it was not that the battery was dead, but how the camera works with the system on IOS7. I do not know if taking a picture and saving it while using the flash cause a large draw etc, but whatever it is the system then thinks the battery is dead when it isnt. The hard part is once you apply power it will go away and there is no way to verify the issue. Even if it is weaker battery it should not just shut off with 20% power and then not work until power is applied. The battery is not dead as it has worked for several hours afterward. I have not used the camera in those cases for fear of losing my phone until I could get to a power cord. I am not aware of it happening twice in a row, but I will test it next time I am near a power cord after it dies. I would also concur, that this is a quick failure for the battery also as the phone is just over a year old.

IPhone reboots or shuts down or states low battery....2
I did yet another restore for month long symptom now. Once again I discover I lost my MMS camera icon in texting. My phone shuts down or reboot with low charge. I shut it off or leave it off only to turn it on again an hour later and have it show more than 70% charged.
I am still 5 months away before my contract expires and I plan to upgrade to the new generation of iPhone. I don't really have the money to take it in as I found out I am being laid off in five months as the company is leaving California for Arkansas.
Anyone else experiencing similar symptoms?My 3G will also spontaneously reboot. Typically, this seems to happen when the battery level goes below around 50%. The screen will go dark and I'll get the swirling circular graphic that indicates the phone is shutting down. Then the Apple logo comes on, and it seems to take a very long time before the phone is functional again. I took the phone to an Apple store in April. A "Genius" connected it to an iMac and ran, what I suppose, was Apple diagnostic software. She pronounced it OK, both phone and battery. She suggested I restore the phone. I did. No change. It stills crashes. It seems to happen when I'm using the phone, not just using an App. However, it has crashed when I've tried to use the camera also.

IPhone 5 shuts down with over 30% battery remaining
My iphone 5 is shutting down with over 30% battery remaining. It used not to shut down with still around 2% remaining but its increasing with every day now. For the last 5 days or so it is shutting down when showing even 30% remaining. When plugged in again, the battery is all drained down. Please someone give some valuable advice.
thanks
Ehtasham ShahidSounds like a definite hardware problem. You should still be in warranty, so head over to an Apple Genius Bar and they will either repair or replace it. A replacement will be much more likely, and it's free (if in warranty).
Good luck! -
HT201401 What causes the iPhone 4S to shut down to a black screen when it has full power?
What causes the iPhone 4S to shut down to a black screen when it has full power? I have cleared the open icons and it works for one day then shuts down again.
Software hiccup, glitch or maybe faulty battery. Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. See if this helps. If still problem that you think is serious enough to fix, all iPhone 4S have full Warranty. Make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

I can't start AE. Ae always shuts down. There is a Problem with the "AEDynamiclinkServer". I tried everything. But it doesn't work. How do I get AE back to work?
What "everything" have you tried?
What exact version number (down to the last decimal) is your AE?
What OS are you using?
What are your other system specs?
When did it work last? What happened between then and now?

Hi
The aps on my iphone are indesciminately shutting down - often whilst opening but not always. I have reset setting on phone, reloaded all via itunes and got a replacement phone so I think it must be something I've put on the phone???
How do I work out what's causing this?
Cheers! ClareDo a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data. -
IPhone 5 keeps shutting down and needs rebooting even when fully charged?
My iPhone 5 keeps shutting down when left unattended. This requires a full reboot and this doesn't always work either. Sometimes it requires a full reboot several times. Has anyone else had this problem?
I am having the same issue with my iPhone 5s. I travelled to the UK and my phone started having this issue over there (i have turned the cellular data off). I restored my phone last night but when it asked me to set it up again, i chose for it to set up from the back up i had stored on my Mac. The problem is still presistent even though it is shutting down less often. I am going to restore it to the factory settings tonight and see if I keep getting the same issue I will take it to a Mac Genius. However if it works i will let you know

My iPhone 4 keeps shutting down. The past 3 days it's taken at least 2hrs to come back on. It constantly has no service and tells me system restore is needed. Under diagnostics it shows panic.plist. I've had my phone a year and 3mths. I hear I need to go to apple to get a replace as this is a software issue. It isn't under warranty. Will they replace it or is it a waste of my time? I recently just got the iOS update and now my phone gets hot to the touch also. Please help. My upgrade isn't until summer of next year but I need a phone that works and will get signal!

Out of Warranty replacement for iPhone 4 is $149 US;
you will get the same model, color and capacity you have.
If your current iPhone was locked to a wireless provider,
the replacement will be locked to that same provider. -
IPhone 5 shuts down as soon as battery goes below 20%
I have had my iPhone 5 for about a year, still have until Jan 2015 on Verizon contract. I am running iOS 7.0.4. My battery drains relatively quickly, but usually lasts about 8-9 hours for me on a full charge. However, the phone just shuts down and shows the battery being dead as soon as I go below 20% on my battery level. When this happens varies a little bit, it has been as high as 25% and as low as 14%, but it usually right around 19 or 20. I will try to turn it back on, and it will show the "phone battery dead" icon.
It has been doing this for about 10 days now. I keep trying to do different things to conserve battery life with the hope that this problem will go away, but it hasn't. I keep my phone in a thick case and have never dropped, submerged or otherwise damaged it.
Any advice for what I should do? Thank you for the help.I have had my iPhone 5 for about a year, still have until Jan 2015 on Verizon contract. I am running iOS 7.0.4.

Iphone 3gs keep shutting down apps
Why does my iphone 3gs keep shutting down apps when I'm in the middle of using them? The battery is holding a charge and iTunes says my software is up-to-date, so I don't understand why this is happening! It is really frustrating when I'm trying to order something online and Safari keeps shutting down!
Thanks to anyone who can help me!Hi Rebecca,
I have looked on google for a fix to the same issue.
Apple has been aware of this issue dating back past 2008 but they have not released a fix.
Apparently the only way to fix it is to "do it yourself" everytime, by resetting your iphone to factory settings. And reinstalling your applications again.
I just brought an iPhone 4 in New Zealand, and I have only 9 applications on my phone. So it can't be an issue of 'too many' apps.
Sorry this doesn't help. The balls in Apples hands here. -

if your iphone 3gs just shuts down when something went wrong with your hardware is there any possible way to get all pictures or other important stuff onto itunes?
What happened to the phone. Did it just go black? Did you try to plug it into Itunes and see if it can be seen or throw it on the charger. You can still try the reset procedure listed in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 and see if the phone turns back on.
The only way to get things back is to have backed them up ahead of time. -
Iphone 4 / 4s shuts down frequently from itself
My girl-friend has an iphone 4 and since a few weeks it shuts down frequently spontaneous.
Replaced the battery and totally renewed the IOS. No succes. While doing this, my iphone 4 also shut down spontaneous!
Also replaced the battery and replaced the IOS. No succes. 2 Friends of mine have exactly the same problems with their iphone 4S.
Is there a wifi-virus in Nijmegen, The Netherlands??? Are there more people with this problem??
If shut down, it can be started up again by doing a reset. Our iphones are not reliable anymore.....After I removed Facebook and FB messenger, my iphone problems vanished. No spontaneous shutdowns anymore.
My girl-friend first removed FB messenger with no succes. After removing Facebook, she also is free of problems.
