HT4528 iPhone 5 turning off for no reason

My iPhone 5 has been turning off as if it died at random battery percentages.  Today it happened at 30% - it just shut down and said it needed a charger, when I plugged it in it was right at 30%.  This is screwing up tracking my runs with Nike+.  I know this is something that many people are having problems with.  Is there a solution or is the only answer just get a new phone so Apple can get more money?  Seriously considering switching to Android if this is not fixable.

Try a reset first. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Home button at the same time. Wait until the phone shuts off and release. It will restart.
If that doesn't work, you should restore it using iTunes.
Beyond that, it would probably be a hardware issue and you will need to have it serviced.

  • IPhone 3GS turning off for no reason

    My iphone 3GS is about a year old, is running 4.1 and in the last week has started turning itself off despite the battery still being about half full. Has anyone else had this issue, and if so is there a fix?
    Thanks

  • Iphone keeps turning off for no reason

    My iphone seems to shut off randomly.  It acts like the battery is low. I have to plug it in to get it to turn back on.

    Sounds like a hardware problem with the battery or something else.
    Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • My ipod turns off for no reason and the battery is fully charged

    I've had my ipod for a week and have had nothing but problems with it! It turns off for no reason while listening to music and the battery is fully charged. It even does it in the car while connected to the fm transmitter/charger. Please help! Also I bought a movie from itunes and I can hear the movie playing but I can't see it play. Thanks for your help!

    I've had my ipod Photo for almost a year and just had the same thing happen for the first time - it just stopped, fully charged, while playing. And, it froze up in the sleep mode. I followed the instructions to reset it ( toggling the Hold Switch on and off) but nothing happened on the first 3 tries. I let it sit for about 15 minutes while searching in the Help & Apple Discussions forum and, just now tried toggling the Hold Switch again and noticed before doing so, that it had shut off. I toggled the Hold Switch to the locked position (Hold) then to the unlocked position and it came back on!
    I'm sorry I can't tell you why it happens. If anyone knows, I'd like to know, too.

  • 8820 Turns off for no reason

    My 8820 turns off for no reason. The only way I can get it to turn back on is by taking the battery out.  Has anyone else encountered this problem?  What did you do?

    I think a wipe with JL-cmder with a reloading the OS fresh would be in order...

  • Service turn off for no reason

    My service was turned off for no reason.  When I call to find out why my service was out they first said nonpayment.  I am not behind on my payments.  The person on the phone check and sure enough I am current with my account.  I now have to wait two more days for some one to contact me about getting my service turned back on.  They have been off since Monday night night.  Really what kind of service is this.  Do I not count as a customer?  I wonder how many people this has happen to.  I really think its time to change providers.  I would like to go with the company that has the Hopper. 

    Good Morning,

  • 3gs phone turns off for no reason

    iPhone turns off for no apparent reason. Battery is at full capacity and I just synced it. I have the latest 4.3.3 software. Any ideas? My girlfriend has the same issues and we use different computers and accounts to sync our iPhones. We've had the phones for a little over 2 years now.

    Thanks to everyone who has had input into this problem for me. I now have my phone working again. What did I do...?
    1st I got two of my smarter younger brothers to help and they proceeded to try a variety of things including:-
    a) swapping batteries from their phone with mine, which didn't work
    b)swapping SIM cards with mine, which also didn't work but did allow us to have a longer play around with my phone as it didn't turn off when a different SIM was in the phone
    What worked? We decided to "Restore factory settings" on my phone. My phone doesn't remove Contacts, Calendar entries and one other personal item which I can't recall when you use this function but we still saved my contacts to one of my brothers SIMs and also moved a number of photos, recordings, and video over to my memory card.
    Once this was done I put my SIM back in then restored the factory settings. There was just enough time to get to this function, just note that if you do this function you may need to have your "Security Code" handy.
    I don't think that there is any conspiracy with the phone companies (I'm with Virgin Mobile), but what I think happened was that my Brother in Law sent me a Xmas message that had some inbuilt functionality (packet data??) that my phone needed to download to view it. I think this was the cause because when my brother's SIM was in my phone I received a msg on my phone that read "Unable to receive msg from..." and I select "OK" which I think rejected it.
    Hope this help someone out in the future? Hope that I haven't been to vague. Let me know if you would like any more info.
    Cheers, and I hope all get their phones working again.

  • Phone turns off for no reason! Help!

    Hi
    I've got a Nokia 6300 phone. For some reason, all of a sudden, its been turning its self off for no reason. When i switch my phone on, it starts up like normal, but then a letter 'G' in a box appears in the top left hand corner of the screen, along with a yellow envelope which rotates and turns into a paperclip. Then the screen turns white and the phone turns itself off. This seems to happen everytime i turn my phone on now, i have restored the factory setting, but this has not solved the problem. Can anybody help??? cheers.

  • My internet sound will turn off for no reason...

    There are times I can play music on youtube for hours and be fine and other times the sound will just cut off for no reason. This happens whether the computer is plugged in or not. When I reboot the computer the sound will usually start working again but today the sound cut off again after just a few seconds. I'm using firefox and vista. Could it be an issue with one of those?

  • My iPhone 4S just turned off for no reason and won't turn back on?

    My iPhone 4S just died for no apparent reason and now it will not turn back on. It was at about 90% battery at the time because I had just recently charged it so I don't think it died because of low battery. I have tried plugging it into outlets and computers/iTunes and nothing seems to work. I also can't do the trick involving holding down the power and home button because my power button has been jammed for over a year now. My iPhone is about 2 years old and I have never had this problem before. Earlier today it died for no reason but when I plugged it in, it turned on with no problem.
    Is there anything I can do about this? Also, I am due for a phone upgrade in about 3 weeks. I was planning on getting the 5S. Is there any way that I would be able to get the upgrade several weeks early if my phone is broken?

    Hi there 203nancyc,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.

    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 LCIsand 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.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • Okay so my iPhone randomly shut off for NO reason at all. At 30% and everything. Now it won't turn on, won't charge, and won't be recognized on the computer. Help me?

    I was cleaning, and had replied to a message before setting it down. I go back to check it about ten minutes later, and its just off. It will not turn on for anything, won't be recognized, and won't recognize the charger. Idk what to do. Help me?

    If the battery is completely dead it may take some time before there is enough power in the battery to display even the rudimentary battery dead icon. Leave it charge over night. Still dead in the morning, take it to an Apple Store.

  • My iPhone 5 keeps turning off for no reason

    I have not dropped it, it will just be sitting on my desk and turn off, and then I have to hold the power button and home button to get it turn tun back on after a few minutes. It has not gotten wet, and I have not done anything to the iOS at all.  any ideas?

    Connect device to itunes and hold power and home together
    When it restarts, immediately release home key
    Keep holding the power button for 3 secs
    Without releasing power, hold home too for 10 secs
    Then release power but dont release home
    Keep holding it for about 12 secs(until you hear device detection sound)
    Your phone is in DFU mode now
    Click restore in itunes and see if it works
    If backup is not possible, you will lose all data
