I have an iPhone 5 that constantly shuts off after 5-10 minutes..

My iPhone 5, purchased on Amazon, used, constantly shuts off after 5-10 minutes of uptime right after a color fade. I got it to stay on but I just can't reboot it otherwise it'll happen again. But if I don't reboot it, my battery percentage will not update. I'm not sure if it's water damage or just a bad battery. I'm afraid to leave it charging overnight since the battery percentage doesn't budge and it'll just continue charging.

You should get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store and see if the battery needs to be replaced.
Did you check the moisture indicators to see if the device did get damaged by liquid?

  • IPad Personal Hotspot antenna shuts off after a few minutes of non-use. This happens in both Verizon 3G and LTE areas. Turning off LTE does not help. Turning Personal Hotspot off and then on works. Does this happen on Mini and Retina?

    iPad--third generation shuts off antenna/hotspot after a few minutes of non-use.

    Does Apple have antenna on a timer so it shuts off after a few minutes?
    Does this happen on Mini and Retina as well?

    Fixed!
    Two things together have restored connectivity.
    1.  I changed the name under Settings > General > About > Name from My Name's iPad to iPad of My Name.  I read somewhere that iOS 7.0.1 or 7.0.2 (I forget which) sometimes had issues with apostrophes here.  Easy enough to test.
    2.  I then reset (again) the APN settings under Settings > Cellular Data > APN Settings > Personal Hotspot and reentered our provider's info (APN, Username, Password) there.
    I don't know WHY it worked, but the personal hotspot is now happily sharing (again) internet connectivity with my MacBook Pro.

  • Black macbook gets to spinning gear and shuts off after almost a minute

    Hello All,
    this is my first post as it is the first time i haven't found specific answers elsewhere.
    My Macbook will go to the grey screen with logo and gear for 30 seconds and i have tried the following.
    I have tried to reset the ram with the command function i forget the keys like p r or something, and i finally got the bong noise.
    this still didnt help so i tried to get into safe after this noise with the left shift key, and once i let go at the gear, it still shut down after around half a minute 45 seconds.
    I then booted into verbose to see what was really causing this shut down after this.
    this was the last couple of lines it froze up on before shutting down.
    [HCIController][configurePM] power parent ready after 1 tries
    [AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement: initialization complete
    disk0s2: I/0 error.
    disk0s2: I/0 error.
    syncing disks... killing all processes
    continuing
    done
    CPU halted
    it usually freezes on the line disk0s2:I/0 error for about a mintue, and once the last run from the second I/0 error to the CPU halted rolls onscreen it is around 3 seconds before it shuts down.
    For the last i dont know 3 weeks i have gotten every once in a while these messages saying my startup disk was full, even though i had 37 gigs left on the hard drive.
    the reason i got here was because i was trying to copy some files from my compact flash recorder to my computer for listening and maybe 10 of the 15 copied and said the rest could not be transferred because of the disk being full. At this point i decided to restart, and it would not come back to desktop. ANY HELP anyone?
    thank you so much

    Hi,
    I'm not really an expert at anything like this, but from the looks of things, it can read the hard disk up until a certain point and then gets an input/output error, can't read the hard disks and just shuts down. If you have a Boot Camp partition, try booting that, it helped me recover some stuff. Or if you have a firewire cable and a computer with a firewire port, connect the two together and hold T when booting up your Mac. If the other computer is a PC w/ Windows, you may have to install HFS drivers like MacDrive (there is a trial, google it), and see if you can copy off any of your files. You could also try an archive and install by booting up from the Mac OS CD that either came with your computer, or if you bought an upgrade disc. If that fails, then your disk is probably dead. If your Mac is still under warranty, try taking it to an Apple Store / authorised service centre etc, some place they will fix it. However, if your Mac is booting up to a certain point, it could be dead software not hardware.

I waited a few minutes tried pressing the home button nothing,tried reseting it and again nothing its currently on the charger and I'm just going to give it a litttle time before trying to reset again. Thanks for your time

    Hello there, John.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some good steps for troubleshooting the issue you're describing:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Display shows a white screen
    After finishing a call the display remains black
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, remove it from the case.
    If there is a protective or antiglare film on the display, remove the film.
    Clean the screen, especially around the receiver, with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Internet shuts off after a few minutes requiring wireless network reset on windows 8.1

    I recently upgraded from windows eight to windows 8.1 I do not know if this has anything to do with anything I have a 64 bit OS. My Internet goes off by itself every 5 minutes even though my wireless icon at the lower right of the screen still shows connected
    I had an error message in the last event in it said that might DHCP settings were out of range. I get my internet at my house through a wireless portable hotspot through my smart phone. But i haven't ever had any problems before and i only have this problem
    on this network. If i turn airplane mode on and reset my network card, the internet will come back to life but soon die. i don't experience this problem while on a different network or if i'm on WiFi. This s really annoying please help

    Had exact same problem. Rang Apple support and various apple repairers. All of them said in effect, too bad, you'll have to lose everything since your last backup. It's a work phone with very important stuff on it and the latest backup was on a computer that had a virus. Convergence of crap :/
    Happened to talk to a friend who said to try replacing the battery. Did that. Problem fixed. All data saved.
    To all Apple support people: rather than say 'once it's in recovery mode you lose all data' try saying 'replace your battery and see if that works first'!!!!

    I have an iphone that is locked to orange and have been waiting over 50 days now for it to be unlocked and keep getting fobbed off with promises to sort it out. I dont know how many calls have been made and am getting really frustrated now. Does anyone know how apple are involved with the unlock as  im jst not getting any answers from orange and they just keep saying they dont know why its takng so long

    If it is Orange Uk then no surprises
    They locked it originally and it is their gift to unlock ....usually in their own time.

  • IPhone 5S now shutting off display, even when apps are running?

    Hi guys,
    I've had my iPhone 5S since it released (and a 4S before that since its release), and just today I noticed that my iPhone 5S is automatically shutting off its screen after a handful of minutes when plugged in and charging.
    My iPhones have never done this before. I have an alarm clock app, and leave that running 100% of the time when my phone is plugged in since it shows a clock on the display, and I prefer that to a blank, powered-off screen. However, just this morning I noticed that it shut off overnight (never did that before), and now -- even when I'm watching it to see if anything happens, it shuts off.
    Something weird did happen this morning though: when my phone alarm woke me up, I noticed my phone was just randomly loading apps, regardless of my input. I shut it off and turned it on again, and then it stopped doing that. This likely has something to do with the new phone display issue.
    I can't find a specific setting on the phone or anything that would cause it to do this. Any ideas? I would greatly appreciate it!

    Hi, no idea what you tried, but...
    Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem  & the Wakeup/Startup right after that for clues.

  • Constantly shuts off while playing music

    My 6th generation nano constantly shuts off while I am running and listening to music.  I have tried pressing the sleep button and turning off the shake to shuffle.  Please help!!

    This is usually a sign that your headphones are not plugged all the way in.  Make sure the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano.

    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?

    My iPhone 3Gs randomly shutting off at any given moment. I could be in the middle of a text, a call, or doing some games and it'll just shut off.
    Now here's the unique part. When I go to turn it back on, the apple loading screen pops up but it takes somewhere from 3-5 minutes for it to boot up. Then the lock screen with the time and whatnot shows up. From this point on, my iPhone has a chance to shut itself back down and I have to repeat the process over and over again. Most of the time the lock screen flashes and then goes straight to black (shut down) but sometimes I can make it a few menus before it shuts itself down.
    The only way to keep the iPhone on is to plug it into a charger of any sort. I'm fairly certain it isn't a battery charge issue because this happens at any % of power and sometimes my iPhone can use up all of its charge and not have this happen while other times I can be at 90-100% and it could randomly shut itself down. What can I do in this situation if some has some solution to this problem please let me know on [email protected] Thanks!

    Not sure if this Term is Relevant towards an iPhone but, my iPhone won't Post unless if it's plugged into a Charger.
