IPhone 3GS randomly turns itself on and off, even when charging

My iPhone 3GS 8GB keeps turning itself on and off randomly like every 5 minutes. It does this even when charging. I've had my phone for a year and haven't had any real problems out of it until now. It died on me last night so I plugged it into my charger. It came on then 5 mins later went off by itself and turned back on. It did this all night. I finally unplugged it to see if that had something to do with it, but it didn't. Anyone have any insight on this or ideas on how to fix this? I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks!

my does the same mate i have tried everything

    Is your battery very run down?  Try charging it for hours (or overnight).

  • My iPhone is continually turning itself on and off, how do I solve?

    It's turned itself off and then when I tried to turn it back on it continually turns itself n and off! How do I solve it?

    Restore the phone in iTunes, first using a backup, and if needed as a new iPhone without using a backup.  If this still happens after restoring as new, there is a hardware problem than needs evaluation by Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country.

  • IPhone Display turning itself on and off

    Hey Guys,
    I'm totally in love with my iPhone 3G but since I got it replaced by Apple (warranty), I discovered that in sleep mode the display randomly turns itself on and off again.
    "On" in this case does not mean displaying any content nor the lockscreen, but mysterious black stripes that run vertical.
    This occurs every few minutes and is really annoying me.
    I tried to completely erase all content and set it up as a new iPhone but the stripes are still there (on 3.1.2) as they were on 3.1.0.
    Is there any solution for this or do I have to call Apple Support again?
    Greets,
    Stefan

    If a Restore didn't fix it, it's a hardware problem - contact Apple.

  • My iphone 3gs randomly started to turn itself on and off today and it won't stop like it is continuously doing this. I haven't dropped it or anything it just randomly started doing it. I put it in rice just in case it got water on it. Help! ?

    My iphone 3gs randomly started to turn itself on and off today and it won't stop like it is continuously doing this. I haven't dropped it or anything it just randomly started doing it. I put it in rice just in case it got water on it. Help! ? My phone won't even be a year old until next month and I was really wanting it to last me for 2 years. :/ What should I do?

    Took my phone to the Apple store this week and they told me it was a hardware/screen malfunction. They replaced the screen for free since it was under warranty. Now it works fine again!

  • Help! iPhone freezing, not responding, and turning itself on and off randomly.

    Over the last few days, my iPhone has been going crazy.  It all started when I turned on my phone one morning, and the ringer did not work.  It told me that headphones were in when I tried to turn the volume up.  Later in the day, I plugged my iPhone into my iHome.  It then "died" and would not turn on.  I tried everything (hard reboot, dfu mode, plugging in wall and computer, etc.) and nothing would turn it on.  The next day, I tried to turn it on, and to my surprise, it loaded the "low battery" icon.  i plugged it in, and it turned on.  It then randomly shut off ten minutes later.  It would not turn on, but it allowed me to put it into dfu mode.  I downloaded the os and attempted to restore the iPhone.  It shut itself off several times and took many attempts until I finally got it restored.  Now, it has been turning itself on and off.  I got it to turn on, and I used it until it froze.  It shut itself off and reboot.  It has continued to do this over and over again.  I am concerned because my iPhone is out of warranty, and I live far away from anywhere where I can get it fixed.  I have no idea what happened to my phone as I did not drop it or expose it to water.  Is there any way to fix this?  Is there a way to find what part may be broken?  If not, what is the cheapest and fastest method of fixing this and is anyone else having the same problems?  My phone is currently unusable because I can not turn it on (it only turns on randomly) and it freezes and shuts off a few minutes after it turns on.

    Does it power back on by itself straight after turning off? If so I would probably suggest that either the charging port is faulty or maybe it is partially blocked with debris causing a possible short circuit across the pins. Try giving it a clean out first with something none metallic and might just do the trick.

  • My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time for no reason every time I put it on silent or just get a Facebook message I have a broken sleep/power button anyone know how to fix this problem?

    My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time the power/sleep button dosent work so it's quiet annoying having to plug it in all the time dose anyone have a fix for this?

    The "fix" is to get the phone repaired.  There's no magic solution for a broken phone.
    Bring your phone ant $149 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement, or find a 3rd party repair shop near you.

  • My iphone 5 keeps switching itself on and off and screen different colours?

    My iphone 5 keeps switching itself on and off randomly, the screen has also gone a green and red colour prior to it turning itself off and sometimes will not come back on unless re-set? help?!

    If you already tried a restore to factory settings, it looks like a hardware issue to me.
    I would take it to an Apple Store for replacement.

  • My i phone 3gs keeps turming itself on and off will this happen again even if they replace it

    My iPhone 3gs is only about 2 weeks old and we encountered this problem where it keeps turning itself on and off. We restored the phone and it lasted for about a week before it started happening again. My concern is that even if i send my phone in to have it replaced that it will just happen again with my next phone. If it is going to keep happening id like to know so i can just get a different phone and save myself a lot of hassle and frustration.

    As far as I know, none of the users on this forum can see in to the future, so your question cannot be answered.

  • How do I stop my iPod from turning itself on and off??

    My button on my IPod has been broken for a while now but that's fine. But just recently my iPod started turning itself on and off as if I'm pressing the lock button. This problem is VERY annoying. If anyone knows how to fix this PLEASE help.

    Do you have a case on it that covers the power button?
    If not, the power button stuck down.
