Iphone 3GS turns off and goes dead after i make or receive a call.

Hi i bought a Iphone 3Gs unlocked from a Grainger Games store in liverpool two days ago. I live in Ireland so returning would be hard but possible. I have charged the phone for 9 hours and it said 100 % charge but any time i make or receive a call it powers off and wont turn on until i charge it again. When i do charge it, it goes back to saying the percentage it was before it turned off .
Is there a way to fix this problem? Does it need a new battery or is it a problem with the phones hardware?
I would rather not have to return it but if i have to i will .
Can anyone help with this please.
Thanks.

It needs a new battery.

  • My Iphone 3GS turning off and on by itself...

    Suddenly my Iphone 3GS turned off and after 3 minutes it turns on again, and so on.The battery is fully charged. I've tried to reset it but still won't work, I've switched it off and on again after sometime and still won't work. Any advice/help please.

    this is happening to my phone, i changed the battery, i tryed the logic board in another phone and it worked fine, there dosnt seem to be much else in there, still cant get it going.

  • HT1430 my iphone 3gs turned off and on abruptly?

    my iphone 3gs turned off and on abruptly?

    Try holding down the Sleep/Wake button and Home button at the same time,
    Continue to hold both down until you see the Apple Logo on the screen. Once you see the Apple Logo on the screen let go of both buttons and allow the iPhone to reset.
    Hope this helps

  • Why does my iPhone 3GS turn off and on after few minutes

    My iphone 3 GS has been turned off for a week. Now when I use it it turns off and on (by itself) every few minutes.

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Restart / Reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Phone On...
    If that does not help... See Here:
    Backing up, Updating and Restoring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step... Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • My iphone 3gs turns off frequency by itself after i updated to 4.3.1

    My problem is after I updated my iphone 3gs to 4.3 version it turns off automatically within 2.3 minutes even with full battery and I have to press home and power key to turn it on. But weird thing is that if I use my iphone to play games or listen to music or charge then the iphone won’t turn it off. I tried reset, recover and it won’t work .I also tried to downgrade but I don’t have a backup. Can anyone help?

    I don't know what you mean by "recover" and you can't downgrade the iOS. You need to do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide:
    Reset phone
    Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
    Restore phone in iTunes as new, without using a backup
    If restoring as new doesn't help, you had a hardware failure during the update.

  • My iphone 3gs turned off and wont turn on or connect to itunes. its fully charged, and told me to reactivate it, but it wont connect. what do i do?

    what do i do?

    I have the same problem.  My iPhone 3GS was working just fine until I upgraded the OS to 5.0.1 a couple of days ago. When it complained about SIM card, I got that replaced and still the problem persisted. I tried to activate the Phone using my Wi-Fi and that also did not work.  The phone has become unusable now.
    When I contacted the CSR, he says that my phone already would have broken and that is why the upgrade did not go through which is not a fact after seeing these postings.
    Apple, instead of finding a solution to this, recommend buying another equipment.  Is there a way to revert back to older OS?

  • HT4061 Hi my iPhone just turned off and is dead what schould I do?

    My phone turned black and seems to have no power but was charged. I can't turn it on and I can't charge it. Just dead can you help.?

    hard reset:
    hold down the home button and the power button at the same time until you see an apple.

  • My iphone 4 turned off and will not turn back on. i know it is not dead, how do i fix it.

    my iphone 4 turned off and will not turn back on. i know it is not dead, how do i fix it.

    Charge with the mains charger for 15 minutes, then disconnect and hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • My iphone 4s turns off and restarts after a few seconds or minutes to establish a FaceTime call. I've tried "Restore iPhone" but the same thing keeps happening. Any solution?

    My iphone 4s turns off and restarts itself a few seconds or minutes after when I establish a FaceTime call. I've tried "Restore iPhone" from iTunes but the same thing keeps happening. Any solution?

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Also, if this only happens with one Wi-Fi network, power cycle that Wi-Fi router.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order.

  • IPhone 3gs turns off while having 60-80% battery

    hello, iphone 3gs turns off while there is enough battery to be consumed. Round about 60 to 80 percent battery is more enough to keep alive an iphone for a whole day long. what suggestion you recommend, help asap......

    You could try to disconnect and after a few minutes reconnect the battery. That theoretically resets the phone BIOS and is supposed to help regarding the reboot issue (see post by NIKKOH007) http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2471090&start=2055&tstart=30
    Or replace the battery altogether with a newer, iOS 4 compatible battery. At iFixit.com they have come to the conclusion that not all batteries in the 3GS are necessarily iOS4.x compatible or a battery defect may be exposed after updating.

  • My iPhone 3GS turned off suddenly

    My iPhone 3GS turned off suddenly and when i switched it on it give me that there is no battery then when i charge it i fined that the battery between 60% to 30% i have tried to restore it but the same problem came out
    i bought my iPhone 3GS since Apr 2010

    This sounds like the same problem i'm having.  I have to upgrade my os to most current.  Really don't want to do a restore.  I've read another post from someone who's problem seemed the same as mine and it was actually the battery.  After having battery replaced, it worked fine.  Whatever the problem actually is, I hope it won't cost a lot to fix. 

  • Mac book pro, Turns off and goes under protection especially with an External monitor on.

    Mac book pro,
    Turns off and goes under protection, sometimes without any specific motivation, but most of the time when an External monitor is pluged-in.
    I use it when I work with final cut pro, and this problem it's becoming huge and changing my workplans....
    It can turns off also 10 times in two hours.
    In many forums I read that the CPU temp could be the problem, but I've checked it and It's always around 62°-68°....
    In some others they say that the new RAM could be the problem too.
    Is anybody able to help me? (Underneath you can check the Panic Report and my mac informations)

  • My iphone 5c turned off and won't turn back on. What do I do?

    My iphone 5c turned off and won't turn back on. What do I do?

    Try resetting the device: Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). If the Apple appears, the reset is in progress, and the Slide to Unlock screen will display shortly.
    Make sure the battery is charged. If you think it may not be charged, then plug the device into the charger and try resetting after 5 minutes or so.

  • My iphone 4 turns off and on when ever i try to reboot and turn off each and every 5 second?

    hi there,
                my iphone 4 turns off and on in each and every 5 seconds when ever i try to reboot and turn off. i was just trying to get ridge of this things. so culd u help me plz !!!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

    my iphone keeps turning off and powers itself again

    Hello dantecruso,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    There are some troubleshooting steps I'd like you to follow in the article below in order to resolve this issue you're experiencing.
    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 LCIs and 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.
