My iphone 3gs turns off by itself and sometimes doesn't turn on

My iphone 3gs sometimes just turns off... The screen would go white for a second and than it shuts off. Sometimes i can just press every button and it won't change anything so i think my phone is broken but than it just comes magicly on. It doesn't matter if is plugged in or not it just happens randomly and usually when it happens once it happens another few times when i turn it back on and after i turn it back on i have to be really carefull because a little hit on the back side and it wpuld turn off again. Also a month or so ago my phone fell and half of the screen is cracked.
I got the phone from y so it was used but i don't think she had any problems with it.
Pleaseee heeelppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It sounds to me like you may have a loose connection inside the phone, battery connector or sleep/wake switch. I say this because you mention that tapping the phone on the back seems to cause it to shut down. I would recommend taking it to Apple or a trustworthy repair shop and have them look it over.

IPhone 3GS turns off by itself and then needs restored.

I've had this phone sitting around in my desk for a good two years at least because of this problem so I don't think there's a warranty anymore. It turns itself off within a minute of me turning it on and when it's on it says that it needs restored. I've restored it a hundred times now. It stays on while it's restoring but it turns off when it's done and I have to start the whole process over again. I've read through a lot of threads but nobody seems to have the same problem, or at least they don't mention it needing restored. Could this be the power button? It looks a little bit sunken in.

iphone 5 turns off by itself and then turns on

Mine it's the same! Did you solve this already? Right before it turns off, it has a fade away screen or shows stripes! Then automatically turns back on! Now this problem happens more often!
I've reboot the iphone and restore it but still does the same.
How can I resolve this please?
Thanks!

I have a US iPhone and I am in the UK, I had a problem with the battery and got it replaced in a UK Apple store but then I start having a shut down and reboot ...when I called the customer service they said we can't give the UK options since it is a US product!! And that I have to visit one of their stores to get it either repaired or replaced !!!so, is there a possibility to get it replaced in the UK?

Iphone 3Gs turns off by itself.

I have an iphone 3Gs. It recently started turning off by itself. I could be listening to music, making a call, on the interenet, or whatever. It turns off with the charger in or out. Most of the time it turns back on right after. Sometimes i will have to maually turn it on. It takes almost 3 minutes to turn back on. Then it will stay on from anywhere between 3 and 30 minutes before it turns back off. It also turns off sometimes when it is shook. Thats only somethimes though. I really need a way to fix this. Please if anyone has any ideas, post them here. Thank you

I'm having the EXACT same problem--and it's been recent--it never used to do this! I'm usually out running with iTunes and RunKeeper both running, and...it just shuts off. But usually when I try and restart it, nothing happens, though a few times it will restart and then shut down again.Once it happens my run is shot.
Wouldn't surprise me to learn that this is from a recent IOS patch...maybe to force us to upgrade...wouldn't be the first time that a company has done something like this, and Apple releasing IOS 6 with Apple Maps just goes to show that Apple has some real shortcomings since Steve died.

My iPhone suddenly turned off by itself and it won't turn back on, what to do?

So I was just texting with my iPhone (with 35% battery life) earlier and when I check my phone again 5 mins later, it completely turned off. So, I tried holding the sleep/lock botton on top + the Home button (for more than 10 sec) and it won't turn on.
So I tried plugging my iPhone to the wall-adapter charger and it turned on (with a 100% battery life?), but seems like all my settings have been resetted and I was advised to connect with iTunes. Then I unplugged my iPhone and plug it onto my computer to sync. I waited, the apple logo comes up and then it turns off again, logo comes up and turns off again (constantly doing that and it's not going anywhere).
Did my whole iPhone battery just died or something? I repeated the process and whenever I unplug the phone from the wall-charger, my phone completely turns off. When I plug it with my usb-to-computer, the apple logo comes up and goes. Any one can help?

Connect iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to respond.

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

My iphone turned off by itself and it doesn't turn on, What should i do????

IIf the battery was completely drained it might take some time before the phone will respond. Wait at least 30 minutes with the phone connected to the charger. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the phone starts up let it continue to charge until it's 100%.
if the broken button will not let you do the reset Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

My iPhone randomly turns off by itself with battery remaining. I can turn on the iPhone by hard restart. But sometimes it turns on at fifth, sixth, or more try. did anyone have this problem? and how can I fix it?

When my phone was off it wouldn't connect to iTunes, i got it working now though. I just had to hold my lock button and my home button down long enough. Thanks anyways though!
