IPhone 4 not working after ios 5.1

I upgraded to ios 5.1 on my iPhone 4, ever since the upgrade my phone stared resting/restarting turning off and on again, its self after a few minuets continually then eventually get black screen and nothing happens until the battery runs flat then it come back to life before starting resting its self again.
I have doesn't several full restore but nothing happening.
I have removed all the apps music books all but contacts of the phone still no joy
Currently waiting for the battery to run out again as blank screen again. Wont reset or anything even plugged into iTunes but nothing works until the battery drains.
Any ideas before I loose my mind??????????

Not sure tried but would let me, only way I could see is by using third party programs although these can invalidate the warranty.
I rang apple and have received a new handset, they were of the opinion that new firmware can bring hidden Hardware issues to light hence cause the problem. So if in warranty give them a call

HT6154 rear camera on iphone 5 not working after ios 8 update why?

My iPhone 5 rear camera is no longer working after ios 8 update its just black I can see the flash choice the hdr and the timer but other than that it is a black screen

Hi there fjci2003,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

Iphone 4s not working after ios update 6.1.3

I have an iphone 4s boxed, brandnew and unopened for a year not until March 2013, for a couple of days i have used it, worked excellent but after i have unlocked it through at&t and updated it to IOS 6.1.3 it went to re-activation mode again. Tried several times to activate it but no succeess. I went to an apple store to discuss the problem of the update and consequently the result it brought to my iphone4s but denied a replacement because it was passed the warranty period. I was offered a replacement (for a fee) of $200 but i refused since i believe i havent enjoyed the iphone for years, has not even dropped, water-damaged nor scratched. The manager on duty (Mary, Fairview Mall, Ontario) insisted that my iphone 4s has a growing software problem already and i just dont know of... I reiterated to her that the unit was working as brandnew just like many of my apple products i have. I havent called the apple support telephone support though. What should i do now? Please help guys. I cannot take it paying another $200 for an iphone that was practically brandnew and went useless after the update. I have a record of the at&t authorized unlocking request. Should i escalate the appeal to where? Please help.. Thanks a lot guys.

The fact that you chose to leave the device in the box for a year (a rather unintelligent decision) has no bearing on the warranty. Warranty starts from the date of the original purchase.
You can try basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide which is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).

Iphone 4s not working after ios 7 upgrade

Ever since i have updated my iphone 4s to ios 7my phone has stuck in recovery mode and when i connectect to itunes it keeps coming up with unknown error occurred. Please help my mobile has been out of action since Friday.

My 4S had an initial issue with the initial 7.0 update coming up with unknown error occurred. I looked on the Apple site and was able to see that if I downloaded itunes again and resynced it should work. I did that and it did work. Then the 7.02 update came out the other day. I downloaded it and it crashed my phone with the 4103 error. Another user on the Apple community noted they kept tapping the home screen while the update was occuring and their phone finally came back up. After four days of trying to get the phone back online and forwarding to another cell just to have cell service, it is workin after we tapped the home key during the entire install update and that worked. Now my phone is back online and Apple did not even know that that would fix it. Now they do.

HT4623 iPhone 4 not working after iOS 6.0.1 update

I have just updated my phone to iOS 6.0.1, however after the phone updated, it no longer switches on and I just have a grey screen. When I try and plug the phone into iTunes, it does not recognise anything. Is this likely to be a problem due to the updating iOS6.0.1 or has something else liekly to have broken on the phone and it's just pure coincidence that it happened when I did the update?

I would try a restore in itunes then set up as new iphone (dont use restore from back up) pain I know but it can do the trick.
Still no luck Apple Store get them to sort it or New Phone Please!

IMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade! Feedback pls

iMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade, anybody experiencing this as well? Feedback please......

You shouldn't have to hard restart and it shouldn't have anything to do with your router. If anyone else runs into this problem try resetting the network settings on your phone. All the steps to do this can be found here http://tekshot5.com/ios-5-1-imessage-fix/
Edit: Some of us don't have the option of resetting our DNS servers. I run my own for example for caching purposes.

TS2621 why my outgoing mail server not working after ios 6 upgraded

why my outgoing mail server not working after ios 6 upgraded

Ask your carrier to send you the settings over wifi and then install them that way.
I'm on giffgaff and I used the giffgaff app from the store to sort this out.
Overall though I must say Apple has let itself down on this as why isn't something written in the ios script that keeps the original settings??
Very Poor indeed and I held off using Apple products for years for this very reason!!

IMessage is Activated but its Not working after ios 6.1.3(10B329) iPhone 4

i update my iPhone 4 to ios 6.1.3(10B329) and i restore my backup and i synced my Transfered Purchases and i discovered that the iMessage is not working, i tried to re-activate the iMessage feature ,i Did but it still not working, i Contact Vodafone and they Told me that they have nothing to do and its Probably a Problem in apple server!
Pls HELP!

Both users need to have an active data connection, either wifi or cellular for iMessage to work. Also, both have to have iMessage activated. It is difficult for you to tell what is going on for the other user. However, you might want to try this to flush out any problems in the system. Go into Settings and disable iMessage. Reset the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, go back into Setting and activate iMessage. Try an iMessage after that.
You can use this support document to troubleshoot iMessage activation http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268 and this one to troubleshoot iMessage usage. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755

IPhone 4S cameras do not work after iOS 8 upgrade

I have an iPhone 4S 16 GB, It worked perfectly under iOS 7.1.2. . . I upgraded the OS to iOS 8.0.2 about two weeks ago. ( Bad Move )
I noticed right off that my device was running a little slower, lagging, and worst of all my "Camera" App does not have an image At All ! ! !
The Flash options, HDR options, Timer options, will switch back and forth, but that is all that works, none of the bottom selections work at all,
and when you hit the front/back camera icon, it freezes /locks the options that did work. I have done a deep restore twice on the device,
restored as New Device, still no change at all on the behavior of the Camera operation. One thing I did find out though, it is a Glitch in the iOS
software, pertaining to the Cameras Operation, reason being, is that I can go into the preinstalled Game Center App on the iOS 8, click on Add Photo,
click on Take Photo, and there are my cameras, working perfectly, front & back. I have done a lot of research on this issue over the past two weeks,
Reading Apple's own Compatibility Devices which start at iPhone 4S and later for the iOS 8.0.2, But, If you go into the iPhone iOS 8.0.2 Operators Manual, go to camera section, you will see that there are several of the New functions of the Camera that are only compatible with iPhone 5 and later. Leaving the iPhone 4S not capable of executing the full capabilities of the New Camera App. I've chatted with Apple Online Chat Support for several hours two days ago, the only resolve they had was to send the device in or take it to an Apple Store and they would correct that issue "Free of Charge", even though ,my iPhone is 3 years out of warranty, because it is a Software related issue.... All I wanted to do is find a way to revert back to iOS 7.1.2, I found out very quickly, that is Impossible to do, because it violates Security Issues and Apples Terms of Agreement," Leaving them Not Responsible for any issues what so ever that occurs to your device downloading the iOS 8.0.2. . Which in my opinion, is pretty messed up. . What is the Big Deal of reverting back to any iOS you want, Apple should support every iOS version they have, not the users fault that a New iOS does not work right on their device, slowing it down, etc...I run Windows 7 on my PC, I can revert back to any OS I want, no problem at all.. . Anyways, back to iPhone issues, The other issues I got with the upgrade is that, My device will not power back on after I power it off now, I have to do a reset to get it to booted back up and running, and when I do so, there is a white halo that appears on my screen for several hours, then it will finally dissipate (no idea what that's all about), , Also, the battery life is much shorter now, had much better battery time on iOS 7.1.2 . . . Apple Support said that my Case was the first they have heard of, which surprised me.
<Edited By Host>

I'm not quite clear on how your phone is working right now. I also don't know what "every possible thing" means so here is what you can do to troubleshoot software issues yourself. To be safe do a backup before doing anything.
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Just so you are aware, now that you've had a local hardware person repair the phone you no longer have any warranty or service support from Apple. Good luck.
