IPhone 4 turns off EVERY morning for about 30 minutes

Every morning on my drive to work, my iPhone 4 turns itself off, and it turns itself back on after about 30 minutes.
No matter what combination of buttons i press to reset it or turn it on, nothing happens until it decides it want to come alive again.
When i plug it into the computer during this 30 minute window, iTunes tells me that the phone is in restore mode.
Then between 8:55 and 9:05 it just turns on.
What is this all about!!!

You plug it into the computer during your drive to work? Scary
Take it to Apple or call Apple tech support. Something is amiss and it may be unique to your iPhone.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.      
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. You likely have a bad battery.

    I downloaded the latest operating system for my iPhone 5.  It worked fine for about two minutes then the phone requested a password number to continue. Each time I inserted numbers, which were incorrect, the phone would lock up for a certain period of time.  Now, it says “iPhone is Disabled”.  It said to “Connect to iTunes” which I did, but iTunes does not recognize my phone.  If I scroll the face to the right, it goes to the phone number face and says, "No Service". Can I do something to make the phone work?

  • HT4528 Hello.  I recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to ios7.  Since the upgrade, my phone turns itself off at the same time every night, for about 30 minutes.  I have no idea why.  Any suggestions?

    I recently upgrade to iOS 7, and since then, my iPhone turns off automatically at the same time every night for about 30.  Why does this happen, and what setting can I change to prevent it?

    Is Do Not Disturb turned on? Do you see a quarter-moon icon up top in the status bar?

  • IPhone 3G turns off every few minutes with new OS

    Greetings all,
    Apologies for not introducing myself in advance but I just want to get this issue fixed. I upgraded my iPhone to OS 4 and now the main issue is that when it is not plugged in it will just turn off after a few minutes of being idle. If I actually use it (i.e. keep the screen on) it won't turn off - its only a minute or two after the screen turns off that the iPhone actually turns off. I suspect this is a crash because I have to hold down the Power Button and Home Button in order to get it working again.
    However, if its plugged in it won't turn off! How useful! I've read over some topics (and still am reading them, thanks for all the help) but I'm not getting anywhere. I've deleted the ipsw file and re-downloaded it to no avail and am considering trying a new user account on Windows 7.
    Are other people having this issue? I was going to upgrade to the newest iPhone and give this to my little sister, but I don't think I'll upgrade now. She's rather upset about this.
    Thanks,
    Discopanda.

    Make a backup, if possible.  Restore it as new, if possible.  If issue persists, or you are unable to do either of those previous steps, consult Apple.

  • Iphone 4 turn off every few min

    I bought a new iphone 4 and I immediatly found out that it turns off every few min and startup again by it self ..
    I don't know if it's a hardware or a software problem !
    and I travled away from the country which I bought it from
    what can I do ???

    even i am facing this problem from last 1 month and the only answer i receive is get it replaced from Apple. I can't understand what people like us should do as we don't have this warranty. Also i have seen end no of iphone users having the same problem but there is no answer from Apple as how come new iphone's that is also in such large nos are having this unique problem of getting restarted in 3 to 4 minutes. It is for sure that they know there is something is wrong with their product and thats why they replace as soon as customer complains but what people like us will do if they don't have warranty....I think atleast Apple should tell us what the exact problem is????????????????????????????????????

  • Why does my Find My iPhone get turned off every time I install an iOS update?

    When I installed the 7.0.2 and just last week the 7.0.3 update on my 4S it turned the Find My iPhone service off in iCloud.  Has anyone else seen this?  Is it turning off any other services that I need to know about? 

    as far as i understand iCal it is on the "receivers/subscribers" side to deal with email-updates (and not on the "senders/changers" side):
    snippet from my Re: How do you stop receiving notifications about updated calendar events? (there is a screenshot as well):
    to NOT get email notification about updated events from a shared calendar you subscribed to you have to uncheck "events affect availability" in that calendars "info" (mac os X.7 and X.8: iCal —> calendars dropdown —> right click on the subscribed calendar —> choose "get info" from the context-menu —> uncheck "events affect availability")

  • Iphone 5 turns off at 30%

    Hello there,
    since around two weeks my iPhone 5 turns off at around 30%. 20 minutes later I can turn it on again, it is still at around 30%, but turns of one or two minutes later. I did a full cycle charge but nothing changed.
    Thank you for any help,
    Chris

    Hello Chris,
    I would be concerned too if my iPhone was powering off unexpectedly.  I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this.  I recommend following the steps below:
    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.

    Suspect it has "dozed" off.  Can we get your event viewer logs
    Please provide us with your Event Viewer administrative logs by following these steps:
    Click Start Menu
    Type eventvwr into Search programs and files (do not hit enter)
    Right click eventvwr.exe and click Run as administrator

    Click Administrative Events
    Right click Administrative Events
    Save all Events in Custom View As...
    Save them in a folder where you will remember which folder and save as Errors.evtx
    Go to where you saved Errors.evtx
    Right click Errors.evtx -> send to -> compressed (zipped) folder
    Upload the .zip file to Onedrive or a file sharing service and put a link to it in your next post
    If you have updated to win 8.1 and you get the error message "the system cannot find the file specified" it is a known problem.
     The work around is to edit the registry.  If you are not comfortable doing this DONT.  If you are, backup the key before you do

  • HT201401 My iPhone 4 vibrated for about a minutes and is now unresponsive with a black screen. I don't know if it's on or off. What do I do?

    This morning I used my iPhone very well, received and made a few calls. I placed my phone on the bed and started to use my iPad. I then heard the phone vibrating and the phone screen was black. I tried pressing the home button but that didn't stop it. I tried to turn off the phone but that didn't stop it. It vibrated for about a minute non-stop. When it finally stopped, my phone looked as if it was turned off...black screen and not responding to anything. I tried to turn it on but nothing. The battery was fully charged last night to that is not the issue. What do I do? Please help me.

    No problem just happy you got it working again
    Happy Days

    hi there,

    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.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My phone keeps shutting down approx every 5-10min for about a minute then turns back on, I have updated the software so thats not the problem, anyone have any ideas?

    My phone keeps shutting down approx every 5-10min for about a minute then it turns back on itself. I have updated the software so thats not the issue, any suggestions?

    Do you have a case on the iPhone or have you damaged it in anyway? If you have a case, try testing without the case.
    Also, try restoring the iPhone and testing it as a new device.
    If that doesn't take care of it, get a Genius to take a look at it or setup service online.
