Iphone 4s aps shutting down

Hi
The aps on my iphone are indesciminately shutting down - often whilst opening but not always. I have reset setting on phone, reloaded all via itunes and got a replacement phone so I think it must be something I've put on the phone???
How do I work out what's causing this?
Cheers! Clare

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.

  • My iPhone 4 keeps shutting down :/ lately it's taken 2hrs to come back  up. Diagnostics shows panic.plist and I've had my phone barely over a year. Will Apple replace it? As I hear I need to make an appt at the apple store.

    My iPhone 4 keeps shutting down. The past 3 days it's taken at least 2hrs to come back on. It constantly has no service and tells me system restore is needed. Under diagnostics it shows panic.plist. I've had my phone a year and 3mths. I hear I need to go to apple to get a replace as this is a software issue. It isn't under warranty. Will they replace it or is it a waste of my time? I recently just got the iOS update and now my phone gets hot to the touch also. Please help. My upgrade isn't until summer of next year but I need a phone that works and will get signal!

    Out of Warranty replacement for iPhone 4 is $149 US;
    you will get the same model, color and capacity you have.
    If your current iPhone was locked to a wireless provider,
    the replacement will be locked to that same provider.

  • Iphone 3gs keep shutting down apps

    Why does my iphone 3gs keep shutting down apps when I'm in the middle of using them?  The battery is holding a charge and iTunes says my software is up-to-date, so I don't understand why this is happening!  It is really frustrating when I'm trying to order something online and Safari keeps shutting down!
    Thanks to anyone who can help me!

    Hi Rebecca,
    I have looked on google for a fix to the same issue.
    Apple has been aware of this issue dating back past 2008 but they have not released a fix.
    Apparently the only way to fix it is to "do it yourself" everytime, by resetting your iphone to factory settings. And reinstalling your applications again.
    I just brought an iPhone 4 in New Zealand, and I have only 9 applications on my phone. So it can't be an issue of 'too many' apps.
    Sorry this doesn't help. The balls in Apples hands here.

  • HT201401 What causes the iPhone 4S to shut down to a black screen when it has full power?

    What causes the iPhone 4S to shut down to a black screen when it has full power? I have cleared the open icons and it works for one day then shuts down again.

    Software hiccup, glitch or maybe faulty battery. Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. See if this helps. If still problem that you think is serious enough to fix, all iPhone 4S have full Warranty. Make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

  • If your iphone 3gs just shuts down when theres something wrong with your hardware,is there any possible way to get all your pictures back?

    if your iphone 3gs just shuts down when something went wrong with your hardware is there any possible way to get all pictures or other important stuff onto itunes?

    What happened to the phone. Did it just go black? Did you try to plug it into Itunes and see if it can be seen or throw it on the charger. You can still try the reset procedure listed in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 and see if the phone turns back on.
    The only way to get things back is to have backed them up ahead of time.

  • Iphone 4 / 4s  shuts down frequently from itself

    My girl-friend has an iphone 4 and since a few weeks it shuts down frequently spontaneous.
    Replaced the battery and totally renewed the IOS. No succes. While doing this, my iphone 4 also shut down spontaneous!
    Also replaced the battery and replaced the IOS. No succes. 2 Friends of mine have exactly the same problems with their iphone 4S.
    Is there a wifi-virus in Nijmegen, The Netherlands???  Are there more people with this problem??
    If shut down, it can be started up again by doing a reset. Our iphones are not reliable anymore.....

    After I removed Facebook and FB messenger, my iphone problems vanished. No spontaneous shutdowns anymore.
    My girl-friend first removed FB messenger with no succes. After removing Facebook, she also is free of problems.

  • My iPhone 4S keeps shutting down before battery is low

    Why does my iPhone 4S keep shutting down when it shows I still have 30% battery or more still available?   For example...my last phone started shutting down at 30% and by the time I took it to the store a couple weeks later, it was shutting down at 88% (they saw it for themselves, ran diagnostics, and came up with no issues).  Getting a new phone every 3 weeks is not ideal.  I'm on my 2nd replacement phone in 2 months and it started back up yet again-shut down at 31% a couple days ago.  I charge the phone to 100% and it never fails, it shuts down at a higher percentage each day (it shut down at 35% today).  I have done everything Apple Support has suggested with no luck (including full restore).  Is anyone else having this problem?  Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I simply use the phone until I have only a little charge left. Once that's reached I'll simply let phone idle completely or drain the rest with lightweight use. We have big difference here as I can actually reach 1% rather than phone dying at 20++ percentages. Previous said, e.g yesterday phone just died after some use with 12% battery left and started again when bringing indoors. I was then able to drain the battery from 12% -> 1% before it eventually died completely. After this I couldn't start the phone anymore instead getting the charge icon constantly, so I just plugged it in at that point. After charging over night I would then consider the battery charge meter calibrated.
    In your case you could test if you can still start the phone at 47%. Even if it's displaying only charge icon you could try to hold the sleep/power button longer and/or do reset with holding home+sleep/power button a few seconds. If it indeed doesn't start it would indicate battery truly is empty. It it does.. then you could try to continue using the phone hopefully hitting lower battery levels and eventually try to fully recharge it in case you'll see the battery charge percentage working any different.
    Below picture shows I can still reach the  "0%" battery level and also pretty good usage times.. so the problem with me really is just that the stupid phone doesn't like cool temperatures (possibly after iOS6 upgrade)

  • HT201401 My iphone 5 always shuts down between 20-10% battery life...It drives me crazy

    My Iphone 5 always shuts down between 10-20% battery life...

    In response to the other posts, I have not had any issue with the battery until the update to IOS7 and I have been using the phone for over a year.   I am not suprised that the store would say the battery was bad, the phone thinks it is and shuts down.   I do not know what plugging it in does for the phone, but after I plugged it in for just a few minutes it lasted for several hours.   it was not that the battery was dead, but how the camera works with the system on IOS7.   I do not know if taking a picture and saving it while using the flash cause a large draw etc, but whatever it is the system then thinks the battery is dead when it isnt.    The hard part is once you apply power it will go away and there is no way to verify the issue.   Even if it is weaker battery it should not just shut off with 20% power and then not work until power is applied.   The battery is not dead as it has worked for several hours afterward.   I have not used the camera in those cases for fear of losing my phone until I could get to a power cord.  I am not aware of it happening twice in a row, but I will test it next time I am near a power cord after it dies.   I would also concur, that this is a quick failure for the battery also as the phone is just over a year old.

  • My iPhone 4S keeps shutting down

    hello, my iPhone 4S keeps shutting down saying the battery is drained even if I have hardly used it, then when I plug it it it says I have 45% battery.
    What to do?
    thanks
    Sarah

    I have the exact same problem...Apple Support tried multiple things (including full restore) and nothing worked so they told me to get a new phone.  I'm on my 3rd phone, nothing's working.  They just keep giving me new phones and don't seem to have a fix for me.  Going back to the store again this weekend for a 4th phone, not happy with Apple.

  • My iPhone 4 keeps shutting down and won't switch back on unless I plug it into charger. It's then coming hop iOS 6 and connect to iTunes?

    My iPhone 4 keeps shutting down and won't switch back on unless I plug it into charger. It's then coming hop iOS 6 and connect to iTunes?

    Yes I've connected it to iTunes.. Reset the phone completely and synced phone again. It's also turned off twice today and when it comes back on its saying searching in the top left corner were your signal and network carrier should be?

  • HT4623 My iPhone 4S keeps shutting down after I upgraded to iOS7

    My iPhone 4S keeps shutting down after I upgraded to iOS7

    This has happend twice to me in the past 12 hours since I just updated to iOS 7.0.2, but did not happen after I updated to iOS 7
    Last night the operating system crashed to the Apple symbol (a reset) when browsing the settings menu.
    Perhaps it's a bug with the movement tracking? Seems to be connected with sudden movements (I noticed it shut off when I quickly lifted the phone up to look at the screen) - perhaps the background parallax is glitching the system to a software reset? If my problem persists I may temproarily disable the parallax to see if that mitigates the resets.
    To be clear, the update to iOS 7 didn't precipitate this problem, and I updated to iOS & on the day of its release (9/18).
    This used to happen to me sporadically on my iphone 4s on iOS6, usually when my battery was anywhere at 40% to 5% - though I suspect that was because I was due to re-set the battery by completely draining it.
    Is anyone else having this issue with their iPhone 4S?
    I'm using a Verizon iPhone 4s 64 GB, still in excellent condition.

  • Iphone 5 keeps shutting down

    My iphone 5 keeps shutting down randomly without warning. This happens during the day or even over night when it's plugged in. Any ideas what's causing this?

    If you're restoring from a backup, try restoring as a new device in order to test it. If it stops doing it, that means there is something in your backup file that's corrupted, or maybe one of your apps is causing the problem. If it still does it, it's probably a hardware problem, and you should make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar to have it evaluated.

  • IPhone 5 keeps shutting down and needs rebooting even when fully charged?

    My iPhone 5 keeps shutting down when left unattended. This requires a full reboot and this doesn't always work either. Sometimes it requires a full reboot several times. Has anyone else had this problem?

    I am having the same issue with my iPhone 5s. I travelled to the UK and my phone started having this issue over there (i have turned the cellular data off). I restored my phone last night but when it asked me to set it up again, i chose for it to set up from the back up i had stored on my Mac. The problem is still presistent even though it is shutting down less often. I am going to restore it to the factory settings tonight and see if I keep getting the same issue I will take it to a Mac Genius. However if it works i will let you know

  • My iphone 5 keeps shutting down and then won't restart with buttons. Apple changed the phone and this one does it too .

    My iphone 5 keeps shutting down . Then I can't restart
    It . The buttons will not work unless I hold them both
    Down for ages.
    Apple said it was hardware and changed the phone and gold
    Me to restore the phone from back up -
    Now this phone is doing the same thing ?????

    I am thinking the same thing -
    Such a nuisance - they just changed it
    And gave me reconditioned phone
    Etc but this one is doing exactly the same
    Not sure if its back up
    But it never did it on my iphone 4 withy he
    Same back up x
