IPhone 4s keeps cutting out.

I've seen a couple of these around and while they are helpful none are really answering the question I have!
A few days ago at work my phone cut out in my poket but I didn't think anything of it as it came back on when I pressed the top button, however today I was in the car with it plugged into my sony stereo via USB. Now I have been doing this for 2 years (both with this phone for 1/2 years and my 3g before that) At this point it cut itself out and wouldn't come on, so I left it unplugged from my car and went to do my shopping, when I got back in the car I tested it to see what would happen and it continuously went onto the apple screen then cut, apple screen cut etc. so i unplugged it for most my journey with the intention of plugging into my laptop to restore it.
No such luck I plugged it into my laptop and it did the same as my car, so my dad got his old cable and we poped it into the mains, Hurrah it came on! showing 100% power I thought unplugging it would be fine so I did, cut out the second the cable moved. Great. So I plugged it in again and unlocked it. By doing this I noticed that I wouldn't pick up any signal and then as it's going into 'off' mode the screen freezes at mid darkness and wont budge. I have tried to do a hard reset on it a few times (As per all the other instructions) and it has now been left alone and hour and a half -2 hours and it's still not doing anyhting differently.
Any help would be aprriciated and I really don't want to have to buy a new phone as my car needs fixing too!
Everything on the phone is up to date and I plug it into my computer once a week to back it up. The laptop I am using is a 3 year old white macbook.
Thank you in advance!

Depending on the age of the phone and its usage, this could be battery issue and your battery might have to be replaced. If the phone is still charging with your fathers USB cable, make sure it is charged for at least 15min, then try to connect in recovery mode, explained here:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
If this does not work, you'll have to get it checked out by visiting an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place or by contacting Apple directly: Apple - Support - Service Answer Center

  • Why does my iphone 4 keep cutting out in conversation after 2-3 minutes

    why does my iphone 4 cut out when calling someone after 2-3 miutes

    Sounds like something got corrupted during your upgrade.
    I would restore from a last known good backup if I were you.
    If that doesn't work I would set the phone up as new and re-install all of your apps and re-sync your music again.

  • IPhone 3GS keeps cutting out mid conversation - anyone else?

    I got my first iPhone around four months back. No one could hear me on the first handset, so I returned it. I couldn't hear anyone with the second handset, so returned that. The third one worked like a dream...until...the 4.0 upgrade came along.
    Now it cuts out mid conversation and reboots itself, sometimes after two minutes, sometimes after five. If I'm lucky I can hit 10 minutes before it crashes.
    I've got my forth handset arriving next Wednesday, but as a business user I find it ridiculous that Apple have created such a rubbish product. Buck your ideas up Apple! We pay a fortune for your products in the UK, and your reputation is getting badly damaged by your shoddy phones.
    Anyone else having the same issues with your iPhone?

    you might want to actually read some other posts in this forum, as many do have the same problem.

    suggestions are :
    Dont make calls in low cell signal zones of more than 5 minutes,
    Switch off the Spotlight Search options under the General Settings,
    Switch off wifi, 3G, bluetooth before making a call,
    kill all "multi-tasking" apps before talking to anyone.
    Jailbreak using the web-based option if you have not installed iOS4.02.

  • My iphone keeps cutting out when i ring people and people cant hear me when i speak what could it be?

    when i ring people my iphone keeps cutting out, it connects but i can hear them talking but they cant hear me talking :s

    Hey Ciara,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    I understand that you are having issues with others being able to hear you while on calls, the issue seems to be resolved by using speakerphone. This makes sense, as speakerphone utilizes a different microphone. I would advise you to take a look at the following articles:

  • New iphone 4s speaker keeps cutting out on calls and have to put it on external speaker, this is happening to others I have called today with the same phone. Is there a fix?

    My wife has a new 4s and quite often her phone speaker cuts out during a call and she has to put it on speakerphone. Telus tech support tells me this is a known issue yet there doesn't seem to be an update to the phone available in itunes yet. So far today we have talked to two other people who live in our area with the same phone and same issue. One went so far as to buy a jawbone for $150 to work around it not knowing it was a software issue. Is this a software fix or do we need to do a hardware swap? Is there a fix out or on the way?

    My gf was having the same issues and also with a big echo every time I called her either from my 4S or even fron a land line as per other comments here. They told he to take it into the Apple store and they reset the software and now it's working fine.....so far.
    Now today my bluetooth earpiece has decided to stop working for some unknown reason and then the last person that called me said my phone keep cutting out. I don't know whether that was because I had to turn off my bluetooth to answer the phone or what.
    I suspect Apple will be sending out an update to fix some of these reported issues but in the meantime the local Apple store seems to be the only option. Just hoping I don't have to take that option as that would require a huge inconvenience for me as neither of the two stores in the Vanvouver area are remotely close to me.
    Good luck.

  • Airplay from phone to ATV keeps cutting out.

    When using my ATV and airplay from iPhone 4s the audio keeps cutting out then will play agian. This will happen every 5-20 seconds. I am able to use airplay from my MBP without any issues. I have restarted the iPhone and ATV. I have closed all aps on the phone and tried both streaming and music apps with the same result. All items have the most recent updates. I have an airport express in my shop which there is no issue using airplay form the phone with any aiplay app. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Try changing your energy saver settings.   Make sure the macbook is plugged in and change both display and computer sleep to never.  When your display goes to sleep airplay will shut off.  I don't watch a lot of tv on airplay from my mac, but this works for when I'm streaming radio or music.  I suggest getting a cheap iPod touch (with airplay) on craigslist if you don't have an iPhone.  I've seen them as low as $30.  Then get the Air Video app ($3) and the Remote app (free).  These two apps take care of all of my tv/movie watching needs. 
    If your appleTV is too far from your wireless router then you will have trouble using any of these features.  Try purchasing an extra long (100') cat5 cable from monoprice.com and moving your router to a more central area of your house.  You can even put a second router in your home using this cat5 and get great internet connection everywhere! 

  • Why does my airport express keep cutting out?

    Why does my airport express keep cutting out?

    I have a 1st gen Airport Express and use it to stream music from my PC, iPhone 4, iPad and iPod Touch. My Airport Express is connected to a Teac UD-H01 DAC via an optical cable which is connected to an amp and speakers. I had no problems at all with this set up until I upgraded the Airport Express firmware to 7.6.3. The sound then started to drop out frequently. To cut a long story short after various testing, the problem had to be the Airport Express. I called Apple support but they were not much help and couldn't fix the problem and said they would speak to engineering and phone back. While I was waiting I decided to have another go to find the problem and opened the airport utility and saw that there was an option to downgrade the firmware. At this point I realised that the problems started about the same time that I upgraded the firmware to 7.6.3 but didn't think at the time that Apple would release a firmware that didn't work. Anyway I downgraded to 7.6.1 and hey presto, everything worked again. A couple of days ago I noticed that firmware 7.6.4 was available and thought I'd give it a go, not good - same problem as 7.6.3. I've downgraded to 7.6.1 again and all is well. Hope this helps.

  • Iphone 5 keeps cutting calls off

  • My headphones keep cutting out

    The sound on my iPod keeps cutting out - I've tried different types of headphones but still the same problem

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • I phone keep cutting out

    why dose my iphone keep cutting out in mid conversation ? somebody tell me before its launched

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue is still not resolved, and it's not a network/carrier issue, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
