IPhone 4s keeps freezing and not connecting to wifi. Keeps turning it off?

IPhone 4s keeps freezing and not connecting to wifi. Been like this for last 6 months.. Am real fed up with it.. Have reset, tried turning off but still not connecting.. Any suggestions gratefully received.

Does "have reset" mean that you restored the phone to factory settings? If not, you might want to give that a try. You will want to backup first so that you can restore your data from the backup after you restore the iOS software.
This will erase the phone and also download and install the most recent iOS version available for your device.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

    Hi, pinkshaz. 
    You may find this article helpful when troubleshooting iTunes not recognizing your iPhone.  If you have any security software, disable this software and test the results.

  • IPhone 6 screen freezes and can't find wifi after iOS 8.0.2 update

    iPhone 6 screen freezes and can't find wifi after iOS 8.0.2 update. Have to do a hard reboot. I am Extremely disappointed and lost ALL trust in Apples Quality Assurance. From now on I'll wait a week before I update.

    Hey there Shortos,
    It sounds like your phone touchscreen is not consistently working for you after updating to iOS 8. I can see how that would be pretty frustrating. It sounds to me like this could be a software issue or an issue with the screen itself. I would start with the troubleshooting in the following article to help troubleshoot the screen itself:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
    Restart your device
    Hold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
    If you can't restart your device, reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
    Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
    If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
    If that does not resolve the issue, I would next quit all the running apps on the device:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time for no reason every time I put it on silent or just get a Facebook message I have a broken sleep/power button anyone know how to fix this problem?

    My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time the power/sleep button dosent work so it's quiet annoying having to plug it in all the time dose anyone have a fix for this?

    The "fix" is to get the phone repaired.  There's no magic solution for a broken phone.
    Bring your phone ant $149 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement, or find a 3rd party repair shop near you. 

  • How can you get your ipod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to wifi

    How can you get your iPod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to the Internet Connection and you don't want to reset it.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Not receiving texts from iPhone contacts when I'm not connected to wifi or cell data. I can't send and receive regular SMS texts with non iMessage users but iMessage users message are not being converted to text when I don't have internet connect

    I can send and receive to any non iPhone user. I can send a message as a text to an iPhone user but if I'm not connected to cellular data or wifi I do not receive messages from iPhone contacts. From what I understand these message should automatically send to me as texts instead of iMessages but since the update it's not functioning properly. Please help. I've tried turning iMessage off and I still don't receive the messages until after I reconnect to wifi.

    I have the same problem! Before the upgrade, if I wasn't connected to the internet, any messages sent to me from an iphone would convert automatically to a text message. I have payg tarriff, so I turn cell data off, as it costs too much to use it. I have wifi at home and work, but if I'm out and about, I don't receive texts from iphone users until I'm on wifi. I get them ok from non iphone users. There was never any problem until ios7

  • My iPhone 4S keeps turning itself off when I still have battery life and then it doesn't charge?

    It's only just started doing this and it's really annoying me now!! Ha
    I'll charge my phone up overnight then a couple of hours into the next day the battery wil be down to about 20% then it will say I only have 10% left even though I will have 20% if you see what I mean? And then to top it off it turns itself off and won't let me recharge!!
    It did happen to my iPad the other week but that seems to be fine now.
    I've tried changing and checking chargers etc but they seem to work it other people's and my iPad seems fine now

    Hi there glee154!
    I have an article here that can help you troubleshoot this issue with your iPhone. The article is about troubleshooting a multitude of iPhone hardware issues, and can be found right here:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    The specific section you will want to reference can be found here:
    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 LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 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.
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • My ipod keeps freezing and is glitchy i tried to turn it off again but sometimes dosnt

    my ipod keeps freezing and is glitchy i have tried everything turn it off shut it down but nothing works! anything that will help? this dosnt happen to the other apple products i have and my brother also has an ipod touch and has almost the same apps but it dosnt happen to him

    Try:
    - 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.

  • My iPhone 4S keeps turning itself off :/

    I have an iPhone 4S, it keeps turning itself of on its own and crashing. I've restated it, reset it and been to an apple shop but the Genius Bar told me that this is a software problem which they can't do anything about. They've offered me a refurbished iPhone 4S but I would have to pay £180 for it. Is there anything else I can do? I know they've admitted that it's a software malfunction and I'm really not happy they won't replace the damaged product free of charge. Just wondering if there's anything else I could try. Thanks

    Exactly the same problem and answer by Apple. Disgusted so went and brought a Samsung. Problem solved.

  • IPhone 4 keeps turning itself off - Help !

    So I've had this problem with my iPhone 4 for months now, and lately it seems to be getting worse. It used to randomly turn itself off when it had loads of battery at any time, and lately it's getting worse and worse. I take it off charge and it either turns off straight away, or it turns off within a few minutes.
    When trying to turn it back on, the apple logo just appears and then it turns off again, and I cannot turn it back on properly until it is put back on charge. Even at that, sometimes when put back on charge the apple logo just appears and disappears sometimes, and doesn't actually turn back on.
    I thought the battery was the issue so I had it replaced, but when I did so, the problem reappeared a day later. As I'm writing this I can't turn my phone on, but I'm almost 100% sure the software version on it is 6.1.2 if that's any help.  Somebody help me! Nobody else seems to be having this problem as far as I can tell either, so thanks in advance if somebody is able to put me out of my misery.

    I would ask for another battery replacement just to ensure you didn't get a defective one, and if that doesn't do it you have some type of hardware problem on your hands.   I doubt it's a software issue - rarely does a phone just shut off like you're explaining unless it's physical hardware.

  • Iphone 4 keeps turning itself off.  no matter if i have a full charge it turns off whether I am texting or using any app.

    Hello,
    My Iphone 4 turns itself off constantly.  Whether it is fully charged, 80 % or anywhere in between it shuts off and I need to hook it up to the charger to get it to open up again.  What can I do to fix this?

    Yes, I have.  I still have the same problem.  My phone won't stay on for any length of time.  I just updated to the latest iOS as well, it shut itself off in less than one minute.  I have an appointment this coming thursday at the Apple Store.

  • Why does the EQ (equalizer) function in the iPod settings (in my iPhone 4) keep turning itself off??

    I'll notice my music sounds flat, too much treble, etc... go into iPod settings and sure enough the equalizer is set of OFF again.  I reset it to rock or bass boost or whatever.  And it then it might be another hour or 3 days later but it turns itself off again.  There doesnt seem to be a lot of rhyme or reason as to when it does this or why.  Annoying.   Any ideas?
    I have iPhone 4 running iOS 6.1

    bump... any ideas please?

  • IPhone 3G keeps turning itself off and on by itself-Any advice how to stop?

    Earlier today, I noticed that my iPhone 3G began cycling back and forth between the main menu and the screen that has the red slider button that you can push to turn the phone off. It is cycling back and forth on its own without any human touch whatsoever. It is going through the cycle every 30-45 seconds. If I turn the phone off using this screen, the phone turns itself back on. If I choose to ignore it, after about 30 or 45 seconds or so, it will go back to the main menu. I did a full restore and it is still doing the same thing. I have the settings for "Auto Lock" set to "Never" so I don't think it's a problem with that setting. Does anyone have any other suggestions for how I might address this problem?? THANKS for any help and/or suggestions on how to cure my problem without physically going to see an Apple Genius.
    PDUB OKC

    I have the exact same problem, the cycle is around 15 seconds.
    The phone goes from standby to the 'slide to unlock' screen and then goes back to standby all on its own, and it does this continuously until it bleeds the battery dry - it's killing me as it keeps catching my eye when the phone's on my desk.
    The following scenarios stop this happening.
    - I switch the phone to silent (I'm using this as a stop gap solution).
    - I'm playing music through the phone's speakers.
    - I'm playing music through headphones.
    - It's charging.
    - It's connected to my laptop.
    I've tried all the usual stuff, rebooting, restoring, airport mode, no wifi, switching off all notifications, removing all 3rd party apps, turning of all push/email related programs etc...
    I'm pretty stumped to think what's causing this, when it started happening I'd done nothing new/different to the phone (no new apps installed, I'd not synced it, knowingly dropped it, had a issue plugging in the charger or headphones).
    I'm at the point where I think I'm going to need to go to the O2 shop (one of my least favourite things to do) and experience customer service...there must be some clever dick out there that knows how to resolve this....?????
    TIS (hopefully)
    P.s. I've posted this in another thread on the same subject, just trying to increase my chances of it being seen.

  • Freezing and cannot connect to wifi

    IPhone 6 cannot connect to wireless and it is freezing up. Anyone else having this issue? The wireless button to turn on is not responsive!  I am not happy!

    Start at spotlight search
    Find results on maps
    Touch results to go to contact page
    Scroll to bottom touch add to existing contact
    When contacts appear touch search to find existing contact
    Phone freezes at this point  and only a soft reset will allow continued use.
    Also can't find wifi then magically connects
