IPhone 4S latest software keeps turning off

My iPhone 4S was overheating a week or so ago, I was holding it and it got awfully hot so I put it down and left it for a few hours.
A day ago, it turned itself off out of nowhere, I turned it back on and when I went to use it, it would keep turning off and on and freezing,
Finally today it wont turn on, it gets to the start up part (black with white apple logo) and freezes and wont get any further.
Help?

Hey,
Thanks but all ready tried that.
I took it to apple and its a problem with the latest software update, it wouldn't even let apple run a diagnostics.. It fried the whole thing lol. Caused from the battery so be sure to check your battery guys :)

Did software update on iphone 4s and phone keeps shutting off and turning back on

Anybody else having a problem with their iPhones after latest software update?

Try resetting the iPhone by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider. Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

IPhone 3GS keeps turning off/shutting down.Have done system restore but no improvement. Suggestions welcome.

iPhone 3GS keeps turning off/shutting down. After numerous attempts I've managed to get it on again. Any ideas - could it be battery? Suggestions welcome.

Try forcing the phone into recovery mode and restore as a new device.
Follow these steps:
iOS: How to back up your device and setup as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
Doing this will help eliminate any possible software issue that could be causing this. Setting up a new device will bypass a backup with possible data corruption.
If the issue continues after this, you should contact Apple for service for the phone as it will very likely be a hardware issue.

HT201401 Why does my iPhone 3G keep turning off by itself even when it's not dead?

My dad had his iPhone 3G and gave it to me when he had an upgrade. He never had the issue of it turning off by itself, but when he gave it to me, all of a sudden it decided to turn off by itself even when it was on like 80% still.
I took it in to the Apple Store near me and they said that I had too much "stuff" on it, mostly music.
So, I completely redid my phone. I reset it completely so that it looked like a completely new iPhone. And then downloaded only 12 apps and 195 songs. And, only about 50 pictures. (This is an 8 gig by the way)
Right now, there's less than 4 gigs on there so far meaning I still have more than half of my phone to fill. They guy at the store said it needs 2 gigs to run.
SO, it should have started working since theres way less stuff on there now, and more than enough space to run. Why does it keep turning off still though?
It's so annoying and inconvenient. If anyone could help it would be SO appreciated.
THANKS!!

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as a new device. Go through each step in succession until your issue is resolved.

why does my iphone keep turning off when i put my pass code in

Hi ManiPictures,
If your iPhone shuts down unexpectedly during use, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
As your iPhone's operating system is already up to date with iOS 8.1.1, follow the last instruction -
If you still see this issue after updating, contact Apple Support.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

IPhone 4 keeps turning off randomly.

Ever since I updated to iOS 5, my iPhone keeps turning off at random times. At first, it didn't happen too often, and I would be able to turn my phone back on without any problems. Now, it shuts off quite often to the point where I can barely use it. And very time I'd try to turn it back on, the Apple logo would appear like it's starting up normally and right when it's about to actually turn back on, it just shuts back off. The only time it's able to turn back on is if I plug it in. Any help/fixes to this problem? I tried doing hard resets, tried setting up the phone as new, deleted apps, etc...nothing has worked. Is anyone having the same problem??

Has anyone found the iPhone 4 alerts sounds keep turning down. The only way to get them back up is to switch the phone off and then back on.

My iPhone 4 alert volume keeps turning its self down even though the volume is turned up. The only way to correct is to turn the phone off and then back on.

YES! This is really killing me and you're the only one to bring it up in discussions! I constantly have to turn it off and on to get it back to norm, and this other reply about clean wiping in/resetting it is just too much of a pain in the @#*. I don't have the apple warranty, but do have verizon as a carrier with insurance. I wonder if they'll have a clue as to what to do, or just default to the idiocy that is the norm. Good luck to us both. Btw, I have the 4s..
