Iphone 4S shuts down itself ?

hello, i was wondering if anyone experienced this issue before. my new iphone 4s happens to turn itself off and i cannot turn it back on by pressing the home button or the power button. even when i hold the power button, the apple logo doesnt show or the connect to power logo. the only way for me to get it back on is by holding the power and home button at the same time to do a hard restart. the first time it happened was when i put it down and went to eat dinner and came back to it and it would turn on. i tried pressing the power button, no luck. tried pressing the home button, no luck, held the power button and no luck, the only way to turn it on was to do a hard restart. the second time this happened is when i put my phone in my pocket, went into a car to go someone and took it out and it wouldnt turn on. i had to do another hard restart. any suggestions as to what i should i do ? and did anyone else experience this problem ?

So two days ago I've contacted Apple support (UK) and they advised me (as other users have mentioned mentioned) to restore my device.
But before doing that I've decided to try and update my iPhone 4S to iOS 5.0.1 (which I guess is identical to "restore" since the current OS version is now 5.0.1).
So far no crashes (and of course no panic logs)!
On one side, this is great - no more crashes.
On the other, I'm afraid that it is some kind of hardware problem and that it might show itself again in future iOS versions (when my device won't be under warranty anymore)...
As said, the "sut down" bug I've suffered from was a bit different - in a sense that I didn't have to do a hard reset in order to turn it on again, but rather click the home button and wait for the device to restart.
I think I'll wait a couple of days and see if everything runs smoothly...
I wonder if this bug was sorted out to other users, after 5.0.1 update...

My iPhone 4s shut down itself !!?? (since iOS 5.0)

my ip4s shut down by itself 2-3 times a day when it is locked (stand by) in most cases, it happens periodically and unpredictably. and when I press power button to restart it, it is either showing "the battery is too low to turn on the device" or it is down (i think it switch itself off again) after the apple logo. tried 2-3 times, it's back like normal. even once it happens when connected to the PC. I was wondering whether it is hardware issue or just firmware bug. (i say battery failure)
check out the video recording, you will know what exactly the issue is.

Thanks for your reply but dont you think it is not normal because it never happened with any other iphone and it was fully working phone for atleast 15 min or more it is very dangerous when you are giving your phone to someone like your wife or others to use and it just happens sometime in a hurry you dont want to switch off your phone before removing sim card.

My iPhone 5s with iOS 7.1 become very hot when charged almost reach 100% and will shut down itself.

My iPhone 5s with iOS 7.1 become very hot when charged almost reach 100 % and will shut down itself. Then I need to off the power and let it cool down first before I can on the phone back. Please help me to solve this problem. Thanks.

Hi Limfromsi,
It is normal to an extent for the iPhone to get warm during charging. If your iPhone is currently in a case, you may want to try charging it without one and see if the issue occurs, as the design of the iPhone uses the exterior of the device as a cooling surface. For more information about iPhones and temperature, you may find the following article helpful:

If you continue to have issues with your iPhone in the default config (no case, using the included original cable and power adapter), you may want to have your phone evaluated for service. The following page may be of use:

After 2 weeks my Iphone 4s shuts down by itself and I cannot turn it on. What can I do. Itunes is telling me to restore the phone but the phone is saying the software isn't available

My Iphone 4s shut down by itself after a phone call and I cannot turn it on. I took it to istore and they said it was unrespinsive and there is nothing they can do? Anyone has a clue what can be done? When I connect the phone to itunes it indicates that the phone should be restored, however when i try to restore it, it says the "software for this iphone is not currently available" Is there anything I can do other than put this brand new iphone in the grabage?

On computer, at the top of this page is a Tab for iTunes, click it, make sure iTunes is up to date. Also make sure computer Fire Wall and Anti Virus do not interfere with iTunes, turn them OFF to be certain.

IPhone 4s shut down by itself at battery 10%, what's wrong ?

Not the first time did I encounter this problem that iPhone 4s shut down automatically by itself at battery 6%-10%.
Does anyone have this issue so far?
Thanks

it will at 10% ... something about it needs the xtra reserve..so when you plug it in it wakes back up right away, but if you let it drain tofar, it takes minutes to get enough charge to wake back up.
Hope thats right ??

Iphone 3gs shuts down & reboots on its own.

The 2 yr old iphone 3gs shuts down on its own and the silver apple icon pops up ~ the phone boots itself up. This has been happening more frequently, since Dec 2010. I could be on the internet, or using any app and it does this. A couple times I had to simutaneously hold down the power and home buttons to turn on the phone, and, or, unfreeze the phone. I always charge my phone, and regularly sync it with the latest upgrade(s). What is going on?

I had this, but I have now rectified the issue. It's an app?
I de-selected all my apps and just left the standard ones on.
I did a full restore from backup but did not sync any apps.
Problem solved, no more dropped calls. No more apple logo for no reason.
I am slowly re-adding my apps, 1 or 2 at a time, I have over 150 so it may take a while but so far I have reloaded about 10 of my most used ones and still everything fine. I will find the one that caused the problem eventually!!
Happy bunny again though, as I have a phone that can actually make a call for more than 5 minutes!!

Why does iPhone 5 shuts down in 2 C degrees? This should be inside operating temperature limits?

Hello,
Why does iPhone 5 shuts down with +2 C (celsius) degrees outside? This should be inside operating temperature limits? I´m living in Estonia and I was using iPhone 5 approximately 1 hour with +2 C (celsius) outside. Suddenly it just powered itself off with 25% of remaining battery. I was not able to switch it on again before warming it up inside the house.
I´ve been reading lots of similar complaints regarding other customers iPhone 5-s. Seems that the problem may be the aluminium back cover and thin, large-surfaced battery cause older iPhones are operating with same temperature just fine. Do you have any plan to fix this issue in the future?
Best regards,
Silver Siilak

You're not speaking to Apple, just your fellow users. The specs say it's good down to 0°C... sounds like you have a hardware problem, likely battery. Contact Apple, it's still under warranty.
Hint: NEVER put your personal info in a public forum. Edit your post to remove this info. Also, I'll ask the moderators to do it if you can't.

Iphone 4 shuts down automatically even when rebooting with the home and power keys

Please help
Thanx

My iphone 4s shuts down automatically

My new iphone 4s shuts down by itself. Sometimes it starts up again and other times it just stays off. Should I just take it back to the Apple store while it is still under warranty?

My iphone keeps shutting down randomly. Ever since I installed IO7

My iphone keeps shutting down randomly. 3-7 times a day. Ever since I installed IO7. How do I fix or reinstall IO6?

Hey Kaylyn07,
Thanks for the question. The following article may help in troubleshooting Kernal Panic’s for OS X:
OS X: When your computer spontaneously restarts or displays "Your computer restarted because of a problem."
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4636
In most cases, kernel panics are not caused by an issue with the Mac itself. They are usually caused by software that was installed, or a problem with connected hardware.
To help avoid kernel panics, install all available software updates until Software Update reports, "Your software is up to date." OS X updates help your Mac handle the kinds of issues that can cause kernel panics, such as malformed network packets, or third party software issues. For most kernel panics, updating your software is all you have to do.
Diagnosing a recurring kernel panic can be difficult. If you need help with this process, consider bringing your Mac to a Genius at an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for help. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store, you can make a reservation (available in some countries only).
Thanks,
Matt M.
