Iphone 4S: Shuts down while charging

My brand new 4S shuts down and starts up every 5 minutes while charging. Batteryindicator is also stuck but is updated after the device is rebooted. Suggestions? Scrap it, wait for software updates or ship it for repair?

It went from bad to worse. After a reset it shuts down and starts up continously even without the chargingcabel connected, until it is turned off by the slider and started again. Nothing changed to the battery indicator either.
It is now returned to the dealer for repair.

  • Does the Trophy ever shut down while charging??

    Got a Trophy back in May, loved it, then it started having a few issues. The very first time I went to charge it, I noticed that it wouldn't shut off. If I held down the power button while it was plugged in, it would turn off, but as soon as I let go, it would turn right back on. Same thing if it was turned off before I plugged it in. Usually, the only time I turn off a phone is while it's charging, so this was a bit inconvenient. I let it go, since it wasn't a major problem. My phone had been damaged slightly right after I received it, so I thought maybe it was related.
    Yesterday, I went into one of the local Verizon stores (we have three) to inquire about getting a diagnostic on my phone due to some other issues, and they just decided to send me a replacement. Today, I received it, and I plugged in my new one to charge it, and lo and behold, it does the same thing - no shut-off while charging. Is this a programming quirk of Windows Phone 7? Is this an issue with the Trophy that other Windows Phones don't have? Does my charger have a problem? Anybody in the know?

    Yup, par for the course. Why do you need it to off while charging? Perhaps get a separate battery charger and do it that way?

  • IPhone 5 shuts down while still having more than 15% battery remaining

    I've been using my iPhone 5 for a while and a few months back it started to shut down when it still had 10% battery remaining.
    I tried to send it to repair while it still had coverage but they told me that my phone was OK and that with the iOS 7 update it would get better. They also told me that it was a normal behavior, and this was supposed to happen if the remaining battery wasn't enough for the phone to operate (e.g. if there was an opened app needing a lot of power). So, since then I always close the apps that I'm not using but this hasn't solved anything.
    Since I updated, the issue has just gotten worse. Now it's shutting down when it has 15%-20% battery.
    Does anyone else has had the same issue?

    Most likely faulty battery. If you have convenient Apple Store, make reservation and then go and ask for free quick battery diagnositic testing. Also refer them to your previous attempt to take care of this while still under Warranty.

  • Shutting down while charging

    Hi,
    I've been using my Z3 compact since Nov, but starting yesterday, it has been shutting down after around 30 mins of charging. I did a repair using the Sony PC Companion but it didnt solve the issue. When I tried to plug it to my PC again, it restarted and kept showing the Sony splash screen, and now it cant turn on. Any one else got this problem?

    If Pcc didn't help you may have a hardware issue my advise would be to contact Sony Xperia Support and see what they say.

    my iphone 4s shutting down with 20% charge

    Hello klmcholden,
    The following article provides some useful troubleshooting steps that can help restore proper function to your iPhone.
    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 LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 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.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • My iPhone 4 shut down in the middle of a conversation and won't restart or charge. Any suggestions? The nearest Apple store is hours away from where I live.

    My iPhone 4 shut down in the middle of a conversation and won't restart or charge now. Any suggestions? The nearest Apple store is hours away and I depend on my phone to stay in constant touch with my child's specialist.

    I've tried that several times. It will not reset. The screen just stays black. I've never had this problem before. It usually resets the first time.

  • What do i do if my iphone just shuts down out of no where and wont turn back on or even charge?

    ok so my iPhone 4s shut down out of no where about 38 minutes ago. I had just gotten off the phone and gotten into my car when I saw the black screen. I thought it just locked like it normally did, so I clicked the power button but nothing happened. then I held the power button longer, thinking it must be dead, but again nothing happened. So, I put it in the charger and again, nothing showed up. I had recently updated to the new IOS8 earlier this morning and found nothing wrong. everything was working perfectly fine until now. If anyone has suggestions or knows how to fix this, I'm up for advice.

    Plug it in to a power outlet so it is sure to be powered, then do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if tht appears.

  • Iphone overheats and shuts down when charging ?

    hello,
    since i have had my iphone 4s replace in april my iphone overheats and shuts down when charging?
    can anyone help?

    My 4S has recently shut down twice so far due to heat: Once in 100+ deg. in Arizona, when I left the phone in direct sunlight too long (that'll kill anything), and once just today, 96 deg. in Colorado, with the phone in my shirt chest pocket, not in direct sunlight. Each time, the phone was also encased in the hermetically sealed "Lifeproof" case, which probably contributed to heat build-up. If you're using a similar case with yours, either make sure to keep the phone in a cooler, shaded area, or just take it out of the case when the temps are this high. Definitely don't leave it in direct sunlight! In my case, although the 4S seems more heat-sensitive than my previous iPhones, I still find this behavior within acceptable parameters. But I wonder whether the overheating episodes might cause permanent damage...?

  • My iPhone 5 shuts down with a 10% charge remaining, is there a fix?

    After my recent software upgrade my iPhone 5 shuts down with 10% charge remaining. This has never happened before. Is there a fix?

    The battery gauge probably needs to be recalibrated. It "thinks" there is more charge in the battery than the battery thinks there is.
    When it shuts off charge for just a minute or two, then restart (hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears). Deliberately run the battery down until the phone shuts off at 1%. If it shuts off above 1% repeat the above until you get to 1%. Then charge for 4 hours with the wall adapter without using the phone. This process will recalibrate the battery gauge.
    To prevent this from happening again about once a month run the battery all the way down to 1%, then continue until the phone shuts off. Apple recommends this in their battery help article, but they don't say why you should do it. The have some hokum about "keeping the electrons moving." Honestly! The iPad battery tip gives the correct reason.

  • My PC shuts down while synchronising with my iPhone.

  • My iphone 4 shuts down now and then battery is charged

    since one week, my Iphone 4 shuts down now and then (randomly). then  I have to push the top button to restart (apple sign) and after 1-2 minutes, its running again with unlocked sim. Can anyone tell me how to fix this. (my iphone 4 is 4 years old and i'm attached to it..) kind regards

    Hi Asem,
    From your post I see that your iPhone 4 is unexpectedly shutting down while you're using it.  To help resolve this issue please follow the directions outlined below.
    If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it
    You might see this unexpected behavior on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you have an older version of iOS. These steps can help. 
    Make sure that your device is up to date and your apps are up to date. If you still see this issue after updating, contact Apple Support.
    Learn what to do if your device won't start up past Apple logo or doesn't respond.
    If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
    Have a good one,
    Alex H.

  • HT2188 my iphone 4s shut down quickly after charging why?

    my iphone 4s shut down quickly after charging why?

    Most likely due to faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.
