IPhone 4S shuts down without running out of battery

I'm using my iPhone 4S for exactly 10 months now, restored it once (as a new device).
Lately it's shutting itself off occasionnaly: Twice when it had 25% battery, and today it did it again when 45%... Showing me the red dead battery sign when I try to turn it on immediately. It goes back to normal after 10 to 15 minutes.
It's pretty annoying. Is that a common issue? Is there anyone who noticed the same situtation?

Hi!
Thank you for your reply,
I finally got my iPhone replaced with a new one at the Apple Store in Geneva. Unlike Apple's online support, geniuses do a great job helping and solving the issue.
I'll have small a question for you: You're saying you encountered this battery 3times (must be exhausting), and they replaced it each time, what do you do about the 1 year varranty? When they replaced my iPhone they said it doesn't come with a fresh full 1year international varranty. Did you buy extra varranty time?
Because mine expires next month, I really should buy a pack right?
Thank you for your help,
Hope you can 'settle' w your 4th phone :)

    you should avoid keeping it in extreme temperatures, use it as little as possible, and avoid overcharging which means that you should unplug your iphone as soon as it hits 100% battery

    My iPhone 3GS gets warm and runs out of battery.
    No change if I reboot the phone. The only thing that works is to reinstall the phone in iTunes, but the problem soon comes back.

  • PowerBook G4 shuts down without warning even when battery is over 60%

    My powerbook has started to shut down without any warning - even if the battery is over 60% charged. The battery is the second (being sent free by apple under the replacement programme). I cannot restart until I have inserted the power cable.
    I have tried to reset the PMU - but, following the instructions from apple support ('after shut down simultaneously press Shift - ctrl - option - power, wait 5 secs then press power button') does not work - PMU does not seem to reset. Apparently, when the PMU has been reset, the time and date change and need reseting - but this does not happen - and mine still shows the current date time after attempting a PMU reset.
    so - still the Powerbook still shuts down working on a nearly full battery. Battery info seems ok.
    I think this is a software problem - any ideas?

    Hi, Pieterrr, and welcome to Apple Discussions. No, my post above is absolutely not an official (or unofficial) statement from Apple. These are user-to-user forums. I'm just another Powerbook user like yourself; I have no connection with Apple. Apple employees very rarely post in these forums, and Apple policies are never announced here.
    What I wrote is a personal view and recommendation based on reading all the posts in the 15" Aluminum Powerbook forums for a while now. I've posted very similar comments many times before, and some (not all) owners of prematurely-old replacement batteries have succeeded in persuading Apple to replace them again after I suggested trying to do so.

  • M7-1015dx Shuts down without warning on low battery

    This happened before. I doubled checked that power options were defined correctly and they are.  However, when the battery got to a certain point, the screen went black, no warning. PC did not hibernate, it just shut down with no messages or beeps.  Battery tests OK.  Any ideas?
    Running Windows 7

    Run the long battery test and then click on details to see what the difference betweenn design capacity and actual capacity is. 
    Run a battery calibration.
    Your actual full charge ( aka 100%) may not be as much capacity as you think it does. That would tend to cause unexpected shutdowns when the battery runs out of stored power. 
    Update the BIOS to the latest version available at Driver download section of the web support portal for your notebook's operating system.

  • My iphone 4s shuts down automatically when it's battery percentage is fine.

    my iphone 4s automatically shuts down when it has about 50% or more battery life left. when i try to turn it back on it pops up with the low battery symbol. about 5 minutes later i can turn it back on again and the battery will be fine. each time this has happened i have been outside. i have drained the battery and then charged it and i have reset the factory settings. How do i stop this from happening? and do i need to buy a replacement?

    It's almost impossible to say whether it's the battery or something else.  If you're running 6.0.1 and you've done a restore and set it up as new, there are no other software updates to try.
    If there's no Apple Store near you, contact Apple Care. If  you can't wait for a replacement phone, you may be able to get an express replacement (they ship you the replacement before you ship them yours, but they will put a hold on your credit card until yours is in their hands).

    I noticed that the Full Charge Capacity is not that high compared to other macbooks. Could this be the reason why its shutting its self off? Also i copied this info while i was plugged into the AC adaptor. It also says that its fully charged but the percentage on my macbook reads 97%...
    I also installed 4GB ram in it 4 months ago and never had this problem. Could having the new ram in it be draining the battery?
    If someone could help me with this extremely annoying problem it would really be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

    I am having the same problem. I just recently noticed that my battery life was less than an hour. In the beginning, I was able to watch 3-4 complete movies while on a flight. Now, it shuts down if on batteries within 10 minutes while the Bar shows 59 minutes.

    As you can see, I have only 57 cycles on this battery. I cannot do anything on battery power only anymore. I spent all morning draining the battery to 0 (all lights on battery off) When the battery is charged and when on battery power, the computer will shut off. The battery charge indicator LEDs on the battery itself has 4 of 5 solid and 5th one blinking. The computer will not power on for about 5 minutes when on battery power only. I bought this MBP about 15 months ago. Any help would be appreciated

  • Itouch will not turn off without running out of battery

    My iTouch has been refusing to turn off easily for months now.  I push the sleep button and slide to turn off, and then a loading circle appears.  The only way to get rid of it is to allow the battery to fully run out.  I can also restore my Ipod to factory settings, but it then takes hours to restore all of my information.  This ipod has never been jailbroken, and otherwise seems to run smoothly, although it often experiences sync errors, which is why I want to turn it off in the first place. 

    you may have software glitches, but as for your touch, you can force it off, by holding the power and home button until it turns off. cuts the power. itll still turn on but its off now isnt it?

  • IPhone 5 shuts down without warning

    My iphone 5?will power down even when fully charged, for not apparent reason. Any guesses?

    Reset the phone
    See if that solves the issue
    If not - back up to iTunes and restore as new - see if the issue recurs before you restore from backup

  • IPhone 5 shuts down with the battery at 40%

    I'm having issues with my iPhone 5. It regularly shuts down with the battery being far from 0%. When I took it to the apple store, a "genius" said that the battery is fine and restored the phone to the factory settings. I set it up as new without touching the backup (with iOS 8), but the iPhone keeps shutting down with a half charged battery. If anythings, the problem only became worse with iOS 8.1. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to fix it.
    The iPhone is out of the warranty and is not eligible for battery replacement. Another issue I have is that the home button often responds with a delay, but I don't know if it's related to the main problem.
    Thanks

  • Powerbook shuts down when running on battery

    I got this problem only lately int these lasts months... my powerbook g4 15" is almost 3 years old.
    I first noticed that the battery endurance is more and more reducing...it lasts more or less 20 minutes from when I unplug it form the power-net.
    And that's only "the bright side" of the problem: because more and more often I'm getting the powerbook (always when it is running on battery alone) shutting down without any warning with battery indicator still full...
    that's really wired.. it is really running me mad...
    I found some other topic on the forum... but none of them helped me getting the clue on what's happening to my powerbook
    do you think that doing a reset to the battery will sort things out?
    thanks you very much in advance I hope someone can help me...
    powerbook g4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Sadly I think the last coment is right. After so many charges (500-1,000) the battery dies. I had the exact same thing happen to another brand of laptop when its battery died. Replaced it and it works great again. Sorry to say but rechargable batteries don't last forever.

  • Since iOS7, iPhone 5 shuts down with no batter, but shows 30%+ once I plug it in

    My iPhone batter life has gotten markedly worse since upgrading to iOS7. And now it has this annyoing habit of shutting down, as if out of battery, when plugging it in reveals 30% plus charge on batter when it restarts. I am not sure what i need to do here. This is less than a year old, and I am now at least another year plus on my ATT contract before I can get a new one.
    Any suggestions?
    Are there services I should be turning off to extend batter life. I know after upgrade BlueTooth was reenabled, so I shut that down, but I am not sure how resolve this issue.
    I have done a complete reinstall, but that does not seem to do a lot. May be better for a day or two, but that might just be my wishful thinking.
    Any suggestions are appreciated.

    In response to the other posts, I have not had any issue with the battery until the update to IOS7 and I have been using the phone for over a year.   I am not suprised that the store would say the battery was bad, the phone thinks it is and shuts down.   I do not know what plugging it in does for the phone, but after I plugged it in for just a few minutes it lasted for several hours.   it was not that the battery was dead, but how the camera works with the system on IOS7.   I do not know if taking a picture and saving it while using the flash cause a large draw etc, but whatever it is the system then thinks the battery is dead when it isnt.    The hard part is once you apply power it will go away and there is no way to verify the issue.   Even if it is weaker battery it should not just shut off with 20% power and then not work until power is applied.   The battery is not dead as it has worked for several hours afterward.   I have not used the camera in those cases for fear of losing my phone until I could get to a power cord.  I am not aware of it happening twice in a row, but I will test it next time I am near a power cord after it dies.   I would also concur, that this is a quick failure for the battery also as the phone is just over a year old.

  • PB G4 Shuts Down without warning

    Hi everyone,
    Recently I have noticed that my PB G4 (1.5 Ghz with OS 10.4.11) will randomly shut down without warning. The battery bar on the top right of my screen will not be in the red zone when this happens. I have also noticed that when I do reboot my laptop that I get a warning that my Date and Time are set to before 2001 which apparently will screw things up. But when I check them, they are set to today's date.
    Can anyone help me please?
    Thanks in advance,
    Bettina

    Hi, bettina. Before replacing your clock battery, test it as described in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=30017
    This may confirm that it's bad, or may encourage you to focus on finding the problem elsewhere.
    What suggests that the battery is bad is the fact that your clock is wrong at startup. If your Date & Time options include obtaining the correct time from a network time server and your computer is connected to the internet all the time, that explains why the clock is reset to the correct time very soon after starting up.

  • 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 ??

  • My iPhone 4s shuts down Frequently

    Please Help.........My Iphone 4s shuts down frequently even when the battery is at 70%.....how do i overcome this problem....thx

    Hi there naushdxb,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    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.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
