IPhone 4S sudden shut down

My barely-a-week-out-of-the-box, fully charged, power-on iPhone 4S was unresponsive when I went to check it today. I tried holding the home button, no dice; I tried holding the power button, no dice; then the power+home prolonged hold worked in restoring the device. Are there any ideas why this may have happened to a brand new iPhone? Admittedly I had way too many unnecessary apps up and running and I've since closed them down. I assume having so many things transmitting at once can affect performance, but can it result in random collapse of the system?

how are you shuting it down, if you are holding the sleep/wake button and home to power den the dvice then you are actully reseting the phone, not powering it off... to power off hold down the sleep/wake button for 5 seconds, then the slide to power off message will come up.

IPhone 4S Suddenly Shut Down And Everything Is Erased

My was texting when my iPhone 4S suddenly shut down and reboot. Onced it was rebooted, the phone's data is gone.
- All contacts are gone
- All photos are gone
- All apps I installed are gone
- All text messages are gone
- iOS stays in 6 (upgraded from 5 to 6 last week)
Do anyone have this experience before?

Hi FrankAtCommunit,
That definitely sounds strange and I haven't seen any other customers go through this experience. I have listed this experience to Apple so they can advise if they've had other reports. I suggest that if you had a backup on iCloud or iTunes, you restore your phone to get that data back. Let us know if this gets your content.
Thank you,

When i opened my gmail account on iphone it suddenly shuts down ... this is really a worried situation for me

when ii opened my gmal account it suddenly shuts down every time

The screen is glass. Go to any phone forum where the ecreen is a glass touch screen and you will find similar complaints. It is not just an iPhone "problem" but any phone wilth a glass display.
There is a good chance any phone will crack if dropped. Price does not matter.

My iPhone shut down and will not come back on. Can anyone give me an answer on how to correct this problem?

Connect to a wall outlet so you have solid power, then do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.

IPhone 5 suddenly shut down and can not reboot it

My iPhone5 suddenly closed and I can't even reboot it
The power button is a little bit out of function, but I tried hundred times, but still not reaction.
I also tried to recharge the battery, but the screen shows nothing, it doesn't like the regular charging the battery charging pic usually show on the screen

That should work. If it does not try an SMC Reset.

Just a quick update with a couple more details before I go to work:
I left my phone plugged into the wall charger all night long but the Apple logo is still blinking on and off. However, when unplugged from the charger, the screen goes blank and the unit does not respond to pressing/holding the buttons at all. Likewise, flipping the mute switch does not cause the phone to vibrate as it normally would, which made me wonder if power was being disrupted somewhere else in the unit before the battery. I just finished disassembling the unit down to the battery, looked for any loose connections etc., and did spot a suspicious looking spot on top of the #5 ribbon connector that I had not taken notice of before in my first disassembly. I'll take a picture of it and post a link for your consideration later on today when I have a spare moment, although I fear the worst.

This is most often due to faulty battery. Apple Genius can perform a quick several minute battery diagnostic test. Make Genius Reservation.

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps for unexpected power off issues found in the article below.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
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?
Contact Apple Support.

My iphone suddenly shut down when i turn on cellular mode

My iphone 4 using ios 7.0.6 . Everytime i turn on the cellular mode, it suddenly shut down. I turn it on and it will be on for few second then the apple logo appears again and shut down, everytime. The way to keep using it now i change the airplane mode (need to hurry when it on for seconds) and it will run normally. I use wifi only to keep using it. My iphone 4 turn out to be ipod now. Somebody know how to fix it? Is it might be hardware or can i just connect to itunes and reset it to factory setting? I need help. Thanks.

I just upgrade the iOS 7.1.1 but nothing works. I havent set to the factory setting yet. So when i turn off the airplane mode, it run normally and when cellular on, it dead and show the red battery icon and lightning even when the battery still 90%.

My iphone suddenly shut down and it not trun on what is the problem?, my iphone suddenly shut down and it not trun on what is the problem?

hi
i don't know why my i phone suddenly shut down and not be on at all
may u halp me ?

Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take 10 to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

My iPhone 4 suddenly shut of and it won't turn back on

my iPhone 4 suddenly shut of and it won't turn back on. when i try charging it the apple comes up but then it shuts of and a few seconds later the apple will come up again but my phone won't turn on! it hasnt been water damaged and i have tried holding down the menu and lock button for 20 seconds and even more but it wont turn on. Last night it came on for 2 minutes and then shut down randomly and wont turn on again. Any advice?

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar at Apple to have the device checked. Sounds like you may have a hardware problem.

I am having a similar odd issue. First of all this summer i took my iphone 4 to apple because my screen had quit. I could hear calls and texts coming thru but screen was unresponsive. I was a month out of warranty so the nice fella at apple gave me a 30 day warranty, then replaced my handset with a refurb. Saturday night at dinner i was on my phine and it died. I plugged it in thinking nothing of it and went to bed. When i wooe up after the charger had been on all night all i had was the black screen with the battery (red) and lightning bolt, meaning it knew it plugged in but still did nothing. So off to apple i go. They said i was out of warranty and the problem (never said what problem) would cost 170 bucks to fix. So i went and upgraded to the iphone 5 ( figured if i'm spending that anyways may as well be on a new phone). When I got home i tinkered with the old one with all the online suggestions i could find. (Cleaning ports, hard reset, putting into recovery mode, and checking indicators for water damage which there was none). Still only saw the battery symbol. I left it alone figuring i can sell off cheap and someone else can repair. Last night for kicks i plugged it in again and it came to life! It is in recovery mode (needs to be hooked to itunes to regain functionality) but showed 100% battery charge. I went to show my bf and realized an issue. If its not plugged into the wall adaptor, it wont turn on. I figured then that if i can get it plugged in and pull it up on itunes maybe it would be fine. When plugged into the computer it wont hold enough power. It thrns on shows the apple for 30 seconds, shuts off. My ending conclusion on my own is that it needs a new battery in order to be revived. Anyone think this sounds like a reasonable conclusion? Or will i be wasting money? If i can get it restored to functional, cheaply i can give to my bf (his pos lg phone is almost toast) or sell it.

HT4623 My iPhone 4S keeps shutting down after I upgraded to iOS7

My iPhone 4S keeps shutting down after I upgraded to iOS7

This has happend twice to me in the past 12 hours since I just updated to iOS 7.0.2, but did not happen after I updated to iOS 7
Last night the operating system crashed to the Apple symbol (a reset) when browsing the settings menu.
Perhaps it's a bug with the movement tracking? Seems to be connected with sudden movements (I noticed it shut off when I quickly lifted the phone up to look at the screen) - perhaps the background parallax is glitching the system to a software reset? If my problem persists I may temproarily disable the parallax to see if that mitigates the resets.
To be clear, the update to iOS 7 didn't precipitate this problem, and I updated to iOS & on the day of its release (9/18).
This used to happen to me sporadically on my iphone 4s on iOS6, usually when my battery was anywhere at 40% to 5% - though I suspect that was because I was due to re-set the battery by completely draining it.
Is anyone else having this issue with their iPhone 4S?
I'm using a Verizon iPhone 4s 64 GB, still in excellent condition.

Connect your iPhone to a power source (computer, wall charger, etc) and hold down BOTH the power AND home buttons for about 10-15 seconds. If all goes well you should get an Apple logo. Try it even if you think it won't work, and patience is key: 10 seconds is alot longer than one might think.
