IPhone 4S switches off at low battery levels

Hello everyone,
My iPhone 4S with less than 2 years is having problems. It powers off when it reaches (not so) low battery levels. It happened at as high as 16% of battery, and although it mostly happens when I try to open apps like Facebook or the Camera, it has happened also with stuff like the Phone app. It gets even worse, because although it still has more than 10% battery charge, the only way to power it up again is by pluging it to the transformer.
Could this be battery related or is this a know iOS issue? I have been really careful with the battery since day one, so I would expect not to have such problems. It's really annoying, because I now have 85% of battery usage, not 100%, and I never know when it's going to power off next.
Can anyone relate to this? Any suggestions about what I should try to fix it?
I'm on the latest update of iOS 7.
Thanks a lot!

The best way to test the battery and make sure the level being displayed is as correct as it can be is to let the battery die completely, then plug it in to charge to 100% without using it. After that, see when it powers off. You can also make an appointment at the Genius Bar at Apple or your Authorized Apple Service Provider and they can test your battery.

Hello s0ha1b
If all you get is the Apple logo and it powering off, then the next step is to put your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. If you have a back up, then you can put that on there to once the restore is complete.
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

Go to itunes and restore your phone from backup, make sure you have a recent backup in itunes of your phone first.

Let's the next step would be to restore your IOS but make sure you backup first http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
if that doesn't help then restore your phone as new and see if your battery still drains.

IPhone 3G switches off automatically

My iphone 3G switches off automatically when the carrier GSM signal is very low. Has anybody faced this problem? If so please let me know about the possible solution. Thanks.

No, it never works no matter where I am, its stuck. I haven't had 3G no matter where I've been for over a month now. I am sitting right next to other iphone users whose phone is on 3G with good signal strength (same iphone 3g and sw I'm running). It's always gotten 3G at my house, now it never stays on. I'm running the most recent SW. In Network settings I can switch it on, but the second I leave the screen it switches off. So annoying because I get feedback from computers and tv and it's SLOW!

Sounds like a dead battery. Try plugging it into a charger.

Iphone getting switched off..

My iphone 4s was mistakenly kept in freezer..
when i took it out of freezer it ws switched off so i used dryer to stable its temp.
since that day it gets switched off whenevr its battery reaches 80..
nd whn i try to switch it on it shws that its is not charged and as soon i connect the charger and my iphone gets on the battery shows 80% nd so..
So please give me some advice about what to do..am using it from 2 years..

That could be a symptom of the battery going bad.

Hardware problem.

Iphone 4 switches off

my iphone 4 switches off when i insert the sim. dont know what to do??

Just want to inform you, that you are not alone. I wish to report the same problem. My brand new iPhone4 can not be switched on in the normal way. I have to press the on/off button and the home button for 10 sec. Phone restarts with the apple logo, than operates normally as long as i keep it awake. When i switch it off, it can be switched on for only 1 min. After 1 min it can not be switched on again, it has to be restarted by pressing the on/off button for 10 sec to restart it from scratch. This must be a serious hardware/software problem. Phone is not usable, I have to return it to the provider (T-Mobil Germany).
