IPhone 4S turns off close to low battery.
My IPhone 4S will be showing around 10% battery life remaining but will shut down before it's depleated. Is anyone else having this problem? What did you do to fix it?
Thanks
There are 50+ pages in a discussion of this issue in another thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4310494?start=0&tstart=0
There are a number of useful suggestions among the many rants and conspiracy theories about the battery issue.

My iphone 4S Black 16 GB with IOS 7.0.4 turns off randomly in low battery less than 15% and also when I am taking pictures from my front camera in low battery of 30%. This is happening very often. Can someone help here with advise? The phone is slightly more than 2 years bought from singapore I live in India
Either your battery is failing or your battery gauge needs to be recalibrated. Start by recalibrating:
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 charger 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.
If this does not resolve the problem you most likely need a new battery. If you are near an Apple store take the phone in and they can test the battery for you. -

My iPhone randomly turns off by itself with battery remaining. I can turn it on the by hard restart. But sometimes it turns on at fifth, sixth, or more try. did anyone have this problem? and how can I fix it?
When my phone was off it wouldn't connect to iTunes, i got it working now though. I just had to hold my lock button and my home button down long enough. Thanks anyways though!

Im not happy with this as its brand new and my old one seemed to have the same problem ??? DO

My 3GS turned off with a low battery, and now will not turn on
I have charged it fully, tried hard restarting, tried plugging it into my computer, tried pressing the home button while plugging it into the computer etc.
My question is really about how to contact apple in regards to getting it fixed. This is a replacement phone and it did not come with a warranty (or more accurately, I was too late to renew the old warranty when I got it). However if it had come with a warranty, it would have been within the warranty period (8 months). To me this gives an implied warranty on workmanship and parts. I live in regional Australia which makes going into my local apple store a little difficult, and I don't want to have to pay for tech support for them to tell me that I should try restarting it.
End rant.Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

2 day old iphone 5s turns off at 95% battery life and will not turn back on. HELP
So I had an iphone 4s for two years, the battery started to not last as long, so with my upgrade I got the iphone 5s (greatttt). Anyways I had it for a month then all of a sudden I wasn't getting calls, it took over a minute for me to even get a call to send, then once I was on the call others couldn't hear me well, then it would drop (no problems with service, always happened with full bars). Brought it to Apple store, they told me it was a combination between the phone and my SIM card. They gave me a new one and recommended I go to verizon to get a new SIM card. That same day literally 3 hours later, the phone turned off randomly at 65% battery and WOULD NOT turn back on. I had to go back to the apple store, they restored my phone and almost gave me another new one. However they tested the battery and everything and came to the conclusion it was okay and that I needed to restore the phone and set it up as if I did not already have an iphone (not use icloud to bring EVERYTHING over) So we did that and it started to work, that was two days ago. Over the course of the last two days I have SLOWLY downloaded my previous APPS, however the only way to download those are to do it from the "cloud" because apparently I can't just get them from the app store. Well yesterday I got the blue screen of death, however it came back, I thought nothing except that it was over worked. Tonight it went down to 1%, I left it on the charger until it was at 96%. I had NO APPS open. Went to my calendar and added a event for tomorrow, put my phone down and then ten minutes later looked at it and its turned off. It will not turn on, I tried rebooting pressing both buttons, Ive plugged it back it, switched outlets, switched cords, NOTHING.
Of course I wish I never got the iphone 5s at this point.
What now?
Back to Apple again?Yep.
Just like cars, you lucked on a lemon. -
I am working with Georgia DOT and we have created an app to track our state vehicles using IPhone 5. My question is: will an iPhone automatically turn off location services? If it goes below a certain battery power level, and if so how do you disable this in settings.
Message was edited by: mickyelI don't believe that this will happen, however, the entire iPhone will shut down when the iPhone reaches the auto-shutdown power level. There is no way to turn that Off other that connecting the iPhone to power.

IPhone 3gs turns off while having 60-80% battery
hello, iphone 3gs turns off while there is enough battery to be consumed. Round about 60 to 80 percent battery is more enough to keep alive an iphone for a whole day long. what suggestion you recommend, help asap......
You could try to disconnect and after a few minutes reconnect the battery. That theoretically resets the phone BIOS and is supposed to help regarding the reboot issue (see post by NIKKOH007) http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2471090&start=2055&tstart=30
Or replace the battery altogether with a newer, iOS 4 compatible battery. At iFixit.com they have come to the conclusion that not all batteries in the 3GS are necessarily iOS4.x compatible or a battery defect may be exposed after updating.

Iphone 4 keeps turning off even though its battery shows 100%
My iphone keeps turning off although the battery is 100%. I cant turn it on because it shows that my iphone does not have any battery left. When i plug it in the computer/charge it, it turns on and shows 100%. It has never happened to me before and it just randomly had this problem today. Please help.
This is most likely faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

My iphone 4 turned off yesterday very randomly. I had 88% battery when it turned off. I plugged it into the wall and it said i had no battery, then the apple came up as if it was turning on. It went black again and this keeps repeating over and over. Any help please ?
Battery could be at EOL. Try getting it replaced.

4 hours ago my iphone randomly turned off and now i cant get it to turn back on. Ive tried everything, trying to reset it, charging it but nothing works! the charging symbol doesnt even come up when i plugged in the charger. Please help!
Hello there, LaruaGalliers.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great troubleshooting steps for your issue:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Particularly:
Battery does not charge
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
iPhone or iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
If you see the image below, charge the iPhone or iPod touch with USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.
You should see this image when iPhone or iPod touch begins to charge:
If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning the iPhone or iPod touch off and then on again.
If the issue persists, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
