IPhone 5 dies randomly

My iPhone 5 will die but randomly and when I plug it back in it will be 20% or more. also the other day it was at 75% I used google maps for a minute or less, it dropped 40% to 35% and that 35% lasted about 3 hours, how can I fix this

Basics from the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Try each in succession until your problem is solved.

IPhone dies randomly and in the cold

My (certified pre-owned) iPhone 5 dies at random percentages (mostly at 30%) and at the most inconvenient times. It also dies in the cold and in New England this gets frustrating fast. Is there any way to fix it or get the battery replaced (if it is damaged) (possibly without having to pay for someone else’s mistake)?

Thank you, diesel vdub! I'll give that a try.
To reply to your response, we both woke up to his phone ringing with a call from my phone on the other side of the bed :/! When I checked my phone it had dialed him and two minutes prior a shopping application customer support number which I haven't looked at in over a month. I'm glad it didn't call any other friends or family, but I really need to get it corrected before that happens. Just creepy!

Iphone 4s dies randomly

My iphone 4s dies randomly even if im 100% especially if i try using an app other than messaging or if i try using the internet, if it doesn't die then it always dies around 73-80% sometimes it wont last more than 1 hour, any ideas? When it dies it wont turn back on till i charge it again or will randomly turn on for a minute then die again

Have you reset your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen comes up, see if that helps the situation.
Also, are you running any apps from 3rd party websites that may be causing your issue? Is your device jailbroken? Are you running any sort of Anti-Virus software? All of these things will affect the performance of your device.

My iPhone 3Gs randomly shutting off at any given moment. I could be in the middle of a text, a call, or doing some games and it'll just shut off. Now here's the unique part. When I go to turn it back on, the apple loading screen pops up but it takes some

My iPhone 3Gs randomly shutting off at any given moment. I could be in the middle of a text, a call, or doing some games and it'll just shut off.
Now here's the unique part. When I go to turn it back on, the apple loading screen pops up but it takes somewhere from 3-5 minutes for it to boot up. Then the lock screen with the time and whatnot shows up. From this point on, my iPhone has a chance to shut itself back down and I have to repeat the process over and over again. Most of the time the lock screen flashes and then goes straight to black (shut down) but sometimes I can make it a few menus before it shuts itself down.
The only way to keep the iPhone on is to plug it into a charger of any sort. I'm fairly certain it isn't a battery charge issue because this happens at any % of power and sometimes my iPhone can use up all of its charge and not have this happen while other times I can be at 90-100% and it could randomly shut itself down. What can I do in this situation if some has some solution to this problem please let me know on [email protected] Thanks!

Not sure if this Term is Relevant towards an iPhone but, my iPhone won't Post unless if it's plugged into a Charger.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

My iPhone 4s randomly shut off last night and won't come back on. what do i do?

My iPhone 4s randomly turned off last night and it won't come back on. It shut off with plenty of battery life last night, but just in case, I've had it plugged into the charger all night. Still nothing has happened. Any advice?

hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release.

Iphone has randomly been bricking

For some reason my iphone on random occasions produces a black screen almost like the phone has been locked excpet no buttons work and the only way to reboot it to plug the phone into a power source. Another odd thing the phone does sometimes when it gets into brick mode is I plug it in to the power the phone doesnt even reboot the screen just flashes white and comes back to where I was such as the homescreen without a reboot. I have tried a full restore and it seemed to have helped for awhile but then the issue reoccurred. Does any know if this is a common issue and if its due to hardware or software?

Was the phone ever back up to iCloud?

HT201401 my iPhone 5 randomly switched itself when somebody was calling me and now won't turn on. it had 90% battery, I've tried factory reset, connecting to iTunes and nothing works. the phone is approx 18 months old so surprise surprise out of warranty.

My 5S just started doing this on Thursday: every fraction of a second or so it oscillates between connecting and disconnecting with the charger (USB or wall, doesn't matter). Since it's still under the limited warrantee, I took it to the local Mac dealer (I live in a small town w/out an Apple store) and they shipped it off. I'm waiting now for the replacement--telephonless, too!
What concerns me is that many people seem to be having this issue.
You were right to be suspicious of the Apple store employees. Once they replicated the behavior that you experienced, they should have immediatly offered to exchange your phone. Anything else, in my opinion, is unacceptable. As long as your phone is still doing it, I'd go back, ask for the manager and tell them to exchange your phone.

Help my iPhone 3GS randomly shuts down, what is wrong?, Help my iPhone 3GS randomly shuts down, what is wrong?

My iPhone 3GS randomly shuts down for no reason, and apparently I am not the only person having a problem with this. This happens regardless of how much battery life my phone shows, or whichever application I am using. IS THERE A FIX FOR THIS!!!!!!! I understand that cell phones are not built to last forever, but my phone is in to good of a condition to go out and purchase a new one.

Before you get your knickers all in a twist, try the basic troubleshooting steps Apple recommends:
Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
If you have been through ALL of the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for investigation.

My iPhone 4S randomly shuts down.

My iPhone 4S randomly shuts down, when plug it into charge. I restored, as a new iPhone and problem continues, what do I do? iPhone is 4 months old, and has no damage.

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).

Screen dies randomly - HELP !

Good evening.
My G4 PowerBook 1.67 screen dies randomly without warning .
Sometimes it seems to be related to the angle of the screen.
Sometimes it relates to moving the computer.
It usually resolves itself by touching any key - and the screen fires up for a while.
Sometimes it dies again after firing up.
ANY IDEAS?

Could be one of a few display support components, such as the display inverter, among others. The parts may vary somewhat depending on the build model series PowerBook G4 15" you have. There are several models listed at iFixit.com so you'd need to further detail to identify the correct one before looking serious to compare components, & methods of troubleshooting may be a little different when the parts vary. Not so much, to an expert.
There may be more than one issue behind the existing symptoms; at times, going into a portable computer to DIY fix one thing may create new problems.
In the aluminum series, there are two 1.67GHz models...
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/PowerBook_G4_Aluminum_15%22
Most portable Macs eventually may get a winking screen or fluctuation in brightness when the display is moved at different angles, as they age. Some were better made to compensate for wear, others maybe not so much. Plus components on the board that do not move, also may be acting up.
So that would a be place to look, in addition to sites such as everymac.com, and a few other specialist sites where they offer repaired older Macs, most parts, and perhaps have a complete modern service facility.
Good luck & happy computing!

Iphone 5 randomly vibrates with no notifications in iOS 7.1

My iPhone 5 randomly vibrates with no notifications and no sound ever since the 7.1 update. Has this happened to anyone else?

This happens to me too. Normally when it is off, a few minutes after it turns off it randomly vibrates. I have an iPhone 5 32GB Black.

Iphone screen randomly turned off???

Hi, my iphone 4 randomly turned off a few hours ago, it is not being recognised on itunes and it won't charge at all. To make matters worse, the home button has been broken for several months. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

You're going to need a functioning home button in order to fix this. Take it to an Apple Store.

My iphone 4 randomly dials people in my contact list.

My iphone 4 randomly dials people in my contact list. Any suggestions? It may be people in my Favorites list.

My wife's phone does this, as well as delete apps...it's because she doesn't bother to lock the phone when she puts it in her purse by tapping the sleep/wake button. Not saying this is the case with you, but I've seen this before & that's the reason why.

IPhone 4 randomly notifying and over 20MB message no longer appearing.

Hi I have been having a few issues with my iPhone 4 since I upgraded to iOS 5.0.1. First and most annoying is that my iPhone now randomly and for no reason at all, makes the notification sound and vibration (or text message sound). It has happen at all different hours of the day and night with no message or notification appearing afterwards. The second problem I have is that I normally keep wifi off, so normally when I try to download or update an app that is over 20MB, the iPhone notifies me that it won't download those files unless I connect to wifi, but continues with the smaller files. After the upgrade this no longer happens. Instead the iPhone tries to download the file, fails, and no longer notifies me of the over 20MB message nor does it continue to download the smaller files unless I individually select those smaller updates to download.
I have tried a full restore and have tried a setting reset but nothing has worked so far. Is anyone else having this problem or know how to correct it?
Thanks

I have an iphone 3GS at 5.0 and it does the same thing. For no reason a notification sound will be heard without any notifications in the menu. This has started when once my alarm sound for 1 hour before stopping by itselft. I don't know if it is related...
