IPHONE 5 keeps restarting every 5 minutes

Iphone 5 keeps restarting every 5 minutes. the screen turns black and then the apple logo shows up. does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello jonah910,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I'm sorry to hear about the issue you're having with your iPhone, I definitely see how it is a frustrating experience!
I'd like you to follow the troubleshooting in the following article to help resolve the issue:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Specifically the section under power & battery:
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 LCIs and 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.
Take care,
Alex H.

  • My Iphone 5 keeps restarting every 2-3 minutes

    My iphone 5 keeps restarting every 2-3 minutes. its never been dropped or water damaged. I can hardly use it at all. The phone is only 4 months old bought brand new. Has this happened to anyone else? how can i fix this?

    Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
    - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • Iphone 4 keeps restarting every 3 min but only when being used

    Iphone 4 keeps restarting every 3 min but only when being used, it doesn't matter what I do with it, it has to restart itself during usage, it's so annoying. I have restored but still no luck, currently trying to update the software once I've finished downloading it but I know it will keep restarting when connected to itunes.
    Anyways when I do decided to bring it to the apple store would I need to bring the receipt with me?
    because i dont have it anymore only the phone, box charger and usb
    thanks

    Anyways when I do decided to bring it to the apple store would I need to bring the receipt with me?
    No. The warranty is tied to the device, not the individual & all iphone 4's are still under warranty.

  • My phone keeps restarting every 5 minutes. how do i make it stop

    my phone keeps restarting every 5 minutes. how do i make it stop

    Try to sync you phone with iTunes to create a new backup before it restarts.  Also try to import your photos (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts if you can (sync them to iCloud in Settings>iCloud>Contacts>On or use an app like My Contact Backup).  When done, force you phone into recovery mode and restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

  • Since installing the ios5 my iphone3gs keeps restarting every 3 minutes. can anyone help please

    since turning my phone on this morning its restarted itself every 3 minutes. ive tried holding the power and home button together to restore it but nothing happened and ive also tried 2 restore factory setting via itunes but the phone just restarts as its attempting 2 restore. its an absolute joke with how much the phones cost and yet it f##ks up all the time

    Okay, I've now done yet another software restore but this time I also deleted a bunch of apps and only kept the essential stuff. I'm hoping that has fixed it because, not only do I currently have my phone back (the phone has stopped rebooting itself every few minutes) but the battery is now lasting more than 3 days between recharges. This suggests to me that one of the apps was to blame.
    I will point out that my phone is 100% run the 'Apple' way. It is not jailbroken and so all apps came from the iTunes store.

  • My iPad keeps restarting every 2 minutes I even reset all the settings and it's still doing it, what do I do?

  • IPhone 5c shuts restarts every 3 minutes...

    My iPhone 5c has been acting weird. My first problem is that it is stuck at one number for a battery percentage, the number is random. so I don't know when it is going to die. But when it does die and when i put it in a charger, it turns on like normal and then after using it for 3 minutes it restarts and then I start to use it again and in 3 minutes it shuts down again, and that happens for  a while. THEN, I press the off button and home button for it to restart and leave it by itself for about 20 minutes. after this, usually it is working fine. But after it most recently shut down, restarting it and leaving it for 20 minutes hasn't worked, considering I left it for 20 mins and when that didn't work i left it overnight. Also when it is left by itself even if i am not using it it restarts, so think of how many times it did that last night. Every time I use it it shuts down and it is getting very annoying and hard to use. I have a genius bar appointment tomorrow but I was wondering if anyone else had this same problem or knows how to fix it, I haven't heard of anyone else with this problem.

    Since no one else cared to help, I figured out my own solution.. Everything I read online said I probably had an app that didn't agree with the update and the easiest fix would be to factory reset it. Not what I wanted to hear, but whatever! So I backed up my apps using Astro File Manager and backed up my texts using Go SMS Pro (both free apps).. Took a few restarts to get that done!
    To factory-reset, you hold the volume button and power button at the same time.. Then when the Samsung logo shows up, let go of the power button only.. You should then get a black screen with some colored text and one of your choices is "wipe data/factory reset". Use your volume button to go down to that option and then press your Home key. Press Home again to go through with the reset... THIS WILL WIPE EVERYTHING FROM YOUR PHONE! Which is why you should back everything up first. There are easy-to-follow visual instructions on how to reset your phone here.. http://community.vzw.com/t5/Samsung-Fascinate/Gingerbread-update-bricked-my-phone-also/td-p/742556
    Once reset, you will have a lot of reconfiguring to do but if you install Astro File Manager again you can fairly easily re-install your apps. I just installed the apps I use most, to see if any of those screwed with Gingerbread. So far, so good! Guess I will slowly re-install the rest over the next few days and hope nothing goes haywire again!

    Check that the HDMI cable is seated correctly at each end and try another cable if the problem persists.

    did you already try the "reset"?
    hold the Power button and the Home button at the same time,
    keep holding, ignore everything on the screen, keep holding until you see the white Apple logo, then let go and let the iPhone start up.
    Let the power cable in for a long time....

    Contact Apple Support or an Apple Store if you have one near you. Your battery needs to run through the diagnostic test. You can also try to put the device into Recovery mode as well and rsetore the iOS software, and set up the device as new. Follow this article on Recovery Mode:

    i have another problem  which restart every 2 minutes

    If you have a variety of problems and things are crazy across the board, then you can't go wrong by doing a clean system install. Everyone should do it periodically, anyway, whether they have problems or not.
    Follow this procedure for a Troubleshooting Methodology ... basically reset to factory default condition -BUT- be sure to do the following methodically and also to follow the part with Apple Support!
    First you want to make sure you have several backups of your data and done with a couple of "different" sources. Be sure to understand what data is backed up and what is NOT on iCloud Backup and iTunes Backup. Use a variety of methods for backup ... you might check into Dropbox, in addition to your Apple options.
    Then turn off your desktop anti-virus software when using iTunes for this reset to factory default. After you do that reset, then leave your iPad in its factory default state and see how it operates then. If you encounter any problems in that factory default state, then take it to Apple Support, and let them know that you have just reset it to that state with iTunes and have not put any of your data back on and it is operating in this fashion (whatever the problem is) in that pristine state. Make sure you keep that trouble ticket number, because if it has to be escalated through Apple Support, you're going to find all communications tied in with that number. If the lower level help isn't able to help you, then escalate it to a higher level to examine the problem. Keep at it with that trouble ticket number until Apple Support arrives at a solution to that problem. Be methodical and keep at it.
    On the other hand, if everything is okay with the factory default condition, then restore your backup. Some people have discovered that the problem resides in the apps or something in the restored backup. If that's the case, then it's going to be trying and difficult to find out which developer's app is causing you the problem. And ... it's true ... that a developer not following Apple's instructions and guidelines for his app can CAUSE YOU TROUBLE. This kind of thing does happen from developers, especially when a new system upgrade comes out, because some developers ignore what Apple tells them about changes coming, and what they do BREAKS SOMETHING.
    This is a troubleshooting methodology that you are going through. See it through to the end.

  • IPhone 3Gs keeps restarting ever second I've tried everything that I possibly could but nothings working...

    Ok I have noticed alot of the same posts but my iPhone 3Gs is restarting every second not minute. It started when I went to restore my phone cause i saw for some odd reason i had over 2gb of memory being waisted by "other" what ever makes that up, anyways so after i restored it I told it to restore from back up ever since then it keeps restarting. help please :-/ ???

    Then the next step is to try the process again, this time restoring as a new iPhone rather than from backup.  (The restore may not have worked if the source of the problem is contained in your backup.)  If restoring it as new doesn't resolve the problem then it is probably a hardware problem and you will need to take it to the Apple store for evaluation.  I would save a copy of your backup to your desktop before proceeding so it isn't accidently overwritten.  If it is a hardware problem and you end up replacing the phone you will want to restore your new phone from this backup in order to keep your data and settings.  You will find the backup at one of these locations:
    Mac OS: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
    Windows XP: %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows Vista: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
