HELP! water damage on iphone 4, reboots itself every 5 minutes!

2 days ago i dropped my phone in water and immediately got it out and tried to dry it off.
I switched off the phone and left it in un cooked rice for 48 hours, i switched it on today and everything seems to be working fine.. apart from... the phone keeps switching itself off and re-booting every 5 minutes
i have since taken the back case off, dried it, put it back together and left it to dry out even more.
does anyone know what else i can do? or what the excate problem is that is causing it to switch off and re boot every couple of minutes?

The problem is that it got wet while it was under power, this most likely will have caused a short between parts of the circuitry that normally are separated. It may (if you stop using it while there is some moisture left inside it) revert to normal operation, frankly I doubt that very much.
Take it to Apple for diagnosis, you can avail yourself of a 'non warranty replacement' while you are there, if needed.

Since installing IOS7.0.2 my iPad keeps rebooting itself every few minutes. I can't do anything with it and cannot download the new IOS7.2 because it doesn't run long enough to accomplish the download. What can I do?

Since installing IOS7.0.2 my iPad keeps rebooting itself every few minutes. I can't do anything with it and cannot download the new IOS7.2 because it doesn't run long enough to accomplish the download. What can I do?

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Oracle RAC 10.2G reboots node every 45 minutes

Hello:
- We have installed Oracle RAC 10.2G for Solaris X86 ( 64 bit ).
- On one node, there are no issues. But the other node ( I think )
is being rebooted by CRS every 45 minutes or so.
- Is this issue caused by some misconfiguration I did during the install ?
- Or is there a patch available to fix this ?
- Has anyone else encountered this problem ?
Thanks

Brand new iphone 4 switching off every 5 minutes

I just bought a brand new iphone 4 with Vodaphone - I followed the instructions that came with the device, and plugged it into a freshly-updated itunes and with updated Mac OS software and was asked to restore it to follow my old iphone which was a 3GS.
From then I tried to install the new iphone software - but the device keeps switching itself off every 4/5 minutes and then after a couple of minutes back on, even when plugged into to the laptop...
I finally had it on long enough to start installing the software, but every time it got near to finishing it switched off and on again. I ejected the device and plugged it into a power-source instead and let it charge all day....it is still turning on and off every few minutes, and has about 10% battery even though it's been charging for 7 hours...
It's brand new, and this is very frustrating...any help would be great!
Thanks

If it won't stay on long enough to charge or restore the iOS in iTunes, there's a serious hardware problem. Since it's "brand new", get Vodafone to replace it. If not, take it to an Apple Store Genius Bar for warranty replacement.

I restored my iphone 4 to prepare it for sale and now it keeps rebooting itself every few minutes saying "Waiting for Activation". What's going on?!

I'm just trying to figure out if theres some other issue at play or if its normal for the phone to keep rebooting while searching for activation. I'd like to sell it this weekend but I don't want to sell a broken phone to someone. I researched this issue a bit online and only found a similar issue having to do with facetime/imessage but this seems to be different. I went through the necessary steps to fix the problem others were having, even though it didnt seem to be exactly the same as mine, but it is still happening. I will say that I got the iphone wet some time ago but it has worked fine since then so I'm assuming its not related. Perhaps the battery needs to be replaced? Any and all input or advice would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

I should mention it is ios 6.1.3. The phone has now also started, after rebooting, showing the signal bars next to the wifi signal icon at the top but no "Sprint" type next to the bars as usual. And then after a few minutes it shuts down, shows the black screen with the white apple in the middle for a few moments, comes back up with the Waiting for Activation message, the signal bars pop up and the whole cycle just repeats itself.

IPhone crashes and reboots itself every 2 minutes after updating to iOS 5.01

I saw other people complaing about problems with their devices after updating to the new firmware, but this one wasn't one of those problems. After updating to iOS 5 I did have a few crashes but then some time passed and they stop. The battery meter also seemed to be okay. It wasn't until today that the problems not only came back, but became much worse. I updated the firmware to 5.01 and not only is the battery acting up again, but my phone crashes every 1 to 2 minutes. Suddenly the screen goes black, I wait like a minute for the phone to reboot itself, then it's another minute of it working properly and then the same thing happens and it repeats all over again. I guess it might be important to point out that I'm with a 3gs, which I bought from a country (in Europe) in which I'm not right now (I'm still in Europe though), so there is no way for me to get any help from tech support.

Ok nevermind that, I restored it via my PC and so far I haven't had any problems (it's been a little less than an hour, so I'm still keeping my fingers crossed)

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!

IPhone 3G turns off every few minutes with new OS

Greetings all,
Apologies for not introducing myself in advance but I just want to get this issue fixed. I upgraded my iPhone to OS 4 and now the main issue is that when it is not plugged in it will just turn off after a few minutes of being idle. If I actually use it (i.e. keep the screen on) it won't turn off - its only a minute or two after the screen turns off that the iPhone actually turns off. I suspect this is a crash because I have to hold down the Power Button and Home Button in order to get it working again.
However, if its plugged in it won't turn off! How useful! I've read over some topics (and still am reading them, thanks for all the help) but I'm not getting anywhere. I've deleted the ipsw file and re-downloaded it to no avail and am considering trying a new user account on Windows 7.
Are other people having this issue? I was going to upgrade to the newest iPhone and give this to my little sister, but I don't think I'll upgrade now. She's rather upset about this.
Thanks,
Discopanda.

Make a backup, if possible. Restore it as new, if possible. If issue persists, or you are unable to do either of those previous steps, consult Apple.

My 3G iphone resets by itself every 5 minutes, anyone know how to fix this?

Please help this is very annoying. Every 3-5 minutes it goes through a 1 minute reset

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore from Backup.. Restore as New...
Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds...
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:

IPhone keeps shutting off every 30 minutes w/ full battery

Ever since I updated to 2.0, my iPhone has been randomly powering off completely.
The only way to turn it back on is to hold down the Home and Power (top) button for a few seconds, and then the Apple symbol comes up.
Any ideas?

I think I am having a similar problem. I have the new iPhone 3G.
My screen shuts off (the screen turns black, but the phone is still on...like if you shut the monitor off on a desktop PC while the tower is still on) randomly which requires me to do a hard reset (holding the sleep button at the top of the phone and the home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears).
This happens without warning when I do the following:
1. During a call, when I need to use the keypad, put a call on hold, activate speakerphone, etc. the screen will stay black and will not turn on when I touch it. This means I can't even end a call unless the caller hangs up. It is clear that the phone is still on (I can hear the caller at the other end), but I cannot use the screen at all. The screen comes back on when I put the phone back up to my ear, but then when I pull it away to touch the screen it goes black again.
2. After I complete a call, the screen will shut off before I can press the "end call" button. Even after the call is terminated from the other end, I cannot make the screen come back on.
3. After the screen automatically goes to sleep (goes black), I cannot make it come back on.
In all 3 of these instances, I use a hard reset to make the screen come back on. In the first instance that I listed, I have to do a hard reset during the call in order to disconnect the call and get the screen to come back on.
These problems do not happen during/after every single call. For example, sometimes it will be after one call, other times it will be after five calls. It happens without warning and without reason. It is very inconvenient because I am resetting my phone several times a day. When I call customer service lines (for any company), I can't use the keypad to do things such as "Press 1 for English" without doing a hard reset in the middle of the call and calling back several times until it works.
I would really appreciate it if you could offer some advice on how to fix this problem.
Thank you.
