IPhone 5 shuts down, as if no power, none of the buttons work. When plug back the charger cable, the screen immediately comes on and battery shows 40% or 50% or even 80%? Also, battery drains very fast on both IPhones after recent ipdate of IOS. Please help.

Hello there, noviipareni.
The following Knowledge Base article offers some great steps for troubleshooting issues with unexpected power off:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Particularly:
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 LCIsand 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.
Additionally this article reviews some recommendations for optimizing your settings for battery life optimization:

Iphone 4 shuts down after disconnecting from power cable

My iphone 4 completely shuts down after disconnecting from power cord. The screen goes blank. However, if I re-plug the power supply it turns on with the date and time changed but my battery status is 86%.

Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons for about 15 seconds until iPhone restarts. If everthing is OK, great. If not, connect to iTunes and try to Restore the Firmware. If still problems, make appointment with Apple Genius for Warranty service.

IPhone 4, shut down and will not power back on

Hi
The Blackberry is designed to be reset by removing the battery whilst the device is powered-on. Leave the battery out for a minute or 2.
See if that resolves the problem. If not, then more information will be needed before making suggestions. Please provide as much as you are able of the the following
Blackberry Model.
Carrier Name.
Do you have a Data Plan?
Operating System Version go to Menu > Options > About - it looks like v5.0.0.681
Memory for Device and SD Card Options > Memory
Any error statement or code.
The Exact nature of problem - the more info the better.
When this started and whether it started just after an update or new App download and which App/s theme/s download.

IPhone 5 shuts down at 37% battery power...

This has happened 6 times now - all random times (twice when using FaceTime, twice when taking pictures and twice when texting/emailing). When I try to reboot phone I get screen that shows no battery power remains and that you need to plug in phone. I then plug it in and it powers back on and jumps to 47% battery power. Anyone have this experience??

I, too am seeing this happen lately. I'd guess it's because my phone is a year old now but I'd prefer it to be something else. :)
I should mention that I'm still running OS6. I did the "upgrade" to OS7 on my iPad and I HATE it! I figure that eventually I'll have to move up to the new OS sooner or later but I'm holding off as long as possible!
Has anyone had any success in tracking down what the problem actually is?

Hi all ..my sons iphone just shut down and will not power up ..is fully charged..

can anyone tell me if there is any way to jump start it ?????

Try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds.

My iphone is frozen on the apple logo. I was downloading the new itunes but then the cable disconnected and now it has an apple logo and the download line. It's been like this for the whole day and none of the buttons work. Help?

A bit of help please?

Try a force restart by holding the power and home button down at the same time. One of two things will PROBABLY happen; 1) It will boot into iOS as normal. 2) You will get an iTunes logo with a USB cable at the bottom. If the second happens you will need to plug it into iTunes to do a restore. If neither of these happen, force restart again. Once the phone powers off, let go of both buttons and push and hold the home button and plug the phone into iTunes. This will force the phone into recovery mode. Proceed with a restore at that point.

Cannot access my iPhone apps in iTunes 10.4.1. None of the buttons is clickable...

Anyone with the same problem? Any solutions?
Thanks a lot!

I am having the same problem. I have not been able to access the iTunes store for a couple months. I have no problem with my Internet connection and I have the latest version of iTunes 10.4.1 in Windows 7. When I begin to load the iTunes store I get nothing, not even an error message.

I put my iPhone into an otter box extender and onto my stereo system, when I plugged it the screen went black, it wont turn on and none of the buttons work.

As soon as i plugged it into my stereo system with the otter box extender attached, ive tried to reset my phone by holding the lock and home button at the same time but nothing happens. After its been plugged in it starts to get warm, but the computer doesnt recognize it and nothing seems to happen.

It could be the battery if it was left in a very hot car or something and now it has practically no capacity.
(Lithium Ion batteries should mever be allowed to get completely flat - they need to retain some energy in order to recharge)
But if you haven't done anything that you think would have damaged the phone, and it is still under warranty, contact Apple and they'll sort it.

IPhone 6 shutting down when apps crash

Some of my apps are crashing and causing the iPhone to shut down and then I have to hold the button for it to reboot. I tried deleting and reinstalling the apps that are causing the crashes but that didn't work. I have the same apps on my iPad which also has iOS 8 but the problem isn't happening on the iPad only the iPhone does anybody have any thoughts?

Iphone 4 shuts down automatically even when rebooting with the home and power keys

My iPhone 4 shuts down by itself even though the battery is 40% charged. I tried the two button reboot (home+power key) at the same time, it starts first then it quickly shuts down again.
This has been going on for about 4 days in a row now.
Please help
Thanx

IPhone 5 shuts down at 30% power

My iPhone 5 has recently started shutting down when it reaches 30% power on the indicator. If I power it back up it will show just less than 30% and work for a few minutes longer, but then shut down again. Another power up will then show a depleted battery. I've had this phone nearly two years and it's just begun to do this. I found a thread from 2013 that had a variety of "fixes" but none that seemed to work. I'm running OS7.0 and do not wish to upgrade, as I've had friends who upgraded and lost everything. Other than replacing the phone at full price (not really an option), any suggestions?

You don't lose data if you backup your phone on a regular basis. You should be doing the same thing also.

IPhone 4S shutting down after iOS7 and support from Apple Chat

So, my iPhone is shutting down suddenly with battery at about 40% and saying that it ran out of juice, asking me to plug in the charger. When I do it, it shows 40% again. It looks like other people have similar issues with not only the 4S, but iPhone 5 as well.
I tried to contact the char support and well, read by your self below. Not only nothing was solved, but the support just hanged up the chat on me, and didn't answer my last question. That's really not what I expected from Apple. Well, that's it, no more iPhone in my household.
Case ID is 537464016 in case anyone from Apple wants to check it out. I'm selling this iPhone and never coming back.
Now Chatting with Calvin

Hi Janan
Hi Luccas, how are you doing today?
Good thanks. I have an issue with my iPhone 4S
Luccas, from what I see in the pre-chat notes you provided, it looks like you are having an issue with Battery life. Is this correct?
Since I updated it with iOS7, the phone is shutting down suddenly when the battery is below 40%
I wait then about 10 min, or I do plug in the charge, and the battery shows 40% again
I tried to restore the phone using iTUnes
twice
but the issue is still happenning
Did you set up your phone as new after restoring?
yes
How long until the unexpected shut downs started up again then?
straight away
I found your diagnostics… Give me a moment to have a look?
ok
Ok, there may be an issue with your battery, but we’ll need to have you do some troubleshooting before we can verify that it needs replacing. How does this sound to you?
sounds good
One moment while I tic the boxes of the things you’ve already done please
ok
Do you show any appellations in your App store that needs updating?
no
Do you lock your iPhone when not in use to shut the screen off?
yes
How bright have you set your display?
it's on automatic
Do you use Wifi mostly?
at home and at work yes, so it's on wifi most of time
Do you have a lot of applications pushing notifications to you?
no, the phone doesn't have a lot of apps, especially after I restored it
Understood
Do you use your phone for emails?
yes
On your phone, would you go to Settings > Mail, contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data for e please?
yes
it's set to push
but I don't use the mail app from Apple
I use the Gmail application
Ah… Ok
So there’s no email used there.
Back up to the Settings page please?
ok
Go to General > Background App Refresh now
yes, I disabled most of the apps her
I just have the Gmail app and the Google Maps
as these are the ones I use most
LOL… You are the perfect user!
What about Location Services?
it;s on, but again, just for google maps
Ok
and the find my phone service
Exactly
Let’s go back into General then Usage please?
Sorry, Nevermind, I can view that from your diagnostics...
ok
Do you use Instagram?
yes
That’s caused some memory issues of late...
Your battery is starting to show wear though
I didn't have any issues before updating to iOS7
the battery was working perfectly fine
never have any shutdown
Your battery is also 2 years old
One of the updates addressed battery issues and since you’ve restored your iPhone, it appears that it is on its way out.
the battery was 2 years old last month as well, when I had iOS6 and was working fine
I have done all updateds
I certainly apologize about the inconvenience this issue is causing.
But since you’re using your phone correctly, your restore hasn’t had any affect, this is the only conclusion I can reach
so, what's the solution?
can I come back to iOS6?
I’m afraid there’s no way to go back to iOS 6
so, I can't come back to the OS my phone was working properly, and I have to stick with a OS where my phones shutdown in the middle of the day with half battery full
Again, it isn’t the fault of the operating system software.
so, can you explain me why not?
if with iOS6 the battery didn't have a problem
and suddenly, when I update, I have an issue?
You have restored your phone and set up as new. If that fixed the battery life, then it was a software issue. If not, it was a hardware issues
look, if I come back to iOS6, the batttery issue is gone
so, it's a software issue
One moment while I get a senior advisor for you please?
ok
There’s just a few minutes wait time.
no problem
Just checking back… Our chat volume has gone up since Phone Support closed. This isn’t a normal wait but I’m still waiting with you.
that's fine
Still waiting with you
ok
Luccas, your problem requires extra knowledge and skill so I've got Calvin, one of my senior advisors taking over from here to make sure your problem gets the attention it deserves if that's okay with you. It was my pleasure to assist you today and I will leave you in Calvin's capable hands.
Thanks Janan
Hi Calvin
You’re welcome… One moment and I’ll transfer you
You are now being connected to another Advisor. Please standby.
Thanks for contacting iOS. My name is Calvin. Please give me a moment to look over your information.
Now Chatting with Calvin
ok
Hello Luccas, I see that your device is shutting down when the battery gets to about 40%, is that correct?
correct
I am really sorry to hear that, I can see that being frustrating.
it shows that image saying to plug in the charges as the battery is dead
I looked over the diagnostic it shows pass but its in yellow.
yes, especially if you consider that was working just fine one month ago before I updated to iOS7
I understand, it may cause people to think its the software but really what happens is during a restore or update sometimes it just brings the existing issues to the surface.
As even though your battery pass, its in yellow signifying its ready to failed but it appears its already failing.
Normal battery passes, its in green.
Since you have already restored it as new. That pretty isolated the issue.
sorry, I still don't get it. In one version of the software, my battery lasted the whole day without any issues. Now, after updating, the battery shutsdown at 40%. That's software issue for me. And, more important, if I wait about 10 to 15 min and try to turn on the phone. It's back again, and last until is about 30%, than, the same issue occurs.
If iOS6 was able to handle the battery just fine. I would like to be able to install it again
I understand you do have some concerns regarding iOS 7 and would like to revert back to your previous software. In order to avoid compromising your device in anyway the software is only designed to move forward. Downgrading the iOS is a feature that Apple cannot assist with as well as recommend since it can negatively affect your device.
However, we are always open to suggestions from our customers. Using this website (apple.com/feedback) would be the best option for submitting your concerns directly to Apple. We love to hear from our customers and future updates may even include specific features suggested to us by our customers.
Now keep in mind we have hundreds of millions of iOS device out there and most of them are running iOS 7 and running it fine.
In my case, upgrade the software affected negatively my device.
and a quick search on google shows that a lot of people have similar issues as me
Ok, we're running in circles here
You can do a search for iPhone anything and you will bring up a lot.
I though you would come and offer a solution
but you're just appologizing
not the kind of support I would expect from a premium product
The solution would be an out of warranty paid service.
not sure if would pay the premium next time
I don't see this as a solution. Because was an upgrade of software that made my phone stop working properly
I am sorry, I would have to respectfully disagree. I do agree that you notice the issue after the update. However does not mean that the update cause the issue.
So, explain me why in iOS6 it did happen?
I am sorry but there is just too many possibilities out there and I would just be speculating.
ok, so, at the same time that doesn't mean that the upgrade it's the cause, it could possibly mean that it's the cause, do you agree?
So explain to me why hundred of millions of units are running it fine?
I can't say about the hundred million of units
and that's not an issue that I care about
If even a fraction of the people had this call. I would not be talking to you as there would be huge backup of customers waiting.
what I care about is that the phone I paid 800 swiss francs is not working after a software update
I have a problem, and I'm contacting the customer service, so I care about being taking seriously and looking at the issue in my device
telling me that hundred of millions of devices works, and mine doesn't, that's not helpful
Ok, let me have you call phone support in you’re region. So that they can open up a engineering ticket and get you a response directly from engineering.
United Kingdom
(44) 0844 209 0611***
so, now you're saying that the last hour of my time has been useless because it's not you that can solve my problem?
and worse, you're making my self calling someone else and loosing even more time?
What I am saying is you are not accepting my solution and you believe you are correct.
So lets go with your direction to get you an answer directly from engineering.
no, you're asking me to pay for a new battery
That is my solution.
and you're expeculating that's the solution
you're not sure about that
You disagree so lets go get you an answer from higher up, do you not like that solution?
Lets agree to disagree and find you the answer you want.
Period.
ok, but I don't want to loose more of my time to call someone. And pay for the call
Debating this with me is not going to get us anyhwere.
I can setup a call back for you if you like.
you have access to the customer service system and could open a ticket
What number is best to reach you at?
+44 07445376676
just for my information
what they will look at?
anything they will do differently?
Call is schedule for 8:00-8:15 AM.
tomorrow?
Saturday.
Greenwich time.
ok, again, can you tell me what they will look at? anything they can see that you couldn't?
Thank you for your time.
Your chat session has ended. Thanks for using Apple's chat support

Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call? You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.
