IPhone 5 shuts down even when battery is not empty

My iPhone shuts down evenw hen i have over 10% battery life left, it even turns off when i walk into a building after walking outside in the cold weather. It's extremelly frustratin as i can no longer rely on my phone as it can turn off any time of the day. What do i do

I have the exact same problem .. sometimes when I use my camera, with plenty of juice, it just shuts down and won't restart claiming the battery is dead ... I plug it in and instantly there is the plenty of juice it had before .. not dead at all... sometimes it happens when I am just using an app ... pretty random actually but VERY inconvenient.
I have always boasted about my iphone being reliable and not having any weird issues ( as opposed to my friends who have Windows phones or other ones) but now ... THIS !!!!??
...... I have resorted to carrying one of those back up batteries in my pocket and a charging cable in my car ...
very inconvenient but until THEY FIX the problem, I can't trust my phone
It is too frequent a problem and occuring with too many people under same conditions to consider it being a battery or phone issue ... whether Apple recognizes it as an OS situation or not .... I do !!!
FIX IT PLEASE !!!

IPhone 5 shuts down even when it's on the charger

My iPhone 5 keeps shutting down even when it has full battery. It doesn't last more than 2 minutes on and that's when I am able to turn it on. When I connect it to the charger sometimes it just flashes the apple continuously. I noticed that when it's on sometimes it doesn't connect to the Wi-Fi and I have no signal it just says searching. It just started doing all this 3 days ago, befire that it worked perfectly fine. Does anyone know what could be wrong with it?

Probably a bad battery. See if it qualifies for replacement: iPhone 5 Battery Replacement Program - Apple Support

try
The on-device battery meter is 'off sync' with the actual battery charge. There are a couple of ways you can try to repair this...
Leave the device to charge an hours or so, and then, still connected to the charging cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. Watch over the next couple of days to see if the charge and the battery use is in sync.
Roughly every 30 charges, deliberately discharge your battery to 10-15%, and fully charge to 100% afterwards. This will help maintain the accuracy of the “fuel gauge” on the device (your battery meter or scale).
Don’t drain your battery every day to 10-20% of its charge. You can actually expect battery problems by draining the battery. Again, to repeat, top-off your charge during the day whenever convenient – even ten minutes in the car or at your desk will give you an extra 20-25% charge.

My macbook (aluminum 13inch) shuts down unexpectedly when battery 45%

hello there,
my macbook 13inch-aluminum, 2 years old, shuts down unexpectedly when battery state is at about 45% and when an external hard drive (western digital passport 160gb) is connected, or an iphone on a usb port. This occurs only when my mac is running on battery power. I suppose same thing will happen with any other usb device connected. Last time the same thing happened, i did not have any usb device connected onto my laptop.
My battery details are
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 2377
Fully charged: No
Charging: Yes
Full charge capacity (mAh): 3234
Health Information:
Cycle count: 276
Condition: Normal
Battery Installed: Yes
Amperage (mA): 376
Voltage (mV): 12249
I tried to reset my SMC settings as well, but this did not help. Any thoughts please?

Your full charge capacity is about 75% of what it should be, even though your cycle count is comparatively low. If you still have AppleCare, you ought to be able to convince them on the phone or at your local Genius Bar that you have a defective battery, because your capacity should be much higher at that number of cycles.
If you do not have AppleCare, you will probably have to pay for replacement.

Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Last Friday, the broken glass of my iphon g3 replaced. Since then, remains the screen of my iphon regular black. The battery is not empty. By the restart I get my iphon back to life. It always comes back sooner. The last 24 hours 3x. Is there a solution?

Since Apple doesn't repair iPhones (they replace them) you will have to take it back to whoever "fixed" it. Since it's been opened by an unauthorized 3rd party, it is no longer eligible for replacement by Apple.

Ever since I updated to 7.0.4 my iPhone 5 keeps shutting down even when I have 40 or 50% battery life

This has happens about twice or three times a day. The last time when I took a photo it shut down even though I had 49% battery. When I tried to restart it I got the connect to a power source icon. Then if I wait a few mins I can restart ok and it then shows the battery level as it was before. Has anyone else had this problem? or know what is wrong and how to solve it. Thanks

Hey RichardNWhite,
Thanks for the question, and detailed information. To completely isolate the issue, you may want to follow these steps:
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 15 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.

Iphone reboots/shuts down even when plugged in

Here are the specs:
iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.4, 16gb, GSM
I've never had any big problems with this phone while using it, but today it randomly shut down, so I thought it might be a battery information glitch, because it has happened with a different iPhone of mine. So, I connected my phone to electricity, it turned on and stayed like that for a while (I had fully charged the phone a few hours ago) and it showed 94% of battery left, which is quite normal. The odd thing was, that it was searching for carrier and it was impossible to turn wi-fi on, the button was not responding. So I went ahead and rebooted the phone, still had the same issue. While still connected to the charger, the phone suddenly died again, showed low battery and turned on again. After a minute or two, the same thing happened again and after another reboot - again, again and again. I tried to reset the settings, still no carrier and still rebooting, even while charging. I tried completely erasing data and settings, but it was impossible to do that, because it asks for the iCloud password. Since it cannot be connected to the internet, there is no way for me to do that. When unplugging the phone, it dies in the same second. Next, I tried connecting the phone to my computer, but I can't even get it to turn on for a minute, because it reboots all the time after a few seconds (doesn't get enough power through the usb, I guess). Tried DFU mode, still no success. While connected to the computer, iTunes won't show the device connected to the computer.
So, there is no way to update the OS through the phone, because there is no way I can connect it to the web, resetting the settings won't do a thing, completely erasing the phone is impossible, because it cannot be connected to the internet, impossible to connect to a computer, because it reboots all the time, so no way to restore the phone. Basically, I can't really do anything with it.
I searched all over the internet for a solution, but couldn't find a single article about an issue like this. Is there anything that comes up in your mind, that might help? If so, please post an answer.

Oh, forgot to mention. No, it's not jailbroken.

WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN??

That many cycles is amazing service. A battery that consistently shuts down at about the same charge level percentage every time probably has a bad cell (that info came form an Apple technician) and needs to be replaced.
It's given you far longer service than many of us get, and may be a new record around here for cycle count!

Macbook shuts down unexpectedly when battery reaches 20% and unplugged

I noticed this behavior after installing the Bonjour Update 2010-001 (version 1.0) and the Remote desktop client update (version 3.3.2) last night. Upon reaching 20% of battery capacity, the macbook shuts down, and will not restart until it is plugged in. There is no warning, it just turns off.
Does anyone know what's going on?

Wow! I recently had this same EXACT problem and called Apple Care about it last week and said that they cannot do anything about it since my battery cycle is too high ( only 315) ! MacBook is the same model as yours. I finally brought mine in today at a local genius bar (Otay Ranch) and they replaced the battery even though My Mac's just a little over a month its 1 year warranty. I will now calibrate this battery and see if the same problem persists. When I called about this problem, the Apple Care rep says that he has never seen this problem before but now I just saw this and glad that I wasn't the only one, maybe its a faulty design on the first generation Unibody with removable batteries (Late 2008)

Iphone 5 random shutdown when battery is not low?

Recently My iphone5 keeps shutting down itself randomly when it still has enough battery. It could happen when battery is 50%, or 60%. The lower battery, more frequently does shutting down happen. It is the latest ios7 version. And I tried to enter DFU mode and restored my iphone. But the problem is still unsolved. I want to know if it is a hardware problem, or something wrong with iOS system. And what further steps I should take. I don't think restoring it again in DFU mode would help.

There are other conditions that cause the iPhone to shut down - not only a low battery.
Examples:
Operating the iPhone in a temperature that is too hot.
Operating the iPhone in a temperature that is too cold.
Storing the iPhone in a temperature that is too hot.
Storing the iPhone in a temperature that is too cold.
