IPhone 5 turns off and then does not turn back on easily

My iPhone 5 was working great, that is until I woke up this morning.  It was fine and then about 30 minutes later it just turned off and would not turn back on.  I tried a hard reboot and no luck.  I went out to the support communities and found where someone suggested toggling the silent button on and off.  I did that and it came back on.  But, it was only on for about 4-5 minutes and turned off again.  I was able to get it to turn back on again, did a back-up and upgraded to the new iOS.  After the update the phone was fine while it was plugged in.  I then unplugged it and it turned off again a 4-5 minutes later.
I was able to get it turned back on again after many attempts and did a factory reset and wiped the device.  Once again, once I unplugged the device it died shortly after that.
This tells me that with the newest iOS and the phone returned to factory settings, I'm really thinking a hardware issue.
Anyone else having this problem?
Michael

Might be a bad battery. Check to see if it is eligible for the battery recall: iPhone 5 Battery Replacement Program - Apple Support.

  • What i have to do when my iphone has turned off and i does not turn on

    my iphone has turned off by itself and and does not turn on ??? what i should to do ??

    First plug it in to charge for 10 - 15 minutes and see if it will turn on.
    Then do a reset, hold down both the home and sleep/power buttons at the same time.  Continue to hold them down until the apple logo appears.  This could take as long as 3 - 5 minutes.  Normally it takes about 15 - 20 seconds, but if there is something goining on inside your phone it will take longer.

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • My ipod froze then turned off and now will not turn back on

    my ipod was fully charged and was working perfectly.
    i locked it and when i tried to unlock it my touch screen wouldnt work.
    i tried reseting it by pressing the home button and the power button.

  • HT201401 since iSO 7.02 update bluetooth with my car is no longer working at all. also can no longer access my mail! the browser is turned off and I can not turn it back on!!!!!

    last week my phone was automatically updated after a trip to Europe, now I can no longer access gmail because the browser capability for cookies has been turned off and I can NOT get it back on. Before the trip bluetooth was on partially working with my car and now since the newest update works no more in any form. Anyone else having these problems? Need help!!

    As far as automatic update, the iOS cannot be updated without user intervention, so it could not have been automatically updated.
    You need to provide more information about your mail. Does this mean you cannot access the Mail app, you cannot download mail, or what? Not sure why you cannot access the cookies setting in Safari. Go to Settings>Safari>Block Cookies>set to what  you want.
    Problems with 3rd party Bluetooth devices, such as car audio, etc., generally has to do with vehicle manufacturers not providing updates to match the current Bluetooth stacks that are found in today's phones. You can go into the phone and remove the pairing for the car, and then go into car settings and remove the iphone. Then put both devices back into pairing mode and attempt to connect them again.

  • My iPod turned off and it will not turn back on or connect to iTunes.

    I was writing a note in my iPod Touch & it just shut off on me. The battery was fully charged, and now it will not turn on or connect to iTunes. I only had my iPod for 3 months... I do not know what to do..

    Try a hard reset. If that does not work, contact Apple and get it serviced.

  • Help my phone was fine turned off and now will not turn back on!!!!!

    Hi Everyone, I am a grandmother who is very new to these smartphones.   I got one of the droid incrdible 2's by HTC.  The phone was working fine until one night I turned it off and went to bed.  Upon waking found the phone would not turn back on???  Has anyone had this problem???  I mean I get nothing!!!  It powers on or something because if you look real close you can see the screen is barely lit.  You can make out a blue looking screen, no apps or nothing.  I have tried taking out the battery and I just do not know where to go from here.  If anyone can help me please direct message me. (email has been edited out for the members privacy)  Thanks so much, Sistereagle

    The same thing is happening with mine.  Went to the Verizon store  ... said it was a faulty battery. Low and behold none of the stores in my area even had a battery in stock.  Have had to wait 5 days for it to come in the mail.  Cost me over $30!!!!!!  Anyway ... after about 15 min.of the rep trying different things, the phone finally came on  .... barely.  He told me to keep it plugged in.  It actually started working fine for almost a week  ... now its doing it again.  Battery came today .. gonna give it a try.  Apparently this is an issue with ALOT of people with this phone.     WHY DOESN'T VERIZON ADDRESS IT!?  
    Makes me rethink my choices when my contract is up in February.  May do some shopping for a different carrier!  I have been a Verizon customer for forever  ... you would think they would make this right!

  • My phone crashed and has an icon showing a usb cable and the itunes emblem. when I connect to itunes it does not recognize my phone and treats it as just iphone. when I try to restore about 9 to 10 minutes into the restore the phone turns off and then on

    My phone crashed and has an icon showing a usb cable and the itunes emblem. when I connect to itunes it does not recognize my phone and treats it as just iphone. when I try to restore about 9 to 10 minutes into the restore the phone turns off and then on and then loses the connection with itunes and at the end of the download it just asks me to restore it again.

    Be prepared to lose everything on your iPhone but it should be backed up in iTunes so you can restore from your backup.
