IPhone 5s shuts down after being in the cold for a while

I have an iPhone 5s. I go outside jogging at noon and listen to the radio on the phone app. Since it is cold outside, it has happened several times that after about 20 minutes I come back into the building and take out and check my phone it shuts down by itself. If I try to restart, it will tell me the battery is low and need recharge. I will have to wait for a couple of minutes before I could restart. First couple of times, the battery was low, close to 10%. Today it happened again. When I restarted eventually, it showed over 60% battery life left. Has anyone else had similar issues? The warrenty just expired. What is my option?

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.

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 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.

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.

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 shuts down after heavy music/mapping use

My iPhone 4 keeps shutting down after us for music or maps for some time in motor vehicle; sort suggests it is overheating!! Sometimes it will not reset/restart using both conytols for quite some time. I have rrestored the iOS several times without curing shutting down probelm. And now the iPhone won't show up in iTunes on my new Macbook Air. All software including iTunes is up to date. I would appreciate advise on a solution. Thanks

My computer shuts down after being unplugged

My powerbook G4 sometimes shuts down when I unplug it, even though the battery is fully charged. This seems to happen more often when I unplug it and then pick it up (or put it down). After I restart it, the clock and date have been reset to 1970.
Any ideas of what may be wrong?

Hi c,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
How long does your PB run on the batt when it does not shut down after removing the power adapter? If a very short time, you may have a nearly dead batt, and the backup batt, even if it is still operational, only lasts a few minutes; once that is dead too, then date and time are reset.
I should have said this first, but just noticed that you said movement seems to cause the issue. That strongly suggests a loose battery. The "fix" can be as simple as wedging a thin piece of rubbery material between the battery compartment and the battery itself, on the side opposite the contacts, to make the contacts remain in contact at all times (earlier models had this issue, but it was supposedly fixed on later models, yet we still hear about it periodically).

G4 HiRes Powerbook shuts down after having closed the lid

I own a less then 6 months old 15" 1.67 GHz HiRes Alu Powerbook. Every now and, after having closed the lid, I have observed that when I reopen the pb it has shut down. The battery is still fully charged, so it can't be the case that the pb has not gone to sleep and it has thus discharged the battery. I also think it has happend with both the power adapter connected and disconnected.
In the past I deleted power managment pref files (can't remember the details) as advised by Apple in their tech papers, which resolved sleeping problems (not mine though :-))
All tips appreciated.
Thanks, Robert

Occasionally with mine, it only appears to have shut down.
I close the lid, and there is no pulsing light. the light is off as though its shutdown.
then if I open the lid, hit a key or two, wait, then close it again, and wait, the pulsing light will appear and if I then open it, it will wake from sleep.
Weird, but you might give it a go. This seems to happen often when running video-related applications, but I have no real data here and do not know what causes it. After I discovered this problem, I use it now to prevent having to lose my work and restart.

App shuts down after a minute or so for no reason

Hi
I'm using Jbuilder7 and mobileset3, when I start my app it shuts down after about a minute for no reason or warning, even when i run it in debug. It was working fine before, and I can't figure out why.
Thanx
Gerard

I found what was causing this problem, it was my firewall for some unknown reason. when I disabled it the app worked fine.
Any one know why it does this

My Macbook Pro (early 2011, 15") randomly shuts down after being turned on from sleep mode?

-So over the past week, I find that my macbook pro will randomly shut down within 1 minute of being turned on from sleep mode. Within the first few days of this, I figured out that it will only happen if I move my mac around before its completely into sleep mode. BUT now it shuts down regardless or preparation before sleep mode and everytime I turn my computer back on, I log in, and then have restore my chrome window tabs and stuff. What is going on??
-Do I need to replace my drive??
*PLEASE help me, thanks!
P.S. - I am runnng OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5

austine38,
if you boot into Safe mode, and then immediately restart into normal mode, log in, and put it to sleep, does it still exhibit the same random shutdowns afterwards?

My iphone 4s shuts down after update to iOS 7.1!

My 4s shuts down every time, almost every hour but only since I updated it to 7.1!
I tried everything but nothing helped. No resetting, no going back to factory settings, no pressing Home Button + Power button.
The staff in Apple Store told me that my phone hardware and battery i ok so it has to do wih the software 7.1
They can't fo anything and I have to wait for an update!!
Does anyone has the same problem or a solution?
Thank you.

In Apple Store, they told me that it is a hardware problem and my phone isn't able to use the new iOS 7.1 because my phone is too old but it's only 2,5 years old.
I suspect that something in that conversation was seriously misunderstood. The iPhone 4S runs iOS 7 without any issues.
If the device has a hardware issue, then it does not matter what version of iOS is on the device, it will not function properly.

IPhone 5 shuts down after having 36% battery left.

Okay so I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1
I haven't had this problem at all until updating to 6.1
Everytime my phone hits 36% battery, it shuts down.
It is not jailbroken either.
When I try turning it on, the charging idicator turns on and that's when I need to plug it back in.
IT HAS 36% battery left! Why is it shutting down!?
I called Apple and they couldn't explain the problem to me and wanted to charge me $49.99?
Ridiculous!
I HAVE TRIED restoring it 3 times. 2 times I used backup and the 3rd time I set it as a new iPhone.
Still having the issue.. Please help me?

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...

IPhone 4 shuts down after about 5 minutes

So, finally got my iPhone from Fedex, and I go to use it, and it wont stay on for longer than 5-10 minutes. I've tried restoring it (first was doing it on my windows gaming machine, but now trying to do it from my mac, more trust in that).
I've been looking for others with this issue and i'm not finding much for this new iPhone (saw some stuff after 3.1.3 came out), anyone else having this problem?
Going to give Apple a call tomorrow and see what can be done, but would like to know in the meantime if anyone else has had the problem, or knows how to fix it.

I have almost these exact same symptoms my iPhone 4 can be on and working fine then small little graphical glitches start to appear on the screen and then about 5 mins later it will normally lock up and then reset itself and then its just in a loop working fine for a little while then glitches then lock & reset. Once the glitches appear apps will crash most of the time and even apples own apps (safari, settings, camera, messages, weather) will load and then instantly crash back to the menu. I have tried restoring the phone from a backup and to original settings and none of these have worked. I have a appointment with apple for tuesday to hopefully fix or replace my phone as i described what was happening to both o2 (carrier in the UK) and apple. I really did not want to give my one back as it has not suffered from the other big problems reported. Hopefully apple can fix this as it looks like a software problem to me as the graphical glitches are not static on the screen say they show up while going through your bookmarks as you scroll down or up the glitches move with the screen.

Computer Shuts Down After Being Powered On

Hi All,
I have an iMac G5 right now that has a bit of a problem. I am able to turn on the computer, let it POST, and login. All is good through there. However, after using the computer for about 10-15 minutes, it all of a sudden shuts down. When I turn it back on, I am given no problems what so ever, and the mac acts like nothing ever happened. However, it will have the same problem again.
Any suggestions on what could be wrong, and if a part needs to be ordered, what part?
Thanks =)

Welcome to Discussions - Depending on the model you may be eligible for Apple's Repair extension programs, since your computer is displaying power supply problems. It could also be another type of thermal problem, but check the repair program first.

Iphone 5 shuts down constantly? I use it for a bit, put it in my pocket, take it out to use it again and it has shut down. Do I restore?

As of yesterday, my Iphone 5 has started to shut down on its own. Batterys shows healthy charge and I'm yet to witness the shut down. I use it for a bit as normal, put it in my pocket and when I take it out again, it has switched itself off. I have tried a soft reset (Home and Power button together) and this hasn't solved the problem. Warranty ran out last week! Would a factory restore solve this perhaps?

Random iOS device shut down is a very common issue, this issue will be resolved in iOS 7.1 (which will be released by MID March'14). But restoring your iPhone will help. Check how to do it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414

My Macbook Pro shuts down after I close my lid for a prolonged time

Everytime, on my Macbook Pro 2010 edition, I close my lid, when I try to wake up my laptop (open the lid) it appears with a black screen. I have to manually shut it down by force shutting it down. This happens every time I close my lid for over 15 minutes or so. I have done a SMC and PRAM test, nothing has been fixed. I need help

Hi Verebes,
I'm sorry to hear you are having sleep issues with your MacBook Pro. It sounds like you have been on the right track in troubleshooting this issue.
