IPhone crashes and not turning back on

Hi to all of you.
First I wanna apoligize if I'm posting this in the wrong discution board, I am new here
So, here's my problem. I have an iPhone 3GS with iOS 4.0.1.  I got the phone last summer, with iOS 3 point something, and I updated it to it's current iOS. I also unlocked it and jailbroke it, because that was the only way i could use it here in Macedonia.
Anyway, the phone worked perfectly for like a year until a while ago when it started crashing and not turning back on.
For example, I'm leaving the phone to charge trough the night(as usual), then I'm using it for listening to music for like half an hour on my way to college. Now the interesting thing...the phone crashes after like half an hour of usage time, and that's usualy at over 90% of baterry, or just over 80%.
Nevermind, the thing is, after it crashes, there is no way you can turn it back on, even though it had, let's say, 87% of battery power. When I try to turn it back on, the apple logo comes out like usual and fades away after a short while. If I continue trying it's gonna be the same thing, or even it's gonna show that red baterry bar telling me that I have to plug the phone to charge. And when I do that, the phone turns back on and it shows that it has like 60% of battery power(***?) or even less than 5%, it depends on the mood of my iPhone -.-
And if somehow I manage to turn on the phone without plugging it in, when I go to check the usage stats, it says "Usage time will be shown after iPhone is fully charged"
So, my question is, what should I do? Is it the battery? Should I get a new one, or maybe should I update my iOS?
I just want to mention that if I update my iOS, I HAVE to unlock the phone if I wanna use it here.
Sorry if I took you a lot of time explainig my problem.
Any help will be appreciated

These are signs of faulty battery. Battery replacement at Apple Store is $80, and you will get perfect working iPhone 4 same as your current iPhone, except it will be working. Make Genius Reservation and take to Apple. Or have battery replaced elsewhere.

  • Ipod touch crashed and not turning on

    My ipod touch has crashed and not turning on. i tried connecting it with the pc to the itunes but the ipod is not being detected. This is probably the second time the same thing has happened in a month's time. please help.
    Thanks in advance.

    If you are certain that the device still has battery power, try resetting it (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Slide to Unlock screen displays, you should be all set.

  • IPhone 6 Blue Screen Crash Now my Phone will not stop crashing: Has Not turned back on after last crash.

    I very recently got my new iPhone 6. I got it on new years eve. I'm not sure what version of the OS it is on, but I'm going to assume it is on the latest, 8.1.2. Today has been the only day i have had an issue. Earlier in the day the phone froze and the Wifi was showing to only have one bar. They Phone then shut off and flashed a red screen for about a second. After that, I had no issues for a few hours. Later that night the phone crashed three times. 2 of them showed a blue screen before crashing. The third time the phone would not let me open any apps and then just shut down, and as of right now it has not turned back on. Is there a way to fix this or am I going to have to replace my phone?

    I was able to turn it on but when I turned on WiFI the apps would not open and the phone crashed again and turned off.

  • My iphone 5 will not turn back on!

    My iphone 5 died and will not turn back on. Ive tried everything from wiggling the mute button to pressing both home and lock buttom together. Its had 9hours charging time and still nothing. I know that the charger is in working order as i tried it on my boyfriends phone and it charged the iphone without fail. I havent dropped the phone or got it wet to give it water damage so its extremely odd how it suddenly wont work. I didnt purchase the phone from apple but a company that sells second hand phones...meaning my serial number isnt valid for sending it to be serviced with apple. Ive only had the phone 6months and am desperate to get it back in working order.
    Any suggestions? many thanks.

    Try holding down the home button and power button together while the phone is connected to power. If that doesn't work you would want to try putting the phone into recovery mode (hold down home button, and while you're holding the home button down connect it to a computer with iTunes opened up). Hopefully you won't have to do the recovery mode option because that would erase your phone but that usually gets the phone turned on. Hope this helps!

  • IPhone 4 will not turn back on no water damage

    My Iphone 4 will absolutely not turn back on. I've tried everything I've read online. I tried resetting it by pressing both the home and power switch for 10 seconds, then I plugged it in and tried that again. There is no water damage, and it froze when I was taking a picture so I put it in my purse and when I took it out it had turned itself off. ITunes isn't recognizing that it is plugged in, and I've tried charging it for a while and it still isn't turning on. There is a little light coming from the headphone jack too...
    HELP!

    Light coming from the headphone jack...? Why do you feel the need to specify that there was no water damage?
    Are the moisture sensors tripped?
    If it won't power on at all, it sounds like you'll have to take it in to the genius bar and have it looked at.

  • Iphone 4 will not turn back on

    I have an 8GB iphone 4 through at&t and it has been dropped in water twice but dried out in rice and worked perfectly fine afterwards. However last night my daughter got aholod of it and was chewing on the top of it and when I took it away it white screened, froze at the homescreen and then shut off. It turned back on several minutes later and was perfectly fine. When I had taken it from her, it had no drool on it or anything so I don't think any water got into it. Shortly after it turned back on it shut off but not completely, the back light was still on (meaning if I went into a dark room it was a blueish black light) and I waited for the battery to die. I even put it in rice overnight to ensure that had any drool gotten inside of it, that it would dry out. I have tried connecting it to the charger, to the computer, to itunes, holding down the power button, holding down the power and home button at the same  time, nothing works. I haven't called my carrier yet but I have no doubt they'll re-direct me to Apple and apple wont cover it.. any suggestions at all? Also, does anyone know the cost of a replacement phone from apple? I know it'll be expensive, but I'm under contract and kind of screwed here.

  • IBook will suddenly shut down and not turn back on

    My iBook (apporx. 5 yrs. old) will suddenly shut down while I'm working and not back on. Most of the time after it's been turned off for days it won't turn back on, although it's plugged in and the battery is charged 100%. But on the occations it does power up, everything works properly. Could my battery be completly shot?
    iBook   Mac OS 9.0.x  

    I too have that problem, but since apple replaced my battery for free, it still does that. I once heard that once your iBook reaches a certain temperature, it will just turn off the screen. usually when it happens to me, I just restart my machine the old way (control-apple-power), but it isn't so good either from what I understand! it is a bad way to work, but until apple fixes the bug, we'll just have to live!
    (ps) is there any reason you still run os 9 (cause it is officially discontinued as of 2004)? you should be able to purchase mac OS X (10.2 or 10.3) from ebay or your local mac repair shop (we fix macs in palo alto, ca probably sells it still) I just wanted to inform you of this since you obviously had no idea!

  • Help me!!!!! my iphone 4 will not turn back on HELP

    i was watching a movie in my living room and the last time i looked at my phone it was at 40% and the next thing i know that it is turned off and will not show any sign of turning back on

    Charge it for 30 minutes with the wall adapter. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. If nothing happens your phone has expired, or at least has a bad battery.

  • Help! Freezing and not turning back on!

    So, I've had my iPod since Christmas of '07, and now it's March 8. My iPod is frozen, and it won't turn back on. All I see is a black screen. This is the third or fourth time that this has happened to my iPod. I've left it alone for a while, and the last few times this happened it turned back on, but now it won't turn back on and my computer doesn't recognize my iPod. I've also tried the 5 R's, but those haven't worked. They normally don't for my iPod for whatever reason. Does anyone know how I can fix it? I'd really appreciate it!

    I fixed it. I switched the hold switch to on and off a few times and then i held the menu button and the center button for 6-8 seconds. Before i did the center button and the play/pause button..but then i figured it out. Yes! I'm glad it's working!

  • My computer crashed and wont turn back on! need help

    so i was just playing a game i downloaded off the internet and syncing my ipod when my computer froze. Then, the screen turned gray and it said i had to restart my computer. so i held down the power button and it shut off. Well, now it wont turn on. i dont know whats wrong, but its been 24 hours and still wont turn on. I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer.
    Thanks,
    D.R. P.E.P.P.E.R.

    Okay. thanks, but I don't think that's the problem. i did that and it turned on, but the screen is dead. what do you suggest now?
    I'm confused. What don't think is the problem? Did what? What turned on? What do you mean the screen is dead? Please clarify and write properly punctuated sentences—we don't do text messaging here.
