IPhone iPod randomly shuts off, battery life is 2 hours

I really think there is something wrong with my iPhone because yesterday it was only at 2 hours of use time and 3 hours of standby time since full charge before it dropped to 20. I did use youtube and barely listened to music. Is that pretty normal?
Right now its only at 9 hours of use time and 10 hours of standby and its already drained down to 20%. I only listened to music with only 2 videos of youtube and about a quarter use of web browsing. I find myself having to charge it every night. Which means I cannot sleep with my iPhone while listening to music, or if I do that then it will be dead by the next day.
Then last but not least is at random times during web browsing, I haven't have proof to confirm that it does things outside of web browsing itself, the iPod music I'm listening to just stops. I double click the home button and it only brings me up to favorites.

I have the same iPod stopping during surfing... Your not alone.

My iPhone 3Gs randomly shutting off at any given moment. I could be in the middle of a text, a call, or doing some games and it'll just shut off. Now here's the unique part. When I go to turn it back on, the apple loading screen pops up but it takes some

My iPhone 3Gs randomly shutting off at any given moment. I could be in the middle of a text, a call, or doing some games and it'll just shut off.
Now here's the unique part. When I go to turn it back on, the apple loading screen pops up but it takes somewhere from 3-5 minutes for it to boot up. Then the lock screen with the time and whatnot shows up. From this point on, my iPhone has a chance to shut itself back down and I have to repeat the process over and over again. Most of the time the lock screen flashes and then goes straight to black (shut down) but sometimes I can make it a few menus before it shuts itself down.
The only way to keep the iPhone on is to plug it into a charger of any sort. I'm fairly certain it isn't a battery charge issue because this happens at any % of power and sometimes my iPhone can use up all of its charge and not have this happen while other times I can be at 90-100% and it could randomly shut itself down. What can I do in this situation if some has some solution to this problem please let me know on [email protected] Thanks!

Not sure if this Term is Relevant towards an iPhone but, my iPhone won't Post unless if it's plugged into a Charger.

Try placing the iPodin recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Next would be to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

My iPhone 4s randomly shut off last night and won't come back on. what do i do?

My iPhone 4s randomly turned off last night and it won't come back on. It shut off with plenty of battery life last night, but just in case, I've had it plugged into the charger all night. Still nothing has happened. Any advice?

hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release.

Iphone 5 randomly shut off and won't come back on

For the last few weeks my iphone 5 has been randomly shutting off. Usually when this happens I just hold down the power and home buttons and my phone reboots within a few seconds. However last night my phone shut off and will not turn back on no matter what I try. It doesn't respond at all when I plug it into the charger and the screen has been completely black the whole time. When I plug it into my computer Itunes starts up and a message pops up saying that Itunes has detected a phone in recovery mode and I must restore it before it can be used with Itunes. I tried to restore my phone earlier, but it got stuck on 'waiting for itunes' and my phone displayed the apple logo and status bar that would not load at all. My phone is now back to being completely black and unresponsive. PLEASE HELP this phone isn't even 6 months old. I am on vacation currently and really need to get my phone working as soon as possible. Thanks!

I followed the steps found here: Error 4005 fix for Windows 7
it actually brought my phone to life .. sort of .. I now actually see an Apple logo on the iPhone screen (before this it was just a black screen at all times, no matter what) and it has a progress bar under it. Only thing is nothing happens after this. It's just stationary.
My iTunes just says Waiting for iPhone while my iPhone is just stuck with an Apple logo and a loading bar below that doesn't progress.
Edit: After doing some Googling it seems like I have the exact same issue as this person https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6431899

Has any one figured out how to fix an issue I'm having. My iPhone 5 randomly shuts off by itself. Then it won't turn on when i try to hook it up to iTunes it says its in recovery mode. so then i hit restore and its been stuck on waiting for iPhone.

This happened after I did a software update on my phone about a month and a half ago. My phone will randomly shut off by itself and wont come back on. I had spoke with an apple repair person over the phone who told me to hold in the home button and then plug it into my computer. When the iphone said that there was an error and gave him a code he suggested that I send it in. So I did and about a week and a half later I get it back and its on. Yet the problem still occurs. It shut off twice in the same day and for several hours would not come on. When it did I called apple again and they ran a diagnostic on my phone and said it was a software issue. So then why was it not fixed? They told me they could not duplicate the problem. And now it happens about once or twice a week now. And its happening right now. I have it plugged into my computer and the apple logo with a bar below it has been on for about 20 min now. And itunes is still saying "waiting for iphone."

Hello Elliiee,
The steps detailed below can help stabilize your iPhone.
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.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 the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

IPhone 5 randomly shutting off and gets really really hot when it's charging

I have had my iPhone 5 for a month now and it started randomly shutting off and it would turn on by itself hours later. When I charge it, it gets incredibly hot... it's not normal should I go to the apple store about this issue? I am starting to get really scared about this... I don't know what it's causing it. How do I fix this? HELP!

Your phone is still under warranty, due to the battery service. Contact Apple and have them check the phone again.

Iphone 6 randomly shut off and will not turn back on - help!

I bought my IPhone 6 last fall from T-Mobile. My iPhone 6 was working just fine about an hour ago. Went to hit the home button to check the time and it would not turn on. It appears to have randomly shut off and now it will not turn back on. Tried holding the power button - nothing... same with the home button. Assuming I need to take it in for service, but I'm not sure if there is some easy fix for this.

thanks britt

Hey madelinefrommiami,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
After reviewing your post, it sounds like it may be a hardware issue if moving the earphone shuts off the iPod. A frustrating situation for sure. Take a look at this page for information on available service options.

IPod random shut off

I went to shake my iPod nano 7th gen. to shuffle to song and it randomly shut off. It won't turn back on even if I plug it into my computer. It's brand new.

Does this happen everytime you use the shake shuffle function? If yes, return the unit to Apple and request for replacement. If it happen only once, try to reset the ipod to turn it back on. Cheers!

My ipod randomly shut off and wont turn back on

My ipod touch shut off last night while i was charging it and it wont turn back on

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

IPhone 4 randomly shuts off. Fix?

Hi all, I bought an iPhone 4 off a friend about a week ago and just today at around 30% battery it shows the black screen with the spinning wheel then shuts off. And I have to plug it in to power to get it to turn on (Right now my lock button is broken, getting fixed soon) and once it powers on it shows the black screen with the red low battery charge symbols then quickly to the apple logo and back to normal and shows the same percentage. I really want this to not happen anymore. I'm on IOS 6.1.3 with no jailbreak with wifi Bluetooth (not connected) and 3G on. The lowest I've ran it down to since I've owned it was 19% so I know 30% isn't low battery, and the battery life is great. But I would really like it to not do this anymore. Any suggestions? Thanks!!!!

How long did you let it try in raw rice? How much chorine was in the pool?
If all else fails make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and do an out-of-warranty replacement for $149 USD.

IPod randomly shuts off and freezes on a black screen

(I believe I have a 3rd generation.. I just bought it in July, and it has multi-tasking and wallpapers..)
My iPod Touch randomly shuts itself off.
It doesn't matter if i'm in an app, or playing music, or watching a video, or hooking it up to my computer. It just has it's fit, and shuts itself off.
But, when it shuts itself off, it becomes unresponsive. It won't turn back on for like 5 minutes. And even then, sometimes it turns on, other times it freezes on the Apple screen, or it will go to a white screen.
Every time I've made an appointment to go to the Genius Bar to have it looked at, it starts working fine. (I live about a hour and a half away from the nearest Genius Bar, so it's not really cheap for gas to get me there..). I've tried restoring it (from scratch and from a backup), but it eventually starts doing its thing. I've tried leaving all apps, movies, e-mails, and everything but music, and it still does it.
If I do drive all the way to the Genius Bar, and they can't duplicate the problem, are they just going to send me away and do nothing?
Or does anyone on here know of anything I can try??

First I would try restoring from your backup. If that does not work I would restore to factory-new condition and manually add apps and other things back on since there may be something corrupted in your backup.
