IPhone reboots or shuts down or states low battery....2

I did yet another restore for month long symptom now. Once again I discover I lost my MMS camera icon in texting. My phone shuts down or reboot with low charge. I shut it off or leave it off only to turn it on again an hour later and have it show more than 70% charged.
I am still 5 months away before my contract expires and I plan to upgrade to the new generation of iPhone. I don't really have the money to take it in as I found out I am being laid off in five months as the company is leaving California for Arkansas.
Anyone else experiencing similar symptoms?

My 3G will also spontaneously reboot. Typically, this seems to happen when the battery level goes below around 50%. The screen will go dark and I'll get the swirling circular graphic that indicates the phone is shutting down. Then the Apple logo comes on, and it seems to take a very long time before the phone is functional again. I took the phone to an Apple store in April. A "Genius" connected it to an iMac and ran, what I suppose, was Apple diagnostic software. She pronounced it OK, both phone and battery. She suggested I restore the phone. I did. No change. It stills crashes. It seems to happen when I'm using the phone, not just using an App. However, it has crashed when I've tried to use the camera also.

IPod shuts down due to "low battery" even when fully recharged

OK..
I got big problems with my iPod battery.
I've already sent my iPod to Apple once, but they returned it saying nothing is wrong and giving "helpful" tips about turning the backlight off in order to make the battery last longer..
Well, I sorta disagree about there not being any problem. And I did feel a bit insulted about the claim that my iPod is not malfunctioning as well as the hints about me being a retard who needs to be told that using the backlight continuously might have an affect on battery life.
(but in case my retardedness is to blame for all my problems with my iPod, please let me know. )
During he last 2 months or so, the iPod keeps shutting down due to "low battery" even though it's been connected to the USB port for, like, 20 hours straight.
Tried different ports and computers without any luck.
The recharging-icon is usually moving while connected to the computer, but I don't get the "battery is fully loaded" message (or icon?) anymore.
Sometimes when the iPod has shut itself down due to low battery, it can still be used for ~10 hours by turning it on/resetting multiple times. When that happens, the battery icon is at first "empty", but then bar suddenly goes to half full.
I also suspect that resetting it 7 times before plugging it into a USB-port helps. Occasionally.
No way to tell if there's 15 hours or 15 seconds life left in he battery. I just got got home from a 2 x 8,5 hour flight and the iPod shut down right after the first take-off So.. yeah.. I'm ****** off atm.:/
I've tried all the tricks I've found on the net (resetting, software updates etc.) but nothing helps.
Don't know if it could have any relevance, but it seems like the problem appears more often when playing audio books - long mp3 files, that is...
Help, anyone? Pretty please?
PC Windows XP

I have the exact same problem. About 2 weeks before the end of my 1-year warranty, I contacted Apple about the problem. They sent a box with prepaid shipping (I paid for it) and I sent the iPOD back to Apple. Today, I checked the status of my repair and the screen reads:
Step 1 - Request
Product received (05-Apr-2006)
Step 2 - Service
No trouble found (11-Apr-2006)
Step 3 - Return
Original product shipped (11-Apr-2006)
I contacted Apple Customer Service and was told that they ran diagnostics and nothing was wrong with the unit. I asked them if it mattered that I noticed problems with the iPOD that they don't seem to see and they said no. They said the problem could be with my charger, but I told them that I recently lost my charger and had used several different chargers that work with other peoples iPODs just fine. I even left it to charge overnight and the next day I could barely play one song. The woman I spoke with told me that if I had any problems with the iPOD after it was returned to me, I would have to send it back (they would not provide the box) and pay $225 since it is no longer in warranty .
My problem is that the unit was in warranty when I sent it, they didn't fix it (they couldn't find this very obvious problem), and now it isn't in warranty. The only way I can listen to music is to plug it into an A/C outlet while it is playing. My other option is to buy another mp3 player.
Has anyone else had this problem? Have you found a solution? Thanks!

HT201401 My iphone 5 always shuts down between 20-10% battery life...It drives me crazy

My Iphone 5 always shuts down between 10-20% battery life...

In response to the other posts, I have not had any issue with the battery until the update to IOS7 and I have been using the phone for over a year. I am not suprised that the store would say the battery was bad, the phone thinks it is and shuts down. I do not know what plugging it in does for the phone, but after I plugged it in for just a few minutes it lasted for several hours. it was not that the battery was dead, but how the camera works with the system on IOS7. I do not know if taking a picture and saving it while using the flash cause a large draw etc, but whatever it is the system then thinks the battery is dead when it isnt. The hard part is once you apply power it will go away and there is no way to verify the issue. Even if it is weaker battery it should not just shut off with 20% power and then not work until power is applied. The battery is not dead as it has worked for several hours afterward. I have not used the camera in those cases for fear of losing my phone until I could get to a power cord. I am not aware of it happening twice in a row, but I will test it next time I am near a power cord after it dies. I would also concur, that this is a quick failure for the battery also as the phone is just over a year old.

Computer suddenly shuts down! No "low battery" message HELP!

Ok, about two weeks ago I plugged by computer into a desk lamp at a hotel. Appearately there was a voltage issue and I heard a pop then my computer blacked out! I had to restart and when I did all my "stuff" was gone! I was able to recover my documents, etc but it was a little scary! Ever since then I have to keep my power cord plugged in. I can unplug it but it will calculate my battery life as 1 hour then will completely shut down in the next 10-20 minutes. And when I plug it back in I have to completely restart. What do I do now?

Powerbook G4 Battery shuts down without signaling low battery

Hello,
<Edited by Moderator>
Okay, so we'll get a new battery, but please answer why do all of the battery test lights light up after the battery has been sitting idle, outside of the computer, for 10 hours?
We have three external hard drives and a lot of programs running. We have reset the PMU many times. Plus, we have a strange clicking noise coming from around the hard drive, which we associate with a power problem in this old house, and all of our battery problems date to when we first plugged in in this house. Resetting the PMU stops or reduces the noise for a while; then it starts again. A UPS backup has helped to keep the noise lower than before, however, the battery problem persists. By the way, the house voltage remains wonderfully steady between 230 and 234.
I'd write and edit more, but this typing delay in the reply screen and the constant jumping around of the edit window are much too frustrating. (IE8 -- which has been fine until now -- on different computer.)
Thanks in advance. Would happily reciprocate for a carefully constructed response.

Thanks for posting this under an active subject.
The internal hard drive is listed as verified. The three external drives are not listed as verified. Although, I did just run a verification on them, and there were no problems found.
The battery drains toward 0 percent, only when the external Lacies are connected. (a 500gb Big Extreme, a normal sized 500gb and a 250 gb the same size). Without the external hard drives connected, the battery does not drain. They are daisy chained on a FW800 port, as they have been many, many times before.
I think that we have updated everything possible to update. We do have DivX and on2flix standard installed. Otherwise, we try to stay away from 3rd party software.
Here are the running processes, in case that should help. It has been running slowly from time to time. I'm still in the early stages of the Mac learning curve, so I could imagine missing the obvious.

IPhone 5 shuts down with over 30% battery remaining

My iphone 5 is shutting down with over 30% battery remaining. It used not to shut down with still around 2% remaining but its increasing with every day now. For the last 5 days or so it is shutting down when showing even 30% remaining. When plugged in again, the battery is all drained down. Please someone give some valuable advice.
thanks

Sounds like a definite hardware problem. You should still be in warranty, so head over to an Apple Genius Bar and they will either repair or replace it. A replacement will be much more likely, and it's free (if in warranty).
Good luck!

My iPhone 4S keeps shutting down before battery is low

Why does my iPhone 4S keep shutting down when it shows I still have 30% battery or more still available? For example...my last phone started shutting down at 30% and by the time I took it to the store a couple weeks later, it was shutting down at 88% (they saw it for themselves, ran diagnostics, and came up with no issues). Getting a new phone every 3 weeks is not ideal. I'm on my 2nd replacement phone in 2 months and it started back up yet again-shut down at 31% a couple days ago. I charge the phone to 100% and it never fails, it shuts down at a higher percentage each day (it shut down at 35% today). I have done everything Apple Support has suggested with no luck (including full restore). Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?

Hi,
I simply use the phone until I have only a little charge left. Once that's reached I'll simply let phone idle completely or drain the rest with lightweight use. We have big difference here as I can actually reach 1% rather than phone dying at 20++ percentages. Previous said, e.g yesterday phone just died after some use with 12% battery left and started again when bringing indoors. I was then able to drain the battery from 12% -> 1% before it eventually died completely. After this I couldn't start the phone anymore instead getting the charge icon constantly, so I just plugged it in at that point. After charging over night I would then consider the battery charge meter calibrated.
In your case you could test if you can still start the phone at 47%. Even if it's displaying only charge icon you could try to hold the sleep/power button longer and/or do reset with holding home+sleep/power button a few seconds. If it indeed doesn't start it would indicate battery truly is empty. It it does.. then you could try to continue using the phone hopefully hitting lower battery levels and eventually try to fully recharge it in case you'll see the battery charge percentage working any different.
Below picture shows I can still reach the "0%" battery level and also pretty good usage times.. so the problem with me really is just that the stupid phone doesn't like cool temperatures (possibly after iOS6 upgrade)

IPhone 5 keeps shutting down and needs rebooting even when fully charged?

My iPhone 5 keeps shutting down when left unattended. This requires a full reboot and this doesn't always work either. Sometimes it requires a full reboot several times. Has anyone else had this problem?

I am having the same issue with my iPhone 5s. I travelled to the UK and my phone started having this issue over there (i have turned the cellular data off). I restored my phone last night but when it asked me to set it up again, i chose for it to set up from the back up i had stored on my Mac. The problem is still presistent even though it is shutting down less often. I am going to restore it to the factory settings tonight and see if I keep getting the same issue I will take it to a Mac Genius. However if it works i will let you know

My iphone 5s just shut down and won't reboot, just flashing apple logo

my iphone 5s just shut down and won't reboot and just flashes the apple logo. Can anyone help?

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.
If this does not work, see if you can connect in recovery mode, explained in this aricle:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

IPhone 5 shuts down as soon as battery goes below 20%

I have had my iPhone 5 for about a year, still have until Jan 2015 on Verizon contract. I am running iOS 7.0.4. My battery drains relatively quickly, but usually lasts about 8-9 hours for me on a full charge. However, the phone just shuts down and shows the battery being dead as soon as I go below 20% on my battery level. When this happens varies a little bit, it has been as high as 25% and as low as 14%, but it usually right around 19 or 20. I will try to turn it back on, and it will show the "phone battery dead" icon.
It has been doing this for about 10 days now. I keep trying to do different things to conserve battery life with the hope that this problem will go away, but it hasn't. I keep my phone in a thick case and have never dropped, submerged or otherwise damaged it.
Any advice for what I should do? Thank you for the help.

IPhone 4S Suddenly Shut Down And Everything Is Erased

My was texting when my iPhone 4S suddenly shut down and reboot. Onced it was rebooted, the phone's data is gone.
- All contacts are gone
- All photos are gone
- All apps I installed are gone
- All text messages are gone
- iOS stays in 6 (upgraded from 5 to 6 last week)
Do anyone have this experience before?

Hi FrankAtCommunit,
That definitely sounds strange and I haven't seen any other customers go through this experience. I have listed this experience to Apple so they can advise if they've had other reports. I suggest that if you had a backup on iCloud or iTunes, you restore your phone to get that data back. Let us know if this gets your content.
Thank you,

My iPhone 4 keeps shutting down :/ lately it's taken 2hrs to come back up. Diagnostics shows panic.plist and I've had my phone barely over a year. Will Apple replace it? As I hear I need to make an appt at the apple store.

My iPhone 4 keeps shutting down. The past 3 days it's taken at least 2hrs to come back on. It constantly has no service and tells me system restore is needed. Under diagnostics it shows panic.plist. I've had my phone a year and 3mths. I hear I need to go to apple to get a replace as this is a software issue. It isn't under warranty. Will they replace it or is it a waste of my time? I recently just got the iOS update and now my phone gets hot to the touch also. Please help. My upgrade isn't until summer of next year but I need a phone that works and will get signal!

Make an appointment at
http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
Out of Warranty replacement for iPhone 4 is $149 US;
you will get the same model, color and capacity you have.
If your current iPhone was locked to a wireless provider,
the replacement will be locked to that same provider.

MSI Z87I Won't Reboot or Shut DOwn

My new system won't shut down or reboot from the OS (Ubuntu 14.04) or from the BIOS settings, i.e. Settings -> Save & Exit -> Save Changes and Reboot will not reboot the system. All my peripherals will turn off, but the fans stay on and the only way to power off the system is to long-hold the power switch on the front of the case or turn off the power at the PSU.
There is ONE case in which the system will reboot. If I go to Settings -> Save & Exit, choose "Restore Defaults" and then select "Save Changes and Reboot," the system will reboot one time, but it won't reboot or shut down after this.
I'm already on my second MoBo since I thought it was a MoBo issue.
Specs:
SSD: Patriot Pyro 60GB
Memory: 2x PNY 4GBH2X02E99927-16-H
CPU: Intel Core i3-4150 LGA1150
PSU: Thermaltake TR2 500W
I've tried reseating the MoBo as well as testing it outside of the case with no luck.

Ah, thanks! Got it.
It looks to me like that is a different link to the same program, as when I downloaded it I got 'MSIHQ Tool 1.25g Installer(1).rar' as the filename, since I had just downloaded 'MSIHQ Tool 1.25g Installer.rar' from the link I posted (or perhaps from a page pointed to by that page, I've already forgotten where I got it...)
I notice that the '180' file has a batch file that runs 'fpt'. Am I supposed to run that batch file, or run 'efiflash bios.bin'? (Or both if this is the first time I've flashed the motherboard)

em nope, its the same program. (1) is auto renamed because the same name was already existing in your download folder

no need to run anything
just let the tool to prepare the USB key then boot from it
when this menu appear select option 2:
1 Run Memtest
2 Proceed with BIOS Update
3 Flash back to prevision bios

Iphone 4s aps shutting down

Hi
The aps on my iphone are indesciminately shutting down - often whilst opening but not always. I have reset setting on phone, reloaded all via itunes and got a replacement phone so I think it must be something I've put on the phone???
How do I work out what's causing this?
Cheers! Clare

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.

Iphone 3gs keep shutting down apps

Why does my iphone 3gs keep shutting down apps when I'm in the middle of using them? The battery is holding a charge and iTunes says my software is up-to-date, so I don't understand why this is happening! It is really frustrating when I'm trying to order something online and Safari keeps shutting down!
Thanks to anyone who can help me!

Hi Rebecca,
I have looked on google for a fix to the same issue.
Apple has been aware of this issue dating back past 2008 but they have not released a fix.
Apparently the only way to fix it is to "do it yourself" everytime, by resetting your iphone to factory settings. And reinstalling your applications again.
I just brought an iPhone 4 in New Zealand, and I have only 9 applications on my phone. So it can't be an issue of 'too many' apps.
Sorry this doesn't help. The balls in Apples hands here.
