IPhone shuts automatically off with battery over 10%

Hi
My iPhone shutted automatically off today with a battery of 12%. I only could start it again by recharging. It's the second time in two weeks that happened, the first time with iOS 5.1.1, now with iOS 6.
Otherwise I don't have any problems with my iPhone 4S and the battery, depending on the usage I can use it +/- one day and it shuts off by 1-4%.
Do you know if there is a problem with the battery or can it happen sometimes by software error? It's very bad when I coun't that I'm attainable for a few more hours (iPhone on stand-by) and then it shuts off very early.
Thank you
P.S. There was no problem with the cold, it happened in heated rooms.

First step is a reset:
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Why is my iphone 4s turning off with battery power still left

I noticed my first iPhone 4s shutting off with 20% battery power left, 30% then 40% and not being able to turn it back on until I put it on a charger. After it was turned on it showed 20%, 30% and 40% battery power. I sent that one in and they sent me a new one. Now two weeks later, paying closer attention with the new one, it has started that process all over again at 10% battery power. Is there anything I can do to fix this or do I just send it in and get a new one? Hoping this doesn't happen again!!!

I have exactly the same problem with my iphone 4 (6.1.2). Try this : Restart,reset,restore from backup, and then restore as new. Didnt work for me.

if you sure so your battery is down
and you must change it

My mac mini will not shut down. I need to manually shut it off with the power button.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report — it will be very long and not helpful.

Just replace my HD, restored from backup but now my iPhone won't sync with iTunes over wifi

Just replace my HD, restored from backup but now my iPhone won't sync with iTunes over wifi

Is synching over wi-fi viable? I've never done it, but when I tried something similar back in the old Palm PDA days, it was S-L-O-W, slow as molasses. I realize that the i-device are far more modern with faster processors, but wondering whether it's even worth exploring doing this.

Iphone 5s black screen with Voice Over On

I turned on Voice Over on my iphone 5s and it started to repeat everything, so I had to punch 2 or 3 times some commands in order to go back and suddenly my screen blacked out. I have tried to restart the iPhone and can see the silver apple, but again I can hear the commands (I can still hear all the commands (Voice Over On, Screen Curtain On, 8:45, Screen Locked) but can’t see anything on the screen. Please help!

Hello promomap,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Voice Over. Try turning off the Screen Curtain by triple tapping the screen with three fingers.
Additionally, you can turn Voice Over off completely using these steps:
Press the home button three times quickly. This is also called "Triple-click Home".
If the VoiceOver feature still is on, you can navigate to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off here.
If it is too difficult to access those settings on your iPhone, you can turn VoiceOver off using iTunes:
Managing accessibility features using iTunes
Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to any computer with iTunes installed.
In iTunes, select your device.
From the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access in the Options section at the bottom.
Select the feature you would like to use and click OK.

Iphone 5 switches off when battery still has 15%

After updated to iOS 7, my iphone 5 always switched off when battery still have 15%. Anybody have the same issues?

Sounds as if the battery may need to be recalibrated. Let the battery drain until it turns off. Then connect the phone to the charger and let it charge to 100%. Disconnect and then use it. It should get it back to a better read. The batteries are designed to shut down when the battery has a certain amount of power left. The battery percentage is not always that accurate.
You can take a look at this link from Apple about batteries. http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html

Iphone 4s 1 month old Shuts off with battery life remaining!

Just wanted to put this out for others to see.
I bought this iphone online from Cricket brand new in June 12, 2013, didnt activate it till July 9, 2013 and today 8-2-13 I had to take it to Apple to diagnose because it was shutting down by itself even though it was showing 50% battery remaining and would not boot but showed the "battery icon with the red bar inside" indicating it needed to be charged. However, when you did charge it and then booted it, it would show that there was 50% battery remaining since that was the point it shut down at and started charging from that point or at whatever battery %(percentage) it shut down at. Initially it started turning off the 1st week at 5%, then 10%, then 15%, then 20%, then 21% and so on until by the end of 24 days of light use it was shutting off at 50%. I took the phone to Apple and the Apple employee saw the problem i was having and had a technician open it. Apple's conclusion from the store was 1. The battery was working 100%, 2. Everything inside looked original" (It should, it was a new phone, not refurbished). So basically the iphone 4s was defective but he didn't want to say that. The problem was Not the battery but something hardware or software related. They gave me a new iphone 4s to replace mine since it was under warranty for 1 year and thanfully Cricket didn't charge to reactivate the phone otherwise Apple was refusing to take liablitiy for a defective product and pay the activation fee had Cricket charged me even after i spoke with the manager. Hopefully this phone will be ok, otherwise its another trip to Apple.
Bottom line is it was not the battery but something defective with the hardware or software for anyone else that might be having this problem. IF your phone is under warranty I would have them look at it.
Good luck.

The first time this happened to me was at noon and the battey was about 80%, then again about 4pm and the battery was about 53% and again like one hour ago. This is very anoying, i am happy with my new phone but i feel bad about this issue.

MacBook Pro shutting off with battery charged

I have a MacBook Pro I purchased about 22 months ago. About seven days ago, I started noticing the computer just shutting off without warning, even with a charge of 20% or more. Using Coconutbattery my batter still has 62% of it's original capacity with 367 load-cycles. Battery life isn't great, so I was considering buying a new battery, I'd just like to know if other's experience this, and would a new battery solve the problem.
There are no other problems with the machine.

My iPad does not automatically shut off after several minutes of non use. I can shut it off with the on/off switch. What can I do to get the auto sut off feature back?

My IPad does not automatically shut off after several minutes of non use as it had been doing a few days ago How can I restore this auto feature?

Settings>General>Auto-Lock and select an Auto-Lock time (the "Never" setting will of course never auto-lock the device)

IPhone turns off with battery left

Since updating to iOS7 my iphone 5 turns itself off when the battery gets 20%. What's this all about?

Try Reset, see if better. If not, try Restore, see if better. If not, then battery is most likely faulty, make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

Why does my iPad shut itself off with a charged battery?

My iPad fades out with no warning and a fully charged battery. I have to turn it on and push the home button a couple of time for it to comeback on...sound familiar to anyone? What causes it and how can I stop it?

I don't think so because I am always using it when it happens. I thought auto lock kicked in when you leave it idle for however many minutes you set it for. But I will increase the minutes and see if it helps.

My iPhone shuts down when the battery still has about 30%

When I then try to restart, it won't, but just show the red low battery icon with the charger cable telling me to recharge first. When I then plug in the charger, it shows maybe still 27% and starts to charge. Before this problem occured my iPhone went down to 1% or so and only THEN shut down automatically.
Have reset my iPhone and "recalibrated" the battery (total discharge followed by a full charge to 100% with original iPhone charger). Problem persists.
Thanks for any help!

Sorry, iPhone 4S, but IOS 7 something.

My iPhone 4s turns off after battery gets below 40% and sometimes when I take a photo,it shows the photo in the photo album but will display a white screen when i tap on the photo. Please help thank you :)

My Iphone 4s is 2 years and 3 months old. the battery drains very quickly, sometimes turning off once it reaches 40% if I open an app or say the camera.
I charge it more than twice a day now as the battery life is so poor.
Also, when I take a photo, the phot sometimes shows in the album, but if I click on it, it shows up as a white screen and I cannot send the photo either as the recipient gets a blank screen.
I am not super flash with technology, so please be nice!
Thank you

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue persists, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
