Iphone simply switched off mid-use
I was actually using safari to browse the Apple Store - was in the market for an ipad! I am now in a complete stress though, because while I was browsing (at about 15% battery) the phone simply switched off (as if the battery had died). I went to plug it in and while I pottered about, I left it charging in the wall. After about 10 minutes, the phone still hadn't switched on which I thought odd. There was no charging screen either so it was like the phone had simply died. I used my boyfriend's iphone to look up some ways of getting the **** thing working again... tried holding the home/off button simultaneously for 10 secs, 20 secs and 30 secs. Nothing. Tried plugging it into itunes - nothing, the screen stayed black. Tried plugging the USB into the laptop, holding the home button and then connecting the USB into the phone....nothing! I am getting really frustrated!! I am sure I got the phone under a year ago so I cannot think what has happened... its so strange. Any suggestions? Has this happened to anyone else? My provider is o2 - for half a minute I thought it was something to do with them again. PLease let it be their fault!! Any suggestions would be fantastic!

when using the Cyclops speed camera app the sound on my iPhone 4s switches off after a short while. If I close the app and reopen it, there's still no sound. If I restar the phone and open Cyclops I get sound "welcome to Cyclops" or whatever the greeting is. Has anyone got any ideas?
I've taken several Express devices apart in the past to experiment with them. The internal components warm up quite a bit in the first 10-15 seconds. They continue to heat up after this. It takes 3-4 minutes or so before the heat transfers to the outer case for dissipation.
Nothing is certain, but I'm 95% sure that this is your issue. But, trying to find a microscopic break in a circuit board trace is, as I mentioned, a real longshot. If you have the time and have done things like this before, it might be worth a shot.
I guess the bottom line is that even if this is not the issue, the device will still need to be replaced since Apple does not offer repairs. There are no software or firmware fixes for somthing like this. -
my iphone is switched off suddenly n then it wont b started it continously shows the apple logo then again switched off automatically and when i charge it so it was switched on and after a long time then it shows battery low and then its also show 4% battery what would i do im very tensed please help ...
Hello s0ha1b
If all you get is the Apple logo and it powering off, then the next step is to put your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. If you have a back up, then you can put that on there to once the restore is complete.
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

Iphone still switching off when I'm restoring it!
I've got a 3GS 16g and when down loading a new app the other day (after only getting it for Christmas) it crashed and then went into recovery mode. I've hooked it up to my computer and when i try to restore it, the phone seams to reboot or switch off mid sinc. At the end of the download my computer says that it lost network connection and to try the download again after having checked all my settings. I've done this about 20 times now and it still doesn't work. Does anyone have any ideas please? I'm trying to aviod taking it back to the shop as they'll send it off!
(I did have a reply and thought I had the solution but have just realised that I have Windows XP Professional!)You're welcome.
Are you saying your OS detail provided is accurate? You have a PC running Windows 2000?
If so, Windows 2000 is not supported. You need Windows XP or Vista with a PC, which is included on the retail sales box. -
my iphone 4 switches off when i insert the sim. dont know what to do??
Just want to inform you, that you are not alone. I wish to report the same problem. My brand new iPhone4 can not be switched on in the normal way. I have to press the on/off button and the home button for 10 sec. Phone restarts with the apple logo, than operates normally as long as i keep it awake. When i switch it off, it can be switched on for only 1 min. After 1 min it can not be switched on again, it has to be restarted by pressing the on/off button for 10 sec to restart it from scratch. This must be a serious hardware/software problem. Phone is not usable, I have to return it to the provider (T-Mobil Germany).

IPhone 3G switches off automatically
My iphone 3G switches off automatically when the carrier GSM signal is very low. Has anybody faced this problem? If so please let me know about the possible solution. Thanks.
No, it never works no matter where I am, its stuck. I haven't had 3G no matter where I've been for over a month now. I am sitting right next to other iphone users whose phone is on 3G with good signal strength (same iphone 3g and sw I'm running). It's always gotten 3G at my house, now it never stays on. I'm running the most recent SW. In Network settings I can switch it on, but the second I leave the screen it switches off. So annoying because I get feedback from computers and tv and it's SLOW!

hello sir my iphone screen turns off after using 2-5 minutes what would be the problem please help me out
To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone. 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:

Turn it on.
If it will not power on, try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears. -
