Iphone switches off when using apps needing a connection

Hi all, my first post, really hope you can help!! My iphone has been giving me trouble for some time now. It started to turn off when i am connected, via wifi or 3g, doesnt matter, it shows the little circle loader, and turns off. Also i have restored various times, and the apps simply wont open, the screen flickers and nothing happens. What could it be??
Thanks

More details: My phone turned itself off today for no reason, while in my pocket.
Also, I tried using the facebook app and as usual it turned the phone off, as it does anytime an internet connection is used... but I noticed when it turns back on that it says the battery is less than 20% when its freshly been recharged... then I restart and the battery status comes back to normal.
I'm trying a complete format, and a start from zero. Will post the results.

    That sounds like you have internal damage in the SIM card slot. Try taking the phone to an Apple store for evaluation. Make a genius bar appointment first at http://apple.com/retail.

  • Iphone switches 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!

    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.

  • MAcbook Pro 10.5.1 intermittently switching off when using battery only

    Very recently, my macbook pro has started switching itself off. It only happen when using the battery and the charge meter (on the battery) still shows at least 50% charge. It would appear that I can not reboot wither until the mains are attached again. I no longer receive the warning message regarding reserve power, and have previously run the lappy down to 5-6% charge before a recharge.
    I have had 10.5.1 installed since its release, and this issue has only just started in the last week, despite daily usage.
    Has anyone else had this or similar issues? It seems unlikely thatt it is hardware and I've cchecked the connections and they appear ok. Please help, its very annoying.
    Thanks in advance,
    Graham

    This sounds exactly like what was happening to me last fall - around Labor Day. This is a battery problem not an OS problem. I called Apple Care and they sent a new battery (after we tried all the PRAM stuff, etc.). The new battery took care of the problem.
    I hope this helps. Good luck.

  • IPod Touch 8Gb 1st Gen Crashes and shuts off when using apps

    When using Safari to browse the web, or using any application other than the music player, my iPod touch crashes and shuts off, often with a loud POP if I have my earbuds in my ears. When attempting to turn it back on, I get the standard Apple bootup logo, but then it crashes again a few seconds later. Sometimes, my ipod displays the battery meter after turning it back on, which indicates that the battery is nearly drained, even if the battery was completely full only minutes later. When using the music player or listening to an audiobook, it seems that my iPod can go all night long without incident, as I have fallen asleep with an audiobook playing, and have woken up the next morning to find it still playing.
    I have performed a hard reset by holding both the power and the home button for 20 seconds or so, and have deleted and reloaded everything on my iPod twice, but I am still having problems. Any advice?

    Mine does the exact same thing, it will not even turn on without being plugged into the computer (not even a charger). I usually have to restore it by manually sending it into restore mode.

  • Sound drops off when using hdmi outport to connect computer to an AV reciever

    Satellite M640,I5 2410 processor, windows 7HP. After about three minutes the sound drops off when connected to the av reciever through the hdmi outport. If I touch the trackpad the computer reconnects for another three minutes and  then disconnects. If I touch the the trackpad about every two minutes the computer stays connected indefinetly. This problem does not occur if I use the computer to play an audio CD. Any fix suggestions.

    Hi peter,
    try to repair your permission by open application folder > utilities > disk utility > repair permission.

  • My iPhone 4 mic will not switch off when using HF3 headphones

    Hi all,
    The mic at the base of my iPhone stays active while the headphones are plugged in and I am using the phone.  The HF3 mic also works simultaneously, so there is this nasty echo as the two microphones pick up ambient sounds.  I have to carry the phone in my hand or set it on a table during a phone call, because if I carry it in my pocket and walk, the scuffing noise is very distracting to me and the person I'm calling.
    Not sure if this is an iPhone issue, but I can't find any info on this issue with Etymotic (headphone maker.)  Could this be an iOS5 issue? 
    I have restarted the phone several times but it doesn't help.
    Thanks!

  • IPhone switches Off while using the Camera

    For example:
    I have 20%, 50% or 80% and i want to take a photo.  (Problem is represented at all battery capacity levels)
    I open the Camera App, take 2 or 3 photos and 1 panorama.
    And then the iPhone abruptly turns OFF.
    When i want to turn it on again, the "Low battery" is shown. Trying it again after 10 minutes, it turns ON and the battery capacity is the same as before.
    Any ideas what the problem could be?
    Sorry for that English!

    To disable Zoom double-tap the screen with three fingers.
    Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom and turn this OFF.

    Hi Paulncle,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.  Click on the link to see more details and screenshots.    I would also suggest you calibrate the battery by letting it completely drain and then charging back up to 100% using the Apple charger that came with the device plugged into an electrical outlet.

  • Should Time Machine Be Switched Off When Using FCE?

    I have just started using TM and wondered whether its hourly backups are likely to interfere with the operation of FCE and similar apps?
    I suspect they won't but as it's something new to me, I thought I had better get an expert opinion.

    The Time Machine forum has an excellent FAQ submitted by Pondini.
    In it he mentions what would appear to be an excellent free app for myself and others using Final Cut etc.
    This is the TimeMachineEditor which allows you to customise TM so that you are not stuck with the automatic hourly backups and can arrange more suitable times or intervals.
    http://timesoftware.free.fr/timemachineeditor/
    This is the interface which can allow backups at 2, 3, 4 ........ hourly intervals or daily etc. at a specific time.

  • Iphone 4s turns off when using flash for photograph

    so here is my problem. i have an iPhone 4s 16gb bought back at launch in 2011. since updating to ios6 i have this dumb issue.. whenever i try and click a photo using the stock camera app (with FLASH) the phone (sometimes) just turns itself off and when i try turning it back on, it tells me i need to connect it for charging (regardless of how much juice is remaining).. when i try turning it on after a few minutes it boots up normally with the amount of battery it had prior to the shut down.. i thought that the new software updates might solve this issue but it hasnt at all.. i have searched these forums and it seems im not the only one having this issue.. even upgrading to ios7 did nothing and its still the same.. it was working fine when i had ios5 out of the box.. also when i use flash (in a low light enviorment) the images are completely washed out/ heavily overexposed.. i mean you can only see the 4 corners of the picture.. i have no covers etc on the phone just fyi.. btw this only happenes in the stock ios camera app and not any of the 3rd party apps that i have tried.. also when i use the new quick flashlight it works perfectly without issue till the battery really drians out (just fyi for a perspective).. is there like a fix that im unaware about? or apple doesn't care about 4s people anymore??

    Same thing happening here.
    iphone4s 64gb switches off when taking pictures (sometimes) (often enough to be annoying!)
    always with 10-40% of battery remaining
    it shows flat battery animation and will NOT switch on, even if holding both buttons for 2mins+
    but it turns on immediately when i connect charger, no waiting to charge
    and immediately shows 10-50% of battery that i knew it had
    it also did it once when playing music and then someone called me
    device switched off when i pressed answer button
    i am on 5.1.1 but know others on forums running 6.0.1 with same problem
    so telling me to update will be pretty stupid advice
    it did not happen on 5.0 (but that was when battery was new - 4 months old!)
    had device for 13 months so warranty/swap is out of the question
    as i paid £270 upfront for the device and still have to pay £37 per month to o2-UK for another year
    i find it disgusting that i would have to pay to have it fixed/swapped considering its not my fault
    im actually looking for a definite fix for this
    NOT the usual 'take it to apple store' babble as i cant afford that
    but we all know im not gonna get one....

  • 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

  • My iphone switched off and when I turn it back on it wants to connect to itunes

    I was taing photo's and battery was half full - I switched it off and when I turned it on it says connect to itunes. I am not near my laptop?! What can I do

    That is referred to recovery mode. At this point your only option is to restore to factory & then from a backup if you have one
