IPhone turns off when in sleep mode

Hi my phone turns off after being in sleep/lock mode after a few minutes. to turn back on i have to hold the home and power buttons for a few seconds.
When the phone is charging it does NOT turn of in sleep mode.
My Info: iphone 2g..Fw 2.1
I read a few post on here and other forum sites that say it may be a hardware issue or battery issue....If your having this problem please reply to this post to let it be known if there is a hardware problem or just isolated incidents thanks

Hey SurgeCentral,
Are you using any 3rd-party accessories with the iPhone?
Try syncing and backing up the data on the iPhone, then restore it and set it up as a new phone.

  • IPhone shuts off when in sleep mode

    So I am currently on a refurbished iPhone 3g because my other one had some visual issues. Now my problem is everytime i have my iPhone in sleep mode it shuts off after about 20-25 seconds and i can only turn it back on again by holding down the home button and sleep button together. Does anyone know a solution to this problem or had the same problem???
    Thanks, Michael

  • IPhone Shutting Off When In Sleep Mode

    So, I had a problem with my iphone, and took it to the mac store and got it replaced.
    now, my new iphone will completely shut down within minutes of being in sleep mode. it will only stay on in sleep mode when it's connected to power. is there any way to solve this problem without having to go to the mac store again?

    Hi!!
    I too have the same problem. I bought the 8GB iphone about 20 days back.
    Few days it worked ok, but during this time the battery was getting exhausted within 12-14Hrs. After that, one day it went into trans and stopped working. Now it only works when it is connected to the power otherwise it keeps on displaying the Apple Logo, and of course the mobile net work is disconnected.
    Can somebody help me resolving the said issue.

  • Why in the world did update 1.4 start turning off WiFi in sleep mode again?

    This time, we werent even given a choice. It just turns off by design. Thats not cool! I really solely on WiFi at home because my EV connection at home is close to nothing. You guys can ask Sprint to put a tower in New City, NY.

    I agree that some time ago you stayed connected.
    I have the same problem now: twitter messages don't come in anymore when phone is in sleep mode.
    Before they always came in directly when sent.
    Apple should give us more options so we choose for ourselfves what we want.
    It must be very hard to create an option: wifi off when in sleep mode yes/no ?
    Also making a real copy of a picture that you have taken would be nice.
    So when you delete the original, the copy keeps existing !

    my iphone turned off when using wifi

    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.

  • Wifi automatically turned off when phone sleeps in iOS 5.1.1?

    Before, I used iOS 5.0.1 and wifi would keep turned on when the phone sleeps if I turn off data. This way I could always receive instant notifications. But then I sold the verizon phone and bought a used FU one, installed with iOS 5.1.1. Now wifi is automatically turned off when phone the sleeps, even when data is off. Is this how it works? Because I want to use wifi, even when the phone is off. Thanks.

    I have had and iphone 4 for the last couple of years with all the different IOS upgrades and never experienced such a thing!? I do not have a cell data plan (I even have it switched of in settings) so I rely on wifi and, even when the phone was in standby, the wifi was constantly on! and I received e-mails and skype calls as they arrived, So wifi was certainly ON!
    However, since the last upgrade to IOS 6.0 the wifi is indeed being turned off when the phone goes to sleep mode, which is very annoying!
    Any fix/workaround?
    Thanks

  • How do I set iCal so that my alarms go off when in sleep mode?

    I'm pretty sure that I can set iCal to open a program (iTunes) as an alarm while the computer is in sleep mode but I can't find the setting. This morning it didn't go off while in sleep mode.
    Does anyone know how?

    I am pretty sure that you can't. You can however use the Energy Saver in System Preferences to wake the computer at a set time, and then your iCal alarm could fire.

  • Yoga 2 13 Tablet Screen turns off when in Tablet Mode

    I just bought my Yoga 2 13, when I flip it to Tablet mode, the screen turns off. Apparently it goes to sleep. When I open it it turns on again. Do I need to do any adjustments? or is this a defect?

    Try updating your drivers first: http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/lap​tops-and-netbooks/yoga-series/yoga-2-13-notebook-l​...
    If that does not help, try a factory reset:
    1. Turn off your Yoga 2 13
    2. Press the tiny button next to the power button on the right
    3. Follow instructions to perform a factory reset
    If none of the above attempts have helped you, it is probably a hardware issue.

  • Won't Turn Off - Goes to Sleep Mode

    Yesterday I went to turn off my Ipod Nano and it went to sleep mode instead. Every time I tried it did it again.
    I read some other boards and tried the following options:
    ~Reset - toggled hold on/off, held menu and select buttons. Tried this several times, no luck.
    ~Let battery drain and recharged. Still no luck.
    ~Restored back to factory settings (with latest iPod updater). Still won't properly turn off.
    I don't know what to do anymore =/. It seems I've tried everything. Anyone know?
    Dell   Windows XP  

    Alittle unclear what your exact issue is, but "Sleep Mode" and "Off" are basicly the same. When you don't use the nano for a certain amount of time, it goes into sleep/off mode. When you are done using it and want it off, you press and hold the play/pause button til its shuts off (Or in other words is in sleep mode). After being off for abit of time it goes into "Deep Sleep" where when you turn it on the apple logo shows and it boots up

  • HT1807 My iPhone turns off when I turn the GSM radio on.

    The iPhone 4 reboots when GSM radio is turned on. You can use it when it's on a charger, but turn off fast when you use the GSM radio.

    Basic troubleshooting steps as outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup and finally restore as a new device.  If you've tried ALL 4 of these steps and you're still having problems, by all means, bring your phone into an Apple sotre for evaluation.

  • Fan Turns on when in sleep mode

    Hi - we have a iMac G5 20" that we recently purchased used. Everything seems to be good, except occasionally when it is in sleep mode the fan turns on at high-speed for a few minutes.
    Nothing else seems to be wrong, but it is worrying. Is this normal? Thanks in advance!
    Finder says Finder v10.4.4 - assume that is OSX 10.4.4?

    Those are also good suggestions for keeping things running smoothly.
    I did see that OP was running 10.4.4, and updating to 10.4.6 might be a solution. I prefer to use the combo updates also as some users have reported problems that started when they applied the deltas through software update, but were fixed by re-applying the combo update over it. Therefore, since I have broadband I just skip the possibly problematic deltas.
    Since we are now on the topic of OS updates, be sure to follow some basic procedures that will reduce the possibility of it causing more problems than it solves.
    Make sure that you back up everything first. I clone to my FW drive with SuperDuper so I can boot from it if the update goes bad.
    After the cloning process is complete, I unplug all USB and FW devices except the keyboard and mouse.
    I download the combo, then run all the scripts available in Cocktail before applying the update. Then, after the restart I run the Cocktail scripts again.
    I hve followed this process for all minor and major OS updates and have never had a problem with any of them. It is no guarantee that they will not go south, but I like to attempt to prevent problems rather than troubleshoot them later.
    Sorry so long. Just wanted to share.

  • Why iMac shuts off when in sleep mode? Using latest System (Yosemite)

    Can anyone tell me why my iMac 27", running on the latest system (Yosemite), all of a sudden started shutting off when put in the sleep mode?

    Try resetting the SMC.
    Additionally, look at the log files around the time the system shut down.
    You might also take it in for testing/diagnosis.

  • My iPhone turns off when on the charger. I've tried the computer usb port and wall charger. Whenever I put it on the charger it powers off completely and attempts to turn back on but fails, then tries again and fails again, etc... solution?

    I can turn it back on but when it's on the charger it just soon turns off again. Not sure if the new update is the cause of this or not. Any solutions?

    it sure sounds like the battery is defect
