IPhone turns off with half of battery

My phone has been acting weird for some time. When the phone's battery reaches half it will turn off and if I turn it on again it wont stay on. But what I noticed is that if I turn on airplane mode this random turning off wont happen. In airplane mode I even turn on wi-fi and I dont get any problems. It's just when the "phone" (or network or whatever) is turned on that it turns off with half of the battery. I already restored it and it didn't help.

If restoring your iPhone with iTunes has not resolved it and you are in the U.S., you can call AppleCare at (800) 694-7466, or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

My iphone4 turned off with plenty of battery

my iphone4 suddenly turned off with plenty of battery. and my on/off button does not work for me to reset it.

your battery meter is wrong. im running into the same issue without ryhme or reason. my phone was shutting off at 52% like clock work, then it moved to 58%, then finally after being off for half a hour i plugged it in one day and it actually showed 1%. problem fixed.
yet then a week or so later, it shut off on me at 35% and seems to be back to normal again.
the only way i've seemed to fix this is to use the charger that came with the phone or my ipad and have it plugged into the wall and let it say 100% for about a hour past it turning to 100. then when i unplugg it i do a shut down and restart, then i do a hard restart by holding in the 2 buttons until the phone starts to boot up again.
im on a verizon 4s 16g btw. this has been going on for about a month on mine, and just this past weekend my contacts started coming in as just numberes, no names, even if i text someone thru my contacts, the text back to me will come in as a new text under the number and not thier name. again, just randomly fixes it self after soem restarts and reproggraming by calling the verizon number.
lot of frustrations for a 4thgen phone from a company.

IPhone turns off at 25-30% battery left.

My iPhone turns off with 25% battery left and it wont turn back on until I plug it in! I have no idea what's causing this!

^^IGNORE THAT^^
same problem but mine turns off when using camera with 10-45% of battery remaining
shows flat battery animation
will NOT turn back on until i plug charger in, then it turns on immediately showing 10-45% of battery
seen far too many people/posts here about this with NO solution
i had a new battery fitted 10 days ago and its still happening
so its NOT the battery and NOT the firmware
care to explain apple?
or refund me the £300 upfront payment for the device + £38 per month for 2 years!!!!
+ battery replacement fee?
i know its OUTRAGEOUS that im paying this much for a faulty device but my pointless 1 year warranty is no longer valid

Phone turns off with lots of battery left

My iPhone 4S has taken to turning off with as much as 30% power left. When I plug it in again and it comes back up, it will indicate the same power percentage. I have made it a habit of draining the battery at least once a month and then fully charging it (probably that happens more than once a month), so I feel like I've been properly maintaining the battery. I got this when the 4S came out, so it's as old as the 4S model is. Oddly, if I'm on the phone this does not happen. It will run down to 1%. Maybe that's coincedence, maybe not.
It's quite irritating - isn't this supposed to be the software/hardware that "just works"? - when you're doing something important and this happens. Today two armadillos appeared in our back yard and I was shooting some video of them. I got a low battery warning - I'm not sure if it was the 10% or 20% warning - but then right after clearing it, the phone shut down. I had some good video, but instead of using the remaining power to save the video, the video was just lost. I had never seen armadillos up close like that and was wanting that video to show my son and some other people, but now due to this problem that video is gone. Thanks a lot, Apple!

Sounds like there is a hardware problem - likely with the battery.
Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby to confirm.

Why does my Iphone turn off with 20% battery power left

Hi
I got my iphone as a gift and so i don't have receit.
I'm wondering why my Iphone would turn power off with 20% power left.
I have other apple products (Ipod 3 and and Ipad 2 ) and i don't find the same issue with my other products.
Just my Iphone is giving me tha trouble. sometimes i even see i have 40% battery life left and it shut off.
so i don't know if the % display show up wrongly.
what would you suggest.

Charge it all the way up, then let it run all the way down until it shuts off. Repeat this cycle to recalibrate your battery meter.

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.

My 3GS turned off with a low battery, and now will not turn on

I have charged it fully, tried hard restarting, tried plugging it into my computer, tried pressing the home button while plugging it into the computer etc.
My question is really about how to contact apple in regards to getting it fixed. This is a replacement phone and it did not come with a warranty (or more accurately, I was too late to renew the old warranty when I got it). However if it had come with a warranty, it would have been within the warranty period (8 months). To me this gives an implied warranty on workmanship and parts. I live in regional Australia which makes going into my local apple store a little difficult, and I don't want to have to pay for tech support for them to tell me that I should try restarting it.
End rant.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPhone turns off itselves at 34 % battery and now I can't open it...

How do you know this works ?
Thnx for the answer, trying it right now
sounds like the battery meter might be off...i noticed that on mine at first as well...
iphones just wont do anything when they are below a certain level of charge... letting it charge for 10 - 15 mins will let the screen pop on showing its charging.
i would let it charge up to full since it did this... perhaps that will let the os "calibrate" its meter to the battery.

IPhone switches off with 10-20% battery after installing iOS8

I've upgraded to iOS8 on 17th.
Since then, the iphone now switches itself off when battery is around 10-20% of battery.
very annoying.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.

Either your battery is failing or your battery gauge needs to be recalibrated. Start by recalibrating:
When it shuts off charge for just a minute or two, then restart (hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears). Deliberately run the battery down until the phone shuts off at 1%. If it shuts off above 1% repeat the above until you get to 1%. Then charge for 4 hours with the wall charger without using the phone. This process will recalibrate the battery gauge.
To prevent this from happening again about once a month run the battery all the way down to 1%, then continue until the phone shuts off. Apple recommends this in their battery help article, but they don't say why you should do it. The have some hokum about "keeping the electrons moving." Honestly! The iPad battery tip gives the correct reason.
If this does not resolve the problem you most likely need a new battery. If you are near an Apple store take the phone in and they can test the battery for you.

Pc turns off with picture saved in iPhone.

When i take a picture with my iphone4 it gets saved automatically, but when I plug my phone into my computer the computer will not stay on. So I have to delete the photo from my phone then computer will stay on for iTunes and such. Anyone know why iPhone turns off pc with photo saved?

I called apple support and they said it was because of my Logitech webcam. So I tried to update drivers, but it didn't work so I uninstalled the webcam now it works!! You can search for more info on this subject by putting ts1502 in the search box above.

My iPhone turned off for no reason and wont turn back on but it will show me the apple logo then turn off again. I have connected it to the computer and attempted to reset it but it turns off before it can reset.

Ok. I have doen some research and I have some things for you to try.
First, what version iPhone do you have?
Second, Try holding the home+sleep button for ten seconds and you should see the apple logo come up.
Are you using your iPhone with a Mac or PC?
Have you upgraded to iTunes 11?
