It shuts off by itself on averae 5 times/day

Recently my phone is shutting off by itself and when i restarted it, is either shutting off again or indicating low battery (when it was about 70%)and need to charge it right away for it to turn on.
Anyone has the same problem?

You're not alone, it started happening on my 3GS and consistently turns off at 30% and cannot turn it back on via hard reset, only comes back when tethered to outlet or battery case then it's "fine".
Several others on here experiencing the same thing.
Have DFU restored as new, etc, etc.
I'm out of warranty so hoping for a fix. If you are under warranty have it replaced and see if it happens on the replacement too. Apple needs to hear about each and every case like this so they'll look into it.

  • HT201335 on macbook pro os x v10.8.3 why does AirPlay Mirroring for ATV shut off by itself? Can the time be adjusted?

    AirPlay Mirroring foe ATV shuts off automatically when using my MBP OS X v10.8.3. Is there a setting that allows choices for the length of time before the shut off occurs?

  • My IPhone shut off by itself and I can't turn it back on. My lock screen button is broken and I tried plugging it into the wall but nothing happened. Can you guys please help me.

    IIf the battery was completely drained it might take some time before the phone will respond. Wait at least 30 minutes with the phone connected to the charger. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the phone starts up let it continue to charge until it's 100%.
    if the broken button will not let you do the reset Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Has any one figured out how to fix an issue I'm having. My iPhone 5 randomly shuts off by itself. Then it won't turn on when i try to hook it up to iTunes it says its in recovery mode. so then i hit restore and its been stuck on waiting for iPhone.

    This happened after I did a software update on my phone about a month and a half ago. My phone will randomly shut off by itself and wont come back on. I had spoke with an apple repair person over the phone who told me to hold in the home button and then plug it into my computer. When the iphone said that there was an error and gave him a code he suggested that I send it in. So I did and about a week and a half later I get it back and its on. Yet the problem still occurs. It shut off twice in the same day and for several hours would not come on. When it did I called apple again and they ran a diagnostic on my phone and said it was a software issue. So then why was it not fixed? They told me they could not duplicate the problem. And now it happens about once or twice a week now. And its happening right now. I have it plugged into my computer and the apple logo with a bar below it has been on for about 20 min now. And itunes is still saying "waiting for iphone." 

    Hello Elliiee,
    The steps detailed below can help stabilize your iPhone.
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • My iphone shuts off by itself, and refuses to charge to any source.

    I bought an ulnocked iPhone 4 a week ago in Hawaii. I'm from Argentina, so I got back and asked for a microsim card in my local carrier (Claro), which took about 4 days (they're annoying). When I finally activated my iPhone, I tried to charge it in an iMac, and all I got was the plug icon. iTunes DID recognize the device, but it was not charging. I plugged it to a wall source. The same thing happened. Then, I made a Restore via iTunes. No luck. I tried upgrading the IOS to 5.1. No luck again. The battery percentage stayed always the same. Afterwards, it started to shut off by itself. Connected to a source or not. Everytime the phone was ON again, the battery percentage became updated, which suggested me that there was occurring some charging...
    The next day, I took my iPhone to a Reseller here (called iPoint -there are no Apple Stores in Argentina-) and told my problem, but, when I connected the phone there, the bolt icon finally appeared. I thought the problem was solved, but when I came back home, i realised that even the icon was there, the battery percentage didn't change either. Then it commenced to turn itself off again and again. This happens more quickly if I have the iPhone connected to a power source, but it happens anyway if it's not...
    I'm feeling like I can't rely on Apple anymore as a safe choice. It use to be a warranty of perfection...
    I'm a bit desperate, hope someone can help me...
    Thanks!

  • I've had trouble with my Macbook since the first month I bought it. I've replaced the hard drive 3 to 4 times. Now some programs won't work or shut off by itself. Is it possible to ask for a complete exchange of products?

    I've had trouble with my Macbook since the first month I bought it. I've replaced the hard drive 3 to 4 times. Now some programs won't work or shut off by itself. Is it possible to ask for a complete exchange of products?

    This may help you: http://store.apple.com/us/help/returns_refund
    It would appear that you can ask for an exchange but it doesn't specify any time frame... Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can add to this.
    By the way, if you've replaced the drive so many times, perhaps there's something else going on elsewhere.

  • Imac shuts off by itself

    It just started about three hours ago, but my iMac keeps unexpededly shutting off by itself. It's not exactly hot, but I do play an online game but it has never done this before. Its shut off 3 times now, and the longer I keep it off the longer it stays on, but its still cutting off. Any help here?

    Reset the SMC, which can fix sudden shut downs:
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • My iPod keeps shutting off by itself?

    My iPod keeps shutting off by itself?

    Have you tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If you still have the problem then it appears that you have a hardware problem, maybe a battery problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why does the iPhone 4S shut off by itself?

    I didn't notice it at first but when I go to use my iPhone 4S it was off, without me shutting it off or anything. This is the first time it's happened to me and I'd like to know why it shuts off by itself.

    Restore it in iTunes.

  • Hello everyone. I bought my iPad 2 in Novermber, 2011. Recently it started shutting off by itself for no reason. It gets annoying because it happens while I'm using it and it starts happening more often. Does anyone know what to do about it?

    Has anyone experienced problems with iPad 2 shutting off by itself? I have mine only since November 2011 and it keeps happening, recently more often. It also takes longer time to turn back on. It's annoying because it happens of course while in use. Help! Please.
    D.

    Thanks, but it doesn't make a difference. I've tried. It just turns off in the middle of my reading or searching the web. On the beginning, it happened only once or twice but recently it happens at least once a week. I don't know if it's a warranty issue or if maybe there is simple solution to my problem...
