My 3gs 32gb software 4.3.5 shuts down when calling

During a longer call my 3gs shuts down. Who knows the solution for this problem?

My wife has the same iphone 3gs. She was experiencing the same problem: phone would power down or warm boot while she was talking for longer than about 3 minutes.
The phone always came back up after about another minute.
Battery was full ,signal was 60%.
This kept happening so we took it back to Apple store in Perth WA.
She was given a "new" 3gs with the new 5 os.
However after using it for a few days exactly the same thing is happening.
I wonder how many people are having this problem?

  • IPhone 3GS Shuts Down when receiving a call

    My wife's iPhone 3GS has an odd problem - sometimes - but not always - when an incoming call comes in the phone shuts down. The phone doesn't ring (or vibrate) it immediately shuts down to the power off state - and it's only after a while that I realise the phone is off - later I find out someone tried to call.
    Has anyone else seen this problem?
    It's a 32GB 3GS on the latest firmware 3.1.2 (7D11) and 05.11.07.

    I'm having exactly the same issue with my iphone, and same specs. It's a new work phone so discussed with IT manager. She advised returning it so it could be sent back for repair. Would be interested if you have heard of any other fixes as not keen to be without the phone, although that needs to weighed against the fact it randomly shuts down when a call comes in!

  • If your iphone 3gs just shuts down when theres something wrong with your hardware,is there any possible way to get all your pictures back?

    if your iphone 3gs just shuts down when something went wrong with your hardware is there any possible way to get all pictures or other important stuff onto itunes?

    What happened to the phone. Did it just go black? Did you try to plug it into Itunes and see if it can be seen or throw it on the charger. You can still try the reset procedure listed in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 and see if the phone turns back on.
    The only way to get things back is to have backed them up ahead of time.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs shut down when battery gets to 80%?  have installed new battery and nothing changes?

    Why does my iphone 3gs shut down when battery shows 80%.  a couple of months ago is shut down at 60% but has continually gotten worse.  this was before 5.0.  i took it to a repair man and he tried a used battery, a new battery, and the original battery.  nothing helped.  5.01 didnt help either.  What is my problem?

    Fully discharge the battery (till it shuts down and won't turn on) and then fully recharge it (100%).  This will recalibrate the battery meter.  You may need to do this a few times.

  • Why did my phone shut down when I started updating software?

    Why did my phone shut down when I started updating software?

    Hi Patraposo,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It is difficult to know why devices behave unexpectedly; however there are several articles on the Support site that can help recover your iPhone if the update did not complete.
    If your iPhone will not turn on, start with the steps in the "Power/Battery" section of this article:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    If you just see the "connect to iTunes" screen, the steps in this article can help:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

    If you see another symptom, feel free to reply with more information.
    Best,

  • My Satellite laptop (A305) shuts down when run on the AC charger/adapter

    The problem is that my Toshiba _A300 series laptop (A305) shuts down when you try to run it on the AC charger/adapter_. You can boot it with the power cord plugged in and it will get to Windows Desktop and maybe a few minutes more at most before shutting off.
    It will boot and _run from battery without problem_, but if you plug in the AC while it is up and running on battery the machine will normally click off instantly and reboot to the message "Windows was not shut down correctly."
    The _AC adapter works fine_ reading a steady 19.19 to 19.20 volts with a voltmeter. It also _charges the battery fine when the computer is off_. I have two Toshiba brand batteries and they both work fine.
    One interesting thing is that the _computer runs fine on AC when in safe mode_.
    I _did a reformat/factory restore_ of Vista to assure it was not software and drivers, and still got the same problem before any external devices had been plugged in.
    It has the latest BIOS and I tried resetting it to default values in case anything had gotten changed. It made no difference.
    This is _not a heating issue_ because _while it is run on battery I can watch long videos_ without it shutting off. I ran compressed air through the vents just to make sure, but it makes no difference in behavior. Usually with an overheating shut-off, the computer cannot be started until it has cooled some, but these shutdowns are accompanied by an instant reboot.
    I have seen on some threads that this type of problem one can work around by disabling one of the processors in Device Manager, but I don't think that is much of a lasting solution or good for the computer.
    Has anyone seen this problem before and have you come with a full diagnosis of the problem and a real solution?

    I have Satellite A300 and until now everything works OK.
    I would like to know what happen when you remove the battery and use notebook with power supply only. Does notebook shuts down again.
    If not let OS run and put the battery.
    Is the battery recognized properly? Does notebook switch off again?
    To be honest I cannot imagine this issue has something with software or background processes. Recovery image you got with your notebook is designed for this certain notebook mode. Recovery image is tested and I dont think preinstalled OS has anything to do with this.
    Full diagnosis?
    And how to do this? You know very well that diagnosis can be done with diagnostic tools only and such tools have services only. I hope you will find answers but Im 99% sure there is nothing you can do about that. Maybe you should contact service, explain the situation and ask for help.

  • Why does Macbook Pro have gray "curtain"and msg to shut down when playing video online?

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard v 10.6.8 and have put on all the security updates.
    I bought this machine just days after the newest MBP's were released with Lion because I wanted to stay with Snow Leopard
    From the very beginning I would have occasional "gray screens" with a message that I'd encounterd a problem and needed to shut down.  It always occured while I was watching a streaming video online (Flash?) but it didn't always happen.  I updated my Flash plugin and that seemed to help.  I use both Safari and FireFox and both are now updated to the latest versions.
    I had also noticed via iCleanMemory that my memory availability was very low .....I always have many tabs open in my browsers and have backup software that backs up to online storage running and when I watched a video, it dropped to almost 0 and everything ran slow.  I had 4 GB Ram.
    So, I ordered new ram and put that in and now have 8 GB.  Machine runs fast. Love it....except it keeps giving me that veil of gray and the message to shut down.  It happens several times a day now and while usually in conjunction with watching a video clip, it's not always the case.  But I have lots of available memory.  That wasn't the issue.
    I found an Apple Support paper relative to needing a video update on some mid 2010 MBP's and downloaded it.  It won't install and says it won't run on my system so that didn't help.
    I'm at my wits' end trying to keep this thing running.  Everytime I have to shut it down it means a minimum of 8 min...sometimes more.....before it will restart.  If I try to restart sooner than that, it begins to boot and then just has lines and lines of numbers and code running across it....and often continuous beeping sounds and I have to hold the button down to shut it off again.  If I wait long enough, it does boot back up and sometimes runs fine as long as I'm not watching video clips, a streaming tv show or clicking on a lot of links in web pages.
    I don't believe it has shut down when I was doing anything that wasn't web related....i.e. on a browser. And, when I was running with only 4 gb ram, it rarely shut down, just ran very, very slowly.  Now with 8 gb ram it is speedy but doesn't seem to want to keep working!
    Anyone have any ideas what I should try next?
    Thanks
    Paula

    Hi Allan,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I have been closing iCleanMemory but the shut down (kernel panic) was still happening.  Not sure how to go about uninstalling it as it's one that runs at start-up and dragging it to the trash might not get rid of it completely.  I"ll find it's web site and see if they have any info.
    Haven't checked your web link yet (it's late and gotta get to bed) but will do so tomorrow.
    I also run Backblaze and DropBox that begin at startup and are constantly updating in the background, iStatMenus and Sharpshooter. 
    The kernel panics were happening....tho much less frequently.....before i put iClean Memory on.  If I remember right, I installed it just because I had those periodic shut downs and wondered if it was a lack of memory.  Because I then saw that memory was very low all the time, I decided I must need to put more memory in.  And that seems to have made the issue worse while also making the machine work faster for the time it is running.
    Now, I've been working on here for a couple of hours and had no problem at all......but I haven't asked it to play any kind of video.  Before I quit for the night, I'll try to watch the last one I tried that caused it to shut down and see if it does it again.
    I do appreciate your help as I have just enough knowledge about these things to be dangerous.

  • Laptop shuts down when trying to connect

    Bought a WRT110, installed software, and everytime the router and the wi-fi on my laptop are turned on, the laptop shuts down and restarts.  Anybody have this problem before?

    I have the same problem. I just installed a new WRT160N on the desktop but my Toshiba M35x-S311 shuts down when I switch on the wireless connection. What's going on?

  • ITunes shuts down when trying to play video

    My iTunes software shuts down when I try to play a video from my iTunes Library or from the iTunes Store site. I have backed up the library and have tried to reinstall iTunes, but when I did the entire library reappeared and the same problem exists. My Quicktime does work and iDVD, too, with home movies, other online streaming and DVDs, So I'm sure that the problem is with iTunes.

    I upgraded Quicktime and now it works.

  • Soundtrack Pro Shuts down when trying to fix analized Action

    Soundtrack Pro Shuts down when trying to fix analized Action

    Thanks, I'll have to give that a try if there isn't an easier answer out there somewhere. If I pull the card will I have to reload the software and drivers?
    If my project is saved and I have a copy of the project saved will I be able to reload Adobe without losing anything? What I mean is will I be able to just import my whole project once reloaded?
    I just don't understand what could have happened, since I was doing this with no problem a couple of days ago.
    Thanks for your help, it's greatly appreciated.

  • MBP shuts down when connecting to power

    Since a week or two, my MacBookPro from early 2011 shuts down when connecting the magsafe to power. Also when starting up again it will start up fine and fast from battery, but I need to hold the power button for several seconds when connected to power.
    Another problem I had earlier as well is  CPU (kernel task) of over 90%, which I now see clearly, only occurs when connected to power. I used to solve this problem by putting the MBP to sleep, but now, when put to sleep, it will shut down.
    When on battery, I have no CPU problem and can put machine to sleep without a problem.
    I recently started uploading everything to dropbox, and activate caffeine to make sure it will keep uploading. My computer will run for days on power combined with caffeine, but is as slow as **** because of a >90% CPU.
    The battery has had a notification for maybe a year, that it needed service, so today I finally bought and installed a new battery, but the problem is not solved. Is this software or could it be my magsafe adapter? Thanks for you help.

    It sounds like a problem with the power management inside your MBP. I suggest you call Apple to make an appointment at your local Apple store for them to check it out for you.
