My 3GS iPhone 16 GB IS TOTALLY DEAD

my 3GS iPhone 16 GB IS TOTALLY DEAD. I put in on my pocket with a full charge. When I reached to make a call I noticed the screen was black. Does not respond when plug to the charger or by pressing buttons. Can anyone help?

I had the exact same thing happen to me just today. I made a call, put it away, pulled it out to check the time and it wouldn't turn on at all. I tried to reset, wall charge, computer charge (my computer won't even see that it's connected), everything with no response. Is there any way at all to fix this or do I have to send it in to be looked over?

IPhone 5S suddenly totally dead!!

My phone was on an hour ago and had plenty of charge and now it's dead and has no power at all. I'm still paying on this with att and totally blown away. Anyone else have this issue? Don't know what to do!! I even plugged it in just in case and nothing

First off, try holding down the home button and the wake/sleep button both at the same time for about 15-20 seconds (or until the Apple logo appears on the screen). If that doesn't work, you can try contacting Apple. It the phone is still under warranty, and it not water damaged, or damaged in any other way, they should be able to replace it for you for free. If your warranty has expired, then you would be looking at an out of warranty repair, which would mean that they would replace your phone for about $200. Now, if you have the insurance through AT&T, you could also file a claim against that and pay your deductible (about $200) and get a replacement phone too. The iPhone is made by Apple, so they provide app warranty service on it. If you are still paying for the phone, hopefully you chose to purchase the Apple Extended warranty package as it extends the warranty coverage for up to 2 years from the date of the purchase, which would cover the terms of a contract subsidy, or most NEXT agreement terms.

My iphone 3gs is totally dead and not charging if I will connect to power connector too

My iphone 3gs is totally dead and not charging if I will connect to power connector too
It shows only the battery charging sign when I will coonect to power connector and press menu button. But if I will put it for whole day or night too , It is not charging.
Please tell me what I can do.
I am so frustate.
Please help me.
Thanks

Are you currently plugging it into a computer? If so, try plugging it into a USB power adapter. It's possible that you're trying to charge it from a low-power USB port, and that's not enough to sustain your phone and get it charging.
If you're still unable to get it to charge, schedule a visit with your local genius bar at apple.com/retail

HT201263 iPhone 4S totally dead

Hi.. Last night before going to sleep my iphone4S was about 5% charge and plugged on the charger but instead for charging, it was discharging very quickly till it shutted down and screen got black and no red bar appearing whenever i click the home lor the power button.. Thought it was nothing cause i was so sleepy and left it charging till this morning, i found my iphone dead with nothing appearing on the screen even if i press the power or home button, totally dead.. Ive tried to plug it on my pc(where i usually sync my iphone) and also tried to press the home and power button to exit DFU like i used to do but nothing happened.. I also tried plugging my charger to my ipad and it works on my ipad and even trying my ipad charger to my iphone but still the same..
I really need my phone for all of my contacts and some lists that are saved in the notes, so hope u can help me with this problem.. I really love my iphone so badly and i really need it..

I also got this same problem like u. I have an iphone 4s, after updating ios 7 it was good for about 3 days. Then after 3 days suddenly my phone automatically switched off and i was unable to switch it on. Besides the phone was not taking charge from the socket. And also was not connecting to itunes. Then i pressed the home and switch button for about 7 seconds and turned it completely off. And now after 2 days this afternoon i tried to switch on the phone. And it was just a miracle that my phone automatically started to work. And now um enjoying my phone then ever.
I think u should try it like me hope that will fine.

Iphone 4s will not charge unless the battery is totally dead.

I just got my iPhone 4s 2 days ago. The first day it charged over night with no problem. The 2nd day I put it on the charger at the end of the day and nothing happened. It didn't even show that it was connected to the charger... nothing. I tried turning it off and plugging it in, this gave me the apple logo and turned the phone on, but still no indication of charging. I left the phone on the charger and went to bed (it was at about 30%) and when I woke up it was totally dead. I unplugged it, then plugged it back in and the charging screen came up and the phone turned on and charged. It took 2 hours or less to charge to 100% and it hasn't had any trouble holding that charge today. What is going on with this??? I will probably call customer service after work today, but I'm just curious if anyone else has had this problem or knows what is going on! Thank you!

Yes I tried multiple sockets, nothing worked. It was still hooked up when I woke up, but dead, I unplugged and replugged and it started charging. The night before I had tried everything and there was no sign on the phone that I even had it plugged in other than when I turned it off if I plugged it in it would turn on.

My ipod 1st gen battery went totally dead because the usb cable was defective. I've changed the cable. now when i connect my ipod to the netbook, itune is not launching automatically and windows does not recognize it......how can these issues be resolved

My ipod 32gb 1st generation battery went totally dead because the usb cable was defective. I have since replaced the cable but now itune will not launch automatically as it did before and windows xp does not recognize it. Nonetheless it is charging. However can i resolve these issues bearing in mind that i am not tech savvy?

Try disabling a/v software and turn off the Firewall on your PC.
Disable antivirus software
Turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
Then connect the iPod to your computer. Launch iTunes. If your computer still won't recognize the iPod check out this article.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Once your iPod is functioning again, with it connected to your computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPod under Devices in the source list on the left.
Select the box next to: Open iTunes when this iPhone is connected
That way iTunes should open automatically when you connect your iPod to your computer.
And iTunes / Preferences - Devices. You can have your iPod sync automatically whenever it's connected from the Devices pane.

IPhone Update Failed- Phone dead

Got error message that update failed. Now my phone is totally dead. Blacked out.
I have a phone call with support tomorrow. Anyone else experience this? 3 days to an appointment at the Genius Bar.
Ideas?

I had mega problems too. Try following the steps in my posting as below after creating a new user account on your computer with ADMIN priviledges also. See my posting on 20/June/2009 22:33 titled "Upgrade Error number 4 and Restore Error 1603 when going to OS 3.0 - Solved" And turn off any antivirus and firewall software too, before doing so. In ITunes, highlight your iphone icon and then click the Restore Button on the ITunes Summary tab which seems to force the iphone into an update. Dont try using the Check for update button. Good Luck...........
If i was doing my upgrade again i would first do a backup in ITunes, and then On the phone go to Setting > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. And then restore the backup afterwards. I believe this is what Apple should be recommending

My 3GS iPhone randomly shuts off

My 3GS iPhone randomly shuts off or gives a low battery indicator even when the battery is not low. I tried going to the Apple store and they were not helpful saying to close out apps using the multi-task button. Even after doing that, my phone was continuing to shut down. First is was around 33%, then 54%, then 76%, then even at 97%. So I had the battery replaced with a brand-new battery.
Now not only does the phone randomly shut down saying a low battery, but it is not recognizing the charge on the battery. I had the phone on for six hours unplugged and it remained at 100% charge. Then I went to make a phone call on it and after two minutes the phone completely shut off. It would not accept a charge. I had it charge overnight. I tried using different cords. I tried plugging it into a USB port on a computer, using the wall charger, and a car charger. The phone kept saying the battery was dead. Then miraculously then phone started to work a day and a half later, but only for one phone call. Then phone died again and has not accepted a charge for two days now. You would think after two days, the NEW battery would be charged.
My phone is not under warranty. I do not have the funds to purchase a new iPhone at this time.I know there have been a lot of posts about this, but I have tried every concievable option out there and nothing is working. I'm frustrated. Is this an operating system error and can it be fixed? Or is the phone trashed? ARGH!!

So Brad, just an update...
My phone periodically works and then it doesn't. The battery percentage indictator still continues to remain at 100% charge though I know common sense would tell me that the battery percentage would be decreased if the phone sat unplugged and on all day long. When then phone does work, I try to restore it, but iTunes keeps saying that there must have been a connection failure and iTunes had to stop downloading. FYI- I have no connection issues with my Internet.
Here is the weird thing...
Sometimes the phone is still showing the dead battery page and asking me to charge the phone. So I'll plug in the phone, let it sit charging for 4 hours, 12 hours, even days at a time... and it will continue to have the battery dead screen asking me to charge the phone. So then I will unplug the phone and leave it alone. After approximately 48 hours, I'll go back to the phone and hit the Home button and miracuously the phone would turn on. It is as if the phone is confused and the battery life is being drained when it is plugged in, but then miracuously recharges itself while sitting unconnected to any cords or plugs.
This makes no sense and I cannot explain it. I have waited to respond to your initial postings because I wanted to see if I could restore the phone. In addition, I wanted to confirm I was not crazy and that the phone is actually acting opposite what it should in reference to charging vs. non-charging.
Any idea why the phone is acting backwards in regards to the battery life? Since my last post, I've only been able to actually turn on my phone 3 times, literally once a week and then it only lasts for about 12 hours before dying on me again.

Update 3GS iPhone to IOS5 fail

Hi,
My 3GS iPhone was updated yesterday to IOS 5 using last release of ITunes (10.5.0.142). he was running the IOS 4.1. Once the update finished, the phones reboot and show a wizzard, asking for Country, Language, WiFi, etc... to activate the iPhone. When the iPhone tries to activate i got this error message:
"Your iPhone could not be activated becaue the activation server is temporary unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate..."
And it's impossible to access the applications.
It seems that the IOS is a beta version and only available for develloper who need to activate the account. I Check the IOS release and it's the correct one (9A334).
The iPhone do not recognyze the SIM from Movistar SPAIN. The phone is not jailbroken (it was jailbroken in the past but was restored). I'm not sure if the base band is the correct one because right now, I cannot check it.
Have tried to downgrade and it not work. My iPhone is dead. Have check the web and it seems a problem of the 3GS and no solution was found.
Any helps is welcome
Julien

Restore i guess ......

My iPhone 4 is completely dead. How do I get it on?

My iPhone 4 is completely dead. I've tried everything I can think of but it won't turn on. It had been working ok until I shut it down at night and in the morning I couldn't get it to turn back on. Is there a way I can get it back on or is it completely shot? Thanks.

It was working fine, the battery was about 75%. It completely shut down on its own (black screen), no error messages. Now I cannot get it to come back on. If I plug it into iTunes nothing show up. It acts like the battery is totally dead, but I'm sure it's not.
When I hold down the home and power buttons nothing happens.

Does it hurt the phone's battery to charge it before it is totally dead?

Does it hurt the battery to charge it before it is totally dead?

This is a heavily debated issue, not only with iPhone batteries, but also with batteries for almost any other electronic device. Some think it is paramount to wait until it is almost drained (10%>) before charging it, while others don't think it hurts it at all to charge it whenever you like. The only thing I would recommend you don't do too much is let it drain to 0% and let it sit in that state for too long. You may also want to be more careful with when you charge it the first few times you do (this is known as conditioning the battery).
Hope that clears it up a bit for you.

I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes. All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone. I am unable to locate them on my computer. HELP!!!

I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes. All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone. I am unable to locate them on my computer. HELP!!!

OK, I understand. Try this ... it's much safer. It will simply restore your backup, but not do anything to your iOS:
While your iPhone is plugged in to iTunes, right click on the iPhone icon on the left side of the iTunes display.
Choose "Restore from backup ..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
Again, what this will do is place that backup back on your iPhone without changing iOS. So you should be very confident in the backup contents before doing this.
