My iPhone 3GS just turns itself off for no reason

My iPhone turns itself off randomly for no reason. It only turns back on once I start charging it again. It will turn itself off sometimes if the battery is quite full or quite low so there isn't a set pattern as to when it happens. Its quite annoying if im not at home as I cant get in touch with anyone then.
I think I need a new battery but does anyone know any different? Has anyone else had the same problem at all?
Cheers!

Try resetting it by holding the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears.

  • My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time for no reason every time I put it on silent or just get a Facebook message I have a broken sleep/power button anyone know how to fix this problem?

    My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time the power/sleep button dosent work so it's quiet annoying having to plug it in all the time dose anyone have a fix for this?

    The "fix" is to get the phone repaired.  There's no magic solution for a broken phone.
    Bring your phone ant $149 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement, or find a 3rd party repair shop near you.

    Is your battery very run down?  Try charging it for hours (or overnight).

    Hello there, queen168.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some good steps for troubleshooting your particular issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Particularly:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    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.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    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 restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Iphone 4 just turned itself off, won't turn on again - sleep/wake button hasn't worked for a while - tried charging (even though it was 50% charged when it shut down) and that makes no difference....tried usb to computer and directo to wall socket. help?

    phone 4 just turned itself off, won't turn on again - sleep/wake button hasn't worked for a while - tried charging (even though it was 50% charged when it shut down) and that makes no difference....either via usb to computer and direct to wall socket. Any suggestions...other than heading off to the genius bar tomorrow?

    Well, the sleep/wake button is also the power button. If you cannot use it to turn on, then you cannot use it to perform a reset by holding it and the home button together until you see the Apple logo.Those are the only two ways to turn the device on. You can try letting the battery go completely dead and then trying to plug it in. After it has charged for 20-30 minutes, the device may come back on. But, without the sleep/wake button, there is no other way to turn the device on or off.

  • My iphone 4 just turned itself off, once it turned back on all my SMS's were deleted. Can this be restored? HELP?!

    iphone turned off and went to apple screen, once turned back on all my SMS's had been removed..

    Why?
    Apple provides a very simple way to sync and backup the device, simply connect it to iTunes.
    In this case, you chose not to do that.
    There is nothing that Apple or any other company can do to "force" lazy/ignorant customers to back up their devices regularly.
    You would be in the same position if you device had a hardware failure, was lost or stolen.
    While it does not resolve the issue, it could have been easily avoided by regularly syncing and backing up the device.
    Also, as deggie stated, RSVP by text is not a very smart idea.  No carrier guarantees delivery of SMS messages, they are considered extremely low priority.

  • My iPhone 4 just turned itself off and will not turn back on, won't connect to iTunes either, can anyone help

    Have you tried resetting your phone?
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the  Apple logo appears.

  • My Iphone 3gs has turned itself off and will now not come back on! I have connected it to the laptop and tried rebooting it but nothing is happening! Any suggestions please???

    Help!!

    My I Phone 3GS did exactly the same. Tried holding the buttons, syncing it to my laptop, plugging it in to the mains (it didn't even beep).
    I rang my service provider (Orange) but they couldnt fix it. They passed me onto Apple. Who went through everything. But no joy.
    Apple sent me a box to return my mobile to them.  Now I have no mobile and have to wait to hear from Apple..
    I'm gutted cause no mobile now :-((

  • My iPhone 4 is turning itself off after 40% battery life is surpassed.

    Although I still have about 40% charge on the battery, the iPhone just turns itself off, like it has no battery life at all but when i plug it into the charger, it starts up again automatically and shows that I still have about 40-45% battery life available.  What is going on?  How do I try to recalibrate it if I can never get it to 0% battery life?  Please help.

    Same case here, but mine is Iphone 3GS having 40-50% battery then a little moment boom, it shut itself off. How to fix this someone help.

  • Computer just turned itself off and now cannot turn on

    Hi. I have a HP Touch smart 310 PC. The last week it has been sounding like it was about to take off, I thought at first that it might of been struggling with to much internal memory. So I went in and deleted a lot of files and photos, this didn't seem to do anything as I was on it it just turned itself off. I turned it off at the power overnight and tried to restart it in the morning but I had no luck. The power button on the side usually light up but unfortunately does not. I have pulled out all cords turned off power. What I have noticed is the power adapter around the back is coming up green. Has anyone on had the same thing happen and if so what did you do. Many thanks
