Hi,
It probably wouldn't hurt to Check that All your Apps are compatible with iOS 4...
And If you haven't already… you could try the following Troubleshooting Steps:
1) Restart
2) Reboot
3) Reset
4) Restore (from Backup)
And if those 4 Steps don't Cure your ills…
5) Restore as New…
See this Link for Restoring:

Hope this helps,
Cheers

Iphone 3gs shuts down & reboots on its own.

The 2 yr old iphone 3gs shuts down on its own and the silver apple icon pops up ~ the phone boots itself up. This has been happening more frequently, since Dec 2010. I could be on the internet, or using any app and it does this. A couple times I had to simutaneously hold down the power and home buttons to turn on the phone, and, or, unfreeze the phone. I always charge my phone, and regularly sync it with the latest upgrade(s). What is going on?

I had this, but I have now rectified the issue. It's an app?
I de-selected all my apps and just left the standard ones on.
I did a full restore from backup but did not sync any apps.
Problem solved, no more dropped calls. No more apple logo for no reason.
I am slowly re-adding my apps, 1 or 2 at a time, I have over 150 so it may take a while but so far I have reloaded about 10 of my most used ones and still everything fine. I will find the one that caused the problem eventually!!
Happy bunny again though, as I have a phone that can actually make a call for more than 5 minutes!!

After 2 weeks my Iphone 4s shuts down by itself and I cannot turn it on. What can I do. Itunes is telling me to restore the phone but the phone is saying the software isn't available

My Iphone 4s shut down by itself after a phone call and I cannot turn it on. I took it to istore and they said it was unrespinsive and there is nothing they can do? Anyone has a clue what can be done? When I connect the phone to itunes it indicates that the phone should be restored, however when i try to restore it, it says the "software for this iphone is not currently available" Is there anything I can do other than put this brand new iphone in the grabage?

On computer, at the top of this page is a Tab for iTunes, click it, make sure iTunes is up to date. Also make sure computer Fire Wall and Anti Virus do not interfere with iTunes, turn them OFF to be certain.

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.

IPhone 3GS shutting down randomly...

Hi,
I was wondering if someone has experienced an issue where an iPhone 3GS shuts down randomly. The issue started tonight just a few minutes ago, the only thing I installed yesterday was iOS 5.0.1. Personally, I don't know what has happened, I do know that my brother has downloaded some songs using the Download Lite App from the App Store. Curiously the issue started occuring after the downloaded one song using that app, but other than that I can't find a problem indicator.

I also having the same issue with my iPhone 3GS with iOS 5.0.1, except most the day went by okay for me until near the end of the day. Perhaps I don't use my iPhone as frequently as you guys are but when I really on to something on it, it just shuts down like a Window virus. (hehe)
Also find some more details on my similar post:

Thanks for sharing comments/problems guys. It really means a lot.

My iPhone 4 shuts down by itself

I'm one of the few who are still using iPhone 4 , but anyway, I had this problem happened twice already today. The phone shuts down by itself. The screen becomes dead and black. I have to press and hold the wake/sleep button with the Home key at the same time for it to start. It works for a while, but then it happens again. Can anyone help? Appreciate it much.

Hello there gilcelis99.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting the issue you're describing:
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,
Pedro.

IPhone 4s shut down by itself at battery 10%, what's wrong ?

Not the first time did I encounter this problem that iPhone 4s shut down automatically by itself at battery 6%-10%.
Does anyone have this issue so far?
Thanks

it will at 10% ... something about it needs the xtra reserve..so when you plug it in it wakes back up right away, but if you let it drain tofar, it takes minutes to get enough charge to wake back up.
Hope thats right ??

My IPhone 3GS shuts down

My IPhone 3GS shuts of while making a call & when the wifi is on. I need to connect it to power to put it on. What's to be done? Thanks, E. Frank

try a reset, hold down the home/power button together for 10 to 15 secs or until you see the apple logo and then release. Then wait for you phone to boot back up.

IPhone keeps shutting down by itself

Hello People,

i see a white screen fastly and it crashes and shuts down, then it try's to reboot itself,
So i put it in the computer and updated my os to 4.3.5 (if thats the latest (not 5)).

Video of the crash: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLBCkCiSZu8
How can i fix this or what could be the problem?
Kind Regards,

iPhone shutting OFF by itself is most often due to faulty battery. You have already done a Restore. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for quick free battery dianostic testing to confim that it is a battery problem.

My iPhone 4S Shutting Down by Itself...

I've had the iPhone 4S since launch, but during the past week it has shut down 3 times just by itself. All 3 times the only way I can get it to boot again is by holding down the power and home button. The power button does nothing at all and plugging it into a power outlet or my mba does nothing. Every time it boots back up it shows that the battery is not empty or even in red, so that's definitely not the issue.
Has anyone else experienced something like this?

My iPhone 4S is doing this as well, and it also started about a week ago. Something's not right. Time to investigate further with Apple Support.

IPhone 3GS Shuts Down When I Get To 20% Battery - Battery Doesn't Last

So like everyone now, I'm experiencing battery issues on the 3GS after upgrading to 4.3. My phone can barely get through a 5 hour day at school & it's dead before I even get to work at night. I'm constantly having to keep my phone plugged in to the external battery I bought. My 3GS also automatically shuts down as soon as my phone reaches 20% battery. This never happened before iOS 4.3. Used to be the phone shut off at 2% battery, not 20%. Anybody else experiencing this? I hope this gets fixed in an upcoming update soon.

I have exactly the same issue with iPhone 4 iOS 4.3.3 getting empty battery shutdowns at 20% then at more than 20 % seems to be poor calibration but I don't know how to reach 0% if it keeps shutting at 20% anyways charging to 100% then restoring appears to solve the problem but it's only a matter of time then the problem comes back ... Any ideas

Iphone 3GS shuts down abruptly

My iPhone 3GS was shutting down abruptly. It had iOS 3.1.3, i thought a software update might fix the issue. But even after upgrade to iOS 4.3.3, i am still facing the same issue. Hard reset does not help.
Any help is appreciated.

Try restoring your iPhone.

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!

Why does my Iphone 3gs shut down?

I got a second hand iPhone 3Gs for something less than a year now, according to my serial number it was manufatured on October 2010.
It worked well until about 3 or 4 months ago when it started shutting down at 20% or so and wouldn´t turn on again, it would only show that connect to power symbol, like if it was uncharged, but now it´s gotten worse and it shuts down at 80%, and I can´t even run a game for more than two minutes because it shuts down, so I can´t go anywhere without my charger and that´s kind of annoying.
Anyways, when I connect to power it turns on with the percentage it had before shutting down and if I disconnect it, it won´t run for more than 5 minutes before shutting down again. So I wanna know if I have to replace the battery, or that can be fixed on technical support or something like that.
Thank you.

I see, can you help me telling me if this is expensive and if it can be done on apple stores? There are no attention spots in my city so I don't wanna travel for no reason... Thanks.
