My Iphone 3GS turning off and on by itself...

Suddenly my Iphone 3GS turned off and after 3 minutes it turns on again, and so on.The battery is fully charged. I've tried to reset it but still won't work, I've switched it off and on again after sometime and still won't work. Any advice/help please.

this is happening to my phone, i changed the battery, i tryed the logic board in another phone and it worked fine, there dosnt seem to be much else in there, still cant get it going.

    my iphone 3gs turned off and on abruptly?

    Try holding down the Sleep/Wake button and Home button at the same time,
    Continue to hold both down until you see the Apple Logo on the screen. Once you see the Apple Logo on the screen let go of both buttons and allow the iPhone to reset.
    Hope this helps

  • Why does my iPhone 3GS turn off and on after few minutes

    My iphone 3 GS has been turned off for a week. Now when I use it it turns off and on (by itself) every few minutes.

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Restart / Reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Phone On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step... Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • Iphone 3GS turns off and goes dead after i make or receive a call.

    Hi i bought a Iphone 3Gs unlocked from a Grainger Games store in liverpool two days ago. I live in Ireland so returning would be hard but possible. I have charged the phone for 9 hours and it said 100 % charge but any time i make or receive a call it powers off and wont turn on until i charge it again. When i do charge it, it goes back to saying the percentage it was before it turned off .
    Is there a way to fix this problem? Does it need a new battery or is it a problem with the phones hardware?
    I would rather not have to return it but if i have to i will .
    Can anyone help with this please.
    Thanks.

    It needs a new battery.

  • My iphone 3gs turned off and wont turn on or connect to itunes. its fully charged, and told me to reactivate it, but it wont connect. what do i do?

    what do i do?

    I have the same problem.  My iPhone 3GS was working just fine until I upgraded the OS to 5.0.1 a couple of days ago. When it complained about SIM card, I got that replaced and still the problem persisted. I tried to activate the Phone using my Wi-Fi and that also did not work.  The phone has become unusable now.
    When I contacted the CSR, he says that my phone already would have broken and that is why the upgrade did not go through which is not a fact after seeing these postings.
    Apple, instead of finding a solution to this, recommend buying another equipment.  Is there a way to revert back to older OS?

  • My Iphone 3gs shuts off and on by itself several times.

    I bought a Iphone 3gs from a friend and it has no service on it yet. Anyways it turns itself off and on several times through out the day would not haveing and service cause this issue? Also when i plug it up to the computer and try to sync it with itunes it continuesly does it over and over. Could i get some help please

    hey ive had this problem too!....i took it to the apple store and they said the 3gs is now "old" and i need a new one and it may be the battery, i changed the battery but that didnt make a difference!...ive found that its a problem with the software  and im in the process of trying to fix it myself...troubleshooting and resetting the settings back to factory settings may just do the trick!

  • IPhone 3gs turns off while having 60-80% battery

    hello, iphone 3gs turns off while there is enough battery to be consumed. Round about 60 to 80 percent battery is more enough to keep alive an iphone for a whole day long. what suggestion you recommend, help asap......

    You could try to disconnect and after a few minutes reconnect the battery. That theoretically resets the phone BIOS and is supposed to help regarding the reboot issue (see post by NIKKOH007) http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2471090&start=2055&tstart=30
    Or replace the battery altogether with a newer, iOS 4 compatible battery. At iFixit.com they have come to the conclusion that not all batteries in the 3GS are necessarily iOS4.x compatible or a battery defect may be exposed after updating.

  • My iPhone 3GS turned off suddenly

    My iPhone 3GS turned off suddenly and when i switched it on it give me that there is no battery then when i charge it i fined that the battery between 60% to 30% i have tried to restore it but the same problem came out
    i bought my iPhone 3GS since Apr 2010

    This sounds like the same problem i'm having.  I have to upgrade my os to most current.  Really don't want to do a restore.  I've read another post from someone who's problem seemed the same as mine and it was actually the battery.  After having battery replaced, it worked fine.  Whatever the problem actually is, I hope it won't cost a lot to fix. 

  • This is a weird start to my question; but i went to a music festival today and I was in a mosh pit and it was hot, and my iPhone 4 turned off and I was wondering weather it was from the heat or something else? And what I could do to fix it? Thankyou :)

    Hello there, LaruaGalliers.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some great troubleshooting steps for your issue:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
    Particularly:
    Battery does not charge
    Verify that the outlet being used is working.
    Try another USB power adapter if available.
    If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
    Try another USB cable if available.
    iPhone or iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
    If you see the image below, charge the iPhone or iPod touch with USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.    
    You should see this image when iPhone or iPod touch begins to charge:
    If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning the iPhone or iPod touch off and then on again.
    If the issue persists, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • My iphone 5c turned off and won't turn back on. What do I do?

    My iphone 5c turned off and won't turn back on. What do I do?

    Try resetting the device: Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). If the Apple appears, the reset is in progress, and the Slide to Unlock screen will display shortly.
    Make sure the battery is charged. If you think it may not be charged, then plug the device into the charger and try resetting after 5 minutes or so.
    Cheers,

  • My iphone 4 turns off and on when ever i try to reboot and turn off each and every 5 second?

    hi there,
                my iphone 4 turns off and on in each and every 5 seconds when ever i try to reboot and turn off. i was just trying to get ridge of this things. so culd u help me plz !!!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
