My iPhone 4 registered 60% battery and two minutes later completely shut down

My iPhone 4 registered 60% battery and two minutes later completely shut down, next day it said it had zero battery and turns back on after plugging in for a few minutes... what's going on?  I was using the maps application in the minutes before it shut down on me.

Maybe it's just the battery percentage display that is messed up?  Have you done the recommended monthly or so drain the iPhone down to the point it shuts down and then charge to 100%, to recalibrate the readout?

  • Is the W520 supposed to whirrr and click even when completely shut down?

    I just received my W520 (#4270CTO) about 3 weeks ago.  This is my first laptop (to be used for video editing and animation), so I'm not sure what to expect.
    I noticed that when I shut down the W520 (go to "Start" select "shutdown"), it continues to make a very faint whirrr and click noise.  The noise pattern goes like this:  long whirrrr, click, short period of silence, then it repeats.  It does this all the time when the computer is turned off.  Even when I don't use the computer for 2 days, and it is turned off, it continues to whirr and click.  It only stops when I disconnect the battery and reinstall it.  Only then, is it completely silent.
    Is it supposed to do that (the whirr and click all the time)?
    The whirr and click noise is very soft, so you have to lift it up and listen to it but it is audible.  My friend says that it is the hard drive noise, and said it should not be doing that, but he doesn't have a W520, and isn't familiar with it.  So I thought I should ask someone else who has one to see if theirs is doing the same thing.
    I also noticed that the fingerprint reader LED stays lit all the time except for when the computer is on and I'm using it.  It stays green even when the computer is shut down and the lid is closed.
    Please help.  Is my W520 working properly, or should I call for tech support?
    Thanks for any comments and advice.

    The power brick makes no noise.  I am charging the battery now, and the power brick is warm but silent.
    I've only noticed the noise coming from the underside of the computer when my W520 is turned off with the battery still attached.
    If I remove the battery and reinstall it, the noise stops.
    If I plug in the power brick, the noise stops.  (The brick doesn't even have to be plugged into a wall socket.  I could just plug the power brick into the computer without plugging in the other end to a power supply.)
    Of course, if I remove the battery the noise also stops.
    But if I use the W520, then shut it down and leave the battery attached, it will continue to make the faint long whirrr and click noise.  I have let it sit without turning on the machine for 3 days, and it continued to make the soft noise every day.
    I don't suppose your computer makes the same noise.  Maybe my computer really is defective.  It works great otherwise.

  • My laptop doesnt bootup it will work and then days later it shuts down and unable to start up again

    has there been a recall on HP Pavilion dv6325 us entertainment
    is there a problem with the video card?

    There was not a recall but a warranty enhancement but it is long over. The class action against nVidia is closed now. You are on your own. There are several fine services on ebay that will fix it for around $100, but you should think of that as extending the life for maybe a year. Still $100 for a year of use is good. You might also think about a new laptop. The dv6325us is now at least 4 years old so you got a decent life out of it.

  • I have a iPhone 4 and lately it has been shutting down randomly when I still have battery left. It also doesn't turn back on, until I plug it in to the charger. But when I plug it in, the low battery sign shows up then comes to the lock screen with 68%.

    I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
    I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more.  And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should.  On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much.  I will post a note in the app store to let them know.  I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
    I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine. 
    Starbucks app works as it should. 
    I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

  • My lock button broke a while ago on my phone, and two minutes ago my screen just went black. my phone didn't die because it was on 80%, i don't know what happened. any ideas on how to turn it back on or what happened?

    my lock button broke a while ago on my phone, and two minutes ago my screen went comletely black. it was simply placed on my table. i know it didn't die because it was on 80%, but any ideas on how to turn it back on or what happened to my phone?

    If plugging it into power doesn't cause it to power back on, you're going to have to make an appointment at the genius bar and get it serviced.

  • I go to play on a game on my iPad it will load the game up and a minute later will go to a blank screen and then back to all my apps.does it everybtime? Why is that? What do I need to do to stop it?

    1. Close all inactive apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two and tap the minus sign to close app.
    2. Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo

  • The error console, I clear it and 4 minutes later it has 100's of yellow, pink & blue message lines in it, without me making 100's of clicks or commands ?? .... Other than the error console filling up faster than a superman, it seems to be working fine.

Other than error console filling up faster than a superman, it seems to be working fine. why does it register so many yellow, pink & blue warnings, errors, etc. ???
    This happens no matter where I am browsing, yahoo, google, mail or news. Clearing the console seems to help with the speed of FF after an hour or so of browsing, it slows down terribly and if not cleared and or shut down and relaunching FF, both actually, it is painfully slow, like dial-up.

  • My iPad 2 won't charge and it's completely shut down. I've tried pressing the two buttons simultaneously, but nothing works. It's driving me crazy! Any offers of suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    My iPad 2 won't charge and it's completely shut down. I've tried pressing the two buttons simultaneously, but nothing works. It's driving me crazy! Any offers of suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    1. The most efficient way to charge an iPad is with the charger that came with the iPad and having that plugged into a wall outlet. Trying to charge while connected to a laptop often doesn't work because the USB port may not provide enough power.
    2. Once an iPad battery has completely drained it may take an hour or more on the wall charger before the iPad responds. So after an hour on the charger reset the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
    3. If the iPad still does not start up make an appt at the Apple store. It will be far better if you have an appointment rather than just walking in because those with appointments will be taken care of before you are.

  • Hi, my iphone 4s shuts down randomly, Apple told me the phone is fine, I did a 2nd restore, deactivated iCloud, and no the frequency of shutting down is even more, any help please ?

    Hi, my iphone 4s ios 6.0.1 shuts down randomly, Apple told me the phone & battery are fine as it holds a charge, I did a 2nd restore, deactivated iCloud, and now the frequency of shutting down is even more, any help please ?

    It's almost impossible to say whether it's the battery or something else.  If you're running 6.0.1 and you've done a restore and set it up as new, there are no other software updates to try.
    If there's no Apple Store near you, contact Apple Care. If  you can't wait for a replacement phone, you may be able to get an express replacement (they ship you the replacement before you ship them yours, but they will put a hold on your credit card until yours is in their hands).

  • I performed a software update and the system is installing an update but it has been running for over 24hrs and keeps saying "This may take a few minutes, don't shut down your computer" Can anyone help?

    Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
    This happens the same whenever I try to install.
    To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
    My plugin is still showing as out of date.
    Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

  • When I turn on my wifi in top bar and connect,minutes later I get an annoying pop up notification letting me know I'm connected, AGAIN. It freezes everything including psswds and I have to start all over This is petty but how do I shut this popup off?

    When I turn on my wifi in top bar and connect,minutes later I get an annoying pop up notification letting me know I'm connected, AGAIN. It freezes everything including psswds and I have to start all over. This is petty, but how do I shut this popup off?

    What OS X version are you using?
    Can you take a screenshot of the pop-up notification?
    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    If you want to attach a screenshot to a response here, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the window the cursor is on.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.

    We bought the new iphone 5s when they came out from at&t and my dad has completely shut off and won't do anything? It has not been in ANY water or anything else that could have caused this.

    Try to reset the device:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • After updating my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.0.5., it has shut down and i still can't turn it back on!

    After updating my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.0.5., it has shut down and i still can't turn it back on! I can't even install iTunes on my computers! Yesterday evening I updated it but it didn't work, so i tried to reinstall it and there was written that that i couldn't install iTunes on that computer. So this morning I've tried to install it to another computer but it says the same.. Can someone help me, please?

    Are you uninstalling just iTunes?  Because if so, you actually have to uninstall five separate programs, and THEN reinstall.

  • I have MacBook Pro and whenever I start Aperature 3 it stays on for about 5 minutes then it shuts down with an error of shutting down unexpected... anything??

    Hello, I have MacBook Pro and whenever I start Aperature 3 it stays on for about 5 minutes then it shuts down with an error of shutting down unexpected... anything??
    Also does anyone know how to take something from one picture and add it to another in aperature?
    Thank you!!!

    I had the exact same problem. Here is what an Apple Support person told me to do - and it worked like a charm!
    Go to your APPLICATIONS Folder. Find a folder within that folder called TOOLBARS. Remove the ENTIRE folder. Once you remove that folder, your Aperture should work perfectly.
    There is something in that folder that you don't need that messes with Aperture. Try it. Mine worked perfectly!
