My iPhone 4S keeps turning back on if it isn't plugged into a charger?
I bought my iPhone 4S recently. When I try to turn off my iPhone it keeps turning back on. The only times it stays turned off is when I have it plugged into a charger. I have tried holding the sleep/wake button and sliding the shut off tab and also holding the home button & sleep/wake button at the same time while unplugged from the charger; on both occasions it has turned back on without me doing anything. I would just like to know what is happening and also if they're is a solution for it.
Hi, I have the same problem. I tried to call them but they tried to make me pay $99 only to talk to them, so I dicided not to talk to them. Btw, did you get the solution for that? Thanks

can someone tell me how i can get my oiphone 4 to turn back on or has any idea what this problem is
Hi gillybabe82,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Take a look at the article linked below, it provides a lot of great suggestions and will help you solve the iPhone power issue that you described.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
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 LCIs and 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.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
I hope this helps.

Also, it shutdown unexpectedly when I was using an application. I use it regularly.
Have you tried plugging the charger into a different electrical outlet?

Why does my iPhone 4 keep turning of when the personal hotspot is turned on
My iPhone 4 keeps turning itself off when I connect my laptop into it with the personal hotspot. I have a Sony Vaio and it only turns off when it's plugged into that. My iPhone is iOS 5.0.1. Please help
if you have phone support they can help you. since you are going into the retail store they can help you out to. it sounds like a software issue which shouldn't be too hard for them to fix. if they cant tho they will probably replace it.

Is it common that iPhone would make buzzing sound after plugged into a charger?
Hi, I have recently noticed that my iPhone would make buzzing sound through the headphone jack after plugged into a charger. I am not sure if this is common among other iPhones.
Yeah it is. Also tried with computer, dock, etc.

iPhone 3GS keeps turning off/shutting down. After numerous attempts I've managed to get it on again. Any ideas - could it be battery? Suggestions welcome.
Try forcing the phone into recovery mode and restore as a new device.
Follow these steps:
iOS: How to back up your device and setup as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
Doing this will help eliminate any possible software issue that could be causing this. Setting up a new device will bypass a backup with possible data corruption.
If the issue continues after this, you should contact Apple for service for the phone as it will very likely be a hardware issue. -
just got a replacement iPhone 4s and i let the battery run down all the way before charging it and now that i have put it on the charger it won't turn back on or show any signs that it is charging. its just a black screen. how do i fix it
Keep iPhone on wall charger for ten minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to respond.

My iPhone 5 keeps turning off on its own randomly what should I do
My iPhone 5 keeps turning off on its own randomly, sometimes turning itself back on automatically but sometimes staying off, i have tried a system restore but has no effect, what should I do?
Do you have a case on the iPhone? Did you accidentally drop it or damage it in anyway?
You could try restoring the iPhone and setting it up as a new device, as shown here -> iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device -
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. -
I updated my iPhone with the new update..and then it turned off...instead of turning back on it tells me to plug it into iTunes..and when I do iTunes tells me that my phone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored..is there anything I can do without restoring it?
Same thing happened here ~ tech guy at a local authorized Apple repair store said it had something to do with improper backup from which the restore would be made. Still have a phone that asks to be connected to Itunes but won't do anything else . . . frustrated.

My iPhone 5s won't charge, unless I plug into the charger and turn it off and back on again? How do I fix this problem?
Try cleaning out the phone's connector. Else take it in to Apple, you have a 1 year warranty.

Reset iphone won't turn back on
reset iphone won't turn back on
Your post is extremely vague and several months old but hopefully this info can help others seeking a solution. I too had a problem with my iPhone (3gs in my case) not coming back up.
What happened -- I was using it normally and it rebooted and was stuck on the apple for a long time and wouldn't ever get past it. So I tried to reboot it by pressing power + home but it would just reset and never power off, and get stuck every time.
What I did to fix it -- I actually had to just remove the SIM card then reboot the phone. After it came back up I put the SIM card back in. It froze up for a short time after that as the service reactivated. But then it is back to normal now finally. Whew! -
