My iphone 4s went dead, recovered and dies twice or more times a day after that

My Iphone 4s was found dead during the day. I did a hard reset and manage to open it, asked me to restore it again and succesfully worked for less than a day. This is happening for the last 5 days. Today it went dead 5 times. I bought this device in the USA and now i am in Greece where Apple does not provide a direct service, only via the local carriers who service only the ones they sale. This is not a propper commercial attitude.
So fellows please help.  THANKS

What made the trick for me was to drain the phone completely - until it dies. (It took quite a while to go from 3% to 0...). Then, charge it overnight.
Previous days I would start charging it with the battery at 10-15%, on red. Also for the last week I've been trying disabling functions, with the hope of finding what was the "offending" piece but without much success. Still was loosing about 10% per hour, just by using it to check emails, maps, and sometimes a call.
Today is almost two hours since I left home, with everything turned on again, used mail, maps with traffic during the ride to work, some browsing - using it "normally" - and the battery is still at 95%.
That looks more like normal to me.!!
Might try to drain it to 0% again as many other suggested, but if it is a battery charger "calibration", it shouldn't be necesary to do it more than once.

    Help iphone 4S went dead, I did not drop it, docked to PC and error came up that it can't be restored

    Hi
    I followed this guy's instructions and it worked:
    http://evsiphone.blogspot.com/2009/05/iphone-iphone-could-not-be-restored.html
    I did disable the security (AVG and Zone Alarm) when I tried on my own PC. My wife's laptop which eventually got it working also uses AVG and Zone Alarm but on an XP O/S whereas my PC is Vista - maybe this is why.
    Cheers for you help.

    During the night my iPhone 4S went dead and the screen was black. The bottons wouldn't answer on anything, so I readed on the net that I should hold down both bottons and make a restart. This worked and the iPhone started up with 60% battery level. Why???

  • IPhone 4S went dead at 51%

    Today my iPhone 4S went dead at 51%, tried to turn it on and said it was dead and needed to charge, waited around 15 mins to try turn it back on ( I didn't charge it ) and it turned on but went to 46% , then at 41% the same thing happened! And it happened again at 29% I only have it a week and it's doing this! Can someone please help?:(

    reset: hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot  back up.

  • IPhone 5s went dead permanently

    My iPhone 5s went dead permanently, it was fine and one day while in my car I had it plugged into the auxiliary and the charger and when I turned the ac on it made noise and went dead. Restarted it and was fine for a couple weeks and then it just died and it won't charge come on, it does absolutely nothing, it's not even a year old

    Not even a year old is great! (Not that it died, but that it did so within warranty.)
    Apple has a one year warranty on all phones. Dig out your proof of purchase, or date of activation and contact Apple for a replacement.

  • I did a backup from all my files saved in old external hd to time capsule. After that double checked and recover one file from TC to mac air and it worked just perfect. Today went through TC to recover another file and none of them were there?

    It's good for that . . . 
    But also I don't keep all my stuff in my Mac.
    But not for that. 
    This older and not day-by-day usage files I want to store in the time machine.
    You can do that (see below), but how are you going to back them up?   If your only copies are on the TC, when (not if) it fails, you risk losing your only copy of the data.
    Is it possible to split TC in two partitions.
    No, but there are some workarounds, including making a fixed-size disk image on it to "reserve" some space.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule.
    But you still won't have backups of the stuff you put there.
    You don't say what kind of Mac you have.  If it's a desktop model, just keep the external HD connected to it, and let Time Machine back it up along with your internal HD.
    However, it sounds like you may have a laptop, where that's not going to be convenient.  In that case, your best bet might be to copy the external HD to a disk image on the TC as above, then keep the HD in a safe place.
    To finish, when i enter the TC and go through the Time line how can I get a file from there and move it back to Mac hd.
    Via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    You might also want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse the rest of the FAQ.

    If your phone is not covered by the warranty anymore, Apple will replace it for a new device, same model and size, if you are willing to pay the service fee.
    If you decide to get a 3rd party company to do the repair, Apple will not service your phone anymore after that.

  • My iphone 5 went off suddenly and did not become on

    My iPhone 5 went off suddenly and did not became on

    Is the battery on the phone completely drained? Is so it may take some time after it is connected to the charger before it responds. Plug the phone into the charger that came with it and plug the charger into a good wall outlet. Wait at least 15 minutes. Then  reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the phone restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is at 100%. If the phone does not start Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Will Verizon Stop encrypting sim cards for iPhones so users can talk and surf at the same time?

    Will Verizon stop encrypting iPhone sim cards so users can surf and talk simultaneously?

    I can prove that this is not the case. I travel abroad monthly and have sim cards for these 2 countries i frequent and i can surf and talk at the same time. The claim that it needs another antenna does not support my findings. Can we be more transparent please. As a costumer i find it highly inconvenient to have to hang up a call with someone just to access an email.

    I bought this iPhone from a guy and later on he passed away in Syria , after that , I tried to update the soft ware to ISO 7 but the system asked me for the old owner's information which I do not know so could you please advice me on that , what can I do to reactivate the device ?

    You cannot reactivate the device without knowing the previous owner's information.  This is the new antitheft measure built into the iPhone. 
    There's nothing you can do.  You'll need to purchase a new phone.

  • I barely bought my iphone 6 plus in october and the speaker looks white how would i clean that?

    I barely bought my iphone 6 plus in october and the speaker looks white how would i clean that?

    White from what? Lint? Try a small soft brush with a vacuum and see if you can gently brush it out. A vacuum will help lift the lint rather than possibly getting pushed into the phone.
