My iPhone 4S won't stay turned off without being plugged into a charger . I reset it and nothing .. Help

Please help !!

Clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush. See if better. If still problem and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up service and take to Apple. If no coverage, clean again with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol. If still problem, next step would be to replace the iPhone charging port with attached flex cable. Apple would handle this with Replacement iPhone 4S for $199.

My iphone4s won't charge while being plugged into any charger/ iPod dock

My iphone4s won't charge while being plugged into any charger/ iPod dock

If the iPhone won't charge when connected to the power adaptor that was included with the iPhone, the same when connected to your computer, and no change when connected to any charger, do you have access to another cable to rule out a problem with the cable being used?
If no change with a known good cable, there is a hardware problem with the iPhone.
Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

LG Ally It won't stay turned off and texting.

I just bought two Allys. The one I gave my son will stay turned off until he decides to turn it on. Also, while it is charging, his screen goes into sleep mode. The one I have will not stay turned off. If it is turned off and I plug it in to charge, it will turn back on. I then turn it off again. It is off for about 3 seconds, then turns itself back on again. The whole time it charges the screen NEVER goes into sleep mode. If I turn it off and leave it (not charging), it periodically will sound as though it is coming on again and the screen will light. Within about 5 seconds, the noise stops and the screen again goes blank. Have any of you had this happen to yours? I think I should take it back. What are your thoughts?
Also, I can receive texts, but it will not send them. Any thoughts?
I appreciate all the help I can get. This is my first Smartphone, and......it doesn't seem to be very smart so far.

Sorry about the problems you are seeing. I'm surprized you're Son's Ally is turning off during a Charge, normally they stay on. The Screen should go into Sleep mode at the interval you set, like 30 Sec, 1 Minute, so on but the phone is on with the LED Lite displaying the charge status, Red, White, or Green. What do you have your Screen time out set to??? Look under Settings>> Sound & Display>> at the very bootom of the menu is Screen TImeout..
The Ally you have that keeps power cycling sounds like there is an issue with it. I know you are running Android 2.1 but what version of LG Software do you have in the Ally? It should be version 'ZV6' to find this out,, Look in the settings> About Phone>> and at the very bottom "SW Version" It should end with 'ZV6"
With the Txt messages, we have seen some issue we think are with Android delaying messages... Not stoping them but some times they come in groups... Is this what you are seeing? Are there any Errors? Have you checked with Verizon to make sure your settings on the network end are correct?
SOmeone mentioned reseting the phone... You can do this if you like, it will erase all of your Personal Data and any Apps you have added, but it will restore the phone to the Factory defaults, just like it came out of the Box... I have seen this clear up some oddities...
Let me know what I can do to help.

M92p won't stay turned off

Just got a brand new M92p here which will not stay turned off. I perform a regular shutdown in Windows, the system turns off for about a second or two, then turns on again automatically and boots into Windows. I turned off all the Wake features except WOL and also disabled Intel AMT. Bios is also set to stay turned off after a power loss.
Any ideas what's going on here?

Well, I don't really know exactly what the problem is for you that's waking up your M92p's. I'm only responding to your comment that you seem to have narrowed it down to those machines which make use of a USB cable connecting the M92p to the Samsung monitor, which has a built-in USB hub.
And the USB hub entries in Device Manager do have a "power management" tab that does have a checkbox that says "allow this device to wake the compurter". So it seemed worth looking at.
It may well be that the "allow this device to wake the computer" is already UN-CHECKED in the power management tab, and in fact I believe it's the Windows default setting for that checkbox. So it's likely that this particular possibile explanation for some way that your Samsung monitors might have been responsible for your M92p's mysteriously waking up, and an easy thing to try with a simple un-check of the option, turns out to be a dead end. But it still seems worth looking into as a possibility. Can't hurt.
And if it turns out that you DO actually have to un-check this option (which for some reason has gotten checked) in all of your machines that use this particular Samsung monitor with the USB cable connection as that DOES fix the problem of all the M92p's waking up unexpectedly, well... that's life in IT I guess.

IPad won't stay turned off

My iPad2 stays turned on and draining the battery.
Closing the cover doesn't put it to sleep.
I also tried (several times) the hard shutdown... Holding down the start & top buttons for over 10 seconds until the screen goes black. Then as soon as I let go, it reboots itself, all the way up to the home screen.
Happens on repeated tries.
Anyone else experienced this obviously wrong behavior? It just started happening to me over the past 2 or 3 days. I've had the iPad for about 19 months.

That didn't do any good either. I' sure now that it's an iPad hardware failure. Several weeks ago, the volume control buttons stopped working ... Press them, and nothing happens. The folks at the apple store tried restoring the unit etc. etc. and nothing helped. They finally noted that the sound would still work if an external speaker is plugged in -- but ONLY if an external was plugged in. They told me that the motherboard was failing and that nothing could be done about it because the 1-yr warranty had expired.
So I' m sure this latest problem is just the next step in the slow death of the hardware, even tho the unit has never been dropped or got wet.
I guess I must just have got a lemon (I assume that not ALL IPads hardware start failing within the first two years).
I'll think about replacing it with a new one, but first I'll take some time to look at Android and Microsoft tablets, too.

Macbook won't stay turned off. Please Help

so i spilled some water on my keyboard and a few of the keys are no longer working however one of the keys is acting like its held down thus keeping my macbook powered up. so every time i shut down it just powers right back up. My question is will an external keyboard cancel out the built-in keyboard and is there a way to make my macbook only power up by pressing the power button at the top right to temporarily fix my problem until i can get it fixed or buy an external keyboard. Any help is good help at this point.
Thanks
Jeff

I've had this same problem off and on for months. It is a major pain since the battery drains quickly win the phone won't stay in the standby or off modes.
I went into the genius bar once but it stopped having the problem about an hour before my appointment.
Usually when this occurs I just dock the phone and hope for the best. Sometimes it fixes itself when attached to the doc and sometimes a hard reset works, but not always. Of course, when I'm out and about I'm screwed since the phone drains quickly.
I am currently experiencing the same problem so I will try a restore at home.
I want this addressed before my warranty is up!

Computer won't stay turned off

Hello,
I have a wierd problem with Arch linux. Doing "shutdown -h now" only gets me to a "power off" message then I have to manually turn off the computer--then after the computer is off for 5-10 minutes it turns back on. I have to actually unplug it to keep it off.
I am using a custom compiled 2.6.5 kernel with a Dell dimension v400 pentium II. The same problem happened when I installed arch with 2.4 kernel--yet it hasn't happened with any other distro that I have tried with this hardware (redhat, gentoo, vector, debian) what is the problem??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-Dustin

Adding this to grub:
(hd0,0)/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/di ............ acpi=on acpi=power-off
did not work..
I recompiled the Kernel with no acpi support and now the computer will stay off (don't need to unplug it anymore), but I still have to press the power button to shut it off (no big deal). Also I was having a problem where the network card would not work after a soft reboot, now it does
thanks for the help

How to extend battery life?

Hi Micsher,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The information below may help you troubleshoot your iPhone battery life issue:
iPhone Battery and Power - Apple Support
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/battery-power/
Battery & power
Is your iPhone battery draining too quickly or not holding a charge? Try restarting it first. You can also adjust several settings to extend the battery life of your iPhone.
Restarting your iPhone
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button on top of your iPhone, then drag the slider to turn it off. Press the button again to restart.
The article below explains how to get the most out of the battery life of your iPhone. I've included some of the highlights below ... click on the link for complete information.
Apple - Batteries - iPhone
http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
Optimize Your Settings
Depending on how they are set, a few features may decrease your iPhone battery life. The tips below apply to an iPhone running iOS 7.0 or later.
Enable Wi-Fi: Having Wi-Fi enabled helps consume less power when doing activities that access data. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and log in to a Wi-Fi network.
Adjust brightness: Dim the screen or turn on Auto-Brightness to extend battery life. Turning on Auto-Brightness allows the screen to adjust based on lighting conditions.
Fetch new data less frequently: The more frequently email or other data is fetched, the quicker your battery may drain. To fetch data manually: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and tap Manually.
Turn off push notifications: Apps with Push Notification alert you of new data, which may impact battery life. To disable, go to Settings > Notifications, choose the app you want to disable, and do the following:
Change Alert Style to None.
Turn Badge App Icon off.
Turn Sounds off.
Note: New data will be received when you open the app.
Minimize use of location services: Apps that actively use location services, such as Maps, may reduce battery life. You can see which applications have recently used location services by going to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
Use Airplane Mode in low- or no-coverage areas: Your iPhone always tries to maintain a connection with the cellular network, which may use more power in low- or no-coverage areas. Turn on Airplane Mode to increase battery life in these situations.
Viewing Usage Statistics
Knowing and understanding your iPhone usage can help you better manage your battery life. To view your iPhone usage statistics, go to Settings > General > Usage. Under “Time since last full charge”:
Usage: Amount of time iPhone has been awake and in use since the last full charge. iPhone is awake when you’re on a call, using email, listening to music, browsing the web, or sending and receiving text messages, or during certain background tasks such as auto-checking email.
Standby: Amount of time iPhone has been powered on since its last full charge, including the time the phone has been asleep.
Cheers,

My phone keeps turning off without being dead

Hi, i'm having trouble with my phone. It's keeps turning off on me out of no where and it shoes me to connect it to the charger. i'm not sure why ittells me to connect it to the charger when it;s not even dead, or even less than a 20% charge.

If you're using any accessories with the iPhone, like a case with a battery, try testing without it.
If that doesn't do it, try restoring the iPhone.

I have the iPhone4. It wont stay on unless it's plugged into the charger. When on the charger it doesn't get service or connect to wifi. Sometimes, even on the charager it shuts off. Note: It's always on 100% to 90%. How do I fix this?

As stated. I have the iPhone4, I've had it personally for a year now. It's a hand-me-down phone from my uncle who had for for at least two years. For an old phone it worked perfectly. The ocassional hang up on the caller when I try to lock it, but overall it worked perfectly.
Now, it started to glitch out a lot. From not letting me unlock my phone for the few minutes, to now shutting off on on regardless of where it's at. I started noticing that my phone would shut itself off, even at 40% when I'm at work. To fix it I would have to find a charger, plug it in for a few moments and it would turn back on. I would be cautious not to put it upsidedown otherwise it'd shut off again.
As of last night, ((9/18/13 )) My phone turned off. I've already gone through the charade numerous times. So I put it on my charger but this time when my phone turned on I didn' have service and it didnt get wifi. Even the red buttons/notifications on my phone were there but didn't read any numbers. Obvioulsy I couldn't make calls or even send a text messages. Sometimes when it turns on I can't even use my apps. Even when fully charged, the moment the chargers is slightly out my phone shuts off as if it died
Now, my phone even on the charger shuts on and off. I'm unable to use apps. I get no service or wifi.
Is this fixable? Or has my phone had it's last Hoorah?

it sure sounds like the battery is defect

Automatically turn off wifi when plugged into LAN?

What happens:
I go to a site and put my nice MacBook Pro down. I then plug into their wired network and then discover that I am accessing the wrong network. I look up and notice that the wifi is hooking into a nearby access point.
What I Expected:
When I plug in a wired LAN, it should turn off wifi.
Ciao!

Michael Ray5 wrote:
is it THAT much of an inconvenience to just click on the wifi symbol in the menu bar and select "Turn Airport Off" ?
I performed extensive experiments and this can be accomplished in under 2 seconds, on average.
I didn't say it's a hardship, but it's something the computer should be able to do automatically. Following rules like that are something computers are good at. I'm not.
Taking the same argument, they could just have a drop down that lets you pick "better performance" or "better power savings" and you could click it your self when running off battery or not. But it makes much more sense to have the computer detect this situation and react accordingly.
Do you have a helpful suggestion?
Ciao!
