My iPhone 5 keeps restarting while charging

I have an iPhone 5. Whenever I plug it in, all that happens is a never ending loop of restarts. I can't interact with it either. I tried putting it in DFU mode and restoring it within iTunes, but that didn't work. I also tried finding an answer to this with in the forms but I couldn't find anyone with a description that matches my problem.
I'm runnig iOS 8.1.1

Are you using the USB cable that came with the phone?
Is it charging when connected?
This might be a hardware issue, depending on the use of the phone the battery might be not charging anymore or damaged otherwise.

My newly 7.1 updated iPhone 4S keeps restarting while showing a low battery level. does the same even if i put it on charge.

as in title

Hello marco.vet,
I've located another discussion on our site that provides some useful information regarding this effect.

It's probably the battery indicator, not the battery itself. Run it down until it shuts down automatically. Ignore any low battery alerts that appear. Then, charge it overnight with the 10W charger. That should clear things for you.

Iphone 5 keeps restarting while syncing, updating or pluged in

Hello,
first of all sorry for my enlgish.. so please, be patient... i'm having a problem with my iphone 5 that showed up after i updated to iOS 8.1.2. First i saw that after the whole night charging, battery shows that its 52% charged so i restarted and that was the start of the biggest problem.. after restart phone starts to rebooting by itsef every 2 minutes. I've tried to restore it, but that didnt helped me so i took it to apple service. They said that whey cant help it, because phone was bought not from mobile operator and they cant change it without a charge(im out of warranty). I took back, tried factory reset, but nothing changed after. But, after i restored from backup, disconnected from itunes, updated apps(everything took really long when its restarting every 2 minutes...) and when it was finnished(app uploading), phone restarted couple more times and now it works for about an hour, but when i connect it to itunes, charging, syncing, updating apps it starts all over again its rebooting every 2 minutes like before.
Is there anybody who had/having the same problem? know the solution or at least know what could be wrong with it? is that a battery, memory, something from the hardware or software problem?
thank you for any information.

5s keeps restarting while charging..stuck on apple logo

I just updated my 5s 32g -space gray to ios 7.0.2 evertime i plug it in the wall charger it shuts off and blinks the apple logo.. tried restoring it a few times same thing keeps happening..
also the power button is loose and keep shaking a bit im not sure if thats also normal or not

The power buttons seems like it is fine. The rest of your problems, ie not Restoring is a very bad sign. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple or take receipt, box and everything in it back to where you bought it.

My iPhone 5 keeps restarting while using FaceTime

Everytime I use FaceTime my phone restarts after a couple mins. I tried resetting my phone but it didn't work, it's still restarting. Help me please!

Most of the iPhone users having the same issue on latest iOS 7.1.1 specially. This is basically the software fault.

My iPhone 4 keeps restarting it's self & Won't Charge

"APPLE HARDWARE/SOFTWARE PRODUCT PROBLEMS WITH MINE & WORLDWIDE"

24-06-2011
As from Friday 24th June 2011 when I purchased my iPhone 4 it Won't Charge, stays in the red & go above 5% even after 2-3+ days no difference charging plus I tried x4 different Apple charges but it made no difference at all to the problems with the iPhone 4.

iPhone 4 keeps restarting it's self every 30 seconds
3.
24-06-2011
I do a system restore many times via iTunes
4.
I do a hard reset by holding the power & home button for 45sec x5 times
5.
I do a battery calibration by holding the power & home button for 25secas I'm told via online forum
6.
Just finely get the iPhone 4 updated to latest 4.3.3 OS via iTunes
7.
I leave iPhone 4 to completely dis charge where it won't start at all & then recharge it where charge holds for a couple of hours but then only to turn itself off when the power meter is reading 64% but won't restart after pressing power button.
8.
So I pug the iPhone 4 back on its charger for a couple of hours but it still reads only 1% battery power so I do another by holding the power & home button for 25 seconds as I'm told via online forum up to which the battery meter reads 96% as to will not charge no higher than 93-96% but again the seconds later the iPhone 4 again starts keeping restarting it's self every 30 seconds nonstop all over again.
9.
Nothing has help with this piece of Apple ****.
10.
Reading more online forum where this is a very common problem with it seem that all iPhone models, iPad’s, iPod 4 it also had similar problems as did mine.
11.
Just finely get the iPhone 4 updated to latest x4.more times of the iPhone OS via iTunes which has made NO DIFFERENCE to the continued problems with this APPLE PIECE OF CRAP.

Hi, did you ever solve this problem?
My 1 year old -- ha! one month out of warranty -- iPhone 4 has been having a nearly identical problem over the past few days.
It started by dying completely so I had the battery replaced, thinking it was simply battery issue.
It then worked again for a moment but started doing exactly what you describe, going through a reset cycle (longer than 30 seconds but who's counting). And it felt quite warm.
Did hard reset, plugged into wall charger and MBP USB but the new battery wouldn't even get a full charge (a whopping 92% after nearly two days). It would even lose battery when plugged in if I opened an app. And all the while plugged in, if I left the phone on, it would cycle through these resets. So I turned it off to try to charge it.
Now suddenly, it's dead again. Totally black, and hard reset does nothing. Up until two days ago there was nothing wrong whatsoever with this phone! And I hadn't even installed a new app that could be the root of the issue. No idea whatsoever what caused this.
Any help would be much appreciated!!

Iphone 4 keeps restarting every 3 min but only when being used

Iphone 4 keeps restarting every 3 min but only when being used, it doesn't matter what I do with it, it has to restart itself during usage, it's so annoying. I have restored but still no luck, currently trying to update the software once I've finished downloading it but I know it will keep restarting when connected to itunes.
Anyways when I do decided to bring it to the apple store would I need to bring the receipt with me?
because i dont have it anymore only the phone, box charger and usb
thanks

Anyways when I do decided to bring it to the apple store would I need to bring the receipt with me?
No. The warranty is tied to the device, not the individual & all iphone 4's are still under warranty.

Iphone 4s keeps restarting

My iPhone 4S keeps restarting. At first, it wouldn't lock so I let the battery wear all the way down. It recharged, but then started prompting to power down as though I had was pressing and holding down the power button. I would hit "cancel" to return to whatever I was doing but the power down message would keep reappearing. I tried resetting it and now the white apple icon just keeps appearing and disappearing every few seconds. I'm running OS6.

Try a hard reset:
- hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
- the phone will turn off but when the apple logo appears release both buttons
If the issue remains you would need to try and back up and restore your iPhone. Follow the articles below to do this:
