My iPhone 5s keeps deactivating itself.

Let it first be said that I jumped in a pool with my iPhone 5s. I was able to open it up, dry it out, and it was functioning fine until I left it out in a rainstorm. At first, everything was fine, but I started noticing that a few things were amiss. I could listen to my iPhone with earphones, but was not getting full sound out of my Apple earphones with a mic. Also, Bluetooth would work for Siri, but not for a phone call. I don't know where the signal went, I couldn't hear anything until I went back to the iPhone. Finally, since I upgraded to 8.0.2 my phone keeps deactivating itself and can't keep a good cellular signal. Of course, by now I've messed around inside my phone several times. Anyone?

Someone else may be able to offer suggestions, but my best guess is the water has permanently damaged some components. The only solution is to replace your phone.
Seeing as you've worked on it yourself, Apple will not sell you an out of warranty replacement. You would have to pay full price for a phone.
You may want to seek help over at ifixit.com to see if anyone there has had similar issues/can suggest parts to try replacing.

My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time for no reason every time I put it on silent or just get a Facebook message I have a broken sleep/power button anyone know how to fix this problem?

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.

My iphone 5 keeps switching itself on and off and screen different colours?

My iphone 5 keeps switching itself on and off randomly, the screen has also gone a green and red colour prior to it turning itself off and sometimes will not come back on unless re-set? help?!

If you already tried a restore to factory settings, it looks like a hardware issue to me.
I would take it to an Apple Store for replacement.

Hello there, Fernandox26.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting isues with unexpected power issues with your iOS device:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
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 LCIsand 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.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

Why does my iphone 4 keep rebooting itself uncontrollably

i left my iphone 4 in my car in sub zero temperatures for a few hours while skiing and when i came back it started acting all weird and refused to turn on. so thinking it was just cold and needed some time to reheat itself, i wernt home and plugged it in and let it warm itself back up for the night. i went and checked on it later on in that same day and i would work, but the processing seemed unusually slow. for example the screen and menu button would delay bigtime. thinking it was still a little cold i decided to reet it and then from there it progessively got worse to the point where neither the screen or menu button would work. i have tried plugging it into my computer, itunes will read that my iphone is there but it just keeps turning itself on until it reaches the lock screen, then it will reboot itself and continue this process. some help please!!!

Clear the App from background memory, and then try it again.
Do not use the faulty App.
If this happens with all Apps, Restore iphone firmware with iTunes, when asked at end set up as New.
If still problems could be faulty battery, which will be covered by Warranty.

IPhone 4 keeps rebooting itself

Okay so my iPhone keeps restarting itself. It gets these white horizontal lines, almost like a gameboy shutting off. Than turns black and restarts. It's was running iOS 5.0.1. I restored several times and put it into that DFU mode several times as well.

Seems like you are out of luck here. Your warranty is voided considering that you changed the black parts to the white parts. You even tried restoring, which that did not help. Even if you go to the Apple store, it is very unlikely that they will replace it, just because white models are not out and they can check what the actual color of the phone was through the serial number and the model number.

Iphone 3g keeps rebooting itself - Help!

Since yesterday my iphone 3g has been going very slow. Today it decided just to give up on me completely. Wouldn't let me into any of my apps etc. So connected to my laptop, but gave me two error messages the first one being a number saying it was an error. The second one said that the iphone wouldn't let it connect.
It has now decided to just keep rebooting itself, taking about 5 minutes to load up & then flicks to home screen then reboots again. Tried holding in the off button & home at same time to over write the restart. Nothing.
Any suggestions would be grateful? Phone is just 2 years old!
Thanks x

Restore it from you backup. Use Recover or DFU mode if iTunes won't recognize it.

IPhone 3g keeps rebooting itself

yesterday all of a sudden every time i checked my phone i had no signal bars. i figured it was the area i was in. once i left it continued to have no service. i turned it off then back on and since then it keeps rebooting itself. i connected it to itunes to try to restore it and it restores but does not sync. it reboots midway through the process. can anyone help me out?

Well the post says the question is answered - but a quick search on Google for "iphone keeps rebooting" reveals many thousands of people with this problem... including me yesterday!
I seem to have gotten mine fixed... Somehow I managed to get the phone to reboot in recovery mode. This stopped it rebooting, as long as I didn't press the round button. After that, without starting it or pressing ANY buttons I plugged it into my laptop and selected restore. This restores the firmware, but when I tried to then re-sync the songs, it crashed again. I thought it was all over. However... the second time I did indeed manage to re-sync everything - and so far to day, everything seems reasonably stable. Mind you. I have to "reactivate" my phone connection with O2 in the process though... very odd and frankly Apple should be a bit more open about this clearly known issue and tell us what to do... either play around or get straight to a store.

My iPhone 4S keeps turning itself off :/

I have an iPhone 4S, it keeps turning itself of on its own and crashing. I've restated it, reset it and been to an apple shop but the Genius Bar told me that this is a software problem which they can't do anything about. They've offered me a refurbished iPhone 4S but I would have to pay £180 for it. Is there anything else I can do? I know they've admitted that it's a software malfunction and I'm really not happy they won't replace the damaged product free of charge. Just wondering if there's anything else I could try. Thanks

Exactly the same problem and answer by Apple. Disgusted so went and brought a Samsung. Problem solved.

IPhone 3G keeps turning itself off and on by itself-Any advice how to stop?

Earlier today, I noticed that my iPhone 3G began cycling back and forth between the main menu and the screen that has the red slider button that you can push to turn the phone off. It is cycling back and forth on its own without any human touch whatsoever. It is going through the cycle every 30-45 seconds. If I turn the phone off using this screen, the phone turns itself back on. If I choose to ignore it, after about 30 or 45 seconds or so, it will go back to the main menu. I did a full restore and it is still doing the same thing. I have the settings for "Auto Lock" set to "Never" so I don't think it's a problem with that setting. Does anyone have any other suggestions for how I might address this problem?? THANKS for any help and/or suggestions on how to cure my problem without physically going to see an Apple Genius.
PDUB OKC

I have the exact same problem, the cycle is around 15 seconds.
The phone goes from standby to the 'slide to unlock' screen and then goes back to standby all on its own, and it does this continuously until it bleeds the battery dry - it's killing me as it keeps catching my eye when the phone's on my desk.
The following scenarios stop this happening.
- I switch the phone to silent (I'm using this as a stop gap solution).
- I'm playing music through the phone's speakers.
- I'm playing music through headphones.
- It's charging.
- It's connected to my laptop.
I've tried all the usual stuff, rebooting, restoring, airport mode, no wifi, switching off all notifications, removing all 3rd party apps, turning of all push/email related programs etc...
I'm pretty stumped to think what's causing this, when it started happening I'd done nothing new/different to the phone (no new apps installed, I'd not synced it, knowingly dropped it, had a issue plugging in the charger or headphones).
I'm at the point where I think I'm going to need to go to the O2 shop (one of my least favourite things to do) and experience customer service...there must be some clever dick out there that knows how to resolve this....?????
TIS (hopefully)
P.s. I've posted this in another thread on the same subject, just trying to increase my chances of it being seen.
