My iphone won't stay on, even with the battery at 100%.

My iphone 3gs keeps dying.  It won't synch or be recognised by the computer.  I spent the whole day yesterday trying and eventually it did restore and stayed on for a few hours but has died again, despite the battery being at 98%.  I tried holding down the buttons but that does nothing.  I got a new one 18 months ago after my first one broke down, so think my Applecare is done.  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. TY

Take it to an Apple store or AASP.

  • Iphone 4 keeps turning off even though its battery shows 100%

    My iphone keeps turning off although the battery is 100%. I cant turn it on because it shows that my iphone does not have any battery left. When i plug it in the computer/charge it, it turns on and shows 100%. It has never happened to me before and it just randomly had this problem today. Please help.

    This is most likely faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

    Is it possible to close the top of the laptop, but still stay connected to the internet? If so, how?
    Thank you!

  • Is my MBP broken forever? It won't charge or power on even with the battery unplugged

    Hello,
    My 2011 MacBook Pro has completely died.
    Around a month ago I set it down (carefully), it made a clicking noise and would not turn on. The charger light was still green but would not power back up. I unplugged the battery and it was working fine with the charger alone so I presume that the battery was the problem but did not buy a battery as I had no money/apple appointments are apparently like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
    Then I was using it, moved it slightly and it turned off again, would power up but only when the charger was plugged in without pressing the power button AND with the screen closed. It did this a few times and then will no longer charge or turn on. The charger shows no light. I do carry it around quite a lot for my job but it hasn't received any damage in the time it has been broken.
    this also happens after I had cleaned the MacBook down and installed Yosemite.
    Is it a write off or just the battery?

    Try a SMC reset:

  • HT3205 My adapter plug light is orange - won't stay green to charge the battery.  What is the cause?

    My adapter light does not stay green to indicate the macbook is charging.  The light turns from green to orange after about 5 seconds.  Why is my battery not charging?

    1. SMC reset
    >>Instructions to reset SMC
    Problems solved: Fans blowing with no activity, machine is not booting, power button pressed and nothing happens, problems with indicators, Magsafe has wrong lights, battery is not charging, monitor and graphics issues etc.  If the battery is not charged (from like letting it sleep too long), let the Mac charge up awhile afterwards.
    Will not hurt the machine resetting if it's not broken.
    Other related hardware problems (optional):
    Check battery status: Hold option/alt key down while clicking on the battery icon in the menu bar, top right corner.
    Magsafe: Use the correct/matching power supply charger with your Mac, not a less powered one from another Mac.

  • Is it ok to leave your iphone plugged in all day even if the battery is fully charged?

    The icon over the battery changes to a plug after it has been fully charged so to me it seems as though the phone is running off of power from the cable. Am I right in this assumption or am I damaging my battery?

    you cannot overcharge the iPhone battery.  You can leave it plugged in with a full charge for as long as you want.  It will not affect the battery at all.

  • IPod Won't Hold Charge - Even With New Battery

    I apologize in advance if this question has already been asked, but after a search, I could only find questions about similar problems, but not my exact issue.
    I have a 5G 30Gb iPod that I purchased in November of 2005. The battery never has given me any problems, and I would charge it on average 2 or 3 times per week. Then, about one month ago, it suddenly stopped holding a charge. I remember leaving it charging via USB cable one night, then I uploaded my daily Podcasts the next morning, and after unplugging it, it would die within 30 minutes of use. I would have to plug it into the wall to build up enough charge to reboot as it wouldn't ever get enough charge from USB to reboot (it would always say "Very Low Battery" no matter how long it was connected to the USB).
    Fine, since I've had it for nearly two years, I figured the battery probably needed replacing, so I purchased a replacement battery and replaced it myself thinking that would solve the problem. The thing is, the new battery behaves exactly the same way. I can leave it charging all night and the iPod will say "Charged" when I unplug it, and then it will be dead within just a few minutes of use. I'm wondering if it is some sort of firmware issue preventing the battery from charging properly. I have noticed for the short period that it will run off the battery, there is a "plug" icon showing up in the battery indicator so I'm wondering if for some reason the iPod always thinks it's plugged in whether it is or not.
    I have also Restored the iPod to its factory settings to see if that would help, but it still behaves the same way. If I've eliminated the battery as the cause, what else could it be? I'm kind of frustrated because the problem seemed to happen all of the sudden. Anyone else experience an issue like this?

    From your description I would say a part failed in the charge circuit. This would cause behavior in a new battery as you describe. You should consider having a technician look at. There are some good places on the net that will give you a quote before repairs.

  • I am currently running iOS 5 on my iphone 4S, is there any issue with the battery life if I update my phone software to iOS 6?

    I need help on this matter, this is the only thing that is keeping me from installing iOS 6. Also, how can I save my data, apps and other stuff that I already installed on iOS5? Also, if I create another apple ID, will my data, apps etc be lost, do I have to download the stuff again? Help me out!!

  • Nokia 5800 XM won't turn on even with battery char...

    My Nokia 5800 ran out of batteries this morning, so logically I'd charge it. However, it won't turn on, even with the battery charger! I took out the battery and stuck it back in again, but it still won't turn on! The last sign of life was when there was a greyish screen, but I took the battery back out and it won't turn on again. Help! I'm scared I fried my phone somehow and I've only had it for a month!

    nothing is wrong with ur device....don't worried
    when 5800xm battery dead please put it out your memory card from 5800xm.and then charged a phone..........in few second  the phone display white screen and then display a nokia symbol and home screen.....
    okzzzzzzz.................

  • My iphone 4s got water in the headphone port. I put my phone in rice for 24 hours and the LED light is on. It stays on even when the phone is off. How can I fix it with out spending 200 bucks at apple to have them fix it?

    Short answer is you probably cannot.  Once water gets inside the device and it is powered on, the damage likely is permanant. 

  • My iPhone 5 is charging but wont turn on even with the hard reset and restore. Keeps showing low battery. HELP PLEASE

    My iPhone 5 shows it's charging but wont turn on even with the hard reset and restore. Just keeps showing low battery. HELP PLEASE
    I usually sleep with my phone on charge through the night and I haven't had any problem since, I left my iphone 5 charging last night and in the morning it stated 100% charged so I decided to turn the power off normally (Hold the hold button till it says slide to turn power off) I turned it off and suddenly my iphone went straight to low battery. Although I have been having weird battery percentage changes for example it would stay on 1 % for an hour or so or drain really quickly.
    I have restored it as i thought was the thing to do all it's doing it restoring and still stating low battery and I have charged it for hours +. I can't hard reset it nor restore it NEED HELP PLEASE.

  • I used to be able to sync my iphone with itunes, but now when I plug my iphone into my computer it no longer syncs or even shows the device icon.  Could this be because I have an old iphone and it's not compatible with the latest version of itunes?
