N95 Shuts off when answering a call

Please help! Now about 1 in 5 times I answer a call my N95-3 just shuts down ans re-starts. It is continually dropping calls and is now basically unreliable. Any suggestions?

Back up data and do a hard reset. This could help.

Shutting off whenever a phone call comes through.

A couple months ago, I had water damage on my iPhone 4S. It stopped working for about a month, and my IT husband brought home the little screw drivers for the bottom of the phone, and I unscrewed it and saw there was still some water in the phone, after messing with it and letting it sit in rice for 2 days, my phone has been working ever since! The only thing that has been happening is my battery life will say 35% and then all of a sudden I'll get a notification saying that I'm on 10% of battery life (and that's without even using my phone for an hour) and when I would plug it in, it would go back to 35%. I can handle that, but the only thing that bothers me is that my phone will abrubtly shut off when someone is calling me and this JUST started happening yesterday. Should I reset my phone and then restore it back to my settings?

I have reset it at least 4 times already and it will work for maybe a day or two, then just shut off again while a phone call is coming in and today it started shutting off while I use the camera, or when I get a notification through Facebook and in order for this not to happen, I have to have it charging. I don't want to charge my phone all day in order to use it.

14" iBook G4 shuts off when I open it up

I just started having this problem two days ago with my iBook. When I close it everything looks fine, the little light in the front is lit showing that it is still on but when I open up the computer, instead of waking up, it just shuts off and then won't turn on forever. It seems like I have to hit the power button just right for it to come back on. It does not shut off at any other time, only when I open up the computer. Other than this I have no problems. It does not appear to be the battery and it does not shut down at any other time. Why is it shutting off when I try to open it and why will it not turn on again? I hope this question makes sense!

nerone,

I tried to put it to sleep through the Apple menu and it also shuts down then.
OK that last step eliminated the cable, reed/cable and inverter problems.
So that makes it a PMU problem. The PMU is actually a tiny computer within the computer. It's official designation is PMU99.
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/DeveloperNotes/Macintosh_CPUs-G4/12inchPowerBookG4/2_Architecture/chapter_3_section4.html
"Power Control IC
The power manager IC in the 12-inch PowerBook G4 is a Mitsubishi M16C/62F microprocessor, also called the PMU99. It operates with its own RAM and ROM. The functions of the PMU99 include:
*controlling the sleep and power on and off sequences
*real time clock
*controlling power to the other ICs
*monitoring the battery charge level
*controlling battery charging
*supporting the interface to the built-in keyboard
The 12-inch PowerBook G4 can operate from a 15-volt power outlet on an airliner, however for safety reasons the computer will not allow battery charging. In order for the computer to detect the connection to airline power, the airline power cable should have a sense resistor of 24.3K ohms connected between the power plug's shell and ground.
The PMU99 also provides the hardware interface to the keyboard. Software in the PMU99 IC scans the keyboard, then sends the data to the system in packets like those from the ADB. To the system, the keyboard behaves as if they were ADB devices"
Try resetting it:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
If that doesn't work try what I call a deep PMU reset.
Pull all power including the battery, push the power button to remove residual charge in soft start capacitors.
Then walk away from it for at least 10 hours.
Try it again in the morning. Stuff like this has happened and people have left things alone and come back days, weeks and months later and their Macs are fine.

TB NEVER shuts off when running "Gentle Alarm"

I've been running an App called "Gentle Alarm" at night, and every time it is running, my TB has never shutoff. The phone is always sitting there with the app running when i wake up in the morning. I open the app, and select "Night Display" on the right at the top and it dims a little bit, then the clock keeps floating around the screen all night.
So, I'm guessing, that there is something that this app shuts off when it runs and allows it to keep running all night that is causing all of our headaches with the thunderbolt.
I'm hoping there's some kind of scientific explanation for it and that I just haven't been lucky that it hasn't shut off since I've been running this app....
I'm using the paid version that was available as the free app of the day a month back on May 9th....

Forget it. It rebooted a minute ago....

Iphone 3gs turns off when attending any call or replying to any text message

it shuts off when calls are attended or whenever any work is done that is related to sim card. It keeps on shutting when sim is inserted. While if I pull out the sim card, then the phone works fine. It never turns off if sim is not inserted or if it is on Airplane mode.
I had changed the sims that i'm inserting but of no use.

These features are most common due to faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

My iBook just shuts off when it is still partially charged. Help?

Hello, I have an 14" iBook G4, and have been having problems lately with the computer shutting off (going dead, and not into sleep mode) after it has been running on battery power for awhile. It usually shuts off when the battery is at around 45-60 percent charge still left. It never shuts off when plugged in to the charger. Here are some specifics on the battery from the System Profiler:
Battery Information:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 1545
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 1542
Amperage (mA): 0
Voltage (mV): 16543
Cycle Count: 225
I have been thinking about getting a new battery but I just replaced this one a year or two ago so I don't think it should be bad yet.
A few things that I think might be causing the problem might be that I upgraded this computer a while ago by putting in a 100 GB hard drive and putting in a Superdrive (it originally had a 40 GB HD and a Combo Drive). I also have an extra 512 MB of RAM installed. I also just recently upgraded to Mac OS 10.4.11. I had been running 10.4.6 for the longest time (mostly because I always though it was safer because sometimes when I had updated computers in the past they'd run into problems. Plus, I have software that I knew would run with OS 10.4.6 - plus the install discs).
Anyway, let me know what you guys think I should or could do to fix this problem. I'm on my computer all the time so I should respond quickly to your guys' (or girls') advice.
Thanks for any help you can give. Later

I looked into resetting the PMU (although I think I already tried that a week ago), I don't know if something specific is supposed to happen to let me know something was reset but everything functioned pretty much as normal.
I tried recalibrating the battery with minimal success, it went down to 31% then actually said 0% and died. I tried recalibrating twice and it doesn't go into sleep mode, it just dies. It'll go down to 0% and still not go into sleep mode. Now my battery reading says this(with the power cord unplugged):
Battery Information:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 1315
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 1313
Amperage (mA): -778
Voltage (mV): 16178
Cycle Count: 225
I took continual readings of the Battery in the System Profiler and pasted them into a Word document when the computer was at 0% capacity and was still on but wouldn't go into sleep mode (it eventually just died). I can post some of those on here if you want.
I also tried that Coconut Battery program to let me know any new information about the Battery and it says nothing really new. It says the battery has a max capacity of 1315 mAh (although just couple of days ago it used to have around 1500mAh - read my first post above - I don't know if that means I've made progress or the battery is worse off then when I started) and also the Battery originally had 4400 mAh capacity (so now it's at about 29% of its original strength).
One thing did disturb me though is that the battery might not be recording the number of cycles correctly. Even though I've gone through at least a few charges in the last couple of days, it still says "225" and it should be higher. You'll even notice that it said "224" in the Battery Information in my first post. I've gone through at least a couple of complete discharges, I would think.
Anyway, I hope there are some more options on the table, but I'll see if I can keep re-calibrating it and it will finally work. I am starting to wonder if its the battery or the module inside it or some other problem. Anyway, thanks for the help.

My iMac (2007) keeps shutting off when in Full Screen mode (DVD, iTunes Visualizer, etc.) This only happens when I have an external monitor hooked up HDMI.

Try using another connection such as VGA or DVI to see if the problem repeats itself.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup, then as new). Has any of this been tried?

My iPOD classic (last generation) shuts off when jostled--like what happens when the headphones come out. Any fix for this?

My iPOD class (last generation) shuts off when jostled--like what
happens when the headphones come out. Is there any fix for this?

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

Re-occuring shut off when scrolling even after firmware upgr

Hello all,
I have a Muvo Tx FM and have had it since May. In June, it started shutting off when I used to scroll bar. I came to the forum and the suggestion was to reinstall the firmware. So I dl'ed it from this site and reinstalled it. The player worked fine and I was estatic.
Fast-forward to August and its doing it again.
Does anyone know why this happens?
Is there a more permanent solution to the issue?
How long is the warranty on these players (typically)?
I will try to upgrade the Firmware, but somehow I doubt this is going to help.
-Thanks,
TG.

Some people have linked it with happening when removing the player from the PC, without ensuring it's "safely removed".
Failing that, can you pinpoint any event that causes it to happen?
Warranty varies depending where you bought it. It's 3 months in the USA (I'm not sure if the MuVo is covered with a further 9 months parts only warranty, I know some of the Zen players are). In Europe the warranty is at least year.

Phone keeps shutting off in middle of call

I phone 4s keeps shutting off in middle of call, sometimes it won't even let me click on name to call #

It sounds like it could be a couple of things causing the issue, try backing up your iPhone via iTunes and restoring the software to eliminate any possible software issues. Don't put you backed up information back on to the phone untill youve had a chance to test it for a few days. If its working properly restore your information, if not book it in for repair.
For more information on repair options use http://www.apple.com/support/service/ and select your product and country.

Why iMac shuts off when in sleep mode? Using latest System (Yosemite)

Can anyone tell me why my iMac 27", running on the latest system (Yosemite), all of a sudden started shutting off when put in the sleep mode?

Try resetting the SMC.
Additionally, look at the log files around the time the system shut down.
You might also take it in for testing/diagnosis.

Iphone shuts down when making a call

Please help my iphone shuts down when making a call restored and set to new phone but still shuts down after 2 to 3 mins HELP

I'm having exactly the same issue with my iphone, and same specs. It's a new work phone so discussed with IT manager. She advised returning it so it could be sent back for repair. Would be interested if you have heard of any other fixes as not keen to be without the phone, although that needs to weighed against the fact it randomly shuts down when a call comes in!

My ipod keeps shutting off when go to the music menu

I have had my black 4 gb nano for a while and today it started shutting off when i push the center button when going into the music button kind of like it is going to sleep because when i turn it back on the apple logo shows up does anyone know how to fix this i already tried resetting it and does anyone know where to buy the invisible shield? thanks.

I had the same problem (now I have a different problem). This happens when you delete podcasts from the nano but do not delete the podcast directory from the ipod itself.
In iTunes, click on your iPod on the menu on the left. Then click on "podcasts" -- below your ipod. Then look for any podcast directories without actual podcasts below the directory. Delete the directory(ies) and you should be okay.
