Phone Randomly Vibrating and Turning Off

Please help me figure out my phone, I love my phone but it has been giving some annoying problems.
1) It has been vibrating on its own non-stop... it has happened a few times, where it just randomly vibrates for a long time, and it doesn't turn off until I hold down on the on/off button, once it turns off, then I would have to turn my phone back on. Please let me know what I can do to make it stop.
2) It would randomly turn off on its own and start back on. It isn't convenient when I am trying to text or am surfing the net. Please also let me know what I can do to prevent this from happening again.
3) Sometimes my phone will say "scanning media files" and then when it is done, some of the icons wouldn't have their pictures anymore, it would have a picture of a SD card with the android guy. Please let me know what is going.
Thank you in advance for your time and help!

Yeebee29, thank you for your inquiry and welcome to the community!
1. I have not seen this vibrating issue reported for this phone before. Do you have any different icons on the screen when this happens. Next time it happens, go to your Running programs (Settings, Applications, Running Services) to verify which applications are running in the background. If this started after installing any new applications, try uninstalling those & reading reviews to see if anyone may be having these issues.
2. This can also be caused by a number of things. How often is this happening? Did this start after installing any new applications? Does the phone seem to get hot before it powers off? If the phone is rebooting often, try booting into safe mode for awhile to see if it is still occurring. Safe mode disables third party applications from running, but you are able to use all aspects of the phone while in safe mode. This will help determine if an application may be causing this.
3. Try removing and re-inserting your SD card. You can also go to Settings>SD & Phone Storage to Unmount then mount again.
If you are still having these issues after completing the above troubleshooting steps, the last step I recommend is a factory reset.

How can I stop my iPhone 4 from freezing and turning off by itself?

3 days ago, my phone started freezing very often. I would hold the sleep and home button for 6 seconds to restart it. After a while, it started turning off and on by itself. Just last night it had this lit up black screen. It was totally upresponsive and my iPhone did not show up in iTunes. I let the batter run out and than I charged it. It was fine for a couple of hours and than it started turning of and on by itself. It worsened to the point where right away when my iPhone 4 turned on, it turned off. Now it has a blue screen. Pressing the home and sleep button doesn't hel. It doesn't show up in iTunes either. Should I wait for it to run out of battery like last time? What can I do in the future to prevent my phone from freezing and turning off. Will upgrading it to the newest operating system help? This phone is nearly a year and a half old. Please help.

Might be a better idea to try ALL of the Basic Troubleshooting steps as already mentioned to attempt to resolve the issue.

My iphone 4s' screen is black, but it's still on and charging. I broke my lock screen button so I am unable to turn it off using the home button and lock button. Is there any other way my phone can restart or turn off ? Is my phone broken for sure?

Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged. Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
Have you done so? If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer. Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one.

My iphone 4s was updating to like 7.1 or 7.2 and i tried to updating by the iphone but it froze and turned off. and when i tried turning it back on the phone kept going to a screen that said plug it in to your computer i did but it froze at the scree

Try plugging it up to your computer and launching iTunes and either resetting it to factory settings or resetting to last sync. Hopefully it just noticing it's plugged up to iTunes will fix it. This happened to my friend once and all she had to do was plug it into her computer and that fixed it.

HT4859 I have back-up in I-Cloud on 2 phones that I no longer have, but when I try to delete those 2 it says do you want to delete and turn off back-up, does that mean just on that phone or my new phone also? Thanks

I have I-Cloud back up on 2 phones that I no longer have, when I go to delete its says do you want to delete and turn off back. Does that mean turn off back up on the phone I use now or just that phone that I no longer use? Thanks for any advice, Buckspc

Not a big issue : Just delete the old backups and if the backup option turns off o your current device, then just turn it on again.

I had the same issue and i just resolved it, I have an iphone 4s and last night was al perfect and this morning i just verified that i had a new updated installed on my phone and my WiFi was disable and did restore as new like crazy until i did this after me being tired of restoring my phone from factory setting and then my lately back up on icloud i did my last move and it got fixed this is what i did ok.
STep #1 Do a back up manualy onto your cmputer throu itunes (NOT ICLOUD) ok
Step #2 after doing the the back up go and do on you phone or throu itunes do the factory reset setting and erase everything and make like new phone
Step #3 Leave yhe iphone conected to Itunes.
Step #4 Once your iphone is reset to factory setting on your Itunes Window will say NO SIM CARD DETECTED before clicking on your right up corner (DONE) slide your phone and it will appear conect to a network do the process and put the pasword of your WiFi and until it says conected,It will say (No Service) but it will be conected to WiFi then click on the Itunes Window (DONE)
Step #5 DO a back up recovery from the last back up you did onto your computer not Icloud ok!!
Step #6 after you recovered your phone from last back up on your computer it will atumaticaly have service and WiFi conection like before..
I hope i did explained well to you i did work for me after 7 hours of doing reset and back up =)

My iphone 5 will freeze up and turn off and back on. It will go to the apple screen and then go black MULTIPLE times before it comes back on. No buttons work while this happens. My phone is a week old.

User troubleshooting is restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If you perform these steps and it still doesn't work, then make an appointment at the Apple Genius bar and have the hardware checked.

You may need to try this More than Once...
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

If you forward your calls to another phone and turn off yours, can the phone be tracked?

I have an iphone 5 and I want it not to be tracked but still get my calls. If I cal forward my calls to another iphone and turn off the one I dont want tracked, will it render it untrackable?

If you are seeing your device on iCloud's Find my IPhone section (even if it says offline), then it is tied to your iCloud Account, meaning you had that "Find My iPad" turned on in the iPad's Settings > iCloud.
If someone has it, they probably turned it off to prevent you from tracking it, but yes, you can use lost mode to lock up the iPad and put a message and phone number to call if found. If or when the device is turned back on, this message will be displayed on the iPad. iCloud: Use Lost Mode
Choosing the play sound option will put it in the system to play the sound when it is turned on again.

My iphone4s keeps freezing and turning off

I received an Iphone4s for christmas & it was perfect. Then however after about after 4 months the wifi stopped working, so I had to send the phone back to Apple and pay €40 for a new phone (even though My phone at the time was insured). Now this new phone, after 4 months of having it keeps freezing (maybe 7-8 times a day) and turning off & its infuruating because I cant really do anything with it. After a week of having the phone i tried to take a picture with the camera turned to face me and the phone just froze and i couldnt use the camera, it happens everytime i try to do it. I didnt mind too much because i could do without that but this is really annoying now because the phone is new and i take great care of it!
I have reset the phone, restored it etc and dont know what else to do

I am having the same issue. ** MY IPHONE IS TURNING OFF RANDOMLY ** and it's driving me crazy.
THE SYMPTOM... I am using my phone fine and then when I go to send a text, take a photo, etc, it just turns off.
This started a few weeks ago after upgrading to the new IOS. The 'symptoms' increased in frequency and my phone started turning off more frequently.   I took my Iphone to the apple store. They reset the phone to factory standards and the problem still exists.
THE PROBLEM: The guy at the Genius Bar said he knows there is a known software issue, and this looks like it's affected my processor. BUT this was only after I told him that I have been reading about a lot of other people having the same problem.
THE SOLUTION: Are you having the same issue ... Reply to this post and let me know.   If a lot of people are having the same problem, Apple will probably just swap out the phones.

After the firmware upgrade last week, the local WIFI networks pop up when I turn on my phone, I have WIFI turned off, how do I turn off the pop up?

What OS X version are you using?
Can you take a screenshot of the pop-up notification?
To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
If you want to attach a screenshot to a response here, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the window the cursor is on.
⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.

I have been trying to download the movie Prometheus onto my Ipad. It sticks at 793mb and hasn't moved for hours. I have 48gb of space on my i-pad and have hard resetted and turned off and switched back on, always reconnecting with wi-fi immediately. It doesn't resume?
I haven't even received an email stating I have been charged for it???
Any ideas??

Well I have an update. I decided to stay as I was so far down the road. They gave me an engineer appointment of 14 of August which was totally disgusting.
I rang up to complain and was promised a call back as they tried to expediate my request. Never happened.
Whilst on these calls I also questioned the validity of sending another engineer unless they first checked that my local cabinet hard an available fibre port. I was promised and promised that they would put the notes on the call and it would not be a wasted engineer visit.
Engineer came today. Wasted visit - no ports on the cabinet.
He was not even sure why he was sent there knowing there were no ports. Talk about the blind leading the blind.
The incompetency of this corporation is absolutely astounding even when their customers are telling them they are going to fail they lie to your face just to appease you on the phone and move you on.
So I ordered my switch from sky to BT on June 6th.. and so far all I have is a phone line.
On top of this I noticed that they have charged me a late payment fee by DD and full line rental for first month. BT were so slow at installing it all that my up front line rental apparently did not cover their initialy switch over. Despite telling me I would not be charged I have been charged.
Now as a web designer I am now tempted to create basic website and use my SEO skills to push it to top of google rankings sharing with everyone of my experience of BT.
