Phone shut down after reading text

yesterday - my phone shut down, after getting a text message.
it re-booted itself back up, however, i lost all my text messages -
i had messages from about 20 people totalling 150 messages.
has this ever happened to anyone? Went to Verizon today -
they have no idea...

curlym,
Sounds like we might have stepped into the cell phone twilight zone. So, let's get you back to reality. To be honest, this is odd for messages to be erased after your phone simply shutting down. Which model device is it? Do you use a third party messaging app? And is it acting normally since this happened? Please share.

You may have to restore your phone to correct the problem.

I downloaded an update in settings this morning on my iPhone5. When phone came back on, the screen showed a line coming up from the bottom of the screen to a locked padlock, then an up arrow above the padlock, then an Itunes icon above the arrow. I tried swiping, tapping, everything, and nothing would happen. Then the phone shut down. What do I do?

Battery life issue, phone shuts down

HI I have an iphone 4S running 6.1.1 and with 10.6GB avail space running 3G on the Fido network. Had the phone for less than a year and it was sent to me as a refurbished
My phone shuts down before it gets to 0%. Sometimes it lets me get to 0% and does a normal shut down, but in some cases it will suddenly just shut down and claim it has no battery life left, then when plug in loads up right away, exactly with all the same apps open and with a good chuck of battery.
Today for example
- Was at 70% when went out on a bike ride
- 2 hours later and after some tethering and listening to music it shuts down all of a sudden while looking at a tweet
- Try to turn back on, says its out of battery
- Get home and plug in, starts up at 17% right back at the same tweet

I have the same issue with the same 4S. I thought it was a bug with the camera because it would happen while I was in the middle of taking a picture. The phone would shut down and after attempting to restart it prompted no battery life. But once I plugged the phone in it would start up and show the proper battery % left on the phone.
Another forum on here stated a probelm is with the cold weather which was cauing the battery to lower in tempature, falsly causing a depleted percentage which forced a shutdown. They said all they had to do was let the phone warm up and it would reboot back up just fine.
I thought it odd but most of my issues were when I was outside. That is until just last night when I was in my kitchen taking a picture of something on the counter and it again shut down. I had to plug in the charger, boot it back up and once back up I went right back to the kitchen and tried again and it happened again. So I plugged it in again rebooted and then unplugged the phone and let it sit about 10 minutes on the counter and then tried again and it worked. I am not sure the cold had anytyhing to do with it this time because I had been home a couple of hours already and my home is 70 degrees. It is frustraing. I find myself caring a backup battery to plug in the phone if and when this happens when I am away. Not a good solution.

Are you getting any sort of blue screen before the PC reboots? If so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x\[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
If the blue screen mentions a specific file (for example, “ati3duag.dll”), let us know what that is called too. (Exact spelling, please.)
Here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
If you're not seeing a blue screen (or if you’re just seeing a flash of a blue screen before the PC reboots), we can use the following technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.
With those settings in place, does a blue screen appear before the PC reboots?

Published Captivate .swf shuts down after split second

Windows Vista 64 bit
Captivate 5
Does not matter whether I publish to Flash Player 10 or 9
No text animations
When I publish a particular file to .swf and try to open, the movie shuts down after a split second.
I have 40 other published .swf files that were created the same way.
Even tried copying the slides into a working Captivate and republish and still have the same problem.
Currently I have a deadline and this is now in crisis mode.
Please help!
Thanks,
Chuck

Update to previous post....
Reinstalled Captivate 5.
Applied the latest Captivate patch.
Totally solved the problem.
I want to thank Captiv8r who was more than willing to assist.

Phone shuts down during phone calls

Using a 3G phone, my husband's phone shuts down during a phone call. It doesn't seem to matter where he is or the other person's carrier. The phone comes back on after hitting the Home button a few times. Today it happened right in the middle of a short cal so length of call has no bearing.
Any ideas?

It is possible. If a case does only partially cover a sensor, then sometimes it may not cover, or it may, especially if it slides around a little bit.
But with that said, there have been a lot of reports about 3G and dropping signal. Read just about any tech blog and you will see many posts about it, though no confirmation about a single cause (a lot of finger pointing).
I'd say try without a case for a bit to see if it continues. If not, then you know that was it. If still issues, then could be related to the issues being reported about 3G.
They are working on yet another update to try to help, but in meantime if still continues, there is a setting to turn off 3G and just use Edge. For phone calls difference between Edge and 3G really doesn't matter. Only when doing something online with the browser or an App that goes online, etc does 3G really help with speeds. So can also try turning off 3G and only turning it on when you need to go online with the phone. See if that helps with calls until update comes out.

Phone shuts down prematurely

Sometimes when the indicated charge is below 20% or so, the phone shuts down on its own as if it has no charge.
I know it in fact has a charge because I would connect it to a charger and immediately after rebooting, it would show an abnormally high charge -- approximately what the charge was when it shut down. So it's not like I charged it back up to that charge.
I have run the phone down to legitimately dead a number of times since this started, and it started with iOS 7.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Why is my iphone coming on only connected to a PC and then shutting down after 1 minute???????

Seriously need help. My phone is going crazy right after ios is installed. It turns on only with a PC and then shuts down after 1 minute? Never thought Id have problems with Apple.

I have had the same problem with my daughter's IPOD nano. Spoke with several technicians to try to fix the problem to be told it was a battery problem and to send it in it was covered under warranty. Was told that it was a problem with many of the nanos. I sent it in to have it returned with 1 week stating that it had "liquid spill or submersion damage indicated by the pink/red color of liquid submersion indicator located inside headphone jack." It has not had liquid or submersion damage and I can't prove otherwise. It works only if it is attached to computer. Will not turn on unless attached to computer. Maybe I am wrong but it it has damaged by water would it still work plugged into computer. Now I am out $200.00. This frustrates my because my ipod shuffle quit working 2 months after I got it. Thats why I bought the nano thinking it was better quality.

HT4623 My iPhone 4S keeps shutting down after I upgraded to iOS7

My iPhone 4S keeps shutting down after I upgraded to iOS7

This has happend twice to me in the past 12 hours since I just updated to iOS 7.0.2, but did not happen after I updated to iOS 7
Last night the operating system crashed to the Apple symbol (a reset) when browsing the settings menu.
Perhaps it's a bug with the movement tracking? Seems to be connected with sudden movements (I noticed it shut off when I quickly lifted the phone up to look at the screen) - perhaps the background parallax is glitching the system to a software reset? If my problem persists I may temproarily disable the parallax to see if that mitigates the resets.
To be clear, the update to iOS 7 didn't precipitate this problem, and I updated to iOS & on the day of its release (9/18).
This used to happen to me sporadically on my iphone 4s on iOS6, usually when my battery was anywhere at 40% to 5% - though I suspect that was because I was due to re-set the battery by completely draining it.
Is anyone else having this issue with their iPhone 4S?
I'm using a Verizon iPhone 4s 64 GB, still in excellent condition.

Phone shutting down with 75% battery life left.

Hello,
I've had my iPhone 3GS for 1 month and it's developed a problem.
The phone shuts down, and won't let me restart it.
Holding down the power button and home button doesn't revive it, not matter how long I hold it on.
If I plug it into charge, I get the battery symbol with a small red bar on the left, and the lightning symbol at the bottom. The phone still won't allow me to fire it up.
After a short while (1 minute or so) the phone lets me fire it up as per normal. As soon as it's up and running, it's telling me I have greater than 70% battery life left!
I've reset the phone preferences, deleted a load of unwanted apps (I was nowhere near full on memory capacity though) and restarted the phone by holding hte power and home buttons until the apple appears. This hasn't solved the problem.
I'm going to try and run it totally flat (whatever that seems to mean) and give it a full charge a few times.
Has anyone else come across this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Pip

Hi,
Exactly the same problem here. I left it to charge for hours, but the red, low battery bar would not dissapear. When I unplugged it, the phone turned off after a few seconds. I managed to turn it back on a few times, and it showed battery charges of approx. 80%. But after a few minutes, it shut down automatically and showed the low batt symbol again . I returned it to the store. No news yet.

Just updated my 4S to iOS 6 - it shut down after the instait showed a "connect to iTunes" icon.

Just updated my 3GS to iOS 6 - it shut down after the install - then it showed a "connect to iTunes" icon.
iTunes said the phone was in recovery mode & needed to be restored. Clicked "restore" in iTunes & get "iTunes is restoring the software on this iPhone" - didnt work - came back to showing the "connect to iTunes" icon.
Have repeated the process twice now - same result - "connect to iTunes" icon displayed on the phone & iTunes says the phone is still in recovery mode
