Phone shut off when I plugged in charger

I was listennig to music and reading a book on my phone and happened to plug in a charger. Now I understand that it is unwise to that but its a fairly new charger. Only a couple of months old and when I plugged in the charger my phone shut completely off and I've taken out the batter and sim card and micro and left it alone for about a minute or so and plugged everything in and the original charger to the phone and now it wont turn on and it's been about 20 minutes.

Chany0690, it sounds like you've done quite a bit to get your phone to work again and I want to help as well! When you said you plugged in a charger, was this the charger that came with the phone? If not, where did you get this charger? Was there a shock or anything when you plugged in the phone? Sometimes removing the battery a second time and holding the power button for about 10 seconds will work as well.
Another thing to try is to take battery out, plug phone to USB port on a computer (without battery), computer should beep once phone is recognized, now insert battery and try to power phone on.
Let me know if you need further assistance after this.

my ipod keeps shutting off when I plug it in to my computer to sync with itunes. how do I fix this?

With the iPod still connected, try resetting it by pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Phone shutting off when not using and does not start back up by itself

I bought the LG Revolution phone 2 1/2 weeks ago and since then twice when I have not been using it, it shuts off by itself and does not power back up until I realize it is off and then I hold down the power key to restart it. It also turns off in the middle of using an app but then restarts itself. Is this a known glitch or is something wrong with this particular phone? Since I am after the 2 week mark, can I exchange it? Or am I out $200 for an issue that isn't my fault?

tiggerpolo81, I know your phone shutting off and on is very frustrating. I will attempt to assist you with some suggestions to resolve this issue. I researched this issue and found that some customers have reported this as an issue and we have also reported it to our device team. We will attempt to address the issue with any future updates for this phone. In the mean time, I recommend checking to see if a third party app is causing the issue.
Safe Mode temporarily disables all applications that have been installed via the Android Market. Performing this step is necessary to determine whether a 3rd party application is the cause of an Operating System / Application issue.
Enable Safe Mode
With the device powered down, press and hold the power button (upper-right corner).
When the LG Logo screen appears, press and hold the volume down key.
Release the volume down key when Safe mode is displayed at the lower-left.
This may take up to 30 seconds.
Disable Safe Mode
Press and hold the Power button (upper-right corner).
Select Restart.
Additionally , if the issue continues we can review your account and device for warranty replacement options. If the phone is within its one-year manufacturers warranty and have no physical or water damage, it can be replaced with the same model.

MBP shuts off when not plugged in (yet battery is fully charged)

This is the 3rd time I've suffered from this problem.
The problem lasts for about two days then seems to go away for a week or so.
When I leave the MBP charging for a few hours, then disconnect the power, it almost immediately shuts off (no warning, no error, no sleeping).
While disconnected, if I try and turn it on, I hear the boot sound, but then it shuts off again - the monitor never turns on.
If I connect it back to the power it turns on and boots fine.
My parents also have a brand new MBP, and I can avoid the problem by swapping batteries.
I therefore think my battery is faulty.
What else can I do to test the battery functions?
Thanks,
-Vijay

This started happening to me a few wks ago. My MB Pro would just go blank and shut down for no reason, while using it unhooked from the power cord. I could restart it, but it would shut down within a few minutes. The battery showed 60 to 70 %. Looking up on this discussion, I found numerous others who have had this problem. I called Apple support, but could not get to a person, they work only 6AM to 6PM in the US. So, today, I took it in to the Genius Bar, here in San Jose, CA. His first reaction was, Oh, you do not have Applecare. I told him about the battery problem reports on this discussion. He feigned ignorance of the problem. Next minute, he turned to me and said he will replace the battery free of charge! My MB Pro is 17 months old, and I do not have Applecare. So, all you people with this 'sudden death syndrome' please go into the store, or call Apple and claim what is due.

After I updated to IOS8 my iPod 5 charger stopped working, it randomly shuts off when I have the charger plugged in and also when the charger is plugged in, it doesn't charge. The same charger worked on my iPod when I had iOS7. Please help!

ipod 5 charger isn't working after updating to ios8

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try another cable. iOS 8 seem to make the iPod more sensitive to marginal cables.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How do I keep my computer from shutting off when I plug in my iphone

What do I need to do to keep my computer from shutting down each time I plug in my iphone?

Hello goldeeneyes!
I'd love to tell you how to adjust your screen settings. Keep in mind that a longer screen timeout may drain your battery significantly, so you may wish to change it back when you are not using your knitting application.
Please go to Settings>Display and change the Sleep to a longer period of time. Happy creating!
Thank you,

My MacBook shuts off when I plug my external drive in.

Whenever I plug my external drive into my MacBook Air, it shuts down all of a sudden. It works perfectly normal before. What should I do?

You should also ask this in the MacBook Air forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

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 lock/on of button is broke if my phone dies will it automaticity turn on (in time) when I plug my charger in?

My lock/on off button is broke if my phone dies will it automaticity turn on (in time) when I plug my charger in?

It may or it may not...it would be better to backup to iCloud and take it to an Apple store genius bar for a replacement before finding out you cannot do anything with it. If you get a replacement they can restore the countent from the iCloud backup while you wait.
Since you don't say which model:
iPhone 4 is $149
iPhone 4s is $199
iPhone 5 is $269

how come when i plug my charger into my phone my phone doesnt let me use it but when i unplug my phone im able to use it

Hi Bella__,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone is unresponsive when it is charging, first try restarting or resetting the device:
If your device doesn't respond when you press buttons
Your device might not return to the Home screen when you press the Home button, wake from sleep when you press the Sleep/Wake button, slide to unlock or power off, or it might appear frozen. Try these steps:
Restart your device.
If it still doesn't respond, or if it doesn't turn back on, reset your device.

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
All the best,

My iphone5 will die or just turn off, when I plug in the charger the screen just keeps turning

My iphone5 will die or just turn off, when I plug in the charger the screen just keeps turning off and on. It will do this for hours until it finally stays on and charges. I've gotten a new charger, but it didn't work. Help

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 LCIs and 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.

from the information you provided i can't tell if it is a hardware problem or a software problem. I do have an idea though, try to press your home button and lock button at the same time.
