"Previously, when the service is lost, the phone beeps and says call failed."
Clever phone!!! What accent/voice/gender does it have when it reports the failed call? What you're reporting here sounds more like the network reporting to your phone that the caller has lost connection to the network, not that you have!
When the iPhone loses network connection (as opposed to the sender/network simply dropping the call) then you may be lucky enough to hear a click but otherwise you'll just get silence!

Iphone shuts off during sync! Whyt?

I have an issue with Itunes and syncing. I have the latest version of Itunes, however this problem existed even the previous version of Itunes. Anyway, the issue is whenever I try to sync, during the sync the iphone autumatically shuts off and restarts on its own. I am not running 2.0 on the iphone yet. I tried to install which automatically backs up but even then I get an error because the phone shuts off. Is anyone else having these problems? I have reinstalled Itunes and have pulled other USB devices off. I even switched the ports for the USB for the phone. Does anyone have any ideas? I been trying to figure this one out for a while. I know the first issue is the PC part. Just saving up to buy a new Mac. This is my work computer....URGGGHHH!

I have personally witnessed this with a coworker. During the restore process after the upgrade her screen would go completely blank and then after a while she would see an error message on her XP machine saying that the iphone cannot be restored error 1603 (or 1604).
When I plugged her phone into my MacBook and did a restore everything was different. Rather than get a blank screen we saw the apple logo and the circle down at the bottom indicating that it was doing something. We were able to completely restore her phone from my MacBook when she had not been able to restore her phone for 2 days on her XP. There seems to be some incompatibility between something running in Windows, for example in our office PC's we run Norton antivirus, that causes a problem with the device. It must somehow sense that whatever it is trying to do is a threat and is blocking its ability to communicate with iTunes.

Phone shuts off after I hang up the phone

For the past week and a half whenever I use my phone to call someone or answer after I get off the phone and press end call my phone shuts off. Completely goes blank for about a minute or two. I can not turn it on, press my home button or anything during this time. Then in about 2 minutes my phone turns back on by itself. I am unsure of what this problem is?

Standard troubleshooting steps in order are; power the iPhone off an on, Reset, Restore, and if no change after any or all of these steps, call AppleCare (800) 694-7466 or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

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 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.

Good day my question is , does anyone of you experiencing when making a call with facetime the phone shuts off and restart

See this veeeeeeeeeery long thread.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3404857
It's an issue with hundreds of phones. Some claim it's software related, some hardware, some say it's a mixture of both.
Some people have had temporary success with quitting the Phone.app / restoring as a new phone / restoring from an iCloud backup / disabling Siri / toggling speakerphone on & off...
Unfortunately all of the above only been temporary, with the problem recurring again after a few calls, or a few days etc.
So far the only solution that seems permanent has been to replace the phone. But even so, it's the luck of the draw to recieve a functional phone, and not another faulty one.
I'm completely annoyed as there is no Apple Store near me...... and Apple haven't even acknowledged the issue, despite the above thread being 34 pages long, as of writing.

N80 Shut off during 5.0 update. Won't turn On at a...

please can anyone help me on this?
i did have the memory backed up on my computer before i did it, so if i need to take it in for a wipe/reinstall thats fine,
but does anyone have any info that can help me?
I was in Nokia PC Suite updating my phones software to 5.0 next thing i know the computer says "USB device disconnected" my phone shuts off, and it wont turn back on.
ive tried taking the battery out and replacing it.
Any help is much appreciated.

Remove SIM and miniSD card first. Try to boot.
The try hooking it up to the PC again. And see if you might be able to redo the update process.
You can also try a hard reset. As described in a different tread. (Or read below).
Othervise, I afraid you will have to take it to a Service Center.
-- Quote from djassa1 (Re: N80 won't start up!)--
Just reset to factory default.
You will need your 2 hands to do that: While the phone is off press and hold the [Green call Button] + [3 digit button] + [* button] and power on and hold the powwer button. Do that until the phone asks you for the local city reference.

Best of luck!

You will have to restore the phone using your computer. You may need to use Recovery Mode if it doesn't appear in iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212

I recently got my iPhone 5 unlocked and the other day I updated my phone to ios 7. After doing so my phone shut off and turned on and it said I had no service. I guess it completely wiped out my unlock. I was wondering if anyone knows what I can do!

How, EXACTLY, did you get it "unlocked"? ONLY the carrier it's locked to can authorize unlocking it. Anything else is a hack.
You can not get help here for a hacked phone.

Are you restoring as new?

Battery shows over half charge then shuts off during use.

iPhone 5 w ios7 shows over half charge in battery but shuts off during use listening to pod cast for example. When placed on the charger it takes a couple of minutes then shows over half charged again. What's wrong?

Hi
If you have tried restoring and all the possible fixes you are still well within your warranty period book a genius appointment and they will offer you a repair or replacement.
Hope this helps

my phone shut off and won't turn back on

Connect iPhone to Wall Charger for about 10 minutes. If may turn ON itself. If still OFF, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, this can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger.
