Phone turning it's self on and off, not receiving calls

Except for not holding a charge,third battery in 1 year, my phone has been great, until today. I received a call from my husband then my phone disconnected us. Now it is turning its self on and off, but I can do nothing to it. Not receiving calls, can't call out. cant even get on my email. Anyone else having this problem?

3 batteries in 1 year? That is extremely odd...especially considering that usually Apple will replace your device under warranty if there is a battery issue versus replacing the battery (at least that has always been how anyone I have known with a battery issue has been taken care of). Only thing I can suggest to you is to contact Apple (if you are still under warranty...and if your batteries were replaced by them I would assume they had a certain time frame for which they were covered). If you can not contact Apple then you can try contacting VZW. If your battery replacements were through some other method then...I guess contact them. Is this the same behavior you have had in the past with battery issues? Try the usual also...Reset/Restore....let it sit on a charger for awhile since you state it won't hold a charge.

    Hello Bricky2013,
    The following article has some useful tips that can help stabilize your iPhone.
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    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 LCIsand 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.

  • I got Iphone 3 gs and updated ios 5.01 when charging my phone it keeps switching itself on and off

    I got Iphone 3 gs and updated ios 5.01 when charging my phone it keeps switching itself on and off.

    Same problem.  Phone was unusable.  I managed to turn airplane mode on during one of the phone's "on" moments.  It went off once more but then came back on and stayed on long enough to back up and restore via iTunes.  As I don't rely on the phone to retain photos, contacts or mail etc I chose to do a complete restore and treat it as a new phone.  I did this just to make it as clean a restore as possible but you may be able to restore from your backup and get the same fix? All is good still some 24 hours later.  Hope this helps.

  • I tried to restore my 120 gb iPod and got an error 1413 message - "cannot restore iPod". I started to reset turning the hold switch on and off and now my iPod seems to be permanently locked.

    I tried to restore my 120 gb iPod and got an error 1413 message - "cannot restore iPod". I started to reset turning the hold switch on and off and now my iPod seems to be permanently locked. I had been having trouble syncing music, When I tried to sync, iTunes said it didn't recognize my iPod, even though I was on the iPod page in iTunes which showed the model number and the serial number of my iPod

    I am having essentialy the same problem, but my iPod came from a PC and is now on a PC. The person who gave me the iPod didn't give me the wall adapter piece, so I bought a "Griffin" brand that was said to be compatible with this model. When I first plugged it into the wall, the Apple appeared with a bar underneath as though it was loading the new software. When the bar got to the end, the "plug into the wall" icon reappeared, but when I plug it in to the wall now, that icon is the only thing that shows, even after resetting and trying to run diagnostics.
    When I doc the iPod on a charger I have or plug the USB into my computer and "reset" it, a battery with a charge icon appears, but there is no "motion" in the icon so it doesn't appear to be charging. The screen eventually goes back to the apple then to the "plug it into the wall" icon. HELP!!! Is is possible the wall adapters isn't the right one? Should I be charging through a firewire cable instead (which I also don't have...)?

  • HT1212 my iphone 5's screen blacks out every now and then. the phone is turned on but the screen is black and i can receive calls. what is wrong with my phone

    my iphone 5's screen blacks out every now and then. the phone is turned on but the screen is black and i can receive calls. what is wrong with my phone?

    I have to believe this has something to do with iOS 7 issues. I have taken my screen blacked out 5s twice to the Genius Bar and the found a bunch of system apps had crashed.  So if this is the case, is iOS7 the problem?

  • My iPhone 4 has just shut down.  Rang the phone then vibrated for 2 minutes bank screen, will not turn on, also tried charging and will not charge.  Any suggestions

    my iPhone 4 has just shut down.  Rang the phone then vibrated for 2 minutes bank screen, will not turn on, also tried charging and will not charge.  Any suggestions?  I did download a ringtone app and went on to iTunes to sync!. 

    Try charging the iPhone via a wall socket for at least 30 minutes then try a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

  • My two months old IPhone5(AT n T) not receiving calls (quite a few times) even though signals are good,Because sometimes people are calling my landline and asking Is your phone switched off ? In fact network also good at that time.Any fix ?

    My two months old IPhone5(AT n T) not receiving calls ( quite a few times - Till now it happened around 15-16 times) even though signals are good,Because sometimes people are calling my landline and asking me that  Is your phone switched off ? Infact network also good at that time.Not sure about the problem.
    I contacted AT n T also and explained about the problem, They suggested to monitor few more days...whether it is real network issue or not. But I am very sure it is NOT network issue because one day I was waiting for my brother at my office open parking space, And i called my brother whether he is ready at his place so that i can go and pick him, but he told it takes sometime...and he told, he will call in 15 mins, So i was at the same location (NOT even moved 1 inch also ), just sitting and listening music and after 30 mins, I called him back and asked Still not ready, then he replied he was trying me from last 15 mins and it is going to voice mail , I got similar complaint from others as well. Today also my cousin called my landline and asked Is your phone switched off ? because i was trying to reach you but it is going to voice message, I saw the signals at that time, Signal strength is very good. I think there is some problem in Iphone5 may be LTE or something.
    Taking phone to next levels is good, But it should NOT hamper it's basic phone functionality ( Make calls, receiving calls, Voice mail etc ). Please let me know if any fix for this.

    You say it started on yours after upgrading to iOS 8.  I've been on iOS 8.0 for quite some time and only recently did this issue spring up. 
    The one thing I haven't tried is downgrading it back to iOS 7 (which would be a shame, but if it's the only answer...)
    I'll get back to you once I've tried that.

  • While using phone screen continuously cycles on and off not allowing me to push buttons on screen

    I've been noticing since purchasing the iPhone 5 for Christmas(2012) that when I am on the phone and I need to press buttons on the screen( like press one for english) the phone's screen will cycle on and of not allowing me to press anything.  Even to the point sometimes it will not allow me to hit the end button to end the call. I have to Hit power/lock button to end call.  Really anyoning espicially when talking a computer aided 1800 number.  Also there is a intermittent loud hum coming from the ear speaker.  Is this common problem with these or should I take it in to store?  It only seems to happen while using the phone.

    I had the same problem and was convinced my new phone was broken. I scoffed at the suggestions I saw here that it was my 2G's Piel Frama case. And you know what? That's what it ended up being. There's a little part of it on the upper left of the iphone and when the phone went black as I removed it from my ear to look for the keypad, I pulled that piece of leather away and poof! I had a keypad. It was totally the case. The new phone fits in the old case just fine, but the placement of the sensor isn't in the same place. I wouldn't have believed it otherwise.
    BTW, if you hit the home button when that happens you'll get your screen back, but it's better to fix the case issue.

    It may be due to Continuity

    Thank you.

    Turn off iMessage in your phones settings.   Apple devices can only use iMessage to other Apple devices.
    Turning off iMessage will allow the messages to go as regular text messages.
