  • I have the iPhone4. It wont stay on unless it's plugged into the charger. When on the charger it doesn't get service or connect to wifi. Sometimes, even on the charager it shuts off. Note: It's always on 100% to 90%. How do I fix this?

    As stated. I have the iPhone4, I've had it personally for a year now. It's a hand-me-down phone from my uncle who had for for at least two years. For an old phone it worked perfectly. The ocassional hang up on the caller when I try to lock it, but overall it worked perfectly.
    Now, it started to glitch out a lot. From not letting me unlock my phone for the few minutes, to now shutting off on on regardless of where it's at. I started noticing that my phone would shut itself off, even at 40% when I'm at work. To fix it I would have to find a charger, plug it in for a few moments and it would turn back on. I would be cautious not to put it upsidedown otherwise it'd shut off again.
    As of last night, ((9/18/13 )) My phone turned off. I've already gone through the charade numerous times. So I put it on my charger but this time when my phone turned on I didn' have service and it didnt get wifi. Even the red buttons/notifications on my phone were there but didn't read any numbers. Obvioulsy I couldn't make calls or even send a text messages. Sometimes when it turns on I can't even use my apps. Even when fully charged, the moment the chargers is slightly out my phone shuts off as if it died
    Now, my phone even on the charger shuts on and off. I'm unable to use apps. I get no service or wifi.
    Is this fixable? Or has my phone had it's last Hoorah?

    it sure sounds like the battery is defect

  • My ipad 4 is frozen not charged wont stay on and has a dark grey keyboard that wont go away not charging

    my ipad 4 is frozen not charged wont stay on and has a dark grey keyboard that wont go away not charging

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

  • Samsung Charge wont stay on 3G

    My new charge and my wifes wont stay on 3G networks.  We have to restart the phone and then it will restart with 3 g service and after about 5 minutes or less it goes back to regular service with no connectability.  What is up with that.  It happens everytime,  restart,  3g for 5 minutes and then back to regular service.  My friends can be sitting right next to me with there phones that aren't the Charge and they all have 3g.  Any ideas.

    Hello paperclips,
    I’m sorry to hear you’re still having difficulties with your device not staying on 3G. Do you notice this is happening in particular areas or is it happening everywhere? If it's happening everywhere I would recommend you do a factory reset following these steps:
    Go to Menu
    Go to  Settings
    Go to  Privacy
    Select Factory data reset from the Personal data section
    Select Reset phone. Keep in mind this will erase all data from your phone but it won't erase current system software, bundled applications and SD card files like photos and music.
    If it's only happening in certain areas please reach out to our technical support team at 866-892-7957 to open a trouble ticket for the area.

  • HT201210 my ipod wont turn on unless its plugged into the charger?

    my ipod touch wont turn on unless plugged into charger what should i do?

    Try:
    - 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.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem (very likely), make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Likely a bad battery.

  • My ipod is stuck on connect to itunes i think its in a loop. plus it wont turn on unless its connected to a power source.

    my ipod touch is stuck in a connect to itunes loop, plus it wont turn on unless its conneted to a power source. how could i fix this.

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Then try restoring on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have hardware problem.

  • I asked this about a week ago and didn't get any replies.. Please help.. My macbook will not stay on unless plugged in...

    My macbook will not stay on without being plugged in. I had my macbook for about 3 years and the battery had less than 200 cycles on it and the computer suddenly would not stay on unless plugged in (went from holding about 1.5 hr charge to not holding charge at all). I purchased a new battery and this battery has 118 cycles on it. It is doing the same thing. When I unplug it the computer shuts off immediately. It will not stay in sleep mode either. What should I do? I assumed that it was because I tend to leave the computer plugged in so that the cycles stay low, but after only 118 cycles? (and the new battery is less than 8 months old). Could my computer be failing to register the battery? Please help me - I don't want to have to spend another $80 on a battery. (Just so you know, I have removed the battery and made sure the connection is good but this did not help.)

    If your problems with the new battery are the same as the old battery, it would seem your Mac isn't charging the battery properly.
    Perhaps it's a Magsafe/charger issue.
    Read through the power section of this User tip here, try everyting, including the SMU Reset and see if that makes any difference.

    We can't do too much more than that as it seems to be a hardware issue and we can't fix that too much.

  • Screen Cracked and replaced, now phone wont stay on, and now i cant get it to turn back on

    about 3 days ago i dropped my phone and the screen cracked.  Although it was cracked it still worked fine with no issues and the new ios6 was installed prior to it breaking.  I brought it to a iphone repair store where they fixed the screen.  After a day i noticed the phone just turned itself off so i put it on the charger and returned and it was working.  ever since then it has now shut off randomly for no reason, battery was either fully charged or more than 50%.  I hooked it up to my computer to restore it today and it seemed to work for about 3 or 4 hours until it started to turn off on its own.  i would restart it and it would work for a shorter and shorter period of time until now it wont stay on at all.  i plugged it into the charger and it goes through the apple powerup screen and when it turns on it says searching for network in the top left corner.  when i press apps and such it is very laggy and it eventually freezes and the screen fades to black and the cell phone turns off.  I cannot get it to stay on now, even when it stays plugged into the charger...HELP PLEASE!!! is this an apple issue or something the repair shop may be responisble for?????

    The reapair shop is probably responsible. And now that you took it to a third party and not to apple store, Apple will not touch your phone at all. So you will probaly have to buy a new one or go back to the reapir shop and hope they can fix it.

  • Ipod touch 2nd generation wont turn on or charge

    Hello I have an Ipod Touch 2nd Gen and it wont turn on or charge. I have pluged it into a wall 4 days ago and its been charging in multiple outlets (such as computers and walls) and its been displaying a red battery with a lightning symbol. When I unplug it the screen goes black and nothing happens. I have tried holding down the power button but nothing will work. Also when I plug it into a computer it doesnt show up on itunes, as additional info it is a 8gb black ipod touch 2ng gen, no camera, and ios 4.1. Thank you

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar                          
    Also:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    my ipod shuffle is showing up when plugged into my computer. Also, isn't the orange light suppose to stay on until charged. Mine lights orange for a minute and then goes off and also it wont be recongnize by my computer .please help

    I'm having the same problem.  I'm using a new shuffle usb cable in my 2nd generation shuffle and nothing shows up on computer.  I'm wondering if the dock for the second gen is different than the new usb cable direct into the 2nd gen shuffle. I don't have a dock for it.  Before I buy one on ebay I hope someone can assist.

  • Airport Icon wont stay turned on..

    Hi Guys
    For somereasom today, my Airport icon on the top right hand of my screen wont stay illuminated and thus, my internet connection keeps dying.
    Its fine on my Macbook Pro but not on my Mac Pro desktop...?
    At the moment there is just a blank icon with an explination mark on it - any ideas?
    Thanx a lot in advance for your help
    Jozif

    I seem to be having the same problem. We were in Mexico on vacation, and on the second day I was taking some photos near the water with some highways and some water splashed on the camera, but it seems to still be working for the next few hours. When I stop taking pictures and came back to the camera a few hours after, I tried turning it on and the set date and time settings screen was displayed. After I entered the settings, I was able to resume taking pictures. However, when I turned the camera off, then on again, that same screen displayed it again.
    The next day, I went to turn on the camera, and the lands would not extend fully and will turn off main extension. When I held down the power button, it would retract back but not all the way. If I hit the playback button, I was only then able to fully close the lens. I'm thinking now in hindsight, I should have not tried to turn it on, and just put it in a bag of rice right away, but it's probably too late for that now, and since I'm thinking the water that got on it was salt water from the ocean, it might have corroded some terminals or some electronics inside, I'm not sure. But I don't think I want to pay $200 for Canon to just look at it, and then come back to me saying they can't fix the camera. The warranty has just run out, and I think I might be better off just buying a new camera.

  • Why my iphone wont open after over charged?

  • So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone won't stay on unless connected to mains... Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly. HELP

    So my iPhone 4S started draining battery after recent update, battery got changed and it worked perfect for 3 days, all of a sudden the phone  shut down and now won't stay on unless connected to mains... Claims its at 100% battery but thats impossible as it was at 30% before it shut down randomly.
    Cannot receive any signal "searching" constantly.
    Turns off as soon as removed from usb ... wont stay on connected to laptop!
    HELP!

    The iPhone includes a one year warranty. If an Apple store is not nearby, you can call AppleCare and handle an exchange under warranty over the phone. The exchange will be shipped to your door - someone must sign for the delivery so if no one will be at home, have it delivered where you work. You use the same box to return the existing iPhone back to Apple. Return shipping label and tape to reveal the box incuded - call the carrier with number incuded when the box is ready to be picked up. AppleCare will request a credit card in the event the existing iPhone is not returned within 10 days after the exchange under warranty is received.
    Hardware can fail - it happens, which is why there is a one year warranty.
