Should iphone 4 receive messages when turned off and display them when switched back on

should iphone 4 receive messages when turned off and display them when switched back on

It's up to the cellular carrier, but I believe most (if not all) will enqueue the messages when your iPhone is off.
So generally speaking, a few minutes after you turn your iPhone on, your messages should display.  Similarly, your voicemails would arrive.

  • The iPhone I got yesterday turned off and will not turn back on.

    The iPhone I got yesterday turned off and will not turn back on.

    Is it charged? If so 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.  If it's not charged, charge it via a wall socket for a least 30 minutes then try the reset again.

  • My one day old MacBook pro just turned off and it won't come back on either through mains or battery power

    My one day old MacBook pro just turned off and it won't come back on either through mains or battery power it's as if the unit is completely dead. Even with the mains plugged in there is no green or orange light to say its charging or full charged. The battery was fully charged anyway seconds before the screen went off.

    When you say no green or orange light are you refering to the little led on the magsafe connector?  That could mean either the charger/cable are bad or the circuitry in the MBP is faulty.  Since this is a brand new MBP best bet is to take it back to an Apple Retail store and have the genius bar staff take a look.  They can determine if it needs to be reparired or replaced.

  • My iPhone 3gs just randomly turned off and won't turn back on

    I was just using my phone, and nothing happened. As of lately picture mail, and videos have been sending as a text message to other iPhone users even while connected to wifi. My phone just randomly turned off and won't turn back on. I just got it in July so its not very old and I have the hard protection case on it. Is there any way that I can reset it or something?

    Hold the home and power button down at the same time.

  • Hi... Iphone 4 has just turned off and I can't turn it on. what the matter could be. please anybody help!

    The first time it was when I had gone to vacation to Turkey. On the second day of my vacation it turned off and then turned on after a few days when the battery was low!I pluged charge in and everything was ok. And today, since 3 weeks, it behaves the same!

    My iPhone did the same about an hour or so ago. I've tried to reset it but it doesn't work. It has happened once and at that Time the device was vibrating from time to time. At the store they reseted it ( my pré joue attempts to do so had just faire like tokay).  Help !

  • My iphone 3G Backlight keeps turning off and on every 15 - 20 seconds.

    My iphone 3G keeps turning off and on (only backlight) every 15 - 20 seconds when in sleep mode. When I say turning on and off, it is not switch on-off, it is only back light that gets turn on and off. This is causing the battery to exhaust quickly.

    First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again.
    If the problem persits, set it up "as new device". If this does not work, do it again, this time not using the backup after the new set up.
    If still no luck, get it serviced or visit your nearest Apple Store.

  • My iPhone had charge but turned off and won't turn on even when it is in the charger

    My iphone 4 turned off still with charge, I have tried to charge and connect to I tunes and nothing is happening HELP

    Hello Samoens,
    I would be concerned too if my iPhone wasn't powering on.  I found some steps you can take to address issues like this:
    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 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 15 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.

  • Rebooting when turning off and percentage problems

    i have downloaded 3.1.3 and since then when i turn my iphone on in the morning my percentage will show the wrong amount, then when i unlock it a second later it will jump to the right percentage, an example is this morning i knew it was at about 45% but i turned on the iphone and it said 19% and a warning flashed up that i was at 20% then when i unlocked it it jumped back to 45%, it is so annoying..also it reboots when i turn it off at night which ruins my usage and standby times..and yes i have tried everything even restoring to a new iphone..anyone else having this? im going to send feedback i urge everyone else too.

  • My ibook loses battery power when turned off and unplugged

    I have been puzzled by this since November 2006. I calibrated my battery twice as prescribed and still, as soon as i shut down my ibook and unplug it, it's battery charge goes down. Why is this? I'd greatly appreciate help. I'm a former pc user and none of my pc laptops have this problem. I just want to know why my battery loss power when unplugged and turned off. thanks in advance

    Well you might want to try what they call "battery reconditioning" which is 7 simple steps listed below:
    1: Charge your iPod fully.
    2: Use it till you cant trun it on anymore!
    3: Then carge your iPod fully again.
    4: Then Use it till you cant trun it on anymore!
    5: One more time charge your iPod fully.
    6: And then again Use it till you cant trun it on anymore!
    7: Then one last time charge it fully again.
    Reminder: it is best to let the battery die all of the way each time inbetween chages. for example if it has 60% battery life dont charge it use it till it is dead and then charge it up all the way!
    *This should inturn maximise your battey life also!*

  • My iPhone's flash wont turn off and the Power button is not working

    Ealier today, my iPhone got wet from the rain, my camera started to malfuction and the flash or the LED light stayed on throughout the whole afternoon. I couldn't turn it off and it just ran out of battery.

    If your power button is broken, there's not much you can do. You could go to an Apple store & do an out of warranty exchange...Apple doesn't fix iPhones, they replace them. But, I wouldn't recommend doing so, as the iPhone 3G was discontinued almost three years ago & won't run most apps in the app store.
    You'd be better served by selling it for parts & using the money to purchase a new phone.
