Sprint iPhone powers off automatically

I have a Sprint iPhone and it keeps powering off by itself. I will go to use it and I can't turn it back on by hitting the home button or the power button. I thought the battery was dead but when I plugged it in and held the power and home button for about ten seconds it came back on with the Apple logo. The battery showed 97% so my only thought is that it is power down by itself somehow. This last time it was sitting on my desk so it wasn't hitting something in my pocket or anything. Any thoughts?

This is not normal nor acceptable so if there was no change after a full restore, I think it is time you called AppleCare or if you live near an Apple Store, make an appointment to have your iPhone checked. If you are past the 14 day window after purchase, if there is a problem discovered that requires a repair or replacement, the Apple Store will send your iPhone off to AppleCare anyway so I would start there first regardless.

  • BB Z10 Powers off automatically/screen freezes

    I see I am not the only customer whose BB Z10 powers off automatically or has their BB screeen go black or freeze. This is the second phone since I purchased on May 2. Can anyone give me a suggestion as to what to do. I really like this phone, but don't like phone powering off in the middle of an email. Help.

        Troubledbbuser, let's unfreeze your device and stop it from powering off by itself. Have you downloaded a few applications to your device? Some application's software can affect the performance of your device. I recommend that you delete any unwanted applications on your device and power it off/on. Keep us posted and reach out to us on Twitter @VZWSUPPORT if need additional assistance.

  • My iphone powered off and will not turn back on.  It is fully charged.

    I have a new iphone 4S and it powered off and will not turn back on and its fully charged.  Help.

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart, usually about 10 seconds time. If still problem, connect iPhone to Wall Charger and Reset, this can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger.

  • Iphone powers off

    Since 3.1, my phone will randomly power off and refuse to turn back on for a good 5 minutes or more. It will also power off while the battery meter is saying it has more than 10% power left, but in these cases the battery is actually dead.

    Hi,
    I installed 3.1 yesterday night and I had the same issue 3 times today.
    Edit: In fact, I don't think the phone powers off. I think it crashes. I have to reset it to get it running again. And for me, it does not seem to be related to the battery.

  • Iphone went off automatically not working even after trying all suggestions

    my iphone 4 went off by itself,, i tried nearly all the things suggested here but all vain..its still in not working position..suggest me something better as i need it urgently..???

    A new phone has a warranty.  So take it to an Apple store.  If they can't fix it, they will replace the phone.  Or do you mean: it stopped working after 9 days, but then you waited until the warranty ran out and then ask us?

  • iPhone Preventing iPhone from powering off during an app...

    Hello all,
    Back with you for yet another question...
    Anybody knows how to prevent the iPhone from powering off if no input while an app is running ?
    I'm thinking of building an app that would launch an alarm when motion is detected, but the app would need to be run without the iPhone powering off...
    Thanks for any ideas, I haven't found anything yet, but I know it's possible as many "official" apps support this...
    Thanks.
    Serge

    Ok, we're talking about the same thing. It's called "system sleep" in the docs, and the user setting under Settings->General is called "Auto-Lock" in English. This is how to turn Auto-Lock off for your application:
    [UIApplication sharedApplication].idleTimerDisabled = YES;
    Here is the precaution from the UIApplication reference:
    Important: You should set this property only if necessary and should be sure to reset it to NO when
    the need no longer exists. Most applications should let the system turn off the screen when the idle
    timer elapses. This includes audio applications. With appropriate use of Audio Session Services,
    playback and recording proceed uninterrupted when the screen turns off. The only applications that
    should disable the idle timer are mapping applications, games, or similar programs with sporadic
    user interaction.

  • IPhone need periodic recharging if powered off?

    I am keeping my iPhone 4 to be able to use overseas.  I will not be using it otherwise (getting an iPhone 5-CDMA model).  It will be powered off.  Do I need to recharge it periodically?

    No, if you'll keep your iPhone powered off there is no need to recharge periodically

  • Iphone5s turns off automatically

    Hello! I have iphone 5s and now i noticed what my iphone  turns off automatically...maybe somebody already had such problem?

    Hello Alivini,
    It sounds like your phone is turning off unexpectedly. I recommend these steps from the following article, they will get you to a resolution:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    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.
    If these steps do not resolve the issue, follow this step from toward the bottom of the article:
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • My iphone is switched off suddenly n then it wont b started it continously shows the apple logo then again switched off automatically and when i charge it so it was switched on and after a long time then it shows battery low and then its also show 4% batt

    Hello s0ha1b
    If all you get is the Apple logo and it powering off, then the next step is to put your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. If you have a back up, then you can put that on there to once the restore is complete.

  • HT201401 my iphone 4 is charged fully however it switches off automatically oftne

    I bought Iphone 4 from US during May 2011.  It is working fine till now.  But it often switches off automatically. Though it is fully charged this also does not displayed in Itunes in the system.
    Any solution to this

    There is likely a hardware problem.
    If your iPhone randomly powers completely off, there is a major problem.
    If no change after restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone, if you are in the U.S. call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • Does anybody no how to switch off automatic updates on the iphone 5.

    Does anybody no how to switch off automatic updates on the iphone 5 many thanks was1521 UK.

    The reason i asked about automatic updates was because my provider 02 told me about it they said turn it off or get something called a Bolt-on which would provide me with so much internet data at a set price so thanks for your reply Kilted Tim.

  • My iphone does not automatically switch off the display light when locked. How do I fix this?

    I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 8.2 software.
    My iPhone does not automatically switch off the display light when it is locked. Therefore, if I get an e-mail/text message/pop-up from other application, the light just stays on, which obviously drains my battery.
    The problem just started yesterday, and it has been a couple of days since I updated the software, so I wouldn't think the software update is the problem.
    I have tried restarting the phone (using home and lock button), but that did not work.
    Something else that seems weird is that once in a while, a blue beam rolls over the screen from one side to the other. I don't know why it does this, and have no idea whether this is related to the display light issue.
    I hope someone is able to help by telling me what to do in order to get my phone to act normal again.
    Thank you x

    Restart your device by holding the home and power button until the Apple logo appears. You will not lose any data.

  • Woke up this morning and iPhone 3GS had reset itself and powered off!!

    So I got up this morning and picked up my iPhone 3GS and discovered that it had powered off. Strange.
    I turned it on and it asked me to plug it into iTunes to reset and restore it!!! What in the &#$#!??!
    The real ****** is that I lost some very important notes that did not get synced before the phone died. Thanks a lot Apple. You have made me look like an _ss.
    There is nothing to indicate why this happened. I did nothing different and had not installed anything.
    I am on iPhone OS 3.1 running Snow Leopard 10.6.1 and iTunes 9.0.1
    Argh!!

    I seem to have somehow solved this
    So this is what I did
    turn off / re-power up
    Reset all settings
    check emails - no change
    went to one of my email accounts (as I have multiple emails) and turned off the main one of the SMTP server
    it then worked
    No doubt I will be back here again when it fails again
    (as obviously there is something in IOS5 triggering this)
