Why does my iPhone 4 keep turning on and off

this started happening about two weeks ago. my phone just turns off to the apple logo and back on where i would have to put my password back in, the phone does this at random times so i dont know when its going to happen. Ive already tried restoring my phone in itunes but that hasnt fixed the problem. I have an appointment today at the Genius Bar so do yo think that they would be able to replace my phone? this issue is getting really annoying. PS. i do have applecare if that matters.

if you have phone support they can help you. since you are going into the retail store they can help you out to. it sounds like a software issue which shouldn't be too hard for them to fix. if they cant tho they will probably replace it.

Why does my iphone 3gs keep turning off when i sync it with itunes like it tells me to when updating to IOS6?

please help

Hi Luke.Wilkins6,
It sounds like you are pressing the top Sleep/Wake button and the phone seems to shutdown rather than go to sleep, and occasionally youll see a purple screen rather than the Apple logo when you start it. I would start by resetting the phone, with these steps:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
If the issue persists I would use the following article to backup your device to iTunes and restore it from your backup. If the issue persists, then restore it one more time as new using the same article to isolate to the backup file itself.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Why does my iPhone 3gs keep crashing?

My iPhone 3GS keeps chucking me out of everything - apps, web and even typing a text! Its infuriating, I just get to the end of typing a message and it just goes off and back to the "home" screen. When I go back in to the text that I typed has gone!!! If I am googling or on Facebook it does the same thing.
Has anyone else had this? Any tips (apart from sledge hammer) would be gratefully received!!! Thanks!

Why does my iPhone 3GS keep powering off into a black screen with what looks like a barcode displayed?

My iPhone 3GS keeps powering off at any point when between 5 and 50% battery remains.
I could be in the middle of texting, receiving a call or using an app when all of a sudden the screen goes black and very faint randomly distributed lines are visible from the top of the screen to the bottom. The display looks a little like a barcode. I am then unable to restart the phone without plugging it into a power supply. I've looked on the Internet and cannot find a similair case.
It is so frustrating and I am continually thinking it will crash at any point.
Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Why does my iPhone 4 keep turning of when the personal hotspot is turned on

My iPhone 4 keeps turning itself off when I connect my laptop into it with the personal hotspot. I have a Sony Vaio and it only turns off when it's plugged into that. My iPhone is iOS 5.0.1. Please help

My iPhone 4S keeps turning on and off randomly

I dropped my iPhone 4S in water two days ago, but I put it in rice almost immediately. It was working fine yesterday, but now it won't stop turning on and off randomly. Like it would stay on for maybe 1-5 minutes, but then the screen will turn weird and the display starts to fade and then power off. Then it will just power on again, but only if it is connected to the USB and is charging.
Can someone please help? I don't have apple care or insurance, or whatever, so will Apple fix my phone if I go to their store (I don't mind paying, of course)?

By taking it to a third party repair shop, you have voided the warranty if you had one still, and now apple will not touch your phone. You should take it back to the repair shop that messed up your phone and see if they can refix it. Or you will need to buy a new phone.

Why does my iPhone 3GS keep restarting on its own, and when I move the phone while its restarting, a white screen comes up and then it takes a while to turn it back on!

So i have an iPhone 3GS and when i move the phone while its restarting, a white screen shows up, and sometimes i need to punch it to turn it on. HELP i dealt with this problem for months and im sick of it! HELP ME!!!!

Sounds like hardware failure, called boot loop. Call Apple and or go on apple.com and make Genius Bar appointment to have your iphone reviewed by a Tech. Provided you iphone shows no physical or liquid damage they will take care of you, or if you have Apple Care Plus

HT201401 Why does my iPhone 3G keep turning off by itself even when it's not dead?

My dad had his iPhone 3G and gave it to me when he had an upgrade. He never had the issue of it turning off by itself, but when he gave it to me, all of a sudden it decided to turn off by itself even when it was on like 80% still.
I took it in to the Apple Store near me and they said that I had too much "stuff" on it, mostly music.
So, I completely redid my phone. I reset it completely so that it looked like a completely new iPhone. And then downloaded only 12 apps and 195 songs. And, only about 50 pictures. (This is an 8 gig by the way)
Right now, there's less than 4 gigs on there so far meaning I still have more than half of my phone to fill. They guy at the store said it needs 2 gigs to run.
SO, it should have started working since theres way less stuff on there now, and more than enough space to run. Why does it keep turning off still though?
It's so annoying and inconvenient. If anyone could help it would be SO appreciated.
THANKS!!

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as a new device. Go through each step in succession until your issue is resolved.

Why does my iPhone 3gs keep getting kicked off of the internet?

When I start going onto the internet page the page comes on then as I amreading it it goes to black and back to the home page for the iphone.
Why does this happen?

Mine does that too. I was wondering if it was due to the OS and that sometimes its too much for the 3GS. I've had mine almost 3 years. Maybe someone more knowledgeable will help. :)
(i finally upgraded to the iPhone 5 so I'm looking forward to that!)

My iphone 3gs keeps turning its self off

it keeps turning its self on but wen i put it on the gharger it works perfectly

Try resetting it by holding the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo, then releasing. If it won't reset, force it into recovery mode and restore it, as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
