Why does my iPhone 4s keep shutting off when it gets to 15% battery life?

It just shuts off, and once I put it on the charger, it will turn on with 18% or more.  This has been happening for the past few days now, and I don't know what's going on o_O

Have you been doing the recommended running the iPhone until it powers down then recharging to 100% once a month or so, in order to keep the charge readout calibrated?

  • 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.

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Why does my wireless keyboard keep shutting off?

    Why does my wireless keyboard keep shutting off?
    It is not the batteries.

    More experience leads me to believe the problem is with the new iMac.  If I get the network going by turning AirPort Extreme power off, then on, I see a good signal at my iMac. Experience shows the network drops off after several hours. But yesterday I turned the iMac off, and the network remainded up (I could see it on my iPhone and iPad) throughout the night.  That's the first time that has happened since I got the new iMac.  Never had this issue with the old machine. I transferred all file to the new machine from a Time Machine backup that was up-to-date.  Am working with Apple support. They had me do a re-boot of the AirPort and will call back tomorrow AM to learn it did not solve the problem, but turning off the iMac does.  Darn.

  • Why does my iMac display keep shutting off?  Computer still running in the background.  I've tried unplugging and restarting, to no avail.

    Why does my iMac display keep shutting off?  Computer still running in the background.  I've tried unplugging and restarting, to no avail.    The computer is well out of warranty - about 7-8 years old, running 10.6.8

    Checked.... the settings had not been inadvertently changed, but I did move the scroll and reset them back to the original.   Hasn't shut off again.... yet.   Will re-post with follow-up one way or the other.   Thanks.

  • Why does my iPad mini keep shutting off every two seconds?

    Why does my iPad mini keep shutting off every two seconds?

    I doubt that anyone here can answer that question with any validity...
    That being said, try to reset the device:
    *Device reset*
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

    If it still doesn't work, try a reset.

  • Why does my Iphone 4s keep shutting down on me? Its not just the apps shutting down, its the whole phone. Is there a fix for this? Or has this happened to anyone else?

  • Why does my MacBook Pro keep shutting off while I'm using it with full battery?

    My Battery is 100% full and it keeps shutting off randomly, how can I fix this?

    This is something you should log. Whenever your machine shuts off randomly, make a note of the time and what you were doing on your machine at the time. You may find that the shut downs aren't random at all. I had a similar problem with "random" shutdowns, and discovered that there was a power supply issue.
    Please post here with your results.

  • Why does my NEW ipod keep shutting off in less than 30 seconds of play time

    Rcv'd ipod at Christmas; was setup in spanish when I first turned on & thought that was weird; had issues trying to download version 10 of itunes but after two days it finally went through successfully; charged for two days; used for first time today and it keeps shutting off after 30-90 seconds of playtime; is this a common issue or do I need to send back?

    No, push the headphones firmly all the way in. The headphone jack on new nanos is very tight, make sure the plastic on the headset jack is flush with the body of the nano.

  • 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

    When the "white symbol" is the white Apple logo, it is starting up....
    Can take some time.
