Why does my iPhone 4s turn off on its own periodically, always with atleast 50-100% charge?

This happens about every 2 days and my phone is always charged sufficiently so it is not a low battery issue. It also won't turn back on with just the power button. I took a chance and held the power button and the main browser button in order to get it to turn back on but it takes a few minutes to power up. Is there a recall, as I have read about this issue before since my wifes phone did it the very day we bought them.

you have to isolate it if its a hardware or software issue
the best way to do this is to actually restore the device as new and observe if the issue persists
if its fixed, great, if not your probably looking at a hardware problem with your device
before restoring, its a must that you have a back up of all your data

Why does my phone constantly turn off on its own as if the battery is dead?

why does my phone constantly turn off on its own as if the battery is dead? Its so annoying! Every day once my battery life span is at about 40%, my phone will start shutting down with the dead battery sign once it is down. Then after about 3 minutes i can turn it back on.

Tons of people have this problem with iPhone 4S and 5, whether they are on iOS 6 or 7. You can only hope that one day Apple realizes that this bug (software ? hardware ?) is a *real* pain. So far, they haven't paid attention.

Why does my iphone keep turning off when i put my pass code in

why does my iphone keep turning off when i put my pass code in

Hi ManiPictures,
If your iPhone shuts down unexpectedly during use, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
As your iPhone's operating system is already up to date with iOS 8.1.1, follow the last instruction -
If you still see this issue after updating, contact Apple Support.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Why does my iPhone 3GS turn off when the battery charge is only as low as 70%?

After my iPhone 3Gs has been fully charged, whenever that charge drops to the 50% to 70% range, the phone turns off. When I try to turn it on again, the Apple icon appears the first few times, followed only by a blank screen each time -- the home button does nothing. Beyond those times, when I try to awaken it, I can see a faint design that includes a plug, a red battery and suggests it is out of charge. This also happens if I depress the awake and home buttons concurrently.

Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem. Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source. Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all. In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
Is there any help for this affliction?

Why does my iPhone 5 turn off when it reaches 6%?

I have an iPhone 5. About a month ago the phone started acting weird. When it reaches 6 or 7% it automatically turns off and if I turn it on again it will turn off in a few seconds. Also a month ago I could go on for 2 days with the battery but now I can hardly make it through the day. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks

Hello tilen
Check out the Power/Battery section to troubleshoot your issue with your iPhone powering off on you. Check to make sure that your iPhone is also not working in the background on some apps by checking in Setting > General > Usage and there will be a Usage and Standby time to see if it is powering off within normal operating use.

Why does my iphone 4 turn off by itself randomly? I have read many posts on this and there seems to be no solution other than replacing it.

It turns off randomly and sometimes when I try to turn it back on, it doesn't turn on right away. Sometimes it would take multiple tries before it actually turns back on. I have read many posts regarding this and there seems to be no solution. The bad thing about this also is that I don't have a warranty either.

Because there is a hardware problem.
Apple has an out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price which pays for an exchange at a discounted price off the full retail sales price, or if you qualify for upgrade pricing with your carrier you can purchase a 4S or iPhone 5 for about the same or not much more depending on storage capacity.

Why does my iPhone 4 turn off when plugged in?

My iPhone wont turn on unless plugged in, so I plug it in and it turns on..it says it's Wednesday Dec. 31 , 4:01 and thats wrong. It also says the battery life is at a 100% but I know that isn't right as well. It shuts off and then powers on again and repeats the same thing. I tried plugging it in to my Mac and the apple logo comes up and then goes away and that repeats over and over if plugged in.

iOS version? Jailbroken?

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

Why does my Iphone just turn off, even with a good charge?

I got a small amount of moisture into my iphone and after it dried out I was unable to update the phone. That was finally done and things seemed Ok however now the phone just shuts off at random times. Any thoughts suggestions?

Hi,
Probably best to have Apple take a look at it. You can make an appointment at a Genius Bar in advance here.
You could try restoring your iPhone. Instructions here.

Why does my iphone 4 turn off when i remove from the charger?

I have no signal. The message pops up "restore needed" iphone cannot receive or make calls. It will not connect to my iTunes either! Any help on how to resolve this issue??? Thanks!!!

Because it detected an external power source. That's normal. It's been that way since the first iPhone.

Why does my Internet sharing turn off daily?

Why does internet sharing keep turning off?

Are the Airport bars still black & showing good signal when it gets lost?
Could there be another Network nearby on the same channel?
Any Microwave sources like TVs, Cell Phones, Ovens around?
Does the one providing Internet remain connect to the Internet when this happens?
Is the Ethernet Interface on the Mac that connects to the Internet dragged to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations, with Airport below it?
