Why does my phone randomly turn off?

Hello..so when I'm listening to music or using an app, my phone will randomly restart itself. Why???

Also if i shake the phone around- the light will turn off but if I accidently touvh it again it'll turn on.
Sounds like a hardware problem to me.
Try a reset first by pressing the home and sleep (on/off) buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
It's unlikely that a restore will help but you can try... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • Why does my ipod randomly turn off after 5-10 minutes of use?

    Why does my ipod randomly turn off after 5-10 minutes of use?  Is the battery defective?

  • 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 iPod randomly turn off?

       I have an iPod 3rd generation. I will be playing an app,surfing the web, or checking my emails and my iPod will randomly turn off. First it will dim to the point you can barely see it, then it freezes, and turns off.  I have tried restoring it, and a  force shutdown. I don't know what else to do. PLEASE HELP!!!

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • 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?

  • I was on the phone last night and my phone randomly turned off.  It will not come back on even when I have tried to hold the home button and the power button together while being plugged into the computer.  What do I do?

    I was on the phone last night and my phone randomly turned off. It will not come back on even when I have tried to hold the home button and the power button at the same time, while being plugged into the computer? What do I do?

    Plug it into power for at least 15 minutes.  If it doesn't automatically come on, try a reset... press the home and sleep (on/off) buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • 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,

  • 5s Phone randomly turning off

    My phone is randomly turning off for the past month. I have already taken it to an apple store who had a look and performed a battery drain and assured me the battery was fine. I do NOT see how.
    It is turning off at different points, it has turned off at around 34% and it has just then turned off at 72%.
    I cannot turn my phone back on without plugging it into a charger.. This is very difficult especially for work alarms and such.
    When i turn my phone back on, the battery percentage can sometimes say either 0-10% however just now it still says 72%.
    This is happening multiple times a day now and is causing a huge problem.
    I have heard of Iphone battery calibrations but apparently this can no longer happen on the 5's.
    Can anybody help!?!?

    The support is strong with this one.

  • Why does my ipod nano turn off and on?

    why does my ipod nano turn on and off?

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
    Did you try everything above, including trying on another computer? If so then
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT201210 why does my phone keeps turning on and off by itself ?

    Hi, my phone is been acting weird. My phone keeps turning on and off by itself and it frezzes. What should i do ?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 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 Siri and Maps turn off the phone when activated?

    I have a 4S less than 1.5 years old and  bought it because I wouldn't get any viruses.  I use the phone for calls, e-mail, surfing web and directions.  Now when I engage Siri or Maps for directions/location, my phone turns off and restarts.  I get nothing, nada, black screen and then an Apple log and then I am back to square one.    I think I have a bug of some sort that got in when the web page I went to asked to use my location and wouldn't let me say no.   Has this happened to anyone else?  How can I fix it?  -bam

    Try a reset:
    Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
    Settings > Safari >
         Clear History

  • Why does my ipad keep turning off mirroring

    When I try to turn on mirroring of my iPhone 4 or iPad2 it just turns off within seconds. Why?

    Tony, try shutting down completely anything else you are doing. ( double tap the home key etc). Mirroring is a real load on both the processor as well as the wifi.  Trying to mirror and fast game, for instance, will push the padmto the limit.  And whn it crosses over the limit, it just shuts down.  If you are trying to mirror a game, amke sure all the safari uses are shut off.  If you are trying to mirror a web page, make sure the games are closed off.

  • Why does my ipod touch turn off and not turn on for a while

    every once in a while my ipod touch turns off and wont turn back on for a day or two. So why does it do this, it is from over use of the ipod?

    Try the following fixes in order:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
    - Restore the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod
    If yo still have the problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
