  • My iPhone 4S keeps turning itself off when I still have battery life and then it doesn't charge?

    It's only just started doing this and it's really annoying me now!! Ha
    I'll charge my phone up overnight then a couple of hours into the next day the battery wil be down to about 20% then it will say I only have 10% left even though I will have 20% if you see what I mean? And then to top it off it turns itself off and won't let me recharge!!
    It did happen to my iPad the other week but that seems to be fine now.
    I've tried changing and checking chargers etc but they seem to work it other people's and my iPad seems fine now

    Hi there glee154!
    I have an article here that can help you troubleshoot this issue with your iPhone. The article is about troubleshooting a multitude of iPhone hardware issues, and can be found right here:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    The specific section you will want to reference can be found here:
    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 LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 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.
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • 7th gen Nano only works when plugged in, turns off when  unplugged... battery is fully charged.

    7th gen Nano only works when plugged into computer, as soon as I unplug it shuts off (it was ejected from iTunes). Battery is fully charged.  Have already done a restore in iTunes and checked for updated software. 

    Hello there, DizDude.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some good recommendations for troubleshooting battery issues with the 7th generation iPod Nano:
    iPod nano (7th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4433
    Particularly this section:
    Battery life appears short
    Learn how to conserve battery life.
    Ensure that the latest software is installed on the iPod.
    When charging, use the cable that came with iPod nano (7th generation) and leave the device connected until it is fully charged.
    Note: If you are charging using your computer, don't connect iPod nano (7th generation) to your keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPod nano (7th generation) is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPod nano (7th generation) battery may drain.
    When you are done using the iPod nano, verify that:
    The Radio application is off (tap the button)
    Music is paused (tap the button in the iPod application or disconnect the earphones)
    There is no active Pedometer session (tap the Stop button in the Fitness application)
    Dimming the screen is another way to extend battery life on iPod nano. Go to Settings > General > Brightness and restore the brightness to the default, or drag the slider to the left to lower the default screen brightness.
    Playing tracks with EQ requires your iPod processor to consume more energy than playing tracks without EQ, because the EQ information is not encoded in the song. To prolong battery life, turn EQ off if you don't use it. Go to Settings > Music > EQ and select Off from the list. Note, however, that if you've added EQ to tracks in iTunes, you'll need to set EQ to Flat to have the effect of Off, because iPod keeps your iTunes settings intact.
    Try restoring iPod nano (7th generation) by connecting it to iTunes and clicking Restore.
    Test the battery life.
    Issue not resolved
    If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Why does my laptop turn itself off when i close the lid?

    i have a HP pavillion dv4 notebook. sometimes when i close the lid and let it go to sleep, and then come back to use it, the computer is off. i get a weird DOS-like black screen with white text when it comes back on asking me if i want to start windows as normal or something like this. has anyone encountered this? does anyone know how to fix it?

    Try resetting the iPod.  Nothing will be lost.

    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    You can also try another cable and usb port.

  • Why does my 1st gen iPad always turns itself off and goes back to the screen. Whether I'm reading news, iBooks, etc, suddenly it goes off.

    Why does my 1st gen iPad always turns itself off and goes back to the screen. Whether I'm reading news, iBooks, etc, suddenly it goes off.

    If that doesn't help, the battery may be dying and need replacement. See here (tap on Battery Replacement): http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad
    Alternately, might consider start saving for a new iPad. The newest iPad 6 should come out in the next few months. When it does, sellers will want to get rid of old inventory with good deals.

  • P20-552 suddenly turns itself off..

    I have a P20-552 (PSP26E-025E9-S4) which is about 18 months old and has recently begun to misbehave.
    In particular, after a few minutes of some processor intense tasks (video file rendering) it suddenly turns itself off. No warnings, beeps, messages - just stops. Very worrying - anybody any idea why? Fortunately the guarantee doesn't run out until 2007.
    One other issue, every few weeks or so I discover that when starting up, the keyboard simply does not work. Mouse is fine as is everything else, as far as I can see. So far a simple reboot has resolved that problem but would this indicate that there is something wrong deep down or is this something we are meant to live with?
    Many thanks in advance for any suggestions and help.
    Brian.

    Hi
    Well, it could be a overheating issue if the unit stops without any messages. The temperature goes high if the CPU works with a high performance.
    In this case the first what I can suggest is to check the cooling vents. Try to clean I with vacuum cleaner.
    Its not easy to say why the keyboard issue occurs. Its strange because after OS rebooting the keyboard works properly. Well, maybe a fresh OS solve the issue. But this is a only a suggestion.
    Regards

  • Samsung Convoy - keeps turning itself off when closed up

    I'm having trouble with the Samsung Convoy turning itself off, when I close it to hang up. Sometimes it does it, sometimes not. If I try to slowly and very gingerly close it, it may not turn off.   Is anyone else having this problem? It's very annoying as I find out my phone has been off and I didn't know it.
    Thanks!

    Hello tdugdell,
    I know it can be a bit frustrating when your device powers off without your knowledge.  Since you do have the most recent software I would first suggest to try a different battery in the device to help confirm if the root cause is device or simply the battery. If you do not have an additional battery we can see if your nearest store has a test battery to try and if not we can see what warranty options you may have.  If the test advises this is not a battery issue I would then suggest completing a factory reset. Click here to follow visuals to do so.  This process will erase everything on the device so please back up if desired.  Click here to for visuals to back up your contacts.  Once the reset is done the device will power cycle and prompt a re-activation by dialing *228 send option 1.  I would like for you to test the device before you add your contacts back via backup assistant if you choose to use the application.  If the test(s) is successful then proceed with adding your contacts and retest after.  Please advise me of the results, per the suggestions above, if you need additional assistance.  Thank you.     

  • Phone freezes and turn itself off when the "Ph. se...

    I got a Nokia n97 mini 2 weeks ago and the phone works great except that sometimes it would turn itself off and when I turn it back on it lags and freezes. I notice every time the phone freezes and turn itself off when the "Ph. setup" in the App menu is running. Is the device updating itself? How can I make it stop? Everything freezes as soon as the Ph. setup starts running. 
    I try waiting it out (if the phone is setting something up it shouldn't take more than a few minutes) but I leave it there for several hours and it's still frozen.
    Thanks for reading -sorry if my English sucks-

    FYI: Siri can only do certain things when locked. It will not do anything that requires the iPhone to be unlocked (without first unlocking the iPhone).

  • Why does iPad suddenly turn off at 40% power and the power bar is almost gone.  Then when I plug it in the power bar goes back up to 40%

    My iPad has suddenly started turning itself off at 40% power as indicated at the top right corner..  The power bar is almost down to nothing (like 1%) when it shows up as it is turning off.  When I plug it in, the power in the top right corner shows 40%. 

    That happened to my sister get a new battery then wait until its full 100% then you can use it again

  • IPad A1460 turns itself off - why?

    My iPad has recently started turning itself off after 10 minutes or so. Is there a known problem as to why?
    I have tried resetting via settings and the double button press but to no avail.

    No I do not. It seems when running any app the RAM goes into overload and turns off the iPad. If there isn't an app running, the problem doesn't occur.

  • E65 Turns itself off when it pleases!

    Hi, my E65 turns itself off apparently as and when it pleases. Sometimes as many as 5 times a day, but on other days not at all. Sometimes it happens when I close it after a call. and other times it goes just when I want to answer a call. Has anybody else had this happen? if so what can I do about it?
    From a business point of view, I need my phone, but if I can't rely on it, I'll go looking elsewhere. Thanks in advance.

    have you tried updating firmware

    If your phone appears to have problems with power, the problem may be with the phone, the battery, or the charger. Before bringing your phone into a Nokia Care point for inspection, please perform the following checks:
    * Fully charge the battery according to the instructions presented in the user guide.
    * Remove and re-insert the battery according to the instructions presented in the user guide.
    * Check that you are using a Nokia battery and charger compatible with your phone model. You can check compatibility from the Battery Compatibility Chart and Charger Compatibility Chart.
    * If you have access to another battery and charger of the same type as yours, try substituting them to determine if the issue is with the phone, the battery, or the charger.
    If you are unable to test your phone or it still keeps switching off, please bring it to the nearest Nokia Care point for inspection. You can find Care point addresses from the drop-down menu to the right
