Why is my iphone 4s turning off with battery power still left

I noticed my first iPhone 4s shutting off with 20% battery power left, 30% then 40% and not being able to turn it back on until I put it on a charger. After it was turned on it showed 20%, 30% and 40% battery power. I sent that one in and they sent me a new one. Now two weeks later, paying closer attention with the new one, it has started that process all over again at 10% battery power. Is there anything I can do to fix this or do I just send it in and get a new one? Hoping this doesn't happen again!!!

I have exactly the same problem with my iphone 4 (6.1.2). Try this : Restart,reset,restore from backup, and then restore as new. Didnt work for me.

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.

HT4528 why did my iPhone randomly turn off

This week my iphone 4s turned off twice and i dont know why ? can anybody help me?

Of course we can't. You've given us absolutely no information.

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 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.

IPhone turns off with battery left

Since updating to iOS7 my iphone 5 turns itself off when the battery gets 20%. What's this all about?

Try Reset, see if better. If not, try Restore, see if better. If not, then battery is most likely faulty, make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

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?

My iPhone 4s turns off after battery gets below 40% and sometimes when I take a photo,it shows the photo in the photo album but will display a white screen when i tap on the photo. Please help thank you :)

My Iphone 4s is 2 years and 3 months old. the battery drains very quickly, sometimes turning off once it reaches 40% if I open an app or say the camera.
I charge it more than twice a day now as the battery life is so poor.
Also, when I take a photo, the phot sometimes shows in the album, but if I click on it, it shows up as a white screen and I cannot send the photo either as the recipient gets a blank screen.
I am not super flash with technology, so please be nice!
Thank you

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue persists, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

IPhone shuts automatically off with battery over 10%

Hi
My iPhone shutted automatically off today with a battery of 12%. I only could start it again by recharging. It's the second time in two weeks that happened, the first time with iOS 5.1.1, now with iOS 6.
Otherwise I don't have any problems with my iPhone 4S and the battery, depending on the usage I can use it +/- one day and it shuts off by 1-4%.
Do you know if there is a problem with the battery or can it happen sometimes by software error? It's very bad when I coun't that I'm attainable for a few more hours (iPhone on stand-by) and then it shuts off very early.
Thank you
P.S. There was no problem with the cold, it happened in heated rooms.

First step is a reset:
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Ipad 2 turned off with 18% power left, won't come back on

Our Ipad 2 turned off last week with 18% power left. To help narrow the solution down, I will try my best to give you the various things we have tried to get it back up. First, Itunes will not show the device unless you put it into DFU mode. It has been put into DFU mode a couple times now to get itunes to recognize the device. It pops up that we have a device in recovery mode and when we go to restore it pops up that an unexpected problem has occured ( 1602). I have tried on a couple different computers ,different ports, and different USB cables with no luck. It will get to verifying restore with apple but then the error pops up. I have tried to uninstall then reinstall itunes both with the cables still attached and unattached. Itunes still won't show the device until you DFU it. I did notice that the apple is supposed to show up on the screen and it does not. Even the router was reset in hopes that this could possibly be the issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

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 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.
