Why is my phone shutting down when the battery is @ 94% doing anything with it? Is the recent upgrade a chance to get us to buy and Iphone 4?

My I phone 3ga 16gb shuts down when I open any app and surf any webpage unless plugged in to the charger. I have 94% battery and as long as I don't do anything with the phone except answer it when I get a call it will stay on. I recently upgraded it to the 4.3.5 os and was wondering if that is my problem? if it is how do I get it back to an older operating system?

Highly unlikely that 4.3.5 itself is the problem as there would be millions with the same problem... there are not.
Restore your 3GS from your backup.  If still a problem, restore as new, i.e. without your backup.  One of those will most likely solve your problem.  If not, you may have a defective battery.

  • Why did my phone shut down when I started updating software?

    Why did my phone shut down when I started updating software?

    Hi Patraposo,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It is difficult to know why devices behave unexpectedly; however there are several articles on the Support site that can help recover your iPhone if the update did not complete.
    If your iPhone will not turn on, start with the steps in the "Power/Battery" section of this article:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    If you just see the "connect to iTunes" screen, the steps in this article can help:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

    If you see another symptom, feel free to reply with more information.

  • Why did my ipod shut down when it was fuly charged.

    my ipod shut down when it had changed all night.

    I buy a new cd yesterday. I went home to go on my computer hook up my Ipod to put new music on it. I did this all before. Usually went like a piece of cake. When I did it yesterday my Ipod after I put new music on it. My Ipod went not bright out. I didn't see it was okay to disconnected. Usually I did it will be light up. My Ipod was so dark I couldn't see the okay to disconnected. Can someone help why it's acting like that?

  • Iphone 4s shuts down when it battery life gets to about 17%. prior to IOS 7 it would shut down at about 1%. What's up? (Oh, when I plug in recharge, the battery indicates it's at 17% or so. So, I'm not referring to battery drain).

    My iPhone 4s shuts down when battery indicater reaches about 17%. When I recharge, indicater shows about 17%, so apparently this isn't fast battery drain. Oh, this happens since IOS7.

    See if your phone is one that Apple has noted as requiring a replacement battery: https://www.apple.com/support/iphone5-battery/

  • Macbook shuts down when low battery instead of going to sleep

    Hi
    Well basically my laptop shuts itself down instead of going to sleep when my battery gets low. I also do not get the low battery message. My macbook will usually shut down when it gets to approximately 6% of battery life. What should I do?
    Thanks
    Sarah.

    Have you done the battery update? You might also try to reset the SMC and/or PRAM.
    If it doesn't work you may need a new battery. The original core duo batteries have had an extra year added to their warranty so even if your computer is not covered the battery is. My MacBook was doing the same thing except at 28%. Apple replaced my battery and it works fine now.
    If you call Apple be polite but firm some people have had trouble from some of the reps. Mine went smoothly I had a new battery in 3 days.

  • Phone shuts down when deleting photos, please help

    WHen I connect my iphone to the computer, I can get the pictures from the camera roll with no problem. If I choose to delete the photos after transfer, or If I manually select the photos, and then press delete, the phone stops responding, shuts down and restarts without deleting the photos. I can delete them one at a time directly from the camera roll on the phone, but that takes a long time and I simply dont think that deleting them all at once should be a problem. Has anyone else had this problem, that can help me fix it? Apple says that they have never heard of this before, but I cant possibly be the only one with this problem

    I confirm the issue: this did not happen with Firmware 2.1
    iPhone 16G with firmware 2.2.1
    Windows XP Pro SP3 - 3.2GHz 2G RAM
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Plug iPhone into USB port
    2. When the dialog appears accept the use of the Scanning Wizard
    3. Elect to pull all of the photos from the phone, and check the
    "delete when done" box.
    4. Observe that all of the photos are pulled successfully
    5. Then the wizard says "deleting pictures 1 of 455"
    6. There is a pause - obout 20 seconds
    7. The iPhone then reboots with no warning
    and the wizard thinks it has finished: reports no errors.
    I have seen this issue reported elsewhere on Apple forums, so think
    that other people are seeing the issue, too.
    e.g. "Deleting photos using Windows Camera Wizard makes my iPhone reboot"

  • Cq mini shuts down when applying slight pressure to left hand corner, left of the touchpad.

    Compaq Mini CQ10-500EO PC, Windowa 7,
    As topic says. When I lift the computer holding the left hand corner approx. 1 inch in from the left corner the computer shuts down. No error messages, it just loses power and reboots. What can it be?
    //Terry

    Have subsequently worked out that the problem vanishes when the mains power is available, so it is clearly a problem with either the battery or the connection to the battery. Gamble is wether buying a new battery would work or not I suppose.
    Unfortunately he lives in the West Highlands so a computer retailer of any stripe is very difficult

  • Phone shuts down when pairing with bluetooth

    I've had a Samsung Renown for a while and just installed a new hands free device in my car. When I pair the phone with the HFD or pair the HFD with the phone, it connects, then the phone reboots and the connection is lost. Any ideas ?

    I researched your issue with the phone resetting when pairing to your vehicle, and I have some good news!  It appears that there were some problems with pairing via Bluetooth to vehicles using the old software on the device.  You can view your software by going under Settings & Tools> Phone Info> SW / HW Version.  
    The new software is u810.DE01.  If you have any version besides u810.DE01, you will need a software update to fix the issue.  If your current version of software is u810.CE14, you can most likely update to u810.DE01(the new one) over the air. All you need to do is go under Settings & Tools> Phone Info> Software Update> Check New.  You will then be prompted to update the software.
    If this over the phone method does not work and you have u810.CE14 as your current software or you have an older version of software than u810.CE14, please take your phone into a Verizon Wireless Store to have it flashed with the new software.  In the software update notes to the u810.DE01 software, there are very specific details about it resolving issues with pairing with vehicles.  This sounds like an open and shut case of a software update. 
    Locate your nearest Verizon Wireless corporate store by clicking on this link.
    Please update us if it fixes your issue!

  • Phone shuts down when connected to USB

    I'm trying to get my Desktop Manager to work with my phone, but everytime I hook up the USB cable from the computer to the phone, the phone just shuts down.  Not sure if it is supposed to do that but the desktop software says the phone is not connected.  Tried downloading drivers to the computer, and tried looking in Options on the phone for some way to not have it shut down but have come up with nothing.  Please help.

    What the hell?  now i get a "JUM error 102" during the loading screen and my phone wont even start up?  .

  • Why Is Dreamweaver CS4 Shutting Down When Making Changes In Code View?

    Hi,
    When in Code View, and trying to make a change to such, Dreamweaver is automatically shutting down. Heck, I can't even press Enter while in Code View without it shutting down.
    I had this problem before, and a friend suggested holding down the Shift key while restarting DW. It worked at that time, but that suggestion is not working now.
    I've tried restarting the computer, repairing disk permissions, and still having the same problem.
    Does anyone have a remedy for this?
    Thank you.

    Yes, I am on a Mac.
    The application Dreamweaver quit unexpectedly.
    Don't have any DW extensions.
    Deleted the plist files, and still had the same problem.
    Found another DW pref file. Deleted that, and it works.

  • Phone shuts down when i want to snap

    My bold 4 goes off when I ever I want to snap picture and will not come up with power button unless when charger is plugged. Please what should I do.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
    If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
    But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.

  • Computer Shuts down when on battery power at 80%

    The battery power indicates anywhere from 80% to 90% and will shut down the computer.
    No warning, No Low Battery indicator, No error messages.
    The only way to boot up is to use the power adapter.
    I have tried to reset the computer
    I have tried to update the latest battery update, but it tells me it is already installed.
    This computer is 8 months old.
    Is there anything else I can try?

    I had/have this exact same problem after I installed the battery update 1.3 on Macbook Pro a few days ago.
    I tried a SMC reset & a PRAM reset, all to no avail.
    I called Apple today & talked with 2 different agents explaining my problem. One askked me to do another PRAM reset, which I did, again, to no success.
    So, they are sending me a new battery, which I am really hoping will solve my problem (Macbook Pro shutting down instantly on an almost full battery at around 84% while not attached to the power cord).
    Thing is, I never had a problem with the battery before I installed this update, so this battery update 1.3 somehow corrupted my battery/settings, and unfortunetly once you run this update, your stuck.
    There is no way to undo this update as it changes the firmware permanetly.
    Ugh.
    Next time, I am not going to be so quick when installing "updates", I apparently really don't need. This battery update 1.3 has just caused me headaches & problems on my new Macbook pro.
    Heed my advice. Research firmware updates carefully before subjecting your computer to these unneeded "fixes".
    My advice is to call Apple & let them know of this problem. Get a new battery. They were apparently unware of this problem update when I called today, and more people need to be vocal about this & complain about this apparently corrupt battery update.
    Good Luck.

  • MBP shutting down when on battery

    Hi all!
    I've got a problem with my one-year-old MacBook Pro: each time (and I mean EACH time) I run it on the battery, it simply shuts down after a while, even when the battery icon/indicator in the toolbar says I've got 70% left.
    One quick look in the Battery settings shows that I've already gone through 74 cycles of charge/discharge (by last count), so I'm far from the 500 they say a battery can reasonnably sustain before replacement. The current (guffaw, guffaw) battery is the one I got from Apple last summer when it became clear they'd used a bad batch, the previous winter. It's been working alright for almost ten months, then boom!, it's started acting out again. Should I put in for a new replacement (I took the 3-year warranty), could the last update related to battery life have some unwanted effect on mine, or is there some other way to solve it?
    Also, I don't hear the fan(s) in my MacBook Pro at all, but it was running hot from the start, so I finally bought a fancy little tablet with three fans embedded in it, and now the temp is normal; said "tablet" is USB-powered, but when my battery problems started again, every time, the tablet was off.
    So...?
    MBP Core Duo 1,83GHz 15"   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Welcome to the forums!
    The symptoms you describe are consistent with premature failure of your battery. Apple states the symptom as "Battery exhibits low charge capacity/runtime when using a fully charged battery with a battery cycle count (as shown in System Profiler) of less than 300." (Copied from this page, which DigitalDude kindly linked to above.)
    I think Ned is incorrect about them replacing your battery for 2 reasons: 1) you say have the 3 year applecare plan, and 2) Apple extended the warranty coverage to 2 years from date of purchase for all Core Duo machines (this is separate from the battery exchange program). The warranty extension for Core Duo machines is stated near the bottom of the page linked above.
    Call AppleCare - they should replace your battery.
    Hope this helps...

  • Mba shuts down when on battery

    My Mac Book Air 13", Mid-2011, had Lion 10.7.5 installed
    Then a few days ago I start seeing message that looked at first as virus, teling me I should shut down the machine.
    I shutdown and restart. This kept repeating.
    So I did a clean install of Lion Mountain 10.8.2. and then restored from my TimeMachine (no applications).
    Then the problem started repeating. This time with no message. Just randomly shuts down.
    So I reinstaled 10.8.2, and this time scanned for viruses before I restored anything back from the TM (I use Sophos AntiVirus)
    It works now.
    But when I disconnect the power cable, even though I see 98% full battery,
    the machine shuts down immediately.
    Any advise ?
