IPhone 4 :: Reboots / Shuts Down Even When Plugged In
Sep 10, 2014
Here are the specs: iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.4, 16gb, GSMÂ
I've never had any big problems with this phone while using it, but today it randomly shut down, so I thought it might be a battery information glitch, because it has happened with a different iPhone of mine. So, I connected my phone to electricity, it turned on and stayed like that for a while (I had fully charged the phone a few hours ago) and it showed 94% of battery left, which is quite normal. The odd thing was, that it was searching for carrier and it was impossible to turn wi-fi on, the button was not responding.
So I went ahead and rebooted the phone, still had the same issue. While still connected to the charger, the phone suddenly died again, showed low battery and turned on again. After a minute or two, the same thing happened again and after another reboot - again, again and again. I tried to reset the settings, still no carrier and still rebooting, even while charging. I tried completely erasing data and settings, but it was impossible to do that, because it asks for the iCloud password. Since it cannot be connected to the internet, there is no way for me to do that. When unplugging the phone, it dies in the same second. Next, I tried connecting the phone to my computer, but I can't even get it to turn on for a minute, because it reboots all the time after a few seconds (doesn't get enough power through the usb, I guess). Tried DFU mode, still no success. While connected to the computer, iTunes won't show the device connected to the computer.Â
So, there is no way to update the OS through the phone, because there is no way I can connect it to the web, resetting the settings won't do a thing, completely erasing the phone is impossible, because it cannot be connected to the internet, impossible to connect to a computer, because it reboots all the time, so no way to restore the phone.

So I recently upgraded to 4.5.91.MB860 and I did not have this problem until now. As soon as I plug in my Atrix to my PC or even unplug from USB, my phone shuts down, then restarts itself. I don't like losing my saved browser settings every time I want to plug in to USB.

I got my phone last May shortly after they came out. For the most part I havent had any issues at all with it. I use it to tether my laptop and until the last update it worked flawlessly when I connected a USB cable to it. Didnt matter whether I was charging or thethering it worked without a hitch. Once the recent update came out everytime I plug a USB into it the phone tells me the cable was attached and then reboots. Sometimes when i remove the cable it reboots.
I never had 1 issue at all till the recent update. Ive tried differant cables and differant computers. Never happens when i plug the charger into it only when attached to a computer. Ive read another thread on this topic and seemed to be brushed off by the folks here at Motorola. Im not saying your software is crap or your phones. Im saying there is a valid issue that needs to be addressed. Its not my phone hardware. Ive used it for months without 1 single issue and couldnt be happier with it. Something happened in that update. maybe not on everyones phone but its happened on some peoples phones. If not then it wouldnt be a reoccuring issue with several people. If 100 people experience and issue or even only 50 then its an issue. I really dont care to spend 100 dollars to get this phone replaced. I guarantee if it comes to that ill go with an Iphone.

I have a BB bold 9780 since 2 years. Since 3 months my BB shutdowns without reason, and sometimes when it reboots the trackpad doesn't work. So I have to reboot (remove battery) until the trackpad reworks.

Occurred 3rd time in last 2 months(well spread incidents) - Photon just starts rebooting continously on its own (shuts down - loads back to the startup screens - connects to sprint - shuts down again..... loop continues non stop). During the restarts if it is un-noticed for a while the phone gets very hot. The only way to stop is to pull the battery out, after which it starts fine.Not sure what the issue is. Any thoughts? Would not prefer to do a factory reset as there is no observed pattern, all three incidents were when phone was not being used and was in the pocket. No extra apps are running generally whenever I check through the task manager - I cannot check while the phone is rebooting though.

This just started happening on Saturday night. I would press the red phone button to turn off my phone and within 15-25 seconds my phone reboots itself. I have the Bold 9650 OS 5.0.0.699. Also on Sunday afternoon I dialed *228 (Verizon) to update my roaming capabilities.it was successful and after about 30 seconds by phone rebooted itself. Yes, I have done a battery pull.

My iphone 4s has been shutting off at 49% lately. As it is shutting down, the battery percentage changes and shows 1%. When I plug it back in and turn it on it then shows 49% again. Why would my percentages be wrong or it be shutting off at 49%?

My iPhone 3GS shuts down randomly everyday during use. Plenty of battery (more than 50% at the lowest). It just goes black. And there is a strange vertical banding in the black dead screen. Restarting begins working, apple logo appears, but after a long wait it just quits again and goes black. Again, there is plenty of battery charge, this can happen on a full charge. Have tried hard-restarting by pressing power and home with the same result. Only when I have plugged it into a power source does it boot. It can then be disconnected immediately and used for hours, or until it crashes again.
This often happens with angry birds (any version) but that's just because I play it too much, it can also happen using apple apps like mail

I purchased a new 16gb AT&T iPhone4s a few days ago and today when I went to use my phone I noticed it had turned off by itself. The only way I was able to power it back on was to hold the home and power buttons at the same time. I did a lot of research on the problem and saw that if the Diagnostics had a panic.plist that there are hardware errors or failures involved.
So I looked at my diagnostics and can confirm there are two logs with the panic.plist header. panic(cpu 0 caller 0x8007617c):lck_mtx)lock():mutex (0x9B5A2820): 0x000080000. The phone came preinstalled with OS 5.1.
So I am here to ask if this is a case where I have no choice but to replace my phone... From everything I've read it seems to be the case, but I've only had the phone for a few days and would be really upset if this were the case. I gave Apple a call and they said to basically not worry about it unless it happens again... but after doing the research it has just got me more worried.

My iPhone 4s randomly turns itself off during calls, text, and emails. It has never been dropped, gotten wet, or been exposed to extreme heat or cold, so I can't understand why all of a sudden this is happening. I bought it in October 2011, so it's not even a year old yet.

This problem has been gradually worsening. Happens often when using Maps, but at times with most any app. At first it was only occurring when battery was below 15%. Now it will occur even at 70%. Putting it on a charger fixes this immediately, no matter what battery life is indicating. Reset doesn't help.

My iPhone 3GS randomly shuts down for no reason, and apparently I am not the only person having a problem with this. This happens regardless of how much battery life my phone shows, or whichever application I am using. I understand that cell phones are not built to last forever, but my phone is in to good of a condition to go out and purchase a new one.

I've had my iPhone 3GS since Feb. of 2010. The same phone since Feb. 2010 with no problems. I noticed my phone started shutting off around 20% in December. I didn't think of it as a big problem. Then it got worse and started shutting off around 35% in mid-January 2012. Then it started shutting off at 50% around early March. Now it's June 2012 and it's basically shutting off around 70-80%. Sometimes it shuts off around 87% when I try to play a phone game. It's gotten to the point where I can't use my phone outside at all because it'll just shut off. I've tried restoring the phone and that doesn't work. I've tried "X-ing" out comments I don't use. I've known other people with this problem who've tried restoring to factory settings and that didn't work. I don't want to waste my upgrade on the iPhone 4S when the iPhone 5 is coming soon. I don't know what to do.
Is there a battery replacement that I can get? I don't have money to cough up for another phone. I don't want to waste my contract upgrade for another phone. I want to wait until the iPhone 5 to upgrade. And I'm out of warranty now so Apple probably won't replace my phone.

I cannot open it unless I charge it (even if it has 80% battery). The big problem: while it is shut down, people can call me, and I never see it (the phone doesn't ring, and after openning it I see no missed calls. It even happened to me not to ever receive messages sent while the iphone was dead.I have firstly tried to change my battery. The I tried to reboot (press and hold Lock&Home buttons), then I tried to reset it (to factory settings) from the iTunes. It did not help. Can anybody give me a hint about what else should I try?

I have noticed that my iphone randomly shuts off. It does not do it while I'm using it, but I can let it sit and go to use it and notice it has turned off. The only way I am able to turn it back on is by holding the home and lock buttons to perform a hard restart. This happens multiple times a day.

iPhone 5 16GB running iOS 7.1.1
As mentioned in the title, phone shuts down by itself, edges of screen flicker upon restart. Basically renders phone useless because it shuts back down within minutes/seconds of restart!
It shuts down at any and all battery levels, but seems to be more prevalent when battery is lower than 60% or 70%.
However, everything's ok when charging! BUT it charges extremely slowly, like less than 5% in an hour w/o any use.
Everything seems ok in the morning after a night of charging too, but starts shutting itself down by midday.
Erased all content and settings once, but problem persists. I suspect its the battery?

My iPhone charge only lasts half day generally and shuts down at anywhere between 30% and 10% charge. I have contacted apple and my battery is not part of the recall and they did a diagnostics report from the phone and say its fine.
I can't upgrade for 12mths due to contract but don't think i can keep putting up with this.

I'm not sure if this started happening after I updated it to iOS 5.1,but when I'm listening to music on my iPhone4, it will just shut off out of the blue. I know it does that when you are receiving a call, but it does it for no reason.
