iphone keeps turning itself on!

[upsyndrome]

It's happened 3 times in the past 2 weeks, my iphone keeps repeatedly turning itself on after i turn it off, It also keeps randomly saying "this device is not made for iphone" even though there aren't any accessories plugged into it. Does anyone have this problem, or has anyone ever heard of something like this? I haven't got my phone wet, or dropped it at all. I'm hoping apple will replace my phone, what do you guys think?

p.s. my phone also has a pixel that is always stuck blue, so you guys think they will replace it?

I had the opposite happen to me, it would turn off randomly at night and my alarm would not go off because of it. After about 15 restores, it went away.

Maybe try a restore?

I restored twice and updated the phone to the newest version, and it still does it. I have an appointment with the geniusbar on wed. i hope they can help me out.

I had this same problem with a certain female companion. One time she...oh sorry wrong forum.

I have seen it randomly turn on from time to time. I theorize that it's the email program crashing (or perhaps the web browser). No way to tell, since turning it on restarts the program.

I think once I saw the "device not made for iphone" message, when it was docked. It came up for a second, then went away.

Haha Sobe, thats awesome!

Ya, my "device not made for iphone" message comes up for only a second as well, it comes on around every 10 seconds , so it kills my battery throughout the day

I'm getting this too, but only after the update.

It's ****ing annoying.

happened only once, with the "device-yada-yada" and once where it shut itself off and came right back on without me doing anything; I started heading for the Apple Store, but no further incidents to date. :cool:

this seems to be an issue with a wirless device trying to interfae with your iPhone that was not intended to do so. Based on the error. Perhaps a wireless mac keyboard.

Went to the Apple Store last night for several issues, but the repetitive error message "This device not made for iPhone..." seems to stem from the dual dock that I have for my iPhone and BT (at least for me) but I wasn't able to duplicate the message. They ended up exchanging my BT iPhone Headset and dual charging dock. No charge. Haven't seen the message since, but it's been only 15 hours. :cool:

Nice for you.
But, you're missing one thing that distances mine and upsyndrome's problem from yours - the iPhone is turning itself on after turning it off and the battery draining quickly.
Also, neither me or upsyndrome is using any accessories plugged into it.

[4DThinker]

It's caused by the ghost of one of the early iPhone development team. He passed away from stress due to long nights and the constant fear of Steve Jobs. His last words were "Curse you, iPHONE!", and he does. ;)

I see your point, but I did have my iPhone shutdown on it's own (one time) and the BT was drained as well, yep, it is different from your situation. Sorry. :(

I've solved the problem!

Here is how, step by step:

1. Connect your iPhone to the Dock
2. Turn it off while plugged in the Dock
3. Leave it turned off while charging
4. After charging, turn it on while the iPhone is still plugged in the Dock
5. Disconnect your iPhone from the Dock

This worked for me. I hope the problem will not come back.
Try and please inform if it worked for you.

:cool:

I just tried what you said to do I hope it works because that turning on and off thing and giving me the "its not made for this device" message is reaaaaally getting old. I hope your right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
