I have an Iphone 4s that does not shut off if its not being charged. If I select power off, it goes through the shut down, screen blanks for about 2 seconds, then turns right back on. No problems shutting it down with it being charged though. Any ideas? Thanks
Got a tip for us?

Iphone 4s won't shut off

EXACT same thing here. Started last week and it seems my battery which has been perfect for five months has, at the same time, been extremely poor. Lost 80% of my battery from 9am til 2pm and all I'd done was a bit of browsing.
Hey guys,
I've seen this happen a couple times. My company deals with iPhones. The solution has always been taking it back to Apple, and some sort of software/motherboard problem. Only they can fix it (which will not be a fix, but rather a new or refurbed phone).
Now, granted, I could be wrong, and it could be some app going crazy or some piece of hardware preventing shutdown. But I'd say Apple needs to see that phone. Hope that helps!

Yeah, done soft reset, software update, restore, etc. Apple Store have said give it two weeks then book another appointment. He pretty much said if it's still the same, he'll have to change the phone. Go and book in an appt.
Thanks for the help. Tried a full factory restore and no help. Have a Genius appt sunday at 2. Will they be able to determine what needs done (new phone) at this appt. or will I have to go back more than once. It's over an hour drive from my house to nearest apple store so I'm hoping this is a one time trip.
Thanks for your responses

That weird, my battery has been poorer since last week too. It dies in the early afternoon and I haven't been on my phone as much due to studying so something else is killing it
Yes, confirmed. Faulty dock connector.
About £3 off eBay and 15 minutes work and all will be good.
