I consider myself somewhat experienced with iPhones, and have learned allot over the years just trolling and reading sites like Mac Rumors. This is one of my favorite sites 🙂 However, this one problem is the first that has me stumped. Brand new iP4 and after a few days of no issues whatsoever, the phone started shutting off after it auto locks or sleeps. It will only restart if I perform a hard reset (Power and home button for 10 secs). Needless to say this is annoying. I have searched many sites such as Mac Rumors and can't seem to find an answer outside of having it replaced under warranty. Issue with that is that is I am currently in a war zone without an Apple Store within 10,000 miles 🙁 Will not be back in the states until the middle of Sept.
I am hoping someone else with the same issue has found a resolution that they can share.
I have already performed a restore, and set it up as a new phone with just the basic iOS running. No additional apps, music, pics, contacts, or any other data has been installed. After restore I have even performed a hard reset and a settings reset for good measures. Still have the same problem.
Is there anyone else out here in iPhone land who can help?
Update: I read somewhere that a battery calibration may help. I have now drained it down to where it shut off on its own and am recharging it. I doubt this is the answer, but it can't hurt to try!
Update 2: The above effort failed to help me 🙁
