iPhone randomly restarts!?!

My 5S hasn't done this in the week I've owned it, hasn't happened to my room mates 5S either and he's had it since Sept 20.
Wonder if it's an iOS7 issue or an issue with certain phones?
Wonder if it's an iOS7 issue or an issue with certain phones?
since updating to ios7,it happens occasionally,definitely to do with the new iOS.friends have had the same problem since the update.also i might be working in an app or something and it puts me back on the home screen.
Mine started doing it every time I used an iWork app. Since they have been updated it has stopped and works fine. Not had it happen since.
So having parallax and more animations actually made things more stable somehow?
I have a non jailbroken iphone 4s 16G
Just out of warranty.
Restarts like crazy, but occasionally is stable
I'm a newbie here but is anyone keeping an organized record of issues?
I'm an electrical engineer, not software or ITS but there seems to be some recurring themes I'm noticing
I can give lists of Plist codes, things I've tried etc...
I currently have a nude device setup from scratch, no apps etc etc
The thing that keeps jumping to the front of my mind is that there are some aspects which to me look like a hardware fault, but I suspect it could be as a result of the ios7 update.
Consider this information and fill in the gaps oh tech guru's.
The new ios requires a ton more resource.... correct?
therefore the current drain on the battery will be very high... correct?
P=Ie2.R = Heat...Thats I squared R losses (I cant find the symbols in this editor)
There have been numerous reports of devices getting very hot, heat and electronics do not mix ....correct?
Also the funny thing about electronic components is that despite what many people think they are all a little different, fundamentally they are a grown crystal with some impurities introduced... Correct?
Also damage to a component whether due to ESD or heat can produce a sliding scale of effects, damage can be catastrophic, latent or intermittent....Correct?
So the number of variables on just how much heat/current a particular component was hammered with would be huge, based on usage, ambient temperature etc etc
But the damage would be cumulative IMO.
It might even be something as simple as a connection, dry joint or similar.
I have a suspicion that its something to do with the charging and voltage regulation section of the power supply.... I say this as during the few periods of stable operation my battery charge was completely unchanging, 86% for a full day.
I did a hard restart on the device and it showed 2%.
If the processor thinks that there is no juice in the battery it will shut its self down right? It stops servicing the processes, battery demand drops, voltage rises... oh I can start again now!
it continues to flip flop in a crazy way, heating cooling etc etc, further stressing the device.
Any way thats my random thoughts on the subject..
Pick it to bits, shoot me down... I just want to know what the hell has shagged up my phone
Just out of warranty.

Ok some info that may be of help...
Panic.plist= is typically considered Hardware fault, its actually a "kernel panic" which I think means its a non recoverable error (bad mojo) this is where most people say pull the plug and take it back to the shop.
However, I'm a little more persistent..
I want to know which part is stuffed!
I downloaded the console utility and looked at what was happening...

Once you start to research about this specific region of the phone you will find a whole pile of info, this appears to be a major point of weakness for these puppies. people have had the connection pads pretty much fall apart or fail in any number of ways.
The Batteries have 4 pinouts, +,- one for temp and one for "gas gauge"
I'm guessing that the gas Gauge will detect a rupture.
This would explain why its having issues.
so I'm guessing its either the battery or the connection points, either way its not beyond repair for those who have access to the right gear, or willing to point a repair dude in the right place.
anyway I'm going to try and get a replacement from my supplier, I'm a business customer so I am hoping for a tiny bit of leverage.
But if that fails I'll get the battery replaced and see how it goes.
I wont promise to let you know how I got on, but assume no news is good news.
I hope this helps someone in the future.
Peace Out

That's called a crash when it restarts it happens a lot with iPhone 5s just get the newest software when ever you can and hope apple fixed it. The blue screen is the same thing except its got a cooler name... Blue screen of death. No need for new phone just new software.
Ok I got off my butt and can confirm, replacing battery appears to have sorted my issue.
No battery warnings on Console, No restarts, Charge indication working.
Yay!
So Panic.plist
Crash Reporter Key (I hope this is error code)
0bc058bd48170e3578ac84db4f4391f024674cd
That is one funky large hex address
Hope this helps someone.
Conclusion
if Iphone 4s Restarts, no accurate battery % info, Panic.plist, Console report as per earlier post.
Its a battery issue most likely
Then if you are out of warranty, or just want it going now...replace the battery.
Oh and credit to the dude on youtube who posted this fix for iphoner5 restarting problems (panic.plist solution)
no link sorry but google it

On my 5c non of this has been happening and I'm on ios 7. Must be a weird glitch or something
Problem has never occurred once since the 7.1 update few months back....
I'm guessing it was a glitch specific to the 64 bit os on the 5S
This happened on my 5C back in August of this year. I reset it as a new phone and was having no problems until just a few minutes ago, when it rebooted itself again. I have IOS 7 on both my iPhone and iPad 4 and have not had the rebooting issue on my iPad, just on my iPhone.
iPhone 4S restarts randomly and power switch fix
Yeah Mercenary and Applefan360 had it right at least that's what I did and it was the simplest and cheapest way to go. Unfortunately for me I forgot my setting password but I took a good guess at it and got in to reset my setting. This fixed my problem immediately and my performance picked up as well. I would have a iPhone 5S or 6 by now but I didn't jump on the deal when Apple had the offer going when the 6 and 6 plus came out... waiting for the next deal.
Oh yeah.. . I'm running iOS 8.2
Also if any of you are having problems with the power switch at the top off the iPhone use the Accessibility - Assistive Touch tool in Settings instead of having the switch repaired which probably no longer works. This will save you another $300 at the
store because there are some 30 plus steps to fix it which takes the iPhone completely apart.
