Wow that was DRIVING ME CRAZY --- You heard me right --- the iPhone would turn off itself without ANY SIGNs and the final result is that the alarm you set won't go off.

I missed so many important things this morning just because of this god damn alarm! Why would it turn off?! The battery is okay!

This is the second time. I don't know if it's reliable anymore.
Please advise, thanks...
 
I can report this has happened to me as well...And my phone is very plentifully hacked. Sometimes, hitting the home button or sleep/wake button won't even turn it on after it does this...I have to do a hard reset to get it working again.
 
Yep, I think this is only happening with people who hack the phone...pinpointing which app it is would be good...I would bet that it is either summerboard or customize
 
And this thread is the perfect example of why the lockdown of the iPhone is a great CS move.

You can debate the merits of hacks all you like, but from a purely customer/technical support point of view, why on earth would any company want to deal with this?
 
BUT I DIDN'T HACK MY PHONE.

I wouldn't blame apple if I hacked, but I DIDN'T!
 
So, you have no installed third-party applications and you are not using an unlocked phone, right? I'd say take it in to your nearest Apple store and get it looked at.

Absolute. No 3rd party apps, no unlocked, nothing *ever*.

But the thing is it shuts it down *randomly*. I don't know what happens if I take it to an apple store and nothing happens (very likely, because I've been using it for 2 months and this is the 2nd time it shuts down, and the first time is several days ago while I was still using firmware 1.0.2).

Any clues?

But he hasnt hacked his phone whatsoever;)
 
to the poster, bring your phone to an apple store or send it to apple care, you are probably gonna get a replacement

to Sobe, i agree with you and i do not at the same time...does the phone just run better when the phone is left alone? absoloutly...but i think people are more annoyed about having such a powerful device and it being limited. i am not going to turn this into another "boycot 1.1.1" thread...just saying there are pros and cons...i experienced a few cons such as the OP's issue so i am now in the 1.1.1 club
 
I don't have a hacked phone and mine will completely freak the f out every couple weeks or so. Phone will ring, I go to answer it and the phone will turn off. Click the home button to get the screen back up and it's black with just the menu bar. Sometimes the slide to unlock is there but the slide doesn't work. Hard reset and it's good to go.
