Hi guys, Since monday or so my phone turns off after putting it in my pocket, got no battery issues since I replaced it last year, I also reset it quite recently. The phone shuts off ONLY when I place it there, it just works perfectly otherwise. It’s pretty annoying, what could it be?
This is certainly odd… A little bit more information might be helpful. When you say “shuts off”, do you mean you have to power it back on via holding the power button for a few seconds and it does a full boot? What kind of pocket; a front or back pocket that is tight, or a loose pocket like a jacket? Does it happen in any pocket regardless of clothes or fabric? I’m stretching here but the only two explanations I can think of are flexing (tight pockets) or some kind of static. Also, regarding your battery, don’t assume it’s alright just because you changed it. Run a diagnostic with a battery utility, such as coconutBattery (for Mac) or 3uTools (for Windows). It will tell you what the health of the battery is. Anything less than 70% of design capacity will require replacement. Get back to the forum with more details…
I’ve got the same problem Phone stays on & works fine. But as soon as I put it into my pockets it switches off. Sometimes it takes a while before I can get it to come on again. Really annoying
I have the same issue on iPhone SE and unfortunately my off button is broken so I need to plug it in every time it shuts off from being placed in my pocket. So weird.
Mine does same thing I thought I was crazy! Powered off after putting in back pocket doe a few minutes. I have to use power cord or wireless charger to resuscitate. Won’t come back with simply holding button
same problem here with iphone xr, anyone got a fix?
