IPhone 4s shuts off with high battery

Update on my side: I did a full restore twice and set up as a new phone without restoring backup. Somehow my phone lasted until 1% for the past week or so.

Yep! I'm on my 3rd iphone 4s and it still does the same thing. I've basically given up as Apple doesn't have a clue and frankly doesn't seem to care anymore about helping me either. I've done every type of restore imaginable, set up a completely new itunes account, used a new charger....nothing, same problem! I got so fed up with it, I took it back to Verizon and asked for a new RAZR phone and all they said is "Sorry, your warranty only covers a new iphone!" So bascially, I'm stuck with a phone that will begin shutting off at a high battery percentage and I have to let it stay shut off about an hour and then recharge it to a full 100%. I basically have to repeat this process every 4-5 days. And now something funny is going on with Siri. Every single time I use Siri, she tells me she can't help me right now...on the first request. I will then immediately ask her again and about 50% of the time she will process my request. Usually good to go by the third request. Anyone else experiencing problems with Siri?...... Thanks Apple....Great product!!!

I have exactly the same issue. I have gone through 4 brand new 4s phones and am now being sent out a 4 just to see if that makes any difference. If anyone gets their issue resolved please post!

Will definately try that. Have done the reset before when it died but didn't try it twice and haven't left it on the charger for that long. Sure hope it works! Thanks SO much for the info!!

One question about this before I attempt it... when you say did the reset -- did you just do that twice or were you hooking up to iTunes and putting the phone in DFU mode? Just want to make sure I get the steps exactly right. i would love to get this fixed!

Hmmm... just got my 5th phone today -- I give it a week before it starts happening again. I am convinced it is an account thing though. I have tried a different Apple ID, resetting, setting up as new phone, etc. so I am thinking maybe a Verizon account thing??? Not everyone in their posts that I have read have mentioned their provider but the ones that have said it was Verizon. Hopefully we will get it figured out sometime soon. I even thought if I could find a 3rd party app that would tell what the battery percentage was it would help. But all the apps I have tried just tell me the same percentage that shows in the upper right which is not correct. If you figure anything out please let me know. Thanks!

Well shoot. So much for that theory... There is a tower right across the street from me so my signal is really strong. I was told that if it happens again on my new phone (I give it a week) then I need to bring the phone back into Verizon and they will call Apple. If they tell me something that fixes it I will be sure to post it here. Thanks!
