I have an iPhone 4 (iOS5) that is thirteen months old and has been working flawlessly since I got it. Every evening, I close all the open apps and insert it into my iHome clock radio to charge and for my alarm set.
This morning, for the first time, the phone shutdown completely in the middle of a phone call that was connected with my vehicle through a Bluetooth connection. I pulled over and checked it out, but neither button would activate it. Finally, I held both buttons in for 10 seconds and the familiar Apple icon appeared and the phone slowly "regained consciousness" and seemed to be fine. I used it the rest of the day without a problem, until about 30 minutes ago, when I attempted to place a call, again through my vehicle's Bluetooth dialer and once again, the phone shut down completely. And, again, I had to do a "full restart" to get it to work again. This has never happened before. Moreover, the battery has never been run down completely; the lowest level being somewhere around 20% charge remaining.
Any ideas or thoughts?
Thank you.
