My iPhone Won't Stay Turned Off?

Whenever I turn off my phone at night, I make sure it turns completely off, but when I wake up, it turns out to be on!

This is a problem I've been having with my iPhone 4.It happens with many iPhones.
Go to your settings > General > Accessibility > Then scroll down to Assistive Touch > Turn on > Then on your screen will be a black box with a white circle in it, this will stay on your screen every time your phone is on. If you're having trouble with your phone and want to turn it off, press the box > Press device > and then press Lock Screen

Are you charging your iPhone after turning it off? Plugging it in after turning if off will turn it on. You can turn it off after plugging it in and it won't turn on again.

If you aren't doing this, then I don't know why you are having this problem.

I'm having the same exact issue. I have absolutely no idea why this is happening. I turn it off, it stays off for a second, maybe two then turns right back on. I have no idea why this started or when. It's a relatively new phone, and I'm on the verge of sending this thing to a voodoo priestess! If for no other reason then to show my support for the local economy.

  • Why won't my iPhone 4S stay off? I try to turn my iPhone 4S off and it just starts back up and won't turn off, is there a reason why it's like this? It pretty much just restarts.
  • My iphone won't stay turned off unless its plugged into the wall? I shut my phone off, but as soon as it turns off it comes back on. But then i plugged it into the charger and it stays off. I then unplugged it and it came back on. What the hell is going on and how do i fix it?!
  • My iPhone turned off by itself and turned back on while using a app? When I was on YouTube my phone just shutted off by itself then turned on. Is there something wrong with the phone. Also when I click my home button one time the phone sometimes wouldnt come on till the second click. What can I do?
  • My iPhone turned off and won't turn back on? I set my phone down while i was on the computer, didn't use it for like 15 minutes, and when i looked at it the screen was black and it shut off. It was on like 80% battery so it didn't die. I tried plugging it in to the charger to see if i could get it to turn back on but it will not turn on. I don't know what happened!
