change your battery!!!!!!!

this is because the battery is too old or damaged!

my friend has the same problem-he bought a new battery,now it works fine again!!!

if it is too new, you must load it about 14hours!!!the phone says it is full, but if you have netmonitor, you will see that the battery is not full!!!

Thats very true, leave your battery in to charge for about 20 hours, if it says full, dont worry, time it for 20 hours, then let it drain all the way down without any charging in between.

Then charge it all the way up again, and the battery should be fully reconditioned.

If the phone still plays up it must be a different hardware problem.

Good luck mate,
Scott
