Hi all,

This happened:

After I picked up my phone in the morning (from charger), it had turned itself of during the night. After using it a while it started rebooting itself. This occures now very often. This happens with a lot of battery % left. Sometimes it restarts, and sometimes it just stops. When it stops I have to put the charger in to restart it, even it the battery seems to be fully charged. Can be an issue when I`m not at home.

I have notised that the battery % varies sometimes. It can co from 4 - 100 % in minutes while connected to the charger (Sony charger)

I have tried this.

- VolumeUP/Home button.

- Red button in Sim slot.

- PCC resetting

The phone was upgraded to Lollipop about one month before this occured. Have been working fine after the upgrade.

Can this be an battery issue?

Perhaps buying a new battery.

Connect the phone to a wall charger > press and hold power & volume up for 10 seconds > let it charge for 2 to 3 hours

Thanks for your reply @uliwooly. Already tried that after reading about similar problems. Didn`t solve it unfortunately.

My warranty period is over, so that will cost me a fortune.

This was my sollution:

Ordered a new battery on Ebay. Installed and my phone is itself again. The strange thing was that the problems that I experienced seemed like a software issue when I read about simmular problems here on the forum. Hopes this can help others as well.
