Hi all,

in the last few weeks my 3g has been doing some strange and random switchoff's.
example i went bowling the other day for a work function, checked my email between rounds and it was working fine, put it back in my jacket and had my turn.
went back to it only minutes later to reply to an email and it was switched off...
turn the power button on, it boots and works fine again
HOWEVER, it has lost its time/date settings.I dont know what other settings it has lost but im sure there is something.

I was running 3.1.3, upgraded to 4 and still having the issue
I also JB'd it thismorning but no change (didnt really expect any)

its happening about 3-4 times a day even when the phone is just left sitting on my desk.
It never happens when the phone is on the charger/plugged into computer.

im suspecting its a forked battery maybe? are ther any tests i can do?

ive had it since the very first day the 3g was released (was 11th in the line at midnight to get it here in NZ)

planning on replacing it with a 4g when they are released here but i would like to fix it first as im going to be using it as a workphone
