Mine did that and I had to replace the battery. It was turning itself off randomly at 20%,  40%, or even 60% battery left (not those exact numbers but around there). The battery life had progressively gotten really short a while before it started turning itself off, and I had had to charge it a few times a day. When I took the old battery out, it had a small bulge in it. The phone had also been overheating.

cndnflyer,


Help is here! We don’t want for this trouble to continue, so let’s get this resolved quickly. What make & model phone do you have? When did this issue start to happen? Do you notice if the phone shuts off when you are doing anything in particular? Do you have the most up to date software?

Hi there cndnflyer! Let's get to the bottom of this. When it started happening, what changes were made to the device? Things such as updates or new apps? How often does it do this? Let's try to put the device into safe mode. Press and hold the power button> when the menu with power options comes up, press and hold power off> another window will pop up asking if you want to restart in safe mode> Press yes. Then we want to test the phone while it is in safe mode.
