Help My Galaxy S keeps turning itself off!

[davido-23]

Hi!

I'm new to the "Smartphone", a couple of months ago I got a brand new Samsung Galaxy S 8gb phone and I really like it... but recently I ahve noticed that in the morning it has turned itself off... so I thought the battery had run out... as it wouldn't turn back on. The only way to get it going is to take the battery out! and when I put it back in it showed to be at 71%. This has happened a few times.

Have I got a dodgy phone or do I have some setting wrong?

Please can you help as this was quite expensive!!

Thanks.

Which version do you have? 2.2.3 or 2.3.3?

It came with Gingerbread.xxjvo pre-installed... It says 2.3.3 in about phone...

Any ideas?

Thanks.

My sister has had this happen as well as many other bugs since I updated hers to 2.3.3. Hoping someone finds a solution cause I feel bad. I was trying to do her a favor and now her phone is all messed up.

I just received my phone today and I am also new to the smartphone. Everything was hunkydory until I tried to use bluetooth to transfer my contacts from my old phone. My phone kept switching itself off everytime I tried to set the bluetooth up. I had just installed some android apps, task killer, photo stuff, couple of games, live wallpapers etc. I have now uninstalled all of these and the phone has been fine since. I can only assume that one of the apps was causing some sort of conflict, so maybe I`ll start installing them back on one at a time and keep checking to see whether the issue returns.

That's really interesting... thankyou... I have also got Advanced Task Killer installed, I removed it this morning and will see what happens... so far my phone hasn't turned itself off!! cheers.
