    Root Weird issue

    My rooted (no themes or ROMs) Motion is doing something very strange as of late. It will reboot itself, and come back on showing 8% battery. I plug it in & within 20 mins or so it's almost fully recharged. Any idea what could be causing this? I've seen it happen with 90% or more of a charge.
