Help G1 shutting down randomly.

Have you figured this out yet?

I am having the same problem. I was running 4.2.14 and started getting random crashes. The only way I can boot up after a crash is if the phone is plugged in. I downgraded to 4.2.13, which I did not have the problem with originally. After the downgrade I still have the crashes.

Today I went back to a clean install of Android 1.6, and guess what, I am still having the same problem.

The phone crashes several times a day and only when not plugged in. I have noticed that about 10% of the time when I try to boot without the phone being plugged in, it will get most of the way booted up, say the battery is low, and shut off. And this is when I know the battery has full charge.
