Z3 randomnly shutting off

The last couple of weeks my Z3 will randomnly shut off for no reason. Usually the battery is under 40% when this happens.  Then it takes a time or two of hitting the power button before I can get it to turn back on and the other day I got a reboot screen or something that popped up and I didn't know what it was.

I've been having the same issue. Seems to happen around the 20% or lower battery mark and is random.

We want you to have a working device. How long has this been going on? Have you had a chance to test your device in Safe Mode? By testing your device in Safe Mode, we can verify this is not happening due to an application, or combination of applicaitons installed on the device.

Smeghead138G, in regard to Safe Mode, the purpose of putting the device into Safe Mode is to see if the battery issue happens while in Safe Mode. Safe Mode disables third party apps that could be affecting performance, but still allows you to use your device and function as normal with calls, text, data, etc. Did the device shut down when you were in Safe Mode?
