Hey, as I already posted here, my phone was doing the same. However, yesterday I took out the battery and with a cotton swab and alcohol I cleaned the 4 contacts on the battery and the other 4 on the phone and booted it up. As of right now, the phone has not made any self-reboot and the battery level seems to be working and displaying OK. Battery life also improved but this might likely be because of the OS version.
Try that out, man. Best of luck!

I don't think it is battery only because I had the same issue that wasn't resolved by swapping the battery.

I don't recall how old the device is, but if under 30 days or so, get it replaced. Alternatively speak with your carrier, and see if they will replace it for you...
