As far as I can remember it happened once, and the phone turned itself off, so IT IS empty

Yea, but starting from scratch means (temporary) loosing all your files and settings, and its pretty annoying to get everything back the way it was...

I have a strong feeling that this is the issue, though I have no idea of how to confirm such a thing...

I'm not the first to find it for sure, but I hope it is it because that means this could be fixed rather quickly.

Anyhows, I want to thank anyone who tried to help me so far (and especially you slender

), even though the problem still not fixed - your help did not go unnoticed

I was thinking, maybe the problem is with the battery? Maybe it "thinks" its full when its fully charged, but in fact it isn't? I think I recall there was a way to "reset" the battery's memory (it has some kind of a built-in chip for this purpose, no?), so maybe I could try reseting it and everything will come back to normal?
