Maybe a loose battery contact is the culprit. I have been in the same issue a month back. That's when I bought a new original battery from Nokia and a universal Desktop Charger for my BL-5J and other Li-ion battery. I also had completely no idea why I my phone shutsdown randomly, mostly when the phone is locked in my pocket while I'm walking, sliding up the keyboard, and even when i just hold my phone and tilt it up. Then i found these topics and tried the solution, and viola! No random shutdowns right after that.

As i evaluated the problem and the solution, I guess it all happened because of the universal Desktop Charger that I bought and used to charge that battery. My desktop charger has 2 pins for the + and - which made the contacts loose since it has a larger diameter than the max distance between the contacts of the battery.
