It sounds like the battery has reached its end of life. Rechargeable batters have a finite number of charge/discharge cycles in them. If it has been used for a long time, that would be my best diagnosis without looking at it.
Goto settings, about phne at them bottom. Then software updates and the check for updates.
Check with user groups, do search for Samsung user groups.
You should get valuable info.
Do you have a Samsung Galaxy S by any chance? The same thing happens to my phone, its fully charged, something happens and I have to turn it off, when I turn it back on it says the battery is almost dead. I have Tmobile so for me I would have to pay full price for any new phone which stinks but thats a whole other topic
My Blackberry did the same thing after about two years.
I think I found your problem ...
Sounds like your battery may not be holding a full charge.
That happened to my Motorola flipfone last year. I ordered a couple of replacements, since the phone is over 5 years old. Popped one in and recharged the unit. It has been fine since.

I have an HTC Evo. It got to the point where it would only go 10 minutes on a charge. I got a new battery and that helped for a couple of weeks and then it went back to the same nonsense. Sometimes I guess phones just get old.
Batteries aren’t that expensive especially if bought off the net.
Can be a cheap fix if that is your problem.
My wife and I both purchased identical Samsung Galaxy S4 Mega phones on the same day last October. Her phone did the same thing from day 1, my phone has never had a problem. Customer service at AT&T was less than helpful (to put it mildly) and last month she had to file an insurance claim through AT&T at a cost of another $125 to have hers replaced.
Her phone just shut itself off for no apparent reason. Turn it back on, it may stay on, it may not. And, of course, it would never do it while at the AT&T store. To this day, no rhyme or reason for what the phone did. One time on a trip to her sister’s house, the phone shut itself off about 15 times during a 50-minute ride. Frustrating as hell for her since she was a Director of Nursing and on-call at all times.
I had the same exact problem with my Samsung Galaxy, 2 years old. The battery needed replacing. Replaced the battery for $45 at Batteries Plus and now it works fine.
Are you sure you’re logged on?
You’re keeping the processor too busy for the battery charge to even out.
It could just be a bad battery, or a cheaply designed battery.
I recently got a tracfone. I’m very happy with it. No contract, no commitment, very cheap for what I use a cell phone for. My iphone died and I saw it as an opportunity to ditch Verizon.
Perhaps it’s one of the following:
You are standing upon an planet too close to the sun - perhaps Venus - try returning to the planet Earth. The extra warm atmosphere is hard on cell phones, smart phones especially.
Your phone is too warm due to global warming, agree to pay higher taxes, give your cattle to the BLM and promise to ride a bicycle (or a unicycle - much greener to produce!) in exchange for an earlier discounted upgrade from your carrier.
Just a few thoughts I had...
In all honesty, good luck to you. Great responses on this thread.
