Samsung S2 turning itself off since "upgrade" to Android 4.1.2

My Samsung S2 informed me at the weekend that it wanted to install a new version of the operating system. It went from 4.0.something (Ice Cream Sandwich) to 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean).

The new version seems to be mainly a churned version of the old one. There was nothing wrong with the old one either!

Anyway, I've tolerated the change. One problem though - the phone seems to have turned itself off about 3 times over the last week or so. It was fine before - I ran it for several months without a restart.

I would wipe the memory and then try again. but I think Odin is the tull for both these things, rather than Keys http://galaxymediaone.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/odin-all-flasher-and-original-ops-pit.html

just google and you will find a 'how to'

Backup data and factory reset first .

All sorted thanks. A rubbish (free) email app was responsible I believe. It had been going unstable.
