It's reset on me about 5 times now.  The only common element for me was 
a "twisting pressure" on the case, such as when pressed against a leg in 
a pants pocket.  To me this means something is loose inside, and breaks 
the internal battery circuit.    I had to stop carrying it around like 
that, since I won't put it in a hard shell case.
