I am having the same problem. I took my husbands battery( he has a Thunderbolt too and had no problems ), but that did not solve the problem. I am having the same problem with the newer battery. I can't complete a text message without it dying, but it shows a fully charged battery.

I have been having similar issues for the past 3-4 weeks.  My phone constantly restarts.  I will charge it and it will show as being fully charged but then I will do something on it (internet, text, call, etc) and it will almost immediately die.  This is intermitent, so I know it is not an issue with the battery as sometimes the battery will hold a charge for 5+ hours.  Other times, it will be fully charged and I will go to use it and it will just shut itself off.  I went to the store and they were not at all helpful.  I've had the phone for a year and half and have not had any issues and then all of a sudden it started acting weird.  I can't do anything at all with it now, so I'm basically forced to get a new phone already.
