Help Phone won't charge unless awake

About six months ago I had an episode that lasted a few days where the phone turned itself off and wouldn't come back on again until the battery was removed. It was still just in warranty so I sent it away and the problem was resolved although they said there wasn't a fault. They did a factory reset.

The same thing started happening again last week, and it because unusable, so I did a factory reset myself.
I thought this had resolved the problem, but it still locks up when charging and needs the battery removed. If I prevent it from going to sleep with an app like a decibel meter, or use it on charge as a SatNav it charges happily and never cuts out.
This sounds to me like a software bug else it wouldn't change radically when I do a factory reset.

Has anyone else had something like this?

(I've changed the battery and that makes no difference)
