I upgraded today from 1.1.4.28 to 1.1.4.29. No idea if this is related: I have now strange alerts from the battery.

1) "Battery too cold. Move your device to a warmer place" (ambient temperature 20° Celsius)

2) "Sorry, charging not functioning, try an other charger"

(Translated from French)

Same with laptop USB port or with original Jolla wall charger. So my phone will probably die within a few hours.

EDIT: if charging the phone when turned off, I notice a short vibration every second. No charge indication. Current battery level 87%.

First step t ANY battery problem is to clean the battery contacts. :P

I did, with a microfibre clothe.

Try with an electronics contact cleaner on a q-tip. Rub it, let it dry and if it behaves the same contact care.

Problem solved. The middle pin of the battery connector wasn't completely deployed (I mean partially sunk in its housing, hence bad contact). Difficult to notice, difficult to catch. The weird thing is that this triggered a temperature alert.

Sorry for stupid question.
