Silly Mobile Phones

For my sins I run a Nokia Lumia 625.

Nice big text no messing around. It runs the Windows phone operating system

Today it died after 8 months.

Tried to recharge but no good, it tries then stops.

So its back to the shop tomorrow. Not keen on paying out.

I try Google for answers.

One suggestion says plug in charger then hold phone between hands to warm battery up.
You think they're joking.

Anyway it works, phone is on 9% and charging

Bottom line is phone gets so low it doesn't know what anything is.
Warming battery up increases power in battery slightly.

I have a meter on the front that said 91% charged before it died. This app seems to be malfunctioning after Microsoft's recent upgraded.
