It does not usually happen in the shirt pocket, but is guaranteed to happen in the trousers pocket. So I assume vibrations caused by walking (or maybe flexing) have something to do with it. I cleaned the contacts again and as a last resort, will try the paper to prop up the battery. If that does not help, then goodbye Jolla, I cannot afford to have a phone I cannot rely on.
After cleaning the contacts I put a small drop of contact fluid on each of them. I also gently touched the pins (on the phone) several times with a toothpick to ensure the movement is free. I did not experienced any reboot since ages (read: lots of months).
Note that I do not use the paper trick any more.
