Nokia has started rolling out the second promised software patch, which is designed to resolve the poor battery performance issues some owners of the Lumia 800 have been experiencing.
The update is being staggered out over the next two weeks,but will be available to all Lumia 800 users. As well as giving the much hoped for battery boost, the update also includes improvements to the phone's WiFi connectivity.
When the update is available to you to install, a message will appear on your handset – however the update is not available Over The Air, instead you will need to connect your handset to your PC via the data cable, and using Zune, go to the phone update under phone settings to install the software patch.
Once done, the software version on the Lumia 800 should be 1600.2483.8106.11500
The battery issue meant that the power efficiency of the unit was not performing to standard, so users were not getting the full benefit of the battery, as the battery capacity was not being reached when being charged. The software fix improves the power management of the device, so all users who had been affected by poor battery life should see an improvement.
