To clarify: does the Lumia 800 update fix the batt...

Hi all
First time poster. I've been reading these boards for a week now trying to figure out, from the various posts and their many sub-pages, whether this update is
a) available (UK)
b) effective
My wife and I both like the Lumia 800 but are put off by the very concerning battery and sound issues. We are happy to get one provided we can be sure the recent fix is precisely that. We were looking at O2; has anyone on O2 got the update yet, and what are your findings?
Thanks in advance for any help
p.s. another option is to wait for the 900, but from what I've read the UK release date is simply stated as Q2. Is that the latest?

Well I'm on Vodafone UK; 12070 update appears to have significantly improved mattersfor me.. These days I ignore the 'estimated time remaining' figure, as it seems to be based on tour usage in an unspecified previous period so now merely provides mild interest. However the 'remaining battery life' definitely reduces noticeably more slowly.
Usage-wise, I use functions as I need them.. I don't need 24/7 web connection so turn Cellular or Wifi on as and when. While I'll turn Cellular off asap, I'll often leave Wifi on if I'm not leaving the zone. The phone is almost always turned on; I've never yet used flight mode. Listen to music in the car, but often hook up to a charger while doing this, as I would with any mobile.
I might charge every day, sometimes every couple of days.Depends how much I've been doing.
To put it in context, my netbook (Wifi always on) battery lasts 45 MINUTES if I'm lucky!
I like it, anyway.. 12070 has definitely enhanced my experience :-)
I also got the latest version of Drive, and while I still don't really 'do' satnav it seems to be improving by degrees. Satnav regulars have other threads going on that one I think.

New Lumia 800 update has halved my new phones batt...

I installed a new nokia lumia 800 update today and it has halved the battery life of my phone, is there anyway I can uninstall this update? From a day and a half of battery life to just under 16 hours is ridiculous..

I think you need to go post this latest issue over on the Microsoft Windows Phone Answers forum. There are Microsoft moderators over there that could possibly provide better information than you'll get here.

Does 1.01 software update fix the freezing Apple logo porblem?

Been on holiday since before this was released and therefore not hasd a chance to check. I have my iPod classic 160GB with me and it seems to be working sweetly with 4,000 tracks (30% of my library). This is the most I could ever sucessfully upload despite trying with 2 different models. I love the interface, even if it is slowish and the sound quality is good too. I don´t want to have to return another one, this time for a refund as will miss the good things about it.
I return from holiday on Sunday and would like to think that the freezing issue has been reslove via the firmware update (or iTunes 7.4.2) but cannot find any confirmation of this. A lot of the posters with this problem appear to have gone away. Does this mean it´s fixed?

Hello !
I have a ipod classic 160gb, and i updated it to 1.0.1, but my itunes was 7.4.1 while synching. I have the apple-logo-freeze problem when i try to synch my whole library. The Update to 1.0.1 didn't change anything!
So far i found out my ipod is working with "almost" all playlist synchronized, it's just one playlist-folder i can't synch or it will freeze. But i already tried to synch that folder first without the other music, then it works flawless, but when filling it up with the rest, it freezes again, it's really annoying, i can't localize the problem at all. It seems like the ipod won't work with all the playlists on it. Well, trying now to update itunes and do the whole thing again... for about the 9th time

Your Battery Life after Lumia 800 Update

Hi,
I recently updated my Lumia 800 to firmware (1600.24838106.11500) and my battery life is much much better. However, I am still not seeing an expected fixed full charge of ~ 1502mAh, which it had before the update. Nokia says it may be an issue with the phone but before I send it back could any else confirm that post update they can get a max capacity charge reading in the 1500mAh's? Could there still be a little more battery charge a firmware update could tap into for all of us or is my battery weakened by pre-update battery management? My battery at the moment polls:
1) Battery Saver Life remaining around 1day 9hours.
2) Battery Status Full Charge Capacity varies between ~1350 & 1420 mAh.
3) Charging using approved Nokia Lumia 800 chargers.
3) Three charging cycles completed.
Cheers for the help.

After the update and a hard reset;
The max battery ranges between 1322 and 1478
For the 1st few days I was getting about 26hrs out of it so quite a leap from 6-9hrs but this morning the phone was dead after 16hrs - with most of that time just on standby.
Plugged in the charger and there's a battery charging image but after 15 mins I still can't turn the phone on to make a call (with charger in).
During this time my Blackberry 8520 was charged up on Saturday and the battery power shows 3 bars left out of 5.
The Lumia looks really nice but I think it's covering up internal outdated junk and the only thing that's keeping it selling is smoke and mirrors marketing.
335 hrs standby time - nearly 2 weeks!!!
55 hrs of music playback - over 2 days!!!!
It's like they plucked the numbers out of the sky... "this will sell it"!
My phone is now coming up to 2 months old and all this "there's a patch to fix it" has proved nonsense. Sure they've increased it a little but I'm sure I could have got more life out of it by setting the brightness to low myself.

Nokia plan to make this update available everywhere over the next two weeks. No one can say exactly when you will have it.
If in two weeks from now you still don't have it please contact Nokia care or a Nokia care centre in your country.

Does 10.5.3 update fix audio "popping?"

There's a pretty well documented issue with several computers with the sound card more or less going to sleep and causing pops in external speakers as well as delays in sounds while the card wakes up. Does anyone know if the latest osx update fixes this?

Well, I don't know about Sweden, but the "sound card goes to sleep and pops on wake" thing is well documented in these forums, and there are reports of people taking their computers in for repair several times (with no resolution) in the USA.
There was a similar issue around 10.4.10 that was quickly patched...why not this time (that has been going on literally for months)?
There is a freeware utility built for PPC computers from back around 10.1.x that is working on my Macintel computer -- Keepsoundawake. It plays an inaudible sound ever 20 seconds or so to prevent the sound card from going to sleep. I've got it as a login item, and it's working for me, but remember that this is old software that may not work for all users. It can be found on versiontracker at http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/13709&mode=feedback or macupdate at http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/9349/keepsoundawake.
As I said...it works for me, but YMMV.

Lumia 800: update w 7.5 to 7.10 makes email unable...

Hi, I updated my Lumia 800 from Windows 7.5 to Windows 7.10.8862.144
I did this some 3 weeks ago april 12. Since then I cannot read my mail accounts, no synchr. (mail accounts are diplayed in grey in the settings)
Also the icons do not indicate when I received a text message or missed call.
Connected to zune today and checked for updates again. no results in solving the problem.
Zune states the phone is up to date and software 7.10 (8862) is installed.
The lumia states software Phone 7.8. This is confusing. I was expecting 7.10.
Mem free is > 10GB.
Please help to solve this.

OK, that was easy to solve. It turns out that you have to turn your phone off and on after the software update.
Now both problems are solved. ........I never turn my phone off..

European nokea lumia 800 update

I purchased a Nokia Lumia 800 from Europe and am wondering when the update will be available for this phone.

Hi infochick,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the forum!
We don't have information available on when an update will become available as this depends on many factors such as your operator as well as for example your specific region. We constantly bring out updates however and as soon as one become available for your particular device it will show up on your phone's screen and in Zune.
Hope this clears things up.

No Lumia 800 update, but support site says it shou...

I have a Lumia 800, Product code 059N0W6 (Sweden)
Firmware version: 1600.2483.8107.11501
(Windows phone connector reports 07.10.08107.3)
On the update availability page it says that the latest update IS available, but both my phone and Windows Phone Connector tell me that they can't find any update.
The phone is unlocked, and I'm using a rather obscure carrier called springmobil.
How can I get that update?
