Nokia Lumia 800 Firmware Update Fixes Battery Life, Available To Some Users Now

Nokia Lumia 800 owners, your well-documented battery issues will soon be a thing of the past, as an impending firmware update to improve the device’s battery performance is arriving soon.

The update, version 1600.2487.8107 is expected to bring “significant improvements in battery performance and power management,” as well as certain enhancements to the phone’s audio performance. By improving the bass, the update will provide the Lumia 800 with “better voice quality” and better sounding tunes.

This same update surfaced previously as a Vodafone-branded variant and, according to WPCentral, created a three times improvement in the battery life of the Lumia 800, so it should be worth users’ time to checking the Zune desktop software for updates. The only issue is, according to Nokia, not everyone will be able to update right this moment; due to the phone being available on multiple carriers in various markets, the company has to do a multi-stage rollout over the course of the next four weeks.
