Nokia Lumia 800 Update: Now Available To More Units

Even though Nokia Lumia 800 is all gorgeous in its design, its been terrible in battery performance and camera. And a few other bugs like the call bugs where in which the phone wouldn’t hang up an outbound call unless the user turns off the phone. Today, while we were confronting another bug on the phone where the phone refuses to turn on after connecting to power after almost two hours, we were advised to connect it to via USB to a computer. The phone turned on after a few minutes on USB charging and we realized that phone hasn’t charged even single mAh while it was connected to the power for two hours. We launched the Windows Phone Connector for Mac to see if there were any updates available. And we found one new update which we reported last week is now available. The update wasn’t available for our unit back then.

The new update has the following change-log:

* Fixes an on-screen keyboard issue to prevent the keyboard from disappearing during typing.

* Fixes a Gmail syncing issue.

* Fixes a location access issue. With this fix, the Me feature in the People Hub sends anonymous information about nearby Wi-Fi access points and cell towers to Microsoft only if you agree to allow the Check In function to access and use location information.

* Revokes digital certificates from DigiCert Sdn Bhd to address an encryption issue.

* Fixes an email issue related to Microsoft Exchange Server 2003. With this fix, when you reply to or forward a message, the original message is now included in your response.

* Fixes a voicemail notification issue.

Because updates are cumulative, when you install the latest update, you’ll also get all the previous updates we’ve released if your phone doesn’t have them already.

If you did not receive an update back then, try connecting your Lumia 800 to your computer now.
