Software Bug in Nokia Lumia 800: Affects Battery Performance


Bangalore: The entry of Nokia into the Smartphone market faced its first jolt when it got comments from customers from different social media stating that some Lumia 800 devices is showing lower battery capacity than expected.  After doing and immediate research on the matter the company accepts that there is a software problem in certain variants of Lumia 800 which is preventing the phones ability to access full battery capacity. They state that there are no issues with the battery or the hardware.  Nokia says the problem persists only in the Lumia 800 and not in the cheaper Lumia 710.

Nokia confirms this to be a software bug which can be fixed easily and they plan to release the updated software by early 2012 which will also include many new enhanced applications for the device. Company also underlines the fact that they are ready to give replacement for those who do not want to wait for the software update.

Indian customers will be least affected by this bug as Nokia Lumia 800 reached Indian market a few days back and the shipment is just commenced. Nokia spoke person says “The units we are selling in India are from fresh stock and don't have any battery bug”.

Nokia’s effort to keep up its pride in the mobile handset market is struck with another blow now. But as for now the problems are identified, accepted and solutions are on the way, so the hope remains that the issues will be dissolved in 2012.
