Nokia Lumia 800 battery life problem

Are you experiencing problems with the Nokia Lumia 800 battery? Nokia just confirmed that while the battery itself is fine, a software problem on certain variants is limiting the phone's ability to access the full battery capacity. A software update in early 2012 will fix affected devices, but Nokia can arrange for a replacement phone if you cannot wait.

To check if your device is affected, check the diagnostic tool and select battery status. If your full charge capacity reads less than 1000 mAh then your phone is affected with this specific issue and you may find it is necessary to charge your phone more frequently than normal. Dialing ##634# opens the diagnostics tool.

How's the battery life on your Nokia Lumia 800? Are you affected? Contact Nokia Care at www.Nokia.com/support if you need to get a replacement.

@nvb2005 Trust me...it can't be worse than the iPhone..

I'm getting 24-36 hrs, which is day, day and a half. Acceptable since I run Whatsapp, two email accounts polling every hour, listening music while commuting, and checking Facebook once in a while.

3G always on and Wifi at home / office. I think the battery life is very very good compared to my previous phones (iPhone 4, Galaxy S2).

Story: I go to sleep with battery life of 100% left. I woke up 8 hours later with 43% battery life left... FB and MSN chats offline trough the night, waiting for some solutions by Nokia. (Battery diagnostics says Full charge 1474mAh)

For some reason my mah goes doen 3-5 points each time i charge my phone... is this normal? i went from 1500 - 1350 ... and iv only ahd this phone for a week. does it mean i need to get a new phone by the end of the month?

I have updated the software of my Lumia 800 and I'm still getting a 960mAh reading! I don't get it.. While Nokia has announced Lumia 900, JUST for the US market btw, we have to struggle with our Lumia 800's crappy battery. No wonder why Apple is still leading the industry. I wanted to support Nokia's effort, but at the end I've got myself an iPhone 4S. What a disappointment, Lumia could really be a great device...
