It will be, it's doing O/S updates wrong (language packs missing) that buggers up future updates.
So, I cannot reach the future updates with zune (tango for example) if i update my phone to 12070 with cab sender? Should I downgrade/restore my phone from 12070 to 11500?
Hey guys, I'm sick of waiting for the update, so I think I'll just flash it myself.
Are there any unbranded roms floating around? I don't want to bother with any logos when booting up.
Anyone on Three in the UK got the update via Zune yet? No sign of it for my brothers Lumia 800.
Perhaps I've misunderstand this, but thats not true. If it's locked, it will stay locked. However if it's branded You can indeed flash it with a unbranded rom to remove the branding. I've done it myself with a T-mobile branded Lumia 800. Right now I'm running a dutch unbranded 12070 FW.If your phone is branded to your network, it will stay branded to your network after the update, this update does not unbrand or brand your phone on another operator branding.

This sounds like you have flashed your phone with the latest NL country variant. If so, please can you check if the volume bug is present in this version?
E.g. switch your volume down to 4 or 5 and see if it jumps up to full volume if you are receiving a call.
Thanks!
Or when you receive a message. I noticed it happens then as wel... Quite frustrating...
Sms: no
Incoming call: yes
Just to clarify: on incoming call the volume raises to full for 1-2 seconds, then returns to correct level.
Actually I havent tried listening to music while receiving sms.
Just noticed that on incoming call it raises.
Indeed very frustrating.
I didn't have any problems with battery, but with reboots when connecting car bluetooth during ongoing call.
Thought that might have been fixed with 12070, but nope.
Any known workarounds for the volume bug?
I'm thinking of downgrading....
I have no experience with the bluetooth thing. I'm not old enough to drive a car, so it's pretty useless to me. My battery is also fine, haven't noticed any difference with the 12070 update.
I don't know about any workarounds, and neither of a way to downgrade...
I've downgraded 11501->11451 restoring a Zune backup earlier. However, I think the Recovery flash method should work fine though to go from 12070->11501, but haven't tried it...
Does 12070 firmware really improve the battery life?
I got my phone yesterday and the battery drains so fast... Also the volume problem.. Why is it so loud even when I down to 1?? Do you guys know how to fix it??

OKAY!........ You dont have to be so darn rude. It was confusing on how it was explained. but again thanks.......
I have a unbranded "Swiss" Lumia. My Operator code is 000-CH. It means OPN swiss.... 000-88 is also a code for open devices. my omnia 7 have that 000-88 code. the 12070 update also have the 000-88 code inside. do you think i can update the next firmware over zune? the 12070 firmware seems to be unbranded, but will it be the same firmware which will be released worldwide for open market phones?´i already flashed my phone with the new firmware, but i don't want to restore my phone after 5 months when the next firmware comes. i'm afraid that my phone cannot be updated over zune anymore.

Hi HeathCliff,
Don't we have to worry about walshing our phones by manually applying this update? Or are language cabs only of importance with OS updates?
Can I flash my branded phone via CAB method? Will it still be branded or unbranded if i can?
i'm completely new to wp7. how does one go about updating their phone through the cab method? Any tutorials out there?
Can someone who owns the Lumia 800 and is running it with the latest firmware/update tell me when their phone is fully charges, how many hours remaining does the battery saver mode state?
Telecom here have just launched the lumia 800 with the latest 12070 firmware installed, and on 1st day I only got 8 hours use with work email, hotmail, twitter, facebook set to push.
now I have the same setup and infact more apps running in the background on the htc titan and I get solid 2 days.
I want to update via Singapore update 12070. Should I update if my Nokia is OEM factory phone and i live in the USA? Does this update brand the Phone? please send pics or video of startup of Nokia 800. I am just wondering if it brands the Nokia as a Singapore phone?
So, we are still waiting in EU for Nokia's update but we see that Asias is the first one. cong
