Nokia has also reportedly addressed an issue with the lack of audio bass through headsets, improved the auto-white balance of the camera, and changed the illumination of the capacitive hardware buttons. Nokia's last major firmware release (1600.2483.8106.11500) addressed some battery issues with the Lumia 800, but the company seemed confident it had resolved most battery-related problems.
