Microsoft has once again started rolling out the Windows Phone 7.8 update with major improvements. Recently the tech giant had temporarily suspended distribution of OS update after many users complained about the heavy battery drain.
The latest update comes with the following improvements;
Last week, Nokia officially confirmed via its Russian Twitter account that, Microsoft had stopped update for its older Windows-based smartphones including Lumia 510, Lumia 610, Lumia 710, Lumia 800 and Lumia 900.
"Microsoft decided to temporarily suspend distribution updates WP7.8 for finalization," reads the tweet. The tweet by Nokia's Russian account was in response to a Lumia user asking the company about battery issue after the user updated his device to Windows Phone 7.8 operating system.
Many Nokia Lumia users have been complaining about the heavy battery drain issue after the Windows Phone 7.8 OS update. Meanwhile, Microsoft said the new Live Tiles seem to use huge amount of data resulting in the battery's faster exhaustion. Microsoft will probably resume the WP 7.8 update once the battery issue is resolved.
