More help with updating your software
After updating, the Nokia Diagnostics Tool doesn't show any details about battery capacity.
To find out how much battery life you have left, select Settings then System then Battery saver.
Since the update my ring tones and the warning tones I receive when using my headset seem louder.
The ring tone volume will adjust itself automatically after the first 2 seconds to the standard level and the audio volume for warning tones is still within the safety limits.
The battery indicator is showing a ? symbol.
Nokia are currently working on a solution for this.
