Hey folks, We are starting to rollout a new firmware update today for Lumia 950 / 950 XL : 01078.00053.16236.35xxx . Key improvements in this release include: Wi-Fi connectivity improvements, including fixes for Wi-Fi connection dropping randomly and Wi-Fi scan occasionally not returning any results. Support for double tap to wake enabled. Bluetooth connectivity improvements. Stability and reliability improvements. Camera improvements, including improved image and video quality, improved Auto-focus and fix for a problem that was causing slow motion capture to skip frames for some users. Cellular connectivity improvements, including fix for a problem that caused occasional network loss for some users. Audio quality improvements, including fix for a problem that caused voice call audio to get scrambled for some users. The availability of the update may depend on your phone model, region or network service provider. Starting today, the update should become available for the first batch of phones and the remaining ones are expected to receive the update gradually. Windows 10 is updating continuously, so make sure you follow all the update notifications that appear on your phone.

Are the important issues that plagues 950 series fixed in this update? Importantly WiFi and Bluetooth issues. thanks

Hooray the firmware update has fixed my outlook sync problem i can now get mail again. Thanks

Thanks for the video.... Still waiting to get it on my phone but bit curious to know if it also activates the iris scanner to unlock the phone? On my 950XL dual sim card on att network, Got double tap leading to iris log-in some time ago through Microsoft Insider fast ring build. Works great. Phone over a year old but still works. I have to make sure and look at same spot used to calibrate IRIS, but to me, it is added security!

Dear armagonfin Sorry to inform you that as i upgraded my Lumia 950 XL RM 1116 (059X5B5) to this latest update and lost my OS, Phone restart to a blank screen with navigation keys and top status bar and nothing was accessible. I have to Hard Reset to default ROM of my phone. Now i have fear that this will happen again if i go for firmware update. Please reply or comment if someone else faced this and what will be its solution. regards
