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. To check for updates, you can also tap Settings > Update & security > Phone update > Check for updates. For more detailed update instructions and troubleshooting, see.

    Hi Amagonfin,

    Do you have any indication or ETA for this firmware to become available in the UK?

    I have an unlocked L950XL on EE UK and still no firmware update...

    I can't wait for the Wifi "no internet" to be fixed...Having to constantly restart my phone is driving me crazy!

    thank in advance

    tony.

    @armagonfin  It has been several days since this was posted. Is this update available to unlocked RM1118 US phones purchased from Microsoft? The reason I purchased direct from Microsoft was to remove the "middle man" for updates like this.
