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.

    Umm many reasons depends what model is your phone is it a dual sim 950 or not and if it's a dual  sim 950 xl 

    also so far we figure out the devices that was given to us from the Microsoft Corp didn't get the firmware yet so our batch is not release yet remember Microsoft did say they are sending the update in batches....

    so far some devices the was bought with one SIM cards are getting the updates right now so far some insiders say you could get the update on the Windows Device Recovery Tool on the single sim lumia 950 and the xl so far I don't see it on the dual sims yet. So just be patient

    Still waiting for this on my Lumia 950 Dual SIM in Canada (Mobile Operator 000-CA). Hope they accelerate the pace of deployment as this rolls out...

    The issue isn't rollout.  The issue is *TECHNICALLY* it's not done.  They are waiting for signoff from a few carriers before the officially call them ready to send OTA.  The OTA files do NOT exist for our phones on the firmware server.  They may need to make changes to the firmware depending on the carrier testing.  Once they get approval for the firmware as is or make the necessary changes, they'll be approved for rollout.  

    Long story short -  there is nothing to rollout yet.
