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.

    For those itching to get the new Microsoft firmware for their Lumia 950, we have an update to give you. For those who own the unlocked Lumia 950 dual-SIM model sold in the US (NAM CV) you can now reset your phone and get it via the Windows Device Recovery Tool.

    Firmware version 01078.00053.16236.35005 is now listed as an update from the previous 16025.xxxx version. The 16236 series is the one announced by Microsoft on July 7 as bringing double-tap-to-wake along with numerous other fixes.

    Enjoy my peeps and rejoice!!!!!

    Windows Device Recovery tool tells me there is a Firmware update for my  Lumia 950

    (New firmware update for Lumia 950: 01078.00053.16236.35005 )

    Unfortunately the OS on the server is older than the one on my device.

    Is there perhaps a way to install only the Firmware update through the WDR without it affecting my OS and downgrading it?

    I would wait for the update to come OTA but fear my carrier (Vodacom South Africa) might be procrastinating.

    If you are currently running an insider preview build, the WDRT will install the latest Release branch build, which will appear older to you. Then re-install your insider preview build again. A bit of a hassle; I'm gonna just wait for the OTA firmware push.

    Ok, but how do I know if I should be firing a rocket at to my carrier or not? How do I know if they are just sitting on it?
