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.

    I saw this post on Windows Central this morning and I believe it's relevant for some of us. Here's hoping.

    I've just upgraded both Lumia 950, mine and my wife's one, with the latest firmware 16236.35034 and on mine there isn't presence of the double tap wake option under touch, and in my wife's one it's present, but it's working on both.

    In my phone I've the latest redstone 14393 and in my wife's one the latest thresold one 10586.494.

    Could we be getting closer to seeing an OTA release for those of us in the US?  As of today, the Lumia Firmware site has listed the latest firmware!

    This is driving me crazy with anticipation - running an unlocked Lumia 950 XL purchased from Microsoft.  Crossing fingers we're coming to the finish line!  Good luck, all!

    My uneducated guess is next week at the next round however I wouldn't complain if they pushed it before then.  

    Thanks for the tip that it was finally approved and posted.
