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.

    Still have not received the new firmware including double tap for my Lumia 950 XL single sim bought in France unlocked: 000-FR (RM-1085 VAR EURO A1 CV BLACK, Product Code 059X4T8). Microsoft, what's wrong. Will this firmware finally be released for my phone ? Thanks in advance for answering. A french customer.

    It's exactly the same for me. The only difference is I have the white one.

    Come on, Microsoft! We want the double tap to wake our phones, too...

    Two countries where WP sold fairly well, and left till last! The 950 got it 2 weeks ago. Who knows what's going on, but I wouldn't hold your breath. Also, EE in the UK had it on XL two weeks ago!

    You said you were  downloading the EE FW. Did you remain unlocked at the end of it?

    I did d/l but lost my bottle. Plus I thought it was coming this week. Getting a bit cheesed off with it, especially with the Google fiasco. I am beginning to question my loyalty. Trouble is, I detest iPhone and Android is a car crash. W10M just integrates with in my business. That's why I've got 14 devices for my drivers!

    I guess it will come, but our car holders cover the buttons so use camera button to wake up
