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.

    This firmware trashed my camera. It can no longer take a picture that is in focus. The camera wont focus no matter what settings I use or how many times I reboot the phone.

    How can I fix this?

    Here is a link to a video showing what is going on with the camera.

    So to me like you need to reinstall w10 using the recovery tool on a pc . If that doesn't work , if it was me I would send your phone off to Microsoft for a repair. They have a 24 month warranty.

    Are firmware updates cumulative or is it needed to install each individually?

    Well, it is now October and I still do not have the latest firmware or the Anniversary update for my Lumia 950 Dual SIM. My phone info:

    Model: Microsoft Lumia 950 Dual SIM

    Carrier: NAM CV

    Software: Windows 10 Mobile

    Installed RAM: 3 GB

    Version: 1511

    OS build: 10.0.10586.218

    Firmware revision number:

    01078.00038.16025.39004

    Hardware revision number: 2.1.6.2

    Radio software version: B025c43.00009.0001

    Chip SOC version: 8992

    If I understand things correctly, these are the issues for the firmware update:

    • I bought the unlocked phone at the Microsoft store.
    • The Microsoft Store rep said my six-month old phone will never get the firmware update or Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update.
    • I am using it on T-Mobile.
    • Although AT&T will push it over the air (OTA), T-Mobile will never push it OTA. There is no way to ever get it OTA.
    • The http://www.lumiafirmware.com site has a ROM that is newer: Last Firmware: 01078.00053.16236.35005.
    • I should be able to use Windows Device Recovery Tool software to update my phone with the ROM from www.lumiafirmware.com.

    An assumption: I can not get the Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update until I get the updated firmware.

    I plan to work on the firmware this week. Wish me luck and tell me if anything I wrote is wrong. Thanks.
