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'm still having Wi-Fi connections problems after applying this firmware update, nothing seems to have changed. After a few hours, DHCP goes crazy and I get "No internet access" until I reboot the phone.

    That's disappointing (though not surprising for Microsoft anymore).

    Thanks for the update.

    Hi I have a Lumia 950 dual sim and my carrier attached to my phone is NAM CV an I still can't get the firmware update. I always thought that an unlock phone would get the updates first cause there is no carrier testing why am I still waiting for the update?

    I've been checking periodically. So far, nothing. Meanwhile, Donna has pushed the red button twice since this was announced.

    In any case, I have a 950XL given to me by Microsoft. It is unlocked and has both AT&T and T-Mobile SIM cards. (Great to have my work and personal numbers on one device!)

    I am confused as there is no carrier for my device.  On the about screen it is listed as NAM CV, which appears to be North AMerican Carrier Variant and is a 059X505 RM-1116 VAR NAM 4R CV BLACK 000-US, according to XDA Developers.

    Unlike my HTC One M8 (T-Mobile) or my (Android) SGS 6 on AT&T, the 950XL has no carrier bloatware or is constrained to any carrier. Wouldn't the firmware just be for any North American phone?

    Any ideas of this devices?
