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.

    Hmm, was hoping to get it first. Seems my unlocked device acquired from MS isn't on the good list.

    The firmware is being delivered OTA since today.

    No need to use the WDRT tool to get the new firmware.

    It has already said that it will being delivered in flights/batches.

    I got one just 950 that didn't get it now, and a few 950(XL)s I use for testing did get it OTA earlier this evening.

    Firmware update availability should not have dependencies on whether you are on Windows Insider program or not. The update be available for both those in "official" update path and those who are in Windows Insider Program (fast or slow). However regardless of the "ring", the rollout still happens in waves (as partners and operators on a given country approve the update).

    That sounds very promising indeed. Thank you! :)

    May I inquire if this firmware release: Lumia 950/950 XL: 01078.00053.16236.35xxx.

    Available for both the official and Insider build?

    Thanks and regards,

    It's available for all phones in the 950 range.

    Build is not important, it will be available for all, fast slow production and  also public builds.

    But keep in mind it will be released in flights/batches

    Like I said some phones overhere diddn't get it right now
