Hey all,

we have started rolling out a new firmware update for Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL: 01078.00038.16025.390xx. Key improvements in this release include:

  • Stability fixes.
  • Improvements for GPS reliability.
  • Improvements for call audio quality.

The availability of this update may depend on your phone model, region or network service provider. At the time of writing this post, the update is available mainly for selected open market variants, but the rollouts should continue gradually during the coming days and weeks.  

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 detailed update instructions, see.

If you are a Windows Insider user, see. Note: this does not affect general firmware availability.

To read more about the new features included in Windows 10 Mobile, see What's New in Windows 10 Mobile.

    Check out this article on Window Central from yesterday:

    "The only semi-confirmed area is Germany, non-ISP variant, but Microsoft has noted that "the rollouts should continue gradually during the coming days and weeks."

    There is also no response from Microsoft on the update nor what the firmware fixes.

    We all need to stay tuned and keep using the "Windows Insider" app to verify any available fast track updates.

    Firmware update availability is dependent on country/operator approvals, so the update publishing mode is slightly different from Windows 10 OS updates. The update will be available, when approved for your device.

    I am an unlocked 950 dual sim owner in the United States. Where do we fit into the FW update rollout or can you tell sir?

    The GSM (2G/3G) connectivity is horrible, and my Lumia 950 XL is nearly unusable when my data connection is throtteled. Has this been improved with the firmware update? LTE is fine, only the previous mentioned standards are unusable compared to other phones I own. State: Germany (Unlocked/Unbranded Lumia 950 XL) Provider: o2

    Same here.

    Germany, Vodafone with Lumia 950 XL.

    LTE is running fine, but when the data connection switches automatically between 3G and H/H+ the phone is nearly unusable.
