    Anyone still not getting the 950 XL firmware update?

    I think the bigger issue is with regard to communication. The only thing that the general public hears is "There's a new firmware update available!" or "There's a new OS update available!" Only rarely is it ever communicated that the updates are not available to everyone immediately and never is...

    Firmware update for Lumia 950/950 XL: 01078.00027.15506.020xx

    Nothing for me yet. On .29 and not in the insider program. 950XL on AT&T and home base is the Seattle area but I'm currently travelling in Louisville, KY. Tried updating in both locations. I really wish Microsoft would get their act together with communicating these updates. They indicate the...

    950 XL: Whooshing/Wind Noise from Mic renders phone unusable for calls.

    I went to my local M$ store and we flashed my phone with their Lumia Recovery Tool onsite they swore up and down has some kind of feature or firmware version that I don't have access to. Unfortunately this didn't help things at all. What's worse is they are completely sold out of all Lumia 950...

    950 XL: Whooshing/Wind Noise from Mic renders phone unusable for calls.

    Thanks for the suggestion, I already have it disabled. I'm wary of the potential battery drain.

    950 XL: Whooshing/Wind Noise from Mic renders phone unusable for calls.

    Thanks for responding. I've done both a soft (hold power and vol down until it reboots) and a hard (settings / system / about / reset your phone) reset. To be honest I was more frustrated in that I felt the person didn't really read my post. I'd clearly written that I did a hard reset of the...

    950 XL: Whooshing/Wind Noise from Mic renders phone unusable for calls.

    After joining the Windows Insider program yesterday in a vain attempt to get 10586.29 onto my 950 XL I have somehow picked up an issue with the microphone of my device. Any audio it records includes a loud whooshing/wind noise that largely drowns out any other sounds. This renders the phone...

    Getting 10586.29 Update

    I'm in the same boat - 950XL on AT&T. No update available. My phone has not been working beautifully; I've been eagerly awaiting this first update in hopes it improves the situation. WP10 is decidedly buggy as hell. The Edge improvements are badly needed but the OS also needs some overall...

    950 XL: Wi-fi connectivity issues?

    To clarify - in my home I have two AP's. Both broadcast two networks that run N only, one network at 2.4Ghz and one network at 5Ghz. Both AP's broadcast both frequencies and for each of the two frequencies I broadcast the same SSID on both AP's (different SSID for each frequency but the SSID for...

    950 XL no LTE on AT&T?

    I called AT&T support and was truthful with them regarding the issue instead of trying to pass off my new phone as something different. The person helped me set up the exact same APN setting as above but that didn't help for me. The person ended up inputting a different IMEI number for my...

    950 XL: Wi-fi connectivity issues?

    At least for me, other devices connected to the same wifi network have no internet access problems. Given that I have a hard time thinking this is a problem with the access point or the router.

    950 XL: Wi-fi connectivity issues?

    Trying to see if anyone else sees these problems. I have both 2.4 and 5Ghz networks in my home. For whatever reason my 950 XL will connect but gets no internet access. Other devices on the same network get internet access just fine. This persists through a reboot. WPA2 security on the networks...

    950XL Waiting Room

    I just got off the phone with their customer service center. I inquired specifically about the Bellevue, WA store but was told that the word just got communicated from "corporate" that people with preorders can go in and pick up their phones today. She said I can go ahead and go into the...

    950XL Waiting Room

    Has anyone inquired at the Bellevue, WA store regarding whether they're selling right now?

    950XL Waiting Room

    For what it's worth I called to the Microsoft store phone center who confirmed the in-store date as the 26th. They even called to my local store (Bellevue, WA) who also confirmed the availability date. They confirmed that the preorder has to be picked up within two days(!). I made sure to...

    950XL Waiting Room

    It's a miracle! Finally up for preorder from the M$ store. It says "Shipping by Nov 25th."

    950XL Waiting Room

    So now that there are confirmed ship dates for the 950/XL in several other countries WP10 is clearly not holding up this phone. Obviously there are no manufacturing issues either. No word on USA release dates, preorders, or anything else for that matter since Oct 6th. Can we finally acknowledge...

    950XL Waiting Room

    Re: 950XL waiting room. I feel bad saying this but in my opinion the dots have connected to indicate that Microsoft does not feel that the 950/XL are worthy of great importance. Consider: Out of all the major product announcements on Oct 6 all of them had firm ship dates and very rapid...

    Thoughts about how to get the 920 at the best price while still under contract

    I also picked up the 900 right when it came out this April. I called this morning and while they didn't have specific too-early upgrade pricing for the 920 in their computers yet the rep guessed that the too-early upgrade price would be similar to that of other phones at $250 plus the phone's...
