Where is the new 950 firmware for USA ATT 950's?

[james7679]

We went through so many starts and stops on ATT updates with the Lumia 830 Denim releases, I'm past believing anything we get from tech support. There have been so many times they've given false hope that I refuse to believe it until I actually see it.

Don't be so jaded. I was speaking with a supervisor. He gave an EXACT date. Not an approximation, an exact date. He said that they received the package before the public release and have been pushing this one through due to the Wi-Fi issue and the possible collateral damage they could incur. He credited my account 6gb of data as well. But I get being jaded, I do. Us WP folks are all that way.

This whole thread is a testament to why I will never again buy a carrier branded phone. Especially when unlocked, unbranded devices have been available since day one.

My original unlocked 950XL phone brought into AT&T did not have visual voicemail and LTE speeds. Not sure if that is still a problem, but it was enough of an issue to me that I returned the MS 950XL for an AT&T 950.

LTE is not a problem, if you can find a support rep who knows how to properly provision the account. Visual Voicemail unfortunately will not work on any dual sim phone until Microsoft fixes it in their software. Youmail and ISeeVM fill this gap pretty nicely.

I hope this update comes by mid Feb. Would prefer sooner. My 950 has so many little bugs that it's driving me crazy. Way too many random reboots also.

Btw what setting in camera for video to make 4K videos?

I might be trading in for an iPhone or android sadly.. tired of being frustrated

I already moved over to the iPhone 6S from the 950. I was tired of my phone locking up, bluetooth failures, lack of banking App, lack of wallet app, no wifi calling and a terrible music player. I payed for my 950 out right with Microsoft Complete....anyone want a 950 with 128GB card and complete? PM with offer.

I have an update for anyone interested. I just got off of the phone with AT&T Wireless tech support. I spent a few minutes explaining that my data usage had skyrocketed due to Wi-Fi drop off and inquired as to when they would be releasing the firmware, since they are not providing a date on their product update page. He said that the latest firmware update is wrapping up internal BETA testing and they have an approved release date of February 10-12th, depending on your IMEI number. So, at least we have that.

Please be true, please be true, please be true...

Hysterical MS is putting out another Firmware update before ATT get the last one.

ATT 2 FW updates behind

Yep. Hopefully we get the latest.

 

[CraigCole]

Yep. Hopefully we get the latest.

What'll probably happen is they'll want to push the latest firmware update out so they'll begin testing it soon. Of course this will take several months to complete and by the time they're ready to push it out the next firmware update after that will be ready and they'll want the make that one live, which will, again, take more months to test meaning we never actually get an update, LOL!

Yea this same stuff happened with ATT and the Lumia 920, firmware releases would pile up waiting for ATT to pish them out.

Anything on the ATT L950 firmware release?

if the day ends with a "Y", then wait 2 more weeks.... but seriously, nothing yet

Basic math you say, 7days x 14 days = 3.14 @_@!

 

[dashrendar]

It is very possible that AT&T's QA is slower and more strict and that they actually found issues in the first firmware and wanted Microsoft to address them and that is why Microsoft released another one. Perhaps waiting in this case is a good thing.

 

[swanlee]

Na, people are not reporting any issues with the last firmware it had been out 2 months now, also considering MS has released yet another firmware revision it is comical ATT is taking so long. Maybe if ATT could actually communicate with it's customers and tell us their progress and issues they have found I could cut them some slack. As it is I have to assume they don't give a damn and are treating it as a low priority

 

[ashram]

A communications company communicate info to it's customers? That's crazy talk! But seriously, wish at&t was a bit more forthcoming with info on windows phone.

 

[casteld73]

so aggravating. I'd rather not know new firmware has been released.

 

[webwevers]

Really wish they would get the firmware update out. Going to the AT&T store to see about a replacement now, tired of waiting.
