Just got mine yesterday afternoon on my Acer. I find it hilarious that your 950XL was released around the same time as a Galaxy S6 Edge Plus I have and yet that Samsung is stuck perpetually on a May 2017 security update. If a dead OS can still receive security updates why can't they all? I mean every single month like clockwork on Patch Tuesdays.

I'm downloading just now on my L930, but the update says Version 1703??

 

[htcjirka]

That's fine, the Lumia 930 officially supports version AU. By modifying the registers it is possible to support the FCU 1709

Yes, one of the many reasons I stick with windows 10 mobile. I like the support,as you said way past when android phone are orphaned.

It's ok for my Lumia 930 (FCU 1709), update completed successfully. Now, I notice some UI differences in the "Applications Store" app. Don't you?

 

[fin11]

Yes but the changes in store ui came before last build, see details here http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/flow/item/23213_Microsoft_Store_client_gets_cr.php

The update on my 640 keeps saying that it cant update due to time and date being incorrect However things are ok. I do have the region set to Canada. Do I need to set for the US?

Do you have any Cortana issues after update?
Mine stopped working last night.

Mine stopped working last night.

Yes, nothing appears on Home and when I go to the Notebook, it's blank. My reminders are still there, reading texts works, and voice commands work but she says she can't connect to the internet when I ask a question.

 

[beman39]

cortana is working perfectly for me so far....

 

[MrockNroll]

Which phone model do you have beman39?

 

[fatclue_98]

Cortana is working better than ever actually. Not only does she send me reminders to call people back and such, she now sends me emails too. The emails started yesterday so it might be part of the October Update.

I have the same issue with my 950XL. Tried everything I can think of and still haven't been able to get the update to complete.

I got lucky, I took out the SIM card (but connected via Wi-Fi), set the date and time manually. Let it sit for 10-30 minutes, then set it back to "Set date and time automatically", again let it sit 10-30 minutes then check for an update.

Only then the update came down. After it was installed I put the SIM back in.
