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

[InsGadget]

Agreed. Lost a lot of pictures before realizing the SD card was eating them for nourishment. Come on AT&T/MS.

 

[kwajr]

correct, but only to AT&T branded devices. AT&T cannot do squat to a 950 that is factory unlocked. That is where the disconnect between you and BJD223 is coming into play. your response, while it makes sense for the AT&T branded devices, it reads as if AT&T is blocking all 950's, which they can't.

Sir you are simply wrong

To each their own.... unbranded, unlocked US 950's have already begun recieving the update, at&t branded have not.

in the end it really doesn't matter, we are still stuck waiting. (plus, this thread is the ONLY one that mentions AT&T blocking updates on non-at&t phones.)

AT&T 950 here, no firmware yet. I am curious as to the issues others are having with firmware version 29031. I haven't had any issues at all. Regular 950 and no freezes or reboots. My browser is very fast too, although I browse exclusively in mobile mode.

Are there apps that lag and crash, or are we talking general OS failures that I will run into in the future? I've only had the device for about 9 days now but it works as intended.

I've been loyal to WP due to it's stability, but if w10 is soon going to turn my device into an android glitchy device, I'm not going to be happy.

My biggest grievance is the camera, particularly video. Especially since the camera is one of the high features of this phone. My video capture is awful, quality is grainy and the autofocus only works some of the time. If turn on the digital stabilization, the quality actually gets worse.

It's not that at&t blocks it. It's Microsoft not releasing it to users without their approval. If they did they could break certification contracts and at&t could block these phones from connecting to their network. you get your phone imei's entered once phones are certified. At&t may not care about their phones that are not selling through them and just say "Go ahead". But the even the xl had to be verified and imeis added initially.

Anyways good read. http://www.ecnmag.com/article/2012/07/cellular-carrier-certification-requirements

How does apple get away with it? All updates are pushed by them with no carrier waiting.

 

[x I'm tc]

They have a phone that people want so they twisted the carriers' arms.

Apple actually tests their updates on all carriers on their own. It's part of an agreement they made I assume.

Outlook mail has stopped working completely and every time I open messaging it crashes. I'm also getting errors about a corrupted SD card. I hope they release some kind of fix soon, I've committed to using this for work.

Options:
1: If you are not an insider, join and download the latest build. This should reinstall outlook.
2: Reset the phone.

Also, are you sure the SD card is not defective? In any case, you will probably need to format it.

I'm an insider and on the latest build. As for my SD card, all my music is on it and I listen to it 4-5 days a week in the gym. It's been working fine as of this morning.

Patience my friend. I am on Orange Romania and yesterday I have received the firmware update on my 950, after 3 weeks MS released it. So just wait for it, it will come.

 

[uselessrobot]

As much as I want the update I'm almost afraid to get it. My phone has been relatively stable for over a month now and I don't want to see that get ruined with this update.

 

[smartass1379]

Has anyone checked to see if its available through WRT? I think it would show up there first.

 

[ashram]

don't have my USB-C cable on me.... i should really buy another to keep at work for this exact type of reason. I recall the AT&T 830 getting the update in WDRT about a week or 2 before OTA.... for a day or 2 and then it was pulled.

 

[maevinj]

There isn't a new firmware for the AT&T 950 in WDRT. I just checked.

 

[MiloTheOne]

Well they can't do any worse than the Lollipop releases... ATT Android users were waiting SOO long...

Simple, they do the testing quietly, and say nothing about an update being available, until they release it simultaneously everywhere.

If Microsoft followed the same methodology, maybe there would be fewer complaints, but none of us would have the new firmware yet. The only reason people are complaining is because some "lucky" people got it already and they didn't.

apple actually built a facility for testing Apple's $100 Million iPhone Test Chambers and i do not believe many other phone manufacturers have. So apple can handle a vast majority of the tests before carriers get them in hand. this is quite possibly the ONLY good thing you will EVER see me type about apple.
