New Firmware watch thread

[slysy]

Still nothing for UK 000GB

 

[Pete]

Next round of firmware updates will appear on the 19th.

Looks as though this date has slipped for some reason, which is why Microsoft don't publish dates up front for this kind of thing. Sorry if I misled anyone, I've been hammering the update button all yesterday too.

No problem, you gave the information in good faith Do you know when the planned revised date is please?

Kinda frustrating to have to wait for this firmware when my device is unbranded / sim free

Chill Pete. Not an issue at all. I'm surrounded by areas that got it a couple of weeks ago! The upside? Lots of TP's to play with.

I'll ask when I happen to speak with my guy again. Obviously I don't want to hammer him with questions all the time. Hopefully it won't be too much longer. He teased me about the double-tap that he was testing at the start of April, but he's still using the power button just out of habit.

Actually my 950XL is behaving itself pretty well so I don't have a huge need for this firmware - I got out of the double-tapping habit a couple of months ago.

Finally, it's available through OTA, 950xl US region.

Just seen this on another thread, so maybe there was a limited release yesterday after all. We'd have to wait for more people to post to confirm.

I see the update being available on WDRT for my US CV. I'll flash it in the evening. Nothing through OTA.

Nothing this am in MA

 

[Mark Kaplan]

Nothing here yet. 950 XL DS US Dallas.

 

[PepperdotNet]

I flashed mine to the LTA 7R last week. I'm waiting to see when the NAM 4R is available OTA, then will try registry editing to see if I can switch back to it without flashing again.

If that works, I'll update my "tired of waiting" tutorial because that would be a lot easier.

 

[Mad Cabbie]

Still nowt in UK OTA or WDRT

Alright for some!! UK nothing! Considering EU variants are pretty similar, including radio, its a large chunk of an area where WP has been, traditionally, a good seller. Gutted....

 

[Zolotoy]

Nothing in Chicago.

Nothing in Chicago.

Yeah, I wonder if anyone has a confirmed 950XL DS, NAM CV, 059X505, that flashed OTA...
Still trying to hold out, my accidental flash to 16082 and reset was enough resets for me, this month, or many months really, if I can avoid it.

I see lots of "me too" stuff, or some anyway, and it's hard to tell, were they the ones purchased from B&H and similar, the "illegal" International models? ;-]

I have the same version. Checking update 10 times/day for the past couple of days haha. Don't know what I'll do with my life after OTA update, and AU =))

I updated one of our two 950 XLs via WDRT. The device is working well, although even though I had backed the phone up before the update the restore only restored part of the configuration. After reconfiguring everything the phone is fast and the battery usage is good. Here is what is now running:

Good to hear I'm not the only one suffering the insanity of "check for update syndrome" ;-]

Yeah, PJL99, that's exactly why I don't want to do a WDRT, last time I think it took me several days to ferret out the last of the "missed" settings from my backup/restore.
I wish this would get fixed, for all kinds of reasons, the least of which having to do a reset wouldn't be so painful.

I did the same. Updated via WDRT and tried to restore via backup with only partial success. Had to redo my start screen and had close to 200 Apps that needed updating. I updated the software through to the latest Threshold version then was able to use the Windows Insider app to switch over to the 393 version of Redstone. The phone is working great ! Very fast. DTTW works great...didn't realize how much I missed it. Still having a BT issue with my Band 2 and the speaker on my phone still sounds terrible (was hoping both of these would be resolved with the new FW). Overall, very happy with the phone. Also re-enabled Windows Hello and it seems to be very quick to unlock the phone as well.
