Windows 10: Microsoft Pulls Windows 10 Mobile 10586.29 Update

Microsoft rolled out Windows 10 Mobile 10586.29 earlier this month, but it appears that owners of the new Microsoft flagship phones, Lumia 950 and 950 XL are having some major problems with it.
Microsoft has decided to pull the update from its servers while it investigates the issues and comes up with a way to fix them.

Lumia 950 Still Not Downloading Update

I know Microsoft recently pulled the 10586.29 update due to problems. However, it seems like they have re-published it:

Windows 10 Mobile build 10586.29 is now once again available to download - MSPoweruser

Problem is, now that it is republished, my Lumia 950 is stuck on 0% trying to download the update and I'm having the problems described in this post:

I wasn't having any problems until this morning (December 17). Obviously, this shouldn't be happening now that they've fixed the issue and re-published the update.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do?

Thanks,

Daniel

 

That seems to have become a recurring situation.................... releasing something and then pulling it afterwards.
How does it do to Microsoft image ?
Some heads should be rolling at HQ.

 

Lumia 950 Not Downloading Updates - Low Storage False Indication

I can't imagine Windows phone will be around at all in a few years.

 

I didn't read the article yet but I'm not having any problems on my Lumia 640 XL.

 

If Windows Mobile isn't around in a few years, then I think Microsoft will be in real trouble in the future outside of business applications.

I'm seeing more and more people using big screen phones instead of the PC's for day-to-day computing, and these are techy-type people, not just teens using the latest messaging app fad. Windows Mobile has to work and to be honest, I'm not sure why it isn't working. The 640 is a really nice phone, as is the 640XL which for example is quarter of the price of the iPhone equivalent, with the ability to use Micro SD cards in it (with large capacities cards being pretty cheap now), have it with dual SIM slots, etc.

It baffles me why Windows Phone isn't doing as well as it should, but Windows Mobile has to work. Microsoft can't afford to be out of that game for their future as an OS maker. You only have to look at an Intel NUC i7, then look at Continuum on the 950, and then think where they're both going to go in the next 10-15 years.

However back on topic, I agree with the above poster that Microsoft need to up the QA testing.

 

more power to MS for pulling the update..
the 950's are beasts - massive power..

- best to get things exactly right.. *Wink

the insider 10586.29 runs superbly on the 735, BTW

 

Yikes I did it last night and it worked fine on my Denim phone *Smile

BTW it was 10586.29

 

Has Microsoft been awarded the well established ISO standards to ensure high quality software engineering? It seems an independent audit of Microsoft QA standards may be due?

 

Mine updated just yesterday and running just fine (MS Lumia 640ds)

 

Runnin like a top on my $40 Lumia 635!
