You need the Insider app to get 63, I see no reason why you shouldn't get it.
I prefer to install build 63 when it will be public because I don't want have the risk of restoring my phone if something goes wrong

have the Lumia 640 and actually had to hard reset it last night in hopes of better battery I hadn't reset when I initially updated to .63 so I'm hoping this helps.
I had roughly 85% before I went to sleep around 11pm last night woke up in the middle of the night on 30% in battery saver mode
I've seen posts saying.63 improved their batteries noticeably so I'm hoping the hard reset I did works

Thanks, here it is:

This includes charging for the last 8 hours.
As I said, battery use states that screen use was almost 60% of use, when the screen was barely on. Most of the drop in battery use occurred during standby, while only checking a couple of texts and battery status every few hours.
28% Background is pretty high. What apps are using the background power? Have you tried disabling background on those. Also what does your Overview page show?
Thanks for the reply. However, I have solved my battery drain problem. I took out the SD card this morning, and the phone is still at 83% after 8 hours of slight use and mostly standby -- no more excessive drain in standby. That's how it was using WP 8.1.
How could the SD card cause battery drain? Could it be a slightly defective card causing constant reading and writing attempts?
I'll try a 16 GB SD card I have laying around at home and see if the problem is reproducible with that one, or if there is really an issue with my 64 GB San Disk card.
I don't understand why some people seemingly get great battery life on the same hardware, when other people do not.

Mine seems to have improved on my 930, but it's still terrible. Going to let it drain out and charge and see what happens. If it will seems crap I'll hard reset
Really, makes no sense.... There was nothing mentioned in build .63 about tweaks to improve battery use, I had .29 & .36 on my 640XL and battery life took a serious hit, even though I'd love to get my 2 Week old 1520 on W10 I refuse to give up great battery life on 8.1 for barely or not getting through the day on a full charge, I can use my 1520 as much as I want through the day and never worry about it running low, a luxury I won't give up, it's one of the big reasons I came back to Windows Phones ��
