yup, lost me too...

Is there a way to determine when my L640 was first activated and battery use time?

I am following this debranding on xda developers where others report that Band 12 is showing as an option but is not working in known areas of Band 12 being active. They turned off all but Band 12 and had no signal. Could there be different HW versions? For those who can verify Band 12 working...

Unbranded an ATT 640 and while it did add Band 12 to the phone, a side by side comparison of a branded and unbranded version of the 640 on TMobile network produced no better reception based on RSSI field test numbers. It does add wifi calling for those on TMo.

Flashing roms seems a bit over my head. I am from the generation of corded phones and pay phones on the street corner. Called daughter today and she answered with a fine howdy do. Gremlins in her phone??

it is unlocked att running on lycamobile which is a tmobile mvno running 8.1

I don't see the option to be able to disable/enable phone app running in background. I see it for others like Cortana, Facebook, Gadgets...

Installed Win10 Insider on L521. A little slow compared to the L640 but workable and Edge seems pretty snappy. Still can't find way to add swype keyboard to Edge or have it work properly in messaging. Is this a know problem or am I simply cursed?

re: Lumia 640 Bugs & Defects Have 3 640s in the family. 2 stock and one on Insiders Win10. The Win10 phone gives a reading about bad charger/slow charging. The charger works fine on the other stock phones. I may have to experiment with reverting to Win 8.1 to see if the issue resolves. Has...

Error message on L640 Insider latest build as of 12/26/15. "device is charging slowly (to speed up charging use the charger and cable that came with your device)" I am using original charger and even checked with another charger that doesn't give error on stock Lumia 640. Where can I report...

We have 2 Lumia 640s in the family. I am now experiencing the same message about slow charging and warning to use the original charger/cable on the Win 10 Insider phone 36 update. My daughter reported this error message when using an old LG charger on her 640 Win 8.1 stock phone. This LG charger...
