Can someone tell me how to disable audible and vibration notification for prompts to back up the phone? The stupid phone has woken me up at 2:00 a.m. a couple of times this way. I've looked through the various settings menus but haven't found a way to silence these things, or at least make...

10166 is stable and usable on my 635. And, for whatever reason, the installation process for it went more smoothly than it did on my 640.

Edge on my 640 isn't as bad as IE on my 635, but I am still experiencing lots of pages that spontaneously reload after I start scrolling down, then after this happens a few times it pops up a message that tells me that I have better things to do than watch the page not load, so it's giving up...

I own both the 635 and the 640. I don't play games, so can't comment on that. For me, the 635 was almost unusable as a web browser, crashing frequently. The 640 is much better, though still not perfect (initially using IE, now Edge). The screen is nicer, the camera is somewhat better, and...

Who is "they"? The phone doesn't have to be bought from Walmart. You just go to the T-Mobile Prepaid website, order the correct sim card for your phone, then once you get it, sign up for the $30 plan on T-Mobile's website. You can't do it at a T-Mobile store.

I've been on the $30 plan for a few years; it works just as well on a T-Mobile Lumia 640 purchased at WalMart as it does on a T-Mobile Lumia 635 from Amazon or a Nexus 4 from the Google Play Store. Just move the sim card from phone to phone. You can tell that the plan is a good deal by how...

Anyone know if this promo can be applied in any way to an existing, ongoing Office 365 subscription?

The most recent reviews of the Wells Fargo app are all complaints that the app stopped working with the most recent Windows Phone OS update. So you're probably going to be out of luck until WF's developers get around to fixing the app.

Thanks for the tip. The app showed that a couple of the half dozen or so closest stores had the phones in stock, and I was able to pick one up this afternoon.

"The bad news here is it looks like T-Mobile retails stores will not be stocking the phones on their shelves. Instead, the Lumia 640 is listed as a 'Ship to (direct fulfillment)' system. That means T-Mobile will order it for you online or via telesales, and then either ship it directly to you or...

They're getting bested by carriers in countries that barely have indoor plumbing. Ridiculous.

I don't know who or what he's supposed to be, but someone should tug on his beard and ask if he knows why the hell it's taking so long for the 640/640XL to be made available in the US of A. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

It puzzles me why there aren't more people complaining about the browser crashing. My 635 is almost worthless for reading web pages that are long enough to require scrolling; it almost always will crash once I start moving down the page. I keep wondering if I am somehow inadvertently causing...

Frys is selling the AT&T 635 for $27 if you have a promo code, through May 2.

I would wait for the 640, personally. It won't be as cheap, but it won't be as compromised as the 635 is (insufficient RAM, no camera flash, etc.) Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
