    Lumia 640 (US T-Mobile RM-1073) Slow Wi-Fi Connection

    This may not be a solution if you have a genuine Wi-Fi issue, but with experimentation on recently restoring from fast, to 8.1 then to release ring, my apps stalled out overnight until I checked my Microsoft account in the settings menu. After I opened it (did not have to change anything), the...

    Why shouldn't I drop Windows Phone

    W10M slow ring was stable enough for me on my L532, but too many bugs for the L640 on fast ring. Being required to rollback to 8.1 to return the 640 to the slow ring, I actually decided to stay on 8.1, and unless required to maintain support for Skype in the future, plan to stay on 8.1...

    Mail notification on locked screen gone

    Same problem here. I believe the last 3 fast ring builds have broken all lock screen notifications running on my L640. It's been such an annoyance (and reported to MSFT), that I happily rolled back to 8.1 yesterday, and probably indefinitely. Having to monitor 2-3 hundred emails a day with my...

    Line appearing on my Lumia 532 screen, how can I get rid of it?

    Re: line appearing on my lumia 532 screen Update, and possible solution... I've been using the slow ring for my 532 and fast ring on my 640, which I'm planning to roll it back to slow. Two features that I've turned off seem to have improved upon or eliminated the white dots, and the black...

    Line appearing on my Lumia 532 screen, how can I get rid of it?

    Re: line appearing on my lumia 532 screen I recently bought a 532 and immediately updated it to the fast ring and saw no issue prior. I noticed a white dot at top and bottom center, would grow to small white lines, and worst case become a black line stretching the center of the display. A...

    Sales wise, I wonder how this phone is doing?

    I'll take battery life over speed most days off the week. Updating it to Redstone since it's eligible and will compare it to my 640 running 10586.164. I hope the 2Gb of ram proves helpful.

    Sales wise, I wonder how this phone is doing?

    It's not the fastest, but it seems to help the battery life. Too soon for me to tell if I'll need to recharge daily. Currently updating to Redstone since it's eligible. I still think it was worth supporting Alcatel, and look forward to seeing what they release next.

    Sales wise, I wonder how this phone is doing?

    Just picked up the Alcatel Fierce XL today at my local T-Mobile store. I chose it over a used 640 XL for the same price. Decided to support both an OEM and T-Mobile with this purchase seeing how things have been going this year with w10m. Having it only a few hours now, what I miss the most are...
