I thought there were no more insider builds. Went to check out of the blue and there's a .369 build.

Yeah I just read that. Lol oh wells.

Phone is nice but not something I'd use as a main phone. I just bought it cuz it was a fire sale and personally I love the design and works fine for a back up phone especially on Tmo.

Just got this phone recently from the MS fire sale. Signed up for the insider builds and so haven't received any yet and it's been weeks.

Just join insider preview, update to the latest then you can select production and you'll be on the latest "stable" one. You should end up with v1511 build 10856.

I just updated my L635 from the last fast track update and my home screen was spazzing out with multiple artifacts and other display anomalies but it seems everything else is fine. Did a reset and home screen is fine now.

I ended up just using my 635 since it was fixed. Still want a better one though. Was thinking of the 930 also but still too pricey for me.

Honestly, I just used the Lumia recovery tool again and this time it actually worked. I'm not sure why. Previously I've did it multiple times and it never worked. I was on the verge of throwing it again but thought I'd try one more time and I'm glad I did. Hahaha, worked fine then.

I was thinking of the cityman also and the more I read up on it the more I want to just save my money and get that since I got my 635 back working again. Not going to be cheap buying off contract but that's why I rather save the money for it instead of buying the 925. Unless the 925 is $25 or...

Thanks guys for all your input. Much appreciated! Think I'm going to bite and get a used one as it seems to be ok. It won't be a daily driver or only phone so I don't think the battery life will matter too much to me.

Wow, I'm impressed you're still using it but as you said, doesn't sound too bad to me. It's about what I expected. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I'm somewhat of a tech toy geek or at least someone who likes playing with tech toys. I've been on smartphones since the HTC Hero (circa 2009?). I currently have a iPhone 6+ from work and a personal One Plus One. I had a 1020 before but sold it. My next Winmo phone was a 635 when it was...

I'm not an expert but my guess is it has to do w/ some of the apps you've installed. Maybe it's running on bootup and hogging resources. Only way to really test it out is to install apps individually and wait a few days between each app and restarts. Smartphones, especially for those who don't...

How long did you have your original one. If it's a faulty battery, that may affect the weight. You can't really tell for sure the weight difference, if any, without actually weighing both.

Since they allowed unlocks again, you may want to just pay for a unlock if AT&T is being a pain. Beats not being able to use the phone. That or just sell the phone.
