Hi Everyone, I have a Lumia 640 XL and i am facing an issue with the video mode capturing less light as compared to the still mode. What I mean is that the scene as we view on the screen in video mode has significantly less light as compared to the scene in the still mode. This happens indoors...

Also, there is less difference in light in video and still mode when pointing towards a light source. See example below - Still Mode Video Mode Again, away from light, the difference in amount of light in the scene is huge. This makes the video camera practically useless in even in...

Hi Everyone, I have updated the phone to W10M and have subsequently done a hard reset as well. The issue still persists on the new windows camera app. Indoors, when the ambient light is not the most idle but not low by any means, the video camera picks significantly less light as compared to...

I haven't done a hard reset yet. I see the problem occurs only when the light is bit less or when shooting in shadow regions. In bright lights like malls and in daylight, both the still and video modes are identical. In a bit low light, the video goes very dark. Also, in the 24fps mode, the...

Looks like there is a bug in the Lumia camera app and I have found a resolution for it. The problem occurs if you select 25fps or 30fps setting in video mode. The video turns dark and looses all the dynamic range. Switch to 24fps and everything is fine. This needs to be fixed but need to know...

Thanks for the reply. My problem is that by no means the light in my room can be considered dim but still the video mode picks up very less light as compared to still mode. Does your phone behave the same? Which OS are you running WP8.1 or W10M? This is really bad performance and unacceptable...

Hi Friends, I was just playing around with Lumia camera on my 640 xl under adequately lit room condition(artificial light) and I have just noticed that the dynamic range in video mode is just too low on my phone. The moment I switch to video mode, the whole scene is just so dark when compared to...

Good to hear that but, do you as well hear creaks or ticks from the back panel when you kind of twist the phone a bit? If yes, did you have them from the very beginning or did they develop over time?

Thanks Derausgewanderte for your prompt reply. You are always the first one to come to my rescue. I appreciate your help. It sounds like there are more 640 Xl users with creaking back covers and loose batteries. Honestly, I am disappointed by microsoft's product quality. Given the fact that they...

Hello Everyone, It's been about two months with my Lumia 640 XL and I have started noticing that whenever i use my phone and have my fingers press against the back with just a bit of pressure, i feel ticks and slight creaks here and there, not in a specific pattern or area but at random points...

The issue could be in a specific model of 640 xl like dual sim 3g, single sim lte and dual sim lte. Are both your models same? Mine is dual sim lte.

That's probably a better design for the proximity sensor to work. My tempered glass could be slightly misaligned covering some part of the sensor, making it less sensitive. I'll do some more research to get some more surety and will then pull out the glass.

I visited the service center yesterday and reported the issue with the loudspeaker of my phone. The service center guy immediately responded saying that all the phones have this crackling issue in loudspeaker mode when the volume is turned all the way up. I disagreed saying that my old lumia 920...

Thanks for replying. Although, its a new phone and it looks highly unlikely but i'll still try factory reset to fix the speakerphone issue before going to the service center. What do you suggest?

Hello Friends, I have just bought a new 640 XL and i am seeing two issues in it - First - The voice over rear speaker of the phone crackles a bit in speakerphone mode during a call with volume set to more than 7. Here is a thread that talks about speaker crackling issue but mine does it more...
