Have someone installed the latest insider preview build 10536 on their Lumia 640? Any major device specific bugs which can be the show stopper for use in a daily driver? Is it as fast as 8.1 ? Please tell people as I plan to install this build in my 640.
 
Performance looks good at first. But this is on a test phone so cannot comment on daily driver status.
 
Have been using build 10512 on 640 for the past few weeks and performamce has been great.Am installing build 10536 now which can only be better.Shall comment later

Is it a little faster compared to 8.1, and how is the battery usage? Please, share your experience after you test the latest build :)
 
I Would say performance is getting better with each build.10536 isn't as smooth as 8.1 on my 640.Buts its getting closer and certainly doesn't lag.cant comment on battery life just yet,but last build was good,usually full 24 hrs.Mind you I turn off a lot of background apps and don't use glance.Its a nice build so far on my 640.No noticeable bugs,but messaging was missing when I first installed which caused me some problems.Overall I say it's worth the jump from 8.1
 
pretty good actually! but not as fluid as 8.1,
no heating issues so far. the default messeging app is still there. Actually i updated to build 10536 from 8.1 , which ended up in blank loading start screen.then i hardreset it, then everything back to normal
 
My only problem with this build is the battery drains noticeable faster on this build. I'll give the battery a few more days before judgement hopefully it gets better but right now it's noticeable Drain. But I can deal with it until he next build honestly. I don't think I could go back to 8.1 after using 10 for so long
 
Am using Win10 TP for the first time on Lumia 640..did a hard reset before installing this build.... Update download is fast but to install it took about 2 hours.... Overall performance is good... Though there are some issues. Am using on it daily driver and no problems so far...
 
Any chance you can comment on how to add an account/calendar with caldav?

I know icloud works, but, the icloud "hack" no longer works after the 8.1.1 update I got a while back.

My company only has imap and caldav for mobile users. I cringe a the delay of using memotoo these days as a caldav relay for exchange
 
I'm seeing loading screens EVERYWHERE. Like, even for basic core apps such as the dialer, people hub, and messaging. Anyone else?
 
Updated to 10536 2 days ago, from 8.1.2. First tried without a hard reset, but to get rid of loading time after switching on did hard reset. No effect on loading time, still >10 minutes. But after that not many problems, some apps don't update in store, some apps have several seconds resume time, very well usable for daily driver!
Update:
There's no way to control glance, not even via sysapp pusher.
Battery use not stable, sometimes it gets hot, OK after restart.
Data sense does not count my cellular data use, only Wifi.
The loading time after switch on has become much shorter now!

I have installed build 10536. First there where no problems - now there are a lot. FYI all pictures and apps are installed on my SD-Card. When I click on Pictures or the app Soundhound nothing happens. It just returns to home page. I moved Soundhound from SD Card to Telephone but still no improvement! I am disappointed about all this as the previous build did not have that kind of problems.

I made a reset to factory twice and now I can see the photos. However now there is no SMS service! How can I get that back?
 
Now I made a hard reset through Windows Recovery Tool downgrade to 8.1. Then updated to build 10549 and after another restart everything seems to work fine.
