re: Is WM10 stable enough for daily use?
Hello,
I have a Lumia 640 DS and went insider because i waited long enough... :winktongue:
I got mine in July last year as a gift. I was android user before 640. I had a long list of Nokia's in the past ( from 3310 to C7 with belle OS
)
I was really satisfied with 8.1 and enjoyed using it ! ! Never worried about app gap, because i don't need much of that, just a basic set ( facebook , viber, skype and office stuff )
But, i was waiting for W10 like all of you, that was one big reason for me switching to windows.
I started believing in rumors , November, December, January, February... and i had it! ( Was checking Windows Central daily :grincry: )
Went insider yesterday.
So ... My opinion on W10...
( I joined in Release/Preview Ring (slowest and safest) and got .107)
IT IS EPIC! 640 is made for this! Actually, my phone works better... :shocked:
I read about all problems other people have/had and i have none of it... It is really new level...
But, you have to do it right to work like that.
First , i did hard reset before joining insider then updated.
After update to win10 phone things were awful! random reboots, apps crashing, in one word , i wanted to throw my phone at the wall.
Then i tried to do one more hard reset before rollback to 8.1 aaaaaaand it was reborn, new OS completely ! Everything works! No crashes no reboots, it just works! *No resuming screen also*
Double tap to wake works well, store is a bit slower ( in 8.1 also was :grin: ) , edge is ok, maybe a little tweaks needed ( hell, IE was worse ) better web page rendering and loading, camera works great, flashlight works :grin: ...
Store updated 28 apps after hard reset with no problems, both connections work ( Mobile data and WiFi ) no data leaks from mobile network.
Facebook app works, Viber works, Outlook mail sync works , Calendar is ok and syncs with Facebook, reminders work, alarms work...
So do you update/enroll ? yes , go for it , there is also a small possibility of risk, but i personally think that other than maybe one or two resets or app crashes not much can happen.
Battery, i almost forgot, it is EPIC! OK, so , Skype, Facebook, Viber, E mail in background with some use and with 3-4 phone calls, 10-15 sms, viber calls and msgs, 10-15 min gaming , wifi on all the time my battery dropped from 100 % ( 8 am ) to 66 % ( 7 pm ). I am shocked! It works better.
In the end : RESET, UPDATE, RESET !
* again, this is for Lumia 640 and i dont know how will work on other Lumias *
