Horrible Experience 10536 Lumia 640 XL

[runamuck83]

Having a really hard time with this build on my 640 XL. Runs sluggish. Apps crashing a lot. I can't get Groove to see any of my music on OneDrive. Photos disappearing from the photos app... randomly lost my cell internet APN settings. Had to manually put them in to get it working again. Quite painful all around really....

I've tried clean reset twice. Nothing is helping it.

Anyone else having these type of issues on the 640XL and this build? Surprisingly it works great on my 1520...

Running the same build on my 640 xl. And yes, I have experienced sluggishness and apps sometimes crashes. On my groove music I have local music on my sd card but it doesn't look for it. I have noticed that once groove finishes its initial scanning, it won't scan again anymore. I was also surprised to see that build 10536 runs smoother on my lumia 925

Running latest on two 640xls here. Everything working fine and happy with it. Sometime a little slower than on 8.1 update 2, but expected for a preview.

Maybe I'm just having bad luck. It is working well on my 1520 and 830. Just doesn't seem to be sitting well with the 640XL

How about performing hard reset and give it a fresh start?

And on my 640xl the keyboard has gone crazy. I can type on it but it seems to be jumping around when trying to predict the word I am typing. Very frustrating. Also the photos app pin to the start screen is mis behaving. It will only sshow 2 photos on the tile rather than the ones I have on one drive.

It works mostly well for me. I'm just disappointed that I can't add attachments to apps such as telegram or kik

It must be nice to have all these lovely phones to have Windows 10 Mobile on, haha.
Windows 10 Mobile has been fine for me, if a few stutters, bugs, and inconsistencies.

Do you find issue with various apps being unable to attach pics?

Yes but I believe that was one of the known issues Microsoft talked about that they're working on.

I already reported it through insider hub

Has it been like that for all builds though? I thought about going back to 8.1 and going slow ring this time if it helped to get an older build?

You are not alone guys.

I started a thread about the 640 / 640XL a couple of days ago

No it's just this build or maybe this build and the last one.
If you went back to Slow Ring you'd be on Build 10166 which is ancient at this point.

Yeah I know but I did hear at the time of 10166, Winbeta or one of the enthusiasts site said that 10166 isn't that bad. I really don't want to go back and stick with 8.1 but my notifications aren't working at the moment like they should. Have you noticed notification issues with apps such as Messaging(I am making a topic on this now actually), Kik, telegram with 10536?

I've not noticed any issues myself with notifications but I've heard of them.
I personally wouldn't make the trek back to 10166 as there are even more bugs in that build and performance and battery life will be less. Plus you will probably lose a lot of features (app features) that could possibly be exclusive to the latest build.

You are probably right. Worse comes to worse I can always just upgrade from Slow ring to Fast ring with 10536 right?

Wasn't there an update bug with Build 10166 or was that solved when it went to Slow Ring? I can't remember haha.
