New software update for Lumia 640 & Lumia 640 XL: 02177.00000.15184.36xxx/8.10.15148.160

I think you have misread my posts slightly... what I would like to see is NOT a date when the next update will be made available, but the date when the LAST update was made available, which is a different thing altogether.

Microsoft already publish a list of the latest updates available for the main networks on a country by country basis, and I think it would be helpful if the date of that update was given also.

This would also help folk who might be visiting that particular page for the first time, to see if the update is relatively new, or has been around for some time.

Oh, and not that it really matters at all, but I have grown up with Nokia phones over a very long time, and as I said before, I am certainly not trying to chase anyone up, or asking what is coming next, but I am sure that most users like to know that their particular phone is running the latest and most up to date firmware available.

Hi armagonfin :

I plan to buy Lumia 640 Dual SIM model RM-1113 from Expansys. My question to you is, will it support WIFI calling on T-Mobile USA , as there is a article which says , WIFI calling enabled with the build

New software update for Lumia 640 & Lumia 640 XL: 02177.00000.15184.36xxx/8.10.15148.160 , as per the article which you published on 2nd June which also says,

we have started rolling out a new software update for Lumia 640 & Lumia 640 XL. You can find the update instructions & update availability details from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en/mobile/support/software-update/wp8-software-update/

Latest software release for Nokia Lumia 640 is Lumia Denim (02177.00000.15184.36xxx/8.10.15148.160):

• Voice over LTE support enabled for selected operators.
• Native Wi-Fi calling support enabled for EE  UK and T-Mobile USA.
• Additional improvements to stability, audio quality, Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity, national roaming, and more.

so if T-Mobile does not support DUAL SIM, how can I get the update  OTA ?. or is it meant only for Single SIM T-Mobile phone?

if I buy this phone, is there any way I can connect to Microsoft and down load the latest  build to support WIFI calling on T-Mobile. ?

Thanks for your time.

Please clarify.

Dear Microsoft,

My Lumia 640 LTE (RM-1072_1006) can't connect to HSPA+ network after latest update. Before updated, it could connect to HSPA+. Now, it only able to connect to Edge & HSPA (LTE not yet ready for my network operator). I have tried switch the sim card to another Lumia phone (Lumia 620 with the latest update too), and the HSPA+ can connected on Lumia 620. So, the problem is not the network, but I think because of the latest update on my Lumia 640 LTE. Can you please give me solution for my phone problem?

… see if the update is relatively new, or has been around for some time …

Sorry, I still do not get it: What is the benefit of that? Or stated differently: Please, give an example how the list should like and which conclusion you are able to draw then.

I assume a misunderstanding which I would like to rectify. You cannot conclude from the previous dates to the timespan of the next update. Therefore, it does not make any sense to call your airtime provider when it comes to firmware updates. Or: Are you about the date when the firmware version was released for your firmware variant, and the amount of time until the update message arrived at your phone? Or: Are you about an easier versioning scheme to know which version is the same (and not confused by these build numbers behind the last digit)?

  in the Software Recovery Tool, what is your 7-letter product code (059…)? No Windows computer or USB: The same code is printed on your phone (underneath the battery cover). That code determines your firmware variant which determines your current version. We can check together whether the update is available for your firmware variant already, only with that code.

I have an unbranded Lumia 640 purchased from Expansys. My phone is..

Lumia 640 LTE Dual SIM RM-1113

Product Code 059x1B3

OS 8.10.15127.138

Firm 02166.00000.15103.05001

Hardware 2.1.7.2

I'm on the Tmobile network and I haven't gotten the WIFI calling update. Any help would be appreciated.
