Nokia Lumia 635 Manual

Download the Nokia Lumia 635 manual here. The Nokia Lumia 635 was released in 2014 at the same time as the Lumia 930. Its a bit odd that they released to very high-end phones so close to each other in 2014 which is not normal for Nokia. They usually released a mid-range (which I would think this was marketed as), low end and high-end phone but never two high-end phones at the same time.

Nokia Lumia 635 Manual

The Nokia Lumia 635 was in terms of hardware just a cut under the Lumia 930 model. The Lumia 635 came with the usual connectivity you would expect from a mid-range phone as listed below. The phone is Nokia Lumia 635 Manual light and about the same as most Nokia phones in this range coming in at 134 g (4.73 oz). The phone uses a IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen with 16M colors. The screen resolution is also good at 480 x 854 pixels (~221 ppi pixel density) which is twice as high as a normal cheap mobile phone. The multi touch screen is also covered with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for scratch protection.

Since Microsoft took over Nokia all their phones come out with the Microsoft Windows Phone 8.1 operating system. The Nokia Lumia 635 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 and a Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 processor. The Adreno 305 GPU also comes as standard. All in all a very powerful phone with lots to offer. See also how to Factory Reset the Lumia 630 on this website.

Hardware

The phone also has a microSD card-slot with up to 128 GB of storage ability. The internal storage space and memory is 8 GB with 512 MB/ 1 GB RAM. This phone only has one camera and that is a 5 MP, 2592 х 1944 pixels camera with autofocus. Video on the phone is also very good at 720p@30fps. If you are looking for a more multimedia phone then consider the Nokia Lumia 930 as a option.

Lastly also compare this to the procedures in the Nokia Lumia 900 Manual as well.

Extended Battery Life

If you want your phone’s battery to last longer, there are some steps you can take. Firstly, always make sure your battery is fully charged. Next, turn off any sounds you don’t need. You can do this by swiping down from the top of the screen, tapping on ‘ALL SETTINGS’, then ‘ringtones+sounds’, and choosing which sounds to keep.

Wired Headphones

Also, try to use wired headphones instead of the speakerphone. You can also use a feature called ‘Battery Saver’ which saves power when your battery is low. To turn this on, swipe left from the start screen and tap ‘Battery Saver’. Remember, when your phone is in battery saver mode, you might not be able to change all app settings.

Location Services

If you want to keep location services on but don’t want to use check-in services, go to ‘Settings’, swipe to ‘applications’, tap ‘people’, and switch ‘Use my location’ to off. Be selective with your network connections. Check for new mail less frequently, only turn Bluetooth on when needed, use Wi-Fi instead of mobile data, and stop your phone from scanning for wireless networks.

If you’re using your phone but don’t want to make or receive calls, you can turn on airplane mode. To see which apps are using up your battery, swipe left from the start screen, tap ‘Battery Saver’, and swipe to ‘usage’.

WiFi

Lastly, you can save on data roaming costs by changing your mobile data settings. Using a Wi-Fi connection is usually faster and cheaper than using mobile data. If both are available, your phone will use the Wi-Fi connection. To turn off your mobile data connection, swipe down from the top of the screen, tap ‘ALL SETTINGS’ > ‘cellular+SIM’, and switch ‘Data connection’ to off. Likewise see also the WiGi in the Nokia Lumia 620 User Manual on this website.

Your phone can also be used as a clock and an alarm clock. To set an alarm, swipe left on the start screen, tap ‘Alarms’, tap ‘+’, set the time, fill in the alarm details, and tap ‘save’.

Swipe down from the top of the screen on the start screen, tap ‘ALL SETTINGS’ > ‘network+’ > ‘set’, switch ‘Call forwarding’ to ‘On’, and select where you want to forward your calls.

Call Forwarding

You can also forward calls to your voicemail. Tap ‘Phone’ > ‘Settings’, type in your default voicemail number in the ‘Voicemail number’ box, and switch ‘Call forwarding’ to ‘On’. Then, type in the voicemail number. If you have contacts stored on your SIM card, you can copy them to your phone. Tap ‘People’, tap ‘…’ > ‘settings’ > ‘import from SIM’, and tap ‘import’.

Backup the Nokia Lumia 635

You can also use the ‘Transfer my Data’ app to copy your contacts, text messages, and pictures from your old phone. Your old phone needs to support Bluetooth and the contacts need to be stored in the phone memory, not on the SIM. On your old phone, switch Bluetooth on, and make sure the phone is visible to other devices. On the start screen of your new phone, swipe left, and tap ‘Transfer my Data’. Tap ‘continue’, switch Bluetooth on, select your old phone from the list of found devices, and follow the instructions shown on both phones.

For more info, contact your network service provider.

To automatically back up videos or high-quality photos, you need a Wi-Fi connection. To back up other content, like music, use the Windows Phone app for desktop or Windows Explorer. See also the Nokia Asha 308 Basic Settings on here.
