BLU Advance 4.0 L2 - User Reviews

  • there is TWRY recovery By contrerasojuanc,it can root it . , befoe start maybe you should download SP_Flash_Tool and stock rom BLU_A030L_V05_GENERIC

  • Works fine. No problem. The price says it all.

  • Great SIMPLE PHONE, small , if you use only the most common apps (FBLite,Whatsup,Waze )works just fine , very light but sturdy, battery is ok if you just give it a regular use , it can last 2 days due to the fact that the screen has a fair resolution for that size-,

  • THIS IS THE WORST PHONE EVER! I missed important calls and texts, got absolutely no notifications on WhatsApp or of Facebook messenger and it broke easily.. I bent the phone a little and there were black streaks on it. I recommend this phone to NO ONE. you might as well not even have a smartphone. I'm back to using my dumb phone.

  • This phone sucks notifications don't work no matter what I do can't get no SMS MMS or broadcast mgs. Blue needs to do better

  • i suggest that you should sue BLU.

  • it wont be updated because of really low price. it will always stay mashmallow or kitkat, depending where you are.

  • Remove the back cover and place your Sd card with the golden pins facing down and towards the screen (so you dont see the pins from the back) Then slide the card downwards and that's it.

  • WhatsApp and Gmail notifications are working fine on mine. Not updated yet.

  • Can anyone explain to me how to install a Micro sd card at the phone ? I assume I don't get it to install many thanks Best would be a video thanks

  • This is a really bad phone. The android notifications just don´t work. You will never receive gmail and whatsapp notifications. The phone received an update last week, but still doesn´t work. Really, really bad device.

  • how do you update this phone??

  • I'm also having issues with my screen display 4 incoming calls it just started a few wks ago & its frustrating 2 c your phone ring @ least 3 times b4 u can c who's calling!Idk why it does this now aft 3 mos! R there any suggestions 2 a fix 4 this? BLU never responds so I don't even try contacting them anymore! Thx in advance 4 your help!

  • I got this phone a 3 months ago & had issues with memory also! I couldn't understand bc I had the BLU Dash 4.0 1st (older) & all the apps I tried installing on the Advance were already on my Dash (same memory 4 both) yet they wouldn't fit! I got a 16GB mem card, formatted it as internal mem & have hella rm 4 anything i want now! I need 2 know where's the msg indicator light? I've never seen a phone w/o missed call, msg light! If u can help plz do, I'm tired of missing calld & txts! Thx!

  • I am unable to change my language from Chinese to English. Please help ASAP.

  • nope thats ram

  • I am not getting screen display, therefore I never know who is calling. This just happened a few days ago. Never seen this before.

  • Yup it has flash

  • does this phone have a flash

  • From what I read in the description 4GB storage, 512mb ram. Back in my day, IBM computers has 512K, which William Gates III said was enough for anyone.

  • 512 Mb ... not too much

  • How many internal memory free have this phone to install apps??

  • Well, i don't know what is happening, Whatsapp and Gmail works fine here...

  • Hi there, when I said that I tried everything I was referring to clear cache, clear data, adding SD card, uninstalling and reinstalling apps, gmail account log out and log in, factory reset, disabling restrict data background, disabling battery optimization. Nothing worked, gmail doesn't receive notifications, whatsapp receive notifications for a short period of time and then stops receiving until I manually open it. Another thing, whatsapp doesn't start automatically when I turn on the phone.

  • Well said bro, just to warn for those that use Battery Saver, 80% of apps that runs while the phone is off like Whatsapp or Gmail, if you want to receive the notifications, DISABLE IT! I had a Moto E (1st gen.) and when i enabled it, i couldn't receive any Whatsapp notifications... btw, this BLU Advance 4.0 L2 is a great phone for the price, the only downside is the RAM, i don't take any photos anyway :P

  • I had that problem too a while ago until i realized that my problem was I had on my battery saver after i turned it off i started getting my notifications normally hope this helps

  • I have this phone too and i don't have any problems with whatsapp, i was having problem with Google Apps but it's fixed... really don't know what are you guys doing.

  • Hello ! I think there is no solution yet. I gave up ! I can't fix it by myself. BLU should pay more attention to this problem. One good alternative is the Alcatel Pixi 4 4" It works very fine and has 1 Mb ram.

  • i just bought this phone for my beautiful daughter, and now I am worried. She uses whats app

  • I bought this phone and I'm having the same problems as you.. Gmail and Whatsapp are not receiving messages automatically. I have to manually open and check to receive the messages which makes the phone useless for me. I already wrote to Blu service explaining the problem but no answer from them, that´s really disappointing. I tried EVERY solution I found to similar problems but nothing worked. If I find a solution I will post it here, please do the same. But I think that there is no solution from the user side, we need a new custom build update probably.

  • I have a blu advance 4.0 L2 My friend bring it for me overseas I can't get WhatsApp to work and something's it restart my it self when one thing is working the other is not please is there someone who know how to solve it

  • I have thus phone. It is good for the price, but, I just can not get gmail and WhatsApp working on this phone. Even after the firmware update. My version is BLU_A303L_V12_GENERIC 16-05-2016 14:02 Waiting for the BLU support response

  • Hi guys! I have one of this device and I am facing serious problems with the Google atore. Did some one here know how to fix it ? Thank you

  • problem solved now updated 1 may everything is fine now

  • its ok guys BLU fixe the google store lets go buy the best budget phone run pretty good : ) evrethink is fine now

  • I don't understand, I mean, do you get to update inmedeately after turning on the phone or does it still need that update?

  • This is perhaps the cheapest unlocked phone running marshmallow 6.0. The phone gets a OTA update and fixes the google play problem some people are having. Most affordable phone to try out android 6.0.

  • I have the same problem I'm wondering if the regular android will work on the BLU Advance 4.0 L2 & if it will solve the problem

  • Removable Li-Ion 1200

  • and.... (By Cherry on April 30, 2016) Like it but it has problems. Style Name: Global GSM (L)Color: Green Verified Purchase It has a problem with updating Google Play Services, so Google Maps, Google Keep, Pushbullet and who knows what other Google Play apps it won't play with . I was on the phone with Google tech support and we spent a half hour trying to get past it. Hard resets don't work. I get the dreaded error 505, won't load. Google Play Services version on this phone is from 2015 and it's old, while trying to work with Android 6. We need an OTA patch to let it update Google Play Services and this phone is perfect as a sub $100 Android phone that works globally and locally on multiple GSM carriers. I ordered a new one to see if it just my phone. Will update when I have more. . error 505, fix it blu please

  • Removable Li-Ion 1300 mAh battery and about memory ram really good optimization 75mb system 75mb apps and 310mb free really good
