BLU Dash 4.0 - User Reviews

  • my phone speaker kicks in and won't allow me privacy when speaking to persons. what should I do to solve this problem ??

  • I would not recommend this phone to anyone. I had it less than a year and it has problems with charging. I tried several different cords and it didn't change anything. Spend your money on something else!!

  • Not phone I would recommend. Has a bad camera (front and back, can't install Google Play Services, so certain apps wont work to its fullest, and a low flashlight. But it is a strong phone. I've dropped it plenty of times on concrete and it didn't crack.

  • takes bad pictures and has a horrible flashlight.

  • I have had this phone for close to a year. It is fine for simple tasks but if you run a lot of app's, it gets real slow. When using the browser to search and once it loads the web page you want before you can say momma it crashes back to your wallpaper. This phone is fine for people that use the web occasionally. Battery life is Very Poor when using the wifi/ web I have to recharge twice a day. You are best to spend an extra hundred bucks if you can afford to and get a better faster phone with more RAM and faster processor.

  • I am having problems with hearing the other person through the phone. I can only hear them with the speaker on or with the head phones. Can u please tell me what to do?

  • I am having problems with hearing the other person through the phone. I can only hear them with the speaker on or with the head phones. Can u please tell me what to do?

  • That's because its probably new...wait a couple weeks and the phone will start lagging and stuff

  • how to upgrade blu dash 4.0

  • Does the Blu dash 4.0 have a WiFi HotSpot?

  • How can a recorded sound be made into a ringtone?

  • you can take a screen shot by holding on the lock button, and simultaneously holding the volume down button

  • Its a good phone but how do u take screenshots?

  • The screen doesn't stay on while I am talking, so how do I get it to stay on? and where do I see my messages and how do I delete old ones? Not able to access things well.

  • I had this problem, too. The larger sim card (don't punch it out of the card) slides directly in the space where the battery connects. (under sim 1) take out battery and slide it at the connection grid.

  • does it take pictures nice , cause im paying dwn on one

  • the blu dash 4.0 is a really great and cheap phone so stop posting rubbish in the comments about poor and these things.. it play every single high end game on the play store and it has a pretty sweet speed too.. i do agree that the battery and flash is not really strong but in reality its really powerful.. i played fifa 14, dead space and even need for speed most wanted on this phone !!

  • Yea the camera is really bad but it is an older phone so what do u expect

  • I love blue dash.its da best phone I have ever had.

  • that means wireless network is available

  • How do you screenshot on this phone

  • Yes

  • Is it able to bbm?

  • If u want to buy my blue advance 4.0, you are welcome to it

  • Save your money. This phone isn't worth it. It freezes! 512MB of ram? You might want to get a phone with 1gb of ram. Don't try to find developer love for this phone. there is 1 Custom ROM for this phone, and it is TouchWiz flavored.

  • Pros: Large screen Cons: It is very slow, it freezes all the time, and it will smell like smoke after 1 hour of usage. The SD Card slot is faulty, battery life lasts for no longer than 2 hours if left on (half an hour if you are playing games), the camera DOES NOT record at 720p @ 30fps. It records at 240p @ 7fps. There are many glitches and bugs, the microphone records horribly, it is bad at receiving wifi signals, the phone can randomly set alarms at any day, any time (like when I woke up at 6:24 am on a Sunday or when I woke up at 5:25 am on Wednesday), the touchscreen half of the time doesn't work, and the phone does not support any video quality higher than 720p. Not even your worst enemy deserves to use this phone.

  • The camera is not as good as it is.

  • Go into browser and type in: www.whatsapp/android.com And then u good to go after. Just follow thestep after installation... Good Luck...

  • I brought tghis in August so I have the icecreamsandwhich version.. i wsas wondering if it can be updated to jellybean?

  • it means a wi fi connection is available

  • Thats your wifi asking you if you want to connect to a available connection...when you leave from wifi spot to another..

  • there is a question mark on top of my phone what does it mean? i cant connect to my wireless earpiece?

  • behind the battery on the right

  • can some one tell me if this phone has bbm also

  • Its ram module is 512 mb but the usable amount that blu set is 341mb.so its really supposed to be more b ut for some reason I guess the gave it 341. And imagine the ipod touch has 256 mb of ram and runs perfectly and android devices need all this ram to perform optimaly.

  • So, maybe I missed it. Can somebody please tell me where the SD card goes on this Smart phone? Can't find it in the Owner's manual.

  • This was my first Android Smartphone, and I must say, this phone makes Android look terrible! This is the worse phone I've ever purchased. It lags a lot, and it has the WORSE music experience ever! (Music skips, cuts off, equalizer shuts down regularly, sound toggles from earphones to handset speaker on its own, starts on its own without user initiation, AND A LOT MORE!) The phone goes on silent without your consent, so if you are to get an important phone call, consider that call missed! If you are considering buying this phone just to make and receive calls, all well and good, but to use as a smart phone, I'd advise that you look for something better. Regards!

  • Hi, I just bought blue dash 4.0 and I have been trying to get whatsapp download on my phone but I can't just get the right one. I usually get message that is not compatible or not available in my country. Please, kindly suggest to me where to get the right one.

  • Yes it does

  • Press the volume down key while pressing the powerooff button

  • Pls I am in need of an Andriod phone. Pls can any 1 help?

  • skype is not working properly the calls just drop ALL D TIME

  • I totally agree with nick. and i mean totally.

  • It is

  • Lies

  • Hate this phone...for starters, it only has 340M of RAM, so if I install a lot of app on this phone, like I did, then the RAM gets filled guickly and the phone will start to lag. Most of the time the apps force close. Even simple app will just stop working.. The flash is next to none; it barely works The battery life isn't that good either...some days I have to chage it 3 times!! Affer using an app then pressing the home botton, then app shortcuts on the home screen will take like 30s to come up. And while you are waiting for the apps to come up you can't even scroll throw th home screen or anything. Its like the phone just freezes....and all yhese prblems Eddyaer having the phone for like a month

  • Why do you say that the camera is 5 mp when is not?

  • LED flash is not bright as other phones, very dim, camera is bad for night pictures. besides that everything runs fine.

  • the device use android, and you can install android app.

  • Can this phone be used on instagram and oovoo >

  • So this has the google play store? Are you able to download apps like snapchat, instagram etc...?

  • Yes, in fact, it comes with whatsapp preinstalled, I had also line, viber, skype and they works good in that phone, but sometimes there's some lag, mostly when there are a lot of background apps, that why I decided uninstall Viber because is a very system consuming app. But in general, the phone works very good.

  • can u download watsapp and facebook on this phone

  • my shot down should i do

  • reason is the software... the generic v4 rom has the green notification bar and updated generic v6 rom has the blue notification bar... they ar both stock ROMs

  • Theres an app for that

  • I realized that there are 2 types of BLU Dash 4.0 BLU Dash 4.0 D270a and BLU Dash 4.0 D270i. the D270a has the green notification bar and the D270i has the blue one

  • True. And sometimes when i check i get 342

  • I would say to get it. Root it, put on a CWM and get a nice ROM for it, put on V6 supercharger and KAK, and you are good to go.

  • I have this phone, and you can call using headphones. I actually prefer it that way. And when i listen to music, it tends to stick every once in a while, with my headphone and the ones that came with the phone.

  • Pull down the notifications menu, and go on the second page of the quick setting (the place where it has WLAN, Bluetooth, GPS, Data,Brightness. Just pull that to the left, and press Rotation

  • Contact BLU at [email protected] so that they can send you the update!!!

  • GSM Arena is wrong. The phone will not be able to handle such an upgrade. According to BLU Products tech support, there will be another Dash 4.0 model that will have the correct chip set to handle the Jelly Bean upgrade. If you want you can contact [email protected] and find out from them directly.

  • please how did you do the update of your blu? help me please

  • Thank you, this helped out so much...

  • Forget the stock ROM guys; you want the TeamBURST ROM: Be sure to install CWM and wipe everything before flashing.

  • you can update the software not the android version (right now...)

  • Hi want to buy this so who can i

  • The specs show that the d270 is upgradable to 4.1 Jelly Bean but OTA updates say that 4.0 ICS is the latest version. Is GSMArena wrong or is my phone lying to me?

  • Hello, any link to rom you have taken, any suggestions ? thanks in advance

  • Follow this link, download de rom and flash.

  • Hi XD...........just wanna know how can i get the stock rom for this phone pls....the reason why i need its because i flash a rom and i want it back to the stock one.....plssss HEEELP!!!??

  • Hi XD...........just wanna know how can i get the stock rom for this phone pls....the reason why i need its because i flash a rom and i want it back to the stock one.....plssss HEEELP!!!??

  • I got this phone...... Not bad at all but the stock rom sucks....... Somebody can tell me which is the best custom rom for it?......... And it's there one based on the cyanogenmod?

  • This week Team Burst tested this rom but despite being a very beautiful and full rom my phone was extremely slow, programs like facebook catch enough, even giving date wipe the phone went slow and I returned to using the blu rom v6 which is a practically pure android version, with a few modifications and my phone is incredible, super fast and no force close the apps. Now I love this phone!

  • When it was released Android 4.1? Why all the silence?

  • how is the battery life and such? and is the process easy?

  • Can anyone confirm that the custom works fine? especially battery usage

  • This mobile doesn't have 512Mb RAM. It's only 341,5Mb and the mobile is soo slow!!!

  • I got a BLU Dash 4.0 today and confirmed that it does NOT have a compass.

  • You guys really owe it to yourselves to try the TeamBURST ROM. I'm running the Mk3 release as it's super smooth and stable. BLU's stock ROMs are garbage and will frustrate you to the point of chucking your phone out of a window (since Best Buy will only give you $20 for a phone retailing at $120). Throw in V6 Supercharger and the KickAssKernel tweaks and you have an awesome phone. No lag, no crashes, no glitches.

  • Blu Dash 4.0 = Lava Xolo A500. They're practically clones.

  • yes available spice mi-435 (8mp cam) xolo a500

  • I dont know if it is available in India... @3690 I have mine for 45 days... Im happy with it specially due to low cost. I would pay a little more then those U$115 I actually paid...

  • Follow this link:

  • The silicon case of the s3 mini or the galaxy s duos work fine with this dash.. Just have to adapt it a little bit.. Sorry for my bad english.. I'm from Nicaragua

  • Please you say upgrade to V6, wich exactly and where download the upgrade version ? Very thanks

  • V6 is actually the version of android 4.0.4 created for blu dash. Before my phone was with version V4.

  • Ummm whats version v6? :s android has a v6?

  • My phone was using v4 android 4.0.4, after upgrading to version v6 is much better, this version looks like pure android without unnecessary apps, my phone is perfect now, just need to find a silicone case, does anyone know where to find ? Thank you all.

  • Has anyone figure how to boost the phone memory...cause they say 512 but i only get 384 which sucks..cause da phone lags

  • Thus we obtain When We Update 4.1??

  • Thus we obtain When We Update 4.1??

  • Yes, I am able to install different TTS engine, but there are no menu option inside Language & Input to exchange current Pico by the new one. It seems to be a bug in some releases based in 4.0.4 android.

  • well i tried using a samsung headphones, beats headphones and they both sound hollow....but some headphones work tho...but i using the ones that come in da box till i buy a new one cause da one in box sucks

  • Newegg, $99.99 free shipping in the US.

  • @theguy swype is gone but you can install after market keyboards like swype or swift key or the one im using is kii keyboard. @Richardo TTS engine is PICO but i think you might be able to install another engine either from google pay or you can try to find one online. @Corz I don't think there is a way to turn off the vibration notification. And for the headphones are you using them to make a call or to listen to music? I'm using some to listen to music and there's nothing wrong with them, I never tried to make a call with headphones, so I don't know if other headphones work or if you have to use the ones in the box. It would really suck if you have to stick with the ones in the box.

  • it seems the new update eliminated swype in favor of voice recognition software? Or is that option hiding somewhere that I can't find it?

  • Hello guys, I have just received and instaled this update (4.0.4). Unfortunatelly it did not solve my problem with TTS engine swap (I don't want to use Pico). The only good new is the system menu access by typing *#*#9375#*#* Within many options listed there, one is to enable root, but I still not able to make it work...

  • Anyone has issue when using a different headphone in the phone

  • well on other androids they have the 3G sign up.....also whenever i am on a call, it vibrates to notify me....is there a way to turn it off?

  • I don't think there is a 3G logo, I think it's just how good the signal strength is. Also I think you get a vibration while on a call because you might be getting a notification, or the phone vibrates when it stops ringing and the person answers or it goes to voice-mail. Other than that I don't know what to tell you.

  • does the 3G icon comes up? also am i the only one who gets vibration notification while on a call?

  • @Corz 1.The phone only supports 3G on at&t or if your carrier uses the 850 or 1900 band, and that's the first sim card reader the other is only 2G. So if your company runs at 850 or 1900 then you should be fine with 3G. 2. You can't change the transition of the screen because its not using a launcher. If you want to change the transition you could download a launcher and use that as your home launcher.

  • Anyone geting 3G service?

  • Anyone geting 3G service?

  • Does the update fix the issue..where when on a call when a whatsapp message or text or so comes in it vibrates

  • It now looks like really like an android...it still delays a bit but...it moving great..thanks much!....just hope jelly bean is out soon....ahhh do u still get to change the slide effect?

  • Here is the site where I posted the screenshots sorry for the late reply

  • The update works awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my phone move way better and looks way better!!!!

  • do i extract file or what? give me the process please

  • It works and it works great

  • so it really works?

  • Can you take some pictures to show what the updates look like and such? also this software you passed on, it works fa realz right? cause i kinda scared to do it lol

  • Flashed this update from rapidshare...what a world of difference. No misspelled dialogs, no crashes every few minutes, and no crappy GO Launcher. Easily rooted and life is good again. Cheers to you goallout.

  • sorry .i dont see your last post. this is nice stock rom i flash it on my XOLO A500 and works better than my stock rom and it has face lock feature and good battery backup.

  • 1. Drag the update zip folder to your sd card from your computer. 2. after its on the sd card turn off your phone then 3. hold the power button and the volume down button until you get to the recovery screen. 4. select apply update from sd card then when everything is done installing turn off your device one more time and hold the power and volume button and select factory reset. if you dont do a factory reset after you install the update then the google play store and anything from google wont work. so make sure you do a factory reset after the update is done.

  • How do you flash this update with everything being stock?

  • @Jack3935 I said it was android 4.0.4 in my other post. I asked them about 4.1 and they said they are still working on it, I just hope someone can make a custom ROM that can run 4.2 and future android versions.

  • this is 4.0.4 not 4.1

  • Heres the rapidshare link

  • not working

  • Buddy Link Is Showing Incorrect,Please Post The Correct Link!!!

  • The link is empty comrade, please share it again

  • Here is the update. I uploaded it to Google Docs because other sites wouldn't take the file because it was too big. I hope someone can develop a custom ROM using this new update. Have fun

  • Please Post The Recieved Update From BLU On Mediafire.com or 4shared.com And Share The Download Link Here... It Would Help In The Development Of This Phone!!!

  • I emailed blu customer support for an update and they sent it to me within 2 days. I just installed the update and it dramatically improves the performance. I have blu dash 4.0 d270a duel sim

  • I bought the battery as listed in the link below and it does not fit. It is too small for the Blu dash 4.0

  • Why can't I send pic.

  • Please Post The Recieved Update From BLU On Mediafire.com or 4shared.com By The Way R U Using The Dual Sim Version,I Mean That Update File Is For D270 - Dual SIM??? M I RI8???

  • You would be doing the community of Dash 4.0 owners a huge favor. Try some place like 4shared, rapidshare, etc.

  • They sent me the update to android 4.0.4 and it is really good, no more launcher home screen, it is stock android. It gets rid of lag, and there is a lot of improvement on speed and i think it helped with battery life but I'm yet to find out. I'm trying to find a place to post the zip file but no luck. If anyone knows a place to post it let me know its a pretty big file (220 MB). Again this update is from BLU it is not a custom ROM, I had nothing to do with the update.

  • Hello guys,Please find below important ifos regarding this model (I have used one for last 1 month). Both cameras are ok for distant pictures (beyond 1 m; close-up pictures are not good. Top issue by now: It does not have Text to Speech menu available at "Language & Input", this bug needs to be included into next review. Overal rating = Good product versus price (I recommend).

  • I found them at this link:

  • After sending BLU and email for the past month about the update they finally replied with this. "Good Afternoon, Thank you for contacting BLU Products. It is our pleasure to serve you. We are currently working on this upgrade. Please send us an email next week requesting the information and we will send it. Or call us at 1-877-602-8762 Sould you have any additional questions please contact us, Best Regards," I think i will email them as soon as possible (and update you guys).

  • This is a nice phone. I like everything about it...EXCEPT, the battery isn't very good. That's the only problem that I have with this phone.

  • Google the battery model #

  • How can i get extra battery for thid model? Or some compatible battery?

  • How can i get extra battery for thia model? Or some compatible battery?

  • how do I text sideways on my phone

  • No update yet

  • There are not any cases made specifically for this phone yet. You could probably find a generic case for it at walmart or best buy

  • Are there any cases for this phone cause i drop my phone alot and im afraid its gonna break any place i can get cases

  • For the people hows bought the phones... If u want to make it really fast u need to do 2 things. 1. Change theme to the other option and change the original wallpaper. 2. Install ram booster from the market. If u do this 2 thing ur blu phone gonna be really fast. Sorry for the bad english. RG

  • Its a month later from when the last guy asked, i just wanted to know if the update for 4.1 is out yet? Havent bought the phone, not going to be really interested until then

  • You DON"T have to but you CAN if needed.

  • Have you tried a hard reset in android recovery?

  • Nice phone

  • They have it on Amazon.com

  • goodnight I need your help, my phone blu dash 4.0, with this problem, I need a backup of the original rom, reiviver to try it. the problem of infinite loop EMAIL:[email protected] att, Hudson Cosme Ferreira

  • ebay and best buy!

  • Gys.... Help. me i want to perchaes this mobile but it not aveleble if any one see online submit link hear .........

  • Got this phone 2day. The camera LED "flash" is a joke! It does almost nothing in even complete darkness. It shows up as a blue halo, at best, in the dark. Very unhappy with that. Looks like there is only 2 GB ROM and not 4 GB. More to come as I figure this thing out.

  • whether this phone will go to Indonesia?

  • you can use only 1 sim chip - optional

  • he's use a standard size sim card

  • It does not have COMPASS. Does not feel like dual core processor. Otherwise Good. You get what uou pay.

  • Also, do I Have to use 2 sim's because this is a dual sim phone?

  • Does the d270a use a standard size sim card or a micro size?

  • Does the d270a use a standard size sim card?

  • Dual-standby (see the specs, above).

  • blu Dash 4.0 is dual active sim or only dual standby?

  • The straightforward way is to wait until BLU rolls out a 4.1 update (app on phone checks weekly, or you can initiate a manual check). I do not know if anyone will create a custom 4.1 update for this model; it would also not be "official", and might not allow access to all features of phone.

  • I have to revise my opinion of the phone's camera: The video is of very poor quality when using any decent settings (i.e. H264 at 720, or even MPEG4 at 480p). Very blocky, low frame rate; it's as if the processor can't keep up with the data input (Yes, I did try recording direct to internal memory so as to rule out slow SD card: no better). Still pictures are OK, but tend to be rather dark and missing detail at 5 MP AUTO settings. So, you wouldn't buy this phone for more than very casual use as a still camera, and probably only for send-by-message-or-email video.

  • Whatsapp is included on the phone, so I would presume it works.

  • How do you update this to android 4.1?

  • I do not recommeded, because Android $4.1 does not work with Flash.....

  • How do i update this to android 4.1?

  • How do i update this to android 4.1?

  • I also have not been able to shoot pictures with flash, even when set to "On" rather than "Auto". Advise making sure you adjust the camera settings to best quality on both pictures and video to make the best of what the fixed-focus camera can do. Other than that, when I attempted to download YouTube, I was advised that I needed Google Play Services, which itself would not properly install. However, it hasn't kept YouTube from functioning normally. Skype works, as does Maps, Navigation, etc. So far, phone is very good value for its price.

  • can whatsapp be used on this phone? am considering buying this phone

  • The dash 4.0 doesn't support vcard Does anyone know of a work around ?

  • great phone for less than $120.00. most known communications applications work fine in this phone. Ihaven't been able to shoot using flash. No notification of low memory yet.

  • this is for those of you who want to know if the dash 4.0 comes with a screen protector. the answer is "yes". the screen protector is already mounted on the phone and covered the entire face. but the big label is on the touchscreen portion and you need to use a blade or some flat solid object to peel off one edge of the label. once you get enough to hold with 2 fingers, hold the phone (top and bottom end down) and peel the hard label slowly. it worked fine for me.

  • yes you can download from GP

  • Is this smartphone compatible with "Google Play"?. So, can I install apps without problems?? Thanks!

  • @goallout I have the impression that it's a fixed focus lens, but I'll report back otherwise if that's the case (phone should arrive tomorrow).

  • Hello Buddies !! I'd like to ask you about this phone if it is AVAILABLE in Syria or not .... Please I want the answer as fast as possible ... Also you can send me to my E-mail : [email protected]

  • I've had my Dash 4.0 for a few days and it is a nice device. The price makes it a great value. No complaints here! I'm using Red Pocket Mobile and this phone was almost totally automated with the network configuration.

  • To answer your question it does come with a screen protector but the sticker over the protector was a pain to take off so i just removed the screen protector all together, it was like they super glued the sticker on it.

  • I finally got the phone, and from a one day experience i think its a good phone especially for the price tag. Its smooth and sleek. The processor is good and fast, the camera is good but I'm still trying to figure out if it has touch focus of if it has any type of focus setting for the camera. Overall it's a good phone and it will do the job. After all it's not the S3 so don't expect it to do magical things.

  • hi happy tico i am planning to bUy the BLU TANK 4.5

  • Does this phone comes with screen protector or not some ppl say yes that is behind the sticker but soo far no answer and on ebay i just find screen protector for blu dash 3.5, dont know if its cuz this phone is relative new on market. Cuz if i cant get a screen protector i will just pass and buy another phone

  • How to update it to android 4.1?

  • How about processing power?? It`s good enough to handle most apps?

  • Buy it, excelent phone. May be you can go to intelec, there the cost of this cellphone is 85000 but you have to pay in cash

  • I just bought this phone, i think is awesome. The cell is fast but it does not has a lot of internal memory and i can't find a screem protector...... I am from Costa Rica, cheap cellphone, one year warranty :-) Sorry my english

  • I haven't come across any either. I'd like to find some before purchasing the phone. If there are any made for other phones that can fit this one, I'd like to know about it too.

  • i was wondering if anyone was able to find a case or screen protector compatible with it.

  • Htc explorer is actually a little old, so I think you can try BLU, it´s cheap after all... Sorry but I haven't bought it yet, so I can't tell you about the screen... If you buy it please tell us how good it is. Sorry if bad English...

  • How is the screen on this phone? Is it glass or plasric? Also I have the htc ecplorer, is it worth it to buy the dash? A reply would be grateful. Thank you

  • Did you try out the camera? Is it auto-focus?

  • Awesome phone for less than $200. I had a samsung galaxy sII and this phone is almost the same

  • Let me say I have had the dash d130 year now. Blu phones in my eye are good nice phones. Battery life is good no problems at all with my dash and uae it daily. I am upgrading to the new one here the 4.0. Larger screen sold me on it.

  • How about product quality? And, how about GPU and RAM, can it handle most common apps with no lags? Sorry if bad English...

  • Just got one today. So far so good but I have a bad first impression. It came with a sticker with faux-screen over the entire screen. Took me 30 minutes to peel off, then use goo-gone to get the sticker glue off. Left some very shallow buffing scratches from the towel i used. Otherwise it works fast, wireless setup very easy. I'm using it voice only Tmobile prepaid, data through wifi.

  • Hi users! i'm from Costa Rica, in my country this phone has low cost, but i'm not sure if buy it or no, dualcore for $175!?! has very good Specifications or so so, just vídeo@ nothing spetial, compare with samsung ace 2 maybe! but ace 2 = $298. so i'm not sure! if bUy or not! some body has this phone???? post a review! .. sorry about my bad english... ;-)
