BLU Dash JR - User Reviews

  • I took mine to every cell store in town and battery shop. I was told that the life wireless SIMS can only use the SIM life wireless ones and they no longer have them in stock nor will they get them in, their discontinued. Same with the batteries.

  • Ive got the free life wireless BLU DASH JR 3G says Smartphone Android 4.4.2, D191U 1300mAh 4.81 Wh 3.7v Li-Ion Battery. The Life Wireless stopped getting replacement parts to order and purchase for it. My battery is trying to go graveyard dead soon and I need to find another battery for it. Its imperative , I need to preserve and access my texts , info etc on it. If I were to transfer the SIM on it , it will erase my info (texts) I need to keep these. I'll be getting another cell but I have to preserve and access this information either way. How do I find a compatible battery and where are these batteries attainable to purchase reliably?

  • Did you ever figure out how to get your Tmobile sim chip to work in your BLU phone? I am having the same issue with mine...the slot is really sloppy

  • All BLU phones are crap. There are many bloatware virus collecting apps on these phones. Avoid BLU phone at all costs.at all

  • it's upgradeable to android 4.4 kitkat

  • Can i upgrade my blu dash jr to a version above 2.5?

  • I bought one for 10 Euros last week. Unsatisfied, I just sold it for 20 Euros !

  • How do I open the screen,the lock isn't working

  • what is wrong with my BLU dash JR if it shuts off n doesn't turn back on?

  • Hi, how do I get my damaged screen repaired or replaced . The brand is Blu Dash JR D140W. Thanks.

  • unable to get to play store.

  • Could not get my T-Mobile SIM card to work in this phone. The slots give too much wiggle room and despite trying multiple configurations, nothing works. SIM card works in another phone, but not this one.

  • hi, i just bought a blu cash jr. when plugging in the headphones for hands free calling, i can hear people but they can not hear me. i turned volume up all the way, still nothing. Anybody have a suggestion. Also how do you get the phone to vibrate only when on silent without having to go into setting every time you turn it on? thank you for your help,

  • today i bought one of these phones it is now currently dead after failing to charge whats up with that n can i get compensation for this.

  • I bought one of this little guys and i found that is impossible to use and install applications through Play Store. I found this problem to be related with an automatic update of play store (you cant do anything about this automatic update unless you root the phone). It seemed that the update is not compatible with the android version of this phone (too old?). Anyway, i found my way to install whatsapp, facebook lite and twitter uninstalling play store's update (manage apps - downloaded - google play store - uninstall updates). After uninstalling play store updates, go and download the apps before the play store update automatically.

  • Horrible, phone don't buy. A flip phone is better than this

  • The specs speak for themselves, although it runs quite well as a basic starter android. Battery life gets poor after a while.

  • I got this to use overseas. Bare essentials. Looks okay, but do I need to use BOTH sim card slots to get one to work??

  • You guys are oh so LUCKY. I got nothing from the start. It was even wiped in an attempt to get it to work and nothing. Funny thing is I bought mine on line and to return it is costing 2x the phone cost. mama mia!!!!!!

  • Waste of money...waste of time. It just keeps crashing. Even the teckies don't know what's happening.

  • With a 16gb SD card i can't even download whatsapp or anything at all The phone is a useless piece of junk

  • My phone won't do anything on the signal bar all it says is E then a few bars why won't the Damn thing work.

  • MyDASH X PLUS 5.0.2 gives me a lot headache, half of the screen draw many small horizontal lines also the small horizontal lines bring out different colours whenever I change to any of the menu option, please can anyone tell me what to do so as to get rid of these anonymous lines. Thanks

  • mine has exactly the same problem as u all guys:( srsly im gonna make those blu pple pay for this this piece of worthless crap

  • you know watt??? mine does the same thing i says it dont have space and ive tried everything there's like a hell lotta space in it idk wtf is going on with this worthless piece of crap

After i tried the sd card in another phone and it still didnt show up steupsss.... the thing do the same thing with my 2gb i feel ike smashing that stupid thing to oblivian😠😠😠

  • all kinds of issues with the phone, you get what you pay for...

  • I got robbed,I bought mine from the "AUTHORIZED DEALER OF BLU" in my country and got 94.2mb of ram 90mb of internal storage which I can't use.THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE

  • Facts it says u gotta download watts app for a dollar wtf i didnt pay so i cant download shit

  • i just bought one and after 3 days it keeps resetting itself on its own

  • This phone is completely WORTHLESS it doesn't work for shit. TRU-CONNECT the service provider I got the phone from is also worthless. I waited 2 months for a replacement phone n this is what they finally sent me. it came with a porn website already downloaded on it. A FUCKING JOKE

  • I have the bku phone and I want to update it to the new version but it say I don't have any space. So I deleted everything I had music, pics,apps. Etc. It still say I don't have any space can someone help.

  • This phone is the worse phone I ever had in my life! Who ever validated the software on this phone must have been a complete monkey!! It has a lot of very obvious bugs whom a 5 year old would have been able to pickup easily!!! So based on that I advise anybody strongly not to purchase this phone or as matter of fact any of Blu products. I assure you I know what I am talking about because I have been in same line of business for over 10 years.

  • this phone is a pice of shit.... not even 2mouth an it have so much problem is shut down on its own.. blu need to start making peoples money worth....

  • The BLU Dash Jr is a sorry excuse for a phone in the day and age dual SIM thumbs up but what next no memory even with a 4GB SD-card this is a joke no Apps can be downloaded and if I manage to get one on, it just won't open this is crazy

  • I don't know what wrong with it can't download any thing this is joke

  • this phone has some really horrible stats when it comes to storage.

  • my phone is failing to open playstore and cannot download nothing

  • what is "BT"

  • My phone also fail to start up n nothing can go on it I can download one single thing and I want to know why it freeze at blu and no move at all

  • my phone has failed to install whatsapp app its bringing error. RPC:S-7:AEC-0 CEUX-PU5R-WT3IU

  • This is the worst phone ever i cant even get my whatsapp to open when i downloaded it. However invented this phone is a prick

  • i can ope the phone

  • The first thing you should do when you get this phone is buy a hammer. Then wrap the phone is the towel. Then smash the phone into little pieces .Now the phone is usefull

  • Ai kan download no apps

  • i cant seem to insall any apps or games. I cant even open google play on my dash jr.

  • I need to adjust the date/year. Says January 2014. Help appreciated.

  • i like the damn phone i just want to have it reading the sd card...i need some ideas

  • Didn't really get to use the phone but it work well,any one know where I can get a inner face for the blu jr

  • I agree with you, when try to make a call it would go back to the screen saver and it would take me several time before I can make a call .

  • why you guys keep complaining about the cell phone that you get free. atleast u should be appreciated that you get the cell phone and minutes free aswel. than rather go and buy your self a new phone. and bt, this cell phone works pretty good when you root it to the android kit kat 4.4. it works even better. but you guys cannot do that cause ur so incompitent. shh!!1

  • def not for internet use but a cute phone

  • No sirven :)

  • i agree i buy 1 about 2 months ago and it never work propperly. to slow alwsys freezing and, to make matters worst i cant recieve calls or msg but can make. its my worst buy ever. going back to samsung

  • I received this phone through the lifeline program for free & i can tell you this is the worst unreliable phone i have ever had! I can't even receive or send phone calls in my home! I have to go outside & walk over to the other side of the trailer park to receive or send a call. I am going to give it back. I hate this phone. Just give me a simple cell phone without all the extra bs that i will never use.

  • I ran into the same problem and have wasted hours trying. Did you every figure out how to remove / delete an email acct?

  • This phone was supplied me through the life line program. Within a few days of use I was unable to install any app due to "insufficient memory" even though more than 14 gigs remained on the sd card that I had installed. I discovered that uninstalling a "google play services" update that had automatically been installed restored normal operation. Since I have no control over automatic updates I expect the problem will return. But for those experiencing any similar issues, try uninstalling any similar updates you can find.

  • I have this phone for a year and 8 months and all of a sudden iI can't get signal and my storage is all if a sudden running out it is really uupsetting

  • Hi, I bought this phone for myself about 8 months ago. When I tried installing apps it rapidly went out of space because the biggest apps are stored in the phone memory not letting you install them on the sd card. After installing the least amount of apps it automatically asked for updates that the phone itself can't make because of the internal space. I decided to give the phone to my dad because he only uses whatsapp and emails. Nevertheless when activating emails it also went out of storage so my dad decided to use it just with whatsapp and the normal phone functions: make and receive calls, sms. The problem now is that sim slot 1 suddenly stopped working and now he has had to go back to his old two sim dumb phone. Needless to say it's a very bad phone, please don't waste your money on this one. It's not worth even paying $5 for it.

  • My aunt bought me a Blu dash jr,for some time every thing was good until the batty died i charged it and it was stuck on the home screen so i did a factory restet on it.After word the SD card i had in it did not show up my music and my Apps were not the and the phone only comes with 170MB and pre loaded stuff use about 120 so imagine how use less it is it doesnt even allow you to take a picture with out an SD card.100% Watse,would not recommend this to anyone. If you have a small child and you want to keep in touch do bother to buy this 75% of the time you don't here the call.

  • try updating the verison. it works. there is the new verison 3.4. works fine also try doing a hard reset on it and will help you out enabling the 3g on the phone.

  • SAMEEE!! omg i have nothing on my phone yet, it has no storage space and i can't enable 3G even though i have GB?

  • anytime someone is trying to call me i never get it at all

  • MUST READ!!! I'm on my tablet now* I was on my Blu phone and every thing was going good untill my phone said that my storage was full and I clicked on it and it brought me to this graph and the most storage was my application thingy so I clicked that and it said u could delet some of it and so I deleted some of it like Google play thing and brOwse the only option it gave me was Clear that's it! And then I went back to home and it was all messed up my browser said it had stopped and my Google play didn't work at all what do I do???????!!!!!!!

  • the message would not send nor it would not arrive in a few days. Also the power button would not work. When you call someone you would only hear your voice!!

  • why is my play store can't open?

  • did you ever figure out the touch screen problem I have the same problem

  • How can I switch off internet, so my prepaid telephone card is not empty in a short time

  • Same here! Also it says "enable 3G" and i click connect but nothing happens even though i have alotttt of mb?!?! and i cant delete the apps they have giving me even though they take up so much space! so i have no storage and no apps and no net??

  • why is my internal storage running out and nothing is on my phone

  • When you sent your phone in to the company, Did they send a new one free of charge? && Did you originally purchase your phone somewhere/ how, Or possibly happen to receive it through one of those Govt. Asst. Programs?? **I'm Just Wondering Because- I got mine from someone through the program.. but it started messing up & I can't get in to or do anything with it. It is currently screen locked & the sensor (i'm guessing) for the touch screen + the buttons quit working as well, So I really just wanted/ need to know -If I sent it in to the original company, Would they accept it & send me a new one free of charge?**

  • does anyone know if the blu dash jr is upgradeable to the android version 5.0 or the 4.4? and if it will work with a 32gb attached with a extra internal storage? the phone i have is the blu but it is an unlock cell phone that has been custom made

  • how can I access my voice messeges?

  • how to downlode a app in blu dash jr i have sd card too

  • my phone is lock and wil not open i try every thing plus cary it to some ont who usually open lock phones what should i doo?

  • Piece of junk. It keeps crashing, lack of memory. Useless.

  • Only slightly more useful than a Fisher Price toddler toy. AntiDash is completely right. Except the calls are also so poor quality no one can hear me either and most calls drop or the phone hangs itself up. It does not have the capacity to hold even one game (like DragonStory, etc) without crashing, lagging to the point of not being able to play, etc. You can't use facebook or facebook messenger due to memory problems. I've had as few as 4 text messages and it will tell me that I can't receive messages because memory is full. It looks cute, but I have no idea who could use this phone successfully. Someone who doesn't play any games, get online, text, make phone calls, or use most apps. Seriously, it's only slightly more useful than a Fisher Price toddler toy, but more frustrating.

  • I cant get Emojis. The camera on this phone sucks. Its a cute phone but I cant hear most of my calls. I have an 18 gig sd card and it still wont hold anything.. Trying to surf the web is like punching a brick wall..

  • This is the worst phone I ever bought. My data is set up but the phone won't let me browse or download anything. Who invented this nonsense. The phone literally works when it feels like just wasted my money on rubbish.

  • here are some tips for this phone. set ur phone to store apps on your sd card. if you try to install apps and it keeps saying not enough space ,first you must uninstall the UPDATES FOR GOOLGE PLAY STORE APP ,REMEMBER UPDATES NOT the APP ITSELF. then try downloading and installing the app again, just remember everytime the app updates you have to uninstall updates to download another app. its a problem with the software. you need to go into the app setting to allow all your apps to be stored on your sd card

  • This phone is such a piece of crap!!!! Freezes up can't get message and makes random calls. Can't hear when it rings. Loose call when ever I am talking on it. It is so useless!!! Bought from Company in Orlando. What a scam!!!

  • My phone literally stop ringing not getting any sound from it! Not even music I can listen am frustrated!! No sound I don't even know when am receiving calls.

  • My only ish is, how do I take screenshots? Cant figure out that one.

  • My only ish is, how do I take screenshots? Cant figure out that one.

  • All y'all have to do is reset the phone in backup and reset, then select the option to write apps to SD card. The 196mb internal memory is shit, but ive figured my way around it. Also, try not to install huge apps, or apps thats bigger than say 40mbs and install a cleaner to clear junk files and clear ur cache often.

  • Lol I just find a way to do it I send them from a next phone Or tablets download blue tooth apps sender from play store an send it it will store on sd card

  • really my aunt waste her money on this phone its very slow and have insufficient space i am going to sell this crap who created that phone i am so mad.

  • Hello people if you do not have space on your phone all you people need to do is download mobogeni on your computer and back up all you stuff to your computer and wipe the phone and then restore it back ot on your phone and it will work the thing is the have a small space for app so if you download just a few it will full up the phone space and if you uninstall the apps it do not mean that it is gone

  • This phone is crap!!!! I have only been able to download ONE app - if I try to download anymore, it says that I am low on internal storage space. PLUS, 90% of the time, I do not receive any phone calls - it just goes straight to voicemail. Very unhappy with this phone. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PHONE!

It should be taken off the market good.

  • I don't think it uses a full size sim card - those are almost the size of a credit card. I think it uses a mini-sim, which is 25mm x 15mm (approx 1" x 1/2"). The micro-sim is the next smaller (15mm x 12mm).

  • picture quality is poor,keep telling me that phone storage is poor what should i do?

  • Save numbers the sim and do a factory reset

  • Pls am in nigeria but can't us my blu star JR because it can't capture d Nigerian network mtn. What can i do?

  • I just purchased this phone and it uses full size SIM cards not mini. Basic and cheap quality but for the price, can't complain.

  • Don't bother it cause huge lags in the functioning.

  • Originally, my experience with Blu phones were of an intriguingly clever mixture of form and function, often with clever quirks. This phone, however, has the form, but leaves much to be desired regarding function. The Blu Dash Jr is well constructed and and has a comfortable feel to the average hand. It has proved itself capable of surviving numerous drops from waist height. In short it feels and looks ok and is inexpensive. Unfortunately, those are the only things I can give it credit for. Perhaps due to its pricing, its functioning as a smartphone is severely lacking. The Dash Jr lags in scrolling, opening an app, carrying out a request even shutting down and starting. Placing a call takes between 30 to 90 seconds before it even displays that it is placing a call. Space is extremely limited internally with only 512mb of which a sparse 160mb is accessible to the user. You will constantly be asked to delete data to make room. Battery life is terrible. as a dual Sim phone it barely makes sense because the battery dies twice as fast with two Sim cards installed. I had to remove one for it to last a full day. when I added a Data plan it last anywhere from 2 to 3 hours. Overall my experience has been a frustrating one. But I don't want to leave you thinking that it all bad.for the first half hour after unboxing it I had fun.

  • I want to store all my apps on my memory card any ideas

  • You can download the mobogenie app n use it to download your ringtones wallpapers videos n Android apps

  • The same thing happened to me and i even ended up deleting some apps and continued to clear data when the notification came upâ�¦â�¦but i realize that by using mobomarket to download apps, games and themes instead of google play store, there is no longer any mention of low space.

  • mine only came with 160 mb of free memory and keeps crying for low space even when all of my apps are on my memory card and it also prevents me from getting more than 4 applications as it say there is no space. I have a 8Gb memory card and only used 1gb and now cant get anything else on my Sd card as of the low internal memory

  • This is the worst android phone that could ever exist.

  • I purchased this phone so I could enjoy all that one would do with an android. Everytime I try to download FB Mobile it takes about 45 mins....then says error "Cannot install app in default space" Whatever that means. There are no instructions on how set up voicemail...but when I call voicemail it asks for my password. I don't have one, therefore I cannot set up my voicemail. I'm paying for Data yet I rarely get it. This phone is ridiculous. I paid 35$ for it on a special offer. I wouldn't pay 10. The touchscreen only works when it feels like it. There are no instructions. Whoever designed this wannabe Android needs a swift kick to the brain....or an I.Q above 5. I cannot even save pictures to the stupid thing because I have to purchase a micro SD card. I'm very uphappy with this phone. I would like to warn all people searching for a smartphone to STAY AWAY from this phone/idiot box.

  • Where do the sim cards go? I have 3 cards and none of them fit anywhere. Is it under the battery? beside it or over it? Never used a phone like this before.

  • any games not work, it's so slowly, glass is very fragil

  • I cant receive any calls

  • I can't find cases for this phone anywhere. Anyone know of a source?

  • slow facebook

  • to download from google play log in to google from your phone to link it to play store,use wifi preferably,enable synchronisation in settings,and once registered and synched you should be able to download,it is also wise to use a memory card as the phone only has about 160-200 mb free storage,depending on the software originally installed on it,with voice search and google search apps on phone and calender,it was only when i connected to internet on wifi all of them worked with no problem for me,i also downloaded 2 apps from play store that use 2g network(data has to be turned on) and cell tower position to show my approx. location.this cheap phone covers most of the basics for me.

  • i cant get it to download any apps and there's a message that my" Google talk authentication has failed " keeps popping up ... i don't know what that means too . dose anyone know how to help me .. otherwise i like this cell phone great price too $54.00... i had a Samsung galaxy 3s and it wouldn't turn on and then i got a replacement and the second one did the same thing after 6 months.. so know i got this one. i am a very busy person and i travel back and forth to my 3 different jobs so need my Google calendar to work ... please help !!

  • need some camera help!!!!!

  • this phone does not have gps,it only has assisted gps,although it has less ram one must use cache cleaner and task killer regularly,most apps work well,camera only good in day or brightly lit areas,phone is easy to use and good as an everyday backup phone,google maps shows me about 1 mile away from my actual location,so i have to compensate for that,calls and media volume and sound is good,downloaded a few apps from play store with no problem,wifi locates networks and connects easily,a simple good android.to download from play store make sure accounts synchronisation is enabled,turn on data,and use wifi preferably and you have to link your phone to your google account.good battery life also.

  • Can sum1 plz tell me how to download on this phone

  • i believe its because you have to insert a memory card because the internal memory is not enough for you to download anything!

  • i am having a hard time working this phone to i am thinging about returning it

  • I can't either! Someone help please!

  • I am experiencing the same problem. Still cannot download text messages with pictures.

  • someone wrote about how hard it is to figure how to use this phone and they are right . it took a few days to figure out how to download apps. Basically you are on your own , everything you have to set up on your own The instruction booklet doesn't help at all. i cannot get on the internet unless i am in a hotspot{ WLAN]. this phone is annoying me and my acquaintances that calls , or text me. also it doesn't alert you that you have text messages or missed calls. overall this phone get a one if you ask me.

  • it runs 2 temple run? because I wanted to buy a mobile that.

  • Very difficult to learn how to use. The built in skins are not explained in enclosed book. These skins makes most Android instruction books not usable. I would like a link that helps new Android users.

  • i purchase this phone with the hope that i would be able to install bbm on it, but i am not able to install this app, can someone pls guild me on how to install the blackberry messenger on this handset. my email [email protected]. thank you!

  • I had the same problem with downloading and getting onto FB and such. I put a micro SD card in the phone and it works fine now. I am having a problem with speed and general issues though. I have some Chinese porn like downloads that have appeared out of no where that I cant seem to get rid of.
