  • Hey could someone tell me if we will receive the 8.0 android update for this phone?

  • my blu grand 5.5 keeps turning off accessibility service automatically, therefore, i cant use apps which require accessibility service, please help

  • I'm not able to send any SMS

  • How did you get this phone to run 3G net because mine can't and I see many other people have the same problem? I need help

  • I cant get 3G network and am in Ghana

  • i cant get mobile data on my phone

  • the guilty is not the phone is the service provider, PHILIPPINES has 3G coverage but limited that is why you get low coverage.... this are the 2g/3g your phone handles 2G----GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2 3G----HSDPA 850 / 1700(AWS) / 1900 / 2100 - G030U CHECK THE LINK TO SEE IF MATCH WITH YOUR PHONE CAPABILITIES:

  • battery life is excellent, it last for day and a half for me, only problem is that I saturated the poor phone with more than 20 apps using a 64gb micro SD

  • Liberia doesn't have 3G bands my friend 2G capabilities -------->>>GSM 900, GSM 1800 , those are the bands you have available, that answers your question

  • How to change icon size

  • Dose this phone provide Chinese language or not? Want to buy it for my mom but cannot find exact information. Please help me.

  • buy phone at walmart, ships free in 2 days and is better deal than amazon, grate phone , would buy again, blu phones are the best,

  • great phone, it cost me 112 bucks on Amazon, but the device it self is good at that price point, considering that a Samsung with same specs cost at least 50/60 bucks more

  • Im sorry but my experience with the blu grand 5.5 hd is not the best.internal storage suck the hole information and i can't srore the apps on my sd card. Could you solve this problem?

  • to my surprise once my phone was ringing and didn't notice that my phone was lay down on my pocket but when I tough that I was trying to answer wrongly my surprise was that I can answer on both sides, you know it has 2 stereo speakers so both works well as earphone and also has 2 proximity sensors that's crazy and it the screen is High Definition for a phone less than 120$ its more than Ok to me, PEENGA RHATAN.

  • Though my storage is set to SD card, each app I download is stored on the phone memory and not the card.. How do I solve that?

  • Even though you have 8GB of memory... I supposed half of that is taken up by android's OS, because my total storage is listed as 4.21GB

  • my blue grand 5.5 .the signal here in phillipines is so very poor .what can i do to become a good signal?

  • @ Venom. That is very correct about 3G on Both network, as i've had the same experience as well, This is a very good mid-range budget phone. just love the Front facing 5 mg pixel with flash, always want a mobile with front-facing flash. "Awesome"!

  • I bought grand 5.5 , when connect to my pc running on win 10 64 bit , it could not detect well

  • I bought one in Jamaica and it's running on 3g on both internet connection here

  • If you look at the specifications...u can see it has two versions of 3G bands..am aware most african countries use a particular band. check the one your network uses for 3G..if its not inthe phone ..sorry u will have only edge(E) signal

  • Hey that maybe and issue with your service provider and not the device. The device is compatible with 3g or 4g but if the speeds received from the provider isn't within the 3g or 4g range then the device would not display H/H+

  • I just received one from my brother in the USA to be use in Liberia,to my surprise, the internet is not good,is always running at E instead of H+/H My problem is, why say the phone is a 4G when it can not even run 3G?

  • I recently saw this phone in the local stores. How's its battery performance? Any issues with the screen?

  • I had 2 of these phones in my Ebay cart until I noticed that it has no LTE. If they keep all the cool features and add LTE and 2 or 3GB of RAM instead of just 1GB I would buy two!

  • I was really surprised by this phone since I realize that has two speakers for stereo audio, pretty good on video games and movies!!!
