BLU Studio 5.0 C HD - User Reviews

  • is by far the worst phone ever... i never will buy another blu... we need factory reset every week and with a factory reset go a imei restore... big plan, bad result.

  • I bought this phone to upgrade my Old HTC Desire and it is complete Garbage It freezes all the time so I sent it in for repair I have now been without my new phone for 45 days I would not recommend blu products to anyone

  • these phones are horrible, my Samsung note 5 broke (rip) and I needed a cheap phone to hold me over. I made the mistake of buying the blu studio c hd and it was the worse phone i ever used. no memory, couldnt run maps, facebook, spotify....shit it would have trouble running its launcher and wouldnt load apps all together. Used for 4 months and bought a Nextbit Robin (was going to cost 300+ to fix the lcd on the note 5) and have never been happier with a phone! the nextbit is a flagship killer!! if you are looking for a cheaper phone thats actually GOOD go with the nextbit. BLU ARE HORRIBLE.

  • I bought this phone on Ebay brand new in the box. I'm still on the fence about it. It has fairly solid construction, the back snaps firmly in place and takes some effort to remove. On the software side, there is a lot (and a bit less) to be desired. It's not as responsive as I would like in a phone that has 1Gb of ram, and the factory installed apps take up a whole 2Gb of the available 8Gb of internal memory. I feel like maybe some of these apps are running in the background behind the scenes, because the ram utilization is never below 70%. I will be dumping the rom and removing the bloatware to see if it offers a better experience on fully stock Android. I'll report back in detail with my experience, and if anyone is interested, I'll post my method and possibly a link to the modified firmware.

  • You can get an app to disable the proximity sensor.

  • Check your APN (access point names) settings for your mobile carrier. With mine, I was getting Edge (E symbol) until I keyed in the proper settings for my carrier (Ting, who uses AT&T towers) and now I have 4g everywhere.

  • just order a battery for the blu and it should work i am good at tech

  • Drea you need an mms service which is set up through your phones plan.

  • Overall this phone is a good phone. It works well, has a nice and simple display, and is easy to navigate. The only problems I can find is it is a little slow when opening big apps like YouTube, chrome, and some popular games. I would rate this phone 🌟🌟🌟&#127­775;

  • this is USA model or LATIN AMERICA model. It has the American bands for 3g, not the same for India and Bangladesh for some carriers. I recommend using this page before buying a phone ALWAYS. Check it out and see if it is compatible with your carrier:

  • throw it....it is dead. got the same with a Studio 5.0

  • you should probably take the battery out

  • Why am I only getting to use try caller to make calls. Where is the normal dialling app.

  • Does the studio 5c video chat? It keeps telling me its not set up but I don't see where to set it up

Is why are u making a phn that cannot take any apps on it only the one it comes with

  • Thank you..have removed missed call icon...

  • Yes it has. go to connection settings

  • You will have to disable the messaging app and use the hangouts app as the default messaging app of the phone.

  • you will just have to click on the telephone icon and you wll see a 1 new missed call. click on that and it will route on the missed calls page. and click on home button.

  • Looks like a battery or a dock problem you would need to replace one of them

  • What brand is the Blu Studio 5.0 C anyone?

  • I have my Blu for about a year now and recently it started giving trouble. Day by day the apps that are on the phone, for example Facebook , it keeps cutting off and saying "Unfortunately Facebook Isn't Working Right Now" ... and it'll say the same if i click on Messenger or any other apps. What could possibly cause that?

  • does anybody know if this phone will receive lollipop?

  • How did u fix it

  • hi you have to insert your sims card into slot 2 to use it. Hope this helps

  • It states right on the box its a 1.2ghz dual core processor which is slow by today's standards. If you thought you were gonna get a quad core beast for under 100.00, shame on you.

  • Such a horrible phone. Everything is wrong with the phone. When I take a screenshot it "cannot generate thumbnail", when I get a text, I don't receive it till 2 hours later, I don't receive phone calls and will later get asked why I didn't answer my phone! Every single app will have a 'bad manifest' so I can't download anything. Wow I truly hate this phone from the bottom of my heart. I can't even take a bug test because the option isn't available. Wow.

  • I just did that update that I think you are talking about and now it can't read my sim card. I tried my sim card on another phone just to make sure it wasn't the sim and it worked. So it's the phone and not sure what to do. Stay away from the update in my opinion lol

  • how to switch from one sim card to the next to make a call on blu studio mini c

  • Does this phone have a mobile hotspot?

  • does anybody knows if there is lollipop Android version for this phone?

  • Yep.

  • it will not hurt, do it

  • I love my Blu, but I have one question though; recently on my toolbar space I got a notification for a new version available for the wireless update BUT I don't know if to update it or not BC am scared it might screw up my phone in any way, has anybody update it already???? If so I'd like to know how is it, do you like it? Do you recommended it? Does it a make a big difference? Please help me am undecided whether to upgrade to the new version or not.

  • I can't use 3g network in blue studio c

  • I just bought the phone and tried to install the SIM card. Everything went well, except I got the error message "Slot 1: No SIM card detected". Actually I inserted the SIM card in slot 1. Nothing is inserted in slot 2. And phone call and web browsing look good. I have no idea why I got such error/warning message. Anyone can help?

  • This phone is horribly underpowered. UI is very laggy and SLOW.

  • My phone do not diplay the name of the person calling only the number why is that

  • In my opinion, I think that EVERYONE who makes negative comments about the cell phones/tablets made by BLU, should STOP the complaints and just purchase the advanced phone/tablet that you REALLY want! In other words, cease from looking for Cadillac features in a Ford Escort!!

  • Why is my phone going in and outta app and option setting and I'm not touching screen to do it what is wrong

  • I've had this phone awhile now, and I love it.For the price, it's lacking some sensors(GPS,gyroscope, and such) but I bought it more for its hi-res screen to show pictures. The camera is a let-down,but, better than nothing.Now that I know more about Android,I'll know what to look for in my next phone...

  • my battery run down every 5 hours everything work good it. Blu are good phone but this battery ahh

  • Did it just stop working or have you never been able to acees it? Mine has just gone out a couple times to and I just reboot and it works again.

  • I bought this fone 3 days ago and for some reason my memory card is not reading and wen I save pictures in my fone after a couple of mins the picture is not loading and jus dissapears so none of my pics are loading properly den the wats app voice notes I can't listen to dem wat can I do to fix dis problem

  • Bad series of BLU. Two weeks i have a white screen.

  • What is the purpose of the little light screen on the right side if the name BLU on the front of the phone.

  • Does it contain Cortana?

  • Do u have a problem with the battery not charging while it plugged in?

  • What is this green led light at the top of the phone? It just comes on at "inappropiate" times....

  • no 3G. Please help

  • no 3G. Please help

  • i cant access the 3g network

  • Yes it can as I live in the Caribbean and it works just fine.

  • Agreed. I have applied every tweak in the book, and still the battery life is deplorable. The bottom line is that the 2000 mAh battery is insufficient. The screen is the main cause of the battery drain. When the device is off, there is very little drain. When I have the display on, I can watch the battery percentage go down 1% a minute, no matter what I'm doing on the phone. Too bad, because otherwise, this would be a decent budget device.

  • Yes it does (probably late info)...I have one and am using it on CC

  • I have this phone only a month now and i have battery problem. Its not coming on. Its on the charger and at 10% when I hit the power on button, the screen just goes blank at back at 0%.... Can I get some advice on what to do please. Really need the use of my phone.

  • please remove camera protector!!!!!!!!!!!!!!now your flash will be work perfect

  • Yes. Only got it today - no uptodate SIM yet - and immediately able to use with my home internet on WiFi. No problems.

  • It has an 8GB ROM with like 6GB usable and after all the updates like 4.32GB free for the user. I really like this phone.

  • I bought a Blu 5.0. 3 months ago, only had it for 1 week. Because some one stole. So I didn't get to see if it is really a great phone. Intend to buy another one soon, because I like the features and the brand. But wondering if it worth it? As I am now clearly seeing that persons are having problems with them.

  • Can you use this phone without a simcard and just use it through wifi?

  • yes i am having the same problem battery life is half of day

  • My phone keeps dropping the WiFi connection and the loudest ring is very low. How can I change this?

  • I have the 5.0 c. My computer cannot read it. Does anyone know how to make the computer see/read my phone? I've tried the options given, MTP, PTP and still cannot see/read it.

  • My battery life can't last half the day

  • I Just Want To Know Why My Phone Hangs Up After 4hours can You guys change this ?

  • My BlU Look but i have a few problem. 1 I have to charge my twice or sometimes 3 times a day. 2 My Phone saying 3G not 4G 3 It Get Hot Real Fast too.

  • Good choice. My wife has one and it has been solid and trouble free. While not an LTE phone, 3.5 G is usually called 4G and is HSPA+ not true 4GLTE. If on Tmobile or AT&T it will still be plenty fast on the downloads and will open web pages plenty fast. One benefit is battery life as LTE antennas use quite a bit more power. Have fun.

  • Just got my BLU 5.0C today. I thought these phones were 4G? Mine is only showing 3G?? Advice? And is there a way to turn off the haptic feedback when typing? TIA!

  • Can anyone help? My computer cannot see my phone. I switch it to mtp still doesn't show.

  • Why are the instructions booklets sooo small. Can hardly read it and the pictures are dark so you can't see what they are talking about or referring to. I have been looking for an online version but when I click on the Manual above, something else comes up.

  • How do you save contacts to the groups? I click edit so that I can add a contact where it says to put name and I hit done but yet, there are no names in the group. I also cannot add another group either as I get a message that I cannot add. I had a Blu Dash which also did not add contacts.

  • How do you save new contacts to the sim card? I have my contacts that were saved on my sim card that were transferred to my new phone but I want the new contact to come up when I send an email so that I do not have to keep typing in the whole email address. I want the email to come up when I put in the first letter so that I can just click on it.

  • Love this phone. The wi-fi range is better that iPhone's 5. The camera needs some improvement with close ups. Everything works great on this phone. Like the screen lock-out feature. The google play has every app you will ever need. We're buying a second one ! (For me!) Give a 4.5 star out if 5.

  • Does this phone work with Consumer Celular

  • try putting the area code in from of the number it worked for me

  • Inexpensive, works great, photos OK front & back , Storage plentiful, Stable, Sound good, mirror cast feature. Big Screen & small enough for man's pocket, calls sound best with speaker or earphone. Battery ok but w heavy use avg 2-5 hours unless keep apps closed. Was happily surprised for my use as has big screen. Mostly use it for bible audio & Memory verses

  • This is a question instead of an opinion... Is the phone compatible with u.s cellular? And how good is the camera?

  • Hi nene my name is Brittany and i am a professional computer/ technical worker i know all about diffrent types of technology. The reason your phone is doing what it is doing is most likely because of something to do with your battery or just your whole phone. I would recommend that you take it back to the carrier and let them have a look at it and/or get a new device. I hope with great wishes that my imformation helped. Thank You.

  • why is it went am getting a call the phone is ringing but it not showing u who calling u

  • I bought this phone 2 months ago and love it!! I was so happy about it and the best part was that the phone's color was beautiful. Then 1 week ago, the phone froze and the screen turn white. I decided to take out the battery and put it back in but the screen still didn't want to come on. After a few hours of getting the scree on, I gave up. I'm so disappointed because I only had the phone for two months!!! The weird part is that the phone is turning on, but the screen is completely blank. Have any had the same problem?

  • I m going to buy this phone hope i couldn't find any problem....

  • Add the area codes

  • Blu studio 6.0 lte after an upgrade does not recognize sim card. Big phone big waste of money.

  • make sure that you manually ysnc google apps. Settings>Sync>Google> all or click to see individual services you want synced. Manual syncing usually works for me after i import contacts.

  • How do you get your contacts name to show when you are getting an incoming call? I have tried everything from importing contacts to re-entering the conatacts but no success. I just got my Blu studio 5.0 C HD and I love it but this is the only hang up. Please help

  • can we change the OS to have the 2100 MHz frequency??

  • I have the same phone and all dual sim means it has two slots for sim cards so u can have two different numbersbin the same phone lol...hope this answered your question

  • You need to press +/- and power button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds. hope it works!

  • The something is happening to me

  • In this link is your rom and in this rom is the driver and the flash tool program to flash it

  • Studio 5.0 C HD error after system update...I just downloaded a "wireless update" for the Studio 5.0c HD and tried to install it, the installation was going fine but then, when I checked the phone, a "no command" sign appears (with the android robot laying down with a ! inside a red triangle), when I press the power button the usual recovery options appears (reboot system, apply update, wipe data, etc etc) so when I try to select any, again appears the "no command" sign. I can't select any option, so I can't do a factory reset. I don't know if the phone its bricked or anything. I don't know what to do. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks!

  • Hey my issue is its not reading d memory card for long, when it was new I had noo prob a few mths pass and in order for me to get stuff off my card I have to reboot my ph. When I do it only reads it for bout 5 mins

  • I was wondering why the phone has 2 sim card slots? I went and bought a simple mobile sim card it says dual im so confused about this phone can anyone help

  • Yes it does you choose one or the other similar depends on the task,for example there's Digicel and Lime in Jamaica where I'm from I use my Lime chip for data ans my Digicel for calls and texting but I can switch between the two to do any of the tasks listed above doesn't matter which SIM is in the number one slot if you get a call from either sim you will be able to answer and use it so the dual sim works you just don't know how to use the functions properly read your manual before you start posting unhelpful comments that'll discourage potential buyers I've had my phone for a month now and it's a great phone the battery maybe suck's but I get six hours out of heavy usage excluding gaming and it's fast reliable and efficient after 550 hours it started giving problems applications began to crash the phone slowed down so I rebooted it after that the phone was like new again no applications crashed and it was fast ans efficient again this a is a great phone I love mine, and that's coming from a heavy user.

  • Mine not working either

  • Yes. It supports T-Mobile. I just bought not too long ago. I was also wondering the same thin . And great news. THIS BLU PHONE WORKS FOR TMOBILE. AND THE 4G WORKS GREAT WITH TMOBILE. I LIKE. Battery lame. But it good for an unlock phone! :) oh another thing. The sim card is standard size. I have a tmobile micro size sim card. So i just ordered the sim card adapter to a standard size. :) and it works great! :)

  • Yes it does

  • Battery life is a joke, other than that it is a great phone for the price. Have not read anything about being able to buy a better or higher mah battery for this phone, if someone knows please let me know.

  • This phone do not 3G supported, Please arrange to 3G support function and update accordingly.

  • i had one a few months ago. the main problem is that the frequency used in india for 3g is 2100 mhz. blu studio 5.0c hd with d534l version will support but with d534u won't as no such frequency in such model. those who are trying to buy blu phones watch out that this frequency (2100 mhz) supports otherwise you have no option to use 3g services. also remember that 4g lte frequencies of blu phones doesn't support in india.

  • I got the BLU Studio 5.0C HD mobile through a friend. I am not able to get 3G signal in the mobile, when in India. Its os a D534u mobile. Could you help me out and advice if any changes can be made?

  • I just bought my phone 2-12-15 and it was working fine and about an hour or so later it asked for an update so I did it and now my phone is saying undetected Sim card and it won't show my 3G network and its saying no service at the bottom. Can anyone help me please

  • Yes

  • doesnt work with dual sim cards. you can only select one or the other which makes this phone useless to me.

  • yes I believe so but its always good to check with your service provider

  • Does this phone work with T mobile sim cards, and t-mobile's plans?

  • not getting d contact names for incoming calls only number help

  • I too am very much enjoying this phone for the most part. One problem I'm having - when I go to my list of contacts, I get a message saying "Contact list is being updated." It's done this before, but, after a little while, all my contacts show up again. However it has now been "updating" all day. Can anyone help? Thanks!

  • please write to all the shortcomings and advantages phone

  • I bought mine on amazon I downloaded something and it said that the launcher 3 isn't responding so they sent me a new one I downloaded the same thing and the same thing happened I cannot factory reset it at all

  • I can't download anything is there possibly a website that tells you what apps this phone can download?? I downloaded ifunny and now my phone is saying launcher 3 is not responding anyone who knows how to troubleshoot it I have tried hard reset multiple times and it won't I just want my phone to work anyone who can help please!! If anyone can help please email me at [email protected] please anything

  • Mostly I've been pleased with it but yesterday it completely locked up on me, it went unresponsive, power off didn't even work for nearly two minutes! Very weird. A week ago it was acting like a cripple, long delays in response or recognition of a key pushed or icon tapped. This happened also a month ago, otherwise the phone works quite well. Anyways, I've decided to return it to Amazon. I'd appreciate a 16x9 photo aspect ratio. Btw, I was using the Kingston Digital 16 GB Class 4 microSDHC Flash Card with SD Adapter (SDC4/16GBET). Battery life could be improved.

  • What I kikkat

  • Same problem here

  • I'm having trouble with images burning into the screen anyone else

  • It is cuz d flash is too close to the camera

  • in the philippines, its myphone agua rio

  • I own this phone personally. I have to say you will be impressed and wont be disappointed with this phone at all. Yes, the camera can use a little bit of work but honestly, if your me and you dont care about instagram or crap like that and you want a reliable phone thats fast and can do the job. This phone will do it. The camera isnt bad, its really not. Battery life sucks, I emailed BLU and asked if they are making extended batteries for this and they said they will be soon so I am waiting for that but in the mean time, get a external battery pack on amazon like I did. The screen is great and I love it for movies.

  • MY REVIEW: I bought this phone a few months ago and its really not bad at all for the price. the phone isnt as fragile as it seems. it fell as few times and was unmarked as well as fully functional. my only down points are: the headphone quality isnt impressive but it gets the job done and even though the video camera quality is truly 1080p amazingly clear quality, the photo aspect of the camera isnt very good.

  • @nevada92, you're either just down on Blu, or got a bad phone. Mine works great, battery lasts for days. I bought this on an Amazon sale for $80 total, just to play around with it. It's now replaced the Note 2 as my main phone. My contract's up, I could get a new phone but with phones like this why lock up.

  • Highly warn people to not buy this phone. Phone keeps stating sim card not detected even though i have service. Plus battery life is crap it only lasts like maybe 2hrs. And on top of that it starts running hot when I've been on it 20mins. If I had known all this I would have never bought this phone plus there isn't a warranty so if it breaks which I've only had it 5days and I already know it will end up over heating this month probably then I'm out of $130 so yea I'm a little pissed with the quality of this phone when I could have easily bought something else. But now I've learned my lesson never buy products from a brand you have never heard of :)

  • Standard sim card. I use T-Mobile.

  • Sim card is STANDARD, not mini or macro

  • its honestly a great phone. takes amazing pictures but the thing is, the screen i was given cracks very easily and i have a screen protector on. other than that my BLU Studio 5.0 C HD is great. :)

  • I have bought this phone. There are some problems : 1-The mobile is not detecting memory card although same is being detected by my another mobile (Huawie) 2-Flash Light is giving more yellowish shade so pics taken are also having a yellow shade thats much disturbing. please guide ,,

  • Anyone tell me that can this mobile be upgraded to kitkat?????? I have this mobile phone but it is android 4.2.2 jelly bean..........

  • 3G of D534U model doesn't work in Bahrain, as it doesn't have the frequency 2100 and it will only work on the 2G network. Please be sure to buy the D534L model.

  • This phones D534U model's 2100 MHz frequency is missing. So 3G will not work in india. pl ensure that you buy with D534L.version.

  • yes but dont pay an arm and leg for it. look at the price on amazon and pay accordingly. Many people selling blu like name brand and its really not. its just china phone with blu branding.

  • This message should be written by BLU. Not By using customer. No One customer appreciate such much.

  • I've had this phone for about three weeks and it is awesome. Is it a super phone? No. But it costs a quarter of a superphone. It's excellent for the price. Big, crisp screen, good battery life, great camera, a good processor and enough space to install an impressive number of apps. It only has 4GB of internal memory, which is my biggest gripe, but it has a micro SD slot. Use the internal for apps and the SD for everything else and you'll be fine. Plus, it has Dual SIM slots (they are full-sized slots on mine) so you can run with two providers at the same time. Very handy for cross-border travel. Highly recommended. I was amazed when I saw the price on this - only $150 shipped to my door on Amazon.

  • Mini sim

  • What it mean by SSID

  • What size Sim cards does it support?

  • Can this phone be used with bell mobility in Canada, I bought one and it says it works with hspa+ which is what bell uses... Also, does mini Sim refer to a micro Sim ?

  • yes it is a unlocked phone it can work. it can also work with Lime and seeing that it is a dual sim (two sim cards) both Digicel and Lime (cw) can work at the same time.

  • Yes it can

  • Could this phone be used in the Caribbean. Specifically with Digicel or B-Mobile?

  • Myphone Rio 'to

  • Been having a problem looking at YouTube videos. It freezes the video but the audio keeps going. Anyone experiencing problems such as this?

  • according to reviews on Amazon battery life doesnt last a full day with considerable use. the camera is an 8 megapixel.

  • I am having issues receiving/sending MMS messages. I have set the APN according to straight talk, but still can't get them. Is anyone sending/receiving MMS messages with this phone through Straight Talk? If so, please can u tell me how? Include APN settings you use please!?

  • I've had this phone for a little over a week. I bought it at Walmart online, shipped free to the store for $100.That was the price for either the black or white. Colors go for an extra $50USD. The colors are nice, but I just couldn't see the value there. Also bought a 2 year warranty for $24USD. Be advised this is the D534U model. I was told by BLU that the D534L model isn't out yet. The difference is the added GSM 2100 band if that is important to you. I love this phone so far. I'm coming from an Atrix 4g and this is a big improvement. Also be advised that this phone cannot be rooted as of right now; there is a problem with the updated Kit Kat 4.4.2.being exploited from what I gathered at the XDA forums. Anyway, at the price for these specs, you can't beat it. Go BLU!

  • Incorrect data. Phone doesn't have a compass.

  • Nice phone blu keep it up

  • i jus bought this phone from my brother and selected factory reset to load my info .....and it bricked up can someone help ....the green android logo with a red triangle keeps flashing and the phone is not restarting

  • the os which is (kit kat) takes up the space on the device so a sd card is needed to store more app and medea. apps can be move to sd by going into settings then apps then downloaded apps and can move some over to sd.

  • I have the studio 5.0 ii and will be buying the c HD. You can get it on amazon for like $150 new.

  • Takes good pictures and the phone is fast,only issue is 4gb instead of 8gb because when I got it it only had 2gb or less left.

  • How is the camera and battery life?
