  • My phone was purchased in the States and taken to me in j.A it had always worked fine since the last couple a days it is only going on E and works very slow my internet that is, and it use to always be on H+ and worked fast..... What can I do to fix this problem please its important I have my data working up to speed as it use to.

  • My understandin is that the H indicate 4g service. This info was given to my by tmobile store techs.

  • I've had the Blu Studio since March, & it's always worked perfectly fine. My service provider is Straight Talk,the other night I went & put more minutes on the phone. Now it won't come on, it goes to the BLU screen & won't go past it. I don't know how to fix it. I've taken the battery out multiple times; tried everything I know. Please if someone knows how to fix this issue, let me know. Thanks in advance!(:

  • I bought the phone under the impression it was 4G LTE, but the most I can get is 3G (and that hardly ever happens). Its almost always on H and runs really slow. How can I get it to 4G?

  • Can someone plz tell me what's wrong with my camera it said "unfortunately gallery has stopped" I can't get it to start working

  • No. And this information was confirmed by BLU. So do not worry about Kit Kat. Regards.

  • Perform a hard reset on the phone. Heads up though, doing a hard reset will delete all data that are saved in the internal memory of the phone. Hard reset is the most effective way in resolving your issue.

  • I am having some serious problems with my phone is shut down and wont turn on. can any one tell me what to do ???

  • I m from bangladesh 3G is not sapport here, any help?

  • I have the same thing happened too want to YouTube it will help you

  • Does anyone else have problems like apps crashing when they are already updated and services on the phone crashing and getting messages likes "Unfortunetly, Messages had stopped or Email has stopped." Eventually the whole phone messes up and the message keep popping up stopping you from doing anything. It wont even give me an option to tuen on my wifi and update anything and not saving contacts. Sometimes musics player would just crash and cannot access my camera or gallery. Anytrouble shooting tips will help thats my only problem.

  • I just got this phone on Friday. I've always had IPhones for the past 5 years but didn't want to pay the price any longer & came across this model. I'm using a AT&T str8 talk 4g sim card and so far so good. Just taking getting used to the android keyboard but satisfied with purchase.

  • I puchased this phone and, overall, am very happy with it. The low screen resolution is not as bad as I had feared. But I do have an issue with its ability to deal with a weak signal. I live in a fringe area (rural), and I cannot get any kind of decent signal there (T-Mobile). If I fire up my Samsung Exhibit II 4g, I have no problem at all with signal, so I know it is definitely the phone. I wish that Blu would understand that not everyone lives in the city and provide a phone with the sort of receptor that will accommodate a weak signal. If you live in a fringe area and do not have a strong signal, I suggest you consider a different phone.

  • copy the song from on your memory card, and paste it to the phone's internal memory "ringtone file" and then you will be able to access the ringtone to use it. steps: 1. go to the file manager on the phone 2.go into sd card and choose song 3.hold down the song file until u see the option to copy it(usually an icon looking like two pages). select 4.go back twice till u see the screen with the sd card and the phone storage. 5. scroll down till you see the ringtone file. go into it and . at the bottom of the screen you will see the option to paste. do so 6. go into settings and audio settings and u will scroll till you see the specific ringtone you pasted. 7. THERE YOU GO :) HOPE THIS WAS USEFUL.
