BLU Studio 5.0 LTE - User Reviews

  • HI. to get your PC to connect to the phone go to device manager on the PC there will be a yellow exclamation mark, just right click on it to update drivers but click on let me pick from a list and the drivers will update, the only thing is you cant still upload music or pictures

  • me too, i read in google is a posible delete part a rom of a dispositive. you need fix a this part of system.

  • do you have lcd for studio 5.0 lte available? i need one pls :(

  • i lost wifi access completely how do i get it back

  • i have one and my owns een upgrading why is that tell me plz

  • Bought a Blu Studio 5.0 lte. failed after 5 months, after waiting close to 2 months for their various warranty options (all the offerings were far inferior to the phone I purchased) I had to accept a sub standard phone as a replacement. Highly recommend you do not purchase a Blu phone of any caliber.

  • I got one brand new and it keeps telling me it need WiFi update . I push download and it will not download the update.I'm ready to return if I can't get help. Is they're anyway to download file from my laptop directly to my phone

  • I have the same exact phone in orange. When it freezes all you have to do is take the battery out for 10 minutes. Of that doesn't work do a soft reset and that should do the trick

  • This phone is beautiful but the worst phone I ever used. It just freezes and I cannot get it back on. Please help

  • Got this phone for Christmas and I loved it! Bright color, simple Android phone, and enough functionality for my needs. Unfortunately, after a year and exactly a month from receiving this phone, it started freezing. Taking out the battery and reinserting it was the only way to unfreeze it. I did it at least 10 times a day. It would freeze in the middle of the night and none of my alarms would go off in the morning. I love it so much that I don't want to get a new phone, however, BLU services were not very helpful. They DO NOT answer emails sent to them for inquiries. And after backing up my data for a factory reset for an attempt to fix this thing, I don't know how to transfer my files back to the phone. It doesn't give you the option. Connecting it to your computer doesn't work because it doesn't even identify a device being plugged in. The File Explorer app doesn't help either. copying and pasting files to the phone doesn't give you the option of using the apps or the contacts you transferred to the sd card. It just takes up space on your phone's internal memory. Everything just sucks now.

  • I got this phone and i plugged it up than i have no control over ,i cant text i can look at notification i cant look at the phone button thing!!! What do i do

  • L

  • ABSOLUTELY WORST PHONE EVER !!!i received this phone for my BD in June. FYI i have the HD version. well within a month of receiving this phone, it began to freeze up...phone would just lock on whatever screen i happened to be on. only fix was to remove the battery. needless to say i spend more time removing the battery to reset my phone than actually y using it. i have written to the company numerous times to complain and ask if there was anything i could so such as upgrades, or whatever....of course never heard a word from this company,.... worst ever to deal with...spend a little extra and get a samsung....thats who i am going back to...and the 13 mp camera on this HD one i got is horrible....takes worse pics than an 8mp....

  • I've had this for not even two months now and the longer I had the phone the more problems it caused... when I open apps it runs nicely for a few minutes and then it lagges for two minutes and then it crashes with the message "Unfortunately*app* has stopped working" my keyboard lags every few seconds and the battery life barely lasts me the day... Do any of you know how to fix this?

  • I am very disapointed in Blu Studios I adored my phone it means everything to me . Well for no apparent rason it malfunctioned and I have been without a phone going on three weeks now. I am usually very busy I am on disability and want nothing mor than to regain my life back as a normal working citizen. I enjoy helping others I long to minister for this is my calling. Without a phone my hands are tied I am without smiles and laughter which also brings down my peers.... Blu PROMISED ME MY PHONE IN THREE TO FIVE DAYS It's been three weeks Please I need my phone They have recieved all they need I have warranty What is the hold up ....I use straight talk for service because I'm beginning life again ssi is week term of income so I wasted fifty dollars on a service I could not use Tinav Ardito I loved my phone while it worked a very short period of time

  • Some times my phone not showing display when call comes. Some times my phone is completely display off for hours. Will anyone face such problem .please give me sugessions to overcome the problem

  • I just bought other headphones because my original blu headphones went bad. The phone wont allow it to skip or pause music or change the volume. The headphones work fine with other phones and even a blu studio c. Is there a setting i can change to fix this?

  • I just got this bli studio 5.0 and I cannot figure out how to block my ex! Please help

  • The camera is amazing! It takes crystal clear pictures, the only problem is the picture takes forever to take. The phone will restart itself alot, or freeze. The speaker isn't the greatest. After a few weeks it gets really fuzzy. Also, I don't like the fact that you can't silence your camera shutter sound.

  • Can this phone be used on straight talk??

  • What area, button or icon etc does one tap to answer incoming calls???!? I just got this and there is zero about the phone and basic operations of it but lots about the other features web,phone etc I have yet to and Figure out how to answer incoming calls.

  • I just bought a BLU 5.0 HD LTE . the manual covers every Feature except the main one...the phone...I cannot figure out how to answer incoming calls!!?! Their help desk is closed on weekends. What does one tap...slide...to answer calls? I have tapped the phone icon and every other spot but can not answer incoming calls. Please advise . thanks I

  • root your phone, install exposed framework and then install gravity box, you can then configure the phone to use the soft touch buttons as notification light

  • I just got my phone today.. over all im happy, except that I dont seem to have a notification light. I usually keep my phone on silent and with not having a light blinking I dont always know when i have a text. I went thry every setting and couldnt not find anything to fix that. Does it just not have one?

  • You need to get the MMS settings that your carrier uses and input them yourself.

  • You can move the app to your SD card, go to setting, manage apps and select the app. If there is nowhere to select move to sd card is because that app can't be moved. I have this phone.

  • How can I move app to SD card? I went to setting, manage apps and there is nowhere to select move to sd card. Help me please?

  • I have the same probkem and i havent been able to find a solution either

  • How do you get minutes on it like which plan services

  • Yes I getting 4 bars lte

  • I own the blu 5.0 lte now how do I get a user manual

  • I have the phone too and its great

  • I bought the Blu Studio 5.0 lte about a month ago and it has been working just fine. I noticed that when charging the screen goes kind of slow. I don't know if that is normal on this brand. Also I noticed that the phone bended from it's corners. Does anyone experienced any of this problems?

  • I just recently purchased the Blu Studio 5.0 LTE and the phone works accordingly to its specifications. Out if my full navigational experience with this phone I've only encountered 1 problem and its a major one. I'm currently on Family Mobile and somehow with this phone I get no service. I've gotten service only a few times, but totally out of my regular location. The phone sent me a free message saying: Free Msg: We see your phone does not have correct settings to access the Internet or send MMS. Settings will be sent to your handset for installation if not already received. If prompted, use pin 1234 to configure your settings. I'm not exactly sure what the message means or how helpful it really is but I would really like to make calls and texts on this phone. After all, isn't that what a phone is mainly used for? Please, if you have encountered this sort of problem and can help me fix my device, it would be much appreciated.

  • Delete your call log... this will cure the slow to dial problem. It is searching through every number in the log which slows it down. I have been unable a find a setting to limit the call log to less than 500.

  • Have had this phone for several months and have been generally happy with it. My unsolved problem is it ofthen shows the error "unfortunately contacts has stopped" often this happens when it receives a call. It also called a number in my contacts on its own today twice.

  • That's very very true.... I went through 2 or 3 pairs of headphones before I realized it was the phones audio.

  • The audio with headphones is not so great. The volume is really low. At first I thought my headphones were broken but when I put them on my old phone they sounded fine so its the phone that has bad audio. Sometimes the volume lowers and then raises again.. Its really annoying.

  • How is the audio output of this phone? I means the quality with headsets?

  • I own a 5.0 lte. It runs 4.3 jellybean. I'm switching from a s3 and this thing is "in my opinion" is one step above. The phone is light, and easy to navigate with one hand. The only problem I have is. When I try to make a call it take a second to register the dial keys. I dial the number and it pauses for 2seconds to process the touches.

  • Overstock.com ships to canada

  • I purchased this model and find that it is not equipted as specified. The box shows a 1.2ghz processor instead of the listed 1.4ghz, expandable memory 32mb not 64mb, and the battery is 2000mah not 2200mah. I also will agree to the lack of information in the user manual in another posted comment. One other troubling aspect is the inability to confirm that is has the other system items at the levels indicated such as bluetooth 4.0, or wifi with "n" and "ac" bands. It seems to be quite alot of phone for the money but just not what I thought I was getting.

  • No I ran a benchmark on phone max is 1199

  • I would say it is not the easiest of phone to manage and more user info should be given in the manual.

  • Is anyone Using the "BLU Studio 5.0 LTE" on Straight Talk in the St. Louis Area?

  • Buying tomorrow, lets hear it..... Speak now or forever hold your peace!

  • Just a warning for all smartphones with 4 GB Internal memory Android can not deal with 4.4.2 its to big. You may at best get 5-8 aps on this phone and that's it, only certain apps will go on the SD Card. Any apps needing to run internally on phone memory and well you can guess the rest! Don't understand why they didn't do this in a 8 or 16GB ROM. I've used BLU phones and still use one and 4.4.2 totally screwed my BL play with 4GB ROM.

  • 1.4ghz is the turbo speed that the CPU boost up to . 1.2ghz normal usage

  • Why do they advertise the blu studio lte as a 1.4 when its a 1.2 that's deception.

  • How is the memory? Will i run out of memory in a month by using Facebook, twitter, or instagram? Have had problems with things not being stored on the ROM or the Sd card.

  • Go into your settings

  • I own the blu studio 5.0 lte and chasten several things, snapdragon processor is 400, but the msm 8226, 8926. The sound is great, especially with headphones ...And the clock speed is 1.2ghz not 1.4ghz ... The screen is fine, the cameras do not stick but the front is good, and the update has not yet reached a kitkat

  • Phone real nice for price but surprisingly bigger than I anticipated but overall wonderful phone even come with case and a screen protector when purchased thru amazon!

  • I think, there is no Corning gorilla glass...

  • Why don't send mensgge multimedia or MMS only SMS?

  • will this work on NET10?

  • Over a month of use my unit has worked well on T-Mobile and Metro Pcs as well blu UI different be useful speaker loud camera good videos good for the price $185-199 4g LTE this phone gets 5 stars period good good for a midrange device keep up the good work blu!!! My other phones i have owned HTC 7 N-8 droid x and x2 galaxy 1-4 notes 1 and 2 now i own the Huawei mate 2 USA version
