BLU Vivo 4.8 HD - User Reviews

  • My sim card wont fit back into sim card slot.

  • i have a blu vivo 4.8 hd its started freezing and seized working. i have have tried it to get it repaired and failed. it is a good phone but to buy spares it very expensive' these phone now its a toy for my son.

  • I bout a vivo air phone 3 months ago but it's given a lot of head ache. Now can't have access on any of the programmes in the phone let alone to make calls or receive them. Any icon I clicked a square box will show on that icon and it will not open.

  • my phone just overheated and cut off an never came back on plz help plz

  • This phone functions well, it is fast, has a great camera etc. BUT !!! the screen is horrible. in 1 week the first one broke in my pocket, and the second fell to the floor-face down and shattered like a windscreen! i've had many other, CHEAPER phones which fell from greater heights, were kicked, inadvertently thrown and scattered into pieces BUT NEVER BROKE! PUT PIECES BACK TOGETHER AND WORK LIKE NORMAL. This was the only disappointment with this lovely, sleek phone.

  • Turn your phone off and press the volume down button for the whole time until it is conpletely turned off! When you turn it on and press the volume down button for the entire time you put it into safe mode

  • I have had this phone for 4 months now when it rings I am not hearing anything unless its on speaker. Could you assist me please.

  • I love my phone except I cannot play videos on Facebook or look at pictures half the time. Other than that I have no real complaints. Do you know how to remedy this? I have already uninstalled the app twice. Cannot do a hard reset it wipes out the carrier settings. I've switched carriers twice.

  • @Penny : Just perform a hard reset on the phone that might solve the issue.

  • I've had my Blu Vivo 4.8 HD for 3 months. Recently it went into safe mode, now I cant access anything on my phone not even a call. I can see when my phone is ringing, but I cannot accept the call even if i touch the screen to accept it. i love my phone very much can anyone tell me how to get this problem resolved?

  • Does this phone have a flashing LED notification indicator?

  • Just happened to me do the following to reset the device..Hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power.

  • Did you get a response/solution? Have the same problem.

  • I've had my Vivo 4.8 for about 4 months if so much but i ran into a major problem only yesterday where my phone just cut off and refused to come back on, I later tried taking out the sim card and putting it back in but still nothing. When i tried charging it, it showed that it's being charged but i still can't power it on, now sure if it's the power button or what but i really like this phone and refuse to get rid of it, can anyone help me plzzzzzz:( ???????

  • you can screenshot by pressing the volume down and the locking button at the same time

  • I like my phone alot yes i do , but unfortunetly im having a problem with sound. Only way i can hear my ohone ring is through my headset , if i unplug the headset i cannot hear.

  • BLU vivo 4.8 How do you screenshot in this device

  • How can I snapshot or screenshot?

  • I bought this phone thinking on it was dual sim, and it isn´t.

  • They look similar, that's a fact, but to be precise, they are different in sizes, different screen sizes, different display type, different battery, somebody informed could say that they are a lot of differences between them to say they are the same model with just a different logo...and I dont have anything to do with either, just look here at gsmarena on the comparison between the 2 models...

  • Will this phone work in kenya? is the warranty international or just US?

  • This has been sold in Indonesia by the name Polytron Wizard Crystal 4 (W8480)

  • I'm wait in indonesia

  • Yes. AT+T is a bona fide GSM network carrier. End Of...

  • The Vivo 4.8 can be used with any GSM network. You just need to make sure that you purchase the right model for compatibility for the 3G/4G network. In reagrds to SIM card that this device uses is a Micro SIM card. If you need any assistance with BLU Products, please contact our technical support department. You can reach them at [email protected].

  • PLZ CAN THIS PHONE WORK ON at and t network and what kind of sim card does it use because i have the normal sim card thanks

  • Yes it is gionee e5. May be discounted version as may be gionee e5 sales not picking up.

  • So this is the gionee elife e5. Even I could launch a phone, if all it take is to slap my logo onto a phone someone else designs and manufactures.
