  • i have a problem with Reached the optimal operational status when I open my mobile or when i open the other apps..please help me how to slove this??...

  • For vivo phones, kill/shut down apps will stop it from functioning even in background.. so your whatsapp won't show notification if you killed the apps.. How to solve : go to i-manager, click "app manager", select "autostart manager" then switch on apps that you want to get notification.. P/S: flicking the locked apps manually will force kill the apps.. use the "speed up" instead

  • 70% storage used for cache.. almost 200mb when y15 say storage full.. How to solve : open i-manager,go to "phone clean", select "space clean", scan, then clear the cache..

  • Y15 updateဘယ္&#412­4;ိုလု&a­mp;#4117;္ရမ&#­4157;ာလဲ

  • Ive been using this phone vivo. The phone is best. Other than that this phone never hang. The use of batteries is also slow to finish while playing internet use data.

  • i have this phone and its not asking me to do this at all, youre probably a guerilla marketer working for another brand.

  • Bad phone...it has nothing to be cleaned but still asking to clean up system space...how to so solve this prob

  • bbm not autostart

  • Yess this is really good phone

  • it's RAM is just 512 MB.. but never takes hang keep performing awesome speed..... bacame a fan of vivo...!!!!!!!

  • I'M using vivo y15... and its doing awesome....!!!!!!

  • problem with apps and plus mine not even 4gb internel what happen ..i buy this phone at vivo shop and also its original..i just realise this

  • I think Vivo y15 is a good phone Why so many complains.

  • My opinion is, if you want a phone that functions all as to your needs, buy a phone that is RM1000.00 above. Buy a very expensive phone then maybe there s no problem, as for me, i bought vivo Y15 and OPPO find 7 the same day and no complain for me. If vivo give problem, i use oppo...problem solved...rather than complain so much. Next time you want to buy a phone, ask the sales person, What is the disadvantages or badness of this phone? Instead of what is the advantages of this phone cos everyone will say all the best thing about a phone. Thank you

  • I want to ask one question ... Is it true that I Y15 vivo infected? Because while I was downloading songs suddenly there was a warning sign my android likely to be infected with a virus and need to be scanned, but scan mark is not moving (not i manager) ... When I buy vivo Y15, prometer was told not to worry if there are infected with virus and no need to download any kind of antivirus though because I can use (i manager) to get rid of the virus .. But is it true that if the scan just using the application (i manager) virus could be lost?
