BLU VIVO 5R: mobile phone doesn´t charge / telefono no carga

Sat, 25 May 2024 20:59:49 -0700

Dear all,

I bought my BLU VIVO 5R 2 months ago in Ciudad del Este, Paraguay and my phone is currently not charging at all. It seems like it´s a software problem because sometimes when it´s ON and I plug the power wire it suddenly reboot the mobile phone. And it only charge if it´s OFF, but when you´re using it, the battery drops very fast.

BLU Service wants me to send the device to Asunción, PY, or to Montevideo, Uruguay. It´s just crazy as f...!

Anyone can help me?

Hola a todos,

Compré mi equipo BLU VIVO 5R en Ciudad del Este, Paraguay 2 meses atrás. Hace poco tiempo el teléfono dejó de cargar correctamente. Carga únicamente si está apagado (pero sin mostrar nada en la pantalla ni prender ninguna luz) y si está prendido directamente no carga y se reinicia cuando enchufo el cable. Si está funcionando, la batería se descarga demasiado rápido.

El Servicio Técnico de BLU me pide que mande el teléfono a Asunción o a Montevideo, que son los centros de Servicio Técnico más cercanos. Eso es una locura!

Alguien que por favor me ayude o aocnseje?

Mil gracias!

Blu Advance 5.0: Phone will not charge

Thu, 03 Dec 2020 07:40:30 -0700

My BLU Advanced 5.2 will not charge, I noticed this when I left it to charge at 44% and came back an hour later seeing it at 30%, The phone is dead now and I can't get into recovery mode because there is no battery power left. When I try, the recovery mode screen pops up for 1 second then the phone turns off again. I googled some ways to fix this and one of the ways was to take out the battery and put it back in, sadly my battery is unremovable. I know the problem isn't my charger because I tested it on my brother's phone and the charger works fine. I know it's not the wall outlet either because if that was the case my computer wouldn't be charging and I tried all the wall outlets in the house, and I get the same issue. Any solutions to this would be highly appreciated, Thank you. (specs for this phone found below)

BLU LIFE XL: Phone refuses to connect to internet and refuses to read sim card?

Wed, 05 Feb 2020 05:44:54 -0700

After attempting to update my BLU LIFE (which didn't work. It came across an error, with the little android's stomach flipped open, though it didn't what, the only thing I could do was pull my battery out after trying to exit the terminal-looking area.), the wireless update went down.

Soon after, some apps would refuse to move to my SD card, and sometimes the SD card won't even read. Now, when I turn the phone on, a black screen with a white square pops up, stating it's optimizing and starting all of my apps.

Just today, it stopped reading my sim card (said there wan't one inserted), and though I'm connected to internet, it says I'm not. I just tried turning my phone off then on multiple times, I switched the sim card into the second slot, and back and forth a few times, and nothing changed. I'm not sure what I should do? ||the internet took almost half an hour to work||

Also, my phone is a custom build, if that may have anything to do with it? Build Version: BLU_L050U_V13_GENERIC 21-06-16 14:46

BLU Studio 5.0 II: phone mute won't turn off

Wed, 20 Nov 2019 12:49:34 -0700

the phone mute is stuck on, ie there is a angle line drawn thru the microphone icon and of course my called end can't hear me. tapping the microphone icon does nothing. My blue tooth head piece works fine.

this happens even tho phone volume is turned up all the way and the blue tooth is shut off

if the microphone is broken this will be my 3rd messed up blu phone. I guess they can't deliver the quality needed at the very low price they charge for the feature rich phone.

BLU Studio 5.0 II: Phone suddenly overheats, 1 SIM stops working, can't make calls, etc.

Mon, 17 Oct 2016 09:26:55 -0700

1. Phone suddenly starts to overheat.

2. 1 SIM card stops working in it (works in another phone)

3. Other SIM card works/detected but says: "DIALLING" until it "timed out" or eventually goes through.

4. Battery then goes bad and swells.

5. Same problem even when battery replaced, it just drain the battery to nothing - literally!

BLU Studio 5.0 S II: Headphones dont show up and sound plays through speakers.

Sun, 13 Dec 2015 09:56:00 -0700

The device under this is incorrect. I purchased a BLU Studio X in the month August from Amazon. It is quite buggy, but my main concern is that headphones do not show up when I plug them in most of the time, and when they do work, they only work for a short time and then the issue returns. Sound plays through the speakers, and there is no notification that shows up signaling a headphones input.
