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

Wed, 09 Jan 2019 08:15:47 -0700

I am thinking about trying to get a new screen for it, but I am able to connect and download contents other than my SMS and MMS text messages. I believe I have to put the device in download mode or root the device, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to do either of these without the use of the screen. Any ideas?

BLU Life XL: Mine is actually a blu life one x3 but I didn't find it on the list

Mon, 05 Nov 2018 17:00:45 -0700

I find that whenever I play music, or any sound for that matter, it only comes out of the left speaker. (internal phone speaker) is there any way to get a mono MP3 to play out of both speakers? I’d rather have it louder than in sterio.

BLU Life XL: Assist option on my keyboard is missing

Mon, 18 Jun 2018 14:09:43 -0700

When holding down a word on my keyboard to highlight it. Cut, Copy,Paste, and More pops up (3 dots icon) . When I press the more icon Select all is the only option the assist option cannot be found anywhere on my keyboard. I need this option On my keyboard because it is a crucial step when by passing google account setup after Factory reset has been done. Being the new owner after purchasing the used phone this has been extremely frustrating,but now that I found a way around it the keyboard not having assist option is the only thing that is keeping me locked out of my new phone. SOMEONE PLZZZ HELP.

BLU Life XL: BLU Life One X2 won't connect to WiFi network that everyone else can

Tue, 13 Feb 2018 15:25:19 -0700

I was hoping I could get some help. My phone has been having an issue with connecting to certain wifi networks. More specifically my school's networks. Only a few spots around the school are able to connect for me and even when connected the speed is almost unusable. I have never had this issue and used to have connection literally anywhere in the school. I'm not sure what the issue is. Sometimes I will see the network name listed, but trying to connect to it I get only 3 different messages: "saved", "connecting...", And "wifi connection error". I'm not sure what the issue is because no one else has this issue (both Android and IOS users). Same goes for the school's sister networks (ones for guest login and administration use) My best guess is that either my connection is dropped automatically for being poor, I've been blocked from connecting to it somehow, or that something is running interference with that specific wavelength (2.4 GHz). I could really use some ideas on what my issue is and how to solve it. It's eating away at my data and my school already has terrible 4g LTE reception as it is. Would anything like using a proxy when connecting or a VPN prevent my connection from being dropped? Or should I invest in a new phone? Please help (thanks in advance)
