BLU Life XL: How to bypass google verification

Wed, 27 Nov 2019 17:44:15 -0700

I bought a Blu life xl from someone and it was already factory reset. I can not get past the Google verification screen and can not get ahold of the person I bought it from. Is there another way to get past this?

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

My phone gets white lines on it when the screen is on for too long and the only way to fix it is to push the power button to turn off the screen. Why does this happen and how do I fix this?

Blu Life XL: data access suddenly stopped working

Wed, 03 May 2017 06:15:23 -0700

I actually have a Blue Life XL. About a month ago, data stopped working and I assumed it was a provider issue. Two calls to them led to the conclusion that it's NOT them. All the rest of the family continue on with no data issue on their iPhones. T-Mobile offered little guidance as it is a non-network phone.

Was working fine for several months until non-wifi data suddenly stopped working and I don't know where to start in trying to fix it.

BLU Life XL: My phone has locked me out!

Thu, 30 Nov 2017 13:42:46 -0700

My phone is the BLU LIfe One X2. It prompted me to update my wireless software (sort of like the software update of the phone) and I did.

It than prompted me to install the update after which it rebooted and requested for my unlock PIN. After keying in my unlock PIN, it said that's the wrong PIN. I have tried again and again, rebooting, powering off and on again, it keeps asking for the PIN. I have 101% sure of the PIN the I am keying in but it won't work. Now, it has given me a warning that if I input a wrong PIN 9 more times, my phone will be wiped.

Does anyone have an idea of what PIN it's talking about? I have even tried the conventional 1234 and also 0000 but none of that works.

Any help would be highly appreciated.
