Blu Vivo 8: Start up pin no longer there.

Tue, 03 Apr 2018 10:50:41 -0700

I used to have a startup pin that before Android booted I had to enter. I did this when encrypting the phone. The pin is no longer prompted but my settings say it is still encrypted. Any ideas?

Blu Vivo 8: Home button doing everything else but going home

Fri, 27 Sep 2019 07:48:48 -0700

So I went to sleep with my phone working normally and when I wake up the home button is not working. I restart the phone and no difference but then I realized that the fingerprint sensor is still working perfectly normal. So the button itself is responsive in that respect it's just not performing it's primary function which is to take me to the home screen. Anyone have any solutions?

Blu Vivo 8: Constantly Have to Turn Wifi On & Off

Sun, 26 Jan 2020 23:26:41 -0700

I have a Blu Vivo 8 and recently (a little less than a year ago) it started having issues where the wifi would say it is connected, but it was not really. You would have to turn the wifi off and turn it back on for it to work again for a while. I thought it was a corrupted file issue, so I did a factory reset and cleared cache files from bios. This worked for a day, but then the issue came back. I also have similar issues with Bluetooth so I assume the issue is the wifi/BT board. But I cannot seem to find that part or a way to test that. Any ideas?

Blu Vivo 8: Ghost Writing and Screen Jumps Around

Fri, 07 Sep 2018 09:48:41 -0700

My screen acts all nervous jumping around and ghost typing texts when I am texting and even send them…it’s so random but happening too often. I have booted many times and it doesn’t fix for long. I darken the screen and then bring it back up to clear it. It has never been wet nor have I dropped it on a hard surface like cement. I have dropped in on carpet. Is the circuit bad or somehow dirty?
