This problem exists on almost all of their Android devices.<br /><br />This will never be addressed by Tracone. Tracfone has stated that they do not support patches to the OS. This effectively means that they do, in fact, support the security breach itself. So, think about that. Is it worth it?

It's fast, has all the latest stuff and easy to use. Even my friends are jealous of the screen size. The camera is great, granted not the best but hey I've seen crappy pics with better phones and great pics with crappy phones, so no worries there. I'm getting rid of my iPod because this plays music and I hook it up to my car stereo. I've been using a bluetooth headset because our town has passed laws against using phones while driving. Works great. The only two complaints I have is that the lack of memory in the phone should be against the law. I'm very limited in what apps I can have on the phone, but I guess that may be just as well since I don't need that many. I use Chrome for Facebook as the FB app is a memory hog. Also the version of Android on this phone is great until it comes to wanting to transfer things to the memory card. I can't even install apps to the memory card like I can on my tablet. Overall worth every penny I paid for the phone and then some.Daenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074262696604727054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677003350229363498.post-20618831777549679422015-11-04T10:07:02.751-06:002015-11-04T10:07:02.751-06:00A factory reset clears out all apps and bring the ...A factory reset clears out all apps and bring the phone back to its original settings when you purchased it.

He's having trouble with the screen occasionally freezing, and not responding to any touches/swipes for a few minutes. He can be using various applications on Wifi - gmail, chrome - and it has happened at a couple locations. The only way he was able to get out of it was holding the power button for several seconds to restart the phone. He hasn't loaded any apps on the phone except for the Tracfone app. I don't see others complaining of this... There are no systems updates he seems to be lacking, as best as I could tell. <br /><br />Any thoughts?Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10384067967530527473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677003350229363498.post-41532877528138847642015-11-02T20:16:04.876-06:002015-11-02T20:16:04.876-06:00I'm not paying $100+ for a phone with only 4g ...I'm not paying $100+ for a phone with only 4g internal memory.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16445150245403463650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677003350229363498.post-3229813709422071842015-11-02T00:07:18.236-06:002015-11-02T00:07:18.236-06:00Hsn has them for $100 - $20 rebate with triple min...Hsn has them for $100 - $20 rebate with triple minutes, text, data but don@t expect triple on data only updates<br />daelvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550874232745641716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677003350229363498.post-80033038709658770612015-10-29T10:01:49.347-05:002015-10-29T10:01:49.347-05:00I agree that 2gbs runs out fast.
