Assurance Wireless review: umx android phones 21

my phone works properly and i think all of its features are all insane good quality but the phone has to charge for 8 hours that's insane just for a phone that has like the same type of batteries that i use for my Samsung galaxy 400 max quality but i do ID max phone that just came out yesterday and those ones work

but the WIFI on this UMX PHONE insane bros.

O, and after disabling New hijacker app (aka Instant News) using its Settings Page Battery Optimization tab to access it's Disable and Force stop buttons which work then, I suggest you reboot your phone after clearing out Chrome history for it since first time I disabled it, I discovered it was still running in memory even Force Stopped and disabled. My trick appears only to buy 24 hours before it re-enables itself and the 3-4 step process mentioned above has to be redone to buy you next day hijacker free while browsing.

Okay folks, disabling the app had nothing to do with 3C Toolbox but it can be used to search for News once System Apps enabled for the search to reach it's settings page. You have to use the Battery Optimization tab for it to access it's settings again where that allows disabling the app entirely. I just found this out again the hard way where after 24 hours disabled, it re-enabled itself where it was also listed under PlayStore updates on my phone with a Enable Auto Updates ticker set for it so it not only re-enabled itself, but updated itself as well. Thus so far all I can say is my disabling trick good for 24 hours only since it re-enabled itself from being disabled 24 hours earlier. I found out all 12 apps pending last 10 days had Enable Auto Update set but none had updated in 10 days where this hijacker News browser updated itself soon as it re-enabled itself.

Expect a year max from the battery and never let it charge overnight as the battery will last 6 months then of a swollen battery twice it's normal size. Steer away from it if you can. Not much free space for apps. Apps run slowly. Much better out there.

All ill true, the same napped to me! The worst cell phone service EVER

I can't make or receive calls on the Motorola g pure

I had that very same issue briefly when I received my Assurance Wireless cell phone. The issue with the screen

being black is in the phone's "time out" settings! You have to go to settings and choose Phone and check for your

on-screen time out options and check 30 minutes! That will keep the screen from shutting down..

Mine won't install security updates, I get a verification problem the battery picture comes up and says error.

My screen went black today. It also shows the green "full charge" light in the upper right corner of the phone. Is there any way to reset the phone so that it might operate again? At this time I can't afford a new phone and I truly need this thing for work. Who would I contact to replace this P.O.S.?

I got a free UMX phone from assurance wireless, there are so many complains about this phone already, I wonder if my review will be read but I truly learned this phone inside out in the months using it. First issue is popup ads, this can be stopped by deactivating unnecessary apps, but your browser will still get a popup ad, this is not the phone but the provider, assurance will charge you a fee to stop the browser popup..it happens when you open your internet after not using it. I switched to microsoft home launcher to get rid of the unremovable search bar on the home page and get better wallpaper (a new one everyday). The phones camera quality is absolutely unacceptable, its so grainy it looks like its moving, the coloration is all off, a selfie looks horrible and you cant fix it with filter cuz the quality is so low. Samsung J3 Prime also has a 5mp camera but its crystal clear and the colors are accurate, I mean its such a huge difference for the same megapixel. Even the camera app sucks they gave you one with too many options to make up for it but nothing helps it even makes it worse stretching the picture if you chose a different picture size..and theres like 20 pictures sizes that warp the picture. The phone freezes up, overheats and cant handle too much at once like a webpage with videos and ads or music playing while trying to surf, you need to remove the battery and start it up again. The battery drains really fast, it charges fast too but you need to bring a charger with you it only lasts a couple of hours. It makes you want to stop using assurance because on top of this, you cant even use an unlocked or virgin mobile phone with them..it must be the overcharged assurance phones from the website, most only have 5 or 8mp cams only one or two way expensive ones have 12. They really are capitalizing off the govt lifeline program. The customer service like with most companies is in the Philipines.

this phone is a joke. worst phone ever! battery problems. dropped calls, lost messages. why would virgin mobile align with such garbage?

I agree. Those UMX phones are garbage. I received a replacement from ASSurance Wireless/Virgin Mobile and it had the exact same problems despite the fact that it was a new device. I am not going back to that carrier. Shame on them for doing this sort of thing to low income families and others.

My mom just received an assurance UMX un3481 cell phone. I am trying to buy a case for her because I am afraid she might break it otherwise. I have looked everywhere for a case for this phone but have had no luck. Is there another model I could search that has the same specifications that the phone will fit into? Your prompt response would be greatly appreciated.
