Blu Life One X (2016): BLU One Life X stuck in boot loop

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 16:29:59 -0700

Hi,

It looks like my BLU LIFE ONE X is stuck in a boot loop and I can't find a solution tailored to this phone. I would like to get into recovery mode as many sites suggest a cache swipe or reset, but I can't even get there.

I hold the buttons and on the top left corner is written

Recovery mode : Volume up

Factory reset: Volume down

When I click the up button the screen only goes black.

Also I can't remove the battery (inbuilt), on other phones it seems to be a part of the process to get to the Android recovery mode.

I had an iphone before and never such a problem. :(

Blu Advance 5.0: How do I turn on/off cellular data for Chrome?

Sun, 21 Dec 2025 17:30:18 -0700

Hi,

I just got a Blu Advance 5.0. Switching over from iPhone. So, I'm just curious how I would turn on/off cellular for certain apps? Like, on iPhone, I would just go into settings-cellular-then just tap the button next to Safari, Photos, Facebook, whatever app, to let it use/not use my cell data. How do I do this on an android? Specifically Google Chrome. I don't like to use my data unless it's important, and I'd just rather have it turned off instead of leaving it on. Thanks for any help

Does anyone know how to change the settings in this phone, so that it can charge as well as transfer files to PC's?

If so please give a step by step account. I am not tech savvy.

Blu Vivo XL: Why is my USB not getting detected

Sun, 26 Oct 2025 05:47:44 -0700

When I plug on my Blu Vivo XI+ into my laptop It can be charged but the file transfer function isn't working, it's not showing up like it did on my other phones

I also can't turn on USB tethering and I can't connect it to screen mirroring apps.

The only mirroring app that came close to working is scrcpy

When using the program scrcpy it showed up a message on my phone saying allow USB debugging but when I pressed allow it didn't work and the message didn't pop up in any of my attempts after.

BLU Phone: My BLU G9 phone screen is flickering.

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 07:21:52 -0700

I have a BLU G9 phone and its screen is flickering. I was near the rain a couple of days ago and used my phone though I do not recall water touching the screen since I was under the roof of the house outside.

I put the phone in rice but it did not work. However, it succeeded for a brief time when I went out at night into the cold and used my phone. The screen stopped flickering then starting flickering again 30 minutes later.

Can anyone help me fix it?
