Why is my Blu Studio not charging?

To keep from overcharging your phone download an app named "BATTERY FULL NOTIFICATION. When the battery becomes fully charged 100% it will make a beeping noise or you can set it to make any type of sound alerting you.

Same problem I had. My Blu stopped taking a charge and the only way I could use it was to have it plugged into it's charger, which would only sustain a 2% or 3% charge. When I unplugged it, the battery would drop to 0%. Then it stopped functioning even with it being plugged in and would not take a charge. I thought I had over-charged my battery several times previously and assumed my battery was shot. Did some research and rather than buy a new battery or attempt to change the usb port completely, I simply tried to CLEAN the port. First I removed the battery. Then I used a plastic dental pick to remove any dirt, fuzz or debris. Then I folded a paper towel into a small point and dipped it in alcohol and pushed it around inside the port to remove any oxidation on the interior metal within. Finally, I very carefully bent that thin little metal strip tine thingie down toward the center of the port opening with a metal dental pic (again, dipped in alcohol). Perhaps a needle would work just as well, I don't know. I couldn't use the plastic dental pick for this, as it was not strong enough to budge the metal tine. I didn't actually "bend" it, but merely moved it down very slightly toward the center of the port opening and let it spring back to it's original position. Finally, I put back the battery, plugged it in and VOILA! It's now charging! Hope it works for everyone who's suffering this maddening problem.

My blu vivo went to zero on the battery as i lost the charger . it will not charge now

My son and. I received two bluestufio 6 hd less than six days ago for xmas. My son was using the flash light on the phone to show me something. The stupid phone went dead and has not booted back up even after being recharged. I tried his charger and I also tried my charger. I tried the hard reset everyone speaks about on the net. Should I expect the same thing with my phone? My son is very disappointed

My battery on my bluends even tho im not using the phone what can i do??

Ok... This is why ans this is how u fix it. Blu phones are decent for the price. But QA sux. When i took apart my blu vivo air i saw that glue melted or somehow got onto the usb soder to circuit board. Simply go over with 97% isopropyl alcohol and while your at it do the other pars that are glued tha may have goten on to other parts. For instance the home buttons also had glue and had. To be cleAned. The first attempt i some how got glu o. That part. Second disassemble fixed th buttons. Its just glue. Clean it and charge on

My phone won't charge, cord is very lose, thinking its the charging thing inside the phone, can this be fixed, got some really important stuff on that phone that I need

I read on another web page that you need 1) unplug the phone, 2)take the back lid off and hold the button immediately after the 2 volume buttons (third button from the top to the bottom) down for 30 seconds, 3) Put the lid back on 4) connect phone to charger 5) Power Phone On.

This took care of my problem, hope it works for all.

what if they kill your phone and steal your data

mine just went brick and i had contacts i had saved

im not sure haha gonna return this and got anther BLU on the

way this one

I HAD the exact same problem. I did some research, tried a whole bunch of different stuff and even considered buying a new battery (since I too have left my phone charging overnight on many occasions), and if that didn't work, I would replace the USB port.

But first, I decided to simply CLEAN the USB port. I removed the battery, then I used a plastic dental pic to pluck out any dirt and debris. Then I folded the corner of a paper towel into a sharp point, dipped it in alcohol and rubbed it all around inside the port to remove any oxidation on the internal prongs and central metal tab. Next, because plastic isn't strong enough, I used a METAL dental pick (again, dipped in alcohol) and very, very slightly BENT the metal tab more to the " inside center" of the port by sort of rocking it back and forth, again, very slightly. You definitely do NOT want to BREAK it! Lastly, I replaced the battery, plugged it in and VOILA! It began taking a charge! I charged it to 99% and unplugged it. That was yesterday. This morning, with the phone at 35% , I plugged it in to top it off, but AGAIN it would NOT take a charge. So, I repeated the tab bending process from yesterday and it is NOW CHARGING AGAIN.

The bottom line, it seems to me, that BLU phones have a really cheap and crappy USB charging port, that's all.

I suggest: 1) Never over-charge your battery. 2) Download a Battery Charge Notification app.

If you don't happen to have a metal dental pic, I suppose you could use a thin metal nail file, or perhaps very thin tweezers. Hope this helps all who suffer this cell phone nightmare. (excuse the hyperbole).

I pluged my blu 5 with another charger and it stoped charging entirely even with its charger. What do I do.

My Blu Vivo 5 Battery is at 0%, phone is off and it seems as though the charging port has a problem because when i sort of shake the charger it vibrates and then nothing, what do i do? I need my phone to use asap :( Help!!please :(

There is an extra button in between the volume buttons and the off button. You need to take off the back cover, and press in the button with something like a paper clip and hold it for 20 seconds. Mine has been perfect ever since. Hope this helps

OK people. The inside cover reset button is real. I have a BLU R1 HD. It too wouldnt take a charge for nothing. I removed the cover and sure enough the button that I thought was just a piece of hardware is depress-able. I pressed it for 30 seconds (could probably just do 20...who knows). Plugged it in and HOLY CRAP!!! The charge screen image came on! I was soooooo close to just buying another phone cause it wasn't worth being repaired. What engineer was so insane to design this?

I don't know how to find the reset button

hi! My BLU VIVO XL won't charge and if it does, it charges really slow. Can anyone help me? don't know what to do. I don't think it's the charger since I tried it with another BLU. It's not the battery either.

Thanks!

I have a Studio Energy 2 which doesn't charge (phones currently at 3%), I had this happen to me about 7 months ago, and I returned the phone under warranty and they sent it back to me fixed. But now it doesn't charge again, which is super frustrating. Any one know what I can do to fix this specific model?

I have a Blu Vivo R5 and it won't start but the back doesn't come off there's a little tiny hole where you take the pain and put in to release the SIM card and then there's also one down on the bottom of the phone by where you plug in the headset are either one of these the reset button since the back doesn't come off how could I get to the reset button my phone won't charge!

My blu wont charge. I have tried all suggested on this page. Someone

I have 3 blu’s that had similar issues, Blu R2 LTE’s

When charging a blu 8.0 mega it the battery sign should be jumping or
