zte valet

I was wondering whether any of you find that you might have to restart your ZTE Valet Android 4.1.1 phones once or twice a day. I've had mine since October 2013 and it hasn't been an issue until this past week. I've been finding that the apps get very, very sluggish. Sometimes, they refuse to...

Anybody having a problem with their battery not holding a charge? Mine's been plugged in for 4 1/2 hours and it's now down to 30% from this morning. I've plugged it into the usb port on the computer, a power strip and 3 different wall outlets and I've got the charger in as far it'll go and...

My ZTE Valet has a 'flashlight' and 'mirror' function on the reverse side. How do I access these functions? What does 'mirror' do?

I recently bought a Tracfone ZTE Valet and the wifi reception is very poor. I cannot maintain a connection unless I am almost right next to the wifi router. When I had the back cover of the phone off I noticed that their is a circular hole in the plastic to the right of the battery and it looks...

sorry this is a duplicate. I want to transfer music files from my computer to my ZTE Valet. I follow the directions on the "Play Music" app which are pretty basic: drag and drop files to the Music folder. The only problem is I can't find a Music folder on my phone. I tried dropping them in the...

Can anyone please tell me if your compass is working on your ZTE Valet? If so, can someone tell me what I maybe doing wrong? Here's the scoop...I have downloaded two compass apps from Google play store and none of 'em are working on my phone. I have also downloaded "GPS status & Tool" to...

I like to have my most used apps on the main home screen (IE: direct call, FB, Twitter, SiriusXM, etc) and I have done that. However, when I hit the Home Button, it takes me to one of the other screens. Then I get everything rearranged, and remove the extra screens, it reverts back. Any...

Hello! I'm new here. Got a question as I am not familiar with smartphones, and specifically the Tracfone ZTE Valet. My elderly dad bought himself one of these off the home shopping network. I charged it up, registered his account and got him going. Within 5 minutes, he had uninstalled 4...

I'm starting this thread for those of us who have favorite apps on our ZTE Valet Android 4.1 phones that haven't worked in like 4 months. If you're like me you're getting pretty frustrated because maybe the app you like always used to post to Facebook, but it hasn't for a couple of months. You...

there are so many negatives everywhere i read on the androids that i have decided to stick with my lg 840 for now.im hoping someone will begin reviewing the lg optimus dynamic 2..see they are selling on ebay and amazon..no reviews yet.not sure how i feel about the bucket thing either.as i figure...

Ya know, sometimes you just have to restart. Not a HARD reboot. Just restart your device. Things run much faster. I started out with a Pocket PC years ago and with those it was just a daily event. Maybe even more often! Devices have improved so much that I'm thinking we have just forgotten...

I have a couple questions about ZTE valet. It seems that the ZTE valet locks out very quickly is there a way to adjust the timing so that it does not lock out so quickly? Also I have heard that you can set the ZTE valet so that it will only operate using wifi. How can I change the setting so...

Lost my ability to send and receive MMS messages and attachments this past weekend. Suddenly getting "No APN for this Android device" when I try to send picture. I apparently lost every single setting trying to find a messaging app I can love. Could one of you kind people please post what...

I have tried using FoxFi to make this phone act as a WiFi hotspot. I encountered errors. Has anyone found a way to do WiFi hospotting with it? I gather that TracFone does not want this phone used in this way.

Ok so I got the new android ZTE Valet supported by Trac-Fone almost a week after Christmas and yesterday my screen stopped working. Everything still lights up (like the charging lite and the buttons) and people can still call me, my screen is just dead, and I don't want to factory reset my...

I've had dumb phones up until now, and figured the ZTE Valet would be a good entry-level smartphone--good reviews, etc, and not a ton of money. Here's my thing: When I want to place a call, I go to contacts, select who I want to talk to, and tap the little phone-receiver icon. And the screen...

I've noticed a few times on my Valet some notifications have impossible dates shown. For instance, right now I have a Hangouts notification with the date 10/59/2014; an Advanced Task Killer one with 10/48/2014; and a Startup Manager one with 10/47/2014. What gives? Should I be worried about this?

hello, I have one of the smartphones from tracfone, a zte valet. I had some issue and thought a reset would fix it. had i known, i wouldn't have done it, because now I can't make calls (keeps saying something with the activation, but its already activated) and can receive very few. Before then...

It's happened to me twice now. My ZTE Valet screen won't come on and the only way to fix it is to take the battery out and restart it. Even if I hold down the power button it won't restart. I'm wondering if this is or has happened to anyone else. :confused:

So, I just changed jobs. Up until this job, I've always had my jobs provide me with cool phones. Well my new job doesn't and I'm not willing to spend $100 a month on a phone. But my last phone was an iPhone and I bought a lot of music on it. Well, with my new job and no phone, I bought a...

I am unable to install any app from Amazon's Appstore. It seems that everything I try to install (and this includes both things that I already had in Amazon's "cloud" and things I newly chose) downloads successfully but then it gets stalled in the "Installing..." phase (that is, on the "Cloud"...
