can you setup email on this device
@user_enalnotgnisarb 2025-03-04T22:46:57Z
Kept this phone in my pocket and turned on the flashlight by accident. No idea how to turn it off. Looked through the settings menu and couldn't find anything. The manual isn't any help; it doesn't mention the flashlight even once. Can anyone tell me what to do?
@user_ezzsar 2025-02-28T15:21:48Z
Found it on eBay for $15 and for that money I can’t think of a better phone. KaiOS also finally made the FM radio wireless which is nice.

I had purchased this phone at Walmart for 19.99. It was scanned and paid for. Went out to car put it on and the 1st thing I noticed was the location symbol and I turned it off and it didn't matter. The phone wasn't even activated yet. Maybe Triangulation? Then I had it set for 2 minutes and it kept going back to 15 seconds. Then people I know were asking if I blocked them. Then I called my daughter and it went straight to voicemail and she did not block me! Very strange. Contacting TCL to find out what caused this.
I don't like the way the time display on the closed phone is split into two rows of 2 numbers; wish I had the option to change it to look the same as it shows inside.

is the battery life issue fixed 6 months later?

@user_1054reyals 2025-01-15T01:35:23Z
I absolutely for the life of.me cant find the KaiVA assistant on the appstore where can i find it?
@user_7462sugnanylorac 2025-01-03T00:41:29Z
Got this phone today. It doesn't have voice to text on it. The salesperson said it did.
@user_wq6kf-kralChciR 2024-12-31T05:14:18Z
It is a nicer phone than a flip 2, but is power hungry. If don't use it much, still have to charge 2-3 times a week. I just use it for calls and messages, don't need a full on computer!

How do you turn on/off the flashlight?

does it have an FM radio?
@user_namtebmij 2024-12-03T23:30:43Z
how turn off rare camera so you can avoid battery recharge all the time ?
@user_ytsiMnolavA 2024-11-27T12:16:25Z
Text messaging..very poor design. In Group Chat mode, it does not Reply to the Group simultaneously. It sends my reply to each person individually. The Group cannot see what I wrote together. Then all the names in the Group appear singly on my phone with the reply I wrote. Predictive is NOT the default mode. Must press button 4 times to get to it. NO button to insert Capital letter where you want it. Abc mode is dysfunctional. All small letters when you switch text mode while writing. NO easy access button in text mode to switch between English & Spanish. Must go into Settings then it switches the ENTIRE phone into Spanish, not just for texting. NO SPEAKER PHONE.

Why does location keep popping up even when geolocation is off?
@user_2616repmet 2024-11-15T03:24:42Z
I just paid 29 for this phone for my 12 year old
@user_u4j-OlliJ 2024-11-10T20:56:18Z
Does this phone have the function to answer the incoming call simply by opening the phone (ie see who is ringing via the external smaller screen)?
@user_510ereHzIecarB 2024-11-09T20:54:53Z
I’m using one right now because I got to some legal trouble I’m using a spare iPhone rn worst phone to exist I’ve had flip phones two times and this one’s probably the worst one I’ve had The Internet is slow the battery runs down quickly and when you tried to use the voice instead of actually texting it says error!! And just typing on the phone sucks!!! I don’t know why they still make flip phones … i’d rather have no phone at all ugh!!!! Life sucks balls And the camera sucks too
@user_.777afatsuM 2024-11-05T04:39:18Z
Honestly not a bad phone to give to a child or an older person

I just bough a flip 3, I cannot seem to figure out how to get the voice to text function in text messages, did they remove it?
@user_2eruzas 2024-10-16T07:26:17Z
Walmart has it for $19.88 not sure of all the specs. My ZTE Z233VL charging port bent (tracfone) and now NO phone. so searching. Tracfone chat recommended this as ONE of two in my price range (just walk simple talk/text) The other was the Tracfone Blue Flex. Any thoughts MUCH appreciated. Housebound so NEED my phone. Thanks.
@user_PO777edudeht 2024-10-06T05:23:23Z
Jose, could you find a flip phone that is of the same size as the ones from the 2007-2015 timeline, before they weren't 8-9 inches long when flipped open, they were far smaller. Also why would it be impossible for a phone manufacturer to produce a phone of this past size (6 inches) with a camera that can record in 1080p and take HD pics? Seeing that cameras have come a long way. Maybe you could bounce these ideas off some companies you are talking to, if any? Or see if such a thing exists?
@user_6061selrahc 2024-10-05T01:34:02Z
I only paid $19.99 plus tax at tracfone for TCL Flip 3
@user_kcitStiBehT 2024-09-26T05:23:01Z
KaiVA doesn't seem to be present on my unit from Tracfone for some reason.

I'm tired of blue light addiction. Just give me a phone and GPS
@user_ybabkcorb 2024-09-17T01:35:06Z
How easy is it to swap the battery out? Is it built into the phone?

@user_0524txela 2024-08-10T18:28:46Z
Hi, I toggled on predictive text and it's still not showing up, do you know why that might be? Thanks!
@user_7347llageht 2024-08-10T12:47:09Z
I think really the only truly good and uncompromising smart phone flip phone has been the Galaxy Folder 2 and it was well priced to boot. Wish there was something newer but alas we suffer.
@user_relpmeGX 2024-08-06T22:42:06Z
It is not a $99 phone. Sells direct from Tracfone for $19.99, shipped free.
@user_xitSssorC 2024-08-03T11:41:57Z
Update: TracFone variant is now available; price is $20.
@user_bb4cm-QhsoJ 2024-07-30T05:04:11Z
This phone is terrible I used it for a month there’s a glitch with the outer screen where it randomly turns on and sometimes never turns off until you open and close it. It’s heavy and the screen is very low resolution
@user_kklatofni 2024-07-23T19:13:45Z
Does it have parental controls if I want to make this a device for a 10 year old ?
@user_xitSssorC 2024-07-08T03:08:19Z
I just realized, the original TCL Flip was KaiOS 3.0, TCL Flip 2 was AOSP (Android Open Source), and now back to KaiOS (3.1) here.
Make up your mind TCL, way to confuse consumers 🙄.
@user_xitSssorC 2024-07-07T19:46:33Z
I think it's worth noting that a TracFone variant is coming out soon (model T435D). Price should be $20 or $30, much more reasonable.
That being said, while the hardware should be identical, on the software side I wouldn't be surprised if they remove some "premium" features, namely KaiVA.
@user_2063tanffbruoy 2024-07-07T15:36:02Z
Bought this for my husband. His brother texted, but when he went to check it didn't show anything. Also, what does the emergency button do???
@user_naMeivoMdehcatsuM 2024-07-07T02:45:23Z
Hey Jose, I've tried to open your air table links a few times and the ones I've tried come up blank (empty table). It looks like a cool/helpful site I'd like to check out but I'm not sure why they come up blank.

When there will be the review of Nokia 235 that I saw the box on your table 😊?
@user_7331dezRECAPS 2024-07-04T01:39:40Z
Hey Jose, I am wondering if you plan to review either the Blu Flex or the Mode1 Retro II? I am curious about both, but I cannot find anything decent on them.
Looks a good review, bur after 37 seconds I stoped watching because it is unuseful to me. Thanks
@user_2893oiramrepap 2024-07-03T08:18:55Z
I used the TCL Flip 2 for over a year, and it was only possible due to the Android OS that allowed me to root and sideload essential software like speech to text and button mapper. Shame that the followup to such a great phone went with KaiOS. Those great upgrades would tempt me but no sideload and no speech to text means they don't even matter. I'll just continue to hope the Light Phone 3 will be everything I want lol.
@user_2016siseneggnimagorter 2024-07-03T03:48:58Z
I work at Verizon, and I just today learned this came out thanks to poking around our software. I gotta say, switching the hinge back to interior is a massive upgrade/return from a comfort point of view. I've owned both prior generations and this is just a better design. Definitely wish they improved the build quality more, maybe add some new features, but the hinge alone is a massive win in my eyes.
@user_171here 2024-07-03T03:41:16Z
They need switch on Android go already
@user_9xab 2024-07-03T02:22:40Z
Shame that this is the only dumbphone that works with my plan outside the Orbic Journey V which is considered a QC nightmare.
@user_DVD28RTS 2024-07-02T23:58:17Z
The crazy thing is the CAT S22 is damn near three years old and has better specs than this phone for less.
