Cricket ZTE Score Prepaid Android Cell Phone

I thought it was a awesome phone but I was wrong needs improvement.

its ok

I had the phone for 3 months. it started off excellent worked great but after 3rd week phone wiped everything clean. I had to redo everything. after that it was fine for a few days then it happened again. I had to redo everything again. worked great again then a month later it shut off on its own and wouldn't turn back on. I plugged it up to the charger and nothing happened I replaced the battery and it still wouldn't turn on. I treated the phone like a baby and it broke for no reason. Also battery only lasts 2 hours.

I have had an iphone 3gs (AT&T), and a Huawei Ascend II before I got this phone about a week ago. My ascend started not working right so I bought this to replace it. I know how an android/touch screen phone should work, that's the only reason I'm stating this information. WHERE DO I BEGIN? OMG! Texting on this thing is sooooo frustrating. I text a lot, probably not as much as a teen ager but it's definitely my main form of communication besides facebook. I rarely ever actually use the phone to talk. When I text, it doesn't seem to register that I'm touching the keys on the virtual keypad. It totally ignores letters and I have touched and I have to go back and correct what I've typed, and even when I'm correcting it does the same thing! It is very time consuming and I hate it! I know it's registering that I'm touching the letter because i have it set to vibrate upon touch and it vibrates but the letter doesn't show up. Plus the symbol keys I use most are not on the main symbol gallery. This is my biggest complaint and the reason I'm sending it back! My ascend 2 had a speaker button which would let you talk and convert the speech into a text, this phone doesn't have that. Also had a button on the text screen that would allow you to call that person if you pushed that button. This phone doesn't have that. It also had all your data, wifi, and gps off/on buttons when you swipe the main screen down to see your notifications, this phone doesn't do that. Have no idea how to turn data and gps off so they don't waste my battery. I couldn't get it to load one of my email accounts. My ascend 2 had 4 email accounts on it but this one for some reason will not let me load my aol acct. the others worked fine. I know there are more reasons why I do not like the phone but I can't think of them right now. Mainly it's the frustration of the texting problem. The thing I do like is that it has an actual button for taking pictures on the side of the camera. Haven't needed to use that so it has not been beneficial for me so far. It seems to have a better battery life but that may be because I'm not using it as much because I hate texting on it. It was cheap on cricket's website on sale for like $71.99 but not worth the money saved over buying another ascend 2. What a waste of my time, sanity and money. Thank God I can return it but I won't be getting any return shipping refunds.

This phone was easy enough for my mamaw to use. lol. It takes amazing photos, good vids, good weight (not to heavy not to light), its sleek, and has good sound quality. It was my first android phone and i would NOT trade it for any phone..except maybe an iphone. haha. I am hard to please when it comes to anything..and i absolutely LOVE this phone. Had it for a month and a half.
