Hi, I have the same problem too, I loved the phone till i used KitKat, now after the lollipop update, the 4G is not seen, nor is the Face recognition. There are also other problems like Battery draining really fast. The storage is also insufficient, i mean if you download around 15 apps, it says insufficient storage. The launcher is also completely wired. And now, all of a sudden, the sim is not being recognized by the phone, wheras in the others it does

After update to Lollipop the 4G data connection is gone, it doesn't matter what you try, is gone forever, also the native camera app is useless. Give us a new update BLU, please.

GSN, 31 Mar 2016Frustrated with the Android update. Bluetooth pairing issu... moreI fully second you on that Android 5.0.2 lollipop update, it is POOR, I would actually like to use expletive words as its description. Now, I discovered you can get app drawer functionality back if you download a different launcher from that Carefree launcher they included. Google Now is the launcher I've loaded. However, you have a problem if you have more than 20 or 30 apps. The phone will tell you insufficient storage, even if you have a 32 GB or 64 GB SD. The reason is that these phones have 8 GB of internal ram only, and allocate a mizerly 5.5 GB of that ram to the system and apps, and 2.5 GB to a simulated SD card. You only have 5 1/2 GB for most of your apps and for the android operating system and Lollipop is bigger than KitKat so your system space gets crowded out. You can factory reset your phone and reinstall most or all of your apps, or you can simply clear all your app caches. Then you can go to your apps settings under advanced options in settings and ONE BY ONE try to move apps to the SD card. Some will move part of their contents while others will not move at all. That will allow you to clear a little space for additional apps. If you can load the Google Now Launcher, it will make your phone seem a bit smoother again and give you back your app drawer.

Frustrated with the Android update. Bluetooth pairing issues and a decidedly difficult time getting a useful response from product support. I would happily go back to the Android 4.4 that came with it and worked PERFECTLY but not for what BLU wants to charge for that. Sad. A product with great potential but decidedly second rate support. Not good for companies that want someone to purchase the NEXT phone from them.

CAREScat, 11 Feb 2016Am I the only one who has yet to have any major problems You are not the only one having major problems with the Lollipop 5.0.2 update for the BLU STUDIO ENERGY. I downloaded it and installed it on February 15 and seriously regretted it. This version of Lollipop removed the familiar "app drawer". It also hides your SIM card and sometimes people report it hides your SD card. Those are temporary problems quickly solved by doing a factory reset of your phone then reinstalling all your apps from your Google account. However, there is an unsolvable problem if you run a lot of apps, say 50 or 60 on your phone. It is the repeated problem of INSUFFICIENT STORAGE. It seems preposterous when you have a 64 GB SD in your phone. The problem is that our phones have only 8 GB of internal storage which is partitioned to 5.5 for system and apps and 2.5 for a simulated internal SD card. You actually have only about 5.5 GB available for system and Apps. Lollipop is bigger than Kit Kat so it uses up more of that 5.5 GB. The system programs are for the most part, not movable to SD AND many of your apps were designed to prevent users from having the option to move to SD {That is why it is grayed out when you try to do it for many apps}. With lollipop, it turns out that 8 GB, especially that 5.5 GB system partition is too small to install many of the apps I need to use along with the android system, and quite probably, the BLU provided bloatware including their BLU bootscreen. I actually attempted to root my phone multiple times using Kingroot, Kingoroot, I-root and it would either hang, or go to completion to give me a "root failled" message I loved my BLU STUDIO ENERGY but after that lollipop upgrade, I parked it for now. I think that if I could successfully root it and re partition the storage to 7GB system !GB simulated SD that it would operate more like a phone that allows installation of apps. The new BLU STUDIO ENERGY 2 is actually a 16 GB device instead of an 8 GB device.

Norm, 07 Jan 2016 The Blu Studio Energy actually has a 5000 mAh battery tha... more I was in error when I posted that the battery is removable. It is indeed, NOT EASILY REMOVABLE as you posted, and I do not like that feature. I was fooled at the time because upon quick opening of the device, the battery is visible, like many removable batteries AND I saw the battery advertised for sale on E bay. I'm posting this comment because I cannot see how to remove my own earlier post when I discover it contains an error as my 1-10-2016 assertion does. Like the BLU STUDIO ENERGY batter, our posts aren't removable.

Fixed the No Sim after Lollipop Update
The no sim problem got solved for me after rooting using Kingroot. Not sure why but as soon as it got rooted the phone started to read the sim cards.
Very weird.
