My Kyocera was bought at a boost mobile store, When I went in they said it was a very good phone and it was water prove and I bought, It all together I paid over $ 230 dollars , I started having many problems with it, but it has always had very poor signal ,it only works well when its working with high speed data , any time that 1 Giga bite is over the phone dosent work well or at all ! I have complained to boost mobile and it has gotten to the point that they have lied to me about having a tech come to my home to check on the signal and that never happened ,They left me their like a fool waiting and never showed up . Then this thing happened, my firmware needs updating from Kyocera and my phone will not work, always letting me know that Google has stopped ,Gmail, Hangouts, utube , Maps This phone is a mess I was told by Kyosera most people dident know that This Phone has a life time warrenty ! that made me glad , well when I spoke to another tech support rep he told no that I had 1 yr. ! they said they were working on a firmware up date and it has taken close to a month and still haven't gotten it ! I went back to boost moble and asked if I could get a replacement phone until the issue was fixed, they tried every thing to get my phone working but failed , and at the end she told me that she dosent recommend that phone and showed me a $350 phone by LG, and that made me mad to the point that I told her that when I bought it it was all good and now its a different story I see phones from track phones from family Doller and they are still working .I will never recommend boost mobile or Kyosera its a shame customers get treated like this !

    that's why all the patents are in secrecy even for the signing company paying licenses

      Kyoto ceramics is no tiny company, it's industrial giant. And if they decide to use android, it is only fair to have them pay Microsoft for their R&D that was used in Android system.

              Microsoft must focus on creating better handsets instead of sueing tiny companies.
