My phone overheats constantly and I have to recharge numerous times. Went back to MetoPCS and got a replacement but still the same problem. Why?

I've also had weird issues with battery life. Sometimes it will last as long as it does for you and other times it's half that. Maybe it depends on what I'm doing?

I like double tab on screen. It's easier. Already have problems with phone calls sounding distorted & text wouldn't go thru.

Yeah it basically sucks. Just got a new phone after 2 yrs. Nothing backed up. Lost everything. Nothing intuitive. T-Mobile customer service sucks. Yeah this phone is not intuitive whatsoever and already battery and speed and everything are the same or slower than the 2 year old phone I just updated from. 3 cameras and everything is blurry and pixelated on day one. It isn't a good phone and they'll make excuses for it

I noticed that several diagnostics and system information apps, like Ampere, Device Info Hw, and Devcheck all listed the battery capacity as 3300mAh instead of 4500mAh. I don't think my battery has gone worn that much. Some even listed 3300mAh as the design capacity. Is this happening to anyone else or it just me? Could it be a software bug or do I need to calibrate the phone battery somehow?

Well, let's see the phone is 5G ready, has a nice processor for your everyday needs, acceptable full HD display, nice base storage and RAM, stereo speakers, battery is also decent, the phone gets the job done(at least for me). I've been with it for about 2 weeks now. Gotta say, loving it. No issues whatsoever.

There is one HUGE drawback to this phone which is forcing me to get another one. Background apps like Where's My Droid and Life360 don't work. Even though they are specifically excluded from battery optimization, they get shut off after less than an hour. This happens if the phone if fully charged, half charged, or almost dead - doesn't matter.
Also, there is the occasional instance where it won't allow me to answer a call (!), or won't allow me to put a call on hold and then get back to it again.
On the plus side - lots of memory, camera works well, sound quality is good, battery life is good, and most features are easily accessible. Unfortunately, the issues noted above are deal breakers.
One last thing - if you're using Life360 on your current phone, SIGN OUT before you start using it on your new phone - whatever that may be.

I read through all of the feedback and must say, none of these issues reported have been a thing for me. I never use a factory home screen loader myself, I use a third party launcher so this search bar people are complaining you cant get rid of well.. sorry you can. the default launcher does suck, but that doesn't mean you can not change it. I have experienced zero issues in the 2 months I have had it other than the glass screen protector is actually quite worthless and broke within the first week of getting the phone, minor annoyance, the speed of the phone is far superior to any other revvl (i started on the first Revvl Plus made by CoolPad) it easily bests the Revvlry Plus i previously had as well. I was very easily able to NFC transfer from my Revvlry+ to the Revvl 5G without any issues, basically copying everything from my former device to my new one, not including my secure password logins for my applications. It was simple to transfer, the battery lasts longer than the Revvlry+, its louder, brighter, much better camera, easily the best phone i have ever owned, also the most expensive. I do not see a purpose of spending in excess of 500 dollars on a cellular device, when in 6 months a new better version will be out! The revvl 5G will get the job done well.

I have been a loyal LG customer since the V20. I've had the V30, V40 and V60. I just traded in my LG V60 for this REVVL 5G and I am NOT disappointed. I was looking at the PIXEL 5G and noticed that the REVVL 5G is very similar so I shopped the two against each other and they are almost Identical.
The REVVL 5G packs a SnapDragon 765 cpu ,and Adreno 620 graphics. Comes with 6gbs of ram, and 128gb.
The PIXEL 5G also packs the SnapDragon 765 cpu, Adreno 620 graphics, and 128gb. The difference is the REVVL has 6gbs of Ram and the PIXEL has 8gbs of Ram, very very minor difference. The PIXEL 5G is considered a Flagship phone but the REVVL 5G is considered a Mid-Tier phone, yet the share the same specs?? I don't understand.
PIXEL 5G battery, 4,080mAh.
REVVL 5G battery, 4,500mAh.
Display resolution on both is 2340x1080.
PIXEL 5G Front Facing Camera, 8MP.
REVVL 5G Front Facing Camera, 16MP.
PIXEL Rear Camera setup is two cameras, Main camera: 12.2-MP, Second camera: 16MP.
REVVL Rear Camera setup is three cameras, Main camera: 48 MP, Second camera: 8 MP, Third camera: 5 MP.
The REVVL 5G has very responsive and fast. The phone calls are crisp, and clear. It has stereo speakers, phone calls on speaker on clear and loud. I performed a speed test on the REVVL and it's FAST!!! 371Mbps Download, 39.2 Mbps Upload. Since this is a T-Mobile phone, it is optimized to work awesomely on the new T-Mobile & Sprint combined 5G Network, taking full advantage of all the network. If you are thinking about purchasing the Google PIXEL 5G, Please consider buying the REVVL 5G. If the PIXEL 5G is considered a Flagship phone, then the REVVL should be considered a Flagship phone as well.

Have this phone for only 3 months and already the battery life is horrible have to repeatedly charge. Have gone to Metro PCS several times and called the manufacture and no one could help me. Advised by Metro PCS I could order a new phone for $45.00 Shipping. WHY? I've only had this phone for 3 months. Definitely not happy at all

Everything seems decent- ram, storage, 1080p, ppi, battery. Drawback I see is a weak sounding speakers compared to the LG Velvet; and the LG V 60 speakers boom. Plus the washed out blacks on the revvl is a concern to hide the Google bar. The price is right of course.

Benthic, 13 Nov 2020I am already thinking of throwing this thing into a wall. ... moreChange your wallpaper to dark to save battery and Walla, you have to look for the Google bar. This is the setup I have on the LG V60 when I am not using the beautiful wallpaper of the LG G8.
