I had the Nokia C1 last year and I disliked it, so not even 3 weeks ago I "upgraded" to the Cricket Ovation, and I effing HATE it! The battery will not charge. It might go up 2-3% after being on charge for an hour, but I'll look again 10 minutes later-- still on charge-- and it's dropped at least 10%!!! It was finally up to 80% about 12 hours ago... It's currently in 57%, and yet again it's been in charge this whole time! 

And let's talk about how it starts lagging then freezes up completely! Most of my memory is still free. I don't run apps in the background. There is no reason for it to do this every time I turn around! If runs redonkulously slow. 

I find it funny that it has 4 stars on the website, but everytime I tried to leave a review, the page suddenly disappeared. Wtf is that about?!

The only good thing about this phone is the screen size.

It's understandable that you're frustrated with the performance of your Cricket Ovation smartphone. It's not acceptable for a phone to have battery issues or lag constantly.

Here are some steps you can take to try to resolve the issues you're experiencing:

Battery issues:

  • Check the charging cable and adapter: Make sure you're using the original charging cable and adapter that came with the phone. Try using a different charging cable and adapter to see if that makes a difference.
  • Restart the phone: Sometimes, a simple restart can fix battery issues.
  • Check for software updates: Make sure your phone is running the latest software. Software updates often include bug fixes and performance improvements.
  • Calibrate the battery: Calibrating the battery can help to improve its performance. To calibrate the battery, let it drain completely until it turns off automatically. Then, charge it uninterruptedly to 100%. Do not use the phone while it is charging.
  • Factory reset: If all else fails, you may need to factory reset your phone. This will erase all of your data, so be sure to back up your phone first.

Performance issues:

  • Close unused apps: Make sure you're not running too many apps at once. Close any apps that you're not using to free up some RAM.
  • Clear the app cache: The app cache can sometimes become corrupted and cause performance issues. To clear the app cache, go to Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Storage > Clear Cache.
  • Uninstall unused apps: Uninstall any apps that you're not using. This will free up some storage space and improve performance.
  • Factory reset: If all else fails, you may need to factory reset your phone. This will erase all of your data, so be sure to back up your phone first.

If you've tried all of these steps and you're still having problems, you may need to contact Cricket customer support for further assistance.

I hope this helps!

That sucks. I don’t know if you like iOS but I never had an issue with any iPhone in terms of speed and general use. Most of the low-cost android phones are prob gonna have issues in terms of how well it can run things, as they probably cut corners to sell it for that low price.
