Works very good as a speaker phone I often use but more and more others are sending texts. When replying to them I would like to disable the underline delay when pressing keys.
DuraXV Extreme(+) texting UI is shockingly bad — any fix planned?

I’m a longtime “dumb phone” user and I want to like the DuraXV Extreme / Extreme+ (e.g., E4810). Hardware-wise it’s basically perfect for what I need. But the messaging experience is easily the worst part of the phone, to the point it’s affecting daily usability.
The core issues:
• Conversation view shows only a couple lines, so you can’t actually read messages without opening each one.
• To view full content you end up drilling multiple layers deep, repeatedly, for basic texting.
• Group texts / MMS are especially painful and confusing compared to any other feature phone I’ve used.
This feels like a UI/UX problem more than a hardware limitation. Is there a firmware/software update planned to improve the messaging interface (full-message preview in threads, fewer clicks to read, less friction for group texts/MMS).

Setup and Function

Gerrald . 2 months
I was surprised how easy it was to set up the phone. I appreciate the simple format and menu, and the size of the buttons. Battery life seems to be very good. The only negative I have found is the speaker volume which for me could be a little higher.
Kyocera Customer Support - 1 month
We’re glad to hear DuraXV Extreme+ proved easy to set up, simple to use, and continues to deliver great battery life! But it’s not often we’re told that DuraXV Extreme+’s 100dB+ speakers could be louder; please ensure the source audio's volume hasn't been compromised. We appreciate your 4-star review. Feel free to contact us on Facebook (@Kyocera Mobile) anytime with other comments, questions, or concerns!-Elijah F.

Do you need a tough little phone?
5 undefined
A repeat customer . 2 months
If you are like my husband and dont want a smart phone that you have to worry about breaking or no longer working if you drop it, get it wet or dirty, this tough little phone is perfect. This is his third Keyocera Dura phone over the past 10 years. The Dura, is just that, it is a DURABLE phone that can withstand someone that works outdoors. His phones have taken a few swims in ditches filled with water, been rained on and stuffed in pockets that may be full of dirt, but it keeps working! The battery IS replaceable, which is not the norm with most phones now. The only problem he has ever had with this little phone is the charging pin, and its the reason we are replacing the phone now. It would no longer charge. But his was over three years old and had lived a hard life. As long as Keyocera keeps making this phone, we will keep buying it.

It’s great to hear Kyocera DuraXV flip phones have made a real difference in your husband’s workday over the last decade, while surviving the occasional ditch or two! We truly appreciate your family’s loyalty and are happy to continue keeping hard workers like your husband connected in the toughest conditions.-Elijah F.
Fantastic device!

Matt S . 3 months
I got to a point where I was clocking 7-9 hours of screen time a day...the majority of which was pointless scrolling.
I hated it.
Smartphone addiction is 100% a real thing, and after multiple "subtle" attempts at reducing my smartphone dependence failed, I decided something more aggressive was necessary.
This device keeps me in touch with EXCELLENT battery life, EXCELLENT signal strength and call quality, and EXCELLENT durability.
My only gripe -
The predictive text option could be better, and takes some getting used to.
Many time "normal" words are not in the list of options, while VERY abnormal words are. There are several other oddities that don't seem to have a rhyme or reason to them.
Other than the not so friendly predictive text feature, this phone is a 10/10.

Newer Version BUT Not As Friendly To Use...

Bill A . 3 months
Nice durable phone, BUT the "updated" version got rid of T9Word typing, which I liked, and replaced with "Prediction" typing, which does not predict well. I can use the old "multi-tap of the keys" and type faster than Prediction. The old version DuraXV was a lot friendlier to use. This model does not give typing options for words like Mr., Mrs, Dr. tho, etc., LOL, and so on. I DO LIKE the "smiley face" emoji option in texting tho.
Kyocera Customer Support - 2 months
Hi Bill. We know T9Word was loved by many, but unfortunately, it was not licensable by the developer. Our latest custom Prediction typing software is a significant step forward from its original iteration; however, we are aware that it lacks certain English-language honorifics and abbreviations. I encourage you to add commonly used words to your “My Words” dictionary. This way, typing 6771 will suggest “Mrs.” for example.1. Open a Message thread or start a new Message
2. Press the left soft key labeled “Prediction” or “Abc”
3. Find and select “0. Text Options”
4. Select “4. My Words”
5. Press Menu, then Add
6. Use “Abc” mode to type “Mrs.”
7. Press “Save”
8. Reply to a Message, or start a new one; then type 6771 for “Mrs.”
Please reach out to us on Facebook (@Kyocera Mobile) if you have any questions or additional feedback!
-Elijah F.

The old phone died and would not charge or power up. Back in operation.
Kyocera Customer Support - 3 months
Hello! The issue you described may have been a symptom of a problematic or aged battery rather than a defective device – so please be aware that we offer Kyocera genuine replacement batteries at solutions.kyoceramobile.com. Regardless, we’re glad your replacement device is operating as expected! Thank you so much for leaving DuraXV Extreme+ a 5-star review.

Alex . 4 months
Not able to get group messages and that is very difficult. I send out group messages and don’t see replies.
Kyocera Customer Support - 3 months
Hey Alex!Thanks for leaving this 4-star review despite the problem you’re seeing. Let’s troubleshoot and rectify this issue! First, verify your device’s Group Messaging setting:
1. Open the Messaging app
2. Select Options
3. Select Settings
4. Ensure Group Messaging is ON
Second, messaging conflicts can occur after switching devices. Recipients or senders using an OLD conversation thread (created or used with a previous phone) may encounter message failures. Be sure to verify that any important texts/images are saved before proceeding. Then request all members of the messaging group to delete the old thread and create a new conversation to ensure proper text routing.
