Problems with my New Phone

P Phoenix . 3 months ago

my old Phone works better than my new one as i Navigate the ring in the center online it excepts my choices at the same time when i am suppose to hit the center button to accept something so to say the Ring is entering things at the same time

Kyocera Customer Support - 3 months ago

We're sorry to hear about the troubles you are having using the navigation keys on your new phone. Due to the flip phone form factor, the space for the navigation keys is fairly tight and there isn't much room between the ring and the center key. It may take some time to get used to pressing the ring without also pressing the center key once in a while. We hope you get used to it soon. If you have any other questions or feedback, feel free to contact our customer support team at 1-800-349-4478, or through our support page kyoceramobile.com/contactus/support/. Thank you. Kyocera

Easy to hear

Mamu . 4 months ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

Purchased this phone for my 90 yr old mother n law who is very hard of hearing. She can hear this phone ring! The other one she had she missed a lot of calls for not hearing the ring. This was the main reason in purchasing this phone. She is still figuring things out on it. Seems to be fairly easy use for elderly.

Kyocera Customer Support - 3 months ago

That's great! Thank you for taking the time to write DuraXV Extreme+ a 5-star review on your mother-in-law's behalf! We can attest that many other customers with hearing difficulties have found success with the ringtone volume and speaker capabilities of DuraXV Extreme+. We're happy to provide ultra-loud devices that suit hard workers in demanding environments, as well as older adults who need simple, ultra-durable phones they can rely on. Kyocera

Poorest Text Program Ever

edtrekking . 5 months ago

The phone itself is great. Strong. Reliable. Responsive. The problem is in the programming for texting in the "Prediction" mode. When I enter 93 for "we"...the word "week" is predicted. When I enter 843 for "the"....the word "they" is predicted. When I enter 4673 for the word "hope"...."gore" is predicted. 4663 becomes "goods" rather than "home". 228 becomes "causes" rather than "cat". 86 becomes "tomorrow" rather than "to". 47 becomes "growing" rather than "is". 8447 becomes "thirty" rather than "this". 227 becomes "across" rather than "car". I can go on and on with examples. This programming is absolutely ridiculous. I believe this is my 2nd or 3rd DuraXV and the others were programmed sooooo much better . Texting is such a big part of daily life and to have this function more poorly than previous versions is unacceptable. Someone is sleeping on the job.

Kyocera Customer Support - 5 months ago

We are glad that you find DuraXV Extreme+ to be reliable, durable, and responsive. However, we're sorry about the frustration you have had with predictive text entry. The latest predictive text entry solution on DuraXV Extreme+ is designed to learn your word usage over time and adapt to it, so it should become more convenient as you use it. Make sure that "Learn new words" is turned on. To do this, start entering text in Prediction mode, then press the Left Soft Key. Select "0. Text Options." Select "1. Learn new words" and turn it On. Kyocera

Does this phone support group messaging

Answer from Frustrated Kyocera Owner1 year

"Support" is a strong word. It can send&receive group texts, but only after significant struggle. It must download (and transmit) them separately from regular texts, which apparently it finds very difficult: many get stuck in limbo. Bad phone for texting.

Can you use Google maps on this phone?

Answer from Kyocera Customer Support2 years

You can use the browser on your DuraXV Extreme+ to visit the Google Maps website to find your current location and even get directions to another location. Note that you will need to set the Location setting to something other than "E911 Only" for this to work. However, the Google Maps app will not run on this device and turn-by-turn navigation is not available.
