What does it mean when the phone boots up and goes to the test screen.
The one with 10 or 15 lines of individual test, all listed at the top.

Shoudl I run some tests?

It's happened 3 times so far, in the last 7 months, and each time I shut
down the phone and rebooted and it worked.

Did you hold any button down while powering on?

I sure don't think so. Would that do it>

A strange thing about this Blu phone, and I noticed it before I bought
it, is that both volume buttons are right across from the power button,
on opposite side. I noticed this before I bought it. I don't like it
but I'm in the habit of holding it funny to turn it on. Of course
maybe I held it wrong 3 times.

I tried holding down Power and Down at the same time, and Power, Up, and
Down at the same time. Most of the time it didn't start, but one of 4
times it started in test mode. So you're probably right.

I think so. I've gotten better at test mode, so it's not quite the
problem it was, except I want to use the phone! thanks
