Today my Blu Studio X Plus, Android, gave this message a dozen times,
at least this is very close to the message:

"Please don't shelter the red zone. [Use/or press] volume+ and back"

I don't recall if I'm supposed to use those two keys or if I'm
instructed not to.

When I googled this** I got 2 or 3 people for whom this was a great
problem, but I don't think it was interfering with me, even when I got
it. Still, it might have been or it might in the future. Now that
I'm no longer being charged by the car, I don't get it anymore. But
I'd like to understand it.

What is the red zone? I that was for loading and unloading only.

How would one shelter it if he knew what it was? Is that like when
people put lawn chairs in their parking place after they've shoveled
out the snow?

What is "back" and how can I press it. I have Volume Up, Volume
Down, and Power physical buttons. When the screen is blank and I
push power, it lights up (but only for about 5 seconds. I wish it
were longer.) and when it is lit up, there are notifications in the
middle, a phone icon at the bottom left, a camera icon at the bottom
right, and the word "charging" and a padlock icon at the bottom
middle. But I don't touch any of these physical or iconical things
when I get the message at the top. I just move my fingers arond the
top, above the notifications.

These days it's usually a left-pointing triangle virtual button, in the
days of hardware buttons, it might have been a curved arrow

Oh, that. Well, I certainly don't have Back when the screen was
black and I'd just pressed the power button to wake it up. I don't
have any virtual things but the 5 things I described. At least I'm
lucky my phone still works!!

But I guess, when I do have the Back button, I will have to press
Volume+ and it at the same time to see what they prefer to sheltering
in the red zone! I'll see what it does.

BTW, there were more than 4 posts about this problem. I think I read
all the ones I saw but I'll look again. Anyhow, one of the phones
referred to in one of the 4+ posts was also a Blu, even a Studio.
(mine is Studio X Plus, which is 2 times better). I don't know if that
matters. I don't remember if the others were specified.

BTW, it did this one more time a couple days later, when I wasn't
charging from the car, or charging at all, but it hasn't done it
since.

Turn off "prevent picket dialing". It worked for me anyway.
