LGL41C Tracfone Ultimate 2 Problem

[ Edited ]

I will probably have to call Tracfone but are any of you having a problem with this phone today? It was trying to download an update for a Google App and keeps freezing up my phone. I got it running once and backed up my photos on it. I have had this over a year and never had one problem with it. Just wondering if maybe the update messed it up? I always can figure things out easily but not this time. I have not added anything off or on this so I am confused.

Thanks.

I am going to call Tracfone after my soaps today as I know I will be on the phone a while. I don't want a bill every month or I would buy an iPhone. I only have it on me due to medical problems if needed. I used to like having no phone when I went shopping. No one bothered me. Smiley Happy

Thanks. She is Precious Lady Madonna and the most precious and smartest dog we ever owned. She definitely rules this house. She is a Shih-Tzu and will be 12 years old on the 27th. She weighs less than 9 pounds and lovable as they get. She has a little ball she brings to us and when we squeak it she will sit and sing until you stop. She reminds us of Funniest Home Videos. We will be crushed when she passes but this is our last dog.

I ended up not calling Tracfone and did a few things on the phone. As long as the Data isn't on it seems to be working ok now. When I would go into the Apps I think some were trying to update but didn't show under Notifications. I can turn the Wi-Fi on now and go to Apps and go back out ok. I did uncheck -under the Settings-to let it NOT Auto update apps and not to pick-up Wi-Fi automatically. I also turned Locations to Off as there were 2 items under that asking for locations yesterday that were not needed. If I want to use Maps etc. I can go in and turn it back on myself when needed. I think the Locations being on was the problem. I started it up today and left Locations off and had no problems. I hope this may help as I love this LGL41C phone. In the meantime I backed up my photos to my Computer. Just plug in the power cord without the adapter on it and use the USB into the computer. Open up My Computer and right click on the Tracfone LG icon and click on Import to your computer. I wasn't sure how to do it but figured it out. Smiley Happy

I use a app Clean Master. It boosts the RAM on my Android phones and tablets. I have devices running Android 4.4 and 6.01. I have used this app for a few years.

I had downloaded the Clean Master App but locked up when I tried to redone load it yesterday. I wonder if it was downloading and locked up so I didn't try and download again. I just added it and CM Security and it downloaded fine. Thanks.

Sorry to take this off-track again, but your Madonna sounds absolutely wonderful!  We had a similar experience with our Lhasa, who passed on a couple of years ago.  She was the best, and we missed her terribly.  We were never going to get another dog.  Within a year we had a new puppy--a Rottweiler, of all things!  And my husband swears that she's the reincarnation of our Lhasa!  Enjoy your little love while you can, but keep an open mind about the possibility of another love.
