I was out of town over Christmas and used the hotspot feature every day.. No issues at all.. My Ipad found it and connected right away..

I am using what ever came with lollipop, I think it is messenging V5.0.2.. on another sub, Blu responded to my inquiries re the storage issue and why the camera can't store to the SD card.. They said they were working on it and keep my eye on Facebook for any updates..

I had to edit the apn settings to get it to work.. Note, I had to edit, not put in a new APN profile.. I left name at straight talk, apn = reseller, mmsc = http://mmsc.mobile.att.net, proxy = proxy.mobile.att.net, mms port = 80, mcc = 310 mnc = 410, apn type - default,mms,supl all the rest...

I was able to send picture messages.. My only issue now is the battery life seems to be worse in lollipop then it was in KK..

The ability to save camera pics to the sd card would be nice, but I can live without it.. I got a follow up from Blu that they are working on several issues.. I also noticed that battery life does not seem to be as good as it was with KK, but that might be due to me playing with it a lot.. I...

I loaded some more music and it reports correctly.. On internal storage it breaks it down into catagories, but external storage just shows space used.. I got a message on Blu's facebook page to send a message to Blu support re the inability to determine default location where things are...

did not do any good.. still can't set camera to store to sd card.. oh well.. not a big deal.. on another thing, I checked the memory thing that has been reported.. I deleted some apps and free memory went up as it should.. Funny thing is when I check memory, it shows everything under internal...

tried a different sd card and same thing.. will try and complete reset later today.. If that doesn't work, will just have to forget about it..

There is one issue I still have not fixed.. I am unable to get pictures to save to the sd card.. I have been able to set music to use the sd card, but nothing else.. I am going to try a different card later today..

It works as a wifi hotspot and I was able to tether via Bluetooth also.. I could not check the usb cable tethering as I don't have a cable that would work..

Not sure if it works, but there is a setting for tethering and mobile hot spots..

there is a setting for where you want apps installed.. three choices, phone, sd card, or let app decide..

I updated it yesterday and no issues so far.. I am on Tracfone BYOP and it changed the APN settings.. I was able to put in correct ones and get it all working.. some things in Lollipop that I am not fond of, but overall I am happy so far..

I went ahead and installed the update.. I don't have a lot of apps, so I don't think it will be an issue for me.. I had to reset some things and there are some things I am not too fond of like no toggle for data on/off, but overall I think it is ok.. I did not have any issues with the update...
