Hi Austin. Try removing the battery and press the power button for 10 seconds. Place the battery back in and insert the charger. Give the phone 5 minutes before turning it on. Let me know how it goes.

Hmm... Seems like a manufacturing error. I suggest taking it back to the store where you bought it or to a Kyocera service center. Hope it gets fixed soon. Good luck!

Carl p you are getting on my nerves. I've read multiple complaints about head phones not working on the Kyocera hydro wave. Its a common problem. The device fails to play audio through the audio jack. Instead it plays through the phone only. I personally have used multiple sets of head phones on my device and they do not work on this device only. I personally will never buy another phone made by Kyocera. Their devices are inferior.

Hi keith. Sorry, can you please describe or add more info about the problem? I'm having a hard time understanding what happened or how the problem happened.If the headphones just stopped working all of a sudden, maybe a wire on the headphones snapped.

Simply use call and SMS blocking apps. You can find a lot of them in Google Play store.

Go to Settings > Backup & reset > Tap Factory data reset > Reset phone > To begin the hard reset operation select Erase everythingKeep in mind that this will erase everything inside the phone. So I suggest that you backup files first before doing it.

Usually, a simple restart gets you off safe mode. Please try it.

Hi Bob. Did you install any app before that started?

Are you sure it's not your networks coverage weak on your area?

What did you last do before this started happening? Check the battery, check if it's bloated or not. A bad battery can cause this to happen.
