ZTE freezing up

I'm still having this issue too even after switching to the new ZTE Valet replacement phone I was sent. I have tried everything mentioned here and it still will not power on at times until I take the battery out, then put it back in. It doesn't happen as often with this new phone but, it should not be happening at all!

I am seriously looking for another smartphone that doesn't have this problem. I know I'll have to pay more than the $50 I paid for this one. It will be worth it to not have to worry about it powering on. I have seen some good deals on other phones with more options and larger screens. I always read the customer reviews and more than 90% of them are positive.

Groupon or Amazon Local have a deal on a refurb Samsung S2,3,4 for as low as $59 plus plans stating at zero/mo (500 min/500txt/500MB, I believe). The company is relatively new so you need to check coverage. My home is ok but places I go to are not...maybe soon!

My Valet is still OK for me with a freeze-up of only about 1/mo. I may try the suggested Greenify.
