Hi Mr. Abhinav Jain,

I bought two weeks ago one Blackwiew 9500 Pro from amazon.co.uk but it takes more than
25 hours to charge from 5% to 100% with the phone turned off and connected on cable
and charger provided by the seller. If I turn on the phone the time for charging will be
almost twice as long. While charging, phone only shows “slow charging” or “charging”
message but never shows “fast charge” message. I also took the advice to turn off the app
called “Intercom” and disable the PTT key on the left hand side of the phone but the phone
still doesn’t want to accept the fast charge option. I sent the phone several times to factory
state but no use. I’m thinking to send the phone back…
I’ve tried several times to get in touch with after sale online service help
(http://www.blackview.hk/contact-us/
http://www.blackview.hk/contact-us/)) but couldn’t get through…
Another choice would be to re-write it’s OS entirely but I don’t know how I suppose to do
that without losing the warranty of it.
So if you have any other ideas that actually could help please advice.
Many thanks before.
