“With a good design and a low price, the Zmax 2 stands out against other prepaid phones on AT&T in terms of price and performance. However, the unlocked ZenFone 2 Laser and the One Touch Idol 3 offer more powerful processors, higher-resolution displays, and better cameras than the Zmax 2, and $70 seems like a small price to pay for these improvements.”

“There's no real standout feature with the Zmax 2, but there's no real noteworthy flaw, either. In a sub-$100 phone — particularly one with better-than-average battery life like ZTE's device — that's pretty ideal. People who depend on their smartphone as a camera may want to consider other low-cost options, such as the Moto E. But if you're willing to live with the occasional blurry shot, the Zmax 2 is one of the better sub-$100 phones available to AT&T customers.”

“Ultimately, the ZMax 2 is worth buying if you absolutely won't spend more than $100 all in, but if you've got some flexibility, I'd suggest just about any other phone with a better camera Ultimately, when it comes to the ZMax 2, you'll need to make some compromises (namely with the camera). But the device performs reliably, has clear call quality, and a solid battery life.”

The volume on the ZMAX 2 is awwwful. When I record a video, I can't hear a damn thing! Is there anyway to raise the volume. The volume output hole is tiny. John W. Miller

OK...I just had this problem and went on another site and was given the answer.  Just tap on the message....you will then get a list of options and copying the message (text) is one of them.  Mind you just tap....DON'T TAP AND HOLD.... JUST TAP.      After doing that you should be able to paste the message in any other application.

Hi there. To copy paste text, tap and hold on the text, highlighter will show up, highlight the set of text you want to copy, tap copy icon after. Now go to the text field that you want to paste, once there, tap and hold on the empty space and tap paste.

Same goes to files, tap and holding on them will show the option to copy.

I highly suggest using a different set of charger. Looks like there's a problem with the charger you are currently using. If it's still the same after using a different charger, take the phone to a service center, the problem may be the battery.
