Pinwheel Sucks

I don't know what is going on with my Pinwheel phone; this is to put it lightly, but it sucks. It was fine for the first couple of months, but then it started acting up. It would take a solid minute to send messages. I don't know if that had to do with the data plan I have; it might be, but there are other problems with it. Such as the notifications going off every second. ON average, I will get around 2,000 notifications a day just from the Permission Controller. I have tried multiple times to turn off the notifications, but I can't. I have tried to get my parents to turn them off, but they can't do it either. I don't know why my phone needs to constantly remind me that "Contacts has location access" or "Messenger has location access" literally two times in the same minute. Another one of the many problems with this phone is when it kicks me out of apps that are approved by the Pinwheel Manager. I have been kicked out of Amazon Music, the Messenger app, Gmail, Pinwheel settings, Duolingo, the Camera app, Google Drive, and all of the other apps I have so many times that I can not tell you how many times. To clarify, when I was kicked out, I did not click on any unsupported links, ads, locked pages, or restricted places on the app. The reason I bring this up is that I rely heavily on Google Maps for work to get around. I do not have time to pull over every five minutes to re-enter the address because it keeps kicking me out of the app. Another thing, I don't always receive messages, nor do my messages always send. I will usually have to resend that message three times to get it to finally send. The key board glithches almosth all the time. It will double-print letters if it is plugged in and charging. I know it is not the sensitivity, because I have messed with it trying to get it to work. It will glitch when someone is calling me and won't let me answer the call. It has activated the emergency SOS button and called 911 before I could hang up. I have tried to do just about everything to make my phone run more smoothly. I have restarted it, over and over again. Made sure all the software was up to date. made extra space for RAM in my storage. Turned on the XtraRAM button in the settings. I have cleared the Cache on all the apps that would allow me to do it. My phone is a G64 model, I don't know if all the other Modles are the same, but this one is just a piece of crap. It has more problems; I have only listed the big ones. So... yeah, the Pinwheel G64 Model is a terrible phone, don't waste your money.
