The Jivi Prime P444 is a 5-inch budget 4G smartphone from Jivi Mobiles. Many users encounter recurring issues, such as rapid battery drain (often requiring battery replacement), phones failing to power on after bad updates, persistent app crashing, touchscreen delays, Play Store incompatibility, and charging port failures. There are also reports of weak call quality, poor video recording, signal drops, and unresponsive fingerprint sensors. Firmware corruption from failed OTA updates or software experiments is a frequent source of bricking for this model. Flashing the correct SPD firmware—V10, V11, or V12—can revive dead or bugged Jivi P444 units, fix battery consumption issues, and restore normal performance and camera/app functionality.
