    Post Idol 3 has received oem marshmallow update!!!

    Anyone notice when you plug the phone into the computer now it only shows one disk drive for the phone? It used to show internal storage and SD storage. Now it just shows the SD. Also totally blows I had to copy all my data files and reformat the SD Card to work with 6.0.1. PITA moving all...

    Post Should I buy Idol 3?

    Screen resolution, speakers and ease of use is great on this device. Can be a little laggy, but not too bad. For $200, it's a great deal for the money. It's no Samsung G6 or an iPhone 6, but it'll hang with all the other mid range phones. Just be sure to be careful of the glass screen, is...

    Post Dammm....busted screen!

    Post Dammm....busted screen!

    Sent back to Alcatel. $105 to replace the busted digitizer and ship it back. Hopefully they didn't wipe my phone with a hard factory reset, I requested they not. Should have it back Tuesday.

    Post Dammm....busted screen!

    Yes , I tried using the OTG , but the lockscreen needs to be unlocked for the computer to communicate with both the internal and SD card storage areas. The back door is locked. I submitted an RMA to Alcatel and am waiting for further instructions in a repair. Hopefully it won't set me back...

    Thread Dammm....busted screen!

    After 5 months of use, I managed to break my screen....dam it! I've always been quite careful with my electronics, but managed to drop it today. And of course like a cat always lands on 4 legs, phones usually land face down. Broke the top of the screen and the touch screen is rendered...

    Post Camera Performance

    Under good light it takes great photos. In the dark, photos are pretty grainy, struggle to find the right light balance and exposure. There's definitely better cameras on the market. If the camera is your sole reason for buying the phone, look else where. It's a phone camera, it's far from SLR.

    Post 9/28/15 Performance Update build 7SRA- UEA2

    I've noticed in this update more apps can be switched over to run off the SD Card. I also notice the factory camera app has a slightly different appearance to the buttons. Web browsing is enhanced a little too.
