alcatel Flash Plus - User Reviews

  • Hi how to upadate in 15.05.13? Latest version Step bt step

  • change default write disk to internal storage

  • Yes it does. Located at the left side under the SIM1 slot.

  • I need help for my Flash Plus, I recently bought an SD Card with 16GB memory. I succesfully mounted the card and the device had read it, I have set the default write disk to the SD Card. When I was about to place new apps, the playstore told me I don't have anymore storage left and I had to delete the apps. I don't know if the problem is with the phone or the SD Card.

  • same problem...no sound from speaker

  • with me over 2 years, everything works, battery still last a day (normal usage), takes good n sharp pictures n video. no complain for a phone at this price level. except sometimes camera cannot launge but need restart HDR might not be real but does not matter, no real need for that

  • finally after more than 2 yrs with me, my AOFP fail to get any signal from both sim. maybe most of the smartphone will only survive this long. RIP my aofp. nice spec, good price, but with hard-to-get accessories and never-update-os, i will stop using phone from alcatel. thanks for being with me, i will return to my old-friend-3310 until i get my new phone.

  • try to go to setting and look for RESET-and try to reset the Network Settings itself

  • How can i clear data usage.??. I cannot access my mobile data. Thanks

  • what did you do to fix it? thanks

  • How can i fixed This when I play music after the lights out the music also turn off then i turn it on again after that when the light is off the music also stop. Pls help me how to fixed this. God blss

  • are there any news if there's going to be an update ?

  • The camera used in this videos is the built-in camera of Alcatel One Touch Flash plus:

  • Hi there! Where can i set my data usage i cant find it on settings. Thanks

  • Hi there! Where can i set my data usage i cant find it on settings. Thanks

  • I have the same issue and I even brought to the main office to have it fix, according to them, alcatel didn't release any software update to fix the issue, in-short you just have to use the alcatel apps to install the games that cannot be install with google play.

  • Does it has sd card slot

  • You cant. It can only hold up to 32 gb.

  • Go to settings>storage then choose internal storage. You can now update your fb after the phone restarts, then you can decide if you still want to go back to external storage.

  • you can update apps with share apk,install that with manual..

  • but what if you upgraded the phone ,you think that something God knows what'll happen?NO only to reduce the internal memory and the phone will be running slower.

  • No, Alcatel is 'wellknown' brand for abandoning their products from software upgrade. They only care about sales, so you can upgrade OS by buying their 'new' model of phones (i.e.: flashplus2), this flashplus was outdated.

  • is the os this phone upgradeable...

  • Try to switch to internal storage instead of SD card storage when downloading the apps. Tried that in updating Facebook and Snapchat and it worked.

  • I had the same problem before. i had it fixed with an authorized service center. Good thing mine was still under warranty then. If not, the speaker replacement is PhP700 plus service fee of Php350.

  • Has anyone tried updating their Facebook app? Since I can't update with the new version, I uninstalled mine and it went back to the very outdated version after re-installation. Probably because we still have the old Kitkat version. Do you have any tips how I can update my Facebook app without any error showing up? Thanks.

  • You can play Pokemon Go with android version 4.4.4. Download the pokemon go apk and run it will works. Pokemon Go version 47.1 working fine.

  • Didn't work. Huhuhu

  • go to Play Store and install'' CM Security'' run and will ask to install ''Stubborn Tr.jan Ki..er'' or install directly was missing on the first word 'O' and double LL in the second so complete

  • settings-data usage-select your mobile operatot -(not wi fi) - thurn on mobile data - now you see the diagram with two lines, yellow is for warning and red is to limit data so mark , and select by pull up the lines to your limit

  • What do i do when ghosts touch begins to occur on the acatel flash plus?

  • same problem as mine could you guys tell me where i can find the menu?

  • Could you please tell me how to set "mobile data limit" or "data usage limit" on my alcatel flash plus? Thanks

  • to what is quickly consumes battery could be a few reasons; as well as programs running in the background. facebook, instagram, snapchat, messenger, Netflix, Outlook, etc, another reason to turn off the data connection when you do not need , also to put the display in low light, and delete or disable apps that you do not use it just as well to do the factory data reset to empty the system of unnecessary data, but only if you do not root your phone But there are other tricks that can improve battery performance and that rule is that the battery is not discharged below 25% and not be charged more than 95%, which means hold between these percentages, with everyday small Recharging because that hold the battery in good shape and to know in both cases if the battery is below 25% or above 95%, then decreases for one cycle of the battery , and knowing that there is 500-1500 cycles (depending on the producers) ,However, with this method you can avoid counting and extends the life of the battery, however, once a week, turn off the phone overnight. Try, the difference is obvious , if your battery is not spent all cycles and then have to replace it with a new one.

  • same problem as mine :( pls help. how to fix it?

  • do anyone know where can I buy a battery replacement for Alcatel Flash Plus here in the Manila?

  • How can i transfer my application from internal to sd card in my alcatel flash plus 2 since i buy 128 gb memory card?

  • Hi! When I'll download apps on my AOFP using google playstore, it's always error 491. Please fix this. And please make a LOLLIPOP UPDATE!

  • My best affordable android phone so far. Decent specs compatible for any existing apps as of present. Processing is smooth and I experienced no lagging but some crashing though. Battery capacity is the most notable for this phone and truly has a long-life usage based on experience. Don't expect too much on the the camera specs as well as the screen resolution. Verdict: A decent android phone and truly a bang for the buck!

  • How can i fix my alcatek flash plus speaker .?

  • What do you mean by home page? Close the app?

  • To playe pokemon go do this: 1. Just open the pokemon go app. 2. When the Niantic Logo is displayed, go to home page and wait for 20-30 sec. 3. After 20-30 sec, open the app and the logo gyarados will display andwait for your profile to be loaded. Note: If your google account is not yet signed in, just do the step 1 and 2, then step 3 would be, 3. Click Sign In using Google account, then go to home page and wait again for another 20 - 30 sec. 4. After 20-30 sec, open the app and the logo gyarados will display and just wait for your profile to be loaded. It works for me. Hope it helps! :)

  • Hi, admins! If I'm violating any rules, I'm sorry. I need help :( I can't find my Alcatel Onetouch Flash Plus system camera app :( Do you know how I can retrieve it?

  • Applications can be transferred via ''Bluetooth ''or ''USB''connecting to PC , and later, you need to install these applications , but, first in seting should enable installation of apps from untrusted sources and that means they are not from the ''play store'', and if something happens because there is always a risk of applications that are of unknown origin , then the responsibility is yours. so , if you have more questions ask elect. greeting

  • I am facing issue with the network on my alcatel flash 2. I have a bill plan that offers me 1 GB 4G and then 2G unlimited. My bill date is 8th. Problem is : as soon as 4g is enabled on the new bill cycle, my 2nd sim network is lost. for this issue only i submitted my phone to service centre 4 times and they were not able to fix it.

  • first put the phone to charge , wait for 2-3 min to see if start to charde if yes , then press the power button for more than 7sec, if wont start then try this, {but let charge at last 30 min just leave on charger. then unplug from charger and ; hold down the volume up key and press power key at same time ( more than 5sec.) until the screen lights up to boot the device with recovery mode , and then press volume up\down key to select the ''wipe data factory reset''. this will erase all personal data from internal storage, and start as when it was new, I hope it will help.

  • I am a MYPHONE user, ive decided buying alcatel flash plus after reading reviews and forums. Been using flash plus for a month now. And then woke up that this phone doesnt power on. The shop wer i purchase the product doesnt offer a repair or a replacement. After spending money with this phone, then what now?

  • Just replaces speaker with the new, your speaker will normal again.

  • Hi guysss......I have a problem.....just yesterday i tried opening my phone but the screen would'nt turn on .....i can receive sms but i can't read it coz the screen is black....i can open the camera via camera button in the bottom part.....but when i press home the screen went black....i tried formatting it but it says..no command.....what to do please....anyone .....help!

  • no friend, i'm just saying that it is bull***t if the reason why alcatel hasnt released the lollipop update is because it will ruin the phone. the fact is, ive already heard many times that even with unofficial lollipop update via custom rom, this alcatwl flash plus performs well with longer battery life. so why they havent released the update until now?

  • My speaker is not working. Anybody have the same problem like me? Just bought this last Sept.

  • You think you're smart Bonfire your nickname looking for help and now you have become very clever 'moojib' or 'napkinzz' or **** moojib PxVj 29 Jan 2016 hi guys, I need to occassionally print to my wireless printer, and it cannot always connect to the printer. in the setting there is no "printing" option as in other phones (alcatel flash 2 and zenfone 5 has this option). where can I locate the "printing" option/setting? any help would be appreciated. thanks

  • If you knew better then why you waited tell everyone how to do it, because that what I wrote that was what I discovered reading problems than those who had . but I say to you ,do not need of offensive frustration and hidden choirs This is a free forum and is not for condemnation and insults

  • what makes you think that if Alcatel flash plus gets updated to Lollipop, it will ruin everyhing about the phone, from ita performance, battery life, etc? well, you know nothing about this matter my friend. we all here already know that this phone can be upgraded to Lollipop through custom rom. and i heard that this phone runs much faster and the battery life is improved significantly. So stop being smart**s here!

  • Bought mine few months ago... Hands on experience 1. Very good battery can go whole day with 3g and 4g 2. Good camera and front can 3. Good screen 5.5inches Note: about the screen display... If u set it to 1 minute inactivity the screen will turn off... And if u click or put it in power+ mode all the settings will change, lowest brightness and screen inactivity will always set to 15secs. If u disable power+ mode it will go back to your original settings... I read some comments about the screen display settings issue... I hope this helps Over all the phone is excellent and affordable

  • Thank you Marji, and I 'm glad that we met here. and that there is no confusing in the future , I can use another name, greeting.

  • Wakakak i'm speechless now, well nice to meet you

  • This is just how they do things. Release a new phone abandon the previous one. They don't care about their users. Hopefully more users will be aware and won't be fooled by alcatel. Let's Abandon alcatel just like how they abandon their products. Say no to alcatel!

  • Unfortunately NO! for your information, about 2 years ago I had a problem with my android and here I found a solution for this , so I decided that I could help others as much more . I use the Alcatel name because I'm a fan of long years , more then 15 years and I have another one from 2003 still works and the battery lasts 4 days --OT 331-- cheers

  • Your answer just giving me another address to complain? oh lord, and what are you anyway, are you alcatel representatif or not

  • marji ; I regret if my opinion seems to defend Alcatel company , I 'm just saying my opinion just as you say your opinion as everyone else , I welcome all of you and I will not write more about this if you want direct answers to your questions here's address ;

  • Would you care to tell us th exact words that they told you ?

  • Alcatel replies to me and what they mean to me is like this... - we don't have lollipop upgrade to this device, please like our new page and buy a new alcatel phone. WTH.

  • I'm still waiting for your reply Alcatel Company . Fail to attain the answer and to solve the problem will result into a "No to Alcatel" campaign which will tear your company down .

  • Why you always talking about bug bug and bug, we dont care if lollipop will be buggy or not. What we all want just lollipop os for flash plus and what alcatel should do just RELEASE LOLLIPOP UPDATE FOR FLASH PLUS, thats it

  • jufasa your opinion is fine , and I support the conclusion that there is no lolipop upgrade , but I'll just mention android lolipop no ordinary update that delete the already existing program , 'kitkat' and install a new program ,' lolipop' which is around 4.5GB . Despite this I personally have a samsung s4 and when I upgrade to lolipop, later I regretted because it affects a lot of trouble and now need one by one to solve them . therefore say, it is better when you buy a phone with the already installed program 'lolipop' than later upgraded because, many problems occur ,I'm not defending anyone just suggest. compare this 2 phones i find this; Alcatel Flash Plus - 2015, May Chipset Mediatek MT6752M CPU Octa-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 GPU Mali-T760MP2 **************************** Alcatel Flash 2 - 2015, September Chipset Mediatek MT6753 CPU Octa-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 GPU Mali-T720MP3 according to specification flash2 is newer and better. greeting.

  • We dont care if it will be buggy or not, what we all want just lollipop update for flash plus, thats it. So JUST RELEASE LOLLIPOP OS FOR FLASH PLUS

  • i personally bought the phone because i wanted a phone with great specs that could be upgraded to lollipop. The flash 2 has lower specs in comparison to the flash plus but it run the lollipop just fine, no? What we're to say is, don't promise something you won't deliver. You defending them doesn't change that fact.

  • you're so boring , ''do not buy alcatel no upgrade'' , but what do you think if you get to upgrade your phone will get better fast, no ..but lolipop android taken 4.5GB of internal memory, a difference almost do not exist , even slowing down the phone , and Battery is consumed quickly, applications do not work etc, if you do not like then goodbye.

  • Please don't buy this phone and never buy from Alcatel. They don't care if customer's are requesting for upgrades and all they care about is their sales. It happens all the time even on their flagship devices, idol series. I will not be surprised if flash2 marshmallow upgrade is a lie. I heard their new devices will come out soon. I WILL NEVER BUY ALCATEL AGAIN!

  • Will there be an update coming ? This phone is getting boring and crappy . The Alcatel company should work for this one , fast . For a slow or a flaw of device will tear your company down to the ground

  • I love this phone. with different brands and models including apple and samsung i have tried this one stands out when it comes to signal coverage. we have very poor signal in our area which is closing to dead spot, but with this phone i can even have stable 4g signal. I have mine the gold one...thanks alcatel

  • Indeed. There are many options out there that provides better os support. No to Alcatel!!!

  • dont buy this phone, because it only promise to update lollipop and finally ignored..

  • Good Specs. But 1 of the Worst Mobile Manufacturer out there. Can't even upgrades their Units, after their Outstanding Flash Sales w/c always Sold Out. They will just Abandoned this Unit like nothings happen. All I can say is "No to Alcatel Again".

  • Ok...now tell to world ...alcatel no good for buy

  • If you say , a lot off bug....what about another brand...do you not have qualified develop ?

  • why you guys from alcatel didn't provide qualified developers? or indeed alcatel flash plus is just a childish project? can't you hear many people requesting about next update whether 5.0.2 or better 5.1.1

  • But there is no problem updating the flash 2 which runs smoothly on lollipop and will have a marshmallow update? Just admit it that alcatel abandoned this phone.

  • update coming with problems , so it's safer when you stay at a basic program that's for sure

  • Better yet don't buy any alcatel phone. All they do is release new phone, they abandon the phone and don't provide update just like this flash plus.

  • Don't buy this phone it doesnt have Lollipop update.

  • Don't buy this phone it doesnt have Lollipop update.

  • You're right alcatel almost do not give the update but I think it is because of the problems that arise because of that fear . for me personally means nothing to the lolipop because i like and I am satisfied

  • Because you are talking about 5.0 which indeed has lot of bugs, but most of those bugs/issues had been fixed by lollipop 5.1. Point is alcatel promised that there will be a lollipop update when they release this phone. But after just a few months they abandoned the flash plus, released flash 2 with lollipop. That's just how they do things, they release a bunch of phone with no update at all. This will be the last alcatel phone for me as well because i'm sick of their lies and bs.

  • lolipop update come with a lot of problems, because it is not an ordinary update , delete, KitKat installed lolipop about 4.5 - GB, lasts 3-6 hours and many complain of problems and later to get back on KitKat but the procedure is impossible ­

  • That's what they do... They abandon their phones just months after it's release. So for those wanting to buy alcatel phones, don't waste your money.. You are better off with other phones like xiaomi or lenovo which releases updates. Don't bother with this crappy flash plus that will be forever running kitkat with no lollipop update. 👎🙅

  • alcatel onetouch flash plus (AOFP) is the worst phone that i use, when i ask confirmation about next update (FYI, now AOFP still running kitkat 4.4.4) someone from alcatel said there is no more update for AOFP OS because latest update is stable, wtf? i am very disappointed with alcatel, this the last time i buy product from alcatel, even cheaper xiaomi still get update, ALCATEL ONETOUCH FLASH PLUS IS THE WORST PHONE

  • Hi guys, I have been using this alcatel flash plus almost 5 months, and it satisfy my need at all time. It's very good in specs when I combined it with 32gb SanDisk micro sd. However, It also having crashed or hang (system jammed), Not always but sometimes, that made me worried. I thought maybe the LEWA system was not stable enough. LEWA crashed my contact, message, call, and Chrome. May I get your suggestion, Is there any alternative for LEWA system?

  • Hey. My flash phone is always overcharge, Im so worried if it will damage. Is it?

  • A class 10 memory card can be use in flash plus?

But it plays movies smoothly with no ghosting associated with high speed scenes on led screens tnx to the mediatek technology. The battery charge and processor is excellent.

  • How to update to lollipop?

  • I think that there is no upgrade to 5.0 lolipop but just to know it's no ordinary update first uninstall KitKat os, and install a completely new android 5.0 lolipop and this process takes 3-6 hours because its size follows; Android 5.0 (ignoring the SD card) consists of the following 4 partitions: 1. mmcblk0p23, for System, 2.9GB 2. mmcblk0p24, for Cache, 1.0GB 3. mmcblk0p26, for Data (userdata, incl Apps), 10.6GB 4. Swap, 1.2GB (equivalent to the Windows "virtual memory" file, for instance) Their sum is 2.9 + 1.0 + 1.2 = 5.1GB Android 5.0 is 5.1GB if you use these "default" partition sizes. after update ,some users have encountered a range of issues, including freezes, crashes, stutter and lag. In-place upgrades can be the cause of that. navigating apps can become laggy, probl with Wi-Fi connectivity , battery bug , camera bug , GPS problems , flashlight bug , overheating , performance problems etc. all these problems after installation should be improved

  • I Have a question, I'm using flash plus for more than a month now, so far it is working perfectly fine, and I have been trying to update its OS 4.4.4 which is kitkat to 5.0 Lollipop OS.

  • Anyone also having errors playing audio? How can I fix this? Please help

  • usually it is not the charger fault, than to a USB cable that plugs into the charger .So Try to replace the USB cable,it is standard and fits on every phone .But if it is faulty battery charger, then you can charge with a USB cable connected up to a PC or laptop.

  • great phone so far,, no lag (video or games) no drain batterai,,, everything is fine,, love it

  • I can't find the update of my AFP wherei can see it?

  • lolipop not update , than a new operating software.

  • Android 5.0 lolipop is 5.1GB lolipop application will uninstalled KitKat version, and will install entirely new operating system, that will take 5.1GB and it takes 3-5 hours

  • Theresa Li- ion batteries should not be discharged until the end . When it reaches 30 % , then to charge it I do not fill up to 100 % than 90 % That helps extend battery life and when they do not reach 100 % then charging does not count Because each battery has a cycle of charging 500-1000 .

  • They probably wont release a lollipop update for this phone. That's how alcatel has been always, they will probably abandon this phone like the others before.

  • Go to setting -> storage -> default write disk -> internal. After reboot, you can update your apps (clash of clan, etc) with playstore. Thx :)

  • you can still do everything without upgrading the operating system. the operating system is just an update for a new feature of the phone itself like for example, user interface (android kitkat look is different from lollipop). Regarding on the application, you should always check the system requirements of the application. as long as the applications states that you can use your operating system of your phone then you are good to go and use the said application

  • yes it is still available

  • sir do you have any updates on your problem? because we have the same problem with my wife's flash plus.

  • you have to enable your data connection.

  • yes, it's available at these stores according to alcatel: yep, 7,499 php is the srp. the 6,490 price was a sale price.

  • is it available in the market? last i saw was Php 7499 from lazada from an original price of Php 6490.

  • Hey. Mine last only half a day playing once in a while, using wifi and txting. Then u complain for 3days use of ur phone??

  • Mine last only half a day gaming and frequent use. Then this guys complains his phone last only 3days? Tsk tsk.

  • Afaik there is no "move to sd card" option..unless rooted. What I did was I just set the default write disk to sd card..i think it sorta had the same effect as moving to sd card..

  • hi..! does anyone here knows how to activate the wifi hotspot or tethering? i did activate it, but my laptop says no internet access even in my samsung tab.. i already enable ipv4 and 6.. how pleeease?

  • Maybe he should go for Nokia 3310..

  • You phone last 3 days and it is not enough for you? You kind a new to the smartphone world my fren... Haha...

  • i encountered the same problem! my battery will only lasts around 6-8 hours even on idle. i cannot access playstore too and ever factory reset my phone!

  • i encountered the same. it is always at the same coverage ( 3G only) despite many setting had been done. I genuinely do not think flash plus is meant for 4G. Flash 2 yes. it shows 4G on the screen.

  • I also experience that with Viber wherein I dont get the notification count for new messages unlike other phones. I only have the viber icon at the top for new messages. Is there a way that I can get the viber notification count in my AFP as well?

  • I have also experienced some lagging issues whenever I use apps simultaneously. I try to close the apps resolve the lagging issues.

  • It's a non-removable battery. You also cannot open the back of the phone. All SD card and sim card slots can be found along the sides.

  • Whether d battery is removable or non removable? Kindly post ur suggession, since I have an idea to get this....

  • Whether d battery is removable or non removable? Kindly post ur suggession, since I have an idea to get this....

  • My battery life is disappointing! >~< emphasis on my because my friends who bought the same phone rave about how great it is and how long it lasts but I have no idea why mine only takes the most for it to last is 3 days and that's minimal app usage. Is it because I didn't calibrate my battery properly the first time I used it? Any and all opinions will be appreciated

  • Yeah I have the same problem, I have to check the app first, tho sometimes it depends on the speed of the WiFi for me, once it connects to the WiFi, the notifications just pop up but mostly the whole app notification is a problem

  • As I've said, the camera takes decent pictures. Not the best but just ok for your normal picture taking.

  • How is the set to use ? is it user friendly or it have any hanging problem?

  • Anyone else experiencing lag on AFP? The ram management for this phone is quite poor, terrible lag when playing some high end game like NFS no limits. It will only be resolved after i swipe/close some other open apps although i don't have much open.

  • Oh ok.. As for me it's viber and sometimes the fb and email apps that doesn't show notifications.. I think the problem is my Internet connection because when I switched to 4g I started receiving notifications &#128522;

  • I think that's normal because of the big batt and the charger is only 1a..

  • yah I had encountered that before with LINE app. All the rest were giving notifications except LINE... but after my phone reset to factory settings by itself, i mean like BY ITSELF, everything is good now.

  • it's already available in store however the price tag is a bit higher, i think it'll be P7,499 in mall kiosks.

  • How many hours to make the battery fully charge... Cause mine takes 3-4 hours before it is fully charge.. Is my phone has a problem?.. Pls. Reply

  • buy it from LAZADA damn....screen cant be touch after riding in the rain

  • Just got this phone about a month ago..so far so good..but I'm having some problems receiving app notifications..I only receive notifications when the app is open..but when I remove it from from the recent apps list I don't receive any notification from it anymore..has anyone encountered that problem?

  • I just encountered a problem with my AFP. My son installed this 1 Tap Hibernate App, and after that everything went LAGGY! The battery drains at about 3pm after getting fully charged at 7am wthout playing any games! Now I uninstalled 1 Tap Hibernate, but now I could not access Play Store, even after doing some tricks to access it again. I went through Resetting the phone to factory settings but it would not allow m e. I pressed the erase button but it just blinks and would not proceed to the Resetting to Factory settings! What a big problem!

  • So far,how was device battery,it is good? And how about the camera

  • sir answer me.. if it still available in sm cebu????? asap//

  • hey guys. . . its still available the alcatel flus plus in stores??? please answer me.. coz i wanted to buy that phone..

  • yeah i agree with you. camera is not working well in low light. but i tried another camera app i think its neither open camera or android camera.. used them to capture image and surprised that image size went 4mb. i think afp camera compressed it before saving.

  • open image that you want to save then click on menu... menu is located at left part of home button

  • I have one problem about AFP. I cannot save images from facebook application. Anybody else can help me please?

  • Had it for 3 days. All I can say it is a value for money device. Everything works fine. No lags especially in playing heavy games. Camera is nice although not the best but pictures taken are all in decent quality.

  • Hi U have Flash 2.so please tell me your opinion about battery life standby and talk time how hours. Please reply

  • I looked into that file size question cuz I spotted that here previously.... The resulting file size does depend on how much detail is in the pic and the software + compression used. Take a picture of something or someone in front of a plain white background. Not much other detail there. Same someone or something with a lot of detail in the background. You'd get a different file size. There are several phone makers that have a lower resolution camera / sensor in the device to cut costs. To get a higher resolution picture (13MP = 4000+ x 3000+ resolution), they'll use software to bump it up. The jpeg compression involved reduces the file size at the same time. A 13MP image would have a 4MB file size or larger. That file size is typically associated with uncompressed image data. Anyways, this is what all I was finding out about it.

  • Honestly, must admit that my old 8MP Mi Redmi 1 took better photo (even with min light)than my new 13MP AFP! I found 2 issues with the AFP camera: 1) The file size of photo captured was quite small, around 1 to 2 MB with resolution of rear camera set at 13MP; shouldn't the file size be much bigger @ 13MP? 2) when I open the file with either Gallery or Photos, it looks quite clear & nice but if I open the same file in File Manager, it looks very blur! I m trying with Google Camera now and hoping to get better quality picture...

  • It's really weird.... I see the posts about the cameras on this phone but I only ran into one problem. I tried out the cameras using the stock app. I use the rear camera to take a picture under one of my tables (there's next to no light under that table). But when I check the pic, it's very clear. So much so that I can literally and clearly see a hair on the ground when I'm zoomed in a little on the pic. I can also see very clearly that I need a broom under there.... real soon!! XD But otherwise, I'm not seeing a problem. Thankfully I didn't see something smiling and/or waving at me under there!! I took a picture (a mother holding her baby... mother's request) with the rear camera while outside in the late afternoon. Not that much light left at the time. Still a very clear pic. Another indoors (well lit area) of my wife fixing a pair of glasses. Also very clear. That pic would have been better IF my hand was a little more steady (I was hungry!!). But when trying out the front camera for photos, they come out dark and sucky in low light conditions. But completely fine in well lit areas. I don't waste my time with selfies (IMO, selfies are a marathon of useless). But those that like taking selfies would really hate the front cam in low light conditions. The weird part shows up when I try ANY video use (skype and video recordings) with the front camera. It all comes out clear as could be even in low light conditions. I'd also like to try out something for a different camera app (for better features mostly) but didn't get around to finding one yet. IF you get one, let us know..... thanks!! Maybe one of the other camera apps would straighten out the front cam.

  • You're overlooking 2 things. 1) The 6,490 price tag IS a sale price. 2) You bought from a store in a mall. So they're not only trying to pay their rent to stay there, they're also trying to make some money too. Hehehehehehehe.... no one opens a business to lose money!! So there's the price you saw for the AFP. It's not really a matter of you got "scammed" or " they overpriced" or something like that. Chances are, another store in another mall could have a completely different price (either higher or lower).

  • This is due to the fact that the phone was first exclusively released in Lazada before it hit the Mall shelves. And the phone went on sale in Lazada for Php 6,490 :)

  • I think most of us find that the photo quality taken by both front & rear camera of AFP is quite bad claiming that they are 8MP & 13MP respectively especially when lack of light or in dark environment! Does anyone knows any APP that could improve the quality of AFP's camera or there are limitation on hardware that could not been compensated by software??? Thanking you in advance!

  • I was able to get this in Lazada for P6490. I'm not sure if this is still available in Lazada.

  • All are fine except the camera is very very bad.

  • may i know the real price of this phone in the market (official store)?? i bought this phone in SM Megamall in cash for Php 7,499.00. but i keep on encountering on the net a Php 6,490 price for this phone. may i get some feedback about this.

  • Considering the specs of flash plus, it can fullfill all alcatel lovers. Bt they are not launching it in INDIA.

  • I happen to be using XP !! Win 10 is known to cause problems for several of the video games I play. Can't have that !! But yeah, that's the "short n skinny" of it !! There's always the chance your hardware won't be able to run the OS in question. The "Insta-Broken XLPOS9000"...... that's a joke name. The only way to check if you caught rotten luck and got that bad version is to keep using your AFP and see if you're also having the same kinda problems like others are posting about here. Things like lag in your games or something went screwy when it should not have and you can't easily fix it. If so, there's a good chance you caught bad luck and got that bad version. It comes out to "Broken from the start..... eXtra Large..... Piece Of..... well, you get the idea!! Once discovered, returning / claiming the warranty for the AFP becomes a priority. It's like I said before..... it's all one big luck shot. Luck in getting one is needed and luck in getting a good one is also needed. Look at that..... How many had to ask where to get one? Even I had to put in the effort just to get one. Went looking all over the place for the AFP and the one place that had it, was also out of stock so I had to wait longer and get them to tell me when it would be there. Even at that, they told me a wrong date and time the first time. How many posted about the problems they had or are having when they got one. But others did not have these problems. Yup.... it's a luck shot with this phone right from the start. Lots O Luck !!

  • i dont think that alcatel will launch flash plus in INDIA. I think its a fake news they are given

  • Alcatel flash have verry verry worst camra quality.. Verry verry bad..

  • Well explained "Big Game Addict"! So is it just like I have a PC, which is still working fine on Windows XP, don't go for Windows 10 (maybe the hardware could not support windows 10 too...) By the way, how and where to check if my AFP is "Insta-Broken XLPOS9000" version? Cheers mate!

  • In all reality, no, not really!! It mostly depends on the person using the Android device in question. Some want the "latest n greatest" and others don't really care. For the most part, if you're happy enough with the OS you have..... well, if it isn't broken, don't fix it!! That seems to be the part most are overlooking. So don't let the overblown complaints about it get to you!! It upgrades to another version of Android.... ok. It doesn't upgrade.... still ok as long as things are working. In my case, I have a Galaxy Mini running Android 2.2. I used that thing for 5+ YEARS. It's still working fine too. I didn't care about the OS version. I only bought a new phone because I wanted something with much stronger specs. And YES, I got that when I caught luck and ended up getting the good version of this phone. Not the Insta-Broken XLPOS9000 version of this phone!! It's the Insta-Broken version that people ended up getting instead of the good version (not so lucky for them). So here comes the complaints. ALL the problems I've had with this phone so far were puny. Nearly pointless to even mention at times. I haven't seen lags like others are describing. The sound and everything else is working fine. I'd LIKE to get a better camera app but even the stock one is working fine. This has been the case for me since August 2015 when I got this phone. Others.... not so lucky. You're right, the AFP is NOT a Lollipop device. However, I have spotted a custom ROM that would make it a Lollipop device. I have no idea how well it works because I never tried it for myself. Oh well !! Your apps only depend on the OS MINIMUM version to make them work. The minimum version required is almost always listed in the Play Store app description. Thank the developer as you see fit IF it isn't listed there. Otherwise, they stop working due to a bug or several bugs or some incompatability with a specific device or a clueless user. It's almost never because you didn't or couldn't upgrade your OS. IF an app requires a higher version of Android, you can ALMOST always find a suitable replacement app. Or get another device with the required OS depending on how much you REALLY want that app. Most app updates I've seen still have a minimum OS requirement that was there from the start. If the developer of the app in question had anything resembling intelligence, that detail wouldn't change. If it did, they would cut off a very large number of their own users that are using older OS versions with just a single update. Not terribly bright no matter which way you look at it!!

  • I think makumakunii was talking about AF2 and not AFP! Anyway, I hv some questions about all these OS stuffs and hope someone could help me to understand more. Is it really important to upgrade the OS from Kitkat to Lollipop? What will happen if my phone cannot be upgraded? Will my FB, whatsapp&#65292;Gmail etc... stop working and I can't even call out & receive call? Please advice, cheers!

  • Flash plus is not a lollipop device. It still runs on kitkat and there is no certainty if a lollipop update will come.

  • The Alcatel Flash 2 has been great for its price so far. I have yet to encounter performance issues from my daily usage. One thing that is bothersome though is while everyone is saying bugs about video with alot of noise/grains while in low light they didn't see that the storage selection has its own bug. If you install games that requires additional data like NFS or Asphalt 8 it stores the downloaded data in the sdcard even if you set Internal as default write disk. This is the only Lollipop device with sdcard that I have encountered this so I know it's not a LP thing but definitely an Alcatel ROM bug.

  • Ive had the phone for 2 weeks now. So far i have no issues regarding the phones performance atleast for its price its better than what i expected it to be. Battery life is not as good as my iphone 6+ and when battery is at 4% it just takes 3 mins to get to 1%. Charging life is abit slow. Camera is not really that good. But with such a cheap price there's really nothing to complain about. I would recomend this phone to anyone looking for a secondary phone or someone who's on a budget

  • I bought it for about USD115 via Lazada Malaysia in Sept 2015.

  • Has Alcatel Flash Plus Been Released In Africa Example Like Ghana?

  • Bro, I used to be very concern about whether the battery of a cellphone could be replaced or not when it reached the end of it's lifespan but one day, I suddenly realize that with the speed of new technology & new phone model coming out nowadays, I always change my phone before the battery is dead. So I think whether or not the battery could be replaced is not really important nowadays!?

  • i have to agree with the camera... it could have been better given that it's 13mp Sony sensor. bad quality when zooming and during low light. overall, it's a good phone with its price in consideration

  • Dude, no offence but at this price range, I won't expect too much! If I m so demanding, I would have go for iPhone 6 or samsung s6! But so far, I m quite happy with this AFP, no major issue!

  • What about the battery. what happens when its broken can u just change it ?

  • Hey guys, we're fooled by the company. I don't believe this phone has the specs as written. Based on my observation, and also experience. First, the touch sucks. Especially when you have sweaty hands. It's malfunctioning even with a small trace of sweat. It will make you throw it away. I seriously prefer cherry omega hd 2.0 that i bought last year compare to this imaginary too good to be true phone. 2 GB RAM and I had more than enough lagg issues. Camera's not what you're supposed to be expecting. All in all? 1/10. Same as for plus 2. Haven't you noticed? They released alcatel flash plus for "beta" or "user's feedback" only. That's why after months of feedbacks from the users they released flash plus two. It's disappointing. Never try alcatel EVER again.

  • bad camera, specially at night, vga quality photos with all eyes lit white because of the flash, fast phone, but sadly even if the specs is good for lollipop, manufacturer have no plans for an update

  • Hi guys... I just bought this phone from Lazada. I noticed that I'm not getting LTE connection even when I'm in LTE coverage area. Already activated the LTE service from my service provider. Still couldn't get LTE connection. My service provider is using LTE band 2600 MHz and this phone supported that kind of band as mentioned in Alcatel Flash Plus spec. Please anyone help me...

  • perhaps, u can try this one by putting your 3 fingers together at the bottom end of the screen then slide it upward.. this may help you see your hidden apps!

  • perhaps, u can try this one by putting your 3 fingers together at the bottom end of the screen then slide it upward.. this may help you see your hidden apps!

  • @Clark Maybe you don't have this phone so you're telling false info's... It has great camera 13 MP dude and it is OTG capable.. Please don't tell false info's

  • Sadly i think you are right. I don't think they will update the flash plus to lollipop and us users will be stuck with kitkat. So disappointing. First, i bought the alcatel idol 2 years ago, they did not update the OS and i was stuck with jellybean until i sold the phone early this year. I was hoping things would be different this time, but i guess i was wrong, same old alcatel will leave users hanging in the air with outdated OS. Such a shame, because i really think this is a good phone. But this will be the last time i will buy an alcatel phone that's for sure.

  • If your buying this phone for its camera then you'll just be disappointed. Both front and back camera really sucks. Second, it has no OS update so you'll be stuck with kitkat for a while unless if you'll root the phone. Third, it is not otg capable. On the other hand this phone has a nice, maybe desirable display and sound quality in both the loud speaker and earpiece is good, maybe even great for a normal listener. So far, heavy gaming apps run smoothly with this phone. No lags. Overall, for an average user, it is still a great phone considering its price.

  • That I am not sure.....u go to camera setting.....n click 13mp

  • where do i buy alcatel flash?

  • At first I thought having this phone might erase my disappointment with ALCATEL, because this brand is known for abondoning their products, and my fear is right it was really true that ALCATEL did abandoned this crap,end user suffers the most, even flagships of this brand rarely have an OS update, buying this crap will leave you stuck in old fashion OS, why do this brand really always abondoning their end users, many of fools from indonesia, thailandvietnam, philippine, india still buying this junk but did not know that they were received by this company, they are still hoping that ALCATEL will give them OS update, well it seems that you hopes are long gone, ALCATEL wont give you a damn concern about your updates, ALCATEL already gained when you buy their rebranded phone from TCL, they gain you lose, as for this I swear I will not buy any of ALCATEL products evet again...And I feel sorry for those who bought this ALCATEL FLASH PLUS mostly in asian region, if I were you never patronize a brand who always abandoned their products

  • Yeah...it was abonedone by Alcatel no more OS update for this junk... It is stock on kitkat 4.4.4, no more update meaning you are stock on oldie pgone while other enjoys having new stock OS like Lollipop and Marshmallow on their device...if I were you you should buy phone which known that never abandon their rpoducts...and for the record this junk is china's local phone TCL rebranded stock with LEWA os

  • could you tell me about the "headphone music loudness/volume" like how loud is it through earphones, i am planning to buy alcatel flash 2. please tell me why i should go for flash 2 and not meizu m2.

  • Just have this phone today. Very good and impressive compare to Lenovo p70. Camera very good. System also good. Body thin and build quality also very good

  • Not yet available at SM naga alcatel both.....

  • Bought it last night....so far so go....colour bright.....sound very loud....battery ok....camera selfie ok....or maybe I am just lucky to get a good set

  • Worth it? According to the specs and price, it's definately worth it. According to the posts, both good and bad, you WILL BE testing your luck in trying to get this phone AND avoiding the other version. Myself and others caught some pretty decent luck. Got the Normal Version and as of yet, either had no problems or some problems that could be easily fixed. Others.... not so much on the luck. They got the other version. The "Insta-Broken_XL_POS10000" is the version others ended up with.

  • holy home button

  • Everything is good except the hotspot tethering, I gotta reset it all the time to make it readable to my notebook...

  • My Spotify icon is missing. And when I tried to place the apps widget, it will also gone. How ?

  • I Was thinking to buy this phone. any problem in this phone? should i buy it?? worth it??

  • I Was thinking to buy this phone. any problem in this phone? should i buy it?? worth it??

  • hye guys.. i heard about AFP n seems good. so should i buy it??

  • I have this kind of phone. Here are the things I've noticed: 1. No timer for the rear camera. 2. The phone has some lag issues. Sometimes, the whole screen just hangs. It's battery is built in so you don't have a choice but to wait until it goes back to life. 3. There are times that when you lock it, it doesn't turn on and the whole screen is still black. All you can do is wait again. 4. Playing HD videos is a major issue of this phone. It can play HD videos but it's pretty slow. 5. When you focus the camera, it takes a while before it actually captures picture after tapping the shutter. 6. Sometimes the audio does not function for apps even if I turned the media volume on. 7. Sometimes, video files won't play when it's the first time you play it. It gives you an error message - "Can't play video.". Overall, the problem I have listed for this phone is intermittent. They come and they go.

  • does your phone rooted? if yes unroot it & check updater again

  • "new version lewa_alcatel...", please click to update... i used to do that update and now my phone was disable :( i dont know how to be able my phone again huhu pls help me what should i do

  • Hi, does anyone know if afp has message filtering app? I cannot seem to receive confirmation messages from my network when I am using this phone - but can do so using other phones. Thanks!

  • Hold power button for about 10 seconds, it should restart the device

  • I have a question about the camera, my setting is "Full Screen-13MP". After I took a photo, I checked the size of this photo and it is only 1.03 MB. Shouldn't the size be much bigger for a 13MP camera? Thanks for any advice!

  • Hi all, how to force re-boot this phone in case it was hang up? I found no restart button and the battery is non-removable. thank

  • hi! i also encountered the same problem. what i did is i just got to camera settings, and there u can find the continuous shot, just click its button to disable it.. problem solved.!

  • that was also i encountered before when i first use this phone. that was really annoying. but what i did is i went to camera setting and simply disable the continuous shot. and there it is! :)

  • I did update to that version not too long ago. As of yet, no problems. There's a change log in that update you can read before trying to update it but it's an awfully short list for 1GB worth of update. You can also use the updater app to make a backup first. But if you have some other backup app that you prefer, that would be your better bet.

  • try doing this.

  • sometimes my AFP phone has a problem with its keyboard the letter "p" on the right side doesn't respond, pls help.

  • Hi, I just bought this Flash Plus phone and just received it this afternoon, after powered on, received a notification about "New version LeWa_Alcatel...", please click to update... Should I run this update as the phone is so far working fine now, not sure what will happen after updated the LeWa... Those who has experienced this, please kindly advice, cheers!

  • i just want to that this is an awesome cheap phone ever !!!

  • The front facing camera is fixed focus, not autofocus written on the description.

  • Weird indeed. But it sounds more like an update in the game caused that or a bug in the game that was always there. Did you check the reviews of that game to see if anyone else is having a similar problem?

  • I was having that same problem. I just tap the capture button quickly. Don't press and hold it. I did that waiting for the flash and any results to show up. Sure enough, 7- 10 pics was the results!!

  • If the mAh is lower on the samsung charger, or basically any charger, you'd see those longer charging times and you risk burning out that other charger. All I know of Lollipop updates is a custom ROM I spotted a while back. No idea if it works or not. Never had the chance to try it !!

  • Love my Alcatel Flash Plus that I bought from Lazada last August. One issue though - Encountered a problem playing Words with Friends. This game kept on stopping. Tried rebooting, uninstalling and reinstallling. This is an old low graphics game and this new phone can't handle it? The game worked seamlessly on Samsung S4 for more than 1 year. Is there a work around for this?

  • there is a bug in camera. keep capturing 3x to 5x. how do i fix this ? plss help.

  • i was using my samsung charger. i'll try using the AFP charger to see if it'll charge fast. also i saw something on facebook the there will be a lollipop update for AFP. i don't know the exact date but the owner itself confirms it.

  • online

  • Where do I buy cases for AFP?

  • to make a fast charging you need to set your phone first in power saver mode then plug ur charger then it make it fast more than 1 hour to fully charge your phone

  • Did you get another charger or use a different charger on your AFP? That could cause the long charging time if you didn't get / use a charger with the same mAh (by using a lower mAh charger). I haven't seen that particular charging problem on my AFP. It takes me about 2 -3 hours to fully charge from the 15% or less warning. Usually less because it almost always gives the warning while I'm right in the middle of a game!! I have seen a couple of cases where the phone owner (different phones) didn't use something for an AVR to plug into. We found out that the phone was catching multiple electrical spikes and eventually messed up the charging unit in the phone itself. The charger was fine, but the phone didn't get so lucky. Sure enough, very long charging times showed up.

  • Sounds more like you ran into something for malware along the way. That's about the only thing I can think of off hand that would do as you're describing. There's also the possibility that you might need to root your device to get rid of it IF something for a scanner or utility can't get rid of it.

  • will they ever release a lollipop update? the new flash 2 will be running on lollipop if im not mistaken. also is there a way to make the charging time fast? it always took me around 4-5 hours from 15%-full charge :(

  • Why i cannot connect to the wi-fi? It always Athentication problem. Please help

  • Hi Guys, Need help on this. I bought AFP last May 2015. At first, it functions well. But after a couple of months, the phone lags. When I connect the phone to the internet, some applications automatically install itself (i did not install the apps). I tried to uninstall those apps, but when I reboot the phone, and connect to the internet, it appears again. When I check the running apps, there is this TimeService and Monkey Test. Tried to uninstall those two but nothing happened. The apps were still there. Can somebody help me fix this.

  • Is it just me or 3rd party apps that resides in the notification bar doesn't show once you restart the phone?! My AFP is running Kitkat 4.4.4 . Any fix for this?!

  • Same here.

  • I review both phones by value of money. I expect more from a rm2000 phone than a rm500 phone. But result show no different.

  • Got mine last september 11 and this phone works good!. Camera captures fast, tried taking some photos while riding the motorcycle and the quality is still great. Although it looks grainy when you zoom it too much. Works good on game too. Just encountered a little problem with soulcraft cause it always crashes while playing. Great phone for its price. Overall rating is 8/10.

  • is the battery removable or integrated?

  • That same thing happened to me when using the front camera. The weird part was that it brightened up very quick when I switched it to video recording mode. Have you tried that and ended up with the same results? I did recently update to the latest version and it's still the same. So that didn't fix it.

  • I'm pretty sure it's yes on both questions. But you have to root it first.

  • Bought this phone from lazada indonesia, satisfied with quality of this phone, back camera is great but front camera little bit dark if using auto setting, audio with factory setting is treble dominant, when it will be upgrade to lollypop or even marshmellow?

  • I think lazada is the exclusive seller of the phone..but try to buy it in alcatel stores..

  • So you mean the front n back camera both good....better then Huawei?

  • so no update for september?

  • where i can buy this phone here in the philippines except for lazada?

  • question guys and gals: 1. are there some bloatwares in this phone and can it be uninstalled? 2. does google apps can be disabled? thanks!

  • Lenovo a7000 is the best choice

  • testing this phone now, about 2 days. Front & rear camera quality is above average for a phone below RM500. color is rich and image is sharp and less noise, im comparing the photo quality with huawei mate 7 (Gold). Sorry to say....a RM500 cheap smartphone easily win the RM2000 expensive phone. 720p screen resolution sound a little bit low for a 5.5" phone but the screen color is good enough. with 3500mah battery, thinking if it can beat the 4100mah Huawei Mate 7 with 1080p. UI obviously less smooth, lagging sometimes but acceptable. Compare with the huawei honor 3c with same rm499, i will say huawei did a good job on it. damn smooth ui. thats all for now, will update more if i found anything new.

  • That is the latest version.

  • where have you bought it? still no issue yet from day one?

  • Thanks for the feedback. One question though, what version is your software? Mine runs at version 15.08.06. Can't update it yet cause Im having a signal error here in our area

  • Place you palm with fingers together on the main/home screen and wait for several seconds you would find the all apps hidden.

  • Have you tried 1tera SD Card for this phone?

  • Thanks for the feedback. One question though, what version is your software? Mine runs at version 15.08.06. Can't update it yet cause Im having a signal error here in our area

  • is this otg ready..can i connect my flash drive directly to this cp?

  • Re speaker: test it with hifi sounds and use a different music player to rule out low quality file and player. If it's still the same, then you've blown the speaker.

  • im experiencing low quality of sound after weeks of purchased. the audio became low volume then its like a canned "basag" in tagalog kind of sound. how to fix this problem? but when using the headset, the sound is fine. anyone experiencing the same here?

  • had the same issue too but after i updated the software everything is OK now

  • Good day fellas. Just asking if anyone here like me experiences a problem with regards the galery? The pictures and albums seems to be bouncing when viewing especially when you scroll it very fast. Please tell me how to fix this problem

  • Cool. Thanks for the details. By chance did you try out other camera apps and get better features? I been brutally busy and barely got the chance to play games on my phone lately so I have to ask!!

  • I've bought this phone a couple of weeks ago, so far no issue in using the phone and everything works fine. love this phone.

  • Seems like the stock camera app doesn't have this feature. I installed Google Camera app and Geotagging works now.

  • You may use screen protector for your phone camera len. Some manufacturer include screen protector for camera lens and manufacturer claim that it enhance photo taking.

  • None removable

  • I had my AFP replaced cause the first unit I got fastly heats up, must be a factory defect. This new unit is so much better. I have a question though, how can I see the multitask for all the running apps? I tried to hold and press the menu key but it doesn't work.

  • why my afp to press key home note work to recent application..how to solve?

  • Mine works well, for 3G, 4G and Wi Fi. Good signal even on boat when I am diving as a divemaster.

  • Re : Gorilla Glass, I found that the phone doesn't use a gorilla glass because of the OGS full lamination display technology. The OGS full lamination display ( ) is One Glass Solution, this technology is used to get more thin screen and more sensitive touchscreen. The touching device is integrated to the protection glass, and there is no space between screen and protection glass (seems like you're directly touching your screen).

  • It have a weak signal

  • hi guys, does anyone have an idea about lollipop upgrade on AFP?? tnx

  • I also didn't see any geotagging. Then again, I didn't see it because I wasn't looking for it. I typically don't use such things so it wouldn't bother me. However, it might work with a better camera app. So if you get the chance to try a better camera app, kindly let us know if it works or not.

  • what type of case do you guys use for AFP? i use a crystal case but the camera lens is too exposed and gets scratched easily.

  • what case do you guys use for your AFP? i use a crystal case but the camera is very much exposed and gets scratch easily.

  • Does the geotagging feature work? I don't see any related setting on the camera and the pictures don't have any location info.

  • Yeah, that's typical of downloads that get cut off. Sorry....start over. Did you check your signal strength to see if it bounces a lot? If it does, expect a lot more of those cut offs coming at random while downloading. You're right. For something small, no big deal. Something bigger is gonna be a marathon of annoying wanting to happen!! There're lots of file managers out there. Seems the two getting the higher recommendations are Es File Explorer and Astro. See if one of those would help you with cache cleaning and deleting folders you want gone. I know ES has a cache cleaner. It's right in the description in the Play Store. I didn't look into Astro. In comparisons to an ArcMobile Nitro 401D, the battery is pretty out there nice. I know that ArcMobile phone takes quite a heavy "beating" from it's owner playing games on it all the time. All kinds of things up and running at the same time too. That battery lasts about 5 hours on that phone. In comparisons, the AFP could keep going longer. Yeah.... "big surprise" that it's my wife that owns the other phone and now wants my AFP!! XD I mentioned it before but the only thing I have seen for a Lollipop update for the AFP is a custom ROM. I spotted it while searching last month due to another post here. The site with that ROM has the instructions there to try it out. I'm still wondering if Android M would be available for this phone when it shows up?!! I also looked into the Galaxy Grand Prime before I went looking into this phone. For the life of me I can't remember what was stopping me from going after a Grand Prime but there is something seriously wrong with it imo. Seriously wrong enough to make me keep looking for a new phone and eventually found this AFP. As of yet, I been pretty happy with the AFP too!!

  • Maybe it was just my mobile data connection. i haven't tried it out on other devices. it's just that whenever my connection is cut-off and i re-connected, the app wont continue to download and i need to restart the download again. for small app its fine, but for 1g+ app this is annoying. i haven't tried video calling through skype, only on viber and line app. i haven't noticed any heating on the device. can you suggest an app for cache cleaner and can delete folders that aren't used anymore? Battery consumption really depends on how you use the phone. but 4-6hours of battery life while on mobile data and continuous gaming for me is very good imo for this phones price. as for video calling, i tried using viber and line app, and i didn't noticed any heating at all. so yeah, i guess its only the gaming that heats up the phone. I hope there will be a lollipop update for AFP. i really like the phone. its the really better than my previous samsung galaxy grand prime.

  • Never had a problem with Wi-Fi signals dropping out like that. Even clear through the rest of my house while I'm in my back yard (I tested that idea!!) and in the other direction across the street. The one thing I did notice is that app downloads only seem to be slow. Just the app download itself but no noticed slow downs / lags in downloading app data / updates / app use + game play.... things like that. But on a mobile data connection, you'd most likely see that cut off due to the timeout of the connection. You can check it in other devices (if possible) and if you get similar results / problem in other devices, it's your connection. If not, it's the phone. More often than not, it's the connection. The part that I did notice is that the signal strength I get from my SIM bounces like a ping pong ball. I have not seen it cut me off from a call but it's very noticable and it's definately something that would mess up downloads and the such. It's exactly the reason I deleted the settings so my phone could not use a mobile data connection. It's not exactly cheap using a mobile data connection here anyway. That, and my router is pretty strong so I'll stick with the Wi-Fi!! I play off and on each day on my AFP for hours on end. Yeah, it is the gaming that heats it up. But the battery lasts me at least 1 day. I was on video call in skype with it for about 3 hours during one day last month when I got this phone and didn't notice any heat up. Spent several hours in facebook chatting with multiple people and also didn't notice any such heat up. Are you also getting similar results? I tried Summoners War. I just left it in the internal storage. Cool game!!

  • AFP has Dragontrail Glass protection which i think is just as good or even better than corning gorilla.. but i'm not sure because i'm not expert on this kind of thing. If you have some time, you can check the link below about the description of Dragontrail Glass. You can also search and compare the two.. :D

  • Excellent budget smartphone, better than the Lenovo A 7000. I like the 13 MP and the 8 MP camera, good longlasting battery, and the music player works well with the in the ear type earphone. No gorrila glass protection is the one and only minus thing that I find in this phone.

  • hello again. with regards to my previous problem in which i need to re download the additional data for summoners war, i figured i can copy its game file in the android folder form internal storage to SD Card. the result, i don't need to download the data again.. i have another concern, i noticed whenever i'm downloading an APP at play store then suddenly my signal dropped, it shows in the notification page saying waiting for network to retry or something like that. but when i re-established my connection, the download wont continue. is this only me or have you also experienced it too? i have experienced occasional heating while i'm playing but it doesn't last long. i just rest the phone for 3-5 minutes and its good again. the battery was great. i usually play either using night mode with full brightness or normal mode with 20-40% brightness. my mobile data is always on almost 24/7. With continuous gaming my battery last for about 5-6 hours, sometimes almost 7 hours.

  • I also don't know, yet, if the RAM extender(s) will work or not. I'm going to find out later today. I was just watching the youtube videos about it. Seems like a good idea.... yeah, "seems" being the key word here!! For rooting..... There're many ways to do it and dozens of sites that have the instructions to root and un-root Android mobiles. The rooting methods via an app are also very possible and just as easy as the methods via PC. No PC needed when using an app. There're programs / apps such as Kingroot and iRoot. All too easy. I'm using an older version of iRoot.... done deal in mere minutes. These and others are freeware so you didn't have to buy anything. They'll install some needed apps in chinese during the rooting process (or some other language) but so far, that has not been any problem. Just try not to install the other apps from those things. I'll also give the same warning as you'd find everywhere when rooting. Rooting WILL void your warranty. Use it at your own risk. Do note, rooting tools don't always work 100% of the time. Case in point, I have a tablet which was discovered as rooted. Whoever rooted that tablet did it wrong. So there are several apps that won't work properly on it. As of yet, I can't un-root it in an attempt to fix it. It was a " cheap little junker" tablet but I'd rather not have seen that happen.

  • In many mobile phones, one of the most common performance choke points is the quality of expansion memory card. It means if someone is complaining about "lags" in movies, games and specially viewing galleries, it could be that they have a class 4 or cheap class10 mmc. This is the reason why some high end mobile phones have none expandable memory.

  • What do you mean auto-correct? is that some sort of dictionary when it comes to typing messages or is it some sort of application?

  • So it's still possible to expand the RAM using SD card? actually i didn't know that one. If you happen to have some free time would you kindly give me some information on how to do that. and also rooting smartphones is one of the skills that i didn't possess. but based on what i heard and what i've read on blogs, it's pretty handy when it comes to removing bloatware and even customizing your phone. Kind of envious since i'm not skilled like you. haha. buy the way thanks again :D . Now im planning to buy AFP :D :D :D

  • Yes I am using the AFP. I got mine August 15, 2015. I bought this one considering the specs and the price. That, and after 5+ years, I figured it was time for a new phone!! XD As rrj and others were pointing out, you're going to get a variety of experiences with this phone. Some had better luck with it, others.... not so much. I have not seen lags caused by this phone. Then again, I'm more than likely doing different things in comparisons so I wouldn't see some of those lags. I had a one time problem with the sound where it went very low. I could barely hear anything at the time. I tried to fix it with the "engineering menu" from a code I found. That didn't work. I decided to try a simple reboot. That worked!! The sound came back loud as could be. No repeat problem as of yet. I tried to see if I could re-create some of the problems that were mentioned here. One of which was about the music going haywire when using the messaging.... or something like that. That one and others I tried did not show up for me. Come to think of it, differences in any apps used and how things are used could be why. For a while I thought the AFP was giving me some problem with Magic Rush Heroes. Nope, it was the game update. Apparently the developers of that game are not so great at updates all the time. They do "OK" but not every time. But that particular game update lagged everyone. The auto correct went screwy on me a couple of times but that was easily fixed as described (re-type it). It's fixed even easier when you get a better messaging app. The stock app, as mentioned before, is only 2 puny lines. NOT COOL for someone with bigger fingers. Basically, anyone over the age of 12!! I gotta take some time to find that auto corrupt and shut that less than worthless piece of space trash off!! Had a lot of fun with the voice to text. That got to the point where others were asking me "how do you type so fast on the AFP?" !! Truth is, that stuff is already in many mobile devices. But those with an accent are typically going to hate it completely !! I tried the cameras on skype and taking pictures. Those worked out better than hoped for. Of course, I'd most likely get even better results with a better camera app in comparison to the stock app. I've seen that happen on quite a number of devices. The AFP does heat up a lot. The main cause being game playing in my case. It's what I do the most on mobile devices (as you may have guessed!!). But if it's in the direct path of a fan, it doesn't heat up so badly. Otherwise, I hold it to my air con for about 15 seconds or less and it's back to cold again. Or just stop playing on it for about 2-3 minutes. Back to normal again. The battery has been rocking ON!! I do wish it was removable. The games I play have been flying. Unless of course a game update chokes again!! The AFP wasn't so easy to get. It's odd considering the specs on it and the price. Anyone would think that Alcatel would make it much more available. Oh well !! The updates are apparently not so fun. So I didn't try that yet. But I'm guessing the latest update seems to be working. I was also considering things when it came to that 2GB of RAM. It's pretty good for most things but when you have apps that are constanly running, that 2GB won't last long. So you either have to clear it with the built in RAM cleaner / task killer (press and hold the Home button for a few seconds) or attempt expanding the RAM using the SD card. But lazy me didn't get a SD card for it yet!! As someone else pointed out, don't bother with task killer apps on this phone. My first guess is that idea didn't work so well for the person that mentioned it.... so don't press my luck with that stuff!! I have a lot of things installed but none of them are left constantly running. Either way, I still wanna try that RAM extender when I get a SD card one of these days!! Rooting it was all too easy. I had to root it so Titanium Backup would work and I could transfer my games (data and all) from other devices to the AFP. If I needed to un-root it, I'm pretty sure that would take the same effort as rooting it. Which wasn't much!! Some of the games I've been playing on the AFP need some quick fingers and a very responsive screen. No problems there. The part I didn't like was that it doesn't fit in my pocket like my previous phone. So I nick named this one a "mini tablet"!! All in all, still a pretty cool phone so far.

  • Cons -Sometimes there are lags while you are browsing the gallery. There are also times when there are no lags. -low light prob -typing online "auto-correct's" in a wrong manner if you erase and rewrite, but the is a temporary solution to this -2gb ram is not sufficient if you install many apps. I only installed 10 medium-sized apps and my remaining ram is 750+

  • I haven't used or even seen the Lenovo phone in action. But in using the Compare button, you'd see the differences in both. And then check the posts for the Lenovo phone and see what all else others are running smack into and/or are enjoying. From what I saw (quickly).... There're multiple complaints about the cameras on the Lenovo being not so great. The Lenovo phone has a better battery (better mAh and Li-Po instead of Li-Ion). Both are NON-removable. You won't really notice a speed difference between the two at only 200MHz difference. The Levono costs more. Then again, it's availability over the AFP might make someone not care THAT much about the price. Lenovo seems to be better at Android updates. Possibly at updates in general. The AFP has better speakers. According to posts, louder too. The AFP has a half an inch bigger screen size. So those with "bigger" fingers would like that better. Both have complaints about them heating up a lot. Then again, you're holding an octa core phone in your hand.... go figure!! XD As said so many times....It may be called a "laptop" but don't place it directly on your lap!! Same idea, smaller device.

  • Hi dear folks! just asking if this Alcatel Flash Plus is at least on par or way better than Lenovo P70. Your shared experience means a lot! Have a good day

  • hello....so boring explanation..do it in simple way..

  • There are other phones out there with very similar specs and a 4.7" - 5" screen size. Some examples would be the Samsung Galaxy Alpha and the Lenovo Vibe Shot. They both have very similar specs but a "lesser" battery. Not sure if a "lesser" battery would bother you. But at least there are others!!

  • Hi you Might be using another messaging app (go SMS, etc).. This happened to me as well its either you use the original msging app deactivate the new one one or just use the new one. Which is a good thing because you wouldn't be dealing with 2 notifications at a time

  • Hi, Can someone help me regarding my inbox messaging? Whenever I replied on a recipient contacts with their text messages, the message input field where you can type to reply was disabled and it was labeled not in english language. Thanks!

  • I think I got it now..the "launch app" in settings did launch the app.. But for those who still can't find the MISSING ICONS for the apps what I did was to access the HOME SETTINGS through the menu and RESET LAUNCHER.. It will reset how the screen looks like before.. It did not erase anything at all just reset how the icons were arranged in you screen. I have all the apps available now and just have it rearranged..thanks again though.. A lot helpful tips from you.

  • Thank you..though I have them reinstalled and still can't find the icons really bothered because it might happen again

  • No problem!! Yeah, that's how it's supposed to work IF that option is there. Not every device has it. An "out of the box" AFP didn't. Mine didn't anyway (internal storage only on mine so far). I only have the 1 option and didn't manage to get a SD card for my AFP as of yet (lazy me!!) to try out any other possible option. With your Summoners War (I gotta try that game when I have time!!) it's that same type of problem as I was saying before where the "mover" apps have a problem trying to use SD cards. So yeah, it would look like a bug but it's really not. The most likely case is that you'll see that problem at random for any given app / game. But for the pic files you either take or download, that should work fine when the SD card is set to the default download / install location. For pics, there's a bit more to it..... The stock camera app didn't show me any option to store pics/videos I take on the SD card. Could be just me not having a SD card yet. Then again, I have seen that option not there in other devices WITH a SD card. Also, there are several ways pics can be downloaded. So the controlling app (browser(s), skype, game graphics / ads, camera app(s), etc) would be the setting source for where they go. Your main setting says SD card by default. The controlling app in question says to internal storage.... the controlling app usually wins. By the sound of it, Summoners War is still saying internal storage for downloading and installing. When it does that and the rest of the game isn't there as expected (it's on the SD card), there's the problem. That additional data would also include the graphics. Unfortunately, you won't have much of anything for real control of the download location for games that are set like that. Off hand, you only have one way to find out if your other apps/ games are going to work or not when install to the SD card is the default. Good luck!! XD Again, I will mention the problem when a SD card goes "bye bye" for whatever reason. That's very effective at making your apps, pics, and etc go with it. A large majority of my previous phone stops working all together if I take the memory card out of it. That memory card has not come out in 5+ years!! But the phone still works fine!! hahahahaha 4GB left? "Download happy" much?!! hahahahaha Take your pics / videos and dump them to a PC (backups) or something to free up some space. I know that one has a "thanks captain obvious" coming to me but you'd be amazed at how many overlook that one!!

  • The problem with all smartphones nowadays is the size. I am not a fan of a massive screen smartphones bcos I have small hands & I could easily drop these expensive gadgets in no time! I wish there is a similar version of this Alcatel Flash Plus in a 4.7 inch screen size.

  • Thanks for the reply Big Game addict.. The option on the Storage section where we can use SD card as a default write disk means that if i ticked it the games i download or pictures i take will automatically be send to my SD card? i once tried this but for some reason when i play Summoners War, it needs to re-download all the additional data. i then switch back to internal memory and it works fine, no need to download additional data. i don't know if its just a bug or not cause i didn't try opening other games. since then i haven,t ticked it again. can you help me on this one? i only have 4gb left on my internal memory as of now. Thanks in advance

  • Before, they said it will be released on physical stores at mid august but still it's not available on any outlet, it's already September :( When can this be released on physical stores ?

  • You might have to re-install your games. The Play Store has the chance to make it "quick n painless" IF the games are really still installed. That "should" just put the icons back for you to re-group them and not change much of anything else. You can try to run them to see if they really are still installed from Settings / Apps.... there's a "Launch App" button in there (or at least there should be one!!).

  • I bought this unit quite a week or two. I just getting worried if my unit is damaged or what, Well to tell you guys the truth its sicked charging time ranges from 4-5 hours. Not to mention it has 3.5k lit batt. anyone experiencing the same concern?

  • The camera is quite good. Especially the rear one.

  • Dear friends This phone beautiful but this set kannad , telugu, tamil language is supporting plz tell me hoe to update this set

  • MISSING APPS...I had this phone for a month now and it was working fine just until this morning that i cant find my games folder with all the games I downloaded from play store. Tried to check it in play store since I might have uninstalled them mistakenly but it says it is still installed but really can't find the entire folder I hope some one can help..

  • @ Noypi Thanks for the vote. How do I send you details so you can ask me something via FB as you mentioned?? I didn't get an account here!! Either way, I don't mind sharing info like I been doing to others that simply ask IF I happen to know. Or you can simply keep asking here like you and others have been doing. No big deal for me. With any luck, someone else with better info than what I have would also do the lot of us a "solid" and share it. But as it turns out, I'm biased towards this phone because it has been working out great so far for me. So I just decided to share what all happened to me just the same as others did. You and others are posting biased info because something not so great happened to you (according to your posts.... NOT some poke or joke towards you / others). Next thing I know, people just kept on asking. Ok....So I kept on posting!! hahahahaha I happen to be an article and game guide writer with quite a tech background. NO, this is NOT some paying gig for me here. Again, I was just sharing what all happen to me with this phone. But as a result, things tend to get lengthy and rather detailed!! I'll never claim to "know it all" but I do know a thing or 6 here and there to be able to get by!! That usually works!! XD

  • seems that you know a lot. can i find you on FB so i can ask you stuff about my phone. hehehe. but seriously.

  • @Big Game Addict Yeah! like watever! does it matter if i ask these questions before i ask myself? i was like gathering some info for those people who already got these phones..so nega

  • @ pLyx You're mostly right. There WAS an option for moving things. But that only worked on some devices. It depended on the device having 2 storages (phone and internal). The apps would be sent to the opposite of the default install location and not a SD card at all. The AFP doesn't have the 2 storages. IF I remember correctly, there was some sorta stop to moving apps to SD cards. I can't even remember why or when!! But that IS the reason why many "mover" apps don't work properly (as seen in the Reviews section of the Play Store for so many "mover" apps) or at all on so many different devices. Previously, on a Galaxy Mini (Android 2.2), I was using App2SD Pro and it worked great. But with something like that, I have no idea if it would work on anything these days like it did on that phone. The downside to "mover" apps is that if the memory card fails or goes "vanishing act" (we ALL know "vanishing acts" can happen), your apps go with it. @ Putongbangus AND pLyx Try YAATA. I just tried it, literally just now, and the edit area grows (to a certain extent) with the message being created instead of 2 puny lines. It's got a lot of features, some included, some you have to pay for IF you want them. But sure enough, it's got the bigger/growing text editing area. It's still no comparison to the messaging edit area of something like the stock Froyo messaging app, but it's working nicely so far. Tried it with voice to text and had no problems. Then again, I have no accent that can be easily detected. That always helps!! YAATA seems to have problems with MMS. But since I don't use or care about MMS, that was no bother for me. Unfortunately, not everyone can say the same so you might want to try another messaging app if that's going to be a problem for you. Just don't forget to set any messaging app you try as the default first. YAATA displays the option to set it as the default during the first run of it and stays there until you do set it as the default (one tap done). Ok, that makes changing the default vastly quicker and easier!!

  • hope you could help me .. my afp battery drains so fast i left it 100% at home after 9hrs at work it is already 85% ..

  • Where do I buy this phone ??!! I been searching n no luck. Can someone send me a link pls

  • @ BobP If anything, you'd have to get an app that can work with the SD card. Not much of any app can do that properly is the bad news. So you'll have some searching and testing to do. The good news is that USER files can be moved quite easily in a variety of ways. @ Putongbangus You can try other messaging apps. I also don't overly appreciate that 2 puny lines setup for messaging. I just didn't get the chance to try out other messaging apps as of yet!! So it looks like both of us are on the search for a new messaging app that isn't so puny!! XD I did look into some other messaging apps but there were no signs (in the pics / videos) of the message window growing with the message instead of scrolling. That's the problem with the search. Sure, they ALL advertise how great their messaging app is, but completely overlooked this simple detail so far. @ Crimson08 I've had no problems with the camera quality on both sides of it. The front cam worked out nicely when I tried it in Skype. You'd most likely want to install a camera app to have some better fun with it (more features). You still have the concerns of lighting conditions and shakey hands. Otherwise, the cams worked out very nicely for me. This phone is using the RLS speaker system (Really Loud Sound). I have the speaker face down on my table and can hear it clear across the next room over (that's no puny distance mind you)!! I was only using the standard music player. So a music player app with a better equalizer should give better sound quality. No problems on the sound quality on calls / video calls other that typical things (poor signals and the such). @ Kirara xD Always the first question......Which one can you WILLINGLY afford? NO, that's not a joke towards your wallet.... it's something you REALLY should ask yourself FIRST. Right after you answer that question.... Which one are you convinced has better specs to suit YOU? Last question..... Which one is readily available to you? I don't know about the availability of the MI 4. I DO know the AFP can get a bit tricky on the timing to get one. It has been that way so far. Once you answer these questions (NO, don't post the answers!! No need for that!! ), there ya go!! The ^questions explained (just in case anyone is wondering): No point in missing a diner or 6 just to have a "fancy pants" phone. You can always save money for the other phone IF you like the other phone's specs better. No point in going after a phone that might not be there. You'd be amazed sometimes. This has happened to me on several dozen occasions. I could swing the money for it. I LIKED the specs...... oops.... the phone in question is no where to be found. This usually results in a LOT of swearing, cursing, screaming, and various objects being "aerodynamics tested"!! XD

  • i was having the same problem too. there was an option in storage in where you can set default write disk between internal and SD storage. i havent tried it yet though.

  • can you suggest what messaging app should i use? i was using Handset SMS on my samsung device but on AFP i cant set as my default messaging app, i dont like go pro sms btw xD.

  • How can i move apps to SD? i think AFP does not support AppMgrIII. is there any other app i can use? Also what are the pros and cons of the new update for AFP. i just got my unit yesterday. thanks for the reply in advance.

  • How can i move apps to SD? i think AFP does not support AppMgrIII. is there any other app i can use? Also what are the pros and cons of the new update for AFP. i just got my unit yesterday. thanks for the reply in advance.

  • what should i pik, this AFP or xiaomi MI 4

  • i love this phone so bad.

  • Is the camera quality good, specially the 8mp Front Cam?? How about the sound quality?

  • hahahh funny. of course it has to be 100%. how long is refering to the length of hours you take charging the phone. and kevin to answer your question, initial charging is 6 hrs regardless phone has reached 100% based on my experience and some people's

  • nonsense

  • My last comment is for Kevin 08/25/2015. I accidentally clicked his neighbor's reply's icon hehehe. Btw friend, anyone know how to adjust message window? Its only 2 liner and I hardly compose messages. In my other phone, Huawei 4x - it adjust depending how many words or sentences you have....please help

  • The initial charging is full 100%. For next charges and so on, charge it when it is 40% low and stop charging when it reaches 80%. Charge it 100% once a month. This is the proper care of Lithium Ion Battery. However, if you have to go outside like out of town, appointment, ride in a bus - make it full charge. There is no law prohibiting to charge your phone only to 80% full hehehe.

  • The phone is ok nothing to complain about, but i feel Alcatel can do better, the cellphone field is tuff out there

  • bought this phone from online, didnt expect much from it.. but was recommended by my friends. phone seems alright for the price point. cant complain more

  • Awesome performance should be suitable for lollipop update, after updating latest firmware everything goes better, wearing nilkin frosted shield case the phone looks better now, im very satisfied with this phone when internet connected browsing are great, all basic need from smartphone are here everything works well .. Love this phone especially when look at the price to be honest this phone goes beyond my expectation when you look at the price so so cheapp

  • Thanks for the update! what are the changes that you have observed?

  • how long should be its initial charging? thanks

  • The update is pretty stable on my AFP already update it yesterday and now it still pretty smooth, i didn't notice any lags

  • How do I transfer files or apps from internal/phone storage to the external SD card? I noticed there is no "move to SD card" option in App Manager.

  • really there will be a lollipop update? says who? do you have a link?

  • This is ovbiously a Troll comment GSMArena, kindly check your own Posting Rules :3 and there will be a Lollipop Update on Alcatel Flash Plus. Bow :p #InsecurePaMore

  • if only i can photocomment the samples of both phones. the front cam of Idol is a joke though but the rear cam works better

  • the look of 4C is the reason i chose AFP over the former

  • got my AFP two weeks ago and i really like the phone but one thing i have found out after a couple of days the speaker of my phone became so choppy and seems the voice will not be heard during the conversation but if i put on loudspeaker there is no problem at all..so, i returned it to Lazada and hopefully the replacement will arrive soon...so far..the phone is amazing performance as well the price...its worth the price!

  • Hi Guys thank's for all the updates on how the phone is performing. To all PINOYs using the device I just want to ask how is the CALLS and DATA RECEPTION doing since it only has 2 bands on HSPA. Im worried because what i've noticed is that other phones with 4bands or more does well in regards to reception, and sadly phone with just 2 bands like 900/2100 on HSPA aint really working well. For example I had no issues with using the GS4 and the Xperia C3 with SMART's 3g. but when using a LEnovo A859 its useless and the AFP's band is similar to the A859.. so any IDEA on how the DATA and call reception is? or will it just be poor like the lenovo? I'm really looking forward to getting this phone as an EVERYDAY handset so please help me out

  • hello wew, yeah I can play NBA2K15 with my Flash plus, but got some issue with sounds, the sounds is like came from inside the can of sardines.

  • If you're not concerned with call quality,and heating issues while not in use, 4C is a winner specially in the looks department.

  • Sad news to flash plus users...Android M is about to release anytime soon, yet this phone havent progress even Android L... In some country there are many who is hoping it could receive next OS update...but it seems Alcatel does not care for their End User..theyre just after for their profit...it is true theyre always abondoning their end user..as for report they are not going to develop an update for Android L a sad news for Flash Plus user which will make their Flash Plus Obsolete in a year or two...people are patronizing their products yet this brand does not care for those who bought their products...what a shame...next time try to boycott this Brand who always abandoned their end user..other brand such as samsung, sony even lenovo try to develop OS to compete the current competition... Imagine Lenovo's K3 Note which release almost the same with Alcatel Flash Plus, K3 Note is about to release Android M as soon as OS is available...soon their will be no Alcatel patron since they are always leaving them empty handed...so guys please boycott this brand since they don't care for you...don't support for their product in the near future as will experience the same fate Flash Plus experienced..go for a brand which let their user enjoy the current trendtrend..

  • I leave alcatel Alcatel flash plus Nobel bomber need

  • Alcatel flash plus Model nomer

  • lol that is just not true. i had an alcatel one touch idol and no way it takes better picture than the flash plus. rear cam is better and front cam of afp is way better than idol.

  • Got my phone this week. Does anyone have the problem using Google Play? I can't use it in my home wifi. It says "Connection Timed Out". The other devices here connected to our wifi works. When I try to use ourr pocket wifi, it works. Does anyone know how to fix it?

  • here's another. my alcatel onetouch idol's 8mp rear cam captures better esp in low light con compared to this 13mp cam. and what it looks large speaker at the back is a lie. slowly cover the speaker from right to left and you notice a only a small portion gets sound interfered. more to come. BTW, gotten my phone rooted easily. batt juice is incredible

  • @ Anonymous I tore out the mobile data thingies to completely disable that after shutting off the settings. The signal was bouncing like a ping pong ball anyway. That's a great way to get really upset with it. I'm using a new 3G Smart Buddy SIM. Maybe you'd have better luck with it on Globe or something else? I was considering a Globe LTE SIM for this phone but I already have one in a pocket WiFi device as my backup connection. So no real need. WiFi seems pretty stable and quick for most things even at range on the AGING router I have. The only slow part SEEMS to be when downloading apps/games. Not sure why. Otherwise the WiFi is quick as could be. @ wew With the hardware this phone is packing, it should be able to run just about anything Android you throw at it. Now would be a good time to start hoping you don't end up with the special model... the "Insta-Broken9000POS" when you get one!! @ rrj I'm also waiting for others to post details about that 15.08.06 update. Considring the horror show the previous update provided, I'm not too keen on attempting any updates!! You can try that custom Lollipop ROM that I mentioned before. Other comments here and other sources were saying there won't be any other Lollipop update for the AFP. But at least there's something resembling a chance at it. Rooting it was all too easy. But if the warranty IS a concern for you, just skip it. I rooted it so Titanium Backup would work and I could transfer games / apps + data to this (my new) phone. I have tons of stuff on my previous (and still working really well :-) ) 5+ year old Galaxy Mini phone. Trying to start over from scratch with even half the stuff I installed on my previous phone would have been a horror story all its own.

  • After using this phone for a week, here are my reviews: -LOTS OF BUILT-IN USELESS APPS. It needs to be rooted in case you want to uninstall them -smooth -Loooooong battery juice life 1-2 days -Very LIGHT to carry -total internal memory capacity is 11.69gb -boring UI, ive downloaded a launcher to solve this prob -customization is limited compared to other phones -the protruding rear camera must be in safety always to avoid scratches on the lens -in my opinion, it's true that it has a layer of Dragontrail glass -NO visitor/guest mode -good for watching 720p movies -1080p pic quality TIPS: -DONT INSTALL MANY APPS TO SAVE RAM. Especially large ram eaters -Always clean ram to avoid lagging -dont update OS immediately. Wait for other reviews -i havent tried to root it yet. Warranty may be void. -Provide yourself with an Sd card, 11.69gb is not large enough to phones like this CONCLUSION: Phone is good enough for it's price and the quality is higher than its local competitors. Customizations are only few so you need apps. Hopefully a lollipop update will be available soon to fix this issue. Always remember that it is a cheap phone so you need to take good care of it so that it will not be damaged and still work properly after a few months and years

  • Can anyone share their experience to the update 15.08.06 pls

  • hey sir big game! ONE LAST QUESTION? can i play NBA2k15 with this? even in black market? and can be play smoothly? thank you so much!

  • sorry i search on google and i find some so so easy way! thanks for the comment gonna buy this when its available in lazada!

  • if you have time can you teach me how? maybe a site or just a few tips for me? lack of knowledge with rooting and custom roms...

  • How about the cignal? or if you are using the mobile data of this phone, it is good ? Thanks...

  • @ CauldyClark15 No problems at all with the screen sensitivity. As of yet, I have not seen any such a need to tap harder on anything. Everything I have done so far on the AFP has worked without a problem. @ Noypi Sounds like you got the really specialy one. Brand = Alcatel Model = Insta-Broken9000POS You should send it back and get it replaced. @ wew I have seen some offerings for updating to lollipop. I went looking into it the other day and did find some custom ROMs for it. Complete tutorials and the whole bit.

  • can be update to lollipop?

  • I got one today from Lazada and is SHITTY. Quality goes with its price. Tsk tsk. Still have to check more. Shits experienced are Laggy at times. Going back to the main screen from an App using home key will keep the music playing until few seconds. Music continues to play(on an earphones ) when using the camera but closing the camera also stops the music but if you check, you see its time still running and still on Play mode. Pausing and replaying don't work. I needed to remove earphone play it on speaker and replug earphones to continue playing. Typing vibrates at the same time then all of a sudden it will stop. Hope to notice more glitCH and I will smash this piece of Garbage.

  • thanks for the review mate, just want to ask about screen sensitivity. is it okay?.. i mean is there any instance you need to tap harder the letters?.. thanks again in advance

  • This one seems a bit tricky to get. The timing has to be really well done OR you're going to have to wait more. I clicked the Notify Me thingie in Lazada for this phone and filled in my email address. The next day or 2 later, they sent me a message saying it's available. But when I checked, of course it wasn't. Way to screw that one up Lazada. So I sent them an email about it. They replied saying it was going to be available on the site on the August 14 at 12nn. So around 12:30pm, I checked it. Sure enough, I ordered it and yada yada.... a ZERO day delivery time message was sent to me. I ordered the AFP on August 14. Got it on August 15. Ok, Lazada certainly got THAT part right !! hahahaha Previous orders took up to 3 days. NOT this time!! Took them a while and several phone calls from the delivery guyS. But yeah, they found me!! Total price = P6,490. But when I checked Lazada again just a while ago, it was out of stock again. Well, that didn't take long!! So Far........... Pros: 1) Man o man this little sucker is QUICK!! 2) Battery doesn't give up easy. Even for a gamer like me. 3) Rooted all too easily. I used an older version of iRoot. Completely done deal in about 1-2 mins (inlcuding the reboot)..... after the downloading (drivers and the such) iRoot needed. 4) It's LOUD. That comes in handy!! 5) Good screen size for someone with "partially" bigger fingers. The smaller screen sizes can be a pain in the [insert body part here]!! 6) Everything is running great so far. Not a single problem with it. 7) Been having a LOT of fun with the voice to text. Cons: 1) Not too interested in attempting ANY updates as of yet thanks largely to the previous comments. I have no idea which update I currently have!! So if anyone wants to share a way to find out... Thanks!! All I see is an update labelled "15.08.06" which seems to be NOT the update that's been posted/complained about. 2) Seems to heat up a bit when playing games. On the upside, it doesn't take long at all for it to cool off again. 3) For some unknown reason, all sounds went really quiet for several hours the other day. Not entirely sure what all happened but after a reboot, they went back to normal (and loud). No problems with it since. 4) Ended up losing my SIM due to my attempt at converting a mini SIM to micro. Wow, that was a bad idea to try!! hehehehe Just note.... that was MY bad. Not something to blame on alcatel. Just saying!! I REALLY wish it had the mini SIM slot(s)!! hehehehe 5) No idea if this thing would be able to GET Android M considering the lack of 5.0 (according to previous posts). 6) Not sure if it's just me or if this phone really has something wrong with the Wi-Fi in it. It'll connect pretty fast and all but it's when I'm downloading games from the Play Store only. That seems to take a lot longer compared to other devices I have. 7) It was loaded up with a lot of other apps and the such that I don't care about. So far they're not getting in the way or anything so they can stay for now. All in all..... I would definately recommend this phone. Just be sure on your timing when you attempt to get it from Lazada. And do watch the comments and check everything possible before attempting updates.

  • In India, the same spec released by different manufacturer -- Panasonic....

  • why is my afp screen not that responsive as compared to my previous fone zenfone2. are your keyboard responsive? sometimes i have to press medium hard just to text.

  • What is the latest version of Alcatel Flash PLus? 15.05.13?

  • i like gold but ended up getting Slate since that's what left. anyhow, team slate. lol

  • how's battery life and CAmera???

  • I ordered APS in Lazada last friday and it came on Sunday. I find the phone fast, but it heats up. First time when I opened it and after a day. It seems ok after i cleaned all the open apps and downloded Clean Master. Is this normal, from all the open apps? Or shall I be worried and ask for a replacement? Thank you!

  • Got this phone now and it really amazing the nice performance and durability..two thumbs up!

  • yeah me too

  • this was available at lazada the day after your opinion was posted here. I ordered one and still waiting

  • For me AFP is far way better than S90.

  • Mine too.

  • battery??

  • I downloaded and installed it successfully.after downloading,it asked me whether to go ahead and restart to install the update. After,it felt fast and not laggy... It was fine for two days... But now, it feels laggy and slow again. But it is better than the previous one.

  • Okay so a new update came out w/ 1,099mb size unfortunately it doesn't work once it's done downloading the file. Tried it twice but no luck... Any1 who can help?

  • panasonic eluga icon has the same specs so ite rebranded alcatel flash plus?

  • got the fone today, i cant log in to play store. somebody help

  • tried to update to new version (0.99GB) but update failed. anyone else had luck?

  • I'd been using honor 4C and it's quite impressive. With it's iphone like UI and elegant design (GOLD) i'm amazed. Thumbs up to huawei 4c.

  • I agree

  • Good choice my friend. Although the igzo display in the m2 was spectacular considering the price point, the let down for me was the optoinal sim or sd slot. The lenovo's dolby atmos was also temping but some reviewers said it lacks in volume when using built-in speakers. I want the sound to be clear and loud when watching youtube videos on my phone, like in the afp. So good choice overall!

  • hi! is this dual micro sim?

  • which better and good . alcatel flash plus or lenovo S90 sisley ? i need your opinion tnx asap.

  • you have no idea what you're talking about. Dragontrail and OGS are two different things. OGS is the way they bond the screen to the glass "cover" resulting in overall display quality and is not related whatsoever to the scratch resistance (in this case there's no space between the screen and the glass, that's why it's called One Glass Solution). it's entirely possible to have an OGS display with dragontrail glass.

  • Alcatel Flash Plus or Huawei Honor 4C - which is better?

  • The Alcatel Flash Plus uses a fully laminated OGS panel for its screen. This makes icons appear closer to the touch and the entire screen more responsive. A layer of scratch resistant DragonTrail Glass also protects the display.

  • the latest fix seems good..the phone became responsive. no more lags

  • Planning to buy these, but still waiting for the availability of the unit. It's always sold out thru Lazada.

  • ok. so they released a new update for the flash plus. the size is 1gb but after downloading the update i dont see any changes. what's with the latest update?

  • I see several annoying false informations in this comment section. 1. Alcatel Flash Plus' screen is NOT Dragontail!!! It's OGS. 2. OGS is NOT scratch-resistant like Dragontail and Gorilla Glass. See Wikipedia ffs. 3. Dragontail technology is SIMILAR to Gorilla Glass. It's NOT worse NOR better.

  • This phone is officially rebranded as Panasonic Eluga Icon as of today. Please take note.

  • Smart Move it is!

  • Alcatel Flash plus my friend! :)

  • My AFP battery level drains faster than i expected.

  • Please tell me how about your experience with battery life... Pls

  • yes, the freezing is because of the update. it happens when you are multitasking. this is not a problem before.what i do to avoid this freezing while playing heavy games like mortal kombat is to close an app that consumes a lot of ram like facebook or browser. no freezing. but it's disappointing because i don't have to do this before the update.

  • yes, the freezing is because of the update. it happens when you are multitasking. this is not a problem before.what i do to avoid this freezing while playing heavy games like mortal kombat is to close an app that consumes a lot of ram like facebook or browser. no freezing. but it's disappointing because i don't have to do this before the update.

  • AFP

  • other said the display is made of dragrontrail glass almost the same as gorilla glass but there is no proof about this maybe its just ordinary LCD

  • well i got this phone while comparing this to lenovo a7000 and meizu m2 note, why i went for this was because of the battery life and dual sim support and brand name itself vs dolby atmos of lenovo a7000 and vs meizu m2 note IGZO display, well over all i was considering meizu m2 note but wel i hate the way it looks ~ it looks like plastic and read reviews and overall customers who bought the alcatel flash plus stands out and are very happy. when i used it and set the phone yup it was great but the games are sometimes freezing at some point idk if it is performance issues after the update. but yup i will post more things to consider while im still new too this phone i think i need sometime to really bash the comments for this well one thing i like was it did run the apps i downloaded from the black market that was not runnable in kitkat versions. please comment on this so we can collaborate on the subject if ever ;). to sum it up alcatel is a great brand it has been on this mobile industry far longer than lenovo and meizu and that alone was a big consideration when i bought this product not to mention that alcatel was my first brand of mobile phone that i ever did use. kudos to alcatel and hope you can create more products such as this to really compete in the mobile phone market industry. thank you for letting me vent out, well nothing to do, so better speak out my mind on it ;) see ya!

  • one of two best phoe i've ever buy... very wonderful performance with very low price

  • i would prefer Android. hey have every app in play store, and you can sync every data you've got if you lose your phone

  • which is better? windows phone? or android? pls help

  • which is better this AFP or meizu m2 note? pls. help im planning to buy..

  • dont expect for android lollipop 5.0 upgrade for this phone. alcatel itself claimed that they will not implement an update for android lollipop 5.0 for this phone.

  • I just got this phone in Lazada, flash sale

  • what country r u from?

  • have u tried updating its latest firmware update? hows the result?

  • 3500 ? nc :) created for gamers :D

  • the phone was good, the performance were amazing, its battery could last for almost 2 days.. my only concern is that sometimes its loggie even thou the internal memory were almost 9gb does it a bad thing? or do I need to gave it back to lazada and made some replacements, or I just stick to this phone which I already have. thank you for your comments and opinions... :)

  • performance and camera is good. but poor signal. only kitkat version not lollipop. not gorilla glass. not li-po battery. just buy asus zenfone 2 ze551ml.

  • I Want To Buy This Phone, What Is The Actual Price In Dubai, (UAE).

  • Yeah me too. The positive thing about the update is they now have english UK language. So my path app now showing celsius instead Fahrenhei .

  • same to me

  • i like this phone where can i buy?

  • Im having problem with the google maps app., it says that i have to reinstall it before i can use it. But there's no unistall option on the apps list. Does anybody experience what i have experienced with this app? Can anybody help me out here? Thanks

  • I'm planning of buying Alcatel Flash Plus so I would like to ask opinion from its users.. Please help me decide. Thank you so much! :)

  • I found out that weak signal on 4G and 3G, and also a little bit slow in Internet specially Youtube compare to other unit. But overall performance is Good....

  • Is the screen scratch resistant/proof?

  • i don't have any issues with the last update... my flash plus still living on its great performance, there's are no lag or stuck when i'm doing the multitasking even i turn on the Power+ mode haaha... i think the alcatel flash plus developer team gives the different firmware update between each country (i think) lol

  • this is the best phone for me. great price at 6490 @lazada i ordered 3 units last in 21 midnight. 2 gold and 1 matte ;) delivered here in isabela after 3days so fast. the camera for me is best even the front camera producing good quality pictures :) hight quality design.. and the speaker so loud i love it! lastly the 3500 mAH battery. heavy usage music, fb, youtube, surfing, camera it can last up to 2 days! :)love the AFP i hope alcatel produce more good smartphone like this and up upgrade afp to AFP2 it has 8000mAH,octacore 4gb ram 64giginternal 20mgpxl rear 13front 6inch CG4 screen 15k in philippine peso ;)

  • it also available on indonesian

  • really they will update flash plus to lollipop? i hope so. my concern with alcatel is they don't release updates for their devices. my previous alcatel device the one touch idol did not received any updates and was stuck with jellybean. i hope they won't do the same thing to Flash plus.

  • Pros: -Battery's good at 3500mAh -Display is bright at 264ppi, its brighter than Meizu M1 Note (403ppi) when in Max Range(I tried it). -Capacitive touch is very responsive -When charging, Its cool at the back cover. -Screen is OGS -They promise to release Lollipop anytime soon. They sold pretty well here in Lazada Philippines so they must have a better customer support - They must! Cons: -Low ppi but it is understandable they equate it on battery consumption if higher ppi. However they may use 294ppi, most mid-range price phone uses this. -Screen is well I guess is tempered but not as dragontrail nor Corning, only OGS. If they concerning about adding cost to their product, they might as well consider using later parts like Corning Glass 2, its cheaper now I guess.

  • This is available in Philippines.. try to go to lazada but its always out of stock. Its only 6699.

  • it is actually available via Lazada.com

  • i don't feel the lag issue that some raised on the recent afp update. so for me this phone is truly a good deal

  • hope this unit will be available in the philippines

  • could alcatel make a different colors like dark green, but this is a good phone though

  • Mine doesn't have any issues with last update. No lag, no battery drain, still as great as first time. Anyway i always do a factory reset/wipe data every

  • Sir I tried downloading all available codec for mx yet ac3 is not supported nay help sir mar

  • Really? Alcatel! Really? I thought updates are for improvements, why is my AFP Battery drains faster and charge longer than before the update, you Alcatel software developer mess up our phone, AFP doing fine before the update, now everthings went wrong, it keeps o hanging a bit lagfy during multi tasking battery drains faster, charging take longer, I dont complaint about late release of Lollipop becasue mine is doing fine, but eversince that recent update everythings blown away from me, I am starting to hate my beloved Flash Plus

  • does anyone know if they will launch a lollipop update for this device?

  • Use all in one codec for mx player.. It is in zip format

  • Yep...I tried mx player and vlc...some videos played but no audio...if this could play those various video file I would say it is almost perfect Phone for me.

  • hi guys i just wanted to ask if they released alcatel flash plus at SM branches? thanks

  • exactly. the update messed up the performance. i hope they fix this soon. where can we contact alcatel so they know that their latest update sucks.

  • My AnTuTu score is below 23,000 how to resolve this?

  • have you tried installing mx player or other player beside the default player?

  • I've been using this phone since May 2015 and during that time it has superb performance although got a downside on playing videos which could not play avi flv divx xiv mkv formats, have to keep my LG G2 Mini for video player, my only regret about this phone when updated it recently, after the update its performance becomes poor, laggy during multi tasking, battery drains faster than before the update and fast charging takes too long than before... Alcatel please don't disappoint us...We thought that that update could bring us better performance yet it give us the opposite

  • Hi! Can you help me? My AFP suddenly shutdown when the battery drops to 5% huhuhuhu. Pls thanks!

  • Ever since the update, it seems the phone is having issues with multitasking. If i have instagram, facebook and twitter open at the same time and then using browser the phone lags...wait not lag...it freezes. This doesnt happen before the update.

  • Ordered last flash sale July 21,2015 and got it delivered to me last July 24,2015. I did everything benchmarking, sensor test, camera test, stability test, battery test. Everything is good.

  • Its Dragontrail glass

  • Yes you could unroot and restore back to original state.

  • Flash participate sale 02 July. and finally received on 14 July 2015. Long Enough indeed the LEAD TIME. BUT, after I Open Box it, the first impression is simple and neat arrangement in the Box, ranging from gadgets, Screen Protector, headset, and USB cable plus Mata Charger arranged Neat. Top. I just follow the general instructions for Charging for 3 hours more. and after I switch ON. wow 1. DISPLAY looks gorgeus.. Clear, sharp and bright (brightness set Medium). Not proven quality Yellowish as issue. 2. UI interface is pretty good. Lewa OS passable Friendly and simple. (Many of which already installed Social Media features and Office) 3. CAMERA. To the rear camera is passable OK Quality (powered auto focus and LED) also feature his beautiful Gesture, covering her no shortage Shutter Key. The front camera quality a bit too Crisp's background but to focus pretty good (if I compare by Camera Home Sammy Grand Prime is 5 Mpx) 4. PERFORMANCE over all nice. TOP markotop (Antutu Benchmark with OS Kitkat can penetrate at 39.880 Points) no lagging, excellent startup, very responsive and very smooth 5. BATTERY quite convincingly, with the use of standard 1.5 pobud durability. This is my review after using it for 10 days. is OVER ALL, AOFP very very worthed and either Recommended Functions, Performance and Price. As for the slightly reduced is a feature that Plastic Materials Design, Audio Speaker shrill and Accecorize are still limited sales. The last but not least I love this One

  • @Bentang Please check the settings of the camera. And regarding on the vibration when u type the characters, u can also change it on the settings. Those are basic changes upon purchasing a smartphone.

  • Front camera too dark.. And i don't like the vibrate on typing

  • I've been using the phone for 3 days now and I really love it!!! The camera (both rear and front works really well) ... it's a good buy guys . no issues. nothing. just perfect device.

  • I guess I'll just wait for the lollipop update

  • Hi sir i would to ask if you rooted your phone, is it possibe the you could unroot or bring back the from stock rom? Please help me... I am afraid if i will root my phone i might not bring back my original stock rom to its original rom

  • i wanna ask if alcatel flash plus is available in any sm branch??? pls answer me....... :(

  • i think update 15.07.14 got the camera performance from good to bad. I'm not really sure about this but I think the camera works way better before the update. It got the phone kinda laggy too and like it hangs which never really happened before. I hope they come up with a better update soon and I hope it brings lollipop.

  • What's the info about the 15.07.14 update? Havent notice anything new after the update except the addition of xender. And is anyone experiencing any issues after the update? phone seems to be a little sluggish in gaming and right now i just rebooted the phone because the notification light wont stop blinking even after i cleared and check all notifications. I only experience this kind of issues after the update. Anyone also experiencing this?

  • @Ace, I'm an Alcatel Flash Plus user since the 1st flash sale in Indonesia, and since then, we've receive 2 software updates. The latest was today. So, I feel sorry for you and your fellow employee to ditch out this phone.

  • My company is planning to acquire atleast mid-range phone for us employees, for a $200 price range...we choose from these phones Lenovo K3 Note Alcatel Flash Plus Asus Zenfone 2 16GB variant Flash plus was the first pick since it is cheaper compare to other 2, when discussion about Alcatel that doesnt update and abondone its products, lets say did not release os updates like other manufacturer do, we ditchout flash plus from the list...our company is discussing weither we get asus or lenovo...for big company like ours to acquire the products...i feel sorry for Alcatel...and I feel sorry for Alcatel user as well...why should you patronized a brand which abondone their end user...in a year or two alcatel flash plus will be lost if still continue to produce product but abondone it later on.

  • I m using Alcatel onetouch flash since dec 2014. So far I m pretty satisfied with its performance. So far no major issues. I think the 'plus' version would be a much better performer. But I would definitely won't buy another Alcatel bcoz they don't give software updates.

Can you please help me on how can I get connected with my Bluetooth devices...thanks

  • Pretty much u're half right but mind you, Zenfone 2's intel chipset architecture is more battery efficient than the first gen zenfones. Zenfone 2's current os is 5.0 lollipop which i believe has something to do with fast battery draining. On my zenfone 2 battery consumption stats, It shows that android system has the largest battery percentage consumption. I hope that we can receive an OTA update of our zen2 ASAP coz when it is updated to 5.1, zen2 would be the one of the best out there

  • yes it is

  • Non- removable

  • Did you know about this phone? If you lost the software or fraimware the phone is no good no support Y is this phone hard to find some OS

  • Can any1 plz help me with the software of the phone? PlZ i need it

  • I've been reviewing this phone for almost 3 months up to present, it's a very good device, overall performance is outstanding especially on gaming and watching videos the best selling point is the specs with 1.5 Ghz Octacore chipset with LTE, power efficient gpu's, huge 3500mah battery, 2GB RAM and of course the price tag.

  • Yes it support USB otg...

  • Is this "Alcatel Flash Plus" support USB On-The-Go??

  • where can i download the Android 5 Lollipop update?

  • gaming and app performance is just the same with less issues on Alcatel than my Asus must still be the soc..

  • these new mtk octa64bit are pretty power efficient, I can get 6-9hrs average would be 7-8 screen time with 1day12hrs cycle dependeing on use (ex.data, games call durations). couldn't get that on my zf2 ze550ml. I have both I use this as my main phone.

  • only 1/single partition

  • AFP battery removable or non removable?

  • How is the 16GB memory divided? How big is the Internal storage?

  • Boss i have this alcatel onetuch flah plus Do you have it to? Can you plZ help me by back up of your flash plus phone I rly need 1 my flash plus phone was formated and the foolish part was i didnt back up it Pls help

  • Can you plZ help me with my phone flash plus had no software i formated it and all of the data was gone can u lend me a flash fraimware or software thanks

  • 64 bit Intel Quadcore>64 bit Mediatek octacore zenfone 2 does not heat up that much compared to its predecessor. Of course if you overuse it, it will definite heat up. go 4 the zenfone 2. get the 1.8ghz quadcore version that doesnt sport fhd. It is more battery efficient. moreover, asus zenui is the best i have experience :)

  • what about the camera quality...... let me know.

  • what about the camera quality...... let me know.

  • I'm sorry.. I don't think you know what you're talking about.. Do you know the specs of the zenfone 2? Specifically the Processor? And RAM? I think ur basing your opinions on papers dude. I'm a computer engineer so I know how the hardware works. And overheating? Dude! Octa-core heats up a lot .. and do you thing octa core means the phone uses all the 8 cores at once? What a laugh..That's where ur wrong.. zenfone 2 has an Intel Atom Quad core processor and it's 64BIT.. 64.. before u say something? Don't be a know it all.. make sure you know what you're talking about..Go study dude.

  • i just found a bug today. in the built in music app, you can use the equalizer right? but if you turn on the spectral view, the equalizer will not work anymore. no matter how you change the settings of the equalizer nothing responds. but, by the time you turn off the spectral analyzer, everything is back to normal. like you can use the equalizer again. i don't know if it is a bug or just normal. but yah! it's weird!

  • Thank you so much for your feedback. It's good to hear a comment from an actual user of this device. I am really rooting for this phone. Im just waiting for the Gold version. Btw do you have any idea when it will be available in the local stores aside from Lazada?

  • when will alcatel release Lollipop on AFP the news says they are about to release Android M anytime soon still no news on updates for this AFP

  • I Suggest Go buy This one Alcatel. Why? 1rst of all i love Zenfone, but the problem is, the Over heating of the Zenfone phone While playing games, or you just go surfing, I was thinking if it'll gonna Blow or something. Now this Phone Alcatel is no such problem found yet, Nor the Over Heat issue. If you want the Specs Go compare the specs of This Phone to Zenfone 5,6 and 2, The Winner? Absolutely Alcatel. I never found the answer of my question If the quality of the brand "Alcatel" can compare to Asus Zenfone?

  • Anyone have problem with notification of this phone not showing up for certain apps? Line, gmail and whatsapp...so on to be some example. Checked app info and notification is ticked. Notification only shows up when app is open in recent app. As soon as recent app is cleared, no new notification will show up until app is launch again. Can anyone help or have similar problems?

  • Which one is better?.. Alcatel One Flash Plus or Asus Zenfone 2?.. Im really having a hard time of deciding which phone should I buy .. I would love to hear any response from you guys in regards with my question .. Thanks .. !!

  • Hi all! anybody tried the new update? I am hesitant to do that. There might be bugs or something. Also, one more question, I always put my phone in my pocket, with all the gestures turned on... eventually, it keeps activating and turning on, then it heats up because of that. sometimes the camera turns on or something else... so i turned it all off except double tap awake, but it still activates(double tap wake up) in my pocket.. I even tried to put it inside a pouch then put both inside my pocket, still activates then heats up! does anyone have the same problem? wifi messes up too. i needed to change my SSID every time! forgetting the network then inputting the password again doesn't even work... rebooting wifi of the phone doesn't work either.

  • I don't like its design and icons... Also, Lollipop update is important. Check whether they are proving update for the same or not. Cuz soon google is releasing Android M. Kitkat will become past.

  • How the afp works? is it good?

  • Hey..im not fan of this fone but i think its not right to say that this fone is junk..first its international brand,. Second it exist before any other superb fone came like apple..i already heard this brand back way ago on nokia era(5110).. And lastly if you dont know lolipop 5.0 is bug yet..

  • If you want to know more about afp just join on their fp page..it night help you alot..

  • Hi Mr nice guy, i haven't tried charging the phone from 0 to 100% but it usually takes me around 1 hour to charge 25% but Im not using the original charger, the one supplied has 2mAh output and should charge a little bit faster that the one I'm using.

  • is this phone will receive Lollipop OS? I am planning to buy this phone if it will receive Lollipop update...

  • according to some source...it is not Gorilla Glass protected but it is Asahi Dragontail Glass so no worry guys, AFP Screen is protected

  • thank u so much bro weejho im still thinking whether i should go for this phone bcoz i prefer the specs of lenovo k3 note n its li-po battery

  • nice phone

  • i can charge mine for 3-3.5 hours from 15%-100%. I tried to use other chargers, it took it 5-6 hours to get fully charged.

  • tap apps in settings then choose the app you want to transfer then in there you will see transfer to SD card.. or if you want all apps in your SD card, choose SD card on storage as your main memory.

  • im planning to give my bb z3 to my mum and buy this phone or shoukd i just wait for lenovo k3 note? but this phone has a much better design as for lenovo i like it due to the FHD and 1.7ghz octacore

  • hi gordon have u tried asking for help have your problems been solved do they sell it in the malls other than through lazada i prefer buying at the malls if any problems were to occur i can simply go back again and find some help from them

  • hi martin im keen on knowing how long did it take u to get your alcatel flash plus to get its 3500mah fully charged?

  • the more i read the specs the more im interested in buying one the battery capacity is really generous but was wondering that is there any fast charging wonder how long will it take to have it fully charged if there is no fast charging n one more thing if this will be updated to lollipop then i guess it s almost perfect it is really cheap for that price range to get these specs

  • Go to setting and disable Continuous Shot

  • is this unit has already installed a screen protector or guard ?

  • Been using flash plus for 3 days. So far its not perfect but it delivers more than you expect given its budget. I was very satisfied with its battery life. For a typical day with minimal games or video watching, it still have half battery after a day. In terms of performance, I encountered minimal lag. On the downside, waze is a must have app for me and its not working so I hope they will ofter an update and in terms of storage, it does not allow simultaneous access of internal memory and sd card. Example camaera that is install to internal memory cannot have new capture image saved to sd card. Overall, it does not beat the flagship model of other brand but it is the flash ship model within the budget. The only major major drawback for this is its market availability in Lazada.

  • this phone's camera had some issue...it keeps continious taking picture with hitting capture button or even its voice capture command has been disable...alcatel please give us someupdate to eliminate thisproblem...

  • just my opinion, but i think there won't be a software fix for the low signal issue especially on 3G. because afp only has 2 frequency bands 900/2100. same issue with my other phone lenovo a536 having fluctuating signal. it also has the same 900/2100 frequency. unlike your samsung which has 850/900/1800/2100. Globe users will have connection issues.

  • this phone will be premitive before it taste Android Lollipop update, other manufacturer are readying their products for Android M, yet still this alcatel junk alfoats while waiting for android L...

  • this phone sucks....viewing the gallery will pissed you off...it gone exit while viewing photos on my gallery...gaming always exit even if you clean off ram before starting game...

  • As per report, Gold won't be available in the Philippines.

  • another disappointment on alcatel....this might be another abandon mobile, still there no news on lollipop update and refinement on this mobile, while other manufacturers experienced the beauty and luxury of lollipop update on their products.... games geting restarted, gallery viewing gets always lags...

  • thanks @padU it's only on APN settings in globe because APN for postpaid was set in my phone. There's APN setting's for prepaid. Mobile data now in my AFP is active.

  • Non revomeable battry and micro simcard

  • Yes, it have. But you must wait for along time before lollipop is released.

  • Can it run Garmin StreetPilot v2.33? Does it Dual Active or Dual Standby?

  • check your Access Point Names on the settings..always choose the approriate setting (4g settings for 4g capable areas and 3g setting for 3g capable areas)...the phone does not automatically change APN settings according to the signal it receives...

  • thank you..........

  • I had this AFP last June 8 from Lazada.Based on my experience, I had a problem when it comes to mobile data. It didn't detect 3G connection in Globe but can do detect 4G signal. But in areas wherein only 3G (Globe) is available, there's no mobile data. Please help me guyz what's the solution with my problem. thanks.

  • I want to buy a phone . do you alcatel flash plus is good ?

  • Did u guys notice that the back of the phone easily gets hot when using LTE? Or playing games likdm Mortal Kobat X?

  • I also had problems with the signal. While my samsung galaxy can access the internet on areas with low signal, flash plus can't even detect a signal. I was a bit disappointed. :(

  • I have been using this for almost 3 weeks. Camera is very good, as well as its battery and processing performance. But application is not as smooth as I expected: although it's quite fast, I sometimes experience freeze (and usually followed by restart) and the phone gets warm (toward hot) if there are too many opened applications. But even when there are many applications opened, it doesn't give significant effect to overall performance. In general, I like this phone, maybe it will need one or two updates to overcome the above problem.

  • yes.. only in lazada

  • I'm quite impress by the performance of the phone. Battery is superb. camera is good (front and back) speaker and display is great. Looks so elegant.. and thin. I recommend this phone to those to love social media and displaying thier phone.. :)

  • still waiting for camera quality check from here

  • Help! How can I move my apps to SD CARD? I can't find the option.

  • This phone is nice; but after using almost 2 week, i'm facing problem with low signal. I just mail to customer support and they will release update for signal problem. I hope they will keep the promise to solve my signal problem.

  • What is the difference about the alcatel one touch flash to alcatel one touch flash plus? And how about the price here in the phillipines. ?

  • i love this AFP because battery is nice 8-10hours browsing wifi 6-7hours watching youtube or videos. if call or text up to 2 days usage. camera front with auto focus has great selfies output and back is nice color of picture on output. watching youtube not so nice because its only support 720p otg: yes SD:yes problem: back camera is prone to scratches.but can protect by cutted screen protector.

  • Yup auto focus

  • yup me too had the same experience with crash map on my flash plus alcatel

  • can somebody help me how to play music with this phone?is mp3 compatible here?do i need to install anything?thanks so much

  • removable battery? what kind of sim?

  • we badly want this phone :( does anyone here knows the next availabilty of this phone? Thank you

  • Bought for the bf last June 5 and got it yesterday. Fast delivery! I want the gold one but they say it won't be available til July. :(

  • Flash Plus is great phone, yet some laggy experience in viewing gallery, and keyboard some laggy experience...but battery is superb...on standby mode youll get a great battery life, on wifi recepyion 5 thumbs up, in my experience it seems that wifi reception is better than SG note 4...great...hope well get lollipop update soon and alcatel give a solution on laggy experience...highly recommended for budget mid range phone, it is better than lenovo phones at its level...

  • Where can I find this smartphone if I want to buy it, please?

  • is true that this phone have an auto focus front camera.....??

  • In the Philippines, yes. And only available on mobile app!

  • Is it true that. Alcatel flash plus can only buy on lazada?

  • I want to know lauching date in Myanmar and then price.I want to buy gold colour

  • Great phone at cheap price. Can play HD games without lag, great battery, decent camera, etc.

  • I use CM launcher. NOVA launcher have bugs, it stalled the UI or maybe conflicting to stock rom. AFP is 64bit.. Keep that in mind, it means some apps wont function well.

  • Yeah it took longer, so I use CM Battery to speed up a bit.

  • Got update yesterday (06-05-15), but its just 4.4.4 32bit kitkat. No Lollipop yet.

  • Chech settings aka touch sensibility, mine got no problem, even at the very edge of screen.

  • Micro sim both LTE capable

  • Does anyone having problem with WAZE in Flash Plus? because my waze screen is showing broken view (black and white bricks every where), anything else seems normal, (i haven't update to the new versions of ALCATEL updater) how to solve it, many thanks

  • just realized it when i read your comment. mine is hissing too. hope it's not broken or something defective.

  • Hi guys... Does anyone around here an idea when will Acatel release Lolipop for Flash Plus... I thought they would release it the end week of May, yet no news... Please Alcatel let us experience the luxury of having Lolipop on our new Flash Plus buddy... Don't deprive from our right to have that tasty treat....

  • Have you guys having problem with touch sensitivity ? Because mine sometimes does not detect touches , especially around the bottom of the screen near the home button .

  • may i ask what type of sim it uses

  • After my update with AFP the problem is the charging time naging 5 hours na dati 3 hours lng

  • You can buy this online at Lazada. :)

  • This is already available in the Philippines and exclusively distributed by LAZADA. This will be available online again by 12NN on June 5 at a cost of Php6,490.00.

  • nice phone btw

  • there's a software update (but not lollipop). However after the update i noticed that my music player started to stop playing or getting distorted. For example i am listening to music and i'm texting at the same time, my music is distorted. when i tap the home button and there's nothing going on except the music, the music goes normal again. Observations: it only happens when im on NOVA launcher, the stock launcher is okay. can someone confirm this? for those who received the OTA? We have a fanpage on FB but it seems that nobody even cared to reply.

  • When it came to the Philippines? And Where to buy it? Please reply thanks.

  • whether Alcatel removable battery

  • It's one of the best phone I have used, it took me almost 8hrs on mobile data after I charge it again. Charge took more than 3hrs to full, and one my problem is that when recording a video it saves in 3gp format directly, can it be change to mp4?. Hoping it will get Lollipop Update..... (Sorry for Bad English)

  • Yes, but I read that I is the same with HTC M8 lens. The scratched part is not really the lens but the UV filter and the solution is by using tooth paste, alcohol, and cotton buds. I did not try it because I already sold mine when I came across this information. So for those who have the same issue try to search in youtube about that and hoping to know the results. Thank you!

  • Just decrease the screen brightness so it will not drain faster.

  • I agree. The camera lens tends to get scratched easily. I think it's only made of plastic instead of glass.

  • The battery I think absolutely empty. U must charged the battery little bit longer until u try to turn on the phone. Please try it

  • Is there an otg features in this phone? Tnx.

  • Hi. I just read a comment from a buyer in Lazada and he said that he's happy because the batt takes a long time to get drained and he's playing Mortal Combat X. Do you think there's really something wrong with my batt? How about your Flash Plus, how long does it take for you before you need to recharge? Sorry. I just really love this phone and I don't want a refund either but if needed, I'd like to request a replacement from Lazada that's why I keep asking. Thanks for your patience.

  • I guess it's bcoz of 4G/LTE network. It consume much energy than 3G.

  • I guess it's bcoz of 4G/LTE network. It consume much energy than 3G.

  • anyone having a problem with wifi tethering? everything is fine until I try that

  • When will the Flash plus be available in india?

  • I got this fon from Lazada last Monday. It's all I wanted but I'm just curious why batt level is always depleted at the end of the day when all I do is turn on the wifi once I'm at work until I reach home in case I have an incoming email. I don't text much nor use it much for other purposes. I browse the web from time to time but not much since I have a laptop that's on the whole time at work. At home I use the pc. Isn't this supposed to be 3500mah batt life? It's acting like my old fon who has 2500mah batt life where I recharge the batt everyday. Is this ok or is my batt defective? Also, I made the adjustment already but the double tap to wake up is a bit slow to respond and the volume of an incoming call isn't as maximum as the volume would suggest but it's acceptable anyway. Other than this, the phone's really great and I'm happy I bought this. Please advise me about the batt so I can return this to Lazada if ever my batt really has a problem. Thanks guys! :-)

  • Does this already has accessories like tempered glass and case?

  • Sir pls help me how to use direct video calling from AFP..

  • HI there, id like to know where can i buy this Alcatel Flash Plus except Lazada...is there any retails store available selling this item. is the price the same as Lazada?

  • Mine doesnt hiss. Its actually silent as a snail.

  • dragontrail

  • What is the screen protection? is it gorilla or dragon tail?

  • Got mine last May 24 from Lazada. Just wondering how will I be able to update this to lollipop when it becomes available because there isn't an option for updating in settings?

  • I bought from lazada. Why the charger generate hissing sound ( hzeeezzzz...) all the time during charging ? Is it normal ? Does anyone encounter this problem ? Does anyone can give opinion ? Thanks

  • Red is for charging battery.

  • I bought alcatel one touch flash plus from lazada. This phone performance is really fast and the touch screen is very responsive, both cameras is very good, the dimension is comfort in my hand, the weight is not too heavy, the display screen is clear and bright, the sound is good with active loudness + surround, the signal and wifi strength is good, the price is ok, you will satisfied with this phone.

  • Have no experience too with mofi leather case.

  • About 12hr with my normal use from 100 to 20%. 20-100 fully charged takes 3 hours

  • All I want to know if Alcatel update their phones.

  • It was designed with microsim or not ?pls reply.

  • What does the LED light yellow and red means when its flashing? Can anyone please answer. thanks in advance

  • I bought this phone about 5 days. Not really superior but the price is reasonable. I love this phone battery capacity. The camera more better xiaomi redmi note. Antutu score is 39.954, its high than expectation. The point is i am satisfied w/ this phone.

  • @Ferdi: how about the Mofi flip case? Is it good? how about the precision and material? Actually, i have no idea about Mofi, the trademark is not familiar.

  • does the fone have led notif.?

  • I havent use it for heavy games. But for soccer spirits,coc,and brave frontiers there is no problems. Camera is good enough. Not photography kind of person,cant tell use much

  • Yes. I am Indonesians. 1. They said u can use both sim card slot 4G. But not simultaneously, just one active at a time. My self personally not use 4G yet. Provider problems of course. 2)internal memory left is around 11GB. 3). Not knowing yet. Coz I left it charging while I am sleeping last night. 4. On the package they give me one screen protector. The standard of course. The case I just found hardcase and mofi leather flipcase,but there is no stock.must wait 1-2 weeks. I found it at tokopedia,

  • ferdi, are you Indonesian? i have some question, hope you want to answer these: 1) Is there possible use 3G or 4G on slot sim card 2? Because many smartphone out there only can use 3G or 4G on slot sim card 1, sim card 2 just 2G. 2) how many the rest of internal memory (ROM) that can be used? 3)how long makes the battery fully charged for 0% until 100%? 4) do you use screen protector and soft/hard case? Where did you found it? Thank you so much :D

  • OK, been using this phone for 5 days now. 1st impresion? It's pretty thin. The bezels on the sides are not that big in person, the galazy note 2's bezels are alot bigger! *screen is "okay" not that crisp but Okay. and hey this is a budget phone by the way so that's expected. *Battery life is the most awesome thing on this phone. I got a consistent 5hrs+ of screen on time per charge. *GPU is pretty powerful i would say. Playing asphalt 8 is super smooth. *CAMERA is also great or okay. I mean there are better smartphone cameras out there but with higher price tag. *Video playing is smooth as hell. it's like the motion is in 60fps or something close to that. really. it's so smooth! for now i would consider this as better than the meizu m1 note overall.

  • Is this phone has a lollipop update?tnx

  • Tbh, it is quite a good phone. waiting for other response.

  • does this phone have direct (or 3G or native) video calling ?? may kindly reply.

  • In terms of the specs and price..its economically good but hey...the ui really shitty..

  • Is it me, or does this look like the Umi emax/gmax? the umi ver. however has a full hd display and a 3700mah battery.

  • how about for gaming theirs no log? and the camera are good quality? clear? thanks

  • Actually 12:10 it is already sold out.

  • In comes with a free screen protector

  • My alcatel one touch flash plus just arrived from lazada. For my earlier experience, this phone is fast, the look is quiet elegant, compared to its price. There is heat, but quite tolerable. Camera fast response, good quality. The first impression the phone is very good, especially with the price that is cheaper than lenovo A7000.

  • Just want to know. Is the screen already installed with protector or you need to install one. Thanks.

  • I'm only waiting for the delivery. I bought 3 units on lazada ph last May 23. I'll let you know my hands on experience once I receive this beast.

  • I have this phone for a week now. Pros: Battery = 7 hours screen time - gaming, watching youtube or movies and other multimedia things. Fast = This phone is very fast Cons: LEWA OS = Lack of customization, messaging and dialer app sucks. Yes you can change the messaging app but the LED notification will be bugged. Non Removable Battery The back cover is too smooth making this phone prone to dropped, i dropped this phone 4 time alr lol. Other toughts: This phone is bang for the buck but there is no perfect phone right? Audio has some distortion on max volume, camera is noisy when low light, some games doesn't run like Dead Trigger 2, Led notification has only two colors yellow and red. It produces some heat when gaming but tolerable.

  • I love this brand since the first, now I have found again with a good specification. I've order and I wanted to check if I was still have as my hero brand?

  • English please.

  • One of the Best and Cheap Phone heree in Philippines. For only 6490 in Lazada. Out of stock always because of its Good specs and Price. Specs are all Good and even the camera.

  • based on reviews i read i think its non removable battery and cover

  • Does the GPS navigation work even without mobile data or wifi?

  • Does the gps navigation work even without mobile data or wifi?

  • is it compatible with any smart watch available today?

  • is the battery removable?

  • Still wait for my order from lazada indonesia. Hope it will as good as my expectation. Will review it later aftet I use mine

  • I'll hands on ASAP. I'm waiting this product. I've ordered and finished the payment at Lazada Indonesia. Total Amount to get this product is IDR 1.899.000 (USD 145)

  • What do you mean by Screen protection sir?

  • I have mine ordered from lazada, I ve been using now in 4 days and i just loving it..no issue at all except that there is no direct video calling that the review says it supported with VCalling..anyone can help me pls..by the my AFP scores 40115 antutu bench marking..nice phone

  • I had this unit, good performance, snappy response but my only complain is that when you take photo it has too much noise using the rear camera. The front camera is good. And lastly the Lens of this phone gets scratched very easy. I only used it for 1 day and the next day I saw so many scratches on the lens. I always use cloth when place my phones on surfaces. My other phone is already 6 mons. old and still no scratch on the lens. That's my only con for this phone everything else is good.

  • Nice phone, good specs, nice price. Alcatel is again giving the public a good phone for much less than others.

  • please add to the spec: Upgradeable to Lolipop Dragon trail screen protection USB OTG Support This Phone is incredible for the price ;)

  • Just ordered today from Lazada Indonesia, price is Rp1.899.000 (USD 145).

  • yes supports globe and smart lte

  • Scratch Resistant DragonTrail Glass

  • Good smartphone. You can't find one in the same price range with the same specs.

  • If exclusively distrbuted by lazada, this phone is at a very high price for now?

  • The screen response is good? Many review said that the screen response is bad.. Anyone can answer it Thanks alot

  • Hi! Can anyone confirm if the screen is protected by dragontrail glass. Thanks.

  • It can overcloak the processor to 1.7gHz at the root level but will drain the battery fast. Thats why they retain it at 1.5ghz.

  • I got one from Lazada last May 17. I like it: battery, performance, display, weight, build. But I wonder why Lazada and the Alcatel sites do not mention anything about its glass protection while the reviewers here in Ph say it has Asahi Dragontrail glass. The Flash Plus I received had a plastic protection over the display but I don't know if beneath it there is a scratch resistant glass. Now I read in some Indonesia and India reviews that it has no glass protection at all. Anyone out there who definitely knows about the display protection (or its absence)in Alcatel Flash Plus? I am not making a scratch on the display just to test this.

  • here in Philippines it cost Php7000 in dollars maybe $140-160

  • Is this supports lte here in philippines?

  • It supports both SIM Cards with 4G capability.

  • Not really worth to buy. But i still don't know how cost is it?

  • How much Cost ? is this fone support both slot 3g?

  • Near Field Communication. Search it.

  • is it worth buying? what are the pros and cons that you noticed?

  • You already bought it, then I need your opinion based on you. Do you enjoy using Alcatel Flash Plus??

  • Where it avialable friend?

  • will it jhave an update to lollipop?

  • OTG is supprted, i already bought the phone.

  • it has led notif with red and green colour. i have read it at alcatel fb

  • there is led notification?

  • this is confusing .. some reviews in the net they got 1.7gHz and has 43k antutu score, and now this got 1.5 and below 40k score in antutu.. anyone who can explain this?

  • It might not have NFC but will have hot knot...

  • how about an interview about this phone to help us weather we will buy it or wait for another phone to come out.. please give some indepth review on the camera. thankyou gsmarena!

  • what is nfc?

  • Do alcatel phones have updates whenever there's new?

  • In Philippines, it is exclusively distributed by Lazada. Out of stock in just a few days after it was posted for sale...

  • no, it doesnt have nfc

  • is there any nfc on this phone?

  • this supports OTG. we had one from Lazada and it is already out of stock in just a few minutes past 12 nn.

  • Alcatel flash is a good phone with battery backup for two days with moderate usage (including 3G usage, video screaming and gaming). literally i have no worries about charging daily. so far in past six months i didnt face any crash in software and no heating issues. so i am expecting the flash plus launch to buy (main advantage is 3500 mah battery)...

  • Hi it must support OTG since Atcatel flash supports it and i am using it for the past six months.
