alcatel Idol 2 S - User Reviews

  • Hi there i have the same problem with my phone switch off and did when turn on is only black screen i performed a hard reset from here use combination key and wipe out your all data your phone will be fixed. Three cheers to me when its fixed

  • I've had a similar error where it didn't want to open. I let hold on charge for a few days and then held the power button for atleast 20 seconds. To my surprise, it had actually opened.

  • I suggest you ''stubborn trojan killer'' -> from play store

  • I will not bring it to repair center, I can do a hard reset on my phone

  • had the same problem. If you bring your phone in for repairs they just factory reset. Took 3 times sending in for repairs for them to replace the actual phone.

  • Have any custom ROM for it ? Plz share.

  • My alcatel idol 2s has stopped working suddenly. First I had problems with the phone it was restarting itself and my servise center told me that is the software. But now my phone is not working at all. I don't know what to do next. If anyone had the same problem please tell me what to do.

  • Is theare any update on 6050y i broke my phone thats the reason im asking .

  • I am having the same problem. In my local service they've told me that is about the software :/ I don't know what to do next :/

  • Herw it's photo from official message froe alcatel about kitkat update

  • if there 4.4 kitkat update????

  • Still no update for kitkat :/

  • kitkat 4.4 update

  • i have 4.3 jelly bean and it wont upgrade to 4.4 Kit Kat why does it says to me that the software is up to date?

  • we just can wait for update or root our phones and install some update or cyanogenmod

  • i don't know i same have the 6050y and still don't have update for my phone ☺

  • i have 6050y and no system update ,doesn't have kitkat update?????

  • i have 6050y

  • Only if you have the 6050A version is possible to climb to KitKat (4.4.2). In the XDA forums you can find the right build.prop for that. In my case I have the 6050F and I'm still waiting.

  • Anyone have the 6050F model and already have the version 4.4.2, which is the highest Kitkat that Alcatel have available for this model?

  • Can any body tell me how to upgrade to 4.4 kitkat??

  • hello ..I have this phone 10 days for the problem right away ... always by itself goes out(off) one day.. I tried a factory reset and nothing..problem is same..any help .. ??

  • I've had this phone for 2 months now and i think it's a great phone but i have one issue. When i close apps the UI starts lagging a lot for 2-3 seconds. Is this common or it's only with me? And how can i fix this?

  • This is the best affordable phone. I have it and I'm very glad that I bought it. I'm using it for 2 months and it works perfect without any lags.You're not gonna make any mistake if you buy it.

  • guys where can I order a new back plastic for this phone cuz I scratched my phone so badly. I can't find anywhere on net... :(

  • Greetings all! I'm a little noob when it comes to smartphones so i have to ask.I'm planning to buy Alcatel One Touch Idol 2 S next month and i'm wondering is this phone any good? I'm not looking for a high end phone,but i want it to run smoothly without major and constant stucking.And since Alcatel aren't that famous when it comes to smartphones i couldn't find a lot of reviews.One guy said that the speaker is a catastrophe and that music sound like crap.Is that true? Btw i don't have much money,this phone is currently availible in my country,do you think it's worth it? Thanks a lot,any help is appreciated!

  • Scroll down!

  • have u tried to scroll from the left of the screen to the right direction?

  • When I unlock the screen it always starts up with camera. I tried to find out if there is any short key that maybe is active but I didn't find anything. Does anyone else have this problem?

  • guys there in the specs they say that the phone doesn't have radio but on ny device there is and is functioning normally. For an infirmation for the curious ones

  • i have a problem with home key,menu key and back key,the light key is turning on without any reason,sometimes it works smetimes not,without turning my self on or off. Can anybody can tell me please how to fix this,or where is option for turning the light on or off. Otherwise is a nice device,really decent one.

  • excellent phone. i am fully satisfied for it's feature and camera with excellent flash. by the way alcatel is one of the best company have i ever seen.

  • Not a bad phone. There are many little things that I can't stand about it. Also, every write up containing specs for this phone lists NFC. My phone does not have NFC. Probably going to exchange it for a new phone.

  • Got it on quick boot? mine boots up in under 2 minutes

  • I got white version from Orange Polska. Very nice looking and fluent operating. I like "double-click screen" to wake-up gesture :) Some issues are FM radio is Mono, TV Link (perhaps Miracast?) instead of MHL, does not support OTG. Unfortunately mine has "Simlock". Also I am not able to find a root method at this moment. Can anyone help?

  • This Phone have a huge problem with the main camera. The flash is to close to the camera, so when I took a picture in the dark I only saw reflections of the light of the flash.I return my phone to the store. Beside that its a nice smartphone.

  • Handset does feature an FM radio.

  • My Nokia 3310 started up quicker than this phone. Its been booting up for 7 minutes now.

  • Is that suppose to be a joke? This phone is no way shape or form better than the motorola phone you just mention.

  • Better than Moto G + LTE should you ever order it.

  • tell me abt its game review

  • What about price in australia

  • Rs 23499/- only

  • How much its price would be in india?? And when it would be available here??
