alcatel One Touch Idol Ultra - User Reviews

  • Alcatel one toucj

  • People phoning in continuously get a " engaged " signal

  • I cannot answer the phone when it is off. There is no way to answer without turning the phone on, when I do it cuts off the call. It apparently should show on the screen, even when it is off, that there is a call and then can be answered without turning on the phone. But it does not show...just a blank black screen while it is ringing. I hope that makes sense to you and if it does maybe someone can help me.

  • incoming call & contact always not responding

  • not working incoming call

  • 120$ best prize for the smartphones aroud screen resolution is fantastic

  • call your internet proveder :)

  • My problem is hot swap alert data loss what's the problem to my phone

  • Having same issue but no reason known yet. Still researching. Compared to my MotoX (1st) huge difference in WiFi downloads speed. Idol 3 just seems to drag, especially in Play Store installs and app updates.

  • phone phone get heated (hot) and also screen is broken, service center is asking for rs 8500/= for new screen,very high

  • i buy alcatel idol ultra yesterday..but when i am downloading its very slow........can anyone suggest to resolve the problem....?

  • LCD is boroken

  • my alcatel phone screen is broken getting and a replacement is difficult and this has made my phone usele ss

  • I have an Alcatel bluetooth earpiece and I am NOT happy with it this is the worst bluetooth that I have ever had and the fact that my alcatel phone only works on Alcatel bluetooth is sad had I known that from the beginning I would have bought a different phone.

  • How can i back up photos in the phone as the screen is invisible after the phone had been dropped.

  • My bluetooth is not working, whenever i share file from my phone or receive file, a box will pop up "unfortunately bluetooth has stopped". How can i fix it? Please reply to my query. Thankyou

  • My bluetooth is not working, whenever i share file from my phone or receive file, a box will pop up "unfortunately bluetooth has stopped". How can i fix it? Please reply to my query. Thankyou

  • I select hide options to hide some vdo. But all contact,vdo,photo hided and I'm not getting options to unhide those file. Can someone help me... 09804939404

  • The Bluetooth was working now has just stopped...can't turn on Bluetooth with slider..anyone know why please...

  • once it falls down to repair it cost almost the same amount of purchasing new.

  • you can download fron tumate youtubedownlaoder easiy.

  • Bluetooth not working. It paired but file not transfer. Any body tell me.

  • Good phone. Fair price. Cons: - battery life; for heavy users max. 5-6hrs. - phone restarts spontaneously, average once every other week. - camera takes good pictures during the day, at night it's useless - after 6 months' use, you can slightly see keys of the digital keyboard already imprinted (only on white background) - no android updates - no the fastest phone, this is due to 1GB RAM memory (I'd recommend minimum 1.5GB memory for Android 4+) - no 4G - you need to use an adapter for the 3.5mm jack Pros: -nice, big screen, excellent clarity -good, loud sound -good call quality -sufficient storage memory -design is a plus (back case is plastic, but it doesn't feel cheap) -2 cameras, front and back; I'm satisfied with the picture quality, but at night it is disappoiting -excellent value-for-money

  • It was the best phone I have ever had! I recently lost it and started looking around for what could be an equivalent replacement - and there is none! Will probably buy the same phone... It has only one port for charger that works as a port for headset, but then again it's not that much of a deal. And this phone is absolutely stunning. In literally every aspect - design, price, power, battery life. With listening to music for at least 3 hours a day and constantly turned on mobile internet it survived for 2 days, which is pretty good for a smartphone that comes for below 200 euros. I would recommend it without hesitation!

  • go 2 servicing center

  • How to remove the sim???

  • It doesn't have a headset port?

  • hi i have Ome touchmobile but touch screen is not working properly plz can some one tell me from where should i repair it

  • excellent phone although not powerful phone to run high graphics or games , but stylish ,nice feel sexy and do the job for everyday i.e browsing watch videos ,facebook , and general apps , if you looking for a phone to play games this is not for you , screen is amazing , the only cons no upgrades (for the android version stock is 4.1.1) which led me to brick the phone mistakenly :( , i miss this phone.

  • The camera is clear...but not as clear as a Galaxy camera....

  • I have been through several phones....varius galaxies, blackberry, and many more. I absolutely LOVE this phone.....except the battery life is crap. I am having to plug it in a couple times a day. Also, sometimes the screen becomes unresponsive and I have to do a master reset. Other than these few things, it is a great phone. It is fast, has a very large memory, and easily slides into my pocket. Cases for it are hard to find (which I don't like), but overall, I would recommend this phone to others!! By far better than the iPhones and Galaxies!!

  • How to make the applications in folder? Can any one help me?

  • Hi. I wonder why I can't send or receive MMS via my Alcatel One Touch Idol Ultra phone. I have already downloaded the required network settings and installed it on my handset. There's also indications that my phone has data connection and I made sure that I have sufficient airtime balance. Yet all MMS I tried to send fail. Can anyone suggest an alternative solution to my problem? Thanks.

  • Better don't buy this phone guys..used it for 5 months now..only two things I appreciated and proud about this phone - it's built design and super slim, that's all..about camera, hmm I guess it's okay or just below-par quality, too much noise and distortion in pictures I took..playing music at high volume seems to have problems too..BATTERY is the most shit ever, only survived a few hours while online (brightness low, gps off..just wifi on)..the movie editor also seems to be useless as it prones to crash somewhere somehow..so what I can proud about this phone for? Just for the outside but not the inside! Just because it's official partner for Iron Man 3 movie that why it raise it's price, but it totally sucks..Better don't go for this phone, lots of problems - for seriously..

  • yes

  • Is it true that the battery is not removable? Please respond as soon as possible...

  • Is it true that the battery is not removable? Please respond as soon as possible...

  • after recent firmware update on my idol ultra, i noticed that my battery life was shortened.hw can i get rid of this

  • Good phone.. Only qualms being that the no recent apps sometimes flashes across the screen when nothings happening and sometimes when your making or receiving a call, the home buttons on the bottom refuse to light up for like 20 seconds... Other than that its all merry in the camp and flock me shes a good looking phone...........

  • my phone keeps vibrating when receiving a message even vibration is not on. anybody knows how to solve it?

  • Cheap, great designed, tiny, not so slow. Battery seams OK. After this one, the old Samsung i8750 feels so fat. I am a bit suspicion with the Camera, to be proved. So I am fascinated with this phone :-)

  • best bang for the buck on the market in my option. l own this thing for 4 months and couldnt be happier. it has all the features other way more expensive phones have and it costs MUCH less. actually its better than them because its slim as hell. a samsung galaxy is literally twice as thick. the build quality on the outside is great, it can take drops on tramac and it comes in many colors yay! the only flaws i can think of are the missing earphone plug (an addapter is needed instead which can be annoying sometimes) which l dont care about anyway and the camera which sometimes has some trouble taking the picture as sharp as it should be. also note that the battery cant be removed, l guess its made to last a few years.

  • Hi guys! Any news on 4.4 KitKat upgrade?

  • it's 13GB only :)

  • it means you have ejected your sim.. its not a problem actually :)

  • how to use in PC if have PC-shuit

  • This phone is really sleek. I tried it out in the store today and with 6.5mm thin it feels incredibly unreal. But at the same time it's something special. Screen looks good too. Price is fair, it's definitely a phone to try.

  • what is the smart features in this phone ?

  • Just got mine 21Dec2013 as a FREE loyalty phone from my service provider. I had a choice between Samsung Galaxy Grand, Nokia Lumia 720 and Alcatel Idol Ultra. I checked the specs and comments here in GSM arena and this is what I chose. It's been great so far, everything as I expected. The only negative I experienced is the battery can only last for a few hours when connected online.

  • I totally agree. Most of my friends either have iphone kr the high end models of samshng but when i had them use my alcatel idol ultra they were all impressed.

  • Can you download apps onto the phone?

  • battery sucks

  • H ow much it's this phone?

  • i dont have the 3.5mm adaptor for the phone, can you give me any Ebay link for buying it or somthing?

  • How many contacts can the font take

  • Hi, I am also experiencing the same problem. How did you solve it?

  • its normal except the message led noti, it must blink.

  • I can't turn on my Alcatel One Touch Idol Ultra phone, I think the power button isn't working anymore. Whenever I charge it, the battery appears, but I can't turn it on using the power button like forever. Please help!

  • To the users of this phone My notification led is blinking when there's low battery but when I get a message it is on constantly :O Also it is constantly on when I'm charging battery Is it OK or do I have some buggy phone? I think the led being constantly on uses more battery than if it would blink There's no settings for that led also :-(

  • the keyboard is not lagging when typing? help me to answer this question because i think i want to buy it. or shud i buy samsung grand instead this alcatel idol ultra? thanks :)

  • Exactly the same here after the firmware upgrade, I hope i never applied that stupid upgrade. Factory reset will not rollback to previous original firmware. I am sad, if any one can help us go back to original firmware, we would be grateful :(

  • I just got the phone as a free optional handset. I previously had all sorts, like iPhone, experia, Nokia, etc. I always thought Of Alcatel as not so good brand for mobiles but this one is Ok. I love the size and the shape. Big enough and still not droppin' out of your hands. Nice display and a little laggy when it comes to gaming but hey it's not an iPhone or galaxy... I would change the price though, it's too expensive... mine was complementary...😜

  • handset is not to good but as compare to others company handsets ultra is expensive.flash quality is also not good.

  • i've a message (hot swap alert..restart to prevent data loss) what is the problem??..i made a factory rest

  • Stylish, affordable, should be a review on here. But that won't happen sadly.

  • i am going to buy

  • Its a great phone. Awsome, stylish and fast.

  • yeah.... we same phone alcatel one touch idol ultra. verry nice phone and verry good display.

  • I just bought it for my girl. Battery is non removable.

  • the slimest on the plant

  • The battery is non-removable ??????

  • Does anyone know if this phone is going to get firmware upgrade to 4.2 JB....

  • verry empressive this phone...........

  • Because Idol Ultra have 16 Gb memory, Idol ordinary have 2 Gb, thiner, beter displey...i have Idol Ultra

  • Ive used this phone for nearly month now...i gave it a 6 out 10...this phone is quite cool...the screen looks crispy as it is amoled..and the internal storage are quite big which is 16gb...the sound also great..the camera also somewhat could be better...thebad things are the battery life is quite short..im not a heavu user but this phone would probably died in the end of the day...the video player also somehow laggy, the sounds comes first before the videos...about games it also quite laggy...i played temple run 2 on it but on a low settings but there is still a little bit laggy...but overall, i love this phone...will use it until the next year...it slim and really good for me to handle it...

  • ttly agree...

  • I wont say a bad phone, looking at the specification and the thing i use is satisfactory...not a gr8 phone...but pretty good! Battery Life has an issues as i was reading the opinions..for me it is not...coz there is no such gr8 phone made in the world with both smart option and more battery life..its universal!

  • why worried about alcatel - TLC? how about HTC - Dupood? Even now iphone parts also made in china... quality issue is not brand but vendor who supply the parts ... i been use 3 weeks now..seem ok. but the funny parts is, when people expect this phone same like note 2 or S4...wake up .. its a mid level smart phone which way much better then S2 (dual core)with a slim profile... as you may khow.. all slim smartphone nowaday came wt a fix battery..(eg. sony, iphone, HTC ect) so what's the issue.. it is not you always change your batteries when power low... dont compare you toyota vios wt bmw X6.. get a life...!

  • Dear; there is new update on air you have to upgrade your phone first that update will solve your all battery issues

  • i buy this a week ago im really dissapointed in this phone bcuz battery life is so BAD! i hate this phone

  • Alcatel is a well established brand, though its components maybe made in china. They are not rebranding phones.

  • Finally i was able to get my hands on this beauty. After reading so much about Alcatel's latest offerings I chanced upon a display unit and personally tried Alcatel's latest technology. It is indeed such a very nice phone. Good job Alcatel!

  • please help how can i save pictures from facebook using this alcatel one touch idol ultra?

  • In less than a month of use, the mic stopped working. Gave the phone to the dealer. Asked to check after one week.

  • How to close some running apps to free some of the ram

  • what do u mean it can't be charged?

  • no SD no 3.5 jack and a 1800 mah battery it is expensive for 350$ its quite a useless phone just for design and alcatel is known for cheap phone they should think about this they should price this around 250$ only

  • I like this phone and almost bought it, but too bad it is: - Micro-SIM - no micro SD card slot (with 16 GB internal storage), - 1 GB RAM is too little - Worse of all, cannot change battery, it is really a disaster!

  • beautiful phone with nice price, but cant change battery and only 16gb capacity and no SDcard

  • This phone bettry life too bad.....

  • Does it supports with DLNA??

  • Win..

  • two thumbs up...

  • I want to purchase this phonw but im worried about the backup battery life

  • Amazing device with a very good price.

  • Amazing device with a very good price.

  • i efin love this set!

  • as specs indicated 3.5mm jack is impossible for its size.. so they use an adapter for headphones with 3.5mm.. this adapter will be used instead.. i guess u should plug in ur 3.5mm headphone to the adapter and plug in the adapter to ur phone just look for the port.. the only problem is the battery.. hope it would last a day.. 16gb internal storage is enough just like apple's iphone..

  • Alcatel is only brand.... Which belongs to TCL. ;)

  • buy bluetooth headset and no need adaptor or cable

  • Is it manufactured by ALCATEL or by TCL?

  • I m really addicted wth the alcatel one touch phone,to bad i can't afford one n i wsh i had the New Alcatel One Touch Idol Ultra it jst stand out 4 the fame of smart phones.Please make ma dream true Alcatel.

  • Its very excellent phone, High resolution screen, Beautiful design, ALCATEL come back.

  • let we say it has adapter. but when this phone in your case,pocket,pouch or what so ever ; you may experience accidental plug out of the adapter unlike 3.5mm and im sure adapter makes somebody to think its awkward and not flawless enough

  • it has a lowend GPU and its not suitable for HD screen and any HD game like modern combat4

  • Still Alive???? Are You Kidding Me Alcatel Is One Of The Best Brands

  • Bro This Phone Has 3.5mm Jack Adopter!

  • i think there was no 3.5jack because company focus on the thin size therefore if it has 3.5mm jack it affect the thin size and surface. because 3.5mm jack has size 6.5mm diameter..which is also the size this phone. myopinion..

  • i think there was no 3.5jack because company focus on the thin size therefore if it has 3.5mm jack it affect the thin size and surface. because 3.5mm jack has size 6.5mm diameter..which is also the size this phone. myopinion..

  • ALCATEL ons toch is onze of the three telecom compagnies who exists more thans 20 years. Besides that they show positieve growth figures in contrary tot many other telco's. Globally no. 7 land growing.

  • he was dead but apparently a chinesse company revive'it, now Alcatel is a Walking Dead- second season

  • hahahaha :) Alcatel still ALIVE???)))

  • I've tried many phones from brands as Samsung, LG, Sony, BlackBerry, nokia, etc. and can assure you that you get a lot of phone for the price you pay!

  • i am conviced that you are positivily surprised but on what price ? the gpu is even horse than of the first generation of adreno gpu,other china company use'it for clones phones their selling old hardware at double the cost, fortuneless not to educated persons

  • So many negative opinions of people who have not seen and tried this smartphone. I am a user and can tell you that everyone who have seen and tried it is very suprised in a positieve way!

  • such a shameless steal the processor is on 40nm, now days even the lowst of lowst use 28nm tech, but i think that if you are a girl maybe a could let you one touch my slim idol :D

  • just slim & amoled display except that nothing is interisting.

  • whether the dragon trail glass better than gorilla glass?

  • GSMArena Please Review It Please

  • How can u compete with other phone manufacturers?! Lower spec with higher price?! I'd better stick with galaxy or optimus or xperia - higher spec with Lower price. Or are u selling amoled screen and 6.5 mm thickness? No, thanks. I want a phone - not these.

  • What about battery life???

  • Amoled screen! That's great. .

  • 1800mAh battery only? No thank you.

  • You're better off with the S2, this phone has an Old proce & GPU. its only optimized for low res better get the Idol instead

  • which one is beter this phone or old Samsung S II appreciate any reply thank you alamir

  • Very nice price just $345 , but what about battery life

  • i think this has only a sgx 531 GPU on a MediaTek MT6577 PCU & will be struggling on full 3D HD games..

  • there is on my unit...here in the philippines its now carried by sun cellular..on plan 600. very nice phone

  • How about posting its official GPU? PowerVR SGX 540 or PowerVR SGX 531 Its been a crossfire.. LOL!

  • Geeeh!!! I does NOT have a socket for EXTERNAL MEMs! No slots for SD CARDS! wont buy this.

  • I just bought this phone yesterday in Bahrain for BD.139/- (i.e. equivalent to Rs.20000). I must say it's really a good phone and is a bang for the buck. Due to it's slimness, handling is superb and hardly feel in the pocket. Screen resolution is too good and sunlight legitimacy too. I have used Samsung Note, S3, Note2 and S3 mini but somehow I like this phone a lot compared to Samsung. Voice clarity is loud and clear during conversations. Built in speakers is also loud while hands free operation. Signal strength is very strong for voice calls and connects to 3G very fast and holds without dropping. Touch screen is highly responsive and it's pleasure to handle. My advice, you just can go for it if you are looking as an option for Samsung and believe me you will not be disappointed.

  • It is not yet available in India. Getting launched on April 26th with release of IRON MAN-3 since this phone has been used in few scenes in the movie. There will be huge marketing of this phone. Alcatel in India is under the name of T&A Mobiles Phones Ltd i.e. TCL & Alcatel. I think it will be overpriced. As per rumours it will be sold around 17k though MRP would be 19k.

  • You can buy all alcatel mobiles through Idea 3G care.

  • Coming soon in flipkart

  • Its a waste.. they are using same MediaTek Processor

  • You can visit Alcatel one touch India Facebook page. To buy one touch ultra. It's also available at www.salzmart .com

  • I live in indore. Where do i buy this mobile? I wnt to buy this heaset but i dnt know proper place for it. Can anyonetell me the site or shop to buy this mobile.?

  • its ...amezing mobile ....wow i love it i like it.........its better then galaxy s3 or lg optimus ..................and about music ..we have lots of option for listing music.........m i right ?

  • No headphone socket? No problems, the alcatel I've got at the moment bluetooths all sounds to speakers headphones etc, I just tend to drop phones with cables!.

  • maybe because 3.55mm jack does not fit to 6.5mm thickness

  • It doesn't have a headphone-jack, but includes an adapter? What possible reason would they have for making this kind of blunder?!

  • Well I would love to see another player coming out with a competitive device. I am more happy that it Alcatel, one of the pioneers of the Mobile phones. But I am not sure how long those batteries can run a 4.85 inch device or a 5 inch device. With 1820 and 2000 mah battery respectively sure it will force the users to carry on chargers in their pockets. Well its competition now, with blackberry and Nokia coming out with great devices, HTC and Sony too catching up, sure the techi minds will definitely work on new features, to get hold of the market share. We customers got lot to review and choose now.

  • It is wonderful phone you guys need to try it. Alcatel getting back to hit the market just wait couple of months it already launched in USA and soon will be launched in Bahrain.... Idol Ultraaa this is what I am waiting for...

  • batteries power less than 1400 mAh....sad

  • coz its the worlds slimmest smart phone.

  • Samsung galaxy nexus??

  • Why they couldn't install 3.5mm audio jack...? Also the maximum storage size till 16 GB.

  • does this come in white version?

  • no 3,5 mm jack - it is very bad news ;(

  • This phone will come with a microUSB-3.5mm adapter.

  • Regarding the lack of 3.5mm jack, I was reading that will come with a microUSB to 3.5mm jack converter, so wouldn't be a problem. Also the lack of microSD hmmm, I think with 16gb I would be good, but hmmm... Also, I'm not sure if I want to buy this phone or the Galaxy S3, hope this cost less than $350 dlls.

  • "Preliminary official specifications".So stop whining around,guys!

  • are you serious? theres no 3.5mm jack..no earphones?

  • Had been using Alcatels for years and years (now I am on my 8th Alcatel).It's really great to see them gaining confidence with higher and higher end products :)

  • How come! there is FM radio there is no 3.5mm audio jack

  • when it will release it will become the thinnest smarphone. :)

  • There is no more room for the 3.5mm audio jack. :D

  • No 3.5 mm jack?? Lol!

  • Nice beautiful phone. Hope it will be cheap!

  • Good new from Alcatel to release a phone like this. Looks great, super AMOLED and a nice screen. But, it should not be overpriced indeed.

  • This phone would be nice if it is cheap,if they overcharge(alcatel isn't that popular)then this phone is goin to crash.

  • This has no card slot. Great! :P I just don't understand these guys.
