alcatel One Touch Snap - User Reviews

  • sure

  • Please wat is the general password for the phone

  • I wont to Ask Where would i fix my screen ooooo in abuja Sweet phone but to get the parts is a big Problem here...

  • Does the phone have WiFi built in it

  • What is malyalam language u speak about ??

  • The phone is great! it holds so many apps and have so many other great features on it as well, I feel a lot of people should get this phone

  • do factory data reset and you'll have a lot of space in memory

  • the phone sucks always says no room to download any apps

  • the phone sucks always says no room to download any apps

  • go to "play store" and you can find "malayalam keyboard" or "view in malayalam" and other apps for malayalam .

  • I am unable to view malayalam font in this phone. ALL messages in WhatsApp are coming as special characters like,.|.... How do i view those fonts. Please help.

  • No doubt phone is very good but i ordered online from flipkart. Which provides worst service ever.my phone got damaged and sent mail for them as they mentioned door step maintenance. But they gave me few number and address of repair centres. When i called them they said we don't provide any alcatel. I again send mail but they gave m few excuse and toldthey will rresolve the problem but till today no call nothing so beware .

  • Hi guys, Hope you will be a little impatience to get to know about how Alcatel has called apart as such a foolish choice these days. No service centre of its own pan India. Horrible customer care. Helpline # is not functional in last few years. Unsure how it came out with Flash n other models etc. Pathetic senior officials at the senior levels. Customer care reps fail to put things into c.e.o. escalation. I think almost half of the Alca flash users are left with 5.5'' residue of a cell phone. Maybe the company knows of its survival and future plans in India, especially!

  • This is a good phone, takes good pictures and music quality is great, running apps on it is also fast ......Im going to buy another one soon

  • My mobile touch prebalm

  • My phone is block an i need some help like plzz

  • I bought Alcatel one touch flash ce1588... Good condition... Satisfied...but a silly problem can't read malayalam in whatsap... Can anyone help me.....???

  • Can't read malayalam.. What I can do...?

  • Please learn malyalam first, then only you can read it.

  • Guys I bought this mobile on flipkart in December during their first flash cell. Last month it started giving display problem. Display will get messy till you reboot back. But later problem became serious. Called up listed service centes in Bangalore. The one in bomnahalli denied to take this model for service. Compac teleservice accepted the phone for service. But the could not do anything and sent it to Delhi. It looks it had motherboard issue and they are not able to get the parts. Surprising the phone launched 6 months back and this is the condition. It's more than 45 days but still no resolution. Please do not waste money on this product. I will be taking these guys to consumer forum. Whatever happens I will recover my hard earned money.

  • Guyz naver buy ALCATEL product.. The product quality n service centre will make u cry.. Plz value ur money and don't waste it on mess products like alcatel

  • Can't read malayalam language in whatsapp. Any suggestion? Pls help me

  • Can't read malayalam language in whatsapp. Any suggestion? Pls help me

  • my mob fall down and not getting on what should i do my mob model is alcatel onetouch flash 6042d

  • Cannot read malayalam messages in whatsapp

  • I bought it last year the phone is fine back camera is take shoots by 6 mb only . the space is too small i can't download 2 modern games . the phone crash some times and it take too long to back to life there are no official roms or custom roms so you can't update to 4.4.4 or even 4.3 this phone is just for call and normal use not for gamers or photographers just normal use like chat , surf the web and check social networks . ( sorry for my bad english )

  • heello nouran, you can not do it. but i have done the update to 4.2.1 and i have any problems like black screen when You change contraste. please, i need original ROM or ot previews 4.1.2 to solve it

  • Can i update my alcatel one touch snap to kitkat

  • Can't read Malayalam

  • How to set sim one ringtone and sim two ringtone in alkater onetouch 7042 D

  • Try the app ( Insta Square Pic ) it will work perfectly I promise c:

  • Actually bad working (with memory) Android. Do not buy this Android at all. Take higher versions = with prior serious verifications. Rude Android !!! Another thing - is stupidity of this Android. You may not block incomming SMS - only calls. Just imagine.

  • Excellent clarity in both the camera's, battery is okay and slim\weight less.... apart from nothing.......

  • loving the phone but need to crop photos. can anyone tell me how to do this thank you

  • The phone gets switched off automatically...any solution to it

  • Don't care for it much. Won't let me crop my photos or anything. No screen shots either. When talking,I hang up on people because my ear hits it. If phone rings and its in my pocket,just reaching in my pocket answers it. I enjoy StraightTalk. Had several phones. I dislike this one. Sorry

  • M also using it...plz tell me can we update it with latest android vrsin

  • one of best phone I have used, lost it not seen on market (Mombasa - Kenya)were can I get replacement

  • How to upgrade it help me out please

  • i got this phone from more than year and until now its so good 2 things are bad the internal memory rom it is 2 GB but can update with external card to 32 GB the second thing that there isnt Kitkat upgrade

  • In addition to the previous post To block undesirable callling person - one has to add his (her) tel. number to the Address Book first. That's seemingly the worst demerit of Android 4.2 JElly BEan (in Alcatel Onetouch Snap)

  • The most terrible problem is probably connected with Jelly Bean 4.2 - which is unfortunately not updatable (in thin phone). Is impossible to block incoming sms (in contrast to undesirable call)... Moreover the blocking of the latter is very difficult (is necessary to include the number into the Address Book) - believe it or not. Thus the phone's Address Book may be overfilled by shit.

  • @ Alanto. You had the phone almost s year any issues with it?

  • I have same problem, found 1 solution here it is

  • Setting>audio profiles>general>voice call ring tone

  • My smartphone model No ALCATEL ONE TOUCH 7042D, Firmware version 4.2.2-01005, Baseband version MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V7, Kernel vertion 3.4.5 . I downloaded JAVA application and APK from Google play store, but not shown the typing output.Send message is received output is OK Only not shown in My Mobile. waiting for your valuable advice.

  • Stephen. Do a manual reset. Turn off phone. Press volume down while powering on the phone then you can do a factory reset.

  • It is not the Alcatel Pop C3 as that device does not come with a flash. It seem as though the wrong specs was provided by the company but this here the OT snap is more similar to the photo that is on their website.

  • I thought, the DL 700 was the Alcatel Pop C3, cause the DL 750 seems to have KitKat & Flash. Also when asked for specs, Digicel redirects you to this phone.

  • Well the Digicel d750 is actually the Alcatel Pop C3 more specially the 4033A version. Tough luck :( there is never gonna be a good digicel phone

  • So. The Digicel DL750 is a modified version of this phone? Camera reduced to 5MP and RAM from 1GB to 512MB. However shipped with KitKat 4.4.2 and at an affordable price. hmm lets see

  • Have this phone flashing indicator for missed call / message received. Please answer. Thanks advance

  • Do it have cases

  • No i couldn't get the cover nor the screen prot from the same place where i bought the phone from...but friend of mine advised me that all the accessories of alcatel are available in 888 stores in 3een Shams...and i'm lazy to waste my day off buying this staff....another thing...for the screen prot you can but on the screen any comparable screen prot not made for Snap...the main thing is tobe 4.5 INCH and will works fine maybe will not be for the hole Body of the front of the phone but will be covering the screen itself ..however it's Anti scratch galss

  • Yes exactly...

  • can you tell me how much is the free space available in this mobile??

  • Thanks for your prompt reply.. Do you mean that you have noticed slight noise in the earpiece when setting the earpiece volume to maximum during a call?

  • Well ayman....the duel sim is not avail yet in egypt....im not abig fan of duel Sim caz will droop alot of the battery life of the phone. i noticied also this issue of the quality of the earpiece specily during a call with the other side in a quite place...but by decressing the voice if earpiece 2 or 3 bars you can help to fix this issue actuly the earpiece has another vantage when you are in SO LOUD enviroment..(for example the undergroud)you can hear the other side very good comparing with xperia Sola that i had before the Snap...i wasn't able to hear anyuthing when i'm in noisy place. something else i noticed yesterday that the headset is realy Bad but i spre one and it's working fine better than the Alcatel's one and the device is compatable with alot of 3.5 headsets brands even the chines one. fell free to ask any other questions

  • Yes, you can buy the dual SIM version, but from abroad.. It's not available in Egypt, in case you live in Egypt.

  • Congratulations for the phone :) By the way, wasn't the dual sim version available at the place you bought the phone from? One more question, have you noticed any slight noise or rattle coming out of the earpiece during making phone calls in a quiet environment? Specially if the person you are calling has a loud voice.. Please verify this point because it is a major problem with most Alcatel phones..

  • `well...i just bought the phone 2 days ago....it's not bad for this price...Quad core 1.200 with 1 GB Ram make it realy fast...HD photo camera makes very CLEAR photos....just the battery didn't make me very happy.....if you use it just to make some calls,check your E-mail,facebook.whatsapp...ETC so will need to be charged again after MAX 20 hours.....but if you will do the previous with some Video games so you will need to charge it after 6 hours maybe...closing WI-FI and decrese the brithness of the screen will help longing the battery life alittle but also not the desired unfortunately this the only disadvantage in this phone but comparing this Specs with the Price so it's very very cheap...i bought it from ELGENDY...Elharam 1640 L.E over all it's perfect for who wants to Pay less having such Big screen mobile 4.5 Inch,fast using the whatsapp,facebook and this light apps...but it's very harm for the battery the HD shooting and gaming and so on.....if you need to know anything about the phone before you buy PLZ let me know

  • and if it says it is optional dual sim,, i can buy the dual sim version.. right??!

  • But is says that it's optional dual sim!!

  • Because the dual SIM version isn't available in Egypt..

  • when i tried to buy it from select mobile it doesnt give me an option to choose the dual sim or single sim what can i do??

  • I want help I have problem in downloading apps and updating and can't download any pictures from browser.

  • If that's right, u can buy the dual sim vesrion !!

  • Optional dual SIM means the device is available in 2 versions, 7025X (Single SIM)& 7025D (Dual SIM)

  • isn't that the dual sim version?? it says optional dual sim!!

  • Thanks, but I'm talking about the dual sim version..

  • How is the quality of front camera in low light conditions? Does the phone need a strong near source of light to handle a video call on skype for instance?

  • Now Available at Select Stores

  • yes you can , but not for all apps . I use clean master app , it offers me to move the movable apps to sd card . it can move most of the app size , but leaves a small part of it on the phone memory .

  • Plz someone answer me,, can we move app. To SD card?? Plzz reply

  • Can we move applications from phone memory to memory card?! As it has 4.2 jellybean!!

  • Powervr sgx544

  • 1800 battery maby it's bad ,,, but the memory ????? it's a 4 gigs internal with 1 gig ram

  • yup i didn't see the dual version

  • the camera is the best option in this phone, it takes photos better than my other LG L9 768. the screen resolution it fine, the camera has a nice image stabilization. it is one of best purchases

  • Does anybody know the price of the dual sim version in Paris? And whether it's sold unlocked or not? Thanks

  • The dual sim? 7025d or 7025x?

  • The one available at Rizkalla is the single sim version 7025x, I'm talking about the dual sim version 7025d..

  • Graphics chip: PowerVR SGX544

  • what's the GPU

  • is this phone has the same problem of stabilization of camera like alcatel other phones ?

  • Is it the dual sim version or not?

  • It is available at Rizalla for 1750 LE

  • it is avil now in egypt

  • alcatel's official website says that one touch snap records videos in 1080p by the rear camera , 720p by the front camera .

  • thanks first ,regarding the earpiece, i haven't experience any rattle . the voice is very clear and loud .the loudspeaker is good too . the phone is vey fast in browsing . the download speed is up to 42 mps like the note 2 . it does have a notification led . it notifies me for missed calls , msgs , emails and facebook notifications , but i'm not sure about waiting calls . for the camera i would say it is good for capturing photos for facebook but don't expect it to be your main camera . the screen has less saturated colours compared to galaxy and xperia phones . the screen touch response is great and there is almost no lag in games ( it has powervr sgx544 ) overall , it is great for this price .

  • I think it's not yet available in Egypt. I dropped a line to Alcatel asking if the dual version is planned to be in Egypt or not, still waiting for their answer, if i get any news, i will post here hopefully..

  • Have you found the dual-sim version??? Plz i want the dual sim vesrion in Egypt.

  • Congratulations :) I hope you can give us a detailed review regarding the call quality (does the earpiece rattle like most Alcatel phones?), loud speaker quality, rear and front cams,internet speed. Also,does the phone have a notification led? Does it show outgoing call waiting notifications? Thanks in advance..

  • Mobile in Egypt Market ( Avokato - Bab El louk ) Disadvantages : 1-Low internal memory 2-Low Battery Life

  • Select Mobile.

  • Where could I find it in egypt?

  • My uncle jst got me 1...2day...buh am thinking of opening a windows live messenger..ah also heard the games are cool...pls comment about the games reali wana knw more about it...here�s my email [email protected]...

  • Alcatel is the worst brand. It is a total waste of money. Invest in an Alcatel phone only if you are ready to throw away your money in the waste bin

  • Who used this phone (Alcatel one touch snap)? Please tell me, this good or not good? ThX..

  • It is not a rebrand from TCL. TCL owns Alcatel Mobile and they are using Alcatel as their international brand for now but soon, they will use TCL and drop the Alcatel brand. :)

  • Quad-core is not the only factor that your smartphone capable to 1080p full HD video decoding. GPU(Graphic Processor Unit) important for rendering best graphics. So do the amount of RAM.

  • this is very good handset

  • Are there any updates on this phone? It's already May. This is a rebrand of the TCL P600 right? It's sold here in aliexpress for a cheap price. But I'm still waiting for the Alcatel rebrand. Do you know where it is already sold?

  • even its a quad-core phone still can't record 1080p video, weird

  • I will be very glad to have it....I love it soooo much

  • I sooooo want this!!! :D

  • want a review

  • The phone seems to be good.Any idea when is it going to launch?

  • Good. Awesome but poor battery.....

  • I think I saw it in Egypt or it isn't released yet ??

  • I think it is available in Egypt isn't it ?

  • waiting in egypt

  • Its Beauty in smartphones

  • This is better for you then:

  • Does it support hindi language? What is the price of this mobile?

  • In China Market is called TCL P600 US$ 349.99

  • After all amazing features of what all lover people of dual sim cards...I shocked with the low rang of the BATTERY ONLY 1800.....why....why...you spoil the cake
