alcatel One Touch Star - User Reviews

  • Lol absolutely not. Even in the year you posted, this phone was outdated, even for a budget phone.

  • It's cute! The design? The OS? The battery? The camera? The screen size? They're cute at lot!

  • I've had this phone for almost 4 years lol. Great phone, all i've done on it is changing the original 1500mah battery with the similar one 1650mah from Alcatel OT993. Sensible extra power from the new one. Not realy good at gaming (low memory only 512mb RAM).

  • This was my first Android phone and I was hooked to the Android eco system, before that I was a Nokia fan,but android has a lot more to offer you, it was a great little phone

  • do factory data reset , but first copy all your files (pict,mp3,vid,etc) to your pc or sd card ,then remove sd card and reset the phone

  • Frantzeska replace the battery with new one and problem will gone

  • Hello friends i have Alcatel one touch star 6010D . I have problems with network. because my phone few days cannot continue saportet network ...please any solution to solve problem.

  • This phone seems good at first because overall the features it has are nice... but after a month of usage it starts overheating and the battery life falls to minimum. The only reason I am still using it is because my best friend bought it for me, perhaps buying a new battery would help but this shouldn't be a problem for a brand new phone.

  • Hello friends i have Alcatel one touch star 6010x . I have problems with ram because my phone is too hang ... any solution to solve problem.

  • Battery heats up badly

  • the one touch idol 3 is junk...really really short life and the octo core processor can't handle its tiny little life and over heats ... you will have a cpl more days then...FN reboot reboot reboot loop until it fries....F tards they put this on the market knowing it would happen....

  • All in all its a good phone but it gets hot sometimes and Facebook is very slow on it and it often crashed on other apps but for £50 brand new I can't complain gets the job done ....in the end

  • Oh i did, i took an axe to it and bought myself a proper phone

  • can i unlock my Alcatel one touch star moblie on the computer coz it lock in the pattern screen lock which i can manage to unlock

  • I have a problem device does not want to work and back again to operating mode

  • This must be the worst pice of s**t ever. Display is OK, everything else just makes you wanna take a hammer and...

  • This phone is the abosoloute worst phone I have ever owned in my entire lif . It was suggested to me by one of the employees at metro PCs, and evrr since I got the phone, I have experienced not on good thing about it. The camera quality is horrific. The inside camera is very zoomed in, dark, and grainy. The outside camera let's in a lot of light, but the photos are so terribl . I've experienced so many call drops and frustration in trying to call people. Even after updates, and scans for viruses, I have not seen any improvement in this phon . When I try to download an app, it stops at 93% and never downloads. I would not suggest this phone to my worst enemy. Please, do not give the company money to make more of these sad excuses for a phone. Spend a little extra money, and go get a Samsung.

  • Perhaps your home router can handle a limited numer of devices ... try to disconnect same of them and then attempt to connect with the phone

  • If u can use this shit u can use anything on earth.. poor camera quality, over heating, battry issue, flucting internet and call drops

  • this phones so stupid! had this phone exactly a week and four days and the battery overheated last night and fried. i luckily cooled it down with an icepack but if it does it again im definately returning it.

  • Iam using the phone for 1 year now. The phone is not connecting to my home wifi for the past 2 months. it connects to all other wifi networsk. other devices are connecting to wifi network at home. Iam unable to resolve this strange issue. can anybody help?

  • My battery overheats. Phone is 3 weeks old

  • Hi guys, I've been using this phone almost 1.5 years and do not recommend it due to : 1)Very weak camera performance vs. others with similar/same specs. 2) While charging, phone gets exteremly laggy - almost out of usage. This is a common problem and Alcatel did nothing to fix it, which I believe a simple software update would fix it. 3) Still with Android 4.1, no update yet. So don't expect any action from Alcatel. The only thing I am happy with is that dual-sim works very well.

  • I'm using alcatel onetouch 6010D. Suddenly the phone hang and cant go to the menu. Only can off and on the phone. Please solve this problem for me, either can use back this phone or not.

  • Can u use Viber on this ph without any problem?

  • Alcatel One Touch Star Lags , battery gets overheated, not compatible with HP Pavilion for android apps development. I can't test my apps on it. Battery life short. If speed is very important to you, avoid One Touch Star. Now am going back to Samsung, had a better user and development experience with my Samsung Galaxy s2

  • I might help you..

  • How long should I charge my alcatel. The guy I bought it from, said 16 hours. Is that true?

  • How much time will take for Upgrade S 2.8.0 for Alcatel One Touch Star 6010D? Whats benefits of Upgrading?

  • try ONE TOUCH Upgrade S 2.8.0 to flash the stock rom again!.. it will work :)

  • been usind it for five months now and just stopped functioning out of nothing. It cannot completely start

  • I have been using this phone for 3 months now and it served very well! though there is overheating issue for prolonged usage but how many phone do you now that does not overheat when used for long? technically it is sound, smooth interface an everything works fine! about the battery issue, yes it has less capacity for AMOLED display phone,but decreasing the brightness and using darker wallpaper can save charge. With full charge, I can use the phone for 12 -14 hours with average use (couple of hour net surfing, chatting through wifi, document reading, games, 2-3 hours phone call etc.)

  • I use Alcatel 6010D. It is a very good phone, except I can no longer receive yahoo mails. It suddenly stated to tell me that "your e-mail services stopped due to low storage" and goes a head to tell me that I can delete useless email applications to space. I do not understand. Can some one help

  • Volume not very loud can i increase it

  • i have this mobile really very nice and very fast but have one problem the battery bad if i will buy new mobile i buy alctel one touch ultra idol

  • I really like my Alcatel one touch star. Yes it doesn't have a lot of battery life but I've seen worse. If I haven't wifi turned on it can last for almost 2 days and it's a lot for a smartphone. I love the design. My only problem is the internal memory. I waited a lot to buy a sd memory card and it got stuck a lot. Now that I bought one it's performing really faster but as fast as it used to. should I erase everything that's on my internal memory ? did anyone experience the same problem?

  • Hello All, I've bought two alcatel 6010d phones. To be sincere Alcatel should return money to buyers for such crap (its not cheap phone as cost about 170 EUR/pcs). Phone turned off during first battery charging writing that is overheating. The same did second phone during third charging. Phone left 60-100mb of free memory during using and got hot during playing or internet browsing. The final that got me crazy was that battery got down after 14 hours of stand by. I got mad because ive spent money for such phone which is not really bad on paper. Ive look at interned for solution but nothing comes out so ive tried to solve problem myself. 1) you have to root phone with framaroot 1.6.0 2) install Antutu CPU master to set CPU and profiles Profiles are following (you are going to loose warranty with root): Main window: min 250mhz - max 1001 mhz, hybrid scaling profiles window: Loading : hybrid scaling, min 250 max 500 mhz Screen off: powersave scaling, min and max 250 mhz Using: powersave scaling, min 250 and max 1000 mhz Low power: powersave scaling, min 250 and 667 mhz Advanced I/O harmonogram - noop 3) turn off auto-brightness at options bar and in screen options (yes both as it's not the same) 4) turn on 2G net at network options - it limits transfer if you use 3G On this sets phone works now for 15 hours having 75% of battery after night standby on two sim cards, playing music for 0,5 h, 15min calls , and 15 min games. Heat stays low during loading. Now - Alcatel technical guys you - owe big apologies to all users for being lazy with software programming, and you owe me good beer :)

  • Been using since March 2013. Battery life is really bad. Have to charge about 2-3 times a day if I'm using the internet. First day of buying it and charging for the recommended 8 hours, I got a notification that said battery is overheating. And I get this on a daily basis now. Lags a lot. Apps take forever to open, if they open at all. Sometimes apps close on their own. Especially if the internet is on. Interface is bad at times too. Touch screen doesn't work well sometimes. Memory card keeps going undetected from time to time on a daily basis. Not sure if it's a manufacturing defect specifically for my unit, or every unit is the same. But if you're buying this phone purely for the dual sim card feature to make calls, and reply messages, it's a good phone to have.

  • Having owned this handset (OTS 6010X single SIM) for 1 month now, all I can say is : DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE. Even at the price point it is not worth it. 2 main reasons for this are: 1)Appalling battery life and 2)Appalling performance. The battery lasts no more than 12 hours on normal use (some texting, 40 mins calls, WiFi, some browsing (WiFi/3G). As far as performance is concerned, I regularly experience freezing, web browser closing for no apparent reason, the touch screen seems to be not very sensitive to touch (especially the soft keys). I purchased the phone believing that the 1Ghz dual-core would make up for the lack of RAM (512MB) but I was very wrong. My previous handset (HTC desire S - 1Ghz (single core), 768MB RAM) had far superior performance. Apart from this, the physical issues started within the 1st week. When the soft keys are on, the edge of the phone would let light through the area where the screen meets the chassis and if I squeezed between my fingers the light would disappear! As well as this, the rear cover became creaky almost immediately. Finally the camera is terrible. I don't buy a phone to take pictures but on occasion I would snap a sunset or something. On the HTC DS, the picture was crisp and clear on the OTS the picture is just awful, video recording is even worse. In conclusion, the only thing this phone has going for it is it's looks...

  • Have had this phone for the past 6 months and wassurprised howeasynit is to use this phone but....... After ab 3 months problems started . Phone is constantly blocking and this just when making a simple phone call . Whatsapp aplication works poorly as well actually any aplication related to internet works poorly and keeps being blocked . Tne issue has nothing to do with my local providor as i have been traveling the past months and using this phone with two different sim cards from two different providers and always the same problems . On top of all these issues battery life has gone from , when fully charged , a full day to maybe 6 to if i get realy pucky 8 hours . No this phone is useless as not performing will go and purchase a samsung galaxy and forget ab alcatel phones.

  • where to get alcatel hp and what will be the price? because the price here is in euro!!

  • I had this phone for a week now , and i say after using it its a good device in general except for battery eschew. Battery drains fast. But it still good handset for its price. My ex-phone was Galaxy Note 1 and i had sony xperia e for some while and sony ericsson models , i say no big difference , fas,neat and elegant over all.

  • Lumia 520 or Alcatel one touch star ...... BTW I heard a lot about the lag of this mobile and as you know android is always hungry for ram and battery.... A little help here :D

  • A good smartphone for the price BUT : - not enough of RAM - heat dissipation issue - frequent application crashes

  • Have been using this phone for the past 4 months . Nice thing and with all the features i personally needed . Purchase price realy cheap . Maybe battery life for heavy users as myself should improve . My next dual sim phone will most prob be an alcatel brand again maybe one with a larger screen.

  • Battery of phone not perfect but will do for 6 hours when in heavy use . Stand by can remain all day .

  • this model have long life battery ?

  • any custom rom for this phone? i screwed up the phone it is looping to start. i didn't cwm backup.

  • Guys , am very confused.. between Xpop and star.. They r the same in everything.. "almost" Except in two issues .. Battery and internal memory .. Star has a nice internal memory 2.5 GB .. but X'Pop has 1 GB .. Star's battery is lower than average between phones,, but X'pop has a nice battery for (average using.. not a very heavy user).. For me .. this is my first experience with smartphones .. and i know that most smartphones heat up and their batteries go off quickly by time .. My Usage will be .. web surfing(FB , Twitter and online news) and chattin.. no games at all .. not watching many vidz on youtube .. and ofcourse ,, some songs for fun and maybe some lecture or books in pdf format,, !! I am going to use 8 or 16 GB SD card .. and the internal memory is 1 GB ,, chattin apps will be whatsapp, viber and chaton or maybe LIne and wechat..(not all chat apps of course) and maybe a dictionary or a translator .. and ofcourse app to save the battery and organize the memory and organize my apps Does anyone know what are the apps that cannot be removed from internal memory ?? SO In ur point of view.. shall i go for X'Pop or Star ?? any help !!

  • To Be Decided !! by the company of course !!

  • it surely has radio, I own it

  • Can someone tell me what do they mean when they write on specs Radio:TBM does this mean that it has the normal radio that u pluggin ur earphones and u can listen,or does it mean sth else?

  • Can someone tell me what do they mean when they write on specs Radio:TBM does this mean that it has the normal radio that u pluggin ur earphones and u can listen,or does it mean sth else?

  • its great , like having an i phone with android but the only annoying thing is there is no switch on bottom below the screen , just in upper edge only its same specs as S3 mini , with half price good deal

  • use original one

  • bro don't buy coz phone is too slow and also hanging problem

  • I hate Alctel, they will never ever Update any phone at all, if your phone is ICS , it will remain ICS . They have never upgraded a single phone one OS version to Another

  • Hi, I have downloaded and am unable to run the software. how do i run it/install it to my Pc so that i can use it coz its a .tar.xz file

  • advise me buy it or no ?

  • I like it but it starts to get some unstability issues like blutooth ear phone disconnect s after 2 min , hulting and so ,,, its ok price with but I guess its few bugs in the system needs to be coverd in the next update some batt life bugs too

  • Check it there is software updates

  • The phone went dead after 2days of use. You cant power it on,you cant reset and there is no software upgrade for 6010D,though there is for 6010!Was it a test phone coz people are complaining that the phone goes dead after afew days of use and you'll not be able to power it on or do a factory reset!

  • same problem here (not most of the time).. the only way to avoid that is to switch the device off while charging.. However great is that phone, but still the "alcatel curse" exist..

  • this phone is great for the cheap price , i bought it 4 days ago . the only problem that when i connect the wall charger to charge the phone after 30 minuet message appears " battery is over temperature please turn off " if you ignored it the phone will stop charging , after a minuet or a few minute he back to charge and stop and back , until the battery going cool. but the charging from the computer don't do this Waring . where is the problem now is it in the wall charger ?

  • I have the same problem.. it gets too slow when u connect it to the charger.. there's no way to solve that except disconnecting it from the charger..

  • This phone or LG L7 II (not dual SIM)?!

  • Does anybody know why my phone touchscreen is diffucult to press or type when it is connected to a chrger?

  • You have to approach Alcatel service center contact me @alcatel0netouch in twitter

  • what can i do?this phone has worked for few days,screen went blank,unable to switch on?kindly help

  • i bought it and the screen went blank after 5 days of use cant switch on,when i plug in the charger steady charging light ,not charging,what could the problem be,kindly advice,i cant switch on

  • I've made the same comparison Menna..I was intending to buy samsung galaxy S duos.. I've found people complaning about the lag problems in the S duos.. I've finally got my Alcatel one touch star and It's really amazing.. cheaper with higher options like the dual core processor.. Buy the one touch star..

  • In that case the battery will last a couple of days. But in general, like most android smartphones you will have to charge the battery once a day. In the end you get used to it.

  • When you refer to the battery life being good, is this with the phone being permanently connected to the internet whith email and whatsapp running or without internet connection?

  • i want to ask you how long will stand the battery if you are using only for making calls or listening music ?

  • I would like to know if it is better than samsung duo or not ?

  • Best phone I´ve ever had to date, and I had many such as SGS2 and LG Optimus 4X HD. I bought it two months ago and I´m very happy with it. Not only it´s size and buid quality is great, but also the design of it´s icons. Very comfortable in hand and pocket. It´s like having an Iphone 4s with 4" display and android.

  • guys, do you experience problem with wifi connectivity? i have that a lot with android 4.1.1 and i have no idea what to do to stabilize it. does anyone had this problem/have a solution?

  • No NFC!

  • I bought it from AUCHAN . . . not in online store. . . . . and the battery is ok. yes like every android you need to charge it everyday. . . but even in 20% brightness the screen is lightfull.it is AMOLED:) camera quality is awsome.it supports even continious autofocus. . . sound quality is awsome.clean and sharp. . . no freezing. . . all around device for 119 euro. . .

  • I've got the phone 3 days ago.. This device is amazing.. Iphone look, great price, very clear and bright screen, Soft in hands, Dual core processor.. It covers all ur needs.. The Only problem is the Battery.. Battery Sucks! Even with the normal usage you have to charge it everyday.. I think the iphone has the same problem too..

  • what about the battery and camera ??

  • how did u get the discount?

  • can you tell me from which site?

  • hey guys i bought it today from france unlocked device for 119 euro // very happy with it ..... good discount 199 become 119

  • Yes Yam, it's actually free if you avail the postpaid plan in Sun (network provider).

  • got this phone for 2 weeks now its cool fast enough for me... just dont like the earphones that come w/ it it looks to cheap,, luv the phone though

  • Is this mobile usb on the go compatible?

  • Is this mobile usb on the go compatible?

  • used 1 month Good: AMOLED LCD, camera, look class, speed & price ok. Poor: Overheat, battery low capacity, HSPA slow, RAM 472MB low, radio & speaker.

  • Lockscreen sucks, 512ram good enuff but if 1G ram then it's awesome! Iphone5-look, rear design messy, camera blurry 2/3 times, unstable. Overall, 6.8/10 for a smartphone, 8/10 for a cheap smartphone.

  • Vedat hi, how about the 2.4GB user memory? is it sufficient enough? can you run apk games from sd-card? and can it also save the camera photos on sd-card by default? Thanks

  • Is there any way to increase RAM memory?

  • where can I find the single sim version?

  • Yes Brother! Its on Dual Sim phone.. you can use 2 Sim with 2 different numbers with 2 different networks aswell... :)

  • What is mean by optional dual sim? Does the 2 sim works togethet at the same time?

  • does anyone know how to update the software for this phone? mine now is using 4.1.1

  • I am using this phone for one month now In Malaysia. Excellent phone with excellent features at this price. Its got Corning Gorilla Glass which only high end phones have.Speed,user interface , wifi, looks are all great. Only downside is battery. It last two days with normal usage.

  • very good tel suitable price .suitable weight

  • what is the actual battery life? please for those actually use the phone

  • verygood onetouch star. turkey

  • I own this phone AND IT IS GREAT! It lasts 1,5 days with normal use!(around 36 hours). Maximum life time till now for me was 2 full days. Yesterday i charged it at 22:16(night) and next day morning (today at 8:00) the battery was at 99%. I talked to the phone for 4 hours with loudspeaker, i uploaded some files via WiFi (let's say 5 minutes on wifi), i read a paper(pdf) of 20 pages with speech-to-text while walking to go to the gym and now the time is 23:46(night) and the battery is at 13%. :D I think i will have to charge it again tomorrow morning at around 11 o'clock. So as far as the "talk time(2G)" i believe it will last for 6 hours with no doubt!!!

  • Is this available in the Philippines?

  • i don't mind the daily charge as long as it can last me a full 18 hour day with normal usage. i've tried the LG optimus 4XHD previously and the battery life was atrocious, it could only last me about 10 hours

  • Similar specs to LG optimus black P970 except with slightly better specs such as the dual core 1ghz cpu, Os and body design i'd buy this over lg

  • Great choice for >200� smartphone. With normal use (2-3 hours a day ) battery can live for 2 or more days..

  • where can I find this phone in Kenya please advice, thanks

  • @ jitoot, I must say, the battery life could be a bit better ... especially if using wifi. In standby mode the battery life is ok, but you will def have to charge on a nightly basis if you plan to actively use the phone throughout the day.

  • Does it have MHL?

  • hi guys, i'm interested in getting this phone, but just wondering how's the battery performance? 1500mah sounds mightily small...

  • I have owned this phone for about a month now. Let me tell you - it is perhaps the best deal around in the smartphone market today. If you want a proper smartphone, with at least dual core performance, the latest Android software, great looks, slim body, excellent screen resolution (so rich and bright!), excellent screen material, lightweight body, Dual Sim capability (yippee), decent camera, fast performance ... etc - then GO BUY IT!! I cant say enough great things about this phone - damn near perfect in my opinion. And oh - I almost forgot the best feature of all ... the PRICE!! Under 200 Euros (USD $260)!!! Great phone!

  • Better get this one ASAP before it is pulled off the shelves for ripping off the iphone 4S. It is nearly identical and with the iphone launcher, it is almost indistinguishable. Did I say it has dual SIM and a removable battery too ? Oh it is also expandable via microSD card and and charges via microUSB.

  • get this phone ASAP as it wont be around for long once Apple gets a hold of one. It is nearly identical to a an iphone 4S, and once you get the iphone launcher, it is almost indistinguishable

  • Does anybody know if its UMTS frequences are only 900 and 2100 MHz(Europe, Asia) or also 1900 MHz(Americas)? Some sites in the specs report the two options Thanks!

  • It's look and feel is really awsome. I was went to buy Galaxy ACE Advanced but after comaring with Alcatel OneTouch start I selected it and really worth it. There are many advantages on this phone like . Wifi Hostspot, AMOLED Screen and Dual Core processor, Camera is quite Fast but only disadvantage is Talk time ... its only 4 hrs which is quite less compared to other similar range phone. But considering price its most affordable with such funtionality!

  • The first time i saw this one , i thought it's an Iphone 5 .

  • this is a very good handset

  • It has removable battery

  • does it fixed or removable battery?

  • in this phone u can play any games it have gpu PowerVR SGX531 and cpu 1ghz dual core

  • how's the camera goes? s

  • avalaible in Kazakhstan 253 USD

  • this model have GPS with AGPS, i already buy one.the screen is AMOLED material,it is better than my colleague iphone 5 screen.

  • Its available with MTS Russia, 270 USD.

  • PowerVR SGX531, same as in OT997.

  • it shows in another website that there is no gpu for this phone. please say clearly about this matter.

  • dr admin please tell about its gpu version.

  • about 220 euro stop by mouse on price group

  • Where do you see the price?

  • looks like iphone....

  • very high price according to such specification

  • what is mean by optional dual sim ?? , is that like a dual standby sim ?

  • fab!i liked this cellphone its attractive good looking and very affordable price with such specifications

  • i like the design, it looks nice but i think it is overpriced. if it had a 1GB RAM and 8MP camera it would be worth the price and also worthy to be in my pocket.

  • Total I phone rip off.

  • very well

  • Good phone...
