  • i forgot my pin code..how can i do??plzz help me.. onetouch glory 2s pro

  • Definitely not recommended. Plus: nice handling of the two sims, cheap. But what makes this phone completely USELESS is the low storage space combined with impossibility to remove or move to sd card the crapware which comes preinstalled. The storage space is not enough by itself to even upgrade to the latest version the preinstalled apps, unless you root the phone (which is far from easy for this model).

Can you please just sent me unlock puk of my ''Ge org!'' sim because im lost without my phone now thank you

  • those using this handset, how much is the internal memory? And how does it read documents and pdf? I would like to buy it

  • Is anyone here rooted their phone that came from a carrier?

  • use the other option given. (where it asks something like "if u don't receive in 60 sec click here" click the link , it will open your browser, select below generate. you will receive a phone call from vibre with a robotic voice which will give you your code..:D

  • Hi Tish, Just installed vibre on Alcatel OT-918D and it works just fine. first phone is rooted,have link2sd(to increse on memory. i tried to install through market but got an error message to install. so downloaded directly (Version: 2.2.3.109)from (http://www.mobyware.net) search for "viber for android" and installed on phone(make sure you have ticked "Unknown sources" under applications. when installing it will give an error message "not compatible with device" but select "continue anyway".....n there u go. success

  • Still looking for how to increase RAM but to increase memory for installing programmes: you need any size memory card (2gb,4gb,8,16...), your phone needs to be rooted, tick "USB debugging" and "Allow mock locations" in the Application settings, Development, Download link2sd from market and install. Thats all. It will use your mem card as storage. Problem: my mem card is not visible when i connect through usb and mount.

  • SO, others are telling that this phone is rubbish? Don't think this is rubbish, well yes, the internal memory, battery are weak, but we can still root and upgrade this phone. Some say they rooted this phone and the rooting is successful. They said the internal memory increased to 150 mb to 2 gb without any problems of some sort,like lagging and etc.well thats a miracle in this type of phone. Second is the battery, well we need to install a battery saver for it. But, overall this phone is great, but needs improvement. There are also commented that this phone has fast browser, connection, and etc. Don't regret buying this phone. I KNOW ALCATEL WILL CONTINUE TO IMPROVE IN THE FUTURE.

  • i did that root... "Can anybody help me? i have rooted my phone successfully twice via bluerai28 tutorials..( . thanks to him i rooted my Alcatel OT-918N.. just like that... i was so happy i did it right following his tutorial to the letter... but THEN... after a few hours of usage.. i've notice that Wifi is very Slow and i cant sync to my Gmail, PlayStore, Mail, etc concerning the use of Internet via Wifi... after 1 week.. its still the same... connection is on/off it connect for a while and not for a very long while.. so i decided to "unRooT" it coz i couldnt use the wifi... (not using wifi in a phone is a useless phone) so i did it via OTU (One Touch Upgrade).. it wiped out my data and Completely restored my Alcatel 918N to its brand new state.. THen after a while again... having a phone that is unrooted makes me feel powerless over my phone i cant tweak it if i want it...So i decided again to root it and carefully followed the tutorial if i miss something that caused the first rooting to be a failure... so i have sucessfully once again perfectly rooted my phone... anyways the main reason i ROOTed My phone is to delete the freakin SHutter sound when snapping a picture... (im not a Pervert by the way, i like to take picture in church and some quite places,and having that freakin shutter sound disturb other people.. so that's my reason why i Root..) enough about that justifying myself... i immediately check my wifi if i can sync and all... sadly i still have the same problem... i am begging to the administrator, MOD/ROM Master, TEchies and technicians... pls help me on this... email add is [email protected] THANKYOU in advance TO Bluerain28 i dont know what went wrong... tsk"

  • Hi Guys, I am trying to install and operate viber. I have successfully install it, but after submitting the phone no in viber, i don't receive the code. Any suggestion on how to get it going ?

  • Kindly instruct me how to do partition? thanks...

  • Pls point me to instructions how to root or more specifically how to grab 2GB space for memory. Great phone, just that can't use too many apps due memory limit.

  • bad phone...we cant stop the camera sounds...

  • Does this model of alcatel work in South Korea? Many thanks!

  • i have this phone and i successfully rooted it... and also increasing the internal memory using partition to 2GB. ..and now it works very fine ... more than galaxy ACE ..

  • worse phone I ever had, uncontrolable, a nightmare to hook up with Bluetooth, hate it, junk, junk,junk, tied in for two years, what a mistake, hate my server for recommdending it, after contract runs out, going to new server,

  • C'mon dude .. this phone ain't rubbish .. been using this for a year.. and it's working fine as hell

  • i find this phone cool but can anyone assist me on how to disable the camera sound?

  • This phone is absolute rubbish. It has never really worked very well from day one, but after about 2 weeks it started freezing. Shop would not accept it back because it was no DOA. We decided to put up with it because we needed it and repair would take up to 6 weeks, but the freezing was getting more frequent. It now freezes twice a day, but you don't always know if it is on the home screen. We were told to upgrage the firmware so we downloaded the program, but there is no match for this phone in the program and it wont let you go any further. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH What a load of crap. We have bough Samsung Galaxy Duos and are throwing the Alcatel in the bin after only 6 months. Don't buy one!!!

  • I have been looking for a dual SIM business phone for at least 2 years but they all were poor, so I just had to keep using 2 separate phones. Then a few weeks ago 1 phone broke, so I needed to replace it. I then decided now was the time to definitely get a dual SIM. So I researched again, but they were all craap. I gave up searching until one day I walked into a FNAC in France, by chance, and then I saw a very rare display of 5 or 6 dual SIM phones!!! They were mostly Samsung, but also there was this one Alcatel. It was on offer SIM-free for a crazy low price of $150 so I just had to buy it and now I am using it for 2 weeks! It is a very good phone. Not perfect, like all phones, but it is more important to be functional for my business and have 2 SIMS than to worry about one or two small issues. Well done Alcatel, you are actually better in the growing dual SIM area than the mighty Samsung or Nokia! Perhaps one day the dual SIM Galaxy Note will be great, but it's too big, like a tablet, but I only want a smartphone not tablet, so I will stay with the Alcatel for the next 2 years minimum.

  • Any had experience with this and has compare to galaxy Y? Could you share your experience. Also how the build quality compared to other phone in the same range? Thanks

  • Much as I wanted this phone, am no longer sure now going by commends on speed and camera night mode. Could it be modified?

  • does anyone know how to root may alcatel OT-903D?

  • bluetooth keep disconnecting in my car

  • This phones memory is pathetically low, you cannot install apps as you'd wish. The screen needs calibrating so badly, I had to search Google apps for a keyboard that works with this bad screen. The battery life depends on how you use your phone but otherwise it is ok. The camera is horrible. Overall I regret buying this phone.

  • in alcatel....the internal memory is very low..becoz of that i cant install the applications more..:(

  • This phone is quite good but u must root it for it to be much effective , the streaming of videos is quite good, the battery life depends with how many apps u r running wid u phone but its good , i recommend you install ROM andread 2.0m18h3v.4 its rooted and gives much internal memory u can USE WID U Phone Good Phone to Kip

  • lol.. flesh?

  • the camera options is sucks.and nite mode is not good at all.

  • Yes this is chaina pn

  • the camera sucks

  • This version needs to be polished the camera has no option for the shutter sound its annoying or did ijust miss it? i cant find it anywhere and the memorycard has no option of selection as well is this 3g capable? it seem like it has a cam on front.. hope there's an update on this

  • Great phone, rooted and have piled it with apps and is going better then my HTC Desire. Screen is a bit pants. My screen needs calibrating but there are no options to do so. Is very small for typing and with calibration issue... Has stopped me using it. I use it to just house my other sims and turn it on now and again to check for messages. If the screen calibration was ok then this phone would be great

  • YOu can root the phone, search on forum . xda-developers. com

  • Clock --> Alarm

  • This phone is great for beginners who want to experience the world of android. 7/10 for me.

  • download LINK2SD. it will give you the option to save your apps to you memory card.

  • There are a couple of custom roms. So if you google something like "alcatel ot 918-d + root (and or rom etc.) you'll find some. Be sure you can handle flashing roms.

  • I'm sure that the OT995 will give you much more phone than the P500. Compare the specs and the price and you know the answer.

  • i recently bought this phone after much thought and market research, Im very into technology a tech freak, and i highly recommend it so far!!! its truly a awesome phone for its money, its really worth it! i recommend it to anyone looking into buying a phone with its characteristics! even while typing an sms if u use alcatels software and not the android, its awesome, its has a smart t9 system that even if u mistype the character next to the one u want, it has a smart auto predict, and if u too lazy to type, u talk to it and it recognizes the word u wanna type, as for the total touch feature if u a fast user and the phone cant keep up with u, and android starts lagging, u use the home button to stop it, the sound is good on it, the camara, its quick, the touch screen is very responsive seldom lags, its a good little phone. so anyone thinking of getting it, its worth ur while!

  • Which is better: this one or The LG Optimus One P500?

  • No

  • M dialog box is crazy, my sent messages are all below and my receive messages are all on above and I have to scroll up just to read it. does it supposed to be alternating just like iphone dialog? How can I fix it. Need help!

  • Go to settings and open accessibility then turn on the hearing aid. Maybe that would help.

  • Its not that bad. I encountered the same situation twice. Maybe when you check if the phone if its charging, you pressed the home screen button so it would really stop charging.

  • How to kill tasks, where will I go? And how to put the applications in the memory card? I'm just curious... hmmm

  • I recently got the 918n and its ok, but when im talking with someone and i plug it in to charge it would start charging but would stop charging after sometime and eventually would die, does the phone prevent itself from charging if you are using it? Or is my unit just defective?

  • If you mean upgrade to 4.0 , then i'm sad to say this but its a bit far fetched. And the flash support is i think not available. (not an expert but i kinda know a lot of stuff.)

  • Hi. 3G in mobile telephony means it is capable of high speed mobile connection, allowing streaming, watching youtube, fast browsing. Video calling requires 3G or 3G+ capable phone. This phone mentions a secondary camera, this means, it is capable of video calling (without any extra software). Skype is optional software that you can download. Whether you can video call or not from Skype mobile, it will depend on a version of Skype that is installed.

  • got one for my daughter Janae, a 5th grade student, and she likes it better than her previous samsung corby. I'll buy one for myself next pay day he he he, my nokia e-series is not at par anymore with the new gen. android phones though it served the purpose.

  • Love this phone, bang for the buck at its price! Got it for 5.99k here at the Phils. You'll get dual-sim android phone, higher screen resolution than most entry level android phones. Battery is only the downside though at one day use with wifi, games use.

  • i bought this phone one week ago and it's amazing because the price is cheap for an android phone (P5,999 - philippine peso) and yet it performs more than what you've paid for. you can do facebook, twitter , youtube etc.. and the bonus is that it's dual sim! :) you can also use this phone as a HOTSPOT :) i super love its music player, the sound is so good, it won't hurt your ear.. so what are you waiting for, get one now! :)

  • This is already sold in the market in the philippines for only 5,999 PHP. the phone is really nice. very responsive and also the touchpad is very easy to navigate. games and its oter features are good. camera is also good except in the night. you can also install 3rd party softwares for this phones since this is a android OS and also it is 2.3.5 version. for budget wise people this is a very good deal for your money.

  • Pretty good phone except for the fact that screen keyboard can be too small for big fingers. Could have better battery. And for some reason Skype crashes just after login

  • Nice Phone! Simple and functional.I want one.Hope it will be pocket friendly. !st
