alcatel Pop 3 (5) - User Reviews

  • Hi. is this mobile support 256GB, Really? is it true?

  • Yah it also happens to me but I solved by turning the device off remove the battery,sd cardand sim card after that put it back then open problem finished that is the only thing i do.

  • Well, is a nice phone for those people who not need a very advanced device. I own this one BUT have not much space and is hard to update, so not much apps can be moved to the SD Card. Better have this for emergencies and few apps, not the bigger ones.

  • For 80 euros costs in Slovenia it is a nice and good phone. Better than my previous Samsung (300 euros) who had heatting problems. Only i am missing (AM)OLED display on the sun, because on the beach you see very poor with IPS displays.

  • The first camera doesnt focus, the pictures sucks

  • it looked nice at the first but after few days it wasn't able to accept any updates because of the low storage even when am not saving anything on it....After that it was showing no service while the Sim Card inserted, it was still under warranty so I shipped it to the Alcatel repair center (Order # 170615053) . After few days they shipped it back with a litter saying they fixed the problem. When i tried to use it, the same exact problem was still exist !!! They did't touch it...I emailed the repair center again and they have never got back to me...I don't recommend this phone to anyone... it is waste of money and time.

  • It says in the specs that this phone support LTE, mine doesn't. Any one here has LTE?

  • My phone is a problem please send a how to rectify the

  • li -ion batteries work better when you are not used to the end 0%,but most to 25 % and then put the battery to charge75-90% , ( why?) lithium-ion batteries have a rated lifetime of somewhere between 500 and 1,500 charge cycles. so if it reach 100% or less then 25% then it lose 1 cycle.(the user runs it down all the way to zero before recharging) can degrade to 70 percent of its original capacity in 300-500 cycles With a DoD of 25 percent, where the user plugs it in as soon as it gets to 75 percent remain, that same battery could be charged up to 2,500 times before it starts to seriously degrade. Charge a little bit whenever you can. Lithium-ion batteries don't respond well to being charged all the way up and then run all the way down. They take much better to little bits of charge here and there. What's far more dangerous to a battery's well-being is heat. Lithium-ion batteries despise heat. Battery consumption depends on the applications you have installed on the phone and working in the background even if you do not use the phone. such as; facebook, instagram, messenger so if you delete these apps and use them through the browser , thus saving up to 40% of the battery (day)life , the display put on minimum brightness and wi - fi, bluetooth,3G use it when you need.

  • I have alcatel one touch pop3 (5) phone but the battery is very low, all I have to do is to change this battery but I don't have idea if where I can buy the battery & how much the battey is?

  • I have pop 3 5 but front camera is 8mp and facing camera is same 8

  • This is one of badest investments of my life. Processor is to slow. Camera is to bad and screen suck. I don't recommend to anyone this phone. Also this shit have problems to install apps

  • yes it has front facing camera of 2 MP. Alcatel pop 3(5)

  • Yes it does, but both of them are in very low optical quality. Also, phone-processor is very slow.

  • Does it have a front facing camera?

  • root

  • Try to turn off the phone and remove the battery then leave it at 5-10 min then return the battery and starts the phone, if that does not help, try the ''factory data reset'', and the last option is to go into service.

  • I just bought my Alcatel pop 3 phone a moth ago. Unfortunately there is already a small horizontal lines (stripes lines) almost 3/4 of the screen. Is there any solution of these before I will surrender to a technician?

  • it came with a otg cable wired

  • excellent

  • How i on mobile data?

  • This phone does not support OTG, but will connect to laptop.

  • Latoya , here's another useful information for how to charge mobile phone battery; li -ion batteries work better when you are not used to the end 0%,but most to 25 % and then put the battery to charge75-90% , ( why?) lithium-ion batteries have a rated lifetime of somewhere between 500 and 1,500 charge cycles. so if it reach 100% or less then 25% then it lose 1 cycle.(the user runs it down all the way to zero before recharging) can degrade to 70 percent of its original capacity in 300-500 cycles With a DoD of 25 percent, where the user plugs it in as soon as it gets to 75 percent remain, that same battery could be charged up to 2,500 times before it starts to seriously degrade.

  • how to connect with your laptop?, first need to put the SD card into your phone, now needs to have information, (pict mp3, videos, etc.) connect with your laptop via usb cable and the screen to be used and you'll get information that you bond with your laptop and click to install a driver, when complete press part where is presented the information is that the USB connector, press twice and it opens a new menu with the ability to connect with the USB Memory or only charging , Mark for USB Memory back and pull down from top of screen and you see usb is connected press on now appears android icon and press to connect with the memory, again press on ok and now on the screen of your laptop confirm the connection or continue withoud scanning, open folder to view files, and now you're in your data card, so choose the folder to exchange data with the copy \ paste method . When finished, open the screen of the mobile phone and click on the turn of to preserve information securely. I hope you succeed.

  • Why is it that my brand new phone has to be turned off to be charged? It will not recognize a charge when it is turned on, nor will it recognize a connection to my laptop whenever I connect it via USB cable.

  • Whey does me brand new Alcatel One Touch Pop 3 (5) SD Card uninstall on its own from the cellular I would like to know how could I fix it

  • My phone has been locked. What can I do to unlock it.

  • Be sure that all the contacts are in the sim card then remove the SIM card and put it in another phone, then opens the contacts -menu -import \ export- select sim card -next -select phone -select all- and mark to transfer to phone- and almost completed except if you want to transfer contacts to a new sim card, then following the same procedure only the first to pull out this sim card from which you copied the contacts, then put a new sim in the phone , and now contacts that are in the phone only transfer them to the new sim card or can remain in the phone ,or to have them in both places.

  • i have POP 3 (5.5) , i want to export the Contacts to another phone , normally i do one of the following: Export to SD or transfer via BlueTooth nothing of the above is applicable in my POP ... how to Export to another phone ?

  • Odd I have all of my apps/games on my SD card. sometimes it resets to store on phone which is a pain. Have to go back and reset to store on SD card. Open settings/storage and the top items should be where you want to store downloads and data. Under apps you can pick an app and move it from phone to SD card and back at will.

  • best to do'' factory data reset'' to return to the factory setting , because, maybe you did something wrong.

  • What troubleshooting procedures you can provide now to enable me to use again my pop3 (5) touch screen is not responding to operate it, only green line surrounds the apps when touch, but no re-launch or launching any fuctions!

  • I wouldn't recommend this phone. You cant move/install apps to memory card, simply because there is no option for it in the settings and 3 gb of local storage for user to use is not enough for much anything.

  • I have the Alcatel one touch 5056 in my opinion it is the slowest phone I've ever had. I regret purchasing it.

  • no support otg

  • Iv had the Pop 3 for a whyl now .soo far its been a good performer. However i only have 2 concerns with it. 1. The "running apps" button, the square one, i was hopping that it would function as an option button when u press and hold it and an options panel would pop out, just lyk with the samsung s5. Tried searching the setting, but found nothing. Its there a solution to this? 2. I bought an OTG flash drive recently but when i tried plugging it on te Pop 3 , nothing happend. But when i tried it with samsung phones, the otg worked perfectly. Does the POp 3 not have OTG compatibility? If not, is there a way fot it to be compatible? Like apps or rooting? Thanks in advance!:)

  • for Vietnamese language or keyboard ,download from play store install and enjoy

  • Vietnamese language I need someone to help me with

  • Download mx Player and wma files will play

  • 1. remove battery put it back and restart the phone. 2. if wont start normaly then pres power button for more than 7 sec, 3. and finally hold down the volume up key and pres power key at same time until the screen lights up to boot device with recovery mode and with volume up \ down key ,select ''factory data reset''. If nothing helps , then ask for help in service for phones

  • Has anyone dealt and fixed the problem of a black screen, and the phone not working at all.With the alcatel pop 3(5) version? My sisters had this pop 3(5) phone for some time now, and early today she ran into this problem.I've been reading about this problem and the solutions to it, but in other phones. Will the vids on youtube about the black screen fix work on this phone?

  • Im using this phone for 10 months. Super good at performance. Don't heat much unlike other leading phones. But the primary cam is kinda blurry or bad as longer i use it. Front cam is never bad. Totally love it for a cheap price. Also i played pokemon go always says gps not found. Never lags simple and handy.

  • ''windows media files '' need to convert to ''mp3 files'' that could be played on the phone

  • When I transfer songs from my computer to this phone they don't play. The wma files show up in file manager of phone but no play?

  • video call settings; go to settings, call settings, video call,and mark all except , auto drop back. to make a video call you need to thurn on data connection, then in people select one number which is also linked to data connection , and then open the selected number of contacts,, now you see next to the number 3 icons with 3 possibilities ''telephone handset for ordinary telephone call'' , then a ''telephone handset with the image to the video call'' touch the icon and there you video call. and the end the icon is for messages . if I've helped it is good to give thanks.

  • ok because you admitted to what I wrote I give you a useful advice; use some tricks you could make your battery that lasts longer, and live longer. never let it go below 25 % and do not go above 95 %, cos, every li - ion battery has a limited number of charge cycles 500-1000 depends on the manufacturer ,because when it reaches 100 % , then the cycle is finished and counts, but the same and when he went below 25 % to keep it between 25 to 95% the cycle is not counted and prolongs battery life. need to know , that li- ion batteries do not like when completely empty and completely filled , so put the phone on the charger whenever you are able to , because it's good for the battery.

  • How do we set up video call for this phone?

  • true, I didn't know that so when I read here that it was 8 I thought I had some kind of a bad knock-off

  • Comrade, internal memory of the phone is ; total 8GB and is divided to *4GB for android system* and *4GB for user *, you only see what remains to you for use , is now clear .

  • The real memory is 4gb, not 8

  • internal memory is for android system and the applications that go with the package , and those that later you install. to what you put 32 GB SD card can not to enlarge internal memory , means SD card is to save data ( pict , video's ,mp3's , ) but some applications can be transferred to the SD card, but if you take out the SD card ,can cause problems then there is sweeping the phone and later these applications will not work , so you have to reset the phone. and reinstall the application. internal memory it is impossible to increase . the SD card, use to save your data on it And you should know that the internal memory is divided into 4GB of system and 4GB for user . total 8GB

  • I have the 4G Pop 5 8GB internal memory expandable to 32 GB. I bought a scandisk 23GB SD card to boost teh memory but cant seem to get an more than 1GB on it. Warnings pop up on teh phone as I near the 8GB full capacity internal memory. Is there anyone else with this problem? Is there a support line I can call about it?

  • There's a 5MP front facing camera and an 8MP rear facing camera

  • installed Pokemon GO and apps says GPS signal not found. Location GPS services are on, does this phone support GPS services ?

  • Volume button is below the power button , I can not believe you did not know that. it's like to ask, how to open the door ,, of course- press the knob.

  • Hi! Can some tell me how to increase the volume during a call?

  • 3G model it come with 5mpx camera , 4G model it come with 8mpx camera.

  • Hey, can someone explain to me that '' 8/5mp'' camera? I don't really understand... Do you change it in the settings of the camera or what..? Thanks in advance!

  • yes for keyboard You can change the font

  • is a GPS the same as a Gyroscope? NO Not even close! write on google ''what is gps'' then write ''what is giroscope'' , and you will find answers.

  • To compare to the samsung phone then Find an appropriate model , and add to that the cost of the phone ,,, are you sure you have not forgotten anything ? I have this phone 4 months and works great, to what was presented by you can be if you do ROOT the phone or did something else experiments with the phone . I have a Samsung I9500 Galaxy S4 and after less than 2 years of phone began to heat up as the iron of it self , I thought it would be melted , and later it turned out that battery died so I had to buy a new one. now here at the same time I bought Alcatel Pop C7 , buddy phone and after 2 years doing great, are not at all heated a battery lasts just as it is new, so I decided to buy aAlcatel product again . note; for samsung I paid exactly 400 eur but Alcatel cost me only,120eur.

  • Is a GPS the same as a Gyroscope? Or are mobiles not fitted with Gyroscopes only a GPS because I downloaded the app Sky Maps and I cannot get phone to respond properly i.e. If I point it in a westerly direction the phone says it is facing east.

  • The phone is crap. The keyboard freezes during typing. Predictive text is the poorest in the Android family. Battery life is very poor. It can't reconnect to wife if you leave the coverage area and come back unless you prompt it. At times it does not show the arrival of WhatsApp messages or emails unless you wake up the screen. Its the worst Android I have ever used. It looks like a toy when compared to Samsung.

  • Can the phone change font?

  • Can you change font on this phone?

  • I purchase Sandisk SDDD2-064G 64G OTG Dual Flash Drive, and its no working @ my phone,is it possible to use the storage in my phone? How?

  • You get features that is enough for how much you have paid. Battery life is reasonable, camera and graphics are not much good. Touch screen is not worked well for me, not much responsive display.

  • You've got too much running in the background. Made the same mistake as I got 2 days when new but had gone all the way down to 8hrs. Can go to apps in setting and then hit Running to see what's going on. There are lots of free batt saver apps. Most will shut off what your not using until you need them.

  • all model with 5'' display is only 3G but 5,5' display is 4G

  • I got one with model number 5015E. And its locked with a philippine service provider. How can I get 4G LTE signal? Im already using an LTE SIM card. Network settings only showing (2G/3G). thank you!

  • What sensors does it have?

  • How to use LTE on alcatel pop 3 (5.5)?? Can anyone help me please. Im having a hard time using data connection but over all its greAt.

  • I hate the batt life. Overall the phone is ok. just the batt life. I'm on data and wifi the whole day. i compared it to my other phone MyPhone My31, batt life is way better than this POP3. sometimes it freezes for a few secs like about 5secs. hate the batt life really, I always bring my charger with me

  • its great

  • I had this phone for almost a year now it worked very good , the battery life is awesome and it never froze on me at all.... you should try and have one....... GREAT PHONE...thanks ALCATEL........

  • I have this phone and it worked very good

  • but normally it shows 4.6GB because android 5.1 uses the remaining memory About 4G lte how to use it you need to call your operator

  • My pop3 (5), in the storage settings, only shows 4.60Gig internal memory and 1G ram. I got it as part of the bundle plan from smart. When I check on the preferred data connections, it only shows 2g/3g even if my SIMcards are both LTE. How do I check if this phone is really an LTE capable?

  • Have tried POP3(5), I usually go for samsung, so far am satisfied with my alcatel.

  • after 3 day's of use ,,, wery good performance.

  • whether the battery can last 2 days with a few calls and about 1 hour to use for viber and internet per day. model ; 5015x - 5'' display, 1800mah battery thanks in advance

  • I have the 5.5 version of this phone that has 13mp rear camera and 8mp secondary camera. This phone is amazing, sleek and fast especially when using wifi. The battery life is amazing i rate this phone 9 out of 10. Value for money and it's affordable. It has the same specs as the galaxy s4!

  • I had this phone and it's doing great! Sleek design and very light! I think you should have it too!

  • Who's better phone LG l70 or Alcatel pop 3 (5)

  • Awesome.total, 4'5gb,camera,+2,4+4mgpixel,rest awso

  • Awesome.total, 4'5gb,camera,+2,4+4mgpixel,rest awso

  • Yes

  • It's a good smatphone in general, the only problem it's the battery, says that get 540h but in reality get in maximum 24h, so battery sucks, but still be a good phone, fast and usefull, but need a better battery.

  • Where to locate the sim card slot 2? Can't see it at the back of phone, only see ducats slot 1. Please advise. Thanks

  • yes 2 micro sim.

  • I bought a Pop 3(5) some days ago. It looks great, but none of the cleaning apps I installed and tried worked very well. The cleaner which came in the device helps, but not enough, I think; it seems not all the cache and not all the junk files are cleaned by this cleaner, and the temperature in the smartphone keeps usually over 40° celsius. Have anyone here had the same problem??

  • LTE is 4G

  • Long Term Evolution

  • What is LTE ???

  • Yes

  • Hay 3 versiones, 13 y 8 mpx es de LATAM

  • Is it dual sim?

  • Is it dual sim?

  • I have issues with the camera shutter sound I need help about it. also the battery is giving me a lot of issues

  • I have this phone and yes!! totally satisfying. And it has no autofucos but have face detection feature on the camera setting.

  • it looks like the battery is worn out because you do not need that to charge to 100 % , but 95-98 % because each battery has about 500-1500 cycles and it could reach that number , but try install -ds battery saver- or- du battery saver- from playstore it could get more time on your batt.

  • iam using a alcatel aurus iii mobile but the battery is getting down for example while i charging the full battery after 2 hours it will be shutdown so in this alcatel pop3 have any such type of issue so then please tell me

  • So far so good the front camera is great but why its divided for the 8gb internal.

  • the primary camera is 13 mpx? .... i don't undestand to refer 8mp/5mp

  • no, is not, grand prime is best

  • very nice phone.

  • just some corrections front and back camera is 8.3 mp. no autofocus cpu is a quad 1300 gHz armv7 from mediatek gpu is mali-400 battery is 1800mAh

  • I like the phone very much!I have no complains so far! :-) it's fast, camera is excellent.. battery life is good..it doesn't heat in my hands.. So far so good! I am satisfied with this phone!
