alcatel Pop 7 - User Reviews

  • Trying to unlock sim me. How can I?

  • How to get twrp recovery for my device Please share the file or link with me and anyone please help me out

  • Its a budget tablet and covers more or less what it needs to...although itz not high-end if you consider performance,but still gets you where you need to go...but the CPU could have been better...

  • my wasup call line is not clear

  • the process.androidphone has stop

  • You can't guarantee 100% genuiness of the information you dispense here? Why posting something that's not genuine?

  • Why can't I download app

  • Agree wholeheartedly, worst I've ever had. Would never recommend and it's making me think very lowly of T-Mobile for offering it

  • my Alcatel often goes off unexpectedly,l just want to know if its a technical problem or there can be a solution. it works perfectly anyway

  • I have the same configuration and problem. Did you get yours resolved? I can make calls but no incoming. The banner on Goggle Voice tells me it won't work with TMobile prepaid. I understand there can be a "call forwarding" from the tablet to GV which might work. I have not tried that yet. Thanks

  • You need to install the Hangout Dialer App. Get a Google Voice (GV) Number. Verify the Phone. Then you can "make" calls. I am still banging my head against the wall to "receive" calls. Most documentation states that you need to "select" Accept Incoming calls on either the tablet or on GV. However, there isn't an option under settings for that feature. It is dated documentation (probably) or, since I can't "verify" my tablet via the internet using GV, it doesn't allow for the incoming option. Either way it is lame. I did verify my tablet using the verify process directly from the tablet. It does recognize it on the internet (via my laptop) as verified. I am using T-Mobile PrePaid and I understand there might be a problem. The question would be ... why? Anyway, I will keep plugging!

  • Going from "Jellybean" to "Kit Kat" is not an upgrade IMHO, With "Kit Kat" your apps lose access to the external SD card. KK is the Android version of Windows ME.

  • please assist i have only had this tab for less than a week yet it wont come off loud speaker. all my calls are on speaker mode please assist

  • it won't download and won't let me on face book it came in a package from EE

  • Shite it won't download and won't let me on face book....

  • I can't see the incoming callers number , how do i fix this?

  • I can't see the incoming callers number , how do i fix this?

  • How do i make cals on this alcatel tab... It doesnt even have a dial pad icon

  • I havent had this for very long. I am disappointed because the damn screen is either unresponsive or has a mind of its own. Is there a reason for this? What can I do?

  • To make calls, install the hangout calls app. Google "hangout phone call" on your smartphone and following the appropriate link, use Play Store.

  • Why won't this tablet make calls , or recieve them? And where do you find the dialpad? Can somebody please help?????

  • A screenshot is taken by pushing the power button and the volume down button at the same time,give it a couple of trys,it gets easier.

  • this tablet is completely trash i cant make calls or even install whatsapp

  • I got this for $40 and pay $10+ / month on my plan. Amaxingly slow and only 4Gb, and can't update my dictionary to fix typos.

  • The CPU is dual core android 5.0 will only run on quad core CPU so it wil not work on this tablet

  • Alcatel POP 7 Dual Core (T015) tablet is the worst that I used.Completely trash.

  • This tablet is 8Gb rom and have accelerometer and can be update to kitkat 4.4.2

  • How do you fix the problem when it says on your screen "launcher has stopped"

  • Terrible tablet, gives a lot of software problems

  • You put i extra memeory? How the did you do that? RAM is memory and can not be replaced unless you do some sodering work. You are talking about storage versus memory.

  • Anyone knows what's the provider id on this?

  • Please all people using Alcatel pop7 report the Alcatel company to do a latest version of android (lolipop) for the tablet because be faster and too smart please do this steps go to the feedback and ask Alcatel to do a latest version to this model pop7

  • Hi i want to make call with m'y alkatel pop7

  • Can any one make backup of alcatel pop7 4.2.2 from recovery And upload the backup Bacause iwant to donwdgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 Or link of 4.2.2 rom of the tab

  • I have this tablet and its agood its a 8gb not 4gb and it tablet can be updated to kitkat version

  • hi there. how do i check my bundles and make a call on my alcatel tablet pop 7? thank you

  • I don't have a network when I use mtn

  • I don't have a network when I use mtn

  • If i want to download any game from google play station its showing insufficient memory.I put external memory also giving the same message .How can i download games..please help..

  • I updated mine, I now have ma dialer, I can now cheack credits and more but when call a number it's not going and if call the number on it , it says out of service. Pls what should I do to get ride of dis problem¿ I went to mtn office and they told me to go and see a technician.

  • its a pretty neat tab which i have used,it makes call an is really smooth with the other app...but as always its best to have ur apps on sd card....

  • Very basic tablet. 3G only despite the fact that they claim 4G or HGPA+ which is not 4G. Now enough CPU power (dual core) to run GPS. Google maps stops updating after 3-4 min and freezes. Waze is the same, stops updating after few min and shows blank screen. Other than that nothing even to talk about.

  • The Pop 7 does have a microphone in the bottom of the tablet (relative to headphone/USB side = top). The microphone is pretty terrible, and I've had very little luck making phone calls through VoIP services (Google Voice/Hangouts Dialer, Skype, and 8x8 Virtual Office). Voice commands and voice recognition also suffer terribly with this tablet's poor microphone design.

  • You can't. There is no phone hardware in the Pop 7. It only has data capabilities with SMS messaging; there is no cellular voice available on this tablet (or pretty much any other tablet for that matter). Though you can't make a phone call directly through it, you can use VoIP services with it, like Skype or Google Voice, though its unstable 4G radio may provide less-than-usable performance there as it did for me.

  • Frustratingly underpowered, unstable device. Stuck on Android 4.2. Not enough horsepower to run Google Maps navigation smoothly. Slow, unreliable GPS competes for CPU time, sometimes completely freezes on startup and makes you wait for it to realize "GPS signal lost" and eventually recalibrates over 1-2 MINUTES. Sometimes the power button becomes unresponsive while the OS remains fully operational with no CPU load (then eventually just shuts off the screen and turns back on to lock screen after I've started digging into other apps/tools to diagnose - meaning it is NOT a hardware problem). Sometimes, the WiFi must be enabled in order for Bluetooth to work. The brightness controls embedded in the volume panel that set themselves will override the brightness set by the pull-down quick panel, meaning that if you set brightness in the quick panel then adjust the volume with the buttons, the slider panel will also re-adjust your brightness without even expanding it to adjust brightness. Absolutely god-awful camera, reminiscent of a PC webcam from 2004, not 2014. Front and back cameras are equally terrible. No focus capability, no flash, and even apps like "A Better Camera" with massive post-processing can't make a good picture out of its garbage. Why even have a camera? Its battery life is OK, though it drops like a rock under the load of Google Maps navigation. It's been able to support playing music (Rhapsody or Spotify), running navigation (Google Maps), and tracking location (Glympse) simultaneously, but struggles at this, with apps sometimes knocking one another out of RAM. Is this what I get for $150? I would've been open to another option other than Samsung (whose corporate behavior and feature-bloat isn't something I want to support), but T-Mobile only had these two 7" tablets available, and I'm not interested in a larger tablet. I've kept this tablet 100% stock, unrooted, as an experiment in how the device operates "as designed", and it's proven itself to have a few serious software flaws, as well as painfully underpowered hardware (its CPU and RAM are horribly limited).

  • Not turn on end not charge

  • How to update to 4.4.2?

  • How to set the tablet so that it can vibrate?

  • in terms of the vodacom tablet, the core function is internet and not calls. however, you can upgrade to android 4.4.2 and the calling functionality. Because its a tablet, sound is always going to come out of the loud speaker (same as samsung tabs).The only solution is buying headset witha a mic and use that to make ans receive calls

  • Bad camera.

  • I want to program my ALCATEL ONETOUCH pop to make phone calls. So what do i do?

  • If you mean the speaker that would be next to your ear when making calls then I donk think it has. You can make calls and it comes with earphones that has a mic so you can make private calls.

  • The camera whats up with that

  • How do i get the activation key from another phone?

  • Hi Guys i would like someone to clarify whether the device has a micro-phone in terms of its specs bcoz a Vodafone Tab 3G ( Vodacom Tablet ) does not have it but it has a software and firmware upgrade for making calls Thanks

  • I also went voda shop still I CNT make nor receive calls .....

  • in kenya we have it at safaricom shop..i asked was told it makes calls..but the specs are that its 512mb ram so maybe they are many models with the same name infact have seen peopl make direct sim calls with it.

  • I believe that this is a tablet and not a phone.

  • I bought my tablet 2 weeks ago(South Africa) and at first the phone asked for an update which I did and after the update, I could not make or receive any phone calls. I battled for days going through the software hoping to find the way to make or receive calls but with no luck. I took it to a Vodashop and they re-installed the software and from there on, I could make and received calls. I am very happy with my tablet now.

  • when I make our receive calls iits on speaker hence everyone can hear my conversations. how can I fix this?

  • Hey Phillip, most likely you have a defective memory card. try getting a new one or try formatting the card in your computer using an adapter. If it still does not format in your computer, it's a defective memory card.

  • Hey how do I upgrade to kitkat please?

  • I downloaded viber on my tablet and I made calls? I'm guessing its internet calls.

  • My does not read my memory card, I tried to reformat the card but still not reading.

  • Jst want to receive calls how do I do that ??? I don't even have a phone book on my pop 7

  • I have to agree with this. The only advantage though with having a dialer, is that its easier to load data and airtime to it. But i agree, anything bigger than 5.5" is a bit silly to want to hold it to your ear. heck, i still believe 5" is the ideal size for a phone right now.

  • how do i load airtime on it?

  • I work at Vodacom.. and um well of course you cant call from it its not a phone. Its a Tablet. People must stop trying to use low end 7inch tablets as phones geeez... get a samsung if you want to call from it.

  • Does it not support voip options? I.E. Skype?

  • Does it support instagram

  • heu guys i want to ask you about how to configure the wifi of this device i mean how to add mac adress and IPv6 and IPv4 address.thx

  • Probably because it's not a phone it is actually a tablet. If they are looking for a phablet then Galaxy Note or Z1.

  • Hi I have clients who love this phone but they are returning it because it can't make calls. I'm in Pretoria

  • its such i beutiful tab

  • How to make calls

  • Hi, Call function is available only in certain countries like Middle East or APAC countries. BR,

  • This tablet has no voice capabilities. You should mention that in the specs. BR

  • If it is a tab with removable battery certainly I would like to get one. Can anyone confirm if it has removable battery? Thanks.

  • Good design, but the specs is low. Should be upgrade
