alcatel Pop C1 - User Reviews

  • I really liked this device. This is my second favorite on Alcatel 512. She is now preaching her taste test on my mother's side. 👍

  • Second for me my first was the BLU Advance 4.0

  • lol this was my first smartphone

  • I think you need to reinstall software..

  • After 6 months it developed extreme problems

  • My alcatel pop c1 is geting wors when i tern on imust wait 2hours or 3 secon porblem with Accessbity service has stopped so can ido rebrogarm not restart

  • My Alcatel onetouch pop C1 developed a problem when I switch one it only displays logo (Alcatel onetouch pop C1) kidly help

  • the worst phone ever....dual core sucks..its good mp3 player thats it!

  • Use it as hotspot modem

  • What class of microsd memory need? class 10 work?

  • I love it, but when my hubby got his hands on it, I became an Alcatel Pop C1 "widow". But it has served him well. I will now have to get a new one and will consider chaining or bolting it to my drawer (ha ha ha). I never cared for Alcatel much, but this baby changed my mind (that is, the Alcatel NOT my hubby !!)

  • why is my alcatel pixi 3.5 doesn't even have a single gps..??😧😧😧 i'm so frustrating with it...i can't even use a google maps app...

  • My alactel phone did the say think

  • I bought almost 2 years ago been good done still is x

  • Xiaomi redmi 3 has better value

  • I bought this phone new for $60(AUD)/about $45(US) nearly two years ago and it has been excellent for the price. Battery life is not fabulous, but is OK. Camera is only 2mp, so you will never get top quality photos, but hey, you get what you pay for. If you want excellent photos, buy a camera. Internet, email,etc works well. It only has 2gb and 512mb ram, so not very fast and does slow down over time. Just back up and factory reset every 3 or4 months and all is OK. As long as you are aware of it's limitations, and don't pretend it's a Samsung S7, for the price it's a brilliant little phone, also very rugged. Excellent value for money. Recommend it to anybody.

  • Clean the lens

  • One of the best phones I've ever owned, lasted over a year (which is very good for me since my other phones only lasted a few months). Only froze up on occasion but very rarely, worked fast, charged quickly, was extremely difficult to break as I have a habit of dropping things and am extremely clumsy, but it was a survivor through and through. The only problems I had with it were minor, such as Bluetooth and storage but understandable! Had the best time with this phone and very sad to see it go after an ex-friend stamped on it ruining the lcd but still no cracks in the screen! Very unhappy that I have to throw it away. Honestly rate this phone 10/10 Absolutely brilliant.

  • it stucks all the time

  • if you ROOT the phone then Expect to be restarted by itself to install applications by itself to run silly things , this virus to control your phone phone is infected with a virus and trojan malware, this virus that sticks to your phones internals . Most anti -virus software will not even work try to unroot and hard reset and do not to complain for nothing because you screwed him and do not install games that are from an unknown source , because there are numerous viruses

  • if you root then it is virus there is no help , only reinstall new android software, but try to hard reset, hold down the volume up key and press power key at same time until the screen lights up to boot the device with recovery mode , and then press volume up\down to select the wipe data factory reset. this will erase all personal data from internal storage.

  • My alcatell phone give in trouble to

  • My alcatell phone give in trouble to

  • what's eating my data?

  • my phone keeps on rebooting ,shutting down automatically and freezing .why !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Root it with kingoroot. Add the root file explorer in the SU app. goto system/data/dalvik-cache and delete that file. phone should reboot & be fine after.

  • Worst phone i have ever owned. Keeps restarting itself every day.

  • The answer that was given is correct. The phone has RAM. The information given is correct. Some of the RAM is used by the Android operating system etc. The rest of the RAM is free for you to use. If you do not understand that, or are not willing to believe the truth, then there is only one thing left for you to do. Go to college and enrol in a course of Computing Science. Then you might learn something.

  • Vol key+ loch buttom

  • alcatell is better phone that i got used, if your phone is running slow make a back uu and then reset factory sething.when this process is finish make a restore and live your life with your machine

  • Keep talking to you ex

  • no, stop stalking your ex!

  • Blurry photos is camera app corrupted...clear data, or download opencamera & give it a try. Phone slowing up - try bigger better sdcard as it shares sd storage with phone. Clear data in media storage app. Look at storage in settings / clear cache. I run in airplane mode with wifi.

  • I would try giving the lens a clean.

  • The camera is not very good however for it's price it's a pretty good phone. You can buy it for her.

  • i need it for my 5 years old sister.its not expensive,should i buy it or not? can you sugguest?

  • In the beginning my camera was pretty good, but now all the pictures i take are blurry. Does anyone have this problem? If so, is there anything i can do against it?

  • Love the alcatel pop c1 just upgraded to one

  • Alcatels are cool af

  • Should I get this phone for my 11yr old daughter?

  • Hi I have just got this phone for my daughter. When I press the power button to unlock screen there is a 5 or 6 second delay before screen lights up is this normal or could the phone be faulty

  • With one touch movement, I can archive the emails on my Alcatel Pop C1. Once done, how can I view the archived emails please?

  • I have this phone and the picture quality is really poor and that is just the one problem I have with it everything else is good to go

  • Rooted it immediately with Framaroot. Runs nicely with all the Amazon and Google gone. Nice simple apps. ppi a bit low, no good as a porn cache! Battery does go fast, even with Gps & data disabled. Good wifi finder & reception though. Found the mediatek engineer mode app and keep it underclocked, but it will go back to 1GHz after a long sleep.

  • Very good first impressions. A fast phone (haven't tried any games, but I've bought it as a business solution) for multitasking calendars, voice memos, ms onenote and mostly apps for increasing productivity. The phone is very compact and looks nice, the screen is okay and even with the low resolution you can clearly see/scroll through your agenda and take quick notes, and even read through some news. I've filled the free 2gb mostly with productivity apps, but still have some space for 3-4 hours of 320kbps mp3s and for taking photos. The camera however is extremely bad, photos are blurry and sharpened at any setting and look like upscaled 0.5MP ones.

  • Dear sir- My Name is Sanjay.And i bought a ibea 3g smartphone pop c1. and in four month's my mobile is broken i mean its screen and touch are totalt distroy. i leav in dewas and my mobile screen and touch is not available in market. so please help me.

  • U better hard reset the phone by pressing the up volume key together with the power botton hold it until is on and then release them ..

  • Hi I repair mobile phones and I can tell you that most android phones do that it's worth keeping for its price 😊

  • The ALCATEL onetouch Pop C1 is a great Android smartphone. My C1 is running Android 4.2.2 flawlessly. The phone is fast enough for all my needs and let's me use email, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube with ease. The design of the phone is compact and fits my hands perfectly. The 2-megapixel camera is adequate for a phone. Battery life is decent and lasts a day or so. I recommend the Pop C1 to those looking for an inexpensive, reliable smartphone.

  • Hold the volume button and the power button simultaneously for a couple of seconds.

  • My god this phone really sucks! I've had it three months and it lags bad. It resets itself and freezes. The looks of it is fine. It just runs awful slow for me. All in all its a real bust. Don't waste your time with this piece of junk!

  • battery life goes quick af always go low

  • this lags a lot!! after while the keyboard doesn't pop up sometimes it doesn't turn on very frustrating !!

  • how to fully upgrade the whole phone

  • I have the phone: is fast enough, battery as like others max 2 days, no autobrightness , screen is very clear. i'm aware is a low end phone and don't install heavy applications. (i use whatsapp, facebook messenger, mail, onedrive, youtube) Until now is a good phone.

  • Are you on aeroplane mode? No service with that!

  • My alcatel has no service connection please help

  • Do you use the power saving mode? I charge mine about every 2 1/2-3 days. It has a better battery life than my friends galaxy S4. How long have you had the phone?

  • The battery life is shitty. This phone is fast enoought, but, the battery life is way too short. I have used the GPS, and it drains 1% of the battery on every 30 seconds.

  • da battery is life is sooooo dead man sed it goes fast cahh wen u charge it go fast buh wen u use it for long dis phone is low on battery lyk dont no y i got dis phone cahh mite get a blackberry coz even doe dis phone is android is alrite but battery life tut tut tut

  • does the C1 has capability for dual sim? And if so, how do you install the mini sim.

  • why does my phone use a huge amount of airtime.. .can i change it?

  • WFT! NO multi-touch! ???

  • what about the talk time of this phone? Is it true? 2hours & 48minutes ??? It's very low

  • On Android developer settings is always hidden. resetting your phone resets to default settings. Simply go to Settings > About Phone > tap Build number 7 times. Developer settings will be made available.

  • Cannot recommend! What type of phone looses it's development settings after a factor reset.... Alcatel to me is proving to be on lower side in the mobile market in this phone.

  • no device ever has the amount of memory stated, they state the nearest memory classification. if you can only find that this phone has 437mb RAM, that is what it has. the figure is merely rounded up to the nearest classification, in this case 512

  • No phones ram is exact. This is the way it is. For example a 4 gb flash drive is always seen to have 3.7 or around that

  • If you install RAM in a computer the integrated graphics accelerator will obviously need some of that memory to process on or you won't have a display, don't you think? In the BIOS there's usually a setting for allocating amounts of RAM to the GPU. Phones are no different. Obviously it would be too costly to shove dedicated video memory in there.

  • On every phone that has 512mb ram, in the phone it shows less because some of it is reserved for the Phone. My phone has 512mb ram but in settings only shows 435MB

  • And you are giving wrong information here, it does not have 512MB of RAM, it has exactly 473MB of RAM, plese do not misinform people here, thanks in advance.

  • It has 473MB of RAM. Regarding your insult, it tells a lot about you.

  • does pop c1 have proximity sensor?

  • To the owners of this device, can you tell me if the compass works in the device or not?

  • hey guys how can one get back to the accesibilty option.please help

  • Grow up!! This is just how RAM and smartphones work. If you dont like it, go build one yourself. ....and in answer to your question, it comes with 512MB.

  • This handset does not have a compass app as standard. You could download one but apps are only as good as the people who write them.

  • can you please tell me if the compass works fine in this device or not?

  • Still no answer to my question. I couldn't care less for excuses, LG and Samsung writes: 1GB of ram, and there is only 756MB of RAM, in some cases, and not always. Take Galaxy SIII, 1GB of ram, pure lie, 765 MB of RAM of which, 400+ is used, reserved OR WHATEVER the reason is, the physical installed ram is smaller. I ask the question AGAIN: How much RAM???

  • nyce phone...im getting one today...cant wait have seen it with a friend amazing...cant wait

  • Cool phone! I have been wanting this for a while and am finally getting it TOMORROW! I can't wait to try this phone! Looks and feels amazing! [Friend has one] and I am GETTING ONE TOMoRROW! Sorry I can't stress how much I have been wanting this phone! I LOVE YOU ACATEL!

  • Just bought this phone and so far so good. Great for the young and stylish and the User Interface is fun. And yes it supports whatsapp. It also really cheap. It was sold for about 75 USD in my country.

  • Just bought this phone and so far so good. Great for the young and stylish and the User Interface is fun. And yes it supports whatsapp. It also really cheap

  • no u are confusing something here, RAM for this phone 512mb but android will eat those ram for maybe 360mb-400mb based on company that create this phone, if the company using vanilla android(stock user interface for android)it will eat around 340mb ram so u will be left for 200++ but if company using their own UI like samsung touchwizz ot htc sense they will eat ram aroung 400++mb left for you 100mb or less

  • hey i have just checked the alcatel pop c1 looks stylish does it support whatsapp

  • What is the real size of RAM? 375MB? 200MB? I hate that RAM specs pumping, and that stupid comment:"The CPU needs to reserve some RAM" which is not an answer, not even a reason or explanation, but a lie.

  • y i CNT install what sup in this fone
