alcatel Pop D3 - User Reviews

  • i feel the same way about my phone i strugle to even see the contact list and when i got a call it takes a long time to respond to simply answer the comand to answer the call

  • When i have in 32 g sd card it js saying damage sd card amd i have to restart phone to make it work and when i put it in a different phone it works what shall i do anyone plz

  • A great budget smartphone. Affordable and has everything that you need. Dropped it multiple times but yet it's still functional. Kudos to Alcatel and hope to see more cheap phones, but yet with comparable specs as compared to other brands, from them.

  • go to web and in search bar insert kingroot apk

  • The recomend maid for this phone is exspendeble to 32gb

  • Hold power button and down button same time you should be able to see image in statusbar if you dont nkow what is and statusbar try to place finger on top of front speaker slowly slide finger down you should see the statusbar

  • My onest opion it is not all that great

  • go to settings go to homescreen and swich to the louncher you would want to use to delete launcher if not accesseble in menu in settings go to application look for launcher name of icon and click on it then you sould see uninstall click uninstall and a worning will popup to you wish to uninstall just click yes and that is all you need to do

  • Long press on the contact it works for me

  • Your phone probly frozen because you might have drop it in the water best solution for this carefully unscrow phone then open phone make sure their is no water inside if their is any sign of water in phone carefully use a soft garmet and dry water from in phone next close phone scrow in all scrow and you phone should be back to norm

  • Maybe you should try and update the software using alcatel onetouch upgrade to get it goto alcatel onetouch site and look for version alcatel onetouch upgrade version 4.2

  • if it is not so far proved a problem , then there will be no problem , my so far has fallen at least 10 times and works excellently enjoy

  • my phone accidentally fell from the table this morning. still working not broken and no scratch at all. but will this cause me problem soon

  • according to every other source this device supports 850/900/2100

  • virus - trojan from playstore download CM SECURITY Only with this application you can get rid of viruses and Trojans then come back here to tell whether it helped

  • my pop d3 always locks me out so i wipe n reset n the same thng hapens time n over n solutions someone please

  • These symptoms indicate that you wrote only that it is infected with a virus , trojan malware, that's what happens when you do root your phone. please do root and create a brick from the phone and add the figure of over 1 million infected phone for 2015 if you want to work as it should, then do not ROOT .

  • Dont haha

  • I feel very bad for this pop d3.. it is restarting everytime.. and always lagging. I reset it so many times but still having the same difficulty.. how to fix this problem?

  • Well, its kinda unfair to make a statement "android>ios" using iphone 3gs which was using outdated ios. Nowadays it is better to realize that no OS is superior than the other, you just need to know which one suit your preferences and budget well.

  • my phone has just gone off, when I switch it on, its showing the flash light but cant open completly

  • can someone help me with my phone because after its turned on its frozen can someone help me with this problem

  • I had use this phone for about 4 months due to my broken samsung galaxy tab 2. Overall, it is a very impressive phone and had very few of lagging issues. The minor problem is it had very small storage, so you can't download apps freely and sometimes you can't take any picture. But, the thing is you just need to manage the storage smartly. Although it is had only 5MP camera, for me, I'm really satisfied with it bc I had the habit of taking picture of landscape. Sometimes, I took picture for my notes and the picture taken is very clear and good for my revision compared to samsung galaxy tab 3's camera. This phone is quite light compared to the other phone of it size.

  • I switched from Apple 3GS to Alcatel One touch pop d3. I was very impressed with the new interface, the integration of most google apps is very handy (android > iOS). I was on a budget so I purchased this phone from my carrier for about $120. For the price, it seems to be able to do almost everything my old was able to do. It's almost been a year, and I haven't had too many issues, thought at times it can be lacking. (Price: 5/5) The camera is unable to focus on text. I used to take a picture of posted notes/signs so I didn't have to write down a phone number. This phone seems to be unable to do that. When I attempt to take a picture of text, it shows up as really blurry. i.e. probably needs more pixels. Because nowadays the camera is a very crucial part of the phone, I'm going to rate it harshly. I would've been happier with a single camera with more pixels than dual camera with low pixels. (Camera 2/5) Although the space on the phone is suppose to be 4GB, I only had access to about 1.4GB. Which isn't a whole bunch of room after you my music and pictures, let alone videos. But it is expandable via microSD for upto 32GB and the phone picks up the data very nicely from the sd, and can format it too (HDD/Capacity: 4/5) The response is not as fast as it can be. RAM is only 512 MB, so you can't have too many applications/services running in the background at the same time. (RAM 3/5) One thing I don't like about this phone is its tendency to pocket dial. I have dialed strangers, friends, and even 911/emergency services. So you have to be very careful, and always make sure the phone screen is off before you put it in your pocket. Overall the phone is very good for price paid. The information I've given isn't conclusive but if it were, I'd rate this phone 4/5 overall...given the price.

  • Worst $50 I Ever Spent Just Turned Off And Never Turned On Again

  • why ican't switch on my phone?

  • my phone always cannot detect sd card. How to solve this? I have to restart it everytime it lost the sd card.

  • Use kingroot (crown logo,not flash logo) to root Alcatel pop d3,it work 100% on my Alcatel one touch pop d3 4035x

  • why everytime i throw this phone it wont broke?

  • 2gb use for the system...many phones stated they have 16 gb internal but we can use only 11 gb because of the system

  • install the nova launcher..it is faster...and antivirus and cleaner ..

  • install the nova launcher..it is faster...and antivirus and cleaner ..

  • Me & my huby just bought this hp. But then, recently it gone jammed & stated thr.. " Unfortunately, alcatel onetouch launcher had stopped"..if 1 hp nevermind..but, both at once?? Why.... :-(

  • I have used a 16 GB card the entire time I have owned this phone and never had any problems. I recently switched it for a 64 GB card and still no issues, if there is a problem recognizing and SD card, you may need to try a more reputable brand. So far as a 4 GB internal storage displayed on the site, the Android system loaded on to the phone takes away from that space, effectively providing only 2 GB of usable space. Overall the phone is okay for the price, but don't expect to do anything intensive with it as it will start to lag pretty quickly once you are running multiple apps in the background. Hardware vs Price - 7/10 Build Quality - 6/10 Power - 4/10 Overall - 5/10

  • Should I buy this phone? tq

  • I have this phone and this phone can only detect 1GB micro SD cards. Bigger capacity than that will produce and error message saying SD card is damaged and need to formatted. I try to format it using the phone but same. I mount the SD in setting also fail. I have various brand of micro SD also same issue. Anyone else facing this problem?

  • This phone only have 2GB internal space not 4GB as it displayed on web. Please correct the memory specifications. TQ

  • I like this phone.... thanks alot.

  • Which One Is A Better Choice Between The Pop D3 And The Huawei Ascend Y330?

  • What is the recommended make of a micro-SD card for use in this phone, and how does one switch usage to this micro-SD? And will usage of the micro-SD card significantly reduce the frequency of pop-ups of clean-master, which always indicate need to free more space? Lastly, what is the recommended percentage usages of the storage and RAM for optimal efficiency for this phone?

  • hello, i have issue about the messaging. there's like haptic feedback or vibration every time I type text. I definitely checked and modified settings, but nothing has changed. pls help me. thank you

  • hello, i have this phone, Alcatel One touch D3 and there's issue on the messaging like HAPTIC sound / vibration every time I type. I definitely checked all setting and modified. but nothing has changed. please help me. thank you

  • Go to settings then go to about phone. Tap build number several times until see a pop up which says you are now a developer. Go back to settings and now look for developer options. Go into developer options and look for Select Runtime. Tap that option and then you will see Two options, Dalvik and ART. Select ART. The phone will then ask you to reboot it. After the reboot, the phone may be more responsive but it take a day or to see best results.

  • How to switch on art something so that i dont need to recalibrate my touch features? What are the steps?

  • How do i turn on the speakers on this phone Alcatel pop D3// Thanks a lot!

  • einstein, switch to ART to solve the screen calibration problem

  • Screen is un-calibrated, changed it (by warranty) and it still is the same. FLAWED DESIGN

  • can sumone plz tell me how do i root this fone...ive tried numerous methods an none of them have worked...plz help!!!

  • Yeah, I'm interested in this as well. I suspect my phone may be refurbished and both ##786# and *#*#768#*#* do not work to find out.

  • Any Root Method This PHone Freeze a Lot

  • what's the chipset?

  • i haven't more info about this phone

  • Bought the phone from Russia. Switched language to English, as my Russian is not fluent enough. Some parts of the interface still remained in Russian. Also, the interface freezes kind of often; I may be opening an application, and nothing happens, I have no return to the home screen, wait for that to load, and start again. Wifi shows it's on and connected, but regularly stops working. Apps don't update properly even when there's nothing wrong with settings or connection. Overall, everything seems slightly clumsy and handicapped. One may feel tempted to say this has to do with the fact the phone was bought from Russia, but it's still the same phone, so I don't see why that would be the issue. Maybe I just lack patience idk, but I would NOT recommend this phone, it's extremely frustrating and clumsy to use, and does not deliver its promises.

  • you have to copy contacts first to sim after copy in handset it will work

  • this phone is compatible to play with coc?

  • It is a good phone for an average user. Battery can last a day but needs recharge after. Get the 4037a model. This has 1gb of ram and 3g bands are 850,1900,2100.the other models have 512 mb ram. The camera is not autofocus but takes good pics. There is something called power save on my own that came installed that shows signal strength stronger only when in a call. When not in a call only two bars show. Calling is good. Wifi and 3g works well. Wifi direct and hotspot also.subway surfers and temple run give no problem on this model. Screen is good. Front camera works with skype. Actual user.

  • I transferred my contacts to my new Pop D3 from my samsung. it turns out that some of my contacts can't be recognized when either receiving a message or a call. Does anybody know why? I tried using different messaging apps already just to see if it's the app that has a problem. some of my contacts still can't be recognized.

  • you guys am asking for ur honest opinion i want to get this phone shud i pliz tell me is it alrite for me to get this phone tell me so i dont make the worst mistake of ma life waitin for ur ansa thanku

  • My unit actually lasts 2 days with moderate use.

  • the battery life was easily drain or fast to drain

  • i suggest u peform a full factory reset

  • My unit doesn't heat up. Perhaps you should have your unit checked up.

  • Does this phone get warm when you are using it? I got one today and as I use it, it becomes warm, anything I can do for this?

  • I just got this phone from a local Telco. I must say, it seems to be a good basic Kitkat phone. It does come with quite a bit of bloatware, most of which you can uninstall. battery life seems to be right around 1 day. you're probably going to need an extra battery or power bank if you plan to use it quite heavily. OneTouch Launcher isn't the most beautiful launcher so I replaced it with the Google Now launcher. Also, the camera app that come with it sucks.
