  • I'm using this phone for almost 6 months, every thing is running well, I didn't get any problem.

  • I was thinking that the fone is too small to run android 4.4 os. but I realise that it is able to do.i think its nyc gone to use since it have features of other smartfone which is control market price

  • It isnt too bad btw it now runs android 4.4.2 which is not too bad compared to other major smartphones out there like Samsung galaxy s3 the battery is really good for the first 6 months which is actually not bad for low end smartphone it has quite amount of bloatware, I have vf 685 , the bloatware is almost the same as other smartphones the Facebook app comes with the phone and you cant delete it unless yiur root the phone, the camera isnt too good in low light situations, the 3g isnt bad either, gaming is quite normal in this phone but due to the amount of ppi this phone has you are able to see dots while playing subway surfers or what not

  • Cr@p phone at first I thought it was a nice smartphone then I realised that it has a POWERvr SGX531U and a rubbish Chinese chipped (mediated) 1ghz single core but now I have a hisense u971 now that's a powerful smartphone

  • Hello I have the vontafone smart mini (root ) And would like to connect a USB with a otg .You tell me a way to do that;

  • Question dose the smart 4 mini have a led light setting stored on the phone itself.

  • The internal memory of this phone is 4GB, however some of it is taken up by the operating system like 'All' phones.

  • Why does this device closes up automatically when I'm trying to play some games? If you can help send the answer to [email protected]

  • Got the smart 4 mini and I don't know how to set up my led light on it for bbm and other alerts ??

  • The internal memory is not 4GB but 2GB.

  • The internal memory is not 4GB but 2GB.

  • very good phone. I have used for one and half years. it's cheap and durable.

  • Its excellent,portable with affordable price to save the communication putpurse. I like it!

  • bought it here in new Zealand. cheap as hell so I can't complain too much aye. and it works well but obviously its a low end model and won't support higher spec apps or too many downloaded apps. if you take care of it. it will serve you as well as a cheap smartphone ever will. if you trash it, well it'll be stuffed for good.

  • the phone is good but the battery is a mess, I don't use the phone anymore bcoz the battery cant even manage 3 hours,shit and the worse thin? I brought it on a trip to south Africa and cant replace my battery in namibia

  • Everything is good, expect camera and GPS *and more GB for using attleast 4 GB*

  • I'm using this phone for one year or so. My "report": -Camera is 2.0 megapixels. You cannot win a World Press Photo prize with it? Probably not. Get a professional photo camera instead. -WIFI works flawlessly. -GPS can't connect to a satellite? Try to use it to guide you turn-by-turn outside (hey, wait a minute, that's what it was meant for, wasn't it?), not inside. -Apps work flawlessly or not. Professionally designed apps, no problem; Sync of email, calendar, Evernote, etc. work fine. Smartass apps will probably make your phone act funny and take you here to whine about being a stupid user.

  • is CDMA sim is going to work in this mobile

  • exactly

  • In Malta

  • does it have a gravity cencer

  • Where do I find accesories of the smartphone in MALTA?

  • can't download anything

  • Where do you put on led light for bbm on whatsaap because it don't work

  • The camera is terrible, the volume way too low and now i have to use thumb bendingly much power just to use top power-sleep button.

  • the phone connects to the wireless network but it fails to download anything,what must I do?

  • The performance of this phone is quite good. On Antutu 4 benchmark it gets over 9000 points. Viewing angles are also quite good even if it's TFT screen. Also there is an option to select SD card as internal storage so there is no problem by installing few big games. The back camera also works in Skype,but it's not much use. Main disadvantages are: *No multitouch. You can pinch zoom pages since there is emulated software 2 fingers multitouch,but forget playing games with two fingers. *Accelometer (screen rotation) doesn't works after using two months.

  • I have the smart mini since September 2013 and i don't regret it. For me there's only one problem, the phone isn't compatible with almost any Custom ROMs or MODs because of its CPU (MediaTek MTK6575). But still there are some MODs and ROMs, and i have them tested and 100% working with no bugs or glitches To have a better thought about the phone you can install Custom recovery and ROM (From here:http://smartmini.wordpress.com/), Awesome Beats Audio Engine v5 Aroma (From here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.­php?t=1728391) and get Poweramp from google play

  • i am in love with this phone,its super.

  • hi man jelly bean is the operation system of this phone,its pretty nice version of android

  • Let me clarify: I don't give a damn for games or other idiotic apps. I use it to communicate (phone, sms, email, etc.) and calendar - synced to Thunderbird - mainly through wifi, Office (Kingsoft), GPS and listening to music, and this little thing makes wonders so far. The GPS, even offline, usually finds my current location at light speed. A very good surprise :).

  • *#*#3646633#*#* go to hardware, audio, normal mode and set the max volume to 160 which is max

  • the incoming calls sound level is extremely low. how can I improve it? thanks.

  • To get your tones to work as message or ringtones. Plug the phone into the computer. (This may work without a memory card. I don,t know.) Open file manager/windows explorer to open the memory card. Once you've opened the memory card up in explorer create a new folder called ringtones. And if it's not there already also Create a folder on the memory card called Sounds. Put ringtones in the ringtones folder and message tones in sounds. Sometimes you have to put them in both folders, i think it's the half assed way Alcatel/tct mobile make the devices that cause this

  • i was searching for a phone and i want to know which phone is better vodafone smart mini or alcatel one touch m'pop? please anser..thanks xx

  • Read before you post. Search before you post. Your question is probably already answered

  • I have it for 2 months and all I can say is WOAH! Yes you can play any game lag free. even tho the graphics won't be as sharp as on a SIII for example. I'll give you some examples Need for Speed Most Wanted, Gta III/Vice city, NOVA 3, FIFA 12, PES 2012 etc. trust me all games work. I instaled flash player, and now it works with the build in default browser. The phone is fast, smooth doesn't lag, internet is fast I've downloaded even with 6mb/s, it doesn't heat up even after extended usage. The battery has a great lifetime, about 2-3 days with internet, texting & and calls I'd like to mention I have Du battery saver a little aplication from google play store. Display is ok, but the automatic light really doesn't feel right. I'd strongly recommend this as a first smartphone for anyone.

  • Anyone with an answer?

  • Usually phones this price do not perform too well...what games can be run lag-free and also is it multi-touch?

  • Usually phones this price do not perform too well...what games can be run lag-free and also is it multi-touch?

  • how do I save profile pictures on whatsapp?

  • Tried Skype video call. Worked like a charm. In fact this comment is written with smart mini!

  • It doesnt have secondary camera from what i see in specifications.

  • Im thinking of getting this soon. But I'd like to know if anyone was able to do a video call with Skype and has anyone tried the Teamspeak app on this? I'd appreciate it if anyone tried this.

  • Unfortunately, this phone doesn't support usb otg :(

  • Srsroot.com roots Vodafone smart mini easy. Download generic adb drivers first else doesn't worj

  • Yes it does. Whats Ap works well on the Smart mini

  • no its doesnt but u can get the vodafone smart 3 for 70-80 euro has a flash and is larger

  • Does Vodafone smart mini support WhatsApp?

  • Camera flash? Unfortunately, no. Adobe flash player for internet browsing? Go here: And scroll down until you find "Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives" and download the first application. Enable "Unknown sources" from Settings > Security and then install the application.

  • Does the smart mini have a flash

  • Does the smart mini have a flash

  • Hi i would just like to know what games this phone can run. what is the most graphic demanding game this phone can play with little or no lag thanx. this phone uses a PowerVR SXG531T

  • and yes this italy guide same with xda-developers forum guide

  • i done root with this guide its italy language but you can translate forum and pdf guide with google translate.

  • Try this: But read the comments from the last pages as you will need to use a newer spflash tool to work with this phone (alcatel t'pop). If you use the one in the thread you can brick your phone.

  • Open phone app (dialler), go to options (the button with 3 blocks on it), go to settings, then to other settings, and finally untick vibrate reminder. Done!

  • does this phone run on stock jellybean?

  • Thanx. This really looks like a awesum phone

  • The Antutu Benchmark score i got are mostly 6200-6600 The 3D gets the most out of it 3300 average. I didnt try to root it yet but id like to get a safe and detailed way to do it :P

  • any root guide for smart mini?

  • i do not like

  • how can i disable the sound that is made when the person i call answers? it makes in the speaker on the back a sound like that stupid vibration.

  • What are the Antutu benchmarks for the phone?? youtube videos arnt in english. and they show different scores

  • Can you get instagram on this phone?

  • what the !!!! camera is sucks its only 2 megapixel how idiot is that ........good phone but the camera is the problem!!!!!

  • Just download an app such as this: Orientation Control

  • Found out why the headphone were acting up. I bought a new pair of headphone that didn't have a mic or volume adjuster built in and it worked perfectly.

  • Yes. These and many other games are played in this device with a very good framerate.

  • I don't have sound on hangouts or vonage. The other person can't her me.it worked for a while now it stop. Any help?

  • Is it possible to install some application to make it have backlight?

  • It does support WhatsApp i have tried it and using it.

  • I want to know if it does surpport whattsapp. I bought one but i have not received it yet.

  • For music player force close - erase data and/or cache of this application. Headphones do not work properly when plugged? Poor quality headphone socket, does not properly accomodate the plug. There's a slight difference between the headphone plug (3 sections) and a hands-free plug (4 sections). I would like to say mine works well, but sometimes it doesn't. Your voice sounds weird to the interlocutor? Enter service menu (see older post) and set Audio->Speech Enhancement->Parameter0 to 0 and for Audio->Normal Mode choose FIR0 and Type Mic and set value as 30 instead of 64. The camera has no touch focus/autofocus. Is a fixed focus one.

  • The phones back home buttons dont have backlights. If you have problems with the music player then u should update or download another/better player> i really suggest to use an other player. So far i didnt have problems with the bluetooth or the headphones part of the phone and i use them quite frequently, i used a few kinds of headphones/earbuds etc no problem. Maybe the headphones are the problem or u didnt plug it in entirely.

  • Nevermind, I've found out the answer: yes, it does flicker when you get any kind of notification, sms messages included. That's a pretty cool feature.

  • Hi All When I plug in a pair of headphones other than the ones that came with the phone, it doesn't switch off the built in loudspeaker. Sound comes out of both. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance

  • What does the LED light next to the speaker do? Can it notify you when you receive an sms, for example?

  • Ive had this phone for two weeks and everything's working good except that the music built-in app isn't functioning properly, every time I press it, it then says "unfortunately, music has stopped" how do I fix it?

  • I've been reading some reviews on the web and it appears that those buttons (back, home etc.) do not 'turn on' on this phone.

  • Anyone know of any issues with the Bluetooth on the Vodafone Smar mini? Cannot seems to connect my phone to the in car sound system, Clarion CX609E, which is also Bluetooth? THks J

  • And a question. Anyone knows how can i enable usb host on it because i cannot use my OTG cable. Do i have to ROOT it to work? Any hints? Thanks!

  • I had the accel problem too about 3times now but not anymore since then . I think it may cause an app or something. Just turn the phone off and remove battery then turn it on(put back the battery of course XD) and it will work again.

  • Does the camera on this mobile have touchfocus or any autofocus at all?

  • I've seen a user complaining that when talking on the phone, the interlocutors hear his voice with some sort of reverb effect, and the sound is overall quite ''bassy'' and therefore it is quite hard for them to understand what he is saying. Is there anybody else here having the same problem?

  • Yes you can play games very smooth any game I play subway surfers, temple run 2, pou, and all android games and applications it is a very good phone the phone is a bit bigger than in photos it is very cool i just got it today

  • Same thing happend to my phone. The only solution was to turn it off and remove the battery. After inserting it back and switching the phone on, the acceleration sensor worked again. It's a bit annoying.

  • is this phone good at games? Can it play dead trigger and subway surfers????

  • This phone has the following specs according to wikipedia ( ) MT6575 can have Cortex-A9 (ARMv7)at 1.0 GHz and PowerVR SGX531 with 3G, HSPA radio technology

  • I have a problem with this phone. The rotate function,where the screen goes from normal to Landscape doesn't work for me anymore,it worked yesterday,not anymore,any ideea why? I bought this phone 2 days ago,i dont want to believe that it was a waste of money :D

  • I have just bought this phone few days ago and it's great and all but i have few questions,if anyone can help me. 1.You know there is a feature when if you rotate the phone,the keyboard should rotate aswell,it worked in the first place,but not anymore. 2.Those buttons that have some drawings on them,"Back" "home" "applications" ,shouldn't those turn on at night so we can see them?

  • Thank you, AngeloM! I see the maximum size of your pictures is 960x720. Can it take photos above this size, or is this the best you can get out of the Smart Mini camera?

  • I have played with one of these phones and was wondering why does it not vibrate when you receive a msg or a call is this just standard???

  • Thank you Andrei now i can hear whenewer someone is calling me. Actually i thought my phone was broken and wanted to return it but when i saw that my brothers phone is also that quiet i changed my mind. One thing bothers me that it doesnt have Croning Gorilla Glass :(

  • The dialler is the "phone" application you use to make calls and dial numbers. You will most probably find it in the main menu named "Phone".

  • For the sample pics of the camera of the Smart Mini go here: and click on "read more" under: "Sample pics with the camera of the Smart Mini:". .

  • For the sample pics of the camera of the Smart Mini try these links: .

  • Thanks for the hint, now I've managed to open them.

  • Check the links, they get "busted" after the copy/paste process, some "garbage" letters appear, but, after clearing them, I could watch the pictures perfectly. The specs say the videos should 30 fps framerate, but it only seems to achieve 15 or so. I thought it was a problem with my unit, but Angelo's video seems to have the same problem. The microphone does a bit of echo, more like a howling sound. But it's surely better than the mic equipping my old xperia x8

  • from where i'll get this?

  • My phone has very weak voleume also. What's the dialler? I can't fine it in my phone. Help,please....

  • Thank you very much for the camera samples, Angelo! However I cannot open the pictures, it says something like: "Access denied on this server". Anyway, thank you very much once again!

  • This is a video shot with my Smart Mini: These are some pics shot with the Smart Mini: ­

  • Unfortunately the previous post about how to make the phone louder is incorrect and as I can't edit nor delete it I will post the correct steps here: 1. open dialler and type *#*#3646633#*#* 2. slide to the hardware testing tab 3. select audio 4. select loudspeaker mode 5. press back once to hide the keyboard 6. change max vol. value to 160 7. click on set button next to the max vol. value 8. now you can close everything and enjoy your louder phone (9. you can also do that for headset; i don't know what normal mode does)

  • Thank you for the information. I only checked it now as I set it to 160 to both of them and never tried each of them. I have no idea what normal mode does. I will try to edit the post now. Thank you again

  • vry attractive price range

  • Your steps are great, just need to select "Loudspeaker Mode" instead of "Normal Mode" to have any effect! Great job though.

  • Thanks for the advice! The speaker is loud enough now. I wonder why they set it so low though...

  • Thank you for your reply. I have also heard people complaining that the speaker volume is very weak... I really don't know what to say about that, I have to choose between a Smart Mini and a Smart III. I'd go for the Smart Mini to be honest, I've 'played' with it for a few minutes in a local store and I was quite happy about its look and behaviour, but I couldn't check for these things as well. This vibration thingy and the soft speaker volume are serious drawbacks from my point of view... Other than that, could anyone please help me with some demo pictures and videos, so I could see what the camera is capable of? Of course, I don't expect it to be professional or anything like that, but I just want to know what I'm paying for. I've been desperately looking for some Smart Mini camera samples on the internet, but I haven't found anything :(.

  • I have also found a way to make the ringing sound louder. 1. open dialler and type *#*#3646633#*#* 2. slide to the hardware testing tab 3. select audio 4. select normal mode 5. press back once to hide the keyboard 6. change max vol. value to 160 7. click on set button next to the max vol. value 8. now you can close everything and enjoy your louder phone (9. you can also do that for headset and loudspeaker mode if you want)

  • Indeed the vibrations are in fact a buzzing sound made by the speaker, but an added metal blade does the trick, so you can actually feel the phone vibrating. Still the vibrations are fainter than you might want. And, as an added "bonus", the speaker is muffled so the ringer volume is very weak. Weaker than of any phone I've ever had. Apart from that, the phone works really well.

  • I'm planning to get this phone as a first smartphone, but I've just read some opinions that the Smart Mini has no vibration. Some people who have bought the phone claim that the vibration is actually a sound from the speaker, that the phone doesn't vibrate physically. If that's true, then this would be a big problem for me... on the other hand, the phone's specs here say that the phone does have vibration... So could anyone who has the phone tell me if the phone does vibrate or not? Thank you in advance.

  • I found the fix for the dialler freeze. Go to settings > applications > all > phone > clear data (if it doesn't work, also do that for contacts) Also if you want to play music louder you'll need to use play music player and change the equalizer setting. First open play music, then press on the 3 boxes in the top right corner of the screen, press on settings > equalizer > turn the equalizer on from the switch on the top right corner then set all the sliders to maximum. For better headphones music clarity while keeping the music loud, set the 3d and bass boost sliders to minimum and set the slider in the middle of the equalizer (910hz) to about 80% while leaving the others (60 hz, 230hz, 4khz, 14khz) to maximum. For more clarity decrease the 910hz slider even further, but don't go below 50%. If you don't like the effect just disable equalizer from the switch on the top right.

  • This is Alcatel One Touch T'Pop updated to Android 4.1. Had it for a few days. Only problem is that it hangs when i try to call someone from people app and i have to reset it by removing the battery. Other than that this phone is great! I had it free for renewing my 10 euro postpaid contract in Romania!

  • I have it now for 2 weeks and it works pretty well i didnt have any problems with it Every app/game works perfectly no lag etc. the only thing i would like to mention is that its a bit quiet compared to my previous phones. It has a PowerVR SGX 531 GPU ARM Cortex A9 processor armv7l The camera is not getting blury if you want to capture close pictures of text or anything else. Of course if you want to watch HD videos you only get sound but if you download an app it will work fine but sometimes the sound will get ahead a bit. Im curious if the phone has Gorilla Glass or not.

  • nice phone
