Worse phone I ever had. The manual would fit in a baby's hnd and it is difficult to
operate this phone. I don't think that I am too stupid, but I have a lot of trouble
using this phone.
My suggestion, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!!!

          I loved this phone when I first purchased it. It was my first cell phone. Six months later, out of nowhere, it seems the graphics card is shot. The phone is useless now. I cannot even get it to turn on. Very disappointed in this phone!

            The phone does everything I have asked it to. Fast quad core and big screen does keep up. I would say the battery would last maybe 8 hours heavy use. Turning GPS off helps extend significantly. I had trouble with DLNA as the other reviewer had mentioned. So I went and bought a dedicated kodi android tv box instead.
            I wish it had stereo speakers. But you cant beat the price. A mere 20% the price of samsung s7.

            Question: will the one touch fierce excel run 64 or 128gb memory cards? The website says 32gb max, but why so low? Did anyone try it yet???

                    Anonymous, 31 Mar 2016I am very pissed off I have carpal tunnel in my right hand... moreIt has the voice option u can turn it on in language and input in setting or accessibility setting. Or hold down the button next to the swipe option. I havent had any issues with the phone once other than getting used to the layout. Had the stylo before this and lost it but this phone is a lil better i think. Bought the alcatel and got the LG V7 for free and thats a nice lil phone for free when u port over.

                      this happens to your phone , because you did ROOT the phone and now is infected with the
                      (v i r u s) and he took command of your phone and for a short period of time will become worthless brick, so you think you're very smart , but you're phone was ok and you're spoiled phone

                        Battery lasts me almost a day and a half. Great display resolution. The speaker is even pretty good I was suprised. A little awkward in the beginning going from a 4.7 inch phone to this size but not so bad now that I'm used to it.,have had it a month and a half and I'm pretty happy w it. I'd still keep the insurance for the phone for awhile bcuz it would freeze but be fine after a reboot. Idk what that's about but we'll see

                          DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!

                          I have to charge the battery everyday because it's a piece of garbage.

                          Oh, and for some reason the phone starts auto-answering. I didn't set it like that (perhaps an app I downloaded kicked it), and there is NO way to go into the settings and manually take the phone off this stupid option. And it doesn't ring. So when someone calls you, UNLESS YOU ARE DIRECTLY LOOKING AT THE PHONE AND ANSWER IT (not by pressing a green button, the phone just auto-answers into the air) , it auto-answers SILENTLY and whoever just called you can hear everything you are doing or saying. WHO IN THE WORLD THOUGHT UP THIS OPTION? WHO IN THE WORLD WOULD EVER USE THIS OPTION? IT'S A PHONE!!

                          And it cannot be fixed unless you do a hard factory re-set.

                          I would NEVER, EVER, EVER recommend this piece of $hit to ANYONE.

                                  Second Alcatel Phone I have gotten. Mainly becasue it is the basic phone MetroPCS offers as an alternative to the IPhone or Samsung. It is a piece of trash. It is twice as heavy as my old Samsung Galaxy S4 and has lots of issues with Lollipop. Constantly crashing.

                                  If you are looking for a super cheap android phone this is a cheap and shotty as they come. Save your money and buy ANYTHING else.

                                      Just got this phone Wednesday with my upgrade for like $80 including the $15 to switch my account over to this new phone. As soon as my phone was activated, I sent a mms to see if it would be sent and asked to be called back to check for the auto answer problem. The mms didn't send and the phone auto answered. No worries, I factory reset on my way out the door of MetroPCS as some helpful people in this forum have stated to solve these problems. It remedied both issues. I haven't had anything unusual happen since then. I'm rooted with Kingroot and used a script to remove Kingroot and install SuperSu. I'm very happy with this phone considering my last flagship was a Note 4.
