AnonD-563067, 21 Jul 2016How is the battery?I'd say, battery depends of phone usage. I prefer lighter phone and charges everywhere. And as I don't play games or listen music, just some messages, news, browsing, the battery is fine for me. Android 6 and Doze mode helps also a lot.

This post is for idol4 owners only!
I received last night an upgrade on the software...the phone still works great,the only news is fyuse app....but the sound in not as good as it was before!the speaker from the bottom of the phone is a litle bit louder than the one form the top and the surround it's no more so beautifull like it was before upgrade.....
Anyone received the same upgrade and has the same problem?

Just got this phone for $233 in Saudi Arabia, 6055K model with 3GB ram.
I was hesitant on this due to less than stellar experience with the Idol 3 5.5 I had which suffered overheating and extensive stuttering.
This phone is like night and day in terms of speed and heating despite the similar cpu. UI is smooth and heating while present is not as crippling as before.
Audio is great and nicely done in the bezels unlike HTC. Screen looms really nice and is responsive, and colors are rich without being too much. Camera is capable of decent shots but it loves using too high an iso level especially indoors so I tend to use manual and set the iso myself with better results. Battery life is good and complemented by quick charge, bear in mind it does not come with a quick charger but I used a third party one just fine. Mine came with a nice flip cover and clear plastic back.
Overall a nice and stylish phone, if you aren't too much a heavy gamer and a decent camera suffice check if out.

Did You sent complaint to Alcatel? But true, Alcatel is not very often, if any, releasing updates. I didn't find anything about this issue in Russian forums, but users told, that in Airplane mode, isn't possible to enable wifi, unlike other phones allow. However, if Your issue is a known and global problem and Google have fixed (Nexus) it, and Idol 4 users starting yo complain, then Alcatel must also release some update. I will test mine, and complain to Alcatel and if no reply or update, then probably will sent back to Amazon also.

The phones are really nice, but currently it seems that they didn't reconnect to mobile datas when you're leaving a wifi-network (or switching manually back). Only a restart of the phone (or sometimes the activated flightmode) is getting the mobile data network back. So I am waiting for the first (or maybe 2nd) Update for these phones and I'll get these phones a little bit cheaper then. ;)

That's a mistake on the amazon homepage, I already shared this mistake to them but it seems that no one cares about that. The original package includes a simple polycarbonate case that could be bought for a few €. The matrix flipcase costs about 25-30 € and has some extra features.

About battery, disable all unused apps, adjust Doze mode, it should help.

So far everything else about the phone continues to be impressive. The dual speakers are great and the overall performance of Android is good. I've just received my fitbag sleeve from Germany today. I highly recommend them. I have one for my Lumia and my friends also bought them after seeing the quality of mine.
