I have purchased ALcatel one touch idol x+ last year from flipkart. I like the design, display, camera, sound quality of the phone. But, i'm very disappointed with the performance of the phone. it hangs quite often particularly when there is an incoming call. I have uninstalled CM security software that keeps running in background but still the same issue. Has anyone faced the same problem and resolved the issue?

Hi All,
I attempted to get the glass received from below link ( in previous post)- but the touch is not working!!
Hard Luck...don't try from the store I brought ( OK Electronics- from Ali Express).

Hi , I also face teh same problem- of loudspeaker getting disconnected randomly, and the volume getting low on its own almost every time the loudspeaker in switched on.
I have not yet tried to repair it, If anyone tried can share experience.
By the way, this issue irritated me once that led to the screen getting damaged ( since the loudspeaker returns back to normal when you hit the mobile few times- once i hit little hard & it cracked). Below post I have posted teh link - where you can attempt to get the spare glass/ panel http://www.aliexpress.com/item/High-Quality-LCD-Display-Touch-Screen-For-Alcatel-One-Touch-Idol-X-X-Plus-OT6043-6043/32261702001.html
I am yet to get it changed from a mobile repair shop- will post comment with experience.

Hi, Also had the same issue with glass getting damaged with minor fall ( doubt for the gorilla glass). Also, the service guy asks 8500/- ( in Bangalore) - amazing !! The one costs 9000/- They mean that the rest of the phone is worth only 500/- ( Fools - trying to fool us further!).
Checked the site for cheaper screen replacement - have doubts for it getting a correct fit . The phone specs are good - would retain it if repaired- since the after sale market is worthless ( not even 1000/- for a year old model), else I think I will go for a new one- this time a better model ( which has good resale value) .

Hello, I have exactly same issue. Did you get a way to make it work? There is no spares in the market also. A very bad business strategy. There are many complaints on this case and reselling the phone for 3k in quickr olx etc. Atleast they can sell thier touch digitizer online. Bought for 18k now on flipkart its 9k. Cheater's brand..

I used this phone for 1 year and now my screen is broken from my 2 yr old daughter's bite. Can't believe the Gorilla glass can break from a toddler's bite. Touch is completely gone, but display is working. The authorized service centre is asking for INR 8500 for screen+touch combo replacement, while the entire phone is available at the cost of INR 9000 in the same e-commerce site where I bought it for INR 18,000 an year ago.
I found the spare parts online for cheaper rates (around INR 2500), but not sure which one can fit this phone. Anybody who has done this before, please suggest me a suitable display+touch combo from this list?

I bought a faulty Idol X+ (crashing after loading android), which was totally unusable. Sometimes the last displayed screen would freeze, other times screen went black and vertical lines started appearing.
As I have no warranty I took the risk of doing what some people do with laptop and PC motherboards and GPU cards: cook it in the oven to reflow soldering.
I removed everything from the motherboard of the smartphone and cooked it at 170C for a few minutes and waited for it to cool down without opening the oven door. Now it works great! Search "XDA S960 problem solving" where I wrote about it in detail.

After few months, I hawe to say it is not the best, but quiet good for money I spent on it (about 200 €). The major issues are over heating (few times screen got so hot that it could not be tuched without feeling your fingers burn !!!) and wifi (for me, it lose connectivity just when browsing, needs to turn wifi off and on again, then works). I am missing 4G a bit, is's cpu is not worth much and may be cause of overheating. At last it's display is pretty good, battery life is also ok (about 3-4 days per charge for me). Encoutered just one system lag yet. Android version: 4.4.2 , rooted, uninstalled blotware (no newer android update available !!!)
I would rate it 7/10
+display
+battery life
+JBL !

Hi All..
After 10 months of usage I feel I shud change the phone. In initial 4-5 months I didn't have any problem,but after having the update it started lagging, slowness kills,and Wi-Fi goes problematic thing.you will be connected to WiFi but u can't access internet until you restart your phone.
Voice quality is good.
Battery is not bad.
More frequent updates on apps so ram gets filled sooner. I think that's the cause for slowness.but not sure.
By now if you ask me about the rating u would give 5/10.Thereare new phones in the market:-)
