                I have recently bought this phone. I have never used any brand other than Samsung in mobile phones. But thie Alcatel IdolX is impressive. All things are good about this phone, excpet there is a an issue which I am facing. When I login to my facebook account, the images & videos doesn't appear. It keeps on surfing and takes min. 15min to show the images and videos in the first instance. Don't know what could be the proble. The same issue is happening when I open Youtube as well. Did anyone experience this and if any one could help me to fix this issue, then it will be great? Regards..

                      Just brought this phone last Saturday. I'm a HTC addict and I really impress how goods this phone.
                      With 5" full HD display, 441 ppi the screen looks so beautiful and sharp. The 13.1mp camera with face detector working really great. Front camera with 2mp also have face detector.The picture is really clear. But the zooming looks bad. Edit function for pictures remind me of camera 360. Looks great.

                      For calling, the sound is very loud and clear.

                      This phone also pre install with paid apps. Thanks

                      With 2g ram, no problem for me to running many apps.

                      for battery life time, it's can hold for a long day with heavy usage. 20 to 23 hours no problem for me. Usually I'm playing the hobbit 1-2 to hours per day, chatting we chat / whatsapp, facebook. So the battery ok for me. Just swictch on saving mode.

                      With the price RM 999 in Malaysia, this is super price :)

                        I was really concerned about the battery life before I bought the Alcatel One Touch Idol X, because of all the reactions on poor battery life. I looked all over the site and other sites to find a smartphone that could give me more or less all the specs this one has but with a better battery. Onfortunately no other phone could compete when we look into the same price category (it costed me €299) so i bought him.

                        When I saw him at first it was clear that the screen is way better than any other typical smartphone these day's (even the more expensive ones can't compete), the screen is very clear and sharp and looks good from any angle. The buttons down on the screen are good too, although some people think they're not responsive enough, I didn't have any problems with it. It works fine for me. And of course the battery... I feel like the most of the people out here are exaggerating about the poor battery life. I think that the battery is perfect for normal use. When you use it just for texting and calling and al little apps/internet it lasts up to 2 days. Most of the time, for me it lasts for about 36 hours on normal days... (Note: I switch of the mobile data when I don't use it) I can believe that if you're a power user, using this phone mostly for gaming and gps-apps that it won't last a day, for normal users i would say: go for it, it's a great phone! Very thin and lightweight...

                        For example: On this moment my battery is 27%, my phone was charged 21h10min ago. I called approximately for an hour, played games for about 2 hours and texted like I always do.

                        Something I also like about this phone (it's a detail, I know) is that you can see your data use right in your settings and you can set a limit to it :)

                          AnonD-216341, 07 Jan 2014touch idol x or xperia sp witch is worth it??? thank qI have a Xperia SP, i would recomend the Idol X if their prices are similar. The SP has a very poor camera which i highly doubt the Idol could do worse in. You gain a larger, higher rez display, more ram and while chipset is likely weaker you won't notice it unless playing more heavy apps. The SP is also much thicker/heavier than the Idol.

                              Hi,
                              I bought this phone a week ago, and I noticed one problem.
                              Audio and mic stops working after 4-10 hours since last power off/on.

                              I am using android JB 4.2.2.

                              This is very unpleasant problem, since nobody can hear me, and I cannot hear anybody.
                              When I do power off/on, problem dissapears.

                              Is there anybody who has the same issue?

                              Other then that, it is great phone.
                              Batery is ok, if you dont overuse it....

                              Thanks.
