Kit, how do you store the images? on the phones memory or the SD card, it could be that the SD card is either full or broken, it happens from time to time. Also Sorry I was not posting for so long, was really busy!

    kit, i forgot to ask if you're living here in the philippines. if you're not from here, just ask the shop where you bought your phone.

      Remove the battery. See the sticker with the bar code? Look at the alphanumeric code above "Made in China (or whatever country is that)". You will know the firmware version on the first three characters. It should be 18B or 188. If it's 177 or 166, that should be upgraded.

      I bought mine at wellcom with 177 firmware version so I asked them to upgrade it. But it took 3 weeks because they have to send it to their main office and send it to versatile (the alcatel main dealer in philippines). But if you bring it to versatile telecoms (somewhere in roxas boulevard), it will only take 2 hours, according to them. It's free because it's part of the warranty.

          My PC can't read my phone. It says "USB not recognized." All drivers are installed and all USB ports are functioning well. What should I do.

          ...
          The remote control is available in versatile telecoms in manila. the price is 517 pesos according to their e-mail. I heard that there's a shop in sta. lucia east grand mall (cainta) that sells alcatel accessories. But i'm not sure.

            kit, just check if your unit is 18b or higher firmwared. If it is not, you must have it upgraded.

                tut, the most possible reason for that is the phone is still busy when you reset. If this happens just turn off the phone, turn it on again then reset it.

                            hello. ive been using this phone for two years and so far, no plan of changing because of the speaker's sound. much contented indeed.

                            but a little problem. first, when i upgraded my phone, i started using 1gb. the effect is i cant store phonebook on the phone memory, so its all in the simcard. second, like its glitch in its dictionary, i can no longer open its distribution list. i cant send to many. third, the remote started to sound strange, it sounds like an empty can with its earphone. im sure the earphone still work but the remote is just strange. are there any substitute for the remote from other brand because i cant find any shop around here that sells the remote for this phone.

                            thank you. waiting for the reply.
