I agree about the 8g low memory of this phone. As suggested by previous posts, I have formated an sdcard as an internal memory and it worked fine. No problem to transfer any data. Few applications can also be transfered onto the external sd, but it does not free too much space. Eventually, you end up with a saturated internal memory and this is really too bad. I am really looking at a solution to free some more space. Otherwise, I am quite pleased with this phone, at least for this price range.

Fantoddycat, 30 Sep 2016Could you tell me how I can format sd card as internal memo... more
sd card can not be internal memory means that which is built into the phone to remain internal memory and what is added to the phone SD card that is complementary and can not be the main memory so simply impossible to upgrade with external memory.

Am I the only one having success with this phone? I rather like it and does everything I need, just make sure you format your SD card as Internal Memory and then you're sorted.
The problems I have been hearing on here lie with Android 6 and not the actual phone or Alcatel themselves.

Have read that photos are needed to transfer to desktop once before moving to SD card. It's annoying enough and during transfer my photos to google device, it stopped and started rebooting. Then I found out all photos are gone except a few in google device. Does someone know what happened and how I can get them back? Thank you.

Myron, 18 Sep 2016I can't find where to move internal storage to SD cardNearly all apps are prevented from transferring to SD card on Android. Photos and other data can be transferred but on the Alcatel it can be tricky. However, I have found that if photos will not transfer, placing them on the desktop and then transferring from there does work. Currently I am managing to transfer every piece of data on to the sd card.

a great phone for the price , does everything a phone should , no issues at all with it . my one complaint is 8gb storage around 5 pre installed software , i would recommend it unless you think you can buy a phone for £70 and it does everything a top of the range phone

Bought it 3 weeks ago, now selling it for 40℅ of the price. Problems:
- 1st week the battery was average, then it became trash;
- Switching between 3G from both SIMs turns them off, completely.
- GPS module is crashing already, at the service center said that it's hardware problem. "Fixed" it 3 times and it still breaks...yes 3 times for 3 weeks.
- You can use your SD as a mount storage, high speed class 10 behaves like a 10 year old class 4 card.
- And for conlusion, the RAM is always taken at ~ 80℅ by the system, so u have ~20 for all of the apps you plan to use. Forget about games or more than 4 browser tabs.

However, my friend I do not know how old you are , because I am the older generation this your comment can compare with WINDOWS XP that still work and I think that is the best because you can do what you want, so when you compare with the latest WINDOWS 10 to the disaster, does not allow what you want , it is the same as the latest android , so I still use 4.2.2 JB because simply is the best, as Win XP , if at all , this young generation knows . conclusion; of all new systems are designed so that they can monitor everything you do and allow what they want so abolished the old programs that are free to operate. as this latest game POKEMON ha , ha , are not even aware that google along with a game install and monitoring program that is impossible to delete so you arbitrarily and unconsciously approve your details to be monitored in the system. greetings to all Pokemon sheep

Bought one (Aug 2016) to replace my 5 year old Alcatel one touch idol S 6034R. The Idol S was running Android 4.2.2 which was too old to run some new apps like BT Sport which needs 4.4 and above. Was looking forward to new 'better' functionality of Androids latest version 4.6 Marshmallow. Well, cant believe how bad it is !, ... things may look a bit sexier but functionality is nowhere near as simple and intuitive as it used to be on my old phone/version. Don't know who to blame, Alcatel or Android developers. Lots of small issues but by far the biggest problem is not being able to choose 'Primary Storage Location for downloads' as on the old phone and getting msg 'Not enough space to download App, move some apps to SD Card to free up space', ... would be nice if you could but only some apps can be moved, so its not long before the same msg re-appears.
I've spent a week doing numerous Factory Resets and starting again with no success, but have now found a possible solution on the Alcatel Support website. it suggests 'migrating data' in 'Settings' 'Storage' 'SD Card' and the Menu Icon, ... what this poorly named option actually does is not just migrate a small amount of data as it first implies, but moves most folders from Internal Storage to the SD Card. So now it looks like it might be better, but apps still seem to download to wherever they want and still and don't always allow movement to SD Card. So after all this I'm still expecting the same problem in the near future.
On the old phone choosing primary storage location and moving apps was simple.
How can companies release software as bad as this ? , ... I just cant believe it.

Baze, 11 Aug 2016Dont buy this phone! Internal memory is 8gb but when you tu... moreGood afternoon,
I had an Alcatel Pop 4, too.
There was the problem, that it clicked for example on some pages on links by itself. So I brought the phone back to the store where I bought it.
I know probably a solution:
Go to Google Play Store, there to Settings and disable automatic updates. There are three or more possibilities: 1.) update only when on WiFi 2.) update automatically and 3.) never update. I recommend to set it to "never update automatically". It's because WiFi is dangerous especially for downloading of apps.
Then go to the settings of your phone, go to apps, go to "all apps" and go to an app you who has a significant number of mb, for example 10 mb. Now click on "uninstall updates".
Please tell me if it helped.
