Has anyone had problems with the SD card as mine is not recognising it as storage all together?
Brand new 16GB SD card, formatted as internal storage and cannot for the life of me install anything as i have no storage available.
The SD port does look damaged but how would i go about fixing it? Go back to where i bought it, phone repair or just scrapping the phone?

This phone is a total waste of money, don't even consider owning one of this. This phone albeit heavily advertized as the cheapest 4G capable Smartphone in the market, cannot sustain it in more than 10 minutes of 4G usage before it starts to heat up, lag, and freeze. Also, this phone is basically a chinese phone because Alcatel is owned and operated by TCL.
TL;DR: Don't even bother to buy this if you have other options.

I find I am charging battery for 6 to 8 hours to get 4 hours battery life. Am going back to shop tomorrow to see if there is some problem with it. Also after a week and a half it just decided to reject sd card. Sorry I bought it but you get what you pay for. Overall a big piece of c--p and I won't have it long

Why does this phone takes too long to charge even though this is only 2050 mah? I have tried fast chargers and noticed a slightly long charging time compared to my other phones.

Load of sh*t bought it because I needed a cheap android phone for 4g browsing. Barely gets 3g despite being the 4g model. Speed tests show an average of 1mb downloads but when I put the SIM in my Google XL I get 80+mbs. Serious problems with this phone and I completely regret buying it. Do not waste your money

I have this phone too and all though i have had another smartphones before it is indeed an excellent phone its fast works well and is a good price, i have alll my music and games i use on it among other things, it seems bit better battery life than other network smart i had which went down fast. I would say its a great start or long term phone if you dont want too spend too much.

Gday all,
My first smartphone ever, upgrade from 2G was done promptly in the shop (*). Easy to learn, easy to use, easy to connect up to my PC, easy to install an app - and it did the task I needed it for, as well as the expected features. I'm happy, although I have no real comparison.
(*) When I first started as a tech geek, a PC upgrade meant an order from abroad, weeks, then soldering it onto the PC board.

I really like Alcatel brand and when I tried this Alcatel U5 I was little bit puzzled, and possibly expect too much on this unit just for a week of using it. The battery life is easily drained just after 6 hours on standby mode, I already checked and optimized all the apps just to maximize the life span of the battery. However I was amazed on how fast the connection between WIFI and Data Connection. It really nailed to core for those who wants fast and reliable connection. Well, for me, that's it... :-)

Why is this phone 10mm's thick?
It doesn't have the battery to back that up nor does it have any other specs to make it that thick.
I don't get it alcatel.
