Samsung has killed this phone by lollipop update to dprce users to buy new phones. I recommend to download kitkatt from sammobile.com and flash it again. I have had this 0hine since 3 years and am still on kitkatt and no problems found yet

Why dont you just upgrade to Android 7 with the Lineage OS Custom Rom, works like a charm.

So the lollipop is not the issue. Probably next year I can get the s7 for 350-400 euros working perfectly fine. Or the lg g6

Overating problem - No problem at all , it overheats and drains battery only when I turn on gps.
Battery - I am still getting 3 hours SOT with 8-10 hours (3g/4g on 70% times) on battery after full charging.
Bootloops, never got any bootloops since dec 2014

I bought this phone last winter because I wanted as small a phone as possible with a battery that can be replaced. It still had KitKat on it, so I let it upgrade to Lollipop right away. It has turned out to be one of the worst phones I've ever had. The memory management is terrible. It is constantly bogging down and getting stuck. I have a couple of cache cleaners on it, and one of them keeps an icon up in the notification bar. Throughout the day, I have to tap that icon to get the phone going again. I absolutely detest this phone, and we'll get another one as soon as I am able. I am also disgusted with AT&T for not providing a means to take it back to KitKat, and with Samsung for not providing an upgrade to Marshmallow.

After revisiting this phone (one more chance) the home button is semi-broken and took the fingerprint scanner with it. Battery drains 10% in 10 minutes but charges 10% in 7-8 minutes(battery is changed and the storage is 45% full).
Still far better gpu performance than a3 2017 and a5 2016 and a7 2016.
Because of overheating , boot loop, horrible battery and super buggy system this is a pile of junk. A series is a huge step back. I could stick with alpha in 2018 easily but I simply can't because shamesung forces us to buy their A series which cannot play 1080p 60fps videos and don't have screen mirroring. In conclusion:
STAY AWAY FROM SHAMESUNG. Probably s7 can be a good phone even in 2018 but who knows what will happen with this one as well.
R.I.P Alpha.

Hi Samsung Galaxy Alpha users, this phone is poor battery. the phone should on charge in Home - In Car during Travelling - and in Office. During out door travelling do not take risk with this phone, the battery will completely offs.
The phone has hanging problem during making and receiving calls. you will feed to break the phone during emergencies.
Once again Battery is worst..................The purpose of phone is for emergency reach a person. but this is not possible in this model.
Worst phone totally my money wasted.
