So on JUMP, and I want to trade in my M8, I don't see anything in my bootloader saying TAMPERED, just the below stuff.... I just was curious, if anyone had any issues with JUMP later when they might have even turned in a phone with ***TAMPERED*** being labeled in the menu.

***software status: official***

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SB13X:
I've noticed there are a variety of mods not requiring Xposed for things such as clear all in Recent Apps etc

Being that Xposed isn't working without severe debloat or suffering bootloop requiring cache wiping. I want to see if its possible to replace the existing battery logo with an operational circle one with percentage? If one exists or how I can go about making one.

Thanks.

Hi,

I was wondering if there's a way to get S-Voice to launch when holding down the middle button on earphones like Siri does on the iPhone? The Note recognises the middle button on my earphones and I use it to skip tracks etc, it would just be pretty handy to have S-Voice functionality.

Thanks

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] InFaMouZz:
hopefully it does since the whole premise of the phone seems to be that it's "unlocked"

It looks as though most all of their other devices have bl unlock, out of the box.

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Mooniegt:
Would the Idol 3 be an upgrade to my Galaxy S4? I think I've gotten over paying $$ for a "flagship phone." I'm looking hard at the Idol 3, the ASUS Zenfone 2, and the Oneplus One. The Idol 3 is the bargain among the bargain phones... just a little worried about the camera and general performance compared to the Zenfone 2 and One, which I think are a bit more powerful.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Well, you know your phone. Here is a comparison of the two.

Each will have their plus and minus. They are two entirely different devices. Alcatel is still rather new at this game. Having this in in their lineup, shows they are moving toward more premium devices.

That said, they still need to prove this device worthy of a higher status level.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Mooniegt:
I've been on the fence on the Idol 3 big time. I had a pre-order in at the $199 price and canceled it. I wish I hadn't done that... I think I may reorder the Idol 3 and give it an honest go. I'm really interested in the Idol 3 for the relatively light weight (sounds like one of the lighter 5.5" phones out there unless I've been misinformed), good battery life, and stereo speakers. If it doesn't live up to my expectations, I can return it and get the OPO. I just wish the OPO had an SD Card slot. I do like to share files that way between my tablet and phone...
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] macallik:
Not sure if this is an option? One thing I will say is that if you hit the volume key, you can hit the Speaker/vibration symbol to quickly jump to the opposite sound setting. (Ie: If you have the phone on 'vibrate' hitting the vibrate icon will shift the phone back to the previous volume levels)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Karly Johnston:

I started a new thread so that we can keep the camera discussion together in one place. I have some tips there that appear to be working for me. There are really two things to watch - the ISO setting and the focus.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] redeyss:
I'm having the dt2w intermittent issue and it's driving me crazy! I installed AC display and it seems to be a workaround, though still not 100%. I'm in and out of pocket a lot so it works well for me but will occasionally not display lock screen. When sitting screen up on a desk I'll just learn to use power button. There's nothing worse and more of a waste of time than frantically taping the bleeding screen!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
It's a shame those returning their $199 pre-orders don't have a simple way to sell them to those wanting the phone but who will now have to pay $250 for it. If I could have located someone prior to my purchase I certainly would have been willing to pay the price AND shipping which would still be about $40 cheaper.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stl1859:
Why don't you try posting to various deals forum where this deal is still being discussed ? I have seen a few people post requests to buy the device from anyone willing to sell. And if you already purchased one at $250 - I guess you can then return that :) ; assuming you can still do it.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] tkmcguire1:
Just got mine and started setting it up,I loaded all the apps like 100 one after the other, really bogged it down and made it freeze a few times,restarted but now doing better. But my apps are not showing in the app drawer,there are like 3 apps showing? When I pull up under downloaded apps they are all there,I just don't know why they aren't showing up in the drawer. Anyone else with this issue?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] jsm7483:
Go to Settings > Apps > All then find ONETOUCH Launcher and hit Clear Cache then Clear Data then Force Stop. Hit the home key and see if that fixes it.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] samven582:
double tap doesn't work properly for me. How do I fix this?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Shodan5150:
You can't "fix" it. Just make sure you're double tapping quickly and firmly in the same spot. It works good for me when I do that.

If you still have an issue reboot the phone and do what I instructed above.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] arampapaz:
I agree with you. I actually posted the 2 I had on Craigslist and would have let them go for what I paid just to help someone out, but nobody replied so off they went back to Amazon.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] waynehardy:
Just a couple of quickies!

Is the memory partitioned or can all the available memory be used to install apps?

And what kind if battery life are people seeing?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Shodan5150:
I asked the same question about the storage but never got an answer. But it looks like you can use it all for apps, doesn't it?

I'm getting really good battery life. On a slow day I use up about 33%. On a regular day 50% to 65%. I use GSAM and it repports 5.5 hours on screen time. Not too shabby!
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] mackster248:
So far this phone has been good to me. I really, and I mean REALLY, love the screen and speakers. What I don't like is that the phone just absolutely crawls for me. It's slow all the time and things take a couple seconds each to load. Even typing stutters often.

I really hope root can be achieved along with a custom ROM. I refuse to believe that this hardware is to blame here. I think it's a combination of this ROM and Android 5.0.x. 5.1 is supposed to fix a lot of things.

I just received my phone via Amazon. Copying wife's S4 data to her laptop for transferring to new Idol 3.

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] frankee207:
Hello, I've watched many review videos of this phone on the internet, and it seems really great. So I would want to buy it. But Android M has been announced; it looks very promising and comes make lollipop even better. So do you think this phone will get android M ? I never owned an alcatel phone, so how about software updates from alcatel ? Do you think the phone will get an interesting custom devlopment (ROMs, kernels, mods...) ?

Thanks in advance for answering ;)
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Danish2980:
My thoughts exactly ?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] mikeisgo:
I'm hoping it gets Android M. If you look at the Alcatel Idol 2, that was released January 2014 (according to GSM Arena), it shows that it shipped with 4.2 and was later updated to 4.4. So with that in mind. I would guess we might have a chance of seeing an M update after that ships, but probably not anything after that. Thats my guess at least.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] frankee207:
This is also what I would have guessed... Let's hope the phone will get custom development, it would be really interesting and exciting...

Update

Not sure if this is where I can ask this question, my alcatel keep asking me to update, so far it's worked great, should I be concern about this update or avoid it and continue to use it as is?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Shodan5150:
It's going to keep notifying you of the update until you actually install the update. If you don't want to update then ignore it.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] redeyss:
I've been using my replacement Idol 3 for about 24 hrs now and I did not install update. Don't know if i had a bad unit before but on the new one the double tap to wake works about 9 out of 10, closer to my one m8 or G2, while the old one was not working consistently at all. Also, new one seems smoother with less lag. I'm hesitant to install update now! I've had enough phones to know that two of the exact same phones can behave differently.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Vto:
I know there's a place to go to the setting for the update to dismiss the notification that keeps asking to update, if I find it, I'll post the steps, unless someone knows already.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] redeyss:
I'm not getting the notification to update even though the update is available and I haven't taken it yet. Who knows!?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] redeyss:
Correction, got the notification today about 24 hrs after activation, expect it same time tmro.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] famewolf:
'

If you start the update and then pause it you will get rid of the notification and can always later resume the download at your convenience via the updates icon in apps list.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Vto:
What I ended up doing was under menu, went to about phone, clicked system updates, then clicked the menu on the tip right and switched the auto check frequency to manual and it seems to have made it stopped.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Mojar7070:
Has anyone heard any news as to when the 4.7 inch screen version will be released?? On GSM arena it mentioned June 2015 but nothing definite.

I would actually rather have the 4.7 version IF it had the 5.5 specs with the 720p resolution. It just fits better in my pocket and easier to handle for me.

Thanks.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stl1859:
The 4.7 inch has a slower processor, only 1 GB of RAM and a lower resolution front camera. It is also *slightly* thicker and lower screen to body ratio. I am not sure, but I think the model with the micro SD card slot only has 8 GB on-board storage. So as you can see, it is not just a lower resolution.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Mojar7070:
Yeah, I read the rest of the specs on GSM arena. Not what I was hoping for.

[Onetouch Idol 3 General] DallasCZ:
Hello guys,

i am from Europe and i looking after this phone it looks very good (the 5.5 version).

But my concerns are about Chrome browser (now i got snapdargon 400 with 2gb ram and no problem with chrome), and the main worries are about firmware updates/support from Alcatel. I newer had Alcatel (only nexus and ZTE). Do you have some exprience with Acatel supprot? Will they supprot it at least one year (Android 5.1 or even 6.0?).

I hope the custom recovery is only matter of time.

Thanx for answers
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Karly Johnston:
Chrome does not scroll well on this phone. I had to switch to Dolphin to have a seamless experience. Alcatel has not had a history of pushing updates to their phones. As much as they talk to the media about pushing at least one major update to the Idol 3 I don't put much faith in it. Their philosophy has been selling a nice phone at a cheap price that you toss in a year and get a new one. As the battery in Idol 3 is not replaceable and very hard to tear down with no factory battery available, this phone is done when its battery is dead. I expect to get a satisfactory 18 months out of this phone running 5.0.2... just be glad it comes with a stable version of Lollipop.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] viperman240:
How can I make my PS 3 or 4 controller work on the phone?

I connected the OTG cable but it didn't do anything, I'm assuming I need an app for the controller to work.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] AmoledIsBetter:
You need to use programs that support controllers natively, or use a controller -> touch translator program.

Not sure how accurate the following information is, but it will give you a good idea of the processes involved: http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-...with-ps3-controller-or-other-gamepad-0157024/
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] babakgol70:
Hi friend

first of all you need root access. (xperia phones don't need root and any app)

you don't need otg. you can connect with bluetooth. (xbox wired controller need otg)

install "Sixaxis Controller" app on your phone.

and enjoy :laugh:
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] macallik:
IIRC, root access is only for using the controller via bluetooth. If you are connecting via wired connection (and downloaded the aforementioned app) I believe you should be ok.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] viperman240:
Thanks for the replies.

Well now the only downside is that the "Sixaxis Controller" app needs root access and the Idol 3 hasn't been rooted yet, so I guess I'll just have to wait until a root becomes available for this phone.

I also tried pairing it through bluetooth, but the phone doesn't pick up the controller sadly.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] mackster248:
Would someone be able to kindly post the ringtones and notification files for the Idol 3? Even the remixed versions. I really liked em and would love them if anyone has it. Thanks in advanced!

I wonder how good the performance is for watching videos. Also, how is the audio performance of this phone? I started to wonder why no producer has pushed a mobile phone with a line out option until now.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] xda-soar:
Video performance is excellent. YouTube and break videos play really well . Heat , which is been a problem , it is minimal when playing video . I think this SOC is optimized for video somehow . the dual speakers sound great . I haven't tried the phone with headphones yet . Web browsing is still slow and can cause the phone to heat up which is frustrating . But if you're interested in the phone for watching video it is awesome for that
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] skerry2006aj:
Thanks for answering!

My choice should be between Idol 3, Orange Nura and HTC 820.

Ultimately, I had choosen to wait until Orange brings Alcatel idol 3, as it seems best price/quality ratio.

I hope though that the known problems will be solved soon, as they seem solvable by software means.

I am yet to read about hear while browsing. Is it that bad? Also, about sound, I understood that while using music apps, some people had stutter, does it also happed with video playback?
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] gavolo:
yup. the only issue is probably the laggy ui and tap to wake. everything else is good so far. no other major issue for mine.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] skerry2006aj:
Nice!

I was kind of in between when I choose to wait for Idol 3, as the waiting time is quite anoying in Romania, but it seems that it might be worth it afterall.

I was wondering, as this is Alcatel's actual Flagship, I have the hope that they might try to push Android updates
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] maddog497:
I just sent mine back to Amazon as I had the tap to wake issue. It would work on a restart or if I disabled it and then enabled it. Other than that after 10-15 it would be hit or miss and more misses than hits.

I really liked the phone but I only had a couple more days that I could return it so I did. If they had put out even 1 update (other than the one that was there on my first start up) I might have kept it, even if just for a back up.

Without any updates within the first 4 weeks, I lost hope that they would support this phone in a timely manner.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Medina623:
Same I'm sending mine back this Monday cus I hate the dt2w and there isn't any updates after 4 weeks going on 5. Getting OPO instead

Sent from my 6045I
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] skerry2006aj:
I have been using a Orange Rono, and I had got only one update, but I still like it. Sometimes it closes itself, and the battery seems empty, and it has some other quirks, but considering that I paid nothing on contract for it, I am happy with it.

About Idol 3, as long as it is cheap, and what it can do is above most of the competition of the price point (the only other cheap phablet I found was Orange Nura, and Idol 3 has better cpu, better screen) I think that I can live with Idol3's quirks.

I would be very sweet to see new Android version though.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] skerry2006aj:
On the other hand, I cannot keep myself from asking, why would anyone use a octa-core microprocessor, instead of using a single quad core which to be under-clocked when doing simple tasks.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] stl1859:
I am no expert - but the big.LITTLE technology that is used by these ARM processors delivers much better power performance compared regular quad-cores. The big.LITTLE architecture is simply more efficient compared to dynamic frequency scaling that a single quad core would use. Not to mention - it is possible to switch on all 8 cores if you need .

If you are interested in more technical details, you can read here --> http://community.arm.com/groups/processors/blog/2013/06/18/ten-things-to-know-about-biglittle
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] skerry2006aj:
That was a very interesting read.

I do understand that big.little is more optimized for portable use, and is mainly an architecture great for smartphones.
[Onetouch Idol 3 General] Ace42:
Big.Little is great on paper, just like all the buzz words Nvidia uses to describe their SoC or the high transistor count Apple tends to market. In practice the phones that rely on it like the Idol, S6, G4, etc. aren't getting better battery than standard Quads like the 1+1 or G2.

Also I heard Nvidia created their own cluster management for X1, same with Mediatek since their X20 uses 3 clusters *face palm*.
