[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attitude_it7:
While driving i am having same issues with bluetooth also. I have tried 5-6 different bluetooth. Even i got replacement of phone but i am having same issue. It is mainly during driving as phone is trying to go from LTE to different networks. I can see this very easily if i have Wifi on, as it seems it tries to scan wifi during trip and then bluetooth lags voice and in few incidents does not give any sound.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ItsDon:
I'm glad that Alcatel is responding to the emails. What/when they issue update is a great concern as I have no history with them. Do they take 1 month? 6 months on average?

My biggest gripe is the lag. I have both an HTC One M7 and a LG GPro that both use the Snapdragon 600 processor and both destroy the Alcatel in opening apps and general OS snappiness. The Alcatel has a better SD615 processor, a better graphics chip and a leaner/cleaner OS than either of the other two. It should be at least as fast if not faster. Alcatel needs to spend some time optimizing the OS for smoothness and speed.

If they can address this they have a winner on their hands. My three biggest 'wants' in a phone are:

-Bright display (I live in Texas)

-Great sound (which is why I love my HTC One M7)

-SD Card support

This phone has it all, I'd like a better camera but I knew it was just "OK" when I bought it. Just fix the lag please....
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] py_martinez:
About the lag : have you tried the LG g3, it is also very laggy!

About htc I had the m7, m8 , and desire series... You can't beat HTC sense fast and fluid ui [emoji2] [emoji35] ...

That's the reason why I always feel sad when I try to buy another brand (note 4 , g3...) They aren't as fluid as HTC..

AMR-WB

ro.ril.enable.amr.wideband=1 is nowhere to be found in build.prop. Thus the AMR-WB HD Voice that they claim to support on the spec sheet does not work.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shodan5150:
I have no idea what that means.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdarcangelis:
HD Voice on T-Mobile does not work. I decided to take a look at the build.prop file under /System and its missing the line of code to enable HD Voice (AMR-WB, not to be confused with VOLTE)
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shodan5150:
Have you contacted Alcatel OneTouch? Maybe they have the code somewhere else.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian117:
I got a response back from them today about an inquiry about future updates. They responded with a clueless response except for at the end.

Noticed they spelled "planned" wrong but meh. Doesn't give me any hopes of updates.

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gavolo:
all the cso are just replying the same. its the same situation for most brands because they will have no idea whats going on until they get official info to release to public. standard replies.

the phone is just out not too long ago thus no point keep dwelling over updates at this moment
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddog497:
I disagree with the statement about it being just released so therefore cut them so slack.

Asus Zenfone 2 put out 3 or 4 updates in the first month. Now it's every other week, give or take. If you want to instill confidence in your product and your ability to address flaws, you can't sit back and wait for everyone to jump ship before you address the problems. You have to be ahead of it.

I'm frustrated with my double tap 2 wake not working to the point I'm going to return the phone.

It has great promise, but if Alcatel can't be bothered in supporting their products, neither should I.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mes3:
Not every company is Asus. Even the big dogs don't update their flagships as much as Asus has with the Zenfone 2. If they never update this phone again? Fine, lesson learned. I have a feeling they will update it, just not as fast and as much as we'd all like.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Medina623:
Not true, when HTC heard about there camera they were on it and the released an update as soon as they could to fix there issue. So if Alcatel did want to make us believe that they were going to update they could send out a small update to at least fix the issue with double tap to wake.

Sent from my 6045I
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddog497:
I totally agree. Asus didn't fix the battery drain on the first update but by pushing out updates regularly, it gave the impression they were trying. No updates and it appears they are not trying.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SchmidtA99:
I'd rather have to wait for a bit to get 5.1 with the other fixes rolled into one. Instead of constantly get updates weekly that.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karly Johnston:
Just renable under gestures if it gets wonky, works everytime. Zen2 has nothing on this phone but speed.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mes3:
I agree it would be nice of them to release an update fixing all the small things, but who knows whats going on. Are they just saying screw it and rolling the fixes into 5.1? You might see an update this week! Who knows!

i just tested the idol 3 (4.7) in a store about 10 minutes an i felt some overheat issues. Is anyone has the same feeling?

thanks

Yea you'll mostly feel the heat issues around the camera , mine gets pretty warm from that area

Just got mine, awesome phone, except the heat bothers me. Is it only during charging, because I have had it plugged in only. Could software fix a heat issue?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troysyx:
I appreciate all you guys giving some great feedback on this device. So my question to you all is this: If i have a budget of $200-$250, should i get a new/used Idol 3? or a used M8?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stl1859:
Can't talk about used - since I shy away from buying pre-owned electronics. If you only want to spend $200 , then your only option really is the 2 GB Zenfone2 . Now if you are willing to spend $250 - then the OnePlus One is a compelling bargain right now. All tests are showing that it is clearly faster than the Idol 3. And I can personally confirm that the camera performance is way better - I compared my Idol3 to my colleague's OnePlus One. One thing to keep in mind is that the OnePlus One has a Snapdragon 801 - that is Quad-Core , 32 bit , ARMv7 . With the Idol3 you are getting an Octa-Core , 64 bit, ARMv8 chip. Clearly the OnePlus One is faster , *for today's applications* - that is an important point. This is something I considered when pre-ordering my Idol3 ( not to mention - at that time the Idol3 was $50 cheaper, and the OnePlus One $50 more expensive - that means a difference of $100 ) . I knew very well that I was getting a slower chip - but I wanted to get something that was future-proof. We never know what applications / OSs will come up that will effectively utilize the 64 bit architecture and all eight cores and only work on ARMv8 . There is nothing like that yet - of course - but we do not know the future.

But if you are looking for a fast phone, with great camera - for today - I would actually recommend the OnePlus One - even though I am keeping my Idol3 - despite the things that I do not like about it .
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troysyx:
Thank you so much for the really well thought out reply. I am aware of the 32bit/64bit disperancies, however, i'm definitely weighing the benefit. Right now i might even gravitate towards the M9. i actually have an S6 right now and am sick of it so i want to sell or trade it for something else. However i was looking for possibly a cheaper 'floater' phone for the time being. The idol 3 really impresses me with everything it offers for the price, however i'm just worried about the day to day things and how much its going to skip or lag while i'm using it. I'm not a huge gamer by any means, but i'll play some Leo's Fortune or Mortal Kombat every once in a while. Will the Idol 3 handle that?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stl1859:
I cannot help with your gaming question since I am not a gamer. Angry Birds is pretty much my limit - and that too - I play it on my tablet ( which is much slower than this phone ) - I simply cannot get used to playing video games in this form factor. Hopefully someone else over here can answer your question, or you can check out some videos on YouTube. I do remember seeing a video that demonstrated four games being run simultaneously on the Idol3. As far as the lag is concerned, what I have noticed is that there is a general UI lag which is pretty random. Otherwise, it is not a *slow* phone. Loading it up with apps, does not make the lag worse. It is always there, and it is pretty random. And honestly, it really does not get in your way , unless you are really looking out for it. But again - my 'day to day' - may not be the same as yours. My biggest use cases are WiFi calling, GPS , and music - and this device has been perfect for those things so far. And although I would not give the camera high marks , I have noticed that with enough practice , I can use it the point that I can leave my point and shoot away for casual use. ( see my camera thread for more )
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TallTommy:
I picked up the phone last week with that great Amazon $179 deal. I just wished the phone had better volume controls. The one notch above being silent is still loud so you either have no sound or loud, or much louder.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bokaco7:
I can mention 3 issues, so you can add it to you mail :)

1. Terrible overheating

2. There is no update in eastern europe!!! What they mean? In my country nothing is cheap. Idol 3 5.5 price is about 400 usd. And we didnt get update.

2. There no options to double tap from ock screen. I mean this - you double tap to wake up and screen turns on. You for example just want to see the clock, so you dont wont to unlock the phone. It will be nice if you can to double tap on empty space on lock screen to put phone back to sleep. Now, the only option is to unlock, and double tap to sent phone to sleep.

I also write mail to alcatel, but no answer. Shame

Thanks :)

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LauraHalls:
Hello, as much as I appreciate Samsung's concern for my health and safety, I am getting annoyed by the volume notification that says "Listening to music on high volume for long periods of time might be harmful" etc., sometimes I'm out running and I try to turn up the volume, it'll vibrate and block it, so I'm forced to pull out my phone and dismiss the freaking notification.

I tried searching for it in the settings, nothing came up as a toggle switch off.. Thanks ?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rankoradza:

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flu13:
Nothing you can do about it without root. Samsung doesn't understand that external bluetooth devices have independent volume controls, apparently.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humblehyper:
How do you do it when rooted?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flu13:
I actually don't know on this phone. On the S4, I used Xposed to remove the volume warning, but I don't know if that's available for the S6 yet. Might check the S6 development forums to see if there's anything.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxbeanxx:
This is an Android feature, not Samsung. I think Google added it in KitKat to comply with some laws somewhere.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raduque:
I'm pretty sure it's a Samsung thing. The Moto G 2nd Gen running the 5.0 update doesn't do it, and didn't do it on the shipped 4.4 OS.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxbeanxx:
My LG Optimus G does it and so does my Nexus 7 (stock Android).
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raduque:
Well, I didn't know that. I don't use Google-stock android devices, and the Optimus G, when I had it, never did that. I did sell it before the update, though.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] maxmousee:
I'm on the last 5.0.2 for Moto Maxx Retail Br (FIRMWARE ending with .16)

Only Bluetooth is having some random connection issues.

If they fix it and keeps/improve this stability, I think it'll be great! :}
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Hopefully, 5.1 for all the Quarks will be released at the same time: U.S. Droid Turbo XT1254, U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250, International Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo XT1225.

Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo XT1225 has had 5.0.2 since March. But I knew Motorola wouldn't give us 5.1 until Verizon signed off on 5.1 for the Droid Turbo. :rolleyes:

Also would be great for Motorola to post kernel source code to Motorola's development GitHub sooner rather than later, for custom ROMs. Back in 2014, took them up to 3 months to post the source code for some updates -- which they are obligated to release under Android license.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
GPL license actually and there is a gotcha in it: there must be an official request for it first and the stipulation of it being released in a reasonable amount of time is open to interpretation. On top of that, they are not required to deliver it digitally.

GPL has all sorts of unfortunate loopholes and GNU won't take people to court who violate it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Flowah:
I don't suppose anyone knows the chances of us getting to keep root with this update....
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
If you have unlocked bootloader or bootloader than can be unlocked -- like the U.S Moto Maxx XT1250 and International Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo XT1225 -- then yes you can keep root.

For the other Quark phone, the Droid Turbo XT1254, will depend on the magic of those skilled people who did it the first time -- IF you accept the OTA.

Down in the development section, there's a rooted ROM for the Droid Turbo. Guy says you can flash his ROM, he will keep it updated to 5.1, and don't take the OTA:

Computerfreek274 _ Turbo _ 1.5.5B All in One 5/22/2015
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] reggie14:
I'll believe this when I see it. There's no way Motorola and Verizon would move forward with this update without a fairly large soak test. Too much stuff changed going from 4.4-5.x. 6/10 is a week away, and there's no sign soak test surveys have gone out yet, so I doubt we'll even see a soak start by that date.

I do think we're getting close to v5.1. 6/10 might have even been the target date for the release or a soak. Or maybe it's a target date for the final build which will eventually go out in a soak.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
I'm skeptical too, but I will be happy to be wrong.

July 2015 was the original leaked schedule for Lollipop (after 5.0.2 was scrapped) for the Droid Turbo, leaked by someone back in March with supposed inside information. This is what I posted May 16:

So, we'll see.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Snow755:
So I wonder when we get the android 5.1 update will it be android 5.1 or will it be android 5.1.1

Or when we do get the upgrade may be it will be android 5.1 at 1st and then get android 5.1.1 has a update fix later on
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Technogen:
I'm sure Moto will find 5.1.1 too hard to upgrade to and too much work so they will just skip to M next year. :|
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
95% of phones out there won't be getting an M update this year, so you are probably right.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Martingitdave:
Well, I am looking forward to the release sometime in July. Fingers crossed. I think with the hardware power of this device, getting a software makeover will make it more attractive. Especially, considering they lowered the price. The more they sell, the more likely they are to support it going forward.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Flowah:
You think we'll get M? I doubt it unless someone we got ROMs somehow.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Technogen:
Yeah I am sure they will give it M but that will be it. We will need to unlock the bootloader to go any further.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gqskrub:
Yea, I'm never buying a Motorola on Verizon ever again. #NexusOrDie.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Slartibartfast_:
Jokes aside, the time it's taking is really making me wonder what they screwed up in our phones that they're afraid to admit. I'm sure they did have plans to give us lollipop shortly after it was released. We know other, almost similar phones have lollipop already, we know all of verizon's bloatware is compatible with lollipop and we know they can make VOLTE work just fine. The process of upgrading the Turbo to Lollipop shouldn't have taken THAT long unless they've been working on some big issue.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Galaxo60:
The million dollar question:

Why do the Moto Maxx/Turbo have Lollipop already and the Turbo doesn't?.

Actually is the same phone essentially, just not Verizon branded.

Get your conclusions...

:cool:

---------- Post added at 06:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 AM ----------

Maybe besides the screw up stuff, they are testing a lot of things to maintain the bootloader locked and no more exploits to have WiFi tether and other things.

:confused:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] PittAussie:
They are probably trying to work out how to crack the bootloader and write protection for us. They want that bounty....
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] koftheworld:
Best response to a crappy situation.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] PittAussie:
The same WiFi tether exploit is on every other Verizon smart phone. I see no reason they would fix it on the Turbo and not on other phones. Rather than change the provisioning method, it would be easier for them to just detect tethering from their end or via their own apps. Both the My Verizon app and the VZ Protect app already have permission to "retrieve running apps" and "run at startup" so it's not hard for them to check for various tethering apps. They just choose not to enforce it at this time. That could change without notice.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Galaxo60:
As easy as a Lollipop update they should have since many months?.

That being said I don't understand what is taking so long either, and think it is kind of lame.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Wynnded:
It blows hard, but I can't do squat about it. So I don't think about it, the time seems to pass so much faster that way. Then when the official announcement is made, :good:.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Technogen:
Well looking at it logically they already have 5.0.2 done for the Moto Maxx, so there shouldn't be any large issues getting Android 5.X core working on the turbo as they already have the baseline code. That means that their problem area is most likely firmware related. So they could he having issues with the base band upgrade failing a % of the time and bricking the phone. Or it could be completely finished ready to roll out, and for whatever reason VZW does not have OTA slots available to push the update out. There also could be that they are holding off waiting for the "Droid Turbo Mini" to launch so that its "better" than the turbo.
