same experience.

was playing with my kid on the playground, phone in front pocket, after 10 minutes pulled phone out, couldnt even see the crack, kept trying to swipe my pattern and finally after 5 tries of it not working, looked at the phone closer and sure enough, cracked bottom right corner in screen. what a fragile piece of crap. are other 5.5" phones this fragile? 5.5" was bigger than i like anyway and this is a valid reason to never get such a phablet again. the phone repair guy in the mall had no idea what to do with this model, he never heard of it. lol another reason to stick with major brands.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surgat666:
same here...

the same happened to me, left top corner of the device is cracked and 1/2 bottom of the screen is not working anymore i dont know what to do i have had this phone for a month only... sad because is a great phone but unfortunately is made from really cheap materials i would recomend to save a little more money and get another device rather than this...

Oh wow, reading this thread kinda scares me. I have an Idol 3.

One night, I had my lights off, and I stepped on my charging cable, which pulled my phone from my PC, and slammed it really hard against my PC chair. I heard a loud BOOM, was like "Oh god! Please don't be my phone, please don't be my phone!". I turn on the lights, and to my horror, the phone is screen first into the bottom of my chair, against the wheels. I turn my phone upside down, expecting the worst, and not a single crack or scratch on the screen. I was so surprised. I even held it into the light, to try and see for any damages, and nope, just a **** ton of finger prints.

I guess I got really lucky. I should maybe buy a case, lol.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikola Jovanovic:
Mine was out of the case and fell from my knees to concrete and got 2 bumps. Without the case it is easy to make damage to the phone. Also the paint wasn't peeled, but plastic dented a little.

I waited a whole month for the screen. They ended up refunding my money, stating that it was lost in the mail. I'm still on the hunt for a new screen assembly. It's strange that they have the 4.7in LCD assembly for sale on ebay, but there aren't any for the 5.5in. If anyone is able to find a replacement LCD assembly, please let me know. Thanks.

Another screen gone here (albeit with a fall).

2 feet on to laminate flooring in the house and despite the phone being in a case the glass went like an egg shell.

Very disappointed to say the least, it is only 6 weeks old. Alcatel support is terrible in the UK so im going to replace it with a Moto G.

Replacement glass on the UK is "around" £90 according to the official repair centre (01233 619320). At that price they can shove right up where the sun doesn't shine.

Hey guys.

I bought my Alcatel Idol 3 (5.5) about one week ago. I really love the phone as it is really great upgrade from my previous Sony xperia e1. Big screen, nice colors, design, etc.

I dropped it for the first time last night, about 50cm off the ground. Happily I bought glassy cover for the screen the other day and thats it what broke. The original screen was undamaged.

I wonder what would have happen if I had not the screen cover?!
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batpot:
Mine also got a crack w/out a drop.

How did you guys contact alcatel? I created an account here:

http://alcatel.finetw.com/

And submitted an RMA request on Friday, but have heard nothing back.

I got mine on launch, and unfortunately citi only has protection for 120 days from the purchase.

Looks like a new screen & digitizer is $81 US on ebay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Alcatel...bly-LCD-Display-Touch-Digitizer-/321937880696

Or $25 for just the digitizer:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/USA-For-Alc...5K-6045Y-Touch-Screen-Digitizer-/371371513401

...which is pointless, given the glue, right?

Mine is definitely only the digitizer.

I have one of these phones and the screen has broken twice now, dropped it only from about 2 feet off the ground both times and it broke and the places that are cracked are unusable. Very weak phone, never had a phone break this easy before.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeik:
Fell over 5 times,2 times on screen and other times on the sides. Not a single scrape on the screen(the plastic frame did get scratches,though).

Buy a case and a tempered glass screen protector,its not like they cost a fortune.

I got a TPU case and a tempered glass screen protector for under 5$ on AliExpress.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dante501:
Mine works fine no bend. I honestly think it is operator error. Phones aren't ment to be put in the back pocket to sit on them. Also phones aren't ment to be dropped. Maybe if ppl can't treat it normal and wouldn't do stupid stuff to it it wouldn't break. Hmm never had any phone broken screen or anything. Ppl just don't treat there stuff in a normal fashion.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingArthur10:
Had one for three months. Slipped off of the couch cushion (maybe 2 ft) onto the floor. Picked it up and didn't think anything of it. Went to work, and when I pulled the phone out, the digitizer was going absolutely crazy. Didn't see any issues at all. Rebooted phone, and now only the top quadrant of the phone still works. Pressed on the screen, and two spider cracks showed themselves.

Not going to spend >$100 on a $200 phone for a fix that will likely not solve the root issue of the phone being poorly built.

Hello

I've have the same problem. Screen broke while in my pocket, now 75% of the screen is unresponsive :(

I guess the build quality is just insufficient...

I got the phone trough the warranty of my nokia lumia 925 (wich i bricked during the rollback form the wp10 beta) so i'm not to upset.

Going back to a 2nd hand lumia 925, that thing was awesome!

Sad but true

I too am dealing w/a broken sceen. Only truth be told I have dropped my phone a time or ten (oops my bad!) Yes w/a case. The phone has showed some resilience I have to say. However! The phone fell off my couch n the upper left corner landed on a coffe cup cracking the upper left side diagonally from about the power button to the middle of the speaker. Not shattered just three lines the long one to the speaker n two small diagonally off of that one to the upper left corner. It's Sux n I probably could have prevented w a protective glass (jack ass! Ijust hadn't gotten to it) Aaanyway, totally minor and superficial right? WRONG WRONG WRONG! This small Crack has rendered my touch screen USELESS! The phone is fine the screen has not been affected buy this no bleeding of the led/lcd screen or blurring when pressure applied to any spot. It just Incapacitated my phone FROM BEING USED!! I have seen phones w screens so shattered u can hardly read n they truck along. All I'm saying is for something so minor to paralyze the entire screen Sucks.!! I too am/was a big fan of this phone Especially for the price! But I can't n don't think the vast majority can baby a phone like this one seems to require. I'm curious if you replaced your screen -what it cost you - was it a pain due to how it's attached?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muskoka:
Just had my screen replaced by a repair shop here in Ontario, Canada. Cost was $120, took about an hour. Mine broke the same, dropped it on a table from about 2 ft and cracked 2 ways down the screen making only 1/4 of the screen usable. I do have a case on it, they are a fragile phone.

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbi897:
I am dealing with a broken screen as well.

If the touch is not working, but the display itself seems to work fine, should I just replace the digitizer ?

Or should i just replace both the digitizer/LCD ?

Any complexities replacing just the digitizer - any one done it?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unjustified Dev:
I recommend getting a whole frame off eBay for around $60. Not sure which country your in though. I recently just purchased a LCD+Digitizer and I had trouble keeping it glued still having issues. The frame is much easier to install anyway the LCD+Digitizer is very very thin and you might break it installing it. Forgot to mention I only paid $35 for the screen. Unless you have a LCD digitizer separating tool I don't recommend getting just the digitizer.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psu2fan78:
Yeah I second what unjustified said, make sure you get a frame/LCD/digitizer assembly. Installation is much easier and the cost difference is minimal at this point. My screen busted a total of three times with the phone, I've now given it to the wife with a hard case (necessary imo) and it's holding up OK. Hopefully with the 4s they made the frame more rigid.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] famewolf:
Provided you order as you suggested (and whats the cost for the whole package roughly?) what's the difficulty level of the replacement? The one and only time I took a phone apart to have a miniusb port fixed it was a major PITA.

My SOP is to pretty much always get a hard case and a glass screen protector...let IT take the damage. So far those precautions have covered the drops I've had with my last 3 phones.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unjustified Dev:
I paid $65 for a whole frame the installation is easy. You have to remove the motherboard, the bottom speaker ,one or two ribbons, and drop them on the frame and put your back on and your done. The LCD+Digitzer was much worse I had to remove the frame all components and heat it so I could remove the screen. Once I got it removed I had to use adhesive spray tape wasn't thin enough to fit in that area properly(the kind I had), and I had to lift it over and over to get it to fit because the ribbon kept getting in the way trying to sit it in the frame. I'll never buy just a screen again mine already has spots where lights bleed in.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psu2fan78:
As unjustified said it really wasn't difficult. I went slowly and spent maybe 40 mins on it. Yeah a hard or hybrid case is a must; I've been spoiled in the past with metal phones so I always used tpu cases.. No more. I think I paid 55 for a "mint" frame assembly. Not mint but good condition anyway, I hate even the smallest scratches :p

Anyway the fact you've opened a phone before tells me you can do this without much trouble. The only spot you need to really go slow with is the battery, pry gently. I used a teardown video on YouTube as a guide.

I purchased a Alcatel Idol 3 about one month ago I also bought a rubber case for it. Sunday barely 28 days from purchase I noticed that parts of my phone were not working. Then I looked at the phone carefully and the screen has a tiny cracked in two places with very fine lines that are barely noticeable. I did not drop it and I do not carry it in my pocket so what cracked it. I am pissed because of course they do not believe that I did not drop it or hit it with a hammer. They will not even try to help me. I called the phone carrier and where I bought it, I sent a message to Alcatel they are not contacted me and doubt they ever will . I really don't understand why theywould even sell this phones if they crack so easily and it was not cheap. I at least want my money back for a bad product..
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChristCrusader:
I'm on my 3rd screen.

2 drops.

1 just from pocket pressure.

If it weren't for it being such a bright and loud phone for cheap with great front facing speakers at just the right size (4.7), I'd give up on it.

Screen replacements have been <$50.

Next one I'll try to find a decent case, but will miss the thin smooth phone in my pocket - but apparently it can't survive there anyway.

Hey Guys/Gals;

I am very aware that Rooting & Bootloader unlocking are two completely separate entities, my question on this matter is though, Is there anyway in which I can someone use the "Unlock OEM Bootloader" and ADB commands to my advantage to be able to flash a .zip for SuperSU?

Basically I find the "Stock ROM" for the LGUS991 to be good enough on its own merit that I do not want/need to change the ROM itself (So I do not really have a need for TWRP or CWM for that aspect), I would just like to install a couple of Root required apps for changing around some theme options and status bar modifications (things I could do with Framework Modules for example).

Is this all basically just a pipe dream (at least for now until we can get full Bootloader access) or is does this sound like something that might actually be able to be accomplished?

[Sorry if this is a super-noob question, This is my first non Samsung/HTC device so I was used to always having the root methods being there from day one of my old device purchases]

Just curious, did you downgrade your phone back to the Spanish ROM to verify that the English ROM is what caused your problem?

Because if you did, and that did confirm the bug was related to the ROM, I'd sure like to know what ROM you used, because it contains a "bug" that people on this thread have been trying to duplicate as a "feature" for a long time now (namely, turning on the keyboard backlight when the keyboard is opened, rather than on a key-press).

Need to be pointed in the right direction of how to go about fixing my tab.

Flashed a kernel not meant for the P500 (Woops) and ended up mostly hard bricking my tab.

I've been searching and haven't quite found a fix. Have tried researching about jtagging it, jigging it, etc.

Have also tried at using QPST to revive it, but no luck getting through the appropriate steps, although I've installed the qualcomm drivers needed to turn show it as a COM port successfully. (It was showing as qhsusb_dload in device manager previous to that.)

I know it's not a soft brick. The tab is "on", because it shows up in device manager, but the screen is forever black, and I can't boot it normally. Doesn't make sound, no lights, nada.

Any ideas/suggestions?
