A lot of these people are comparing the lowest tier Moto G to whatever else that is available. On Alcatel's side, that would mean that you would compare the 4.7 inch model to the Moto G - and the only thing on the specs side on the Alcatel model is NFC - otherwise they are essentially the same phone - and the Moto G is waterproof - runs a later version of Android - and is from Motorola . So it does make for a compelling choice. When you compare the $220 model to the $250 Alcatel model, then the spec differences are wider. But for $180 , the Moto G is not a bad phone. If I did not have the option to buy the 5.5 inch for $200 , and the Moto G 2015 would have been around, I do not think I would have spent $180 to go with the Alcatel.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karly Johnston:
The Mi4i runs the same chipset and Geekyranjit says it is a laggy POS after update, before update it was overheating POS. There is something fundamentally wrong with the 615 chipset same as the 810. it just wasn't a good year to buy Qualcomm.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cas8180:
Must not be as all the new zenfone 2 models are running this same chipset.

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techware7:
Guys comparing Moto G 2015 to idol 3 in "smoothness" and somewhat "performance" should consider that G is pushing 720p. Idol 3 GPU isn't meant to run 1080p buttery smooth. No SD615/Adreno405 will ever run 1080p buttery smooth - it will run it just fine but with some drop frames here and there. If you want to play around and see how smooth the idol 3 will run then start changing your display size / density via adb and perhaps play with some vm.heaps. Then run some antutu or whatever and see how smooth/cooler your idol 3 will run with some basic changes to 720p - just some cents i'm dropping by...
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taphius:
The most recent update fixed almost all the lag I experienced. Only ad heavy websites are an issue now. Very pleased for the price.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gideonMorrison:
This, there are way more people reporting about a smooth experience than not. Also, try installing Adguard, that should improve things even further. I am convinced it's not because of underpowered hardware, more of a Lollipop 5.0.2/ software optimalization issue.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techware7:
Oh but it is underpowered. Not trying to say it wont be/it is not somewhat smooth cause the phone is 'somewhat' smooth - even more if you're a casual user. Throw a little bit of background noise and you start noticing its HW limitations and really it has a lot to do with what the phone is trying to push display wise. My wife idol 3 with almost nothing on it (around 20 or so extra apps than what it came with) runs like it should run - some little frame drops here and there (that she doesn't notice) but overall smooth (but not as smooth as a Nexus 5 or 4 stock running lollipop or anything else really with better HW/display ratio). My dad's idol 3? The same. My mom's idol 3? Same. Grab 200+ apps and make some active background noise and you start noticing a lot of things. Lower the screen to 720p and increase some numbers and you will see that you are underpowered. Not complaining, I'm actually happy with this phone and knew what I was getting from the beginning - heck $200? It's a deal!! Idol 3 is a miniature LG G3 - the LG G3 hardware trying to push Quad HD (and all other noise thrown at it) while this little guy is trying to push 1080p.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gideonMorrison:
The 615 is on paper and irl able to push 1080p and be smooth at the same time. There are other phones using the same chip and prove this. The new Huawei G8 will prove this as well. The current L build simply isn't good 'enough' and Alcatel maybe doesn't know how to iron out all the bugs etc. Hopefully we will get our 5.1 or M, otherwise ROMs will take care of it. In other words, it's a soft- vs hardware discussion...
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techware7:
Hell on paper the SD615 can even drive Quad HD. We already know it does 1080p fine. Idol 3 is an example of it as well as all SD615 devices driving 1080p. Grab some SD615 devices driving native 720p and compare them to some 1080p. You will see the difference; I have seen it first hand. All SD615 drive 1080p well, but just not as smooth/efficient/effortlessly as an SD800/801 would drive it. 720p is the spot for SD615 but 1080 is fine too. Again, it is just like a G3. Or a Silverado on a v6. Or... etc etc etc.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gideonMorrison:
However, that doesn't imply it cannot be further perfected, which was my point from the beginning. From what we have seen so far it runs 'fine' or even great, with further improvement possible. If only Alcatel would grant our wish...
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techware7:
Improvements: Somewhat; to a certain extent, but very limited. You see when you click on any app and run/load it, you will notice how slow it is when you compared to say an SD800. Don't get me wrong; for me the speed is fine but is no where near the power if an 80X series and thus its shortcomings when a SD615 is paired with 1080p.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gideonMorrison:
They could clock it to 1.7ghz. I'm sure if we'd get the 5.1 update it would also improve vastly.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techware7:
1.7ghz would be great. When you bring down a Nexus 5 for example to 1.4-5ghz territory you start to see some noticeable frame drops here and there - somewhat to what you see in the Idol 3. But when you raise it to 1.7-9 [MENTION=921577]1080P[/MENTION] is almost fine.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gideonMorrison:
I don't understand why didn't do it from the start anyway, I mean it's the 'official' maximum of the 615, why clock it only to 1.5? Probably battery related... Wonder if it's easy to overclock the 615 yourself. I'm sure they'd never overclock it themselves this late after release. Oh well...
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techware7:
Heat dissipation. Alcatel prolly didn't want to mess too much with heat issues /complaints.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gideonMorrison:
Most likely. One would expect to run an almost vanilla Lollipop with an Antutu score of +-33000 to run perfectly smooth... Keeping my fingers crossed for the future, it's still a young device.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techware7:
Well we have 50-70k antutu score devices not running smooth with 3-4GB ram with latest android and you know why? Because of the quad pixels they are trying to push.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gideonMorrison:
Never had that issue with my latest phone; Sony Xperia Z Ultra with a qualcomm 800/adreno 330 @ 1080p (Antutu +-40000)
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techware7:
That's exactly what I'm saying... Now try that SD800/330 with a Quad and see how it cries. SD800/330 is perfect for 1080p.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gideonMorrison:
Quad is superfluous anyway in my opinion. Anyways, the soft-/hardware debate is still a hot topic. I want the best possible optimalization for the i3 and I believe we have the 'right' to have it. So come on Alcatel, DO IT.

I absolutely cannot get a recovery to flash. I was running 5.1.1, unencrypted, rooted, twrp, etc. Went to flash the new 3rd M preview and kept getting an error on boot about the phone being corrupt or something. It would still boot and work fine and everything, just had the warning on boot. Tried booting into recovery and I got the alien with exclamation point above it (won't boot into recovery, it doesn't seem to exist). I've tried manually flashing both stock recovery, twrp, whole OTA files from both 5.1.1 and 6... pretty much everything I can think of. It's like the recovery partition just isn't taking the file when it is pushed. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Othoric:
When you booted into recovery and got to the screen where you saw the android with the exclamation point above it, you did press power+volume up correct?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imgladuhateme555:
I pressed vol down + power to boot into the bootloader, then volume up to recovery, then power to go into recovery. Same thing, just a longer way, right?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Othoric:
When you get to the screen with the android with the exclamation point above it, press power and volume up at the same time. That will let you access stock recovery.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imgladuhateme555:
Doesn't do anything. Just stays on the screen with the small android lying down with the exclamation mark.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master619:
Hi all, I'm considering the S6 or the Note 5 but mostly on camera features. I absolutely love the manual shutter speed option (up to 10 secs) on the Note 5 but if it's something that can be ported to the S6 I'll go with the S6 since it's cheaper and has enough features for me. After all they're using the same camera hardware so the features should be software-related only. Any thoughts?

So. Id like to use the Uverse app. Once logged in it requests root. Obviously it doesn't need it. I may have accidently granted root the first time, but have since in installed it and reinstalled it.

How can I hide root? I was aware of rootcloak...but it rarely worked for Google Play Movies and the like, and since the Xposed framework isn't really around, that isn't an option.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faaaaq:
The G4 has an entire gig less of RAM. Also, how do you "know for sure" the G4 has better ram management..? That is all on a software/kernel level.

Anyways. I can run Facebook, Chrome with multiple tabs, Fallout Shelter, Trillian, Facebook Messenger with active Chat Heads, weather apps, Z Launcher, various menu pages, the camera running in the background, the stock Launcher running in the background, etc, and I still have almost a gig of RAM free. Everything loads quickly and I can switch back and forth seamlessly without anything needing to reload.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faaaaq:
Possibly a good idea. I can't say why my experience differs so greatly from his. I can leave everything running overnight and it still all pulls right back up for me no problem. I don't believe I adjusted any settings, and I am still running the same software/OS version it came with NIB. Either way, it is a software/kernel issue. Once we get custom kernels and ROMs that can be adjusted at the press of a toggle, and Sammy will likely send an update to "fix" the issue (put it in quotes because I am not experiencing it myself, and I do not take that one video as proof it is an actual issue).

Note 5 overheating

I had the same problem with my new Note 5 64 gig from Verizon. It came out of the box with approx 35% charge and startup material said to charge to 100% so I plugged it in but only got to 55% before displaying a red exclamation point in a triangle saying it was too hot and wouldn't take any more charge. Red light also flashing. Let it cool down for an hour even though it didnt feel hot and then went through start up procedure but it kept overheating every few minutes, shutting down apps then the entire phone. Did not even feel warm to the touch. I wasnt doing any gaming or even web surfing. I sent maybe 2 simple texts and took one picture and it shut down the text app then the whole phone repeatedly. Spent hours on the phone with Verizon tech who couldn't fix the problem and finally advised me to take it back to the store and they would ship me a new one . Arriving today. Fingers crossed it was just a bad one.

I realize this post is a month old, but I just wanted to say that the operator logo has no business being on the physical hardware of the phone. Even if the device is subsidized, I'm by no means getting it for free. What I will pay over the years will recoup the subsidy of the operator and much much more. It's enough that they have their brand on the lockscreen and notification bar. Back of the phone as well? That's abuse.
