    Rs988 nougat 7.0 update.

    Yeah basic customer support usually know nothing about things like update. We would need contact with someone directly associated with updates to know. That said I'm sure nougat will come for the RS988 but when is a huge question mark. I'm pretty sure most major carriers in the US got the...

    Rs988 nougat 7.0 update.

    Eh CS knows nothing. I contacted them and they said unlocked G5s including my RS988 wont be getting the Nougat update. Pretty bad guess by the representative, but,if true they are screwed.

    Auto full screen video

    Is there a browser that will automatically full screen a video like dailymotion on android. Or is there a way I can do this? iOS does that and it's useful for a acquaintance that has visual impairment.

    Problem with Idol 3

    Thanks for your replies. As I said the person ordered a new one, and he'll decide to return the older one for a replacement or not (whether he has all the box/accessories). It wasn't faulty from the start, worked perfectly fine. Since it's not mine I don't know what caused it or what the...

    Problem with Idol 3

    Thanks. I've seen more suggestions on factory resets on XDA. That said no Factory reset and reset of cache did not help. Sometimes the Alcatel boot screen is white with stripe patterns, sometimes checkerboard patterns, and sometimes normal. Sometimes it gets as far as the idol 3 logo, or...

    Problem with Idol 3

    I have an Idol 3 that has screen flickering issues (blue screen). Also the phone will not boot up, or so it seems. Charging the phone after draining the battery I can see the screen work. Screen shows battery picture charging. Holding the power button shows the Alcatel boot screen. Problem...

    Phone won't turn on

    My Zenfone 2 arrived today and set it up perfectly. There was an OTA update so I began the update but the phone did not boot back up after it turned off to reboot/update. After this I cannot turn on the phone anymore. It will vibrate and flash the boot screen for less then a second and turn...

    So who's buying one?

    Yeah like I said all preference. The reviews I've seen just tended to point toward the Idol 3 for hardware quality (not by a whole lot). I'm not saying I'm right but I don't think anyone can say anyone's opinion and experience (though not direct) is wrong. So I stand by what I have...

    So who's buying one?

    I think it depends on people's opinion and preferences. IMO OneTouch Idol 3 beats the Zenfone 2 16GB and 64GB. Only pluses I see with the 64GB Zenfone is the 4x the storage (16GB vs 64GB) and the 2x of the RAM (2GB vs 4GB). Otherwise the speakers on the Alcatel beats the Zenfone 2 (Alcatel...

    So who's buying one?

    Ordered and received. I like the quality. It's unnervingly light which worries me if the quality of the internals is not that great or something but everything from screen, speaker, SoC, software, camera are good or great IMO. Might get two more for the family if it ever goes on sale again.

    I know this phone is great for its price, but is it a great phone on its own regardless of price?

    It's a great phone by itself (even better for the price) though you can't compare it directly to a $400+ phone since it doesn't make sense. I prefer it over all the similar priced options like Moto G/E, Zenfone 2, etc. At $199 I definitely think it's a good buy. Though it seems your sort of...

    Idol 3 Cases and Screen Protectors

    That's the case I got since it looked the best. Only difference is mine is not advertised as Evocel. Since this is a generic case there are many other brands. The one I bought was 'Armatus Gear' and it was $7.99 with Prime Free 2 Day Shipping. I believe it was the best priced and only one...

    Is it possible to buy a phone directly from T-Mobile without requiring a new plan?

    Thanks guys. Yes he is still using T-Mobile service. More likely we'll get a nicely priced unlocked phone like a OPO/OPT, OTI3, ZF2, etc but good to know we can buy a phone at full price in store.

    Is it possible to buy a phone directly from T-Mobile without requiring a new plan?

    Dad's 2 year plan has been over for a long time. With his minutes and text now being unlimited and data plan upgraded from 2GB to 5GB or 7GB he is perfectly fine with the plan. But the HTC One S is to small for him now. We are looking at getting a pre-owned LG G3 but trying to do so online...
