Should have some setting in device options.but you know the internet is a good place to look just Google your device to start as for the memory thing it's probably the stock ROM that it I has. I know that my one v sense took up a LOT

Try install antutu,you can see your phone spec in the system info.
Regarding the battery,imho,no software can determine real capacity,they only use interpolation from usage and prior setting.
Kernel and rom,are you rooted?
Be careful,don't mess them unless you know.
Kernel only can alter if you have source (unless you brave enough to build from scratch )
Rom,if you didn't touch it yet,it must be stock
What else,ram,it is normal not getting full 1gig,but it is not normal to reach 800mb in lean state.
Try to chack available ram soon after your phone started.
Normally arround 900ish
My suggest for you,china ohone is okay these days,but try to read/search prior order,so these question will get answered before you buy it
Enjoy

the problem is they won't answer to my mails
Bought it from android-sale.com
here is the device: android-sale.com/hdc-one-x-plus-android-phone.html
No replies... how unexpected... it's best to search some references before ordering on a random website... you wouldn't buy at a shady phone store, so why at a shady website?
As far as I see, there's not gonna be a refund. Guess you'll have to settle with what you have and save some money for a new one, or get a lawyer and go to court.

I Opened now a case in Paypal i hope it will help
i accept to replace to different device
what do you think? do you believe they will accept replace?
thanks for the help man!
Well, guess you'll never hear from them again. Their paypal account is probably empty, so cashback is not an option. I know people like that... if the paper trail is long enough, no one will follow it.
So, you made a bad call by buying this. Better luck next time!

frankly its your fault for buying a fake phone, next time buy from the manufacturer and respected resellers only
Hey good News friends!
After couple mails that they didnt answer me i open a case in paypal and hocus pocus!
guess what, they sent me replay that they accepte for a refund or a replace,
so my question is if i decide to take another phone, it is possible to backup all the apps and contacts and restore it to diffrent device?
for exemple I make a backup of HTC and want to move it to Samsung, possible?
Depends on what you see as a backup. The APK can be backed up with free tools, for the rest you'll need root and a paid tool like rom toolbox pro.

This is really a great device. Amazing price-quality ratio. I just bought one as a second phone and I'm very happy with it.
Performance is comparable to Samsung Galaxy S+ but with a nice 4.3 screen.
And Alcatel has promised an ICS update so fingers crossed.
@ whigga: yeah, it's really a great device with such cheap price. it's a steal!
hopefully devs can look into this phone. it's something like LG Optimus X2 of some sort.
Available here now for $280
I really like the 4.3" over my 4.1" phones,
Strange they made no 850MHz 3G units for countries that have the stronger frequency like Australia, USA, Thailand, China etc... for those that dont know 850MHz can penetrate into buildings to allow better indoor reception.
Just like to bump this thread. Any update of development?
Heey guys!
I just bought this phone 2 days ago, after my Galaxy Gio died 1,5 week ago.
I'm very happy to hear there are more satisfied users of the OT-995 who want a custom rom and XDA thread
Let's hope a good developer will also get this beautifull device!
By the way: does someone know a good way to root the Alcatel OT-995?
@ markvann: that remains the question. I still got an unrooted OT-995. tried those rooting procs, nothing works atm.

Hello Petalotis!
I just looked, and it seems there is not 512mb ram. It's exactly the same as it is with Xperia Neo V I guess, because my telephone says there's something like 370 mb ram. Normally I'm a heavy device user (except for my last one, the Galaxy Gio), but I have to say this smartphone can handle all the apps I want. I'm really happy with it, and on Quadrant Standard benchmark it even scores better than Galaxy Nexus (and on Antutu they have around the same amount of points). So I hope you don't get fooled by the 'not-so-high' amount of ram, and that you can participate in searching for OT-995 root methodes and ROMs!

I want to buy a new Android phone and this one catch my attention, i have a ZTE Blade and want to upgrade .
The launch of this phone in my country (Portugal) will be in 7 of May with the name of "Optimus Madrid" and the price maybe would be €229,90, i was searching here if anyone begun to developing custom roms to him, will be an asset.
+1 for development of this device
also I would ask the people who bought this device if they try to connect mouse or keyboard in mini usb gate ?
already seen a guide to do this in galaxy s (in this forum). Hub must accept external power because there isnt enough power in mini usb
is it possible that this works ? can you try to connect keyboard and mouse in hub or a usb flash
i would appreciate that
thank you very much
I also have the alcatel ot-995.
I''ve tried things like superonclick and z4root.
Is there any possible way to root my phone or do I just have to wait for a new rooting way.
Hello! I just bought is phone people , has as nice price!!!
And I hope someone considering spend some time to make the root possible!!

Just like to bump on this thread again.
To Devs: Hopefully someone out there who has the heart to develop a ROM for this nice phone would be love by all who bought this amazing price-to-performance phone.

This phone is perfectly capable of making 3g video calls. At least it works in Holland, where I live. Do realize that this functionality also depends on your network provider if they allow it.

Yeah, you're right! Software implementation is defenitely not as good as the hardware should allow it to be. Processor and ram are more than capable, but still there is lag where similar speced phones have none. Hopefully the promised ICS upgrade will fix this or otherwise hoping for some good 'ol custom rom development.
OT995 Potentials
I'm a freak of speed for low cost and the alcatel OT995 will definetly be
my next one!
Hopefully does developers see the potentials of this low budget device,
and make a masterpiece ready to challenge with high-end non-price-quality
phones!
I keep fingers crossed, once a project gets started, I buy one !
Hi guys, i'm kinda noob when it comes to android phones. This is my third android phone, it's a dual sim from china with an MTK 6575 cpu (works pretty well by the way). I had several problems with it (it restarted randomly, could not go into the play store, apps would stop working, etc), so i decided to flash it (bad idea). After flashing, i get either a blank screen, or no screen at all (only the red light led shows up). I'm guessing i don't have the right ROM for it.
Anyone can help me with a proper rom for this ?
The phone i have is ONE X 4.7" MTK6575 512MB RAM Android 4.0.4 - Brand name is ALPS (in the about phone details it showed up as HTC ONE X - with 1GB RAM and Quad core CPU, but when running antutu bench it showed the real hardware and specs).
Anyways, i've been looking all over for a ROM for this, couldn't find it anywhere, hope someone can help me out.
Thanks
Anyone?
You must've have apply the wrong rom for your device. You shuld revert back to stock rom (if any) i afraid you couldn't find one because rare support for chinese-made devices
Sent from my MT27i using xda premium
yea well, i already know that, i was just hoping someone has a proper rom for this... i saw a lot of roms for other chinese phones, so i'm guessing someone must have a proper rom for this...
So... Due to a low budget.. I've decided i'll settle up to buy a 2nd hand One X+
Which is why i'm asking u the people who have it.
Is it still worth a shot? In my range i can get an SIII (but my brother has one and I LOVE SENSE )... or the 1 gig ram is a bit out of its league?
If YES to the above question.... Then i would have to HAND PICK the One X+ from the market 2nd hand... So... Here are my "tests" to check the faults of it (so i can get a PERFECT WORKING phone) .. You see here in Pakistan. People play around with their devices and then sell them off when they're broken... About 80% of the case :/
So here are my tests PLEASE TELL ME IF U WANT ME TO TEST SOMETHING ELSE THAT I HAVE LEFT.
1. Androsensor (app) - for the sensors and their function.
2. Record a video and tap both mics to see if the other is working (saw alot of them having bugs here)
3. Display tester (app) - put it on FULL BRIGHTNESS and check the buggy display.
4. Manually check the scratches etc.
5. Check whether its disassembled or not (how do i do it? :/ )
6. Any other of u suggest
Thank you for ur time.

First, check if the phone lags, i.e., the lock screen should pop up with less than under 1.5s or 2s. If that happens, it means that the CPU is able to cope with the previous owner's usage and is still in a good shape. Multi-task apps. If the phone stutters during multi-tasking, put it down and test out another X+. DO NOT BUY THE S3! The S3 uses a processor which will lag over time. I've tried and I know it. Good Luck!:fingers-crossed:

Thanks alot can you please answer a few more would really appreciate it
1. I've heard there's this Wi-Fi problem with the One X+ devices (or was it the One X?). That the antenna on the back casing wasnt stable and rigid... However the newer versions had the problem fixed.. Is there any way to check the build version? of the HARDWARE.?
2. The "Screen Flickering"? It was fixed in the newer versions... Or is it that the display becomes old?
You are wrong sir
The s3 has a better gpu and software under the hood
Also the s3 will get better support and faster (and more updates)
+ it has a better camera

Hello,
I dont know if my topic fits here in the category (General)
But i have a fuw questions about my new smartphone (Xiaomi Mi3 WCDMA version)
Because i have always used a Google phone (android) MIU5 is a hole diffrent OS.
So my question is there a possible way to install Google Play, and that is very stable on it?
Because i know xda-board is a very advanced board if it is something about phones, so if somebody can help me out here.???

My Xiaomi Mi-3 Review.
New phone:
Since Xiaomi had released the Mi-3, there was an outbreak.
With the specifications and the low price Xiaomi had set an smartphone that is not only in China so populair but abroad the country to.
And you can see it with sales they made everytime the new stock was out.
In serval minutes there was a bunch of them sold out. The biggest one was more than 100.000 units in less than 90 seconds. You can see how populair the phone was. Because the new version with the latest highly clocked Snapdragon800 in it. Xiaomi set up an new variaty of people to there market.
Xiaomi is still out of stock in the most versions, and will be for a fuw moths.
Design:
The design of the Xiaomi Mi-3 is one of the most beuutifull phones ever made. The roundings the buttons the ultra-thin magnesium alluminum alloy gives the phone a very nice look. The roughness of the phone with his big 5 inch screens feels so nice in your hands. You dont have trouble with using one hand (only if you have big hands)
Hardware:
Xiaomi haves two versions of the Mi-3. The tegra4 TD-SCDMA only can be used in China, and the Snapdragon WCDMA an European/American/others parts of the world. Both CPU’s are diffrent clocked. the Tegra4 is clocked to max with 1.8Ghz, and the Snapdragon800 is clocked 2.3Ghz. The driffrence in the speed of the phone is actualy the same. Both versions are smooth tasking. There is no lag or something bothering you. With his 2GB on both version you are for now a happy guy. You can play the latest games on your phone as you want. With the new amazing LG Full-HD resolution IPS screen it makes the so beuatifull. The colors of the phone pop out. The angles on the screen are nice, somebody next to you will not having trouble to not see the screen.
Software:
Mi-3 is running on two diffrent android version. The tegra4 runs at an 4.2.3 android. And Snapdragon800 runs on an 4.3 newer version of the android. When you recieve your phone you can choose if you want to use it in chinese or English. If you choose english you still will see some chinese signs at the screen. This is one thing that the developers dont have chainged. But i cant hurt. You will not recieve Google App store on it, you must download it by your self. Xiaomi is very smart if you wanna use Google services, you must have an Xiaomi account, and trough the account you can download google installer. And from there you can use any google app you want.
Yes, it is possible!

I don't know if this is the right category for you question, but I'm not a moderator so I don't need to know that actually.
What I know on the other hand is that you can easily install Google Apps (GApps) on your Xiaomi Mi3. You won't need any experience with flashing gapps from internal storage or SD-card, it is easy as pie!
Once you have your phone open the MIUI Store and search for "Google". The developer Eric Xiang has put together an excellent Google Installer app. The name is in Chinese, but just search for it in English and you will find it. The installer will take care of everything else.
If that doesn't work, you should try rooting your device and flashing Gapps manually.
thank you in advance.
The GAPP store is in english right? Not chinese.
Hope i will can fix it. Uhm are there customroms made for the XIAOMI or not? So i can try that to if it doesent work for me...
How do you like the phone so far?

and yet another one by a friend of mine:
I have the phone for about 3/4 days right now.
And the MIUIV5 launcher, if you using it for the first time. Its a little bit strange.
But after using it for a while, you learn fast and see how powerfull the launcher is.
The 1ste you always do is install gapps on your phone.
I Had to make some questions an supported boards, to get it work. But now i am pleased with the usage of the phone and the powerfull hardware whats in it.
Love the phone for now, will definitly stay at the MIUI community.
One thing: i hope they can fix an Android Stock 4.4 Kitkat OS with multi-lang....
I dont know why Cynogenmod doesent come for Xiaomi Mi-3, or other custom roms for it.
XDA-developers are the moest anticipated people for smartphones, i hope they will be release an Xiaomi mi-3 miuiV5 or later v6 CUSTOM ROM OR SOMETHING.
i tough there will be alot of them because it is Androind but nothing
A nice review. I have a great apetytna this smartphone. Are you able to compare its screen with LG G2 or HTC One? I wonder if it is comparable to, or better or worse.

review: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49086774&postcount=1
The phone by it selfs is great, but there are some issues that i must solve before you can use the phone.
My issues are:
1. 3G not working well <- not solved
2. Ram is filling quikly <- not solved
3. Google account had some problems (was my fault because did not install google contacts.apk) <- solved
If these things are solved, than you have an bad-ass phone..

I'm using the latest MIUI version: 4.1.24 in Polish and I have no problems from the department in both the 3 and 2G. Everything in my MI 3 WCDMA works perfectly.
I have the CDMA version with miuiV5. It works great. No problems encountered. I just wish I knew how to make a custom ROM. I have a developer rom and the V5 rom. Tried both and they both work fantastic.
Maybe you know how to turn off the meter data. After exceeding the set limit further changes cause complications itelefon off my data transmission. I do not need to set this limit, I enclosed it with curiosity, and I have no problem.

Yes, me too.
It's very sad that there isn't a real development community for this great phones.
In my opinion the mi3 offers the best hardware on the whole market to a fantastic price. I can't understand why there are no developers for roms like AOKP or CM or AOSP.
When it will come to indonesia?

Quick question - Is this a 4G capable phone?

It is not. Perhaps it's successor - the rumoured MI3S - might have this feature.
Btw. I have a 64GB Mi3 and so far I am very happy with this phone; even without LTE-support.
I am very happy with my phone. It is a 64GB Grey Mi3. The 3G on AT&T is fine but slow.
The Data speeds are not that fast but it gets the job done. I get some time out errors from time to time.
I like to be able to get the Temp that displays on the lock screen and home screen(default) to display current location instead of in China. Can't seem to get the default Maps app to work in the US even with it locking in on GPS it displays China. Google Maps works fine but a little show and sometimes has defaulted back to a Chinese location first until a signal lock happens and then it will find my current location.
Starbucks app doesn't work on my phone.
When I click on an autocorrected word that has a red underline on it the app will crash and send me back to home. Bug has been reported.
When saving pictures from the internet it doesn't default to a standard folder. It uses the cloud folder and even with sync to cloud off I have to move it to the main local folder to get the pictures available to send or attach to email.
Speedtest.net doesn't connect to show download speeds. It will show a slow upload speed.
Visual VoiceMail doesn't seem to work on AT&T's network. If I give them my old HTC One IEMI number the visual voicemail works but the DATA does not. I can live with it for now.
Anyone got the Visual Voicemail to work with connecting Data on AT&T? If so what phone did they put in the system to make it work? the HTC One does not work. Confirmed this twice.
If they release an LTE version that would work with AT&T here that would be killer!!! I really do like the phone. The size, the weight, the shape. I would love to see this one in White or Silver 64GB.

There will be very soon, devices squad on snapdragon 800 SoC : xperia z1, zr (?), LG G2, Note 3 and more ... mean we can start poke their code to used as "base" to start write device tree on cm / aosp/ aokp. I have also very limited skill to write android code ... let us learn together. Mine on stock MIUIv5 and I satisfy with the phone performance. Miui serve what we need for basic computed including archiving/extracting files. It's handy i did not need to carry my laptop anymore when travelling
After saving up for a bit to buy a S4, I ended up buying a fake S4. Very frustrated but not sure what to do now :crying: It seems like the phone is on Android 4.2.2 and these are the info that I can get out of the phone's "About Phone" tab:
Build Number: JDQ39.I9500ZHUAMDE
Kernel: 3.4.5
1333 V3
Is there anything I can do to upgrade to newer Android? Also, I tried loading the bootloader and apparently it's in freaking Chinese. I hate these fake craps. Does anyone know what can I do with this phone now? I'm about to file a police report. So frustrated now.
File the police report.

before buying you shoud test it by benchmarking apps, like antutu you can easily see how it reders 2D/3D graphics, and you should have knowledge about the phone you want to buy in the first place, read may reviews, unboxing in the internet.
