Bitchen!
Thanks for taking the time to share this while fixing your own phone. Most people don’t think that far ahead these days!
IMO, the “Idol 4” is a very underrated phone in part because Alcatel isn’t a big brand name in the USA.
It’s a “Goldilocks Phone”. Not too big & not too small.
The main issue is both good & bad all at once.
The “Idol 4” looks very cool. Basically it’s 95% glass! Glass on both the screen & the back which makes it really stand out & look like no other phone.
But… That very same issue also means that it’s very very slippery!
Slides smoothly on nearly EVERY surface which is obviously a recipe for disaster & that’s exactly what happened to me. It slid off the kitchen counter onto the tile floor & CRACK! goes the front & back.
Now… The phone works & the screen UI looks fine but the entire screen doesn’t respond to any touch.
As many of u can relate… I NEED a new phone NOW!
The dilemma now is…
#1) Go buy a new Idol 4 for $80+
#2) Wait for the Idol 5 & find a temp phone until then
