According to Chris Tiu, official brand ambassador for Alcatel One Touch:
“ALCATEL ONE TOUCH GLORY 918N is perfect for me. It suits all my need. I’m a very mobile person and I’m usually traveling. I love checking my mails while on the road. I’m also a twitter person and I always update my twitter status. It has a camera so you just take picture wherever you are and just post it. It has dual sim standby, runs on an android operating system so you can download a lot of apps and games—just everything I need. Now consumers can have all these features in an Android Smartphone for a very good value of Php5699.”

how can we off the shutter sound in the cam coz it can distract otherswhen taking a pics pls help
you can’t, but there’s a way by installing an application to turn off the shutter of the camera… i just forgot the name off that application.
put it in silent mode shutter will also shut off
it’s still not working
Just download SILENT CAMERA app on Google Play Store, use that when you have to use your camera on silent mode. Hope this helps.

How to turn off the shutter? reply asap!
theres no way on turning off the camera sounds.. all u have to do is to download a SILENT CAMERA on market..
shutter sound is really annoying
my battery runs out quickly
Thats my problem too.. but try to download Battery Saver it really can help
my battery runs out quickly!!! and when u take picture so dim…
You can’t expect too much from an entry level smartphone. If your budget allows it, try something in the mid level smartphones
cannot connect to camera… what to do?
Just restart your Alcatel Glory phone and wait for 10 to 15 minutes before using the phone. Usually works this way.
phone is quite good except for being very limited by its built-in memory (150mb internal, and 256 ram only). can’t install a bunch of apps due to this limitation.
i have this problem to. its too annoying that your phone is too slow and can’t dl a lot of apps. this is my question if i change my sd to 16 or 32 gb is their a possibility that this phone can run fast?
Hi Paul.
No, storage does not add to the “fastness” of your phone. Same goes with Samsung Galaxy Y. I guess this is a common problem with entry level smartphones.
Better go for mid level phones if you can stretch your budget a little bit. Have you tried Alcatel One Touch 995 Sapphire HD?
i have a problem on how make a name to the picture i just capture and how to minimize or shut off the cam shutter. pls help meeeeeeeeeeee

Hi..i love this phone/my alcatel glory phone,my only concern is that,how can i transfer all my downloaded apps.to my external memory?so that my internal memory won’t be full?pls.help..tnx
Same problem here. I love the phone but gets frustrated because of its limited internal memory. Just now got notified on some program updates… after doing the updating, got an error code saying “… update error due to limited memory”. Is there any solution for this? would be glad to hear if someone says the memory chip can be upgraded. if this can be the case, how? thanks in advance.
same problem here..is the internal memory upgradeable?if yes,how?so that i can download more apps..thanks
If you have wifi, go to Play Store and download “App 2 SD Free”. Then you can add some apps all your SD can! ^_^
Not all apps can be transferred to SD.
BUT THE STORAGE IS FULL
battery only last for a day. how and where can i download the silent for shutter. its embarrassing taking pictures with that loud sound.
(
try the android market, now google play
if necessary, set your phone into silent mode when taking pictures..
is it a quad band or a tri band?
QUAD Band..
I have a question…What is the difference of a QUAD BAND and a TRI BAND?
tri band is the older type of GSM network frequency. You can’t use tri band on some regions that does not support those frequencies. However Quad band supports all. That’s why people who are traveling abroad usually gets a quad band phone.
Quad Band -> GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
Tri Band -> GSM 900/1800/1900
Some countries/region only use the 850MHz frequency which a Tri Band phone does not support.
i cant connect with the wifi. i was using it beside the router but still cannot connect. error message was: disconnected. secured with WPA/WPA2 PSK. pls help. im starting to hate this unit!
That’s because you are trying to connect to a secured WiFi connection. -> WPA/WPA2 PSK
You need a password to connect to that network.
Is the WiFi you are trying to connect in your house or outside?
If you can’t still connect even if you have entered the password for the network or if you can’t even connect to an open network, probably there is something wrong with your phone.
what phone are you point to? is it phone unit or is it Phone DSL wifi?
coz this is my problem to.. i check out at pldt n type the default gateway n found at that my password that I’d typed was correctly through my mobile and when i try to connect to my phone thru wifi router couldn’t complete(it said::’ authenticating, saved/secure wpa/wpa2 psk, connecting, authenticating, and it turn off itself wifi and on again and connecting)..
how can i fix that,? would you mind help me this trouble?
my unit is Alcatel glory 2 one touch (android)
I’m referring to your router. That one that is sharing the WiFi connectivity
are the new casings available now in the market?
I’m not really sure. Are you from Dagupan? Have you tried online gadget stores based in Ph?

Not really sure. Even high end phones will break if you drop them
Exactly.. nonsense question
the phone is cool..this is the first night ill be charging it..goodluck to me..hope that i wont encounter problems regarding its battery..:)
that’s great. comeback and leave your comments about your experience with the phone
How can I delete downloaded games? pls help me.
Is your one touch glory running on android 3.2 ggingerbread?
Go to settings -> applications -> manage applications then choose the game you want to uninstall and hit uninstall.
hope this helps
The phone is great,my only problem is that i can’t download more apps.bcoz of small internal memory storage..is the internal memory expandable???thanks..
)
the android sdk can be used to change the install location of apps(not all but most of them).
i’m a 918n user, you can turn off shutter sound by rooting ur phone and using root explorer. this is the step on how to root- download unlockroot and download drivers of 918n in alcatel website. after rooting the phone install root explorer, then open root exp. open these folders system-media-ui, in ui folder locate camera_click.mp3, just rename or delete but just rename that. to edit it just press r/w.
Is this tried and tested?
i registered to globe’s unlisurf. my mobile netowrk setting is set to APN http.globe.com.ph. i still cant connect. you have any info how i can? tried numerous time but still cant. please help. is it because my phone is locked to SUN? this phone is dual SIM
Can you use globe’s network? Even if it’s dual sim are you sure you can use other network’s sim on your phone?
Dual sim phones can be a little bit tricky since you are using two different networks. The setting of SUN will definitely not work on Globe
you can call at the globe service center.. para mapadalan ka ng settings para gumana ang glole sim mo sa internet..
is this android phone prone to any viruses?tnx!!!
I think all android phones even samsung galaxy s iii or the iPhone are prone to viruses. It’s up to the user how will he take care his phone and how will be protect it.
how can i protect my phone? i’m a 918N user. i know there are free antivirus softwares for android. are those enough to protect my fone? thanks
There are lots of ways to protect your phone. What protection are you looking for? From virus? malware? anti theft? third party access?
Hello
how can I download more apps? it says error downloading and insufficient space on the device? but below it says that the storage allows an application to write to the sd card? thank you. I can’t download apps
Alcatel 918N is pretty much limited, like the Galaxy Y. I think you need to use Link2SD. I haven’t finished my draft yet for that. Is your 918N already rooted?

are you talking about the 918N model? or another alcatel model?
Yes, Sun representative told me this as a bonus feature. I just didn’t have my broadband sim with me so we weren’t able to test it.

Hi ivana
Did it happened recently or from the time you got your phone? Did you try to check the settings of your messages?
same as i
How to screenshot?
have you tried pressing the home button and power button at the same time?
I tried pressing them at the same time, but nothin happen. Need help here
It’s a little bit tricky and needs timing. But if nothing really happens after a lot of tries, perhaps your phone doesn’t support that command.
Try downloading an app instead.

hi,
nice site you got here. i was wondering what kind of media player would be suited for this alcatel model? videos i downloaded from youtube won’t play in my phone.
thanks
thanks for dropping by.
Are the videos in FLV format or MP4? You should try converting it to mp4 first so that you can play it on your phone. I just use the default player on my android phone.
If you don’t have a converer, try Format Factory, it’s a free all in one converter.
you cannot play .flv files because alcatel 918n is not compatible with flash players unless you convert it to mp4 or 3gp

Your internal memory is decreasing even if you did not install any apps? That won’t happen by itself. You might have installed or setup something that caused this. Are you recording or downloading something in the background? Please check, otherwise I suggest you do a factory reset (meaning ALL DATA will be WIPE OUT/DELETED). Perhaps this could fix your problem if you haven’t change any settings.
download cleaner or you can root your phone, or you can transfer you apps into your sd card by downloading link2sd.
I really love this phone . but the problem is , i cant play videos that i download . what am i gonna do ? please help me
)))
where did you download the videos? From your PC or on your phone? What format did you download? Perhaps the video you downloaded is in a different format that’s why you can’t play it. try converting it to MP4

hi! why should i upgrade my alcatel 918n? what are the features or benefits i can get if i upgraded it .. i have read the manual and guides on how to operate this phone then theirs a paragraph saying ” you can upgrade your phone. what can be the future cause if the upgrade fails ? please help
you can upgrade the OS of your phone and not really your phone. Upgrading to the latest version of android OS has many benefits. Think of it as upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7, similar to that. But I am not sure if Alcatel 918N is upgradable to ICS of Jelly Bean

Where you able to create a google account? You should create that, otherwise how where you able to download apps from google play without setting an account.
What android version are you on? I’ll publish an article about this one to answer your problem, there are many ways, but I’m not sure if it will work with an alcatel 918n.
well, i think that’s the prob.., just wondering why i am asked to sign-in…,i don’t even registered to an any google account either..,please let me know bout ds phone,my hubby bought it last yr, and i lost the manual..,i dunno what version am i using..,i do use ds phone randomly coz am not fun with dos touchscreen phones..,it caused delays,etc.. i called alcatel head office in Greenhills.,they said,it’s in the software,i just need to send d fon in them, and they’ll d one 2 fix it..,please do send thru my email any version u have,even if it cant help atleast we tried..thanks a lot!
Well, honestly if you are an Android user, it is recommended to have a Google account associated with your phone. This is for backup purposes and for problems like the one you are encountering now. Anyway, you can create a Google account on a desktop computer. A google account is the same as a gmail account, can also be used in google play store and youtube and other google services.
The last resort will be to reset your phone to factory settings but it will delete ALL the data in your phone. Good if you regularly backup your phone, bad if not (and you have important data on it). I’ll post the guide soon ellen.
creating google account will follow,just send those ways u have..tnx jeff,
my alcatel one touch 918n says insufficent storage when it tries updating apps or i download apps….and all the apps i have on my phone already are on my sd card cuz i moved them there…how do i do this or how could i just root my phone without having to pay for it
You can try using Link2SD, I have a guide here.
But this is not a total solution.

Perhaps you can find apps to change the ringtones
my alcatel one touch 995 camera not working it just say camera error
does anyone know how i can fix it or whats the problem ?
cannot connect to camera
ive tryed to reset it twice but still doesnt work
Did you root your phone or installed a rom or something? You might have to do a factory reset. Otherwise this might be a hardware problem.
i havnt root my phone
or installed a rom or anything
the camera hasnt been working over 2-3 months i have done a factory reset
already like twice
ask for warranty. if must be a defect on the hardware
Hi…just want to ask if my alcatel 1touch glory x 918n phone is capable of running…or should i say compatible with a 32gig sd??? I’ve been thinking of extending my sd card memory to make room for more mp3s…but most of the people that I ask are telling me that I need to check first if my phone is capable of handling a bigger memory sd card…so is this model capable? help… Thanks!
Hi marts!
I haven’t tried using this phone yet. But according to the official specs that Alcatel gave me, it supports microSD up to 32GB. Just an advice when buying a microSD, buy only original cards. Don’t buy fake or cheap ones. I use SanDisk Ultra 32 GB MicroSDHC Class 10 for my Note 2. Well, you don’t really need to buy a Class 10 microSD, but the speed helps when you transfer files from your computer to your card.
HELP! Im stupid. I was drowsy when I changed my phone pattern lock, now I cant open it. I’ve exceeded 15 times. I tried signing to google account but it just wont sign in. The wifi on my phone is off. What to do? :O
Can you not turn on the Wifi or 3G? Try resetting your phone, factory reset. Go to recovery menu.
I cant
Its totally locked and I cant do anything about it
Have you tried doing a factory reset? Via the recovery?
By the way, did you leave the USB Debugging mode enabled or not?
Omg. Please dont think that Im super stupid or something, I just dont remember if I turned the debugging mode on. How to factory reset via the recovery? I cant open it still. the farthest I can get to my phone is “Sign in to gmail account to unlock phone.” And whenever I sign in with my CORRECT password and address, it just wont work
Hi Chow! Sorry but you got me wrong there. I didn’t think that you are super stupid or something, I’m just asking because there is a way to unlock your phone without doing factory reset, just as long as the USB debugging is enabled. And I need to know where you are coming from. But since you are now sure about that, I guess you will have to do a factory reset.
But I warn you before hand, specially if this is your first time doing a factory reset or going to the recovery, I will not be held responsible for any damages that it may occur to your phone. I can’t see your phone so I don’t have a 100% idea of what is going on. You will be responsible for your actions. And doing a factory reset will DELETE ALL your files (including contacts) and apps.
To do factory reset:
1. Turn of your phone completely
2. Turn it on again by pressing Power Button + Volume Up + Home Button all together. Hold those button until a logo appears.
3. You should now boot in system recovery
4. choose “wipe data/factory reset” (use volume up and down button to navigate and home button as select button)
5. confirm your selection
After that just restart, and your should be able to login to your phone again.
Hope this will solve your problem.
jeff, i have the same problem with chow, i followed your instructions, i turned off my phone then turned it on again pressing power, volume up and home buttons together, There is no system recovery to select. What appears are these: Factory Mode , Auto Test, Item Test, Test Report, Clear Flash, Version, Product Information, Reboot. I tried to press the Reboot but nothing happened. Please help.
Have you tried factory mode?
I’m not familiar with Alcatel’s interface. Perhaps they have different menu. Just find the same command that is equivalent to a factory reset.
how to connect internet using mobie data
i cant coonect internet in mobile data…and its too slow…what can i do?
what network are you with? depending on your network, you have to configure the APN settings.
Thanks it did work but I’m wondering why the apps were not gone. Anyway, thanks a lot!
You really helped
that’s good, have you checked everything else? perhaps the apps there installed by default (bloatware) or you have to do a clear cache for them to be removed.
how to unlock PUK of my phone w/o google account? please help.
PUK? Are you referring to your SIM or the phone itself?
Hi jeff, I have problem with my alcatel 918N, this phone is under warranty under suncellular plan350, I already surrender it to suncellular service becaulse it fails to power on and last Monday I claim my phone already and told me that the problem is the software. After 1 day my phone still have the same problem.. I already reset the phone again by borrowing other battery from my friend. and now I cannot power on the phone again.. Appreciate your help, thanks
I don’t think the problem is with the software if there is a power failure. If another working battery didn’t work, I think the unit itself has a defect. You can’t turn it on again right? Then you can’t test or reinstall a ROM. Better return it to Suncellular and ask for a new unit.

I’m not sure how you can do this with alcatel OTG 918. But the home + power button works for most android phones. It’s just tricky to apply since the timing has to be right.
Hey. I cannot change my phone’s message notification tone :/ i’ve put mp3 typed sounds on my phone but whenever I try to change my message tone, the sounds I put in my phone can only be changed on call ringtone. What should I do?
Perhaps 918n does not natively support customized phone notification. Have you tried using a third party app or change the audio in the root directory?
why my alcatel glory x198n receiving continuous sms with the same messages? when i ask the person who send me a message, he said that he send the message once…please help me fix this…thank you..:(
I encountered this kind of error before, with Nokia phone. One possible reason is with your network, and not your phone.
Did you change any settings on your phone? Because if you didn’t then its probably the network.
