Alcatel is back this year with its all new Alcatel One Touch Glory 918N. It is a budget friendly and entry level android smartphone that was previously known as Alcatel Blaze Glory 918N. The One Touch Glory 918N is a dual SIM handset that runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS, sports a 3 megapixel camera and is powered by a 650Mhz processor. The Glory 918N has an SRP of only Php 5,699.

According to it’s press release:

One of these two phones is the ALCATEL ONE TOUCH GLORY 918N, first known as the Blaze Glory 918N. With this phone, mobile users can have almost all the features that they want in one dual sim android phone. “Now owning a high-quality Android Smartphone does not have to be expensive anymore with ALCATEL ONE TOUCH GLORY 918N.” – Darren Sy, distributor of ALCATEL ONE TOUCH phones in the Philippines.

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.”

“My favorite part is the predictive text. I have big fingers that I miss the letters on the screen. The TouchPal Curve allows me to choose the right words.”

      Just restart your Alcatel Glory phone and wait for 10 to 15 minutes before using the phone. Usually works this way.

        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?

    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.

          jeff

          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.

    1. jeff Avatar
      jeff

      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.

    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.

          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.

      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.

      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.

          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, 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.

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.

            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.

      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.

    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 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.

      Do a factory reset of your phone. But this will delete all you data and apps that is in your phone.
      Do to a factory reset simply go to recovery menu by:
      1. turning off your phone
      2. Press power button + home button + volume up button (hold altogether it until a logo appears)
      3. Once your in the recovery mode, navigate or locate restore factory setting or restore default settings, or wipe user data (I’m not sure how will it look like with Alcatel)
      4. Just proceed with the reset and you can use your phone again.
      BUT be warned, this will delete everything in your phone, except the data on the external SD card. Proceed with caution and at your own risk.
      Hope this helps! Good luck!

      Where you able to connect properly before, or this is the first time you connected the phone to that WiFi network?
      I’m not really sure what’s the problem. It might be your router or the network sharing the connectivity, or it might be with your phone. Anyway, try to connect to a different WiFi network and see how it goes. I have encountered this problem before, I can connect my Galaxy Y with my WiFi network here at home, but I can not connect it to the free WiFi network at Ayala Abreeza Mall. I also get the same optaining IP address and disconnects. But when I connect to starbuck’s WiFi network, it went through without any problems.
