Well.... it doesn't bother me, but I'm used to all my phones having that issue, heck even with my Blackberry 8330m back in 2007, I had that issue. It doesn't bother me just because I rarely look at it at those angles.
I bought my "Alky" Win 10 for a few reasons: As a way to get out of my T-Mobile JUMP program; tired of my iPhone 6s Plus and I was in drawn to Windows mobile in general. I am glad I made the move. The Alcatel screen shows finger prints more than my unlocked Lumia 640 and the
Lumia photos in my opinion seem better. I do like the the band 12 on the Alky though. It connects where my L640 does not. Alcatel will get my attention again if they can deliver a better camera. I did email them and tell them about the camera not delivering clear shots.
The screen is nice to look at making browsing a treat and the screen size is nice. It's mostly a good phone for the money.
Updated regarding finger prints: Today I took my phone to multiple venues. outdoors (California overcast/threatening rain/ beach. Then to an indoor mall and back home. I don't care to mention finger prints now because I quit noticing. Band 12 really shines in the T-Mobile weak/no signal black holes. The Win 10 OS runs quick on this one
So the camera in Redstone build 14332 works a lot better like really good pics.
Buying one for the moment for a friend...ive heard That Redstone really slows this phone down.
If your still dealing with the same issue after a factory reset and an original rom flash, then I would say your dealing with a hardware problem and that the warranty return is your best option. I have the same phone and have been using it with all the insider builds since they started, I have never had that or really any other hardware related problems. Just the typical and ever present build bugs, but since the last .67 update, almost if not all of those have gone away as well. I just wish Alcatel and TMO would release the Idol 4, been waiting for that for to long.
I have an Alcatel One Touch Fierce XL phone, carrier MetroPCS. I have two (2) problems: the sound recorder will start recording without my prompting it to do so. I can stop the recording, discard and close the app and within minutes it will randomly start recording again. This happens several times a day. Not at night while the phone is charging.
Second problem, when I text message more than two people or send a picture in a text to just one person, I get an error message (!time/a gray text box and a circle with ! in the middle). I was told it has something to do with my data plan, but I don't know. I can text one at a time if I have to but the sound recorder is something I wish I could get rid of.
