Alcatel open market 4s

When'd you acquire the X3?

 

[aj173]

I can but I use AT&T which might not make that much of a difference anyway. VVM should auto provision after you call your Voicemail for the first time.

Yeah, this whole thing makes no sense to me. My SIM worked fine under the open market. I tried your registry settings, which jibe very closely with my 1520 registry settings, and still nothing. I guess I'll order a new SIM so I can say I went through the process of elimination.

Ya it should work under a new sim. I did not realize you were using Cricket.

 

[RumoredNow]

I can't see how it would be the SIM...

I couldn't either. I was convinced it was my T-Mo branded (and unlocked) Idol 4S Windows. @Nate W walked me through some reg stuff all to no avail. My SMS/MMS was just borked. Probably a W10 thing, right? Especially since it came right after an update... Then I latched onto a Sony Xperia X running Android and put my old Cricket SIM in there. Same issues. Got a new SIM (no longer green and white, now just all white) and my issues went away.

YMMV, but a new SIM cannot hurt one tiny bit. Make sure they know you are having issues, reference the 2G shutdown and network changes (including VVM/voice mail) and make sure they give you the SIM for free to fix the issues THEY caused.

I'll probably pay the $10 for a new SIM just to avoid Cricket's customer service. The Cricket stores around here are third-world ghetto, and their phone support isn't much better. Customer service is one of the things you forego at this price point, and I accepted that fact going in

3 days ago. Movin' on up like George and Weezie.

Sent from my Elite x3 on mTalk

That's a shame. Around me the stores are uber helpful and they always give the SIM free.

I saw your other posts...cool deal.

I too went in on one for 325, since I ended up with two idol4s phones now. I sold a oneplus 3 and my 950 xl to cover one.

@DylanCochard
Are you thinking of preordering the Europe bound variant, or forget about it? I believe you're in that region or maybe I'm mistaken...

It went on preorder several days ago for that region in Germany. link

 

[Jonathanmr7]

hope with this(europe phone) we get more support for fix those errors...

@Nate W

Yep, I'am from France. Here, Idol Pro isn't again available in pre-order, but I think it should be the case soon. Not Idol Pro for me, I thinking to order a Samsung Galaxy S8 ^^

Maybe a WDRT update soon to display/support Idol Pro.

But the price (599€, $672)! How many do you think will sell? They cost 40% of that in the US, and have for awhile, and it doesn't appear that they're flying off the shelves.

Apparently Alcatel took marketing classes from Microsoft. They killed what could have been a decent selling phone for them.

Is that normal pricing for Germany?

Maybe. I'm definitely not flashing anything anytime soon...

checked yesterday and the open market ffu has still not been fixed, still have same errors and issues.

 

[mobilemeneer]

I have the exact same problem here. The open market firmware is much newer and i can't get rid of the T-Mobile firmware. Can we modify something ourself to get this flashing done?

Not that we know of at this time.

 

[Iain_S]

we have been working trying to work around the system checks when flashing but nothing has worked as of yet, I think the only way this will get resolved if alcatel get off their arses and fix the broken ffu on wdrt, which they have known about for quite some time now.

@Iain_S @DylanCochard
Anything new from their Twitter accounts and communication directly to you about a time frame or anything new? Or did they leave it with just wait for the update?
