I have update too to kitkat few weeks back, and now I can tell you it's worth the update... Battery power improves for about 20%, it's overall smoother expirience, improved camera and music apps, sound is better, apps multitask better. Overall it's now much better phone :)
I3estie, 22 Apr 2015can you share a link and tell if you have upadated? Yes i have it and for now i just see cosmetical changes. Battery life is the same as early. But i need to do more tests so that i can tell you more about it. The best way for you is to put the update on your device. Just type "alcatel idol 2 proshivka" in your browser. Also you need to be registred user to download right files. Find it on page 94. Regards

does it support hdmi output (mhl)? alcatel idol 6030 does, so I think this phone also should support that. thank you
I have a problem with my Alcatel Idol 2S. It's restarting itself and it's loosing battery for ex. at the moment I have 78% battery and my phone is restarting itself and when I turn it on I have left 30% or 0% battery , and sometimes won't turn on without the charger. After I'm putting it on charger it's constantly restarting itself for about 1 minute and then it's turning on. I've contacted my local service and they've told me that is about the software. They've made it a fabric reset and it's still happening. What can I do next? Pls help .
my advice to all the idol 2 users : stop waiting for the kitkat ! it wont come out . even if it does it wont make a great difference . you can easily root ur device using kingo root app and modify what you want by the countless apps available in google play . the phone is pretty lag-less .
