      I've had this phone for 2 months now and i think it's a great phone but i have one issue. When i close apps the UI starts lagging a lot for 2-3 seconds. Is this common or it's only with me? And how can i fix this?

            Greetings all! I'm a little noob when it comes to smartphones so i have to ask.I'm planning to buy Alcatel One Touch Idol 2 S next month and i'm wondering is this phone any good? I'm not looking for a high end phone,but i want it to run smoothly without major and constant stucking.And since Alcatel aren't that famous when it comes to smartphones i couldn't find a lot of reviews.One guy said that the speaker is a catastrophe and that music sound like crap.Is that true? Btw i don't have much money,this phone is currently availible in my country,do you think it's worth it? Thanks a lot,any help is appreciated!

                  When I unlock the screen it always starts up with camera. I tried to find out if there is any short key that maybe is active but I didn't find anything. Does anyone else have this problem?

                          Not a bad phone. There are many little things that I can't stand about it. Also, every write up containing specs for this phone lists NFC. My phone does not have NFC. Probably going to exchange it for a new phone.

                              I got white version from Orange Polska. Very nice looking and fluent operating. I like "double-click screen" to wake-up gesture :)

                              Some issues are FM radio is Mono, TV Link (perhaps Miracast?) instead of MHL, does not support OTG.

                              Unfortunately mine has "Simlock". Also I am not able to find a root method at this moment. Can anyone help?

                                This Phone have a huge problem with the main camera. The flash is to close to the camera, so when I took a picture in the dark I only saw reflections of the light of the flash.I return my phone to the store.
                                Beside that its a nice smartphone.

                                      Is that suppose to be a joke? This phone is no way shape or form better than the motorola phone you just mention.

                                        Better than Moto G + LTE should you ever order it.
