I have had an Alcatel A564C for a little over a month now. Just one of those $150 phones on an inexpensive pay as you go plan. The service is great, for the record... but the phone... just running into a few issues:
1) Not a huge deal, but really annoying. Using the stock text messaging app, the text keeps becoming WAY too large. I've googled this, and all I can see is people saying to use the volume button to change that, but it doesn't work on this phone. The only way I've been able to fix this is by removing the battery for 5 - 30 minutes, but this doesn't always fix it, and even when it does, after a while, it becomes large again. What gives?
2) An extension of the above... I started trying out other texting apps (Hangouts, and Handcent), and I do like them, however, I'm unable to send pics.
3) The phone can be really really slow at times, especially after powering up. Clearing the cache sometimes helps, but not always...
Any help??
