I bought it in December 2015. Today - January 2019 .. my faithful friend, has been working to this day. Like New! What I need a lot, then I take a picture. The battery is charged for the whole day. I don’t go online from it. Calls are loud, vibration is vibrated, speakers are working, audibility is wonderful. What else? Never mind. This is my faithful, reliable friend. I want to buy something new, but in my heart it’s a pity to betray him.

stupid in comparison with its 3.5`` "younger brother" PIXI 2 4014D, perhaps just because of big screen+ the battery sits down faster During a call to the subscriber, the vibration does not work when answering. The same is observed in 4014D and also in 4009d and also in 4015d. the matter is in the firmware from the manufacturer.

Sometimes it overheats, the phone is definitely not for professional photos (the price is clear), when the video quality is set to 480 it starts to lag, I also want to note that the RAM for games is too small, so lags and brakes are pursued

I reset it to factory settings two times. Both times after that, the GPS was turned on only after a tangible throw of the phone against the wall. But then there were no problems with GPS. Apparently, until the next reset

just awfully stupid and laggy phone. It feels like it does not run on a battery, but on brake fluid.

Awful camera, both frontal and main. Memory problems, do not understand what this phone wants, a 4 GB memory card. It is installed in the settings to immediately move all applications to the memory card, but it does not move them. It's so dumb, it's impossible to go to Google normally, or watch a video on YouTube. The battery runs out quickly, right before our eyes. The wire in the kit began not to work literally after 1 month, I had to use another one. During a conversation on the phone, the conversation itself is very audible.

Slows down, creaks back cover sometimes ignores touches; if you watch the video on it, then the pixels will be visible

Very slow, after switching on, it loads a minute and a half, then the touchscreen slows down for the first time. The touchscreen itself is generally very rough, reacts poorly to touch, very often, instead of the desired button, neighboring buttons are pressed. Because of this, you try to use more voice input but it works more or less decently only with 3G connection. And sometimes you have to repeat it 5 times. With memory, in general, some kind of trouble is not clear why a memory card is needed if installed applications are not transferred there. I have a situation when, in order to install a new application, I have to erase the old one. In general, the phone is only suitable as a simple dialer.
Android smartphone Alcatel One Touch Pixi 3 (4.5) 4027D - device entry level, which has gained popularity among undemanding users. If there are practically no problems with the hardware of the device during its operation, then the system software quite often causes complaints from the owners of the model. However, these shortcomings can be easily eliminated with the help of firmware. Several ways to reinstall Android in the device are discussed below.
Alcatel One Touch Pixi 3 (4.5) 4027D, if we talk about the procedures for installing system software, is quite an ordinary smartphone. The Mediatek hardware platform, on the basis of which the device is built, assumes the use of standard software tools and methods for installing system software into the device.
Despite the fact that it is almost impossible to damage the hardware of the device using the firmware methods described below, you should take into account:
Each manipulation of the owner with his device is carried out by him at his own peril and risk. Responsibility for any problems with the smartphone, including those caused by using the instructions from this material, lies entirely with the user!
Before proceeding to overwrite the memory of the Alcatel 4027D to equip the device with new software, you should in some way prepare the device and the PC intended for use as a tool for manipulating the device. This will allow you to reinstall Android quickly and hassle-free, protect the user from data loss, and the smartphone from loss of performance.
Drivers
The first thing to worry about before operating your Pixi 3 through flasher software is pairing your phone and computer properly. This will require the installation of drivers.
In the case of Alcatel smartphones, to install the components necessary for pairing the device and the PC, it is advisable to use a proprietary software for servicing Android devices of the brand - SmartSuite.
This software will be needed in the next preparatory step, so we download the application installer from the official website. In the list of models you need to select Pixi 3 (4.5).
If during the installation of the drivers any errors occur or the smartphone is not detected properly, you should use the instructions from the article at the link below.
Data backup
Of course, a complete reinstallation of the operating system of any Android device comes with certain risks. In particular, with almost 100% probability, all contained user data will be deleted from the device. In this regard, before installing the system software in the Alcatel Pixi 3, you should take care of creating backup information that is valuable to the owner. The above-described Smart Suite allows you to save information from your phone very easily.
If you plan to install modified versions of Android, it is recommended to create a complete dump of the installed software in addition to saving user data. The process of creating such a backup is described in the article at the link below.
Recovery launch
With Alcatel 4027D firmware, there is often a need to boot a smartphone in recovery. Both the factory and modified recovery environments run the same way. To reboot into the appropriate mode, turn off the device completely, press the key "Increase the volume" and holding it down the button "Turning on".
Keep the keys pressed until the menu items of the recovery environment appear.
Firmware
Depending on the state of the phone and the goals set, that is, the version of the system that should be installed as a result of the operation, the tool and method of carrying out the firmware process are selected. Below are the ways to install different versions of Android in Alcatel Pixi 3 (4.5), arranged in order from easy to complex.
Method 1: Mobile Upgrade S
To install and update official version systems from Alcatel, the manufacturer has created a special flasher utility for the model under consideration. To download the solution follow the link below by selecting the item "Pixi 3 (4.5)" from the drop-down list of models.
- Open the resulting file and install Mobile Upgrade S following the instructions in the installer.
- We launch the flasher. After choosing the language, the Wizard will start, which allows you to carry out the procedure step by step.
- At the first step of the wizard, select "4027" in the drop-down list "Select your device model" and press the button "Start".
- Fully charge Alcatel Pixi 3, disconnect the smartphone from USB port, if this has not been done before, and then turn off the device completely. Push "Further" in the Mobile Upgrade S.
- We confirm the readiness for the memory overwrite procedure in the appeared request window.
- We connect the device to the USB port of the PC and wait for the phone to be detected by the utility.
The fact that the model has been identified correctly will be indicated by the appearing inscription: "Search latest updates Software on the server. Wait…".
- The next step is to download the system software package from the Alcatel servers. We are waiting for the completion of the progress bar in the flasher window.
- When the download is complete, follow the instructions of the utility - disconnect the USB cable from the Pixi 3, and then click "OK" in the request window.
- In the next window, press the button "Update device software",
and then we connect the USB cable to the smartphone.
- After the system detects the phone, the recording of information to the memory sections will start automatically. This is indicated by the filling progress bar.
The process should never be interrupted!
- Upon completion of the installation of the system software via Mobile Upgrade S, a notification about the success of the operation will be displayed and a prompt to extract and insert battery device before launching.
We do this, and then turn on the Pixi 3 with a long key press. "Turning on".
- After downloading to the reinstalled Android, we get the smartphone in the out-of-the-box state,
anyway, in programmatic plan.
Method 2: SP FlashTool
In the event that a system crash occurs, that is, Alcatel 4027D does not boot into Android and / or it is not possible to restore / reinstall the firmware using the official utility, you should use practically universal solution to work with the memory of MTK devices - the SP FlashTool application.
Among other things, the tool and knowledge of how to work with it will be needed in case of returning to the official version of the system after a modified firmware, so familiarize yourself with detailed description methods of using the tool will not be superfluous to every owner of the smartphone in question.
The example below restores the "ripped" Pixi 3 and installs the official version of the system. Download the firmware package from the link below. The archive also contains a version of SP FlashTool suitable for manipulating the device in question.
- We unpack the archive obtained from the link above into a separate folder.
- Launch the flasher by opening the file flash_tool.exe located in the program directory.
- Add a scatter file to the flasher MT6572_Android_scatter_emmc.txt, which is located in the folder with the system software images.
- Choosing an operating mode "Fortmat All + Download" from the dropdown list,
then click "Download".
- We remove the battery from the smartphone and connect the phone with a USB cable to the PC.
- After the device is identified in the system, files will be transferred to its memory and the corresponding progress bar will be filled in the SP FlashTool window.
- Upon completion of the restoration, a confirmation appears - a window "Download OK".
- Disconnect the Alcatel 4027D from the PC, install the battery and start the device by long pressing the key "Turning on".
- After a long launch, the first after the installation of the system, you need to determine the parameters of Android,
and then you can use the restored device with the official firmware version.
Method 3: Modified recovery
The above methods Pixi firmware 3 (4.5) presuppose the installation of the official version of the 01001 system. Updates for the OS from the manufacturer are not expected, but it is really possible to transform the model in question in software terms only using custom firmware.
Despite the presence of many different solutions of modified Android for Alcatel 4027D, it is not recommended to use firmware based on system version higher than 5.1. Firstly, the small amount of RAM of the device does not allow you to comfortably use Android 6.0, and secondly, in such solutions, various components often do not work, in particular, the camera, audio playback, etc.
As an example, we will install a custom CyanogenMod 12.1 into Alcatel Pixi3. This is a firmware based on Android 5.1, practically devoid of flaws and specially prepared for work on the device in question.
- An archive containing everything you need to Android installations 5.1 can be downloaded from the link below. Download and unpack the package into a separate directory on the PC disk.
- Place the resulting folder on the MicroSD card installed in the smartphone.
Obtaining Superuser rights
The first thing that will be needed to replace the software of the model in question is to obtain root rights. Superuser rights for Alcatel One Touch Pixi 3 (4.5) 4027D can be obtained using KingROOT. The process is described in detail in the tutorial at the link below:
Installing TWRP
Installation of custom firmware into the smartphone in question is carried out using a functional tool - a modified TeamWin Recovery (TWRP) recovery environment.
But before this becomes possible, the recovery must appear in the device. To equip Alcatel 4027D with the required component, we do the following.
All further manipulations on the smartphone's firmware will be carried out through TWRP. If you are not experienced in the environment, it is highly recommended that you familiarize yourself with the following material:
Memory re-layout
Almost all custom firmwares for the model in question are installed on re-allocated memory.
To carry out the operation, you should follow the steps listed below, and as a result, we get the following:
- Decreasing section "CUSTPACK" up to 10MB and a modified image of this memory area is recorded;
- Expands up to 1 GB area volume "SYSTEM", which is possible due to the use of memory, which is freed as a result of decreasing "CUSTPACK";
- Expands to 2.2 GB partition "USERDATA", also due to the volume released after compression "CUSTPACK".
Installing CyanogenMod
In the same way, any other custom solution is installed, only at step 1 of the instructions above another package is selected.
Additionally. Google services
Installed according to the instructions above modified Android version contains Google applications and services. But these components are not included in their solutions by all of their creators. If the use of these components is a necessity, and after reinstalling the system software they are missing, you should install them separately using the instructions from the lesson:
Thus, the update and restoration of a generally successful model from the well-known manufacturer of Android smartphones Alcatel is carried out. Do not forget about the importance of the exact execution of each step of the instructions and a positive result is guaranteed!

Positioning
Segment inexpensive smartphones every year it becomes more noticeable, but if not long ago it seemed impossible to buy an official device with Android on board for less than 3,000-4,000 rubles, then after the Megafon Login model appeared on the market, the situation has changed dramatically. The company brought to Russia the most simple device for Android base, invested serious money in advertising and sold the smartphone at cost price, earning money on the sale of contracts that go into the "load" to the device. Following MegaFon, two other Big Three operators - Beeline and MTS - presented similar models under their own brands.
Today there are already a lot of smartphones in the category up to 3,000 rubles on the market, and although these are mostly similar offers from different brands, there is plenty to choose from. V this review I want to tell you about the Alcatel One Touch Pixi 4007D smartphone, its retail price is about 2,000 rubles, but in the Svyaznoy chain of stores this model is sold for a special offer for 990 rubles, so that in the end we get a very interesting offer even against the background of the updated Megafon Login 2.
The promotion is called "It's hard to imagine such a price" and is held from May 1 to June 30. At the time of buying Alcatel smartphone One Touch Pixi 4007D in Svyaznoy stores you can take with it a SIM-card from MTS with tariff plan"Super MTS" for 100 rubles (then it is converted into the "Smart" tariff) and deposited into the account of 900 rubles. If this condition is met, the cost of the smartphone will be not 1,990 rubles, but 990. Accordingly, you will need to spend the same 1,990 rubles, but 950 of them will end up on your account, on a new SIM card with the “Smart” tariff plan. This option is interesting for those who need the most inexpensive Android device and also need a new SIM card for mobile internet, For example. Now about the device itself.
Design, body materials
The device is available in three colors - black, white and dark blue. In all versions, the front side and part of the plastic around the perimeter are painted black, the only difference is in the color of the battery cover. In the photo you see a smartphone in white. The plastic around the perimeter is matte, on the front side there is an insert made of glossy plastic. The battery cover is also glossy.
Pixi 4007D looks simple and without pretensions, at the same time, there is nothing to complain about here - no decorative things, unnecessary elements and inserts. Versatile design with no pretense.
Assembly, body wear
The build quality is high - the removable cover fits very tightly to the surface of the case, there are no large gaps and gaps between the structural elements, which is even surprising for a smartphone for such a price. There are only two complaints - glossy plastic quickly gets dirty and "collects" fingerprints and dust, and is also covered with the smallest scratches. So if the smartphone will be used as an access point and worn somewhere in the depths of a backpack or bag, you should be prepared for the rapid wear of the case.
Dimensions (edit)
The smartphone is small, fits perfectly in the hand, you can hold and operate the device with one hand. Dimensions: 115 x 62.3 x 12.2 mm, weight - 118 grams.
Compared to Meizu MX3
Compared to Htc one mini
Compared to Nokia 107 Dual SIM
Control elements
On the front panel, under the screen, there are three touch keys - "Back", "Home" and "Menu". The buttons are not backlit, the touch area does not always accurately process pressing, you need to press each of the keys with force and to the markup point, otherwise the press may not be processed.
The volume rocker is located on the left edge, the power button and a 3.5 mm mini-jack are on the top. The opening of the spoken microphone is located under the block of touch keys on the front panel.
Each time you touch the touch key, the device vibrates, vibration can be turned off in the smartphone settings.
Above the screen there is an earpiece, a light indicator and a sensor for automatic adjustment of the screen backlight level.
Slots for two SIM cards (miniSIM) and a memory card (microSD) are located under the battery.
The smartphone reads memory cards up to 32 GB, in addition, the device is preinstalled file manager, so you can work with the contents of the card right away by taking the device out of the box and turning it on.
Screen
The Alcatel Pixi 4007D is equipped with a 3.5 ”TFT capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 320x480 pixels (HVGA). The display shows up to 262K colors, has a good margin of brightness with an automatic backlight adjustment function and mediocre viewing angles.
The protective surface above the screen is a layer of transparent plastic.
Camera
The smartphone has a camera with VGA resolution (0.3 MP), so there is no point in talking about the quality of the images or settings. The camera won't do anything, it's just here for show.
In the camera settings, you can set the image resolution to 2 MP, in this case, the increase in size is carried out by interpolating the images, it looks like this:
| VGA | 2 megapixels |

Autonomous work
The capacity of the removable battery in the smartphone is 1300 mAh. The manufacturer claims the operating time in 2G mode - up to 500 hours in standby mode and up to 13 hours in talk mode, in 3G - up to 300 hours in standby mode and up to 7 hours in talk mode.
In reality, a smartphone with two valid SIM cards works without problems in standby mode for more than a week. If you use it occasionally for calls (a couple of times a day, as a second phone), the operating time is also calculated in days, on average it is 3-5 days, depending on the activity.
Performance
The smartphone is built on the MTK 6575 platform with a 1 GHz single-core processor, equipped with 256 MB random access memory and about 100 MB of memory for storing user data. This volume is barely enough to install a couple of programs and toys, so if you plan to use your smartphone not only as a portable access point, you need to immediately buy a memory card for it.
The speed of the smartphone is far from good, especially when compared to top-end devices. But you can look at it from the other side. For a phone for 1,000 rubles, the performance is more than adequate - there are no serious lags or delays when working with the interface, and pauses in launching programs for such a weak filling are quite natural, but they can be survived.
Interfaces
The smartphone works in GSM (850/900/1800/1900) and UMTS (900/2100) networks. Both high-speed data transfer standards are supported - EDGE and HSDPA. The first SIM card slot is intended for use as calls and for 2G / 3G mobile Internet, the SIM card in the second works only in the 2G range. For synchronization with a PC and data transfer, a complete microUSB cable is used. USB interface 2.0.
Built-in module Bluetooth 4.0 (A2DP)... Most common profiles are supported.
Wi-Fi (802.11b / g / n)... In my sample, the Wi-Fi module worked flawlessly.
Wi-Fi router ... The smartphone implements the function of "sharing" 2G / 3G Internet connections via Wi-Fi. In settings wireless networks the option "Modem mode" is selected, then "Wi-Fi router". In the settings, you can select the network name, password, and the type of connection (open, WPA2).
Implementation of the work of two SIM-cards
There is one radio module in the device, respectively, if you are talking using one SIM card, the other is unavailable at that moment and when you call it, the person will hear the phrase “the subscriber is not available”. In the settings, you can assign a color to each of the "sims" and change the name. When you call or send a message, a pop-up menu appears with a proposal to select a SIM card with which the action will be performed. In the settings, you can also disable the appearance of this window and just select the "default" SIM card.
Navigation
GPS support in the smartphone is not, there is only the determination of coordinates by additional means (A-GPS). To work with maps like Google maps or Yandex Maps is quite enough accuracy provided by A-GPS, but full-fledged navigation software on a smartphone will not work.
