Go to http://www.att.com/devicehowto/?make=alcatel&model=871a#fbid=YcaBkk8Zuvw Scroll down and select Calls. Then, select activating speakerphone video when a call comes in. You just press the right soft key to turn the speakerphone ON when you answer an incoming call.

Hi Michelle. During a call, check the screen of your phone if there's an option for speakerphone. If nothing like that comes up, press the left soft key for Options. See if the option for speakerphone is there. Let me know if you're able to do it. Good luck!

Hi rlca_mom. I suggest calling your manufacturer and/or carrier about this issue. I read somewhere that there's an update to fix this issue. Also, I suggest that you use a lanyard or put your phone in a bag for the mean time to avoid automatic dialing.

There's a little white cloud with what looks to be a little red exclamation point on it at the top of the main screen. What does it mean and how do I remove it ??

You can contact Alcatel if you want to get an original battery. But if you're fine with OEMs, you can purchase the battery from eBay (link).

I'm sorry, but did you mean you can only hear the person that calls you when in speaker phone? If yes, I'm afraid your phone has damage. I suggest taking it to the store where you bought it or to a cellphone repair shop and have it checked.
