Hey! 'Trying to help you out...I have the same problem use 3 fingers to scroll it down 2 from one hand and one finger from the other first with your phone on click your right side tag or icon it will show you setting at the bottom.. slide your 2 fingers like in a way you're closing or bringing them together and once you have screen grab scroll it down using your other hand's finger look for Accessibility remember to tag twice when talk-back is on This help me a lot to solve my problem and i'm sure it will help you to solve yours too.

My girlfriend seems to have accidentally turned on the talk-back feature on her phone. She says it is even talking while she's trying to talk on the phone. It won't even allow her to turn the phone off. She has to take the battery out to get it turned off. I told her about the double tap/two finger drag methods you've already mentioned but she said she already knows about that and it's not working. All the cell stores are closed for the holiday weekend and she's getting really frustrated. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Well people I had the same problem with the talk back feature on my alcatel one touch fierce. . Unfortunately I had to reset my freaking phone. .. back up ur pics and contacts I could never scroll down and had to do a reset. I turned off the phone took out Sim and waited for 3 minutes or so I then put the Sim card back in powered it on and held down the power button and volume up botton. . Which took me too a menu to reboot the phone. Good luck hope that helps

the most irritating fone.. bloddy french.. the talkback app is the most f** irritating feature! thank god for ggoogle and this link. your absolutely right: TWO FINGERS will alllow the swipe feature to work.. from there i went to settings and deactivated AT LAST the talk back feature.. later i am going to get rid of that stupid app. , )))

I had this same problem with my husbands phone I went to settings nd clicked on battery and then clicked on talk back and then clicked force stop nd a message came up I clicked on ok and his phone started back working with no problem nd all his apps and info was still working hopes this helps you

Go in to settings and slide to the right with you two fingers. You may have to do this a few time to see accessibility. Next double tap on talk back. Finley jut tap the on of switch in the top right corner of the screen. You phone should be fixed.

I accidently turned this on and nearly broke my phone because I was so extremely frustrated. I do not know why this would ever be invented it is a frustrating piece of crap. I finally managed to scroll using two fingers after a half an hour of cursing and trying to figure it out.

Relax..just dont panic..the trick which is tapping the screen with two fingers did worked with my alcatel phone. pinilit kong mkapasok sa settings,accessibility by tapping it with two fingers and it was a success,Though it took time, but at least there's no need to reformat or reboot. Sayang naman pag nagkaganun.

Keep calm and scroll down using two fingers cause one won,t work, I know u can see only storage but keep calm u will get there.I had the same problem on my phone and I fixed it.thankx all the best

just keep using your two thumbs very slowly to scroll at the same time and it will get to Accessibility to disable talk back. I hate this phone cant wait to get my new one monday.

Wen I turn my phone on and it boots up it ask me to put my password in but instead of typing a password its asking me to speak.

WROKING BUT WANT TALK

Thank you guys.

I have a consumer cellular cell phone put phone, flip phone that is. the mtk GPS and the GS p Ben. Dadmy phone is acting up right now so forgive the misspelling Etc.I'm talking about the GPS DSP. Ben alas Brian delete.sorry sorry the phone isn't printing correctly but you get my drift. these two items come on my phone when I talk to certain people also. I've been dealing with this a very long time and with research and experience I know it is not for anything good.computers are great for some things a lot of things in matter. however computers are extremely invasive and dangerous. I'm not a paranoid freak but deal with reality that we really don't want to know about.this is just for you your information to know that these two guys put together aren't forget his intentions. aren't for good intentions. good luck and God bless. there's not anything you can do about it.

well isn't this different! I am glad I came here. I have the same version phone, tracfone mind you (lol at the coincidence-TRACK) . The other day just one was on, now both. Have deleted them. I have an older tracfone that I attempted to 'pair'..... Maybe this is 1 reason? I cringe at the conspiracy theory but, if it quacks like a duck.... (BTW I have no clue about pairing, wanted to see if I COULD is all)

I have a friend if the family who has the same issue... I'm beginning to think its the government and or a local law enforcement, or a nosy college student.... Its bogus and a definite invasion of privacy. But. It _ by it i mean all of your private information including text measages , contacts and pictures. ... is on the airwaves so.. Is that fair game? A loophole? Most wireless companies have no copyright and IS THAT IS NOT illegal...???

I've noticed it on mine for several months... I delete them... but then they are back on there , usually after having a phone conversation with a specific person , though not always.. such as today, I left my house for a bit....made nor received any calls or texts...and it was in my phone today... Yay

I don't have an answer, but only wanted to say....I have a Consumer Cellular phone and it also has one in it. From research I've done, I've concluded that it has something to do with video. I think I will delete mine too.

I found this on my Alcatel phone too, and I get my service through Trackphone. I recently got convicted for DUI and I'm wondering if the PD hacked my phone and put this on it so that they can track my movements.

Hi Carl- I thought so too but you validated it for me. I have access to Google Maps but I've never used anything that requires a GPS which is why I'm wondering if someone attempted to load spyware...?

I'm sorry, but are you sure you are using Alcatel A392G? 'Cause I believe the phone doesn't have Maps. Anyway, I think it's a file that came with Google Maps.

To be perfectly honest with you, I find it odd to be there. Maybe you should ask the store where you bought it about that.

My brand new A392G from Tracfone came with these same files on it. Have no idea what they are for.

That's odd. Those files are for GPS and Alcatel A392G doesn't have GPS feature.

Hello all,please anyone has an idea on how to remove ''guest mode'' very annoying on an Alcatel onetouch pop 7s? my new tablet stucks on that mode and request me a security password that I never dial previously is there any default security pass existing for such device?Thanks in advance for your kindness.

My daughter has a Alcatel one touch tablet thAt is stuck on guest mode, and a password is required that neither of us put. How do I remove it. Also when I tap owner it says that that information is not available. Please help.

Simply restart your phone. If it goes back to safe mode, I suggest uninstalling the last app you installed, it may be having issue or making problems on your phone that's why you're on safe mode.

I have the same problem as in the first comment. I can't uninstall applications in guest mode. Any more tips please?

good day can you please help by removing safe mode on my phone Alcate one touch

Hi Ana, pictures that get sent through text usually get saved to the Gallery automatically, although the same can't be said of pictures sent through Facebook.In any case, the next time that you are viewing received pictures, either press the menu button (located to the right of the Home button) or do a long press on the screen (right on top of the picture itself) until you see a bunch of options pop up. Look for the option that says Save picture or something similar and select it to save a picture. Try this and let us know what happens!

In the message hold the picture and click the save (looks like a box) and then click it again the box it will save it to a downloaded folder in pictures gallanry

I tried to save pictures from facebook to my ALCATEL pixi 2 phone but evry time l press save it always shows error save picture.

Hi.. Can someone pls help me on how to save/download a picture nd video from facebook using alcatel one touch pop c7

new Alcatel Raven so complicated to use - sometimes on a conversation and want to hang up but the red end call is not there (sometimes it is) how to end call if there is no end call to tap?

This might seem strange but this is the answer: When answering a call, one needs touch and swoop finger upward, then one will find that the call is answered.

Got my alcatel one touch phone two weeks ago and my phone won't Let me answer calls its annoying and im getting really Impatient can anyone tell me whats wrong

Hi Josephine. Make sure you have good reception in your place so you can receive calls. If you're sure that reception is not the problem, you should have your phone checked for possible issues.

My calls are ending when I try to answer or try to make a call. What can be making this happen?

Got my alcatel one touch phone two weeks ago and my phone won't Let me answer calls its annoying and im getting really Impatient can anyone tell me whats wrong

I USE ALCATEL TOUCH ONE 1050G ,if somebody call me is going in voixmail

Try put original phone sim card and factory reset..maybe work...make sure the sim card is still working...

My phone will hang up as soon as it connects

I can make calls but can't receive calls on my Alcatel one touch 990 why

Hi Karen, do you have a copy of the user manual? On page 37 of the Alcatel A392G user manual, there is a section titled Setting the Date and Time. Here's what it says: Allows you to set the date and time in 12H or 24H format. You can also set the daylight saving adjustment. From the main menu, select Settings > Phone settings > Date and time. Follow the above instructions and see if you can make it work. Hope this helps! You can find out more about this phone by visiting our Alcatel A392G page on the web site.

I tried following the directions given: settings, phone settings, date and time. it shows the time format in a box 12 or 24...I selected 12. Below it has the input for the date...tried to input a date and nothing changes in that box. There does not seem to be anyway to select the actual time. Very unfriendly phone!

Pop the battery and replace it after a few seconds. Restart the phone and it will pick up the new time. I just did it because mine didn't change to DST automatically. It worked!!

I did not need to remove the battery. I just turned the phone off. When I turned it back on, it automatically adjusted for daylight savings time.

My ALCATEL phone did not correct its time for the Spring leap forward. Like Tim above, I can NOT change the actual time setting at the 'Time and Date' menu.

taking out the battery and replacing it after a few seconds worked for me , just as B Z Dick suggested.

Please notify me when somebody can answer this. How to set the date and time on the A392g tracfone...

Just turn the power off, then back on and the time will update automatically.

HELLO DAVID, YOUR ANSWER DOES NOT WORK. DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER IDEAS?

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!

well, I had similar problem. Go to recent calls, highlight last call, left click options for that call, go down to call settings, go down to text phone, mode should be off. Done.

At the AT&T store, they said this is the only phone they've ever seen without speaker ability! Is there a speaker I can hook it up to?

Where is speaker phone located on Alcatel one touch pixi glitz A463BG

Did anyone determine if the Alcatal 871A has a speakerphone feature or, if so, how to activate it?

have options during call but no speakerphone to select?? i get Hold, End, newcal, address book or messaging as options

How do you turn on speakerphone ? I tried the answer to Michelles question did not work

speakerphone on my alcatel871a

I've deleted a bunch of apps and stopped or disabled many others. Nothing seems to work. I've had many of my friends with much more knowledge then me look at it and no one can get it to sleep. I've done every trick except a factory reset and I probibly will do that over the weekend if no solution is found. If even that doesn't work I will probibly return it. I have photos on it now too and I can seem to be able to move them over to my installed memory card. I'll have to email them to myself to save them. Too much work for the day job. That's why the weekend I will make the drastic move of a system factory reset. P,ease if you have further suggestions I would happily appreciate it. I appreciate the help you've already offered me. Thank You!!

My Alcatel A564C will not sleep when not in use and remains on. How can I get it to sleep when not in use? When my phone isn't being used it remains lite and on and won't dime or sleep. What an I do? I've already attempted to set it to sleep after 1 and 2 minutes. I've restarted it and pulled the battery and yet it still remains on. I've read everything I could find online and can't find any information on this problem. FYI...It only started doing this. It was working fine and then it just wouldn't go off. It's of course possible it was something I did but I feel I've checked everything. But other then having a defective phone I'm hoping you can help me. Thank You!!

Noticed that my camera won't work now too. I think the phone. I don't expect everything I buy to work perfectly. I always figure to hope for the best but to accept that sometimes things don't work as advertised or planned. You can buy a new car these days without the possiblty of it being recalled. It's just life. I just wish I could find a way to fix my phone and make sure it doesn't happen again. But I also know I may never know why it happened in the first place. Sending it back just doesn't seem like something I want to do.

Update....I did a factory reset and everything seems to be working properly now. I don't know what the problem was but I hope it doesn't come back. Thank You for you suggestions and help.

Hmm... I'm wondering, maybe one of the keys is stuck or something is touching your screen or it maybe damaged. Try using a screen tester. Let me know if any of those works.

Hmmm.. Sounds like one of the apps installed in your phone makes it wake. What's the last app you installed before that started happening?

Well, as long as it works fine, I think that's good. Glad the issue is now gone. Cheers!

Hmm.. Actually, I say you take it back ASAP and ask for replacement. That's a defective device.

This talkback will not give me access to anything on my phone!

I have an alcatel one touch magic and has enabled my talk back. I have a screen lock and it cant be touch and it so slubbish plus the fact that i cant scroll down to accesibility. What to do? PLs help me

To be able to navigate thru your phone while talkback is on, you need to use two fingers to scroll/swipe and double tap to choose.To turn off talkback, go to Settings > Accessibility > double tap TalkBack and choose off.

I can not get passed verifying my google account and its accepting it just will not let me pass how do i remove this all

This helped me so much I didn't know what to do thanks for letting me know.

I have the Alcatel One Touch Pixie Charm. I am trying to upload images to eBay to sale an item and it will not upload anything. Why is this. I can send mms, upload to Facebook but not to Ebay.

I used to be able to send or receive picture messages, then all of a sudden it stopped. Why? Also, i cannot get a message if it was sent in a group text (I used to be able to).

Hi Andrew. You need data on your phone to send picture messages. You also need to check if you have the correct settings. For the correct settings you can contact your carrier for assistance.

Not 1 person here was able to answer the question. Yes you need credit. Thats all

I can not send or receive picture messages and I have done the factory reset and still nothing

how do i send a picture i took to my daughters text?

Why I cant send upload picture from the gallery
