Alcatel TCL Flip 2 (T408DL)

Thanks to all who made this phone the best affordable kosher flip around!
after using the phone for some time I have a few suggestions for improvements/bug fixes that i thought might be worthwhile to post (though i haven't a clue if any are feasible)
(Some were mentioned already)

1) A way to easily export all contacts
--When i select all and try to share, it says 'you should select less than 100 contacts' ( so if I have more than 100 contacts and want to backup/export my contacts I would have to select them individually) UPDATE: see FliphoneBochur for a solution

2) When trying to add recipients to an open message by typing in a contact, it usually copies over only the contact name without a number making the message not sendable

3) A way to attach voice recordings to a message (currently if you choose attach audio it only gives the option to attach existing audio files)

4) Add words to T9 dictionary (interestingly after an app crash if you choose app info>permissions>search dictionary>personal dictionary, it shows a screen to tap + to add words to personal dictionary, but it can't actually be tapped perhaps this is a possible fix?)

5) Volume keys work even when the phone is closed risking accidentally turning on the ringer and having the phone ring during shemoneh esrei (My current solution is to turn on the mouse which locks up the volume keys)
--Ideally the volume keys should work only to turn on the screen so you can check time/notifications without any effect on the volume

6) It would be nice if both screens would show separate icons for different notifications- messages/calls/voicemails rather than just having the notification icon (The notification dropdown actually shows separate icons)

7) A normal way to open 'do not disturb settings' to allow only desired calls and texts to ring
--It's possible to get there by going to manage notifications in the dropdown but its cumbersome and you could get stuck if you have no notifications

8) Call history is painfully slow

9) Phone occassionaly freezes up And i need to force restart or wait a while (maybe 30 min) For it to unfreeze. Perhaps it's some kind of screen lock, the only buttons that work are the power button, volume keys, and quick dial button. Only happens once in a while but I have no clue what triggers it

10) The easiest way to get to a contact is by dialing the name from the home screen (ex. 3684 for dovi), however when you do that there's no way to choose which number you want for contacts that have multiple numbers

ALSO
11) the phone by default is set that when the screen is pin locked, 10 incorrect tries will automatically reset the phone (problem for when my kid gets his hand on my phone). is there any way to change this?

12) it seems that the alarm volume cannot be adjusted separately from the phone volume, meaning that for the alarm to ring calls will also have to ring

13) when using search to find a text message, if you click on a message, it goes to the most recent message rather than the message that you clicked on

FliphoneBochur I think you can follow that sequence with any app crash
but here's a way to replicate the sequence: click with the mouse on top of the screen to bring down notifications dropdown> click manage/or history> click do not disturb settings> scrolling down from there should make the settings app crash, after doing that a second time it should show "this app keeps crashing" and you should be able to follow the above sequence, see video below (i dont know if its relevant but i was wondering it it's a solution, but being as darth said theres a already a fix...)

BTW see the end of video how to adjust pointer speed (i like it faster than the preset, though obviously too fast will be hard use)

Biden2020prez I usually hold down the power button for 15 seconds to force restart the phone, I was just wondering what causes the issue because I feel like its not really freezing but rather a screen lock
