Annoying design + lag issues

Phone owned for less than a month

For the Alcatel Onyx (500R) there's two small design issues and one other issue. I'm having one with WiFi calling. When you' connect to WiFi, there's a permanent notification that demands that you turn WiFi calling on. When you turn it on, there's another permanent notification that tells you that all calls will be made with WiFi. This is extremely annoying. I don't want a permanent notification every time I connect to a WiFi.

The second issue comes with the case that's made specifically for the phone. It blocks my microphone, and you have to hold it right in front of your face, horizontally, for people to be able to hear you.

Sometimes the keyboard will be incredibly slow. It will take a full two seconds for a letter to be registered. The only way to fix this is to restart the device.
