Got compass?

Great to see you're enjoying the phone, can you please check if it has compass and that it works correctly? You can check Google maps - if the position cursor is an arrow, rather than a dot, you've got compass. A more direct data can be seen by any of the specialized tools like GPS Status. Thanks in advance.
[Android General] Supracer:
Gps works fine no problems :) compass works great

I have Jiayu G3 and the schedule power on/off works great. The phone really turns off, not a deep sleep mode. I suppose that it require hardware support, probably an RTC chip which can provide this so Android can do it if the hardware (and phone ROM) implements this. Very usefull feature as I usually turn the phone off by night anyway.Wish all phones would have this feature.

If there is interest I can translate some of the stuff there.

A problem with G2 is that there are several revisions, which although very similar are not 100% compatible with each other. eg 512MB, 1GB, different screen ...

Hi,

does the G2 offer under bluetooth settings -> avanced settings this feature: remote SIM mode ?

Can someone check that out for me?

Thx in advance.

[Android General] Supracer:
I'm using jelly bean 4.1.2 and yes it does have, but what do you need it for?

Jiayu G2 1GB Ram MTK6577 @ xda
[Android General] JohnLaShot:
Thx for answering so quickly, Supracer!

"Remote Sim mode" activates the following Bluetooth profile:

remote Sim Access Profile (rSAP).

I need this profile to connect to my car's mobile phone kit.

Unfortunately my car does not support the newer "Handsfree profile" (HFP).

So I need a phone with rSAP.

I think about buying a G2 or the G2S or a Newman N1.

But I am still hesitating because both companys do not release kernel sources.

Can you remember if there was the "remote sim mode" also in android 4.0 firmware for G2?

Does the G2 performs better on 4.1.2 or what improvments do you notice so far?

Regards,

John
[Android General] Supracer:
Newman n1 don't even bother, g2s is okay and the g2 1gb mtk6577 is great but consider of buying the g3 much more better bigger screen and HD so I think that's the best choice! But about my phone its very good does all the things I want and need especially with games! 4.0 does have the bluetooth remote sim mode, jellybean has better camera quality much much much more smoother and better at multitasking and the touch is like a galaxy 2 (very responsive). Anyways for the price of $180 I think its its one of the top phones but that's my opinion I think its an exact copy of a s2 with a body of a s1.....

Thanx for the information and good luck. My opinion is my phone or the g3

[Android General] twrock:
I'm curious why you think the Jiauy G2 is better than the Jiayu G2S? I know the G2S is brand new and is more expensive, but it has 1.2Ghz cpu, bigger battery, standard JB rom (already rooted? I see SU in /system/apps), higher resolution screen, better front camera, etc. It seems to be a better phone from what I see.
[Android General] Supracer:
Yes there is a $60 difference between them and its not that much better. That's why I say I rather get the g3

Supracer, can you tell us if it's better then stock 4.0.4? I read it's beta version. How about battery drain?
[Android General] Supracer:
Okay I've been using it for almost a week now and I have to say its 10x more smoother than ics, multitasking is beautiful, WiFi and 3g is much stronger (I know because I used 4.0.4 and I had the xperia ray and my wife uses galaxy and in my toilet I always loses signals WiFi and 3g) and now I have 3 bars which is like wow!! I can't think of anything else but its the best rom I used till now because I tried all and none of them compares to this rom..... Just 2 things that bugs me is that the volume is kinda low but I'm using speaker boost which excellent and the vibrating sometimes doesn't on incoming calls and SMS but I'm using an app to fix that. So yea I recommend this rom to anyone and I'm loving it so far its flawless

A big thanks from me! Supracer helped me onto JB as above.

Love the Rom, really smooth, batter ylife has def intitely got better. Only issue was no keyboard on the ROM so either stick one in the zip before flashing or load an apk ont oyour SD card ready for when you start JB for the first time.

Once on JB, I took the recovery.img from the Russian 4.0.4 ROM Supracer mentions above and installed it using Mobileuncle (from Google Play) and it was pretty straightforward.

I would say do it, its a fine ROM for day to day use.

Jiayu G2 1GBRAM Dual-Core JB 4.1.2
[Android General] shrimpodog:
The boards.ie thread (2056851139) has a few who have used mixeshop. That's how I found them. OK reports on that thread.

There's a post there, dated yesterday, by someone who got a G3 via DHL with no import charges.

I've just ordered mine now. A G2 ($114) +1mb ($28) with silicone case ($3), and screen protection($1). Gone for the cheapest delivery to the UK ($12.96) so totalled $158.96. I'm quite happy to sit back and wait.

One surprise when I checked out using Paypal (to get the protection) they added a $5.84 Paypal surcharge. Not mentioned before checkout. I did consider aborting there, but let it run.

Not sure if there is a hit using the other payment method?

JB aside the main reason for getting the G2 over the G2s was the screen. Not sure I want a high res letter box just yet! problems aside. I did ponder long as I also wanted JB which until recently was only on the G2s. Button is a concern by some on the G2, but hey-ho. G3 is just too big and high res for me. My current is only a 3.5" ZTE Blade 2, and elements on that screen (800 x 480) are really too small for me. Even texting in the horizontal view is challenging!

Primary use will be as a phone anyway not a video viewer, and being of pensionable age with large chubby fingers, and failing eyesight, I think I'd get wound up by more miniature icons and keyboard keys on the G2s. My Nexus 7 is also challenging!

The beta1 finally swung it in favour of the G2. Cost was also in favour of the G2, but I know the G2s looks a sturdier build with metal frame etc.

The mixeshop checkout seems professional enough. I got two e-mails. One confirming account creation (which I didn't request but will be helpful for tracking) with password etc, and a second confirming the full order detail and a link to the invoice on their site.

If you can wait a fortnight I'll let you know if anything arrives here? and if customs feel my collar on the way!

Hope this helps.

G2

Having received the G2 a couple of days ago, my initial impressions are very good, but I have a couple of questions..

1. I am on my home network in my own country (Orange..now called EE and in UK). The phone signal symbol shows that its its roaming for some reason and to get data I have to enable "Data Roaming".. not ideal when I travel abroad and forget to dissable it.

Maybe this has something to do with it being a dual SIM phone?? Have tried SIM card in each slot but the same.

2. I often get messages saying "Restricted Access Changed"?? Part of the same problem maybe?

Any Ideas??
[Android General] Supracer:
The restricted part is okay but have you seen your APN settings?

Jiayu G2 1GBRAM Dual-Core JB 4.1.2
[Android General] pontiuspilot:
Thank you...

APN settings look the same as my last phone, other than the G2 has an option to "enable/disable APN seetings" which is currently enabled. I am thinking it might have something to do with Orange/EE (my provider) using signals from T MOBILE in the UK. So I dont know if I have the option to dissable T Mobile usage??

It's on your own risk! This rom is for jiayu G2 dual core.

Best rom for me until now is the original 4.1.2 JB Beta, but it eats much more battery as stock 4.04 rom. The solution: root your phone and add the following two lines in your build.prop file:

ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0

pm.sleep_mode=1

Well since its a chinese phone and it doesn't have anything to cover the mic try to blow in it or use a hair dryer....

Build number 20121017-121813.

Is there any way I can update this to a JB ROM?

Not necessarily a Jiayu one, anything would do.

I found this: bbs ejiayu com forum-27-1.html

guessing that the popular version is my handset - but I can't make head nor tails of the website.

After a bit more searching I found a page on the pandawill forum that has a beta1, was going to run it and see how it goes, but the filehost needs a registration and I'm waiting on a confirmation email (I think... I don't exactly speak Chinese)

I can't link it but if you google "G2 Dual Core TD" it should pop up if anyone wants to take a look.
[Android General] kokuo81:
Hi,

it seems that you have the 512MB version.

On the jiayu webpage there should be a specific link to the firmware for your version.

@Supracer

It would be great if you could reupload the the best JB rom you tested on your Jiayu G2 1GB on a good filehoster (Mega is the best atm). This way everybody would have a tested JB rom directly available and in a "normal" language :P

Obviously, imho the useful apps you are using to enhance/fix your Jiayu would be more than welcome too.

Thank you a billion
