I applied that Rom over my current Beta Official 4.1.2 and noticed it's only an update-flash.

Have you got any information on its features or anything like that? I noticed it's a QT Rom so I'm guessing it has similar characteristics, hopefully it fixes my battery drain!
[General Questions and Answers] cha_indian:
I think you are lucky if you are getting good signals....One more problem i discovered is that, on the GSM SIM, the signal is showing 4 bars and when i call it the error message is saying...the phone is out of coverage area !! Works well with Nokia....

If some people are not having this problem , then there is a problem of quality control at Jiayu's end. How can some people have this problem and some don't ? Earlier I had Lenovo A60 and it was flawless when it comes to signal sensitivity.
[General Questions and Answers] adit9989:
No, I would say you are un-lucky (in other words you have a lemon, it can happen with any brand), as most do not have any problems. Exchange your phone, if you can.
[General Questions and Answers] Pillascocos:
Then I am UN-LUCKY as well... suddenly phone start to loose signal when you get into any indoor, it's pretty sad having to run out everytime someone calls you or you pretend to call someone.

A message appears frequently saying: Restricted Access Changed

As many of you say... it is an hardware issue so there's no way to solve... but if an software update can solve it, make it know please.

Thanks in advance.

PD: I bought it trough Aliexpress
[General Questions and Answers] cha_indian:
That is exactly how my phone is behaving. I have to run out to talk or need to go out to take the call. I think it is definitely a hardware issue and it is sad that Jiayu is selling faulty phones without any checks ... I too bought the phone from a aliexpress seller and there is very little hope of getting replacement. Perhaps , all the people who are having this problem will have to petition the company to provide us replacements....

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

Was this problem in the previous batch phones as well?? I mean the batch were the name "Jiayu" was etched on the front panel ?? I have searched internet for user reviews but i did not see anyone reporting such a problem..
[General Questions and Answers] Hamanu11:
Add me to the list. 3G on my Jiayu is definitely faulty. 2G works well, but switching to 3g = no internet whatsoever (even though the symbol changes from E to H).

I've ruled out settigns/ROM/factory reset so its definitely faulty hardware.

P.S. Bought from Fastcardtech

My conclusion is that Jiayu sucks at QC. Their malfunction rate is probably around the 5% mark and the "lucky ones" among us are screwed with no possibility of replacement/repair (the "warranty" listed on the websites is bogus anyway).

3G problems with G3

I don't have any issues with 3G. With the previous ICS Rom, or the JB Beta.

I noticed however that are some options to configure the data service for each SIM that depends on the network ID. From one of my SIMs (the one I have the data connection enabled) there weren't any match, so I added it manually.

I've done it before trying the 3G connection, so I'm not sure it fixes (or whatever) something... but for the ones having problems, it's worth giving it a try.

[General Questions and Answers] mengfei:
I just flashed this via CWM

- it's a full JB ROM & most from ICS are working Except LED notification

- All signals on "my" G3 are OK & GPS was spot on

- USB tether is OK

- camera / video is much much better now, it's not a Google Cam this time ( where faces/ details are smudged off) they they have more detail & are more pixelated when zoom all the way in rather than just smudged BUT there is a slight delay when taking pics

- Much faster! than ICS!

- Battery not sure yet

- 5880 antutu score

- in acounts setting there is "Virus killing" & "Harassment Intercept" option but are not operational (FC)

The link that you provided does look like a other Rom (probaly a Huwai port or something), because we where talking about official beta, but this is a modded rom for sure.

I ended up flashing the official beta Rom back, as it seems to be the most fulfilling Rom for the device to date.

so your saying that the official JB 4.1.2 Beta is much better than the official ICS 2012-11-29?

AW: Jiayu G3 Root

For me JB is much better than ICS. The most annoying bugs are gone:

red led deep sleep bug seems to be fixed

spelling correction (in SMS app) is fine (had to replace LatinIME in ICS)

pre rooted

My girlfriend is using this as daily driver and she hasn't complained anything yet. On official ICS, she cursed every day ;)

recovery for 4.1.2 ?

Hello

I have the 4.1.2 beta ROM installed,

I want to install GOOD in order to have mails and agenda from work. It requires a non rooted phone .

Made the unroot with bin4ry method, it is trully unrooted (apps that need root acces are not working), but I still have super user app installed. And GOOD keeps saying that there is a security failure since it is "jailbrocken" LOL.

I can't remove supoer user app (I'm unrooted and SP Flash tool method is not working).

I have tried to root it again (bin4ry), it's not working :(

I'm kinda stuck... Anyone here has managed to have working recovery with the official 4.1.2 beta ROM? I would definitely roll back to 4.0.4 unrooted to have a working GOOD app...

any help would be apreciated, thanks in advance

For me it had a lot of lag, SD card was not found a number of times. Used it for a day and it was a nightmare. Went back to Lewa ICS.

Back to official beta, which is the fastest and most reliable for the moment.

Everything working for me beside wifi

I got around 50-100 kB/s speed, if im close to the router i can get full speed, but even on others rooms i got good signal strentg, the phone shows same signal strenght as others devices, but get this low speed.

Another problem is when im conected with the phone and using it the who net colapse, it`s like if the max bandwidth is determinated by the smartphone, about the channel whenever i use a different channel from 11 the connection is very unstable i lose it every 2 mins, the problem is there are others nets on channel 11 so i have to avoid it.

What do you think i have some problem with the smarthphone wifi or it could be some router incompatibility/configuration?
[General Questions and Answers] i-hunter:
Hi, I'm new so pardon me if I didn't search well. Can anyone that has flashed and tried the 4.1 JB confirm if the 2-sim wifi 3g "restricted access changed" problem is fixed or still exists?

Anyone has gone through this issue with a custom rom or smth?

As previously mentioned, it's quite annoying going after the warranty on the other side of the world...
[General Questions and Answers] cha_indian:
@ i-hunter....Jiayu G3 has a problem with signals....it is signal insensitive and that is why it regulary shows the "restricted access changed" error. I tried all kinds of ROM and finally conviced that it is a hardware issue. Please contact the seller for repair or replacement and ask him log in this forum too. I have sent my phone to the seller and I hope I get it back repaired.

And a sincere advice to people facinated by Jiayu.... It has a very weak quality control and there is high probablity of getting defective piece. It is best to avoid Jiayu G3.
[General Questions and Answers] itzikd1:
for the people who got the G3 was wondering if you can tell me how much time does it hold with screen on with brighness minimum (4 hours? more?)

does it run gta 3 smothley?

does it run without lags or does it get stuck?

its just that i got a galaxy s1 and i dont know if to get the G3 or galaxy s2 (i know that with the right rom galaxy s2 wont get stuck..i got s1 currently)
[General Questions and Answers] pel.89:
brighness 50% is around 4h or mby a bit more

no clue, i read somewhere the games lags but idk

no lags for me on daily use and the screen is very good.

The phone is fine but lacks a bit of power imho, if u want powerfull games or 720p vids with high bitrate then it will lag a bit
[General Questions and Answers] i-hunter:
Thanks... after searching a forum in my native language describing my problem, I got an answer saying that he has no problem with dual sim... so I'm guessing after also trying all the roms I could find, specially from needrom, that it is a hardware problem and not a characteristic of jiayu.

I got a bit happier though with the official 4.1.2 rom. This issue happens less often and even the led works that works with no custom ROM.

Anyway. I'm also sending it back. Will report back when I get another one or this one fixed.

And as for the warning you are right. But jiayu has everything in a very low price.. It might worths a try.

---------- Post added at 09:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 AM ----------

Dude my opinion is that if you are going for a phone like jiayu, it's because you are going for value for money. If you can afford to buy an s2, of course it is better. From the support to the development, it's a far better pick. Think only of how many programmers-hackers are working on a custom rom for samsung and the results it brings and how many for the little jiayu.

Not to mention the camera. Have no idea what is the quality of the samsung camera but keep in mind that one of the reasons the jiayu and alike phones are so cheap is because the camera is only good for daylight motionless targets.

Still if you consider it otherwise, the battery might hold up to two days. It used to be one at first because I used it all day but now it holds for two days almost.

As for the graphics, 3d are a little slow i think. Haven't tried a hard game but I play temple run 2 and it stucks a bit at high graphics with shades etc but runs smoothly in medium.

I recommend it for value for money but not against an s2 or smth.
[General Questions and Answers] itzikd1:
thanks :)

its just for that price i can get a used s2 so il probly just buy a used phone :)
[General Questions and Answers] cha_indian:
I understand that they are a small company but.... they need to sell only those products that are atleast working on basic functions...whatz the point of buying a cellphone that can't get signals ... never mind its great screen, battery, blah... blah. !!
[General Questions and Answers] i-hunter:
Well as I mentioned before, it's probably not a general problem but my specific mobile's problem.

However, depending on your country, consider that jiayu g3 supports 800 and 2100 mhz frequencies for 3g. Its different from the gsm so check your network's 3g frequency because for example, I think in usa it's at 1900 mhz so it probably doesnt work!
[General Questions and Answers] Hamanu11:
I am relatively satisfied with the Jiayu I have. GPS can't get a lock for a long time and is mediocre at best so, basically useless and the signal problem in my case is that the 3g module is defective.

For the money I paid I got a great screen and battery life and a lag free experience.

However, I'm not buying a Chinese phone again. I'll save up for an S4 this time. My Chinese experience taught me that its simply not worth the money to get a phone which might or might not work.

Then i used one off this thread with the binary root http://xdaforums.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=38140201

I installed Pdanet first to use that softwares driver only

Then copied cwm on to my sd card. Downloaded mobiluncle from google play. then booted into cwm from recovery update mode (within mobileunlce)

Then when the phone rebooted Installed a rom that i had stored there all ready...called Raw_MOD_JB_B1.zip then after that installed a different one the same way which is

QT_4.1.2_YIZHI_G3_lite_v2.zip, My wife uses this one and doesnt have many problems at all.

However i just had a message on my phone "unfortunately com.mediatek omacp has stopped"

Any ideas what this means i am not a knowledgeable android hacker/user at all ..

lat night i set the alarm on the phone put it on charge and this morning heard nothing the phone had switched off, battery at 75 % when i turned it on .. any ideas at all ... wifes G3 awesome mine very worried about... specially since i also had a umi x1 which was even worse..just want a working G3 maybe i will maybe try my wifes battery in my phone and see if i have a faulty battery (which i hope i do) and not the phone faulty itself.

Hello all

Anybody seen this one w w w chinaandroidmall.com/jiayu-g3-recovery-root-install-os-tool-download/[/url]

Anyway guys i believe i have found the issue with my phone i think i have a faulty battery which is why it keeps rebooting all the time.

I charged it last night while i was asleep all night 8 hours woke up to find the phone had rebooted and that the battery was on 79 %

Then i turned it off rebooted it and it was on 56%

So i had a umi x1 which i had a spare battery for and managed to force it into the G3 just (same chipset and same volatage battery rquired).. without doing any damage and now it seems to be working fine but we will see ...

whats Intresting is that i cant see any difference really on it draining faster than my wifes real G3 battery in her G3 the umi battery in my G3 is about the same ..this is a bit wierd because the G3 is supposed to be 2750 miliamp and the Umi x1 1700 ..:D
