Congrats for receiving it before saturday:D

Thanx for your very first impressions on your new phone. Please keep us informed about anything that could be of interessed.

I cross my fingers that the last available update will fix the annoying jump screen. If not, try the method of one guy who claimed that he had fixed it at bbs.jiayu .com. I'am talking about that guy who wants to get a G4 from Jiayu for his solution.

Waiting for more to come ...... :D

John

Mixe is also my favorite.

Thx a lot for checking the SIM mode. It is to acivate a special bluetooth profile called rSAP (remote Sim access profile). It makes your phone acting as a SIM server. I need this (old Nokia) profile for my car's mobile phone kit. The newer "hands free profile" (HFP) is not implemented in my kit. If you do not have a rSAP mobile phone kit you can leave this mode switched off in your phone's settings.

Are you still happy with your G2S? What about battery consumption? Is it moderate or do you have a kind of battery drain? Don't forget to write a review. :D

Regards,

John

I am really sorry my friend, but I tried to retrieve the solution that you mention above but I could not find the relevant post. Could you elaborate on that specific solution?

Edit: Is it the one suggesting that we should boot the phone at cold environment? I live in Greece !!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnLaShot:
I was talking about the guy "361". He claimed after FLASHING the latest rom update for the G2S (that one that should have fixed the jump screen bug) in a cold environment and right after booting up also in a cold environment without touching the screen until the boot process has finished, his jump screen problems were gone. I assume the update recalibrates the screen. That's why you should not touch the screen after flashing. It might be that recalibrating under cold conditions initializes the screen with more stable values. But who knows. I would definitely give it a try, you won't loose anything if it does not work. Ok, Greece might not be the best place for cold conditions. :) But what I would do if I were you, put the g2s in the deep freezer for flashing and rebooting. I'am not kidding, I'am serious.

John
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkas5:
From what I have understood so far, as soon as my phone arrives, I will do the following:

1) Charge it overnight

2) Unplug it and wait for it to cool down (maybe leave it in a cold room)

3) Remove screen protector

4) Turn it on without inserting SIM, SD card and without touching the screen

5) Turn it off and insert SIM and SD card. Turn it on and use.

6) If screen problem appears, flash new ROM at a cold environment and repeat steps 4 & 5.

I am a newbie but I will try to contribute the most I can :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twrock:
SUCCESS!!!!

I don't yet know if the jump screen problem is solved, but I finally was able to flash the new rom.

Ok, when I have time, I will start a new thread, review the phone, and give clear English instructions for how to go about getting and flashing the new rom.

I was not able to create a ClockworkMod Recovery for this phone. According to the website CWMRecovery builder, it was successful. But I was unable to get it to do anything after flashing it.

More to come........................
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnLaShot:
I'am looking forward to your new thread.

Meanwhile, after all these negative news about the G2S in most of the wordwide forums, I'am reconsidering my decision to buy a Jiayu G2S and may better go for a Newman N1.

Please, drop a short post if you could manage to get rid of the jump screen problem.

Regards,

John
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twrock:
No, after running the phone with the new rom, the jump screen problem still remains.

Additionally, all of a sudden it has dropped down to 1.0ghz frequency max (according to CPU Spy). In CPU Spy, you can see that it is at 1.2ghz for about 1 minute, but after that, it drops to 1.0ghz max and never goes back up.

I do

not

recommend anyone buy this phone. I will do everything I can to return it.

The Newman N1 sounds like a much better idea at the moment.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lelepanz:
Hi to everybody.

I've a G2s from last friday.

It comes from mixeshop and it's already rooted.

3 processing day and 3 shipping days with DHL.

It has 2 chinese apk that I've easly removed.

The G2S has not the jump screen bug.

After using fasterGPS app ( i live in Italy and so I've settled gps from Europe) the fix comes in few mins.

Now I'm testing with Copilot navigator program. Atm I've no problem or bug. :)

I've noticed that the max freq. is 1201 ( for only fews seconds) and the phone is not in deep sleep ( maybe I've installed any app like viber or other ... :).

Imho ... it'is a great mobile. :)

There is a dedicated 3d?

Any news for a cwm recovery?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnLaShot:
Have you tried flashing and booting your G2S under cold conditions (deep freezer) with the lastest Jiayu rom. The one that should recalibrate the screen parameter?

John

How much customs duty did you have to pay?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Damie:
I got mine from Mixeshop aswell. I had a G3 before christmas from them aswell. I didn't have to pay customs on either, I guess I was lucky on that count as a friend of mine was hit for €80 on two G2's he ordered. Ouch

So far, I'm loving the G2S, size, shape, screen, battery life - all very impressive, I'll update later in the week after a few charge cycles and more usage:good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnLaShot:
Which carrier did you use? Was it DHL express? And which one did your friend use?

Regards,

John
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twrock:
My experience is that it stays at max frequency when plugged in, even with the screen off. It will drop to deep sleep when the screen is off and it is not plugged in. Othewise, it originally jumped between 1.2ghz and 250mhz only when not in deep sleep.

So at first, I had only 1.2ghz, 250mhz, and deep sleep when using CPU Spy. But now, it starts at 1.2ghz for less than a minute during boot and immediately following. Then it drops down to 1.0ghz. It will still go down to 250mhz and also deep sleep, but it will not go up to 1.2ghz again, no matter what is happening. This is very strange behavior and I think it indicates another problem with the phone, not related to the screen problem.

Maybe I am just unlucky, but it seems there are many, many people who also have the jump screen problem. So it is a risk buying this phone. I would not do it again if I could do it over. I would purchase something else.

I was able to contact Jiayu directly today by phone, because I can speak Chinese. (They said they don't have anyone who speaks.) They said that they can not process any returns until after Chinese New Year. So I will have to wait to send the phone back until mid-February. I'm not sure if that means that they are waiting for replacement units that will not have the jump screen problem, or if it is just a problem of running out of stock. But it will be frustrating to be without a phone for a couple of weeks while I wait for them to fix it or give me a new one. Of course I hope it is a new one, without hardware problems

I will try the "deep freeze" solution. How cold is "cold"? Why does that help?

Actually, I'm willing to try anything! :crying:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Damie:
We both used DHL. I ordered one phone at a time. He ordered two at the same time. That is the only difference, tho Im not sure there would be much size difference when packaging one or two...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnLaShot:
I would say sub zero degree celsius. As far as I understand the last official firmware recalibrates at least one of the touch screen parameters. The new parameter seems to be calculated from the current screen condition. That's why you are not allowed to touch the screen when booting up after flashing. I assume that the screen temperature have an influence on the parameter value. It might be the best to do this procedure without a protector film applied to the screen.

Regards,

John
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twrock:
Thanks for that. I'll go put my phone in the refrigerator right now. ;)

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, the XDA admin suggested we use the "General" forum for discussion about the G2S. So I have started a new thread there: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2126293

In a few minutes I will enter a second post with links and instructions for flashing the updated rom. I hope this will help people who are still struggling with how to get the flash tools to work. I ran into a lot of trouble, but eventually worked it all out.

May I suggest that we continue to discuss this phone over in that new thread?

[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
A) We are not your personal tech support group. We aren't even a tech support group. This a forum for developers and hackers, not off-duty call center and Geek Squad employees. Have you tried contacting Dell?

B) You have provided almost no information about your problem, so we have almost no ability to diagnose the problem. Did it run other OSes acceptably? Did you upgrade to Win8 or do a clean install? Do you still have another OS installed?

C) You have provided almost no info about your system, so offerins any solutions will be very difficult (even if we determine the problem). What video card and CPU does it have? Is it new, or used? Do you have any external monitors connected?

Is it USB3?

Where can I buy one to recharge my n7 in 2h30min?like original cable.

Mine is dead.... :mad:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] issak42:
Its a normal micro USB cable, USB 2. A cable is a cable, most of them should work (all of them actually, a standard is a standard...)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
+1 Look around, the Asus charger is rated at 2A and that's the "trick" for fast charging, modules/generic by others are often rated at .5A to .7A like those in (non-smart) phone days from Motorola & LG's or even Samsung's. The standard/universal micro-usb cable from HTC's are great (got like half of a dozen of them around) and their charger is rated at 1A and it will charge the N7 at a slower pace, but it's fine for overnight and so far so good, no problems (knock on woods - :rolleyes: )

Oh, yeah, BTW - those generic ones from eBay or sold on Amazon as a bundle are just as good in that, they work too - dah dah. From what I know, practically all of these cables - branded or otherwise, are made in China ...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
Do you have a cell phone? Most likely it uses the same cable. I charge my S2 and N7 with the same charger/cable combo. You can find one at almost any cell phone store.

Cheap thin cables have significant resistance, and do not deliver 5 volts at one amp. If the drop is severe, the Nexus will go into slow charge mode, like charging from a PC.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groid:
I was also under the impression that the supplied N7 cable is a USB3 cable and the charger output is 5V @ 2Amps. If I use the original charger, I can substitute my Bionic cable and it seems to charge just as well. The supplied cable is quite thin compared to the typical usb2 cable.

USB3 is an entirely different kind of connector and has minimal PC support as of yet and is not backwards compatible. USB2 is almost universally supported by virtually every PC manufacturer.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ucubz:
AFAIK USB3 isn't entirely different from USB2, and actually backwards compatible. I have USB3 HDD Drive and can easily connect it to my old laptop or USB2 port on my PC. same with my USB3 card reader, i can use it on my USB2 with no problem. Downside just reduced speed, USB3 to USB2 will only reached max speed of USB2 capable of.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
I have two USB3 ports on my desktop and they look nothing like the standard USB2 ports. I also have a USB3 hard drive and its cable will not fit anything but the USB3 ports on my desktop.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groid:
The first caption in the article you list says "USB 3.0 Type A Connector. Yes, it’s backward compatible with USB 2.0." which contradicts your statement about your hard drive and cable. You may be thinking about the micro USB Type B connector for usb 3, which is a different thing entirely.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
I am only going off what's on MY motherboard as far as connectors and they are visually different from the USB2 connectors.

Don't know if anyone has noticed but the play store has been updated, not the app but the website version.

The reason i mention it is because if you go to the play store and click the "My Android Apps" tab it shows you all the apps you have installed and used to have installed(Which is nothing new), but the feature i have noticed which may come in handy for many is you can now update your apps from this tab when there is an update available, the reason this would come in handy for me is like many ppl i have modified my DPI and as most know doing so make some apps incompatible for your phone and unable to update from the play store app.

Well not any more as you can now update them from the play store even those ones that show up in your app store as not being compatible but you already have them installed.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thaevil0ne:
Hello fellow Xperia Gamers,

After using this phone for a while now the following questions remain:

1) Will unlocking the bootloader make it easier to repair by myself in future if this phone ever software bricks?

2) Overclocking requires a kernel like Doom's, the question is: Can you underclock the Xperia Play using rooted stock and setCPU?

3) Lets say I wanted to unlock the bootloader, I could do so without having to flash a custom rom at once right?

4) The modem I use is a r800i - Iam Dutch (the Netherlands) - Provider is: T-mobile.

Can anyone point me to the steps and files needed to flash the official 2.3.4?

(I like to have things ready before they go wrong hehe.)

Any advice is welcome. :)

Kind regards, Stefan,
