[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] sirdickens:
What version of phone do you have, and what software on it?

Because i see many of you are complaining and didn't do single update.

Hell, i've had a sony phone which had issues way bigger than i ever had with S3. And they did like 20 system updates and didn't fix it. When they went to 4.3 phone was so bad and sluggish and the problems with phone hangups, which occured once in two times just increased and started to happen in every call. Not to mention it didn't want to unlock from time to tome (which happens to other sony phones as well). And all they did was updating looks and etc. Just tl cover those shi* they fu**ed up with cream, and real prombles persisted, even increased.

So, after that i bought jiayu and had problems with calls (0402 ROM) and in next ota it was solved and ever since didn't have problems with calls.

It is really stupid to trash a phone here. It really makes no sense. When i've seen how many people here is willing to help and are doing so constantly it just makes me mad people come here and trash everything even though i know there is solution and of course a person that will help and take their time to do so!

Please guys, if you have a problem let's together try to solve, and if you don't like phone just sell it, smash it, do whatever you want but don't be rude.

Have a nice sunday everyone

Long time ago I had brand new Htc One V and there also was problem with call quality,was very quiet.And htc is big brand so thats mean it can happend to every brand.

Currently Iam on stock KK latest release and I done all tricks in engineering mode.ATM I tested only voicemail to check how loud I can hear now.I changed values in sph and sph2 i normal mode and I can say its very loud so thats sorted.

Not tested yet microphone but will do today couse also changed values in mic.And noise reduction on Off atm.

Today I will test all that very often,couse if problem will come back now I will need to return it.I done all whats been said.Have latest KK,changed values in eng.mode,and switched off noise reduction.

There is one good think in all that moaning....Iam sure jiayu programmers following this mega thread and they will do something with this in next updates.

Well that's some impressive battery stats. I'm guessing you have the 2gb version. I'm not sure if I will be able to use xposed on stock jiayu ROM. And are you using a memory card by any chance? Because using a card draws more power. Not really sure how that happens. And I also keep a weather app running in the background waiting for the rains because this heatwave is killing me. I also keep OS monitor to monitor CPU activity. And WiFi is always on even when the screen is off.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Paradelle:
The quality of calls on my S3 is outstanding. Also, in this age the notion that a phone should have call quality above all else is redundant. Of course, we all use our devices differently, but I'd say I spend around 5% of my phone time on calls, the other 95% online/apps/camera etc.

And for the record, I'm 40, with two degrees, and a **** load of phone knowledge.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Sta'ko:
Yep, 2gb version, 32gb samsung SD, and DU battery saver to lower the CPU, and switch of the wi-fi when phone is sleaping also sense v2 for the weather forcast on rom s3bw 20150325 but reboot bug is "bugging" me very much already and some other minor ones and finaly getting so anointed that i'm ready to do my first flash :p some one sad here"i'm much of a wuss to do it") me too, but I am sick enough to do it now.. . I was waiting for OTA Lolipop but obviously it is not coming soon.

I tested again call quality and here how I did it.I make a call from s3 to lenovo p780 couple of times and from lenovo p780 to s3.

On both phones full signals.In s3 tried with noise reduction ON and OFF.

And bad news.Still echo issue on s3.Mayby not when call first time but after couple of times yes.

On test I give s3 to my doughter I call her, I go outside the house with lenovo p780.When talk to her I can hear my self.[emoji20] [emoji20]

No problem when she talk to lenovo and I had s3-I can hear her very well on s3.

But when I had lenovo or my wifes motorola I can hear my self on that both phones.Tried with noise reduction off or on and always when changed that I rebooted s3.I think there is a conflict between upper mic and earpiece in s3.

And ovcourse after fresh reboot there is no problem,its happend after I done some video recordings in s3 camera.

So thats mean I have fauilure unit jiayu s3?

Some people here saying there is no problem with call quality but some are unlucky like me.

I have 5 days for return it to amazon.

Can not complain anything else only that call issue and now I really think to return it.

This is really weird. I had KK, now Lolipop and call quallity is just fine. How come?

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
I do not call much (maybe once per week). I read the phone call audio distortion comes back because other apps (re)use other (noise cancelling) microphone. Reboot fixes it. I believe I also read clearing cache of other apps (which ones?) fixes it.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] alsat1:
Yes,but rebooting and clearing cache is not a solution for dayily use.Thanks anyway.

I will return it and propably buy lg g3 couse its in good price atm on amazon.

@ jiayu.es & jiayu.de : (I assume you read this forum)

Do you have customers complaining about the 'phone call audio' problem discussed here? If so: how do you help them?

PS: for all clarity: I don't have the 'phone call audio' problem myself, but some people here do.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] zed-78:
I know, that jiayu.de is using an own

ROM. But only for their own customers.

I assume, if your seal was broken, your seller flashed the ROM for your region before shipping.

I call about once or twice a month, I use it mostly for internet and gaming. The battery, screen,performance and everything is amazing. I can understand not wanting to F up your phone, but complete dead phone is hard to accomplish and I recommend you just give it a try. It is much easier to flash a rom on this phone than many other phones I've had.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Bantryred:
To the guy who said we were children and braindead, I'm a 40+ who happens to be in IT support .... Silly comment.

And if you read the thread you would have read of other premium phones having issues, including me with a HTC. I'll never buy premium again, they are the rip offs, not these "cheap" phones, we really are getting great value for our money.

hello guys in a few day i'll have a s3 advance, i read many trouble about this phone call, theese problems can be resolved with a new rom or not?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] zed-78:
Only a few have it. I don't. If you experience issues, send it back.

I bought it for having an device while my Sony was in repair service. My Sony is back, and I don't use it any more. My S3S is much better. I didn't have problems on KK only like testing new stuff. Now I'm on superdragon 's V4 and love it. (nearly 40 working in IT)

Have u try AUDIOPATCH before change these setting manually, I found that once you install Audiopatch, you cant change the setting anymore
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] alsat1:
Yes,I used audio patch but anyway there was no problem to change that on KitKat.

And earpiece was better.But cannot sort out problem with call echo.Tried many stock roms and customs on kitkat and lolipop.Tried many settings given me here on xda and thanks for that.I really tried to do something with this,Iam not afraid to flash, tests etc.But strange is that some people didnt have that problem and only few like me have so its might be HW issue.I bought mine on amazon UK,pay more then from china but can return that without problem within 30 days..And I did it.Today is my last day with jiayu S3[emoji22] Tomorrow send it back.And tomorrow will welcome LG g3.JiayuS3 is great phone for the price,just few people received defected unit.

Just for the record, last "premium" phone I had was a Xperia, suddenly it blacks out with 6 months and never wake again, Sony denied warranty because it was rooted to erase tons of bloatware that slowed the phone.

Before I had to change 4 Samsung Galaxy Mini (hangs, sound or screen issues).

That said, I don't trust on "premium" brands. Unless Nokia overhauls an 3310 I'll stick to "chinese" phones. Half the price, same service. I am actually using S3S as main, XiaoMi RR1S for work, and I gave my father a Lenovo A850+ that works great (so he can leave his slow Xperia).

But, to be fair, I have an issue, it happened to me twice: the screen keeps black and phone hangs when I am in the middle of a call and I have to reboot keeping the power button pressed.

Hi bros,

Can you give more detail about camera?

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] gladijator22:
I have a problem with call quallity too, but only after video recording.tested many times with my wife's phone. Lower Mic just not working after that. If you turn phone upside down and speak to upper mic, you can hear yourself on other phone very well. So problem for me is only after using camera video recording. Only reboot help for now. So mic is working good after install audio patch, v3 is much louder then other. But camera must be block it after use.

Read back in the thread... i got these issue when I installed xposed and gravitybox on the latest s3sn rom. If you use gravitybox, go in to phone tweaks and select one of the full screen caller id options. I don't know if it is an issue with the rom or with gravitybox conflicting with something, but this does fix it.

Thanks for the video, Motanbigcat! I guess I'll look for another phone in that case since I'd like a little bit better quality and I've seen phones with better cameras in that price range, I think.

Thanks. I read earlier in the forum, but didn't bother the hassle of going through every post. And I couldn't search "Caller ID" because no one mentioned it. Well, I thought it was enable unknown caller photo. I selected partial in "Full Screen Caller Photo", and it works perfectly.

Thanks once again.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] JohnGR71:
Hi All,

I own the phone now since about 5 month. My phone is the advanced version. Till now I have flash it about 4 times.

At the beginning I used it with the latest ROM on needroms for the S3SW Version, had from time to time the problem that it was freezing. The last KK Rom I used was 20150413-141844 and I had no Issues.

Now I am using the Beta 3 from Superdragonpt, about 2 weeks, and are realy satisfied. No freezes, very good performance, superior sound with Spotify, I use good inears, a battery that last me at normal use about 22 hours.

Normal use means for me about 1 hour gaming, WiFi and both Sim Cards all the time online, music streaming to BT Speaker about 3 hours,

Sync for mails always on as long I have WLAN.

One thing I always do is to start always with a clean system.

That means to take always the time to backup the local stuff. And also the SD card because I'm wiping any old data before I flash a new ROM.

To all the people that are the last time complaining in this forum I have only one thing to say:

Take the time to read through this great forum and workout what people have tried with similar problems. Shouldn't this help you contact your seller, the chance might be high that your unit is defective.

And no, I'm not using my phone only as tablet, I am making about 20 calls a day (business).

I'm also 40+, but guys were not grandpa's ?.

At the end I would like say Thanks to all the guys like superdragonpt and DerTeufel1980 for their work in this forum.

Cheers

finally, I was solved my problem with mic conflict after video recording! First I suspect to phone dialer and I was try to install few apps from Google play. always the same. then tryed to install few camera apps from store. many of them cant record in fullhd, just 480p like 360camera. open camera in this resolution have pink and red lines. finally find mx camera, made video recording in fhd res, and then call myself from my wifes phone. guess what? I can hear myself loud and clear!!! I thing I have audio patch v2, cant remember. v3 have too loud sound for everything. thanks god, not a hw problem. so I suggest to developers to make attention on stock camera app. it works great for making photo and video, but just disable mic for phone call, and leave active mic on top of the phone.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ProTechShark:

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] alsat1:
I was trying to help,I sometime sugest to try other rom for call issue as I did.I clear explain my steps what I done for try to fix my call quality problem.

This is high spec.great phone,really smooth,fast,good battery in use and a lot of extra things like smart wake,nfc,gestures etc.For that price is a bargain.

Iam not angry on jiayu,I just was unlucky with this one problem,and as said mine was bought on amazon so no problem for return,I will add few more bones and will get another phone.

Someone above said its can be sorted out by using different camera app so I believe next rom updates will sort this out and all s3 users will be satisfaited.;)

To be honest, I don't know this app either. Probably it's not even considered as malware in China.

But I can tell you, if this app is part of the final rom as well, we'll remove it, before installing the rom on our devices.

Can someone help with the S3SN rom ? I have a few issues which i cant fix

1. if i install the rom and then boot to recovery and install GAAPS the phone will boot and display an error massage in chinese (i think it means that system UI has crashed) i tried quite a few GAPPS versions. the only way to succesfully use GAPPS is to boot the phone set it to english and then boot into recovery and install GAPPS.

2. On the S3SN rom i cant see any notification icons (not whatsapp nor facebook etc..) what can i do in order to see these notifications ?

Hi

One of the best replies here ;)

My Xperia Arc / zte blade L2 / wiko darkmoon, never had proper support from the OEMs (Just to mention some of my phones ...)

ontopic:

We're waiting for the next official LL build...

Until now, the best official release was Beta3. (in terms of stability)

So i merged some things from Beta3 and also Beta 4 smart wake into my unofficial build ..

... so right now... This is the best combo.

But, try it yourself. ;)

edit: I don't have any battery drop, or Mic issues (never had on KK also.)

This could be related to some small hardware revisions (rather normal for OEMs, to make small changes on HW)

cheers

Pretty much manufactures nowadays don't really care about ROMs except if you pay 600+ for ROM. My family has an zte vec and a Sony xperia m and both didn't get a single update from the day bought. I had nubia z5s mini some time ago and we were lucky if we get an update once per month. It started with 4.2.2 ROM and after like half year of 4.4 we got it at last as a beta.. And stayed that way. On the other hand with jiayu I see developers working with the phone and the .de and the .es shops take part in this forum and this is great. What I would love to see from jiayu or mediatek in general is to see some source code revealing sio the true modding begins but I am pretty sure we won't [emoji14]. Keep in mind that all phones suffer from some problems.. Even the s6 had touch screen issues, a phone that costs 700$.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:

Yes, you're right ...
