+1 for Miravision.

Bumping saturation up a little bit, decreasing color temperature so it is closer to neutral 6400K (the default one is a bit too high) and applying a tinny bit of sharpening in Miravision makes a big difference - everyone who sees the phone is instantly very impressed with the screen.

By default the display itself is not bad at all, but Miravision allows you to give it a little bit of 'pop' that makes it look really impressive.

Problem incall volume on Jiayu S3 Advanced

Hi! I'm with some problems. With no reason my Jiayu lost sound incall or it was very very low almost inaudible, and I realized that the volume bar incall (with earpice, headset,speaker) doesnt turn down from a certain point. (See pic attached) O tried to flash other roms including lollipop, dragondevil kernel, rom 4.... And the problem remains.. The sound of back speaker works fine incall, beside the problem with the vol bar. On Mtk Engineer I changed shp, shp2 to 40,52,64,76,88,100,112 (level 0,1,2,3,4,5,6) and now I have sound on earpiece, but it is a little low yet.. the problem on the vol bar remains. If set level 6 for more than 120, the sound stay with noise.

Many Thanks

Lollipop ROMs seem to have 20 partitions, whereas the kitkat ROMs have only 19. I haven't dug into any of the lollipop betas yet, so I don't know what the extra partition is for, but because of the internal memory layout change, it is doubtful that there will ever be a recovery flushable (or even OTA) update. If requires repartitioning the internal storage, and there is no reliable "live" way to do that.

Hi.. I mean if i can dirty flash via recovery from one lollipop version to another. (e.g. from beta2 to beta3) or i have to clean flash everytime a newer version arrives?

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] hariklis:
Hi guys. Needed the help of some experienced users. I have the S2B (S3W 25/3 rom) for 3 months now and everything is quite fine except the wi-fi hotspot. When i try to give internet access to my laptop, it recognises the S3 hotspot, connects to it, but cannot load any website. In fact, the laptop doesnt have internet access. I tried to fix it with a method that was using the settings.db and adding a line there, but the result was to make the home button not working. After a hard reset, the home button fixed but not the hotspot ofcourse. Also downloaded some apk's from the playstore but nothing changed. Any ideas? Is it a matter of the specific rom?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AlexZap:

Is there will be any OTA update to Lollipop on S3SW firmware?Iam happy witht he phone but it seems like the sound quality on earspeaker while calling is not o good.I had before Huawei Honor 4x and there call quality was perfect.Also I noticed the phone overheat on the back when surfing on internet or playing games.

Go to settings>More>Tethering and Portable Hotspot then turn on bluetooth tethering then connect with bluetooth to the device you want to tether to.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
Of course, such lp-lp zip 'upgrades' would sometimes only flash system, boot and recovery. If any other partition changed, it has to be part of the zip and its update script as well.

I was just asking about ota to LL,but its ok can flash manually anyway.

Did someone also noticed overheating on the back, and did someone who have switched from Kitkat to Lollipop check that on Lollipop?Did call quaulity is better then on Kitkat or its a earspeaker issue?

The sound from earpiece is clear but not to loud for me even if volume on maximum,also the sound is "flat".on honor 4x or my old lenovo p780 is much better.I believe it might be better on other roms.Is there is any app on the market for boost the earpiece?

What about the small overheating on the back of the phone(camera area)?

Can someone else check it on kitkat and lollipop please?

Anyway the phone(except that 2 things)is super,fast and smooth.Camera also ok.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ProTechShark:
Lollipop overheats more than kitkat, it seems to cap out at about 51 degrees celcius, which I think is still safe. I turn it off for two minutes and let it cool down completely occasionally, but I probably don't need to.

Problem Flasing Rom

Hi

having a problem flashing from S3W 20150123-225823 to S3W 20150205-141543.

Only when phone is switched on I get the ADB interface showing in Device manager.

View attachment 3181540

When i have phone switched off it shows as Preloader VCOM, but as soon as the phone charging kicks in it disappears, i'm assuming thats why i can get anything to download in SP Flashtool V5.1352

any advice as i would like to upgrade.

also if its any help the case which Antelife have for sale is a very poor fit.

Agreed, it is a bit confusing for newbie, let me reply very generic:

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kommando:
Just be thankful they are going straight to 5.1 and missing out 5.0 .
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
I understand about the difference in partitioning between kk and lp(beta) making it harder or impossible to upgrade ota. But maybe official lp will have same partitioning. Also, when flashing using partition by name, maybe the odd new (beta) partition can safely be ignored.

In general, if Jiayu will not manage to offer kk to lp upgrade ota, then, how is the 'avarage' user supposed to ever get lp?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
An excellent question. Can you imagine all the potentially bricked devices and lost IMEI numbers should Jiayu force 'Non-techie Average Joe' customers to upgrade to Lollipop via the SP FLash Tools route! I know the likes of Samsung and Sony offer non-OTA upgrades via their respective desktop companion software (Kies etc.), but at least the interface of these applications are user-friendly and comfortable for most non-technical users.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
Really?

If they updated to lp 5.0, you can bet that would be the final OS update.

5.0 is full of bugs, you can check the users feedback on any platform.

So jiayu, unlike most of all the other OEMs jumped the update to 5.1 :victory:

If you re-read my posts, i said LL would be only available at end May , early June

Everything went like planned.

Jiayu, depends on Mediatek source, and mediatek always takes time to update their platform.

Just wait for official OTA/ flashtool LL 5.1 or

Flash latest beta ,or

Stay on Stable kk
