if you are referring to the sofkeys menu at the bottom, we don't need it actually because jiayu s3 softkeys is on the device and it works. I tried removing it by turning off "SMART MENU" from the settings which will hide this on some apps.

overall FLYME for jiayu s3 isn't usuable yet. too many trouble and bugs I encountered installing it. It took me 3 attempts to install it properly. and so I switched back to ColorOS.

Well I managed to fully root it and then fully unroot it but my banking app still says the phone is rooted so it looks like its not compatible.

which phone did you get from coolicool 2g or 3g ram and when did you order it because most people who ordered the 3 gig

Guys, let's rock the boat!

3GB version at official Jiayu store shop.ejiayu.com is 999 CNY (which is approx. 160 USD).

Anyone have any contacts at Jiayu? Did anyone speak with Jiayu in order to buy and ship the device internationally directly from them?

Maybe there is someone who can speak Chinese and ask Jiayu to give us such opportunity?

I don't want to pay 215 USD at Aliexpress, I want to get the device at lower price directly from Jiayu official shop.

waj1234, i know many people havet issues with dual sim phones and banking app. Will test it myself IF coolicool ever send my order, they have been reliable before.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] pwatkins:
Why do you need a banking app? My current phone THL W8, also bought from China, has never allowed me to download my Nationwide Banking App. Google Play Store simply sees me as "outside UK" even if I am in the UK at the time. Maybe it's because my google account itself was registered in South Africa, where I live most of the time or it's something to do with the Android structure of the phone..

But this is no problem I just bookmark the Login Page for Mobile Internet Banking and use that. Maybe not quite as pretty as the App but every bit as fast and functional for all aspects of banking - and actually more secure! When I get my Jiayu S3 which is shipped and on it's way, if I can access the App - fine. If not I will just continue with using Mobile Internet Banking with no problem.

Why sacrifice a great specification and great price phone for this one tiny issue?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] waj1234:
Because I am very choosy when it comes to phones. I can't use the web version without carrying my card reader too which is a pain. I will stick with the LG for now.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] pwatkins:
I used to bank with Barclays and I could always login on-line on the web by either using the Card Reader and PINSentry OR by using Memorable Data and Passcode. No need to carry Card Reader around. - which I agree would be a pain.

But hey if using an App rather than Mobile Banking on your phone is a deal-breaker so-be-it!

Has anyone installed this rom?

http://www.needrom.com/download/jy-s3-stock-moded-system/

having a very strange issue now....

On the rom that the phone came installed with I had a 9gb internal sd loaded with music

After flashing this the internal comes up as 0bytes, unable to take pictures etc. When plugged into a pc it mounts as around 4gb and with a twrp folder. No music present.

If I wipe and restore my backup the internal shows up like it did before (didn't backup sd card) so the new rom seems to be miss mapping my storage?

any ideas on how to fix thus guys?

The officiel newui lp rom is butter smooth. No lag! It's awesome:)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AlexZap:
The idea/theory Here is that kitkat is a 32bit os and lollipop is a 64bit os. The fancy new processor in your Jiayu is based on the ARMv8 instruction set, which is 64 bit. If the OS and the processor are running the same instruction set, it should be more efficient, and therefore you should see better performance. Whether this translates to the real world or not is a whole other question. There are all the intricacies of the java virtual machine that runs 95% of all your android apps that I don't even portend to begin to understand. What you have to remember is that your phone is more then the raw instruction set that is on the processor... it is a SoC or system on chip (commonly referee to as the chipset). This includes the processor, the GPU, the memory controller, the storage array, the camera controller, network controller, and more. So, aside from having a 64bit os, all the drivers for everything else need to be properly optimized. Case in point, As has been the problem with the phone, it has a great camera module, but the drivers have been pretty lousy. Whether they are 32 bit or 64 bit, it doesn't make the camera work better or faster if the drivers stink. Same goes for the GPU. I think even on the 32 bit side, just about every last drop of power was squeezed out of it already... I doubt lollipop will give much higher frame rates. Where you would see a lot of speed increase is if you set your phone as encrypted... that gets a significant boost from a 64 bit architecture.

Tl;dr: anyone claiming lollipop is should be faster is just speculating. If Jiayu were google and had fleets of programmers who did nothing but release and optimize their ROMs, then yes, lollipop surely would be faster. But they are not. So who knows.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] cmullen:
I get in the low 40's on AnTuTu with KK - for a while now (4-5 months). I'd be happy with 50 from LP.

---------- Post added at 01:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

My bad that is what I meant by unleash the beast - 64bit CPU with a 64bit OS.

I agree optimizing OS sw like drivers could do allot also.

Allot has been written in tech about the 64bit LP, out of the box, taking advantage of 64bit cpus. Just figured there are around a dozen or more forum members who can give us real data at least to our hw's KK and LP kernel ROMs.

Additionally all of our KK users seem to run a Jiayu KK ROM based on the MTK source code port of the Google Android OS source release. This is not true for our LP users as MTK doesn't open source their code as previously discussed. Therefore these LP ROMs that are non-MTK LP source code based are made by very smart folks, but they can not have access to the knowledge base of our S3's SOC hw like the chip's designer/manufacturer.

Are there going to be several source code branches of the MTK source code release of their LP kernel port from Jiayu our phone's OEM and Jiayu VARs? I can see VARs adding apps and changing bloatware on their LP ROMs but all sw change management of the MTK source code release of LP optimized for our S3's should be centralized, shouldn't it?

I tried to put this rom on my phone on Saturday using Flashify. I was not succesful as no changes seem to be made to my phone.

I tried to follow steps on the TF forum but as most of these are in Spanish, even using translate I think I missed a step.

Can somebody tell me or point me in the right direction as to ensure I do this correctly?

:confused:

What do you mean in Spanish, the whole FAQ section is in English and everything is explained quite well, what is ROM and how to install it. Check again. Cheers

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Dior DNA:
Thanks for explaining and congratulations to TF for fixing !. As said, as Linux user, I had not possibly noticed nor understood, which is why I asked. In summary: it is not a crucial differentiator for me. Also because 'MTP modus' appears to work.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] cyberdejy:
I don't know about you but I just attached my phone with my laptop and the folder with both internal and external memory immediately pop up on the screen. I checked and MTP is enabled. So I don't have problems with the USB connection as some of the others said. Once again I'm using extreme ROM. The only problem that I had was with text-to speech error but I solve it later. So for now I'm quite happy with the new ROM. Thanks TF developers. ! Have a nice day !
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Snielsss:
As some had with another rom, I have a flickering screen with brightness on the lowest setting. There was a patch that fixed that, but I dont know if it will work with this newest TF LL rom? And who has the patch? Can't download it anymore.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] sutty86:
No I have posted numerous times on this thread and it still shows up in my favourites the phone is technically amazing for the price just shame about jiayu not sorting lollipop out,and things like the poor charging rate makes the phone to me unusable.

I'm very happy with my meizu m2 obviously missing the NFC and the faster clockspeeds but getting much more battery life and phones charges fully in 90mins.

And meizu are great for updates

So concerning my screen problem... Geekbuying says that warranty DOES NOT cover the screen. When I ordered phone, I paid extra for European warranty, but it doesn't cover repairs, only changing the phone.

So if I want my screen fixed, I have to pay about 40€ for shipping to China and at least $68 for changing the screen. That's over half of the price of the phone.

BE WARNED WITH GEEKBUYING, THEIR WARRANTY IS ****!!!

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] juukeli:
There's a dark spot on my lcd-screen that's very likely caused by overheating. I posted picture of it earlier here.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] guido21:
Some of the warranties are a bit odd... I bought mine from bang good who handle the warranty themselves apparently but they don't cover the main board?!... Where do you live? I'm in the UK and found some cheaper shipping quotes to china using some of the agency sites like parcelmonkey and parcelbroker etc... I think the cheapest tracked/insured service I found was about £16 at the time. I haven't had to use it yet but was researching the 'what-ifs' before buying a Chinese phone.

You could always sell it on eBay (making the problem known to prospective buyers). You might get a good chunk of money back and then buy another one... The price of the 3Gb model has come down a bit on some sites, bang good had it for £130 last time I looked. It might work out cheaper and quicker then sending it back for repair?... Have you tried putting a tempered glass screen protector over it? It might make it a bit less obvious?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] juukeli:
I live in Finland. I could pay for shipping, but paying for repair is out of the question. If they would send me a new screen and I changed it by myself (I've changed few), it would cost that same $68. I think I can buy new screen cheaper than that.

It's pretty interesting that there's so many parts that aren't covered by warranty: screen, mainboard. I wonder what parts are covered by warranty? :laugh:
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
A new screen is about 70-80 USD, then add the cost of shipping.
