[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AlexZap:
i have had a similar issue in the past, and i tracked it down to the gps... specifically A-GPS. i too do not have a data plan, i am on pay-as-you-go. i get charged per kb. suddently i started getting a bunch of texts saying that i spent .01 in data. after pulling my hair out and removing tons of apps, i found that it was the AGPS system contacting the towers over a data connection to get their position for triangulation.

the issue i found is that unless i totally disabled gps, there was nothing i could do to get it to stop this (even on lower accuracy or hardware only). i solved it by going to f-droid and installing afwall and disabling the ability for the GPS to use the cellular connection. suddenly, no more charges. though GPS isnt as accurate now.

what is funny is i live on the east coast of the united states. currently i am on vacation in California, and i needed GPS to be better, so i re-enabled it. i know it is using the data connection (based on the logs in the engineering tool), but i am not getting these charges any more. i'll have to see what happens when i am back in the east.

i don't know why android allows this to happen... i am mostly sure it is an android problem and not a jiayu problem... or at least a mediatek problem (the way they implement GPS), and not a jiayu problem. but that is how i solved it. good luck!

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
Thanks for the info [MENTION=5726442]AlexZap[/MENTION] - much appreciated!

Glad you managed to track down the cause of your data connection problem - did AGPS show up in the 'Data Usage' screen or did you find out another way?

I actually don't use GPS, and always have it turned off, so in my case I think the culprit lays elsewhere I'm afraid. I too use a firewall app and have set it that NO element of Android can use mobile data - yet 'Android OS' still managed it somehow.

Incidentally, this never happened when I was on KK, so it appears that it's something in the official LP build causing it. Happens on completely random day and times, with the latest being 12:05am last Thursday - 3kb data that I didn't request, that'll be €1 please, sir! :mad::)

Is there a way I could find out what aspect of 'Android OS' is calling for the data connection, as in itself it's such a vague reference and provides no real clue.

It's actually quite worrying that a data connection is being made at all, seeing as I explicitly denied permission to do so, not just by one method, but two! I'd urge anyone on the latest LP to check their data usage periodically, just in case.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AlexZap:
Hmmm. That is strange. I tracked mine to the GPS because I had photo geo tagging on, and I noticed that I got ussd txt messages often after I would take a picture. If I turned geo tagging off, the messages became les frequent. When I was poking in the engineering mode for A GPS, I noticed it has an internet address in there for "soul" (supplemental?) Connections... after checking my home router logs, I saw that nothing ever connected to that address. I couldn't disable it so I experimented with afwall. Now GPS tells me "host name resolution failure" but I get zero ussd texts.

But anyway, I am on kit Kat, not lollipop. I would suspect something similar is going on and using name resolution over the data connection, but since the firewall apps I checked on log when something is blocked, it probably will be a beast to track down.

Good luck!
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] jaunedoeuf:
I have the same issue on KK too.

I did not try to track the cause because it only cost me about 0.01 euro per mount for those connexions.

Anyway, that should no be appening.

And I also have the GPS stoped. So I believe it is not AGPS related. Or is it ?

But then, how ?

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AlexZap:
even with GPS disabled, i still got this because i had various apps doing geotagging. even with GPS off, geotagging anything will turn it back on momentarily. btw, i dont really think it is the GPS, i think it is in the name server lookup code, either part of android or the GPS, but something somwhere is telling it to do a DNS query over data connection only, not wifi or anything else. the only way i found to block it was to setup a firewall to block the GPS service from using wifi. after that, if you look in the engineering mode app, you will see that AGPS has issues with nslookups for the supl address.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] maddogcz:
GPS works great on KK EXCEPT the latest build.

On latest KK and all LP that I tested (most of them I think) it's generaly less stable and accuracy drops with increasing speed, so when using as navigation in a car, it quite often throws you in another street, starts re-calculating the route and confuse you as hell. I'm using HERE and Waze + GPS test, it behaves the same in all these apps.

In GPS Test, when you stand still you can see accuracy about 3-5 meters. When you accelerate, you can see satellite reception drop (a lot on LP, not so much on KK) and GPS accuracy drops to 20-25 meters in the city, about 50 meters on highway.

On (older) KK the accuracy holds on 3-4 meters stable.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AndyC76:
Hi all

I'm starting to experience GPS issues also, its odd as it just happens in ONE area (a junction for entry onto the motorway) - everyday without fail.

GPS is set to "Device Only"

Stock KK S3SW 20150314-141844 no modifications (apart from applying stage fright fix)

I'm only using waze - I'll try tomorrow with Google Maps to see if it happens with that.

I can understand why it went a bit funny today (as the weather is very cloudy and rainy), it also strays on clear and sunny days... only at that one location.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] tool88:
That's what I kinda thought but thank for confirming my suspicions. Had a copy on SD card and on the phone so I gues I'll put the SD on computer and try another app for the phone.

Hi [MENTION=430124]superdragon[/MENTION]tpt.

I´m with KK. GPS works well on navigation like Tomtom or sygic. But when using sports tracker or endomondo or any other app the tracking results are not accurate.

for instance, I have a ZTE V970 with your latest rom and comparing results the jiayu S3 are always wrong. My ZTE V967s also confirms the Zte V970 results and the same comparing with garmin.

yesterday my bike reports 29,50 kms, the same as ZTE V970. the climbing accumulate shows 750 meters up. again the same. But Jiayu give 32kms long and 1000 meters up.

I have tested with GPS state (that is included at your ZTE V970 rom) on both phones and it seems that both are ok, but at the end of the day S3 always record excess values...

I can give you screens shots if you want.

Thank you SuperdragonPt.

cheers

I have seen the almost exact same thing on an Allview V1 Viper (or some variant Viper i or something).

The spot was a bit larger and not so round, top right side.

My friend has no ideea why it appeared and he did not fix it.

I think either too mich internal heat or some sort of mechanical shock (too tight grip in pocket or something similar).
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
Thanks for the feedback, yeah the latest zte v970 kk build haves this issue fixed.

(but it's an older SoC, so it's not the same fix for this newer SoC and with 64arm LP)

Jiayu's GPS works fine and it's fast, but in needs fixs on Dalvik/art execution (for this case)

Tracking sports apps (endomodo, runkeeper, etc), wont report the distance/alt with precision.

Since i don't do sports :p (just virtual sports lol) i can't test this ...

Give me a few days to recompile some changes and i'll probably post an test.patch (for LP, im not going to kk source again ...)

Can't you just return the device, it should (must) have warranty ?

And no i never saw that issue, the only issue im aware of concerning screen, are some white dots (my case, when i got my replacement screen)

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Dior DNA:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62277915&postcount=5240

in short: "flashtool, firmware upgrade"

and, as always: nandroid backup to go other direction

beware: before (unlikely) nandroid recovery, to restore partition layout,

one first needs flashtool 'firmware upgrade' LL->KK too

(it is, of course, a downgrade)

Note that LP comes without gapps,

so you may want to flash LP custom recovery and gapps (plus supersu) from recovery.

The steps are also documented on needrom where the ROM is to be found.

Has anyone found any compass that works properly? I tried every compass in the store, every rom kitkat or lp, even the direction arrow in Google maps sucks every time.

Don't ask me if I calibrated the sensor in three axis. It's obvious yes.

What is wrong with this phone
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
Hi

There's no Official European (or American) Software version (i.e rom), "per se".

All the phones come from China, to the European resellers. (official Jiayu stores)

The official European Jiayu Stores, usually customize a bit, the phones rom, before selling in their stores, to their customers.

We just had annunced by [MENTION=3180835]arfae[/MENTION] from TF (with the Jiayu Spanish Store), Jiayu.es, that they are working on an new rom.

Other Stores like (Jiayu.de) should also be working on rom development...

can't say much about this...

but, there's some issues with this:

- Neither TF (Jiayu.es), or Jiayu.de (or any other official Jiayu store/representative) can't publish their roms here at xda (it's an shame)

(so i really don't understand why did [MENTION=3180835]arfae[/MENTION] annunced that rom here ...) other than free advertising to Jiayu.es ...

For the very simple reason we all know, there's no GPL compliance. :/

If anyone published any rom with an unofficial /modified kernel here, without proper kernel source , the thread will be closed, and the member(s) banned (if continuing violation of GPL source)

We all remmember what happen with both Jiayu.es / Jiayu.de unofficial KK kernel(s) being spoken here/ users posting outside download links, don't we?

We almost lost this thread, and the thread was locked for several days ...

Also, and becouse both stores work independently to gain more customers (speaking about Jiayu.es and Jiayu.de), as, they seem to be the only stores that actually do, development

(have the source code, and do builds)

They don't work together, they don't share their work, since they both need the revenues (and i can undertsand that, of course), they are

independent from each other

.

So i actually can't see, how on earth, will the TF rom be published here on xda (or any other store rom build) ?

The very few other persons, with proper acess, are on the same boat ...

This is actually the only key factor, for the criple device development ...

I've been thinking, and WHAT IF, someone i know ....publish an CyanogenMOD rom here at xda?

- That person would be for instance, forced to use the stock kernel (can't published their source)

- In adition to that, that person would need to published the device tree and vendor, it's an nightmare, really.

Don't want to disrespect any of the Jiayu Stores, i know it's really not their fault.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] sirdickens:
I also have problems with compass. I've started to think it is either faulty sensor or software/kernel/ROM problem.

I alao think this is root of problem with walking/running/bicycle softwares, as people usimf those mention "jumping" around on map.

[MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION] mentioned he will look into code to find error. I suggest doing same for compass ;)

Oh, and maybe yesterday or day before I tried this compass app and then it seemed to "work" there was no jumping around like other, nor monotone drifting even when the phone was still, but it didnt show north (like 3 other phones standing next to s3 did!) and if i rotated pbone for lets say 3° it would rotate compass for almost 10°, and this way, with making 200° compass would make a full circle...

Anyways, I hope someone will help with this, cause I'e been asking people since March to help me :/

Cheers,

Bruno
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
well

i can confirm, that compass do have some issues.(running a LP based rom ...)

It's not hardware related...

I just don't remember how was the compass on KK builds?

(if anyone is running KK, please give feedback about this)

it often jumps from (let's say) 100º to 165/170º-

It's not a problem for me, since i really don't use it much, just for testing Satts reception, both my cars have navigation systems so...

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] atsimeri:
compass doesn't work properly nor in kitkat or lollipop either. Its the base problem for navigation software problems. the position accuracy is generally good BUT navigation softwares use a combination of gps data, compass and gyroscope to determine the direction you're moving. If the compass is faulty then the direction arrow is wrong and usually everything messes up.

superdragonpt, erfae is a member from TF Android Developers, not from Jiayu.es, and TF is independent from Jiayu.es, so, I think that he (and the team, in general) could anounce and publish their ROMs.
