have been using this phone from past 40 days, haven't faced any of the issues that you mentioned, but i am on the latest version, even on the first version hadn't encountered these problems. plus jaiyu has fixed most of the bugs with the latest firmware.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] TotallydubbedHD:
I see - so I'll flash a new rom - can you provide a none-needed to login page where I can download the latest ROM?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
here you go, you will also need to flash google apps

this one for Flashtool

https://yadi.sk/d/lzj-LfmOg9KeF

thsi one if you want to flash through Recovery

https://yadi.sk/d/21JgCKI3g8Guc

P.S : they are both for 3GB version. thanks
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] toncheee:
I had problems with microphone echo too.

I tested disabling phone call noise reduction, and echo is not present any more.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] TotallydubbedHD:
which one out of the three should I flash?

As for GAPPS - is there a link for that?

Thanks btw!
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
s3 is for the 2gb version s3s for 3gb version, download the version which you have.

Link for Gapps

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] TotallydubbedHD:
haha a pro noob I am :D!

Completely missed that part bro - thanks!

Does the ROM do a full wipe? As I would want to wipe everything.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] francescospina22:
Last time that i was in this threads was possible to talk about modding of ours S3, but now is not possible. Is there a threads where is possible to talk about modding? Because i lost last pages.:D
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
if you flash throgh flashtool and select format then yes it will wipe everything including your internal memory, including your IMEI, but thats not a problem, you can your IMEI easily back by *#4634#.

My suggestion would be to download the rom from the second link which can be flashed through recovery, and wipe whatever you want in the recovery, its more safe.

---------- Post added at 02:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

what do you want to mod?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] TotallydubbedHD:
second link?

I'm getting confused now :/
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] francescospina22:
Jiayu S3. If i'm talking about that phone i want to know that.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
I think what adilrenzu means is what ASPECT of the Jiayu S3 do you want to mod :)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
https://yadi.sk/d/21JgCKI3g8Guc

download this and flash through recovery .

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ----------

simple things can be made so complicated
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] francescospina22:
All is possible to modify in that phone, change the ROM, change the Kernel etc. to improve the performance. :p
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] TotallydubbedHD:
thanks buddy - also not sure if I've got recovery - is there a default one that comes with the S3?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
I'm on the ROM dated 20150314 and have experienced the same joint Wi-Fi and Bluetooth disconnections on a number of occasions. Happens about once a week. Not a huge problem for me though, as both icons disappear (I presume as the services are being restarted) and then reappear after only a few seconds and everything is fine once again! Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I have both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on at the same time, all the time? This issue might well be fixed in a new ROM update, but I'll probably just live with it until LP is released.

I don't use Google Maps or Dolphin, so can't comment on those issues I'm afraid.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] TotallydubbedHD:
thanks for letting me know!

Hmmm good point - only noticed it when both wifi and bluetooth are on together too!

Well spotted bud!

I'll be flashing over the ROM linked previously (20150411) and report back with results!
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
Cool! Be interesting to see if the update fixes it. Best of luck with the flashing (sounds dodge!)! :) :good:
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
you need to have custom recovery to flash the rom, download the recovery image from the link below and flash it through Sp tools or [ROOT] Rashr -Flash Tool from the play store

https://www.dropbox.com/s/1ez10h04fr5jzgd/TWRP 2.8.6.0.zip?dl=0
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] TotallydubbedHD:
is there a comprehensive guide to all of this - seems like a lot of loose ends lol
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] M Junaid:
Links have been provided already... So

1. Install/flash custom recovery

2. Flash the custom rom using custom recovery

3. Install GAPPS if needed using custom recovery
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
its not that difficult, here is what you need to do

1. download both the files A. the Rom B the Recovery

2. extract the recovery you will get recovery.img, put it on the sd card, also put the rom on the sd card

3. download #root Rashr from play store

4. open Rashr once installed , you will see option Recovery flash recovery , click it, and select the recovery.img which you extracted.

5. after it installs it will ask you to boot into recovery, click yes

6. now you will be in the TWRP recovery, select wipe, then advance wipe, tick all the options except internal and external storage,

7. once done go back and select install, choose the rom zip, and wait till its done. reboot or it will automatically reboot

8. congrats you have flashed the new rom successfully.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Sta'ko:
I have never flash a Rom on this phone and the IMEI is all right, probably is a bug in the stock rom and will be fixed in the next OTA.. Anybody here somting about the OTA for the world Vision from s3w20150325 basic to the next..?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
Yeah guys, We really need a Thread on XDA for our device. I know for some guys here and for me is always a pleasure to help others to find solutions for their problems, but this would be way more easy for users if we had a thread. Not only to solute problems, but also to teach things about the phone, as how to flash new updates, when OTA doesn't want to work. And I hope very soon we will have good original development for the device.

We can't stop to ask, new user of Jiayu S3? Ask for a thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1660354&page=1764

I will ask to s7yler to add this on first page.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] francescospina22:
Exist an aswer or not for the my question? Because i'm much interested on the modding, but i don't find that thread. Thanks. :D
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
There are a lot of modifications on needrom, so, the simple answer to your question is : yes.

However, the more complex answer is that, to change source code, one, of course, needs access to it, but, S3 mediatek + jaiyu source is not available to everybody. Luckily, if I understand well, some people (jaiyu employees?) do have access and are permitted to build kernel/rom with source code modifications.

So the real answer is somewhere in between yes and no.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] francescospina22:
I want to know if there is a thread dedicated to the modding of ours device. I know that this device can be modded but I didn't find the thread. Thanks. :thumbup:
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
There is no dedicated XDA JY-S3S modding thread AFAIK. Perhaps you can search harder than myself and find one. Every mod on needrom however has its own thread. You can ask there. But it is not one single dedicated thread as you hope for.

There also exist Spanish, Chinese and Russian (and perhaps more) fora for the JY-S3S, but, I cannot say much about those in terms of modding content as I do not understand these languages.

Coming from a Nexus 5.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
Wrong download agent, change the download agent in the first line above the line where you choose scatter file, the file name is something like mtk_allinone_da.bin

As i can see you hv put a preloader file instead of a download agent file.

Download this and use this in the first line of the sptool not preloader venzoo

work great .. update done

many thanks

but now i dont see IMEI is this normal ?

edit

flash rom again and imei is back
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] TotallydubbedHD:
The point wasn't it being difficult - it's about none experienced users, that might buy it after watching my review, needing to know how to flash it, where to flash it from and the risks of doing so.

In other words, someone would have to goolge that, look it up on a thread - rather than easily see it written on a guide somewhere.

Point is - out the box the phone isn't stable and it seems like I'll need to flash it to make it stable - this would ALSO be the case for ANYONE buying the phone.

As a reviewer, you have to think not about yourself, but also others that might buy it.

I appreciate the replies though, will make my piece of mind for sure :)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] buby93:
Hi guys, I'm using this phone for 3 weeks and now I changed home. I have a new WiFi network and I'm experiencing some problems with it. For example when I am connected to the WiFi I can't send images in whatsapp or the device doesn't load images on Facebook. When I switch off the WiFi the images load and on whatsapp they are delivered. Maybe there is some problem with WiFi bands? Should it be possible?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ProTechShark:
I don't think that wifi bands would ever be a problem. Are these things blocked on your router?

Are you on the latest version of the jiayu s3 firmware? A lot of bugs have got fixed recently.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] TotallydubbedHD:
I've experienced this too...fb/IG/vine posts don't load for some reason - until I reboot/restart wifi...

Not to do with my router - it's a DD-WRT unlocked TP Link - never happened on any other device before (incl cheap £30 chinese tablets)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] buby93:
I'm not on the latest firmware because the device tell me I'm on the latest version...
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] andreandrea:
rom available for apps in jiayu s3 advanced
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] DerTeufel1980:
That's not the case if you buy it from jiayu.de, as we flash every phone with latest version (currently 041115 s3sw - with gapps) before shipping it.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] teamh:
Do you have download link for s3sw 041115? On needrom only s3s 041115. I could flash gapps but then I have problem with google calendar (always force closed). thank you.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Nutsonfire:
Hi guys,

What is the final word on the screen? I got a normal screen protector and tempered glass protector with mine but I have not installed them yet.

So does the screen scratch easily as some people say or doesnt it?

Thanks!
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] TotallydubbedHD:
that might be the case for you or your company - however you can't assume everyone will buy it from that site.

Just to also let you know mine was shipped out before the 11th of april - meaning mine was ALSO flashed to the latest - clearly the "latest" at the time wasn't stable.

My point still stands.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Nutsonfire:
In my case I got the phone with the 0314 firmware and it seems to work pretty well out of the box. I think if you want to be picky then you can buy phones which cost 2-3 times as much as this one and have less issues, but still issues.

We are far from chinese products from a couple of years ago that had so much bugs they were borderline unusable.

If my experience holds up with this phone, I will only buy "chinese" phones from now on.

In any case these chinese brands phones are only for more savvy customers. Normal people will keep buying regular brands from regular outlets. Small bugs is not what is holding back the sales of these products.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] TotallydubbedHD:
I wouldn't be so sure bro - people are looking at deals more often - I mean look at the OnePlus, sure it's popular but it started from somewhere.

I agree with you, my mum would go into a shop type thing - but anyone who is more present online would and can have the chance to buy this phone. I personally see it as a bit of a risk (as you said with problems) - however it's such a good buy that it makes it affordable for a large portion of people.

---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------

for my 2-3 weeks of daily usage, I can't see this screen being scratched easily.

It is a fingerprint magnet, but other than that seems really durable.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Nutsonfire:
Oneplus costed a lot more and people are still complaining about touch issues and yellow screens definitely worse deal breakers in my opinion than some rare wifi connections and video sharpness and whatnot issues.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] TotallydubbedHD:
well the biggest problem with OnePlus, personally - was there ROM.

People didn't like the constant updates, especially those that broke things.

Move aps to SD card

Hi forum- Bros,

It is pretty annoying that KiKat does not support Move2SD (hope LP will!!). Has any of U tried SDFix from Google Play to solve this problem? Does it work with our device at all? Experiences?

THX for any reactions,

Zuz
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] freemind11:
Some people still insist that the screen must not be a Gorilla Glass.

Is it true? How can we be sure?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] DerTeufel1980:
I am not assuming that. But I assume, that if one is buying it from one of the official stores, you would not just receive a link to needrom.

Obviously I can just speak for our shop, and if one had bought it from our shop, and in case you would not have received our ota to 11/04 I would create a flashable zip to write system.img and other related files to the proper partitions by using dd command.

I am sure if you buy it in Spain or Italy, you'll get similar support.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kommando:
The total memory of the phone is a single partition, so no real need for moving apps to SD card. Compared to my old Goophone N3+ I have loads more apps loaded and still have loads of memory left and that's with apps which have data of Gb for offline maps and translations.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] TotallydubbedHD:
Well what can I say - every reseller is different, which still goes to show about my point of "if there's a guide on how to do all of this" - users that might not know, could have problems and would need to know how to get them fixed - or even more so, in my review I should mention these things as they are definitely disadvantages of buying the S3.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] zuzmara:
Prog data on SD card

I see. But how about internal program data like music library (eg. Poweramp) or photo gallery or maps for a GPS navigator?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] DerTeufel1980:
That's the point: disadvantage of buying the device... Instead of telling people about issues when bought from some... stores in China, you should advise them to buy it from an official store.

There's a reason why the shops in Poland, Spain, Italy and ours in Germany are listed on the official website.

It's a disadvantage of the shop, not the device itself
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ivivdim:
If you already have a tempered glass, just install it and don't wait to see if the screen will scratch or not :p

It is very easy to install such a protector (no bubbles etc., just clean well in advance) and i think that tempered glass can help you in cases much more extreme than the simple scratching. Sensitivity of the screen is just like without it.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
there are plenty of guides available on the internet, or may be not, but the idea here is that not all users are comfortable with manual flashing of the device, so companies don't provide it and in turn they do have an OTA option which suits every users regardless of his/her knowledge about the flashing procedures.

Plus no phone comes 100% bug free, be it Samsung or any other Chinese manufacturer. in time they push out OTA's to fix the bugs.

Now you blaming Jiayu for not posting the procedure for manually flashing Roms (which by the way is never recommended by the manufacturer) is asking way too much.

also i agree with [MENTION=4196889]DerTeufel1980[/MENTION] that an authorized store is bound to give you more support after sales and probably out of the box latest firmware, if not that they will surely provide you with the procedure to update your phone. cheers
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
As you obviously have access to this latest S3SW firmware, care to share a download link with the community please? The latest version available online (that I can find anyway) for the S3SW is 'S3SW 20150314-141844' - thanks in advance! :good:

---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

SDFix is not meant to support Move2SD for apps, but rather to allow apps to write to external SD.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Sta'ko:
I used the phone without protection almost a month and didn't scratch it. I believe that its with some protection but i put tempered glass anyway and with the original back protector looks and feel great. The back is made to be with temmperet glass there is room on the sites for prottector(buy original accessories though).
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] zuzmara:
Thanks! Does this mean that installation of SDFix is by all means necessary even for using Link2SD Pro to link data on SD to an apk or an e-book reader to read book from SD?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Merwenus:
When I try to upgrade the FW I get this errror:

Of course the phone is not working, not even charging. Phone restarted way too much (10+ a day), so I tried a few OFFICIAL roms from needrom, and when I wanted to go back to the original 0213 I got this error. Switched the Recovery file with this recovery.

The phone is under RMA, but I want to know what happened and how can I avoid it next time. :)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Nutsonfire:
Just installed the 0411 firmware. God I'm enjoying tinkering with this thing! Had the Nexus 5 for to long lol
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
Plug in the phone only after you press the download button.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ProTechShark:
Is that really a brick inducing error? What happens right after pressing the download button that the phone can't be connected for?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Merwenus:
It can connect to the phone, it formats it (purple, green bar go up to 100%), when it is comming to downloading, I get this error message, sometimes at 4% sometimes at 0%.

I press download button and plug it in my phone just after that. (also tried to remove battery, press download button, replace battery, plug in the cable)

edit.: Fun fact, 2 days without battery seems like fixed this issue, now it can flash the whole FW without error message. (same SP flash, same FW).

So the solution is simple, just remove battery for a long period (1 hour must be enough)

Install the CABs always to the Device (not Storage Card) and perform a Soft Reset after each installation.

1/ COMM MANAGER 1.3.6.0

With "Flight Mode", "Beam" (IR) and "IP Phone" (VoIP) buttons enabled!!!

IMPORTANT NOTE: "IP Phone" button doesn't runs well but we can show the button while waiting for a FIX. The rest of the buttons works like a charm.

The file "CommManagerRes_dll.CAB" is the CAB file used in the Trinity to change the backdrop of the Comm Manager to the HTC Green one. It re-sort some buttons too. It will be installed after the installation of the "XDA CommManager 1.3.6.0.cab" file.

2/ SIM MANAGER 5.30

The "Sort by name" function is fixed.

3/ HTC HOME PLUGIN 1.6.0.0

Today Plugin with direct access to:

- Battery CPL.

- Quick Screen Rotation.

- Comm Manager.

- Brightness CPL.​

5/ ADOBE READER LE 2.00.272329

Yes, the Trinity users got Adobe Reader LE while we got the ClearVue ****... Now it's our turn!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Remember to install it in the Device, not in the Storage Card. It takes about 2Mb of storage.

6/ GIF ANIMATION 1.10.1020.611

A GIF player to open GIF files. The open command of the File Explorer for GIF files is assigned to this program.

Looking for more stuff from the Trinity...

Any chance to get the today screen backdrop (tsk) from the HTCplug?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] VivaErBetis:
You can put anything you want in the HTC pluging using a Registry Editor and looking to the key "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug]" but you need to know:

- The executable file for the new function.

- The resource file from where take the icon to show (if there is not icon, the redirection runs but you can't see any image in the plugin).

I've only extracted the files from Trinity (and fixed a little problem with the Power executable name). The rest is up to you and chefs.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chymmylt:
Nice to have it in a cab so I don't have to keep hacking the registery myself :D Question - when I added IP Pone to mine, the button itself actually doesn't seem to work. It also adds a setting for IP phone under the settings listing which doesn't seem to do anything either. Does you cab effect fix either of these or am I missing files/reg entries?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] VivaErBetis:
The CAB is only the Trinity Comm Manager and the registry keys that are associated to it. Maybe, "IP Phone" doesn't run and that's the reason that it's deactivated by default. But, we can show the button while wait for a FIX... :D
