Hi.

After reboot, work good for short time until reboot.

Please help me. Sorry for my bad english.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] elkosith:
Which ROM is it?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ionutz72:

I think this is.

Can disable upper microphone and work only bottom microphone in mtk tools?

Bug with WAZE

Is anybody using WAZE for navigating?

I just installed and found that there is a big problem with the frames display during navigation.

There is a lot of distortion and out of sync frames.

Every thing else, sound and menus are OK.

Attached is the bogus display.

According to me, this new rom from 23-3 is not so smooth as the original one from 5-feb.

I cleared already a couple of times the cache and dalvik but there is not so much difference. Will check it a couple of days, otherwise going back to the rom of 5-feb

Anyone else has the same feeling?

Hi guys,

I'm at my wits end with my S3 3GB delivered last week after waiting so long. The audio has this really loud annoying crackly sound, making it useless for calls because all the person hears is hissing and crackling. I can't flash anything onto this phone because the drivers won't install into the pc and the OTA update 20150319 didn't solve the problem either. customer support at Jiayu just keep repeating to me there will be an update on the website, but so far nothing. :( Can anyone help?

Ps. I'm a noob but I'm ok with tutorials and step by step instructions! :)

What your problem?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] gwaldo:
That's happening on mine also.

I doubt it's a 64bit issue as the rom is 32bit.

Regardless, I don't use waze because it's GPS nav is very very very bad!

I guess it's useful if you know where you are going:eek:

Does this look like normal charging?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] simaoaguia:
i just patched that update and its the same the volume is still low, if i'm on a noisy environment ( not like a music show or anything just a normal open space) i'm having trouble hearing the other side.

Check earpiece for dirt. My friend had that problem.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] simaoaguia:
it is kind of grey and i think it should have a net right?

how did he clean it?

thanks.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] simaoaguia:
well its the same, and i just realized that now i can't change the values on engineering mode :(

will the next update enable this ?

will it have some kind of equalizer? or booster?

its not like its terrible low but take Moto E its a lot better more bass and louder.

when i was on kitkat this was perfect.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] HypoTurtle:
They have mentioned that they prefer to deal just with what they can compile from source, there are third-party sound engines Dolby/Maxx Audio etc. that you can add to get better bass etc.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] simaoaguia:
Thabks but thats somehting im not confortable with.

I just cant believe that im the only one with this issue.

Everyone that uses my phone says it has low volume. I just say this becaus i could actualy have a talk on the subway while on kitkat, and now i cant.

This is why i think its not hardware related.

Thabks anyway
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
We did increased the sound volumes (idk in what beta build... ), the "stock" in-call volume was very low (i could barely receive a call, if i where on the street ...)

We can still increase the volumes a bit more. (in-call/ speaker, etc)

currently it's ~1 / 3 . edit: i meant 2/3

For better "bass" just flash / choose one of the (many) sound engines (check on xda)

Maxx / SRS / Dolby, etc, etc.

;)

cheers
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] simaoaguia:
Im on beta 10.

Thanks,

Can i reverte the áudio patch by reflashing beta 10?

You mean that Its still possible to go 2/3 ? :)

That would be great.

Any ideas on why i cant change engineering values? And would it make a diference? Because i never really noticed any big changes.

Thanks again
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
Sorry i meant currently it's at 2/3, we can increase more 1/3 (aprox)

Flash the stock (any of the betas) rom, test the sound calls, then, flash Jiayu's DE rom --> you'll see the difference

If you make a lot of calls (like i do), you'll see it ;)

cheers

I have installed the rc1 bit still cant change the MTK engineering values for áudio.

Any ideas how to change this?

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] simaoaguia:

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] shiggins9:
[/COLOR]Same problem here. My mic wasn't a little quiet, I would need it about 100X louder. I'm awaiting a repair or exchange from Jiayu but I'll let you guys know what they say. I have another Jiayu S3 that works great. Both had same RC1 rom too. The only difference is that the 2GB has no problem and the 3GB had the mic problem.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] g.andi:
This happens on mine after flashing the sound-set.zip. I could enter any value i want in engeneer mode, it always turned back to 128. On the next update i did not flash the audiopatch anymore and now i can change the values again.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
Becouse that "soundset" is just some nvram configs from the old KitKat.

That's why you cant change volume on MTK Engineer Menu now (makes total sense ...),

MTK Menu is just a "interface" to customize some NVRAM configs at userlevel ...

(e.g.: sound volumes)

Currently building some "cookies"... on my build machine ... lets see ;)

Anyone please help....

I flashed Lolipop RC1 for the first time. Upgraded from kitkat, never used a lolipop rom before.

As expected, my modem is messed up. Very poor 3g Data.

I flashed Modem 5.1 v39p8 + BT + 4g.zip but no real improvement.

1. Should I try KK modem? Will it damage hardware?

2. If I use MTK En. mode and disable useless frequencies, will it help? (I don't need 4g at all).

3. Any other measures that can help.

Thanks in advance.

Hello

I have just put a tempered glass on my S3 (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Jiay...Film-for-Jiayu-S3-Smartphone/32377818325.html).

It fits well the phone,

I have one issue with the back touch button, it is rarely working.

The rest of the screen is fine.

Is there a way to increase the sensitivity of the screen? of a portion of the screen?

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
i don't think it makes any difference to our phone as the charge current on our phone is limited to 1000 mAh, so whatever charger you use you will get the same current as the original one. Plus for that price its too expensive. you can get the same type at any mobile shop for much less.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
Guy any battery claiming to have a bigger capacity than our, would not to fit in the device with the same back cover. At least a 3600mAh one, should be way thicker than our battery, if the capacity was true they would sell a thick back cover aside it.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
no necessarily, plus the battery 3600 mAh battery is a bit tighter in phone than the original one. plus the battery is taking the same if not more time to charge, had it been smaller it would have charged faster than the original, but then again still too early to tell if the batter is a real or a fake, but till now i haven't seen the battery battery drop after rebooting,as mentioned by someone

2 observations about battery..

1) after installing xtreme 1.3 update, battery drop reduced from 20%- 0% to 12% - 0%. So i left the battery fully discharged and then charge it to 9%. I unplugged the charger and i use the phone till the battery drop to 1%. Then i switched off the phone and rebooted. I plug the charger and left it fully charge.. After that no battery drop. This proccedure is like doing battery calibration..

2) I buy a second cable (be carefull to be 22 or 24awg so as to be capable of transfer more current). I measure the current of my stock cable at 400mA and the current of new cable at 900mA. So if you face problems with slow charging just change the cable!!!

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] nagyra:
Originally the Jiayu S3 made by 2 version. S3A (3GB RAM, NFC) and S2B(2GB RAM, no NFC). But I saw on Pandawill there will be another, cheaper version, the Jiayu S3+. The difference (from the Pandawill's description) is S3+ will have the slower MT6753, not the original MT6752.

BUT in the Pandawill website (it's on the bottom if the post) we can read the S3+ will come with Android 5.1, but the screenshots are from Android 4.4.4 (I can recognize it from the battery icon and from the play/pause Smart Wake). And if I know right the MT6753 didn't get the support for the 4.4.4 from Meditek. So very interesting...

Is this a standard cost for a new ROM from developers?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] DerTeufel1980:
What are you talking about???

We are shipping our devices with rc1 pre installed now.

Customers who already bought the device earlier can send the device to us and get it updated for free, if they don't want to update the software themselves.

Other people need to pay for update service, if they don't want to update themselves.

Are you also going to supermarket and asking for free food, because the apples in your garden are for free?...

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] TommeleTBone:
....that all does not mean you stop community based development..., right?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] mrgbuzz:
What am I talking about? I asked a simple question.

Not once through this thread have I seen a price mentioned for installation of a ROM- yes I have seen paypal link in yours and other signatures to donate for your services which I am aware development takes time and effort and nothing is for free. so therefore I asked a question for which I was unsure.

Thank you for your prompt reply.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
It's very simple, if one didn't bought the jiayu from their store, and wishes to have RC1 or future jy.de rom. it needs to pay for the service *software update* .

--> it's a *service, since it involves man labour

People that bought the device elsewhere, and wishes to have the RC1/ jy.de rom, needs to pay for the service, since, they are not clients of the store

The rom is here for everyone in the public, but, keep in mind, not everyone wants/know how to download a rom, and flash it.

Also what the news said, is that RC1 is now being shipped, pre-installed.

Older jy.de customers, that don't know how to install the rom, can go to the store for a *free software update.

cheers

You know it better than me where to find it,may be if you look in your and your friends cookie machine ;)

P.S : Its your work, do whatever you want to do with it man, seems only logical to give to jiayu.de customers as this is a value added service provided by the dealer not the manufacturer, jiayu.de has to earn in order to survive, so its all upto jiayu.de what they want and what they dont want to do with the Rom.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Rimasi89:
So, the RC1 5.1.1 in here developed by you (all) is the same that's mentioned by jiayu.de wich we (buyers from other stores) have to pay 35€?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] toncheee:
No, You get it wrong. You don't have to pay if you flash ROM yourself. But if you want that guys from JIAYU.DE to do it for you on your device, than you have to pay for their service.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] uptowner:
so let me get this right this is free ota service for jiayu de customers or paid ota service for non jiayu de customers but if you can or want to flash the rom yourself its still free ,if so :cool:

Bought my S3 on the official store in Italy, damn didnt know before that jiayu.de is so active in support.

LoL?

Fantastic news to A brand that want to grow up on market... In the begining they promese Android 5.1, only to sell units... Past 10months, and we only can see paid Lollipop Test, with problems in camera, modem and battery... I never paid for android update, in other smartphones that i had(and without problems) ...

Why exists OTA service in stock rom? For nothing...
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
Actually he is right and you got it wrong,it means that if you want to have future updates you need to be either a jiayu.de customer or need to pay 35€.

I am not against what they intend to do with their rom, its their rom, they do whatever they want to do with it,

But if that had been the case they should not have shared the ROM with the community for free, they should have taken the money from start and that would have been logical as well ethical, but now after using all the xda members as beta testers and bug finders they will now charge money for the finished product. SmH

Its like someone giving you a free ride in a boat and at the middle of the river asking you for money if you want to cross the river. Asking the money before jumping on the boat is right but asking money half way is absolutely wrong.

But then again i may be wrong, its my opinion and my intentions are not to accuse or hurt someone.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
No Tonchee is right.

The service is offered for non Jiayu.de buyers, and it consists in taking the device or sending to jiayu.de then they will update it for you.

This is just for people who don't want to try a flashing process, the updates will still come freely for users that want to flash it by their own '-'
