Which rom is better when using the camera?

I've read that the latest kitkat version has better camera quality than the lollipop beta 10...

Also that the battery indicator is more accurate, wifi signal is more stable as well as bluetooth.

Is there anything beside its a new version (lollipop) I should use beta10 over the kitkat version that sounds really good?? :)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Pirex69:
I´m with B10 and I´m really very happy
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] prefor:
How is the camera?

And also do you still have the 15% battery drop?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Pirex69:
No battery drop, and I´m quite happy with camera. At least for my daily use :)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Palmken:
Will it be a good day today? I'm really looking forward to the next version :) I'm having some apps which fail to run on beta 10 I'm not sure if its a beta problem or a 64bit problem but still looking forward to the new version... Maybe in a few hours?

Hello all,

been lurking this thread for a while. Amazing job by the developers in keeping this device up-to-date and fixing all the issues.

I do however have an issue that's happens in every ROM - both Kitkat and Lollipop I've used:

I've disabled using mobile data - don't need it - yet (apparently) randomly "android os" will use mobile data - just a small amount (8.25KB) that's enough to be charged (I'm on a pre-paid plan).

Have anyone else had the same issue?

Thanks, I've searched and indeed other people had the same issue.

Really bizarre, not sure if it's a bug or on purpose - looking at the engineering settings, it's connecting to supl.google.com.

Really sucks if the only workaround is using a firewall.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] aksika:
For me the major difference is voice quality on the B side during a voice call. With factory KK 03.14 the phone was a crap in regards of voice quality... I had to reboot it often for the other party to understand me, I was very dissapointed. After upgrading to KK 05.07 and doing some mic adjustments in engineering mode it was okay however still in every 2 weeks I got complains of huge echo on the other side then I knew it is time to reboot.

I'm on LP Beta10 for a week now, so far the voice quality is great even on my side the clarity is improved - I did not notice it before but since the upgrade it is noticeable better. LP Beta10 for me it is very stable and I have much better battery life then I had on KK

Oh and another improvement is the stagefright fix... I know it can be fixed under KK but then why not to go for LP
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] frulex:
You probably had the upper mic issue when main mic got switched off after video recording. I'm very pleased with KK 03-14, no such sound issues so still waiting to upgrade to LP.

So there is no reason to go back to kitkat? :)

One last question though, since I'm going to buy this phone, how is the battery? For how long can I use the phone until the battery goes from 100% to 0%?

I know that it doesn't have fast charge (which is a bummer) but how long does it also take to recharge the phone from 0% to 100%? :)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] TommeleTBone:
19hrs depending on usage,7-8hrs chargetime, b10
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Plexcon:
What@TommeleTBone said. + You could always just buy an extra battery which costs ~20$ that you can take with you.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] toncheee:
charging time never lore than 3,5 hours. But I never used charger nor cable suplied by jiayu. I'm using 5+ years old HTC charger (1A max current) and cable :)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] prefor:
Wait, as in 7 hours minimum? :eek:

I know that it doesn't have fast charge feature, but really 7 hours? :(

I thought it max 4 hours, and even that is a lot.

I already have Xiaomi power bank, I don't want to take a extra battery with me wherever I go :(

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Pirex69:
4 hours to get 100%?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] frulex:
Here are my last 5 days charging time (on KK with original Jiayu charger and cable):

1) 39-100% = 3:10

2) 42-100% = 3:00

3) 27-100% = 3:25

4) 35-100% = 2:50

5) 32-100% = 3:10

So, 7 hours is really too much, although once or twice in last few months I had charging that lasted longer, like 6 or 7 hours.

Why Xtreme Rom home,back lights on phone not as bright as on the Jiayu.de Rom

Hi Guys. Why I tried the extreme rom the 3 nav lights - home,back touch lights at the bottom of the phone is not as bright as it is when I am on the Jiayu.de rom beta 10.

Why the photos of LG G3, and Huawei P8, are much better than Jiayu S3, if both have the same sensor Sony IMX214? Its only because software and firmware? If is it, its possible to Jiayu have same quality of LG G3 and Huawei P8?

The quality of photos is better in android 5.1 jiayu.de or xtreme rom's, or in original kitkat rom?

Tks
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] sirdickens:
KitKat has best rear camera quality (in both video and photo).

While jiayu.de and xtreme have comparable to each other in good lighting conditions, in bad lighting jiayu de has advantage. Also, in both jiayu de and xtrm HDR is unusable or very bad.

But, jiayu de has best ever front camera (way better then kk or xtrm).

Oh yeah, regarding comparison to LG G3. LG has way better software (especially drivers I guess) and has different lenses, even though it has same sensor. But I can tell you that it doesn't have much better photos then our S3 (friend sitting next to me has G3 and I have already made some comparison). And you cannot compare cameras with same sensors anyway, it should be like that, but camera can be tweaked much, especially in software department. (Most phones from last two years that have 13Mpix got Sony IMX214 sensor, but not all have good lenses and software developers).

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] sikke1:
This is why some people prefer KitKat modem. In all Jiayu S3 Lollipop releases the modem has broken 900Mhz 3G. This will also result lesser voice quality in areas where 2100Mhz 3G in unavailable eaven when data is transferring to 800Mhz band20 4G when call is incoming phone will revert to 2G networks. As 4G networks are not for voice calls.

You do not suffer broken Lollipop modem if you spend your time in areas with good reception. Also Lollipop modem will result in situations where you have no reception at all constantly. Lollipop modem is broken for 900Mhz 3G.

These pictures are taken in location where only 3G 900Mhz + 2G networks are available. When back in town urban area phone will work fine for 4G networks and 2100Mhz 3G.

Both phones have same operator sim-card and 4G active, but no 4G coverage is available.

Very very happy at results with the KitKat modem + Lollipop beta10

Xtreem vs DevilDragon

Hi, this is my honest opinion, don't want to offend anybody nor i'm underestimating hard work of the developers. .. . I installed xtreem rom for the first time, update it to 1.3 version first impression was that is not that polished and fluid like jiayu.de rom. The call quality was very bad(don't know was it because of the second mike or something else but for 7h and 10 calls none was ok. The camera also is worst , the video is better but pictures IMO was worst and the HDR mode on both roms doesn't work. Funny thing is that istaling Xtreem rom broke the charging of my phone it just start charging ridiculously slow.. and the screen became very cold (low color temperature) whit it... Now i'm back on beta 10 with kernel 3.10.90 but the screen is still very cold(even when i try to fix it with miravision) and the charging is twice slower than it was... If someone has opinion about the problem will be glad to here it(didn't dirty flash).!

P. S Attached screen shot on wite background to see if you can how blueish it is.

1- xtreme rom has best camera (photo+video) . better than kitkat and jiayu.de . just had a few problems on camera app.

if jiayu.de do nothing for camera and battery, i will back to xtreme rom ;)

2- I saw better quality with IMX214 on other phones (even cheap phones with mtk6752 ) . jiayu camera is on of worst with IMX214.

but G3 (IMX135) and P8 (IMX278) doesn't have IMX214 :D

Yes and I can confirm 2100mhz 3G is working fine. Its easy to confirm with 3G only sim-card with no data service, so operator wont let it to go 4G for no reason. When going out of town phone drops to 2G with Lollipop modem. With KitKat (modem) you get solid 3G all the time.

Maybe this cannot be fixed before mediatek fixes the modem, or so.... I dont know. But I have several phones so willing to privately beta test anything, eaven with the risk of breaking hardware. I do not care.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] sikke1:
Just to confirm tomorrow I hopefully can present screenshots where same phones sit at 4G & 3G same time. With same setup.

The phone with KitKat modem will go to 4G when 800Mhz is available.

The phone with Lollipop modem will go to 3G because it finds City 2100Mhz, it can hear 800Mhz 4G fine with Lollipop modem but operator wont let it there for no reason.

With that I can verify 2100Mhz working on both modems.

Field tests and some awesome MS Paint artworks with all the typos included.

To start for all people to know. Operators do not transfer voice calls in 4G networks.... yet!

http://www.4g.co.uk/what-is-volte/

Anyone who currently uses 4G could also find their battery life increased with VoLTE, as right now whenever you make or receive a call your phone has to switch from 4G to 2G or 3G, since 4G calls aren’t supported (other than on Three Super-Voice) and then once the call is finished it switches back again. All that switching, plus the need to search for a different signal each time, can give the battery a significant hit.

So your Jiayu S3 will drop to 3G or 2G technology when calls happen. Because Lollipop modem is broken in 3G 900Mhz.... i assume...based on testings. Below situations happen.

With 4G simcard from operator that uses 900Mhz 3G networks + Lollipop modem, result is some funky 4G --> 2G networking swapping and phone will get stuck quite alot with no reception at all. Been there done that... pissed me off really badly when phone spends more time trying to find reception and pumping between 4G + 2G.

This will affect only people who need 900Mhz 3G and have carrier who uses it with 4G network. Your phone hangs in 4G network for internet + data. But when phonecalls arrive it goes to real funky network swapping and ends up to 2G. This will happen in situations where available operator bands are. 4G 800Mhz + 3G 900Mhz + 2G 900Mhz. Yes 3G+2G are both 900Mhz, difference is the technology.

Please prove me wrong if I have missed anything. But I eaven did some angry talks with operator technical guys this summer.... blaming them for killing 3G 900Mhz networks while they expand 800Mhz 4G. It turned out to be the Jiayu Lollipop beta modem.... ooops i said!

Jiayu S3 antennas are awesome there is no signal reception issues!!! It is better than some branded phones.

But since lollipop the JY-S3 is doing some real funky dancing between bands and this will result in no reception situations.
