Not sure if anyone else noticed this but I find the camera on the latest LP build to be a bit slow.... trying to get a decent photo of my toddlers running around is nearly impossible, even using sports mode etc.

I tried the 'lenovo super camera' app and while it's not a massive improvement it seems to be faster and I actually managed to get some decent shots. You can find the apk easily with a Google search.

Well... I´m on KK and my compass is not perfect but 90% of the time is pointing N correctly :).

By the way, I saw at the Jiayu chine forum some pics of the satelites fixed and they have all, GPS (USA) Glonass (Russia) the chinese one that I dont remeber the name. Mine only shows GPS. What can it be?

So I bought my s3a from Jiayustore.com shipped directly to USA from China which I believe now to be a Chinese re-seller. Came loaded I believe with Jiayu OEM KK ROM. (BTW Jiayustore.com is an English language website that allowed me - only know English - to read about and purchase phone.) I put on the jiayu.es app, used the Jiayustore.com website file and instructions to get Google Play store, been doing OTAs to keep current and have TWRP recovery to do complete system backups. Know about and do the recovery switch-a-roo to make OTAs work. How the HECK would I get to LP and who's ROM - while still having OTA capability and support for LP now that it is installed? Man what a cluge.

Is there a Settings in KK to allow the red & green notification LEDs to light when I get emails and texts?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] mrgbuzz:
From memory, Its depending on the app being used??

I know Whatsapp gives the option to choose colour. Green appears for me on a direct message. Red shows as part of a group chat.

Mine are lighting by default on KK. While we're on the subject, can LED be set to blue color (now only seen red and green)?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] MatanZ:
No. There is no blue led (or at least, the kernel does not know of a blue led), only green and red. Furthermore, there seems to be no intensity control, so there are only three possible colours.

TWRP install

I followed your instructions to the letter and successfully downloaded the files. I unpacked each file into its own folder, connected to the website and ran Flash-Tool. I then clicked on the SCATTER options but all I got was 3 sub-folders: Codecs, Imageformat and SQLdrivers. No files showed.

As far as I can see in the example, there should be a .txt file, which there isn't. - Including the .zip file itself, there are 34 files and the 3 sub-folders mentioned above in the folder. Any suggestions, please?

(By the way, your English is excellent!)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Zakerr:
MT6752_Android_scatter.txt file stored in the archive TWRP_Recovery_JY-S3.rar. Just unzip this archive directly to the folder with the unpacked Flash Tool.

Or press the scatter loading and specify a file MT6752_Android_scatter.txt there where you unzipped it. As well click a cell in the table row recovery and specify a file recovery.img there where you unzipped it

more TWRP problems

Yes, that worked (after installing the driver), thanks. It proceeded ok and ended up with a large green "OK". I then disconnected and pressed vol-up+power, but...

It either does a normal boot or, sometimes, it comes up with the tiny menu as before. The TWRP menu does NOT appear.

I tried to repeat the procedure, with the same result.

Am I missing something?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Zakerr:
ok Now I checked. Really is not loaded into TWRP through Volume + and On. To enter the TWRP I use the app JiaYu.es. Do the following:

1. Settings – Security – superuser – enable (get root)

2. From the site aptoid.com download the application jiayu.es (or from GooglePlay).

3. Install this application.

4. In this app: Tools ROMs - Device Tools - Reboot in Recovery

And here we are finally in TWRP recovery. :cool:

Battery life - KitKat 0430 (latest official for S3B)

So I was kinda OCD about battery life when I got S3.

But in July I found about GSam Battery Monitor which monitors battery usage and gives me info about average battery lasting per complete charge.

Since then I don't monitor it so frequently but few days ago I went and took screenshot in settings.

I don't use any Greenify, battery savers etc.

I use my phone on 2G+Data always ON and WiFi always ON (phone is mostly on WiFi for data usage, and rarely mobile data). Also, my screen is either on lowest when I'm indoors or auto when outdoors. When I lay in bed reading at night I use Screen Filter app to reduce brightness even more.

I think Jiayu has amazing battery! :cool:

"Many Android phones have an integrated notification LED. With Light Flow, you can have your phone’s LED notification flash different colors depending on the types of notifications you have waiting for you – your phone can communicate notifications even with its screen off.

Light Flow requires a notification LED that can display different colors, so this will depend on your phone’s hardware."

I adjusted post with 'W' to emphasize my query was about stock 'official international' firmware

(as also mentioned in title).

Apparently thread turned into custom LP firmware one :). Fair enough.

I certainly look forward with much patience to those, in all fair cooperation, as well !.

But, in how far are, for example, jiayu resellers informed about future official software, and, in how far are they allowed to communicate such to others?

I know asking about ETA is not done on XDA. And I dare not and plan not asking for ETA. If only because I do not care less. I rather asked about jiayu communication strategy in general.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
hi

i was abled to made it charge more faster (~1 hour less, given or taken) on KK, but ... it was overheating on charging (~60ish degrees Celsius)...

(at 2A charger).

And, when on the last charging phase, that puts more stress on battery (latest ~10%) 90-100%, is was heating a bit furher.

On LP, needs more work

-That's probably why they didn't added

pump express

by MTK. (MTK's fast charging)

Or it required too much work...

I spent an fair amount of time on that...

The best option is to find an middle term between battery charging AMPs < -- > Temps.

But its easier to say then done

Voltage AMP depends on the battery current phase.

i.e: In first phase it uses the MAX charger AMP (1A) (that goes to about 40/50%)

Then it goes down to about ~0.750 and so on...

cheers

Anyone having issues on the latest official NewUI LP rom with copying files over USB? If I set USB options to USB storage and touch the drop down option to copy files from USB I get a System UI not responding crash and it seems to soft reboot the launcher for a second. File transfer via MTP seems to work ok. Anyone else having this issue?

Also weird bluetooth issue, seems to work ok-ish, my bluetooth headphones seem to work ok, also can sync up with my Ford Car Bluetooth system, syncs contacts etc. but if a try to dial via the car head unit it never works. If I dial via the phone then it does seem to work and routes the audio through the car. Very odd!

S3 Advanced, stock ROM (from needrom) 20150507-083407

NFC problem - tested with Samsung Grand Prime and LG G2 mini.

Enable NFC on all phones, launch stock Gallery, open a picture.

Touch my S3 with each phone, the beam message appears very very hard, like 1-2 times each 20 tries. The phone/phones makes that "connect sound" every time, I think it also vibrates each time, but there's no transfer message.

Whenerever I touch Samsung + LG, it works every time.

Anybody else had this problem ?

How to fix "Baseband version unknown" and no imei?

Hi,

I just got the 3GB version from jiayu-store.com.

I does not recognize the sim card. I am not sure if it happened after flashing TWRP recovery 2.8.4 or if it came like this.

I have tried another sim card from another Jiayu S3 and that card does not work in mine either.

I've been running diskdigger and undeleter on the phone and so fat I ahvnt been able to recover those pictures I ahev able to pull up pictures from 2 years ago but those pictures nope not a one.

So why does those pictures not show up when I flashed this ROM? did it over write.

If any one has some insite on this let me know.

Different people have different figures. I also run LP and battery drains normally until 5%. It did same with KK.

I wonder if, with battery 100%, it would make sense to boot recovery, mount data partition and rename /data/system/batterystats.bin (say, to /data/system/_batterystats.bin), reboot system, and then let it go to 0% in normal usage. I hear MTK calibration is special, but the file is there so I guess it serves some purpose.

Help with baseband

Is there a way of enabling other LTE disabled bands on the the original international rom S3SW Kitkat or S3S-20150623-142703 LL 5.1 ROM, I need LTE Band 1 (2100MHz), Band 3 (1800MHz) and Band 5 (850MHz) for my local SIM card.

I opened engineer mode>bandmode they are really disabled I cannot tick their boxes.
