Hi,

not had exactly the same issue but using wifi hotspot causes the mobile signal to dissappear. I go into settings/wireless & networks/.....more/mobile networks/4g/3g service/preferred network type and select 3G, I then go out wait until it picks up the signal and then go back in and select 4G recommended. The signal then is ok until I try hotspot again. I am with Three too.

HI [MENTION=5536629]kommando[/MENTION]

Thank you for sharing, just now i downgrade to the same firmware as when i receive the phone, S3W 20150205-141543 and that make the baseband go back as well (dated 2014/12/26).

So far looks like the signal keep stronger inside home.

What firmware do you have? Did you always have that issue?

Regards

I really don't know. You will have to hope someone who knows more about this than me answers. I am still very new to android. I doubt it would be software, because everyone would have the issue, but I also doubt it is hardware, because clearing the boot data fixed it temporarily.

Thanks guys

Currently this is very expensive for me

The best i've found was this one:

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...x720-5-5inch-Android/1243333_32259564104.html

Not sure how to buy from aliexpress or if it's trustable, all the other stores are also from China (damm, no Euro / USA stores ...)

Will need to gather the money first, plus, the shipping time is ~15-39 days from Singapure Post (trustable ?).

Im still shocked with this situation ...

Regards
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AlexZap:
I have had mixed results with aliexpress... usually good. but Singapore post will take an age and a half to get to you. I'm in the US, and they quote me almost 40 days!! They do offer upgraded shipping, but for me it is 22 bucks (US) !! Which is crazy. Anyway. There are two other vendor sites I saw selling this,http://vifocal.com/lcd-display-with-touch-screen-replacement-for-jiayu-s3-smartphone.html and http://www.mobilespart.com/jiayu-s3-lcd-display-with-touch-screen-repair-parts-replacement.html. dunno the shipping time tho. Anyway, I see your PayPal in your sig. Keep up the good work, or if you move on, spend the money on some good beer. I'm just hoping someone is around to compile cm12.1 when jiayu finally decide to release lollipop. I was figuring it would be you and the jiayu.de team. If you move on to another phone, good luck!

for me i don't think jiayu s3 update to android 5.0 OS is a nice news.Android 5.0 has a lot of bugs and also make the system run slowly
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ProTechShark:
Android 5.0 had slowed down every device I've seen, but this is a 64 bit phone, and lollipop is 64bit so we will get big performance boosts.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] bob nguala:
yes very slowly.except the chinese brand phone,the samsung galaxy note 3 is also very slowly if you update android 5.0OS .so i really recommend jiayu release android 5.0os.it will be helpfull they can help us to solve the android 4.4OS's bug.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] DerTeufel1980:
As far as I know, we're going to receive 5.1 directly. No need to worry about 5.0 bugs

OFFICIAL DragonDevil 0.3.0 kernel is on Needrom

Hi All,

I've just found this. I wander if it is safe or reasonable at all to flash and use it without the control apk written by jiayu.de (by [MENTION=3279686]DerTeufel[/MENTION] if I'm right). [MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION], would You be so kind as to comment? After all this kernel - in more than half part - is Your brainchild.

Thanks in advance,

Tony
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Nutsonfire:
I've yet to have a real issue with mine... it has been at least as stable as my Nexus 5, never rebooted once.

Only issue I would say I have today is the sound when calling is pretty low quality and not loud enough.

The rest, for me it's not any worse than any other android device I had until now and for sure a lot better than your usual chinese crap.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] KURT.Beadles:
Well you just said it, "low quality on calling". I'm pretty much using my phone for calling, don't know how this would be a minor bug.. So back to zero again. Would that rom have this low quality or is it improved so one could actually use it as a "phone"...
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Nutsonfire:
Cant you fix some of this in engineering mode? for me its liveable as it is as I dont call a lot. Maybe some phones are worse I don't know. I guess if you want to be picky with things you better spend the cash for usual brands instead of these chinese things.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] KURT.Beadles:
I'm not being picky. I have used Chinese phones for years and still use my Newman N1, UMX X1 and now I use mostly Zopo C2. And these are just great phones and I will tell that you that from the reviews I've seen the picture quality of the S3 (and video) are just far worse than on my older Chinese phones. And call quality is on par as with my wife's iPhone 5S.

So this has nothing to do with being picky or not just that jiayu haven't really delivered once again. I really would like to buy this phone, honestly. But having owned and used the first jiayu years back , I once again are put off and really hesitant in buying a jiayu again. But I rest my case for the moment and see what will happen when LP is released or a better rom like the one just mentioned above.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ProTechShark:
Well, apart from that. I don't use my phone camera much.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] KURT.Beadles:
You just wrote that you haven't had a single bug, but both the video and photos in all honesty are very poor. Almost every user that have discussed this says it's crap. And on your phone would you say that the phone call quality is better than on those phones people have that complained about it?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] sirdickens:
I really don't know who is having problems with calls. But if you ask me call quality is way better then on my Sony/Sony-Ericsson devices I owned earlier and iNew V3 chinese device. I did have problems (echo,low sound etc) but updates and DragonDevil kernel solved almost all bugs, and I can confirm that I don't have any issues with calls anymore. Camera takes decent photos in well lightened conditions. Video quality is also improved, there is still place for improvement though. But ever since I'm using Lenovo super camera video is good enough for me. Photos are also a bit better with LSC.

Only problem I have so far and this is really what I'm afraid is HW related (or at least in batch I've ordered my JY S3) amd those are gyro and compass. Compass is really fukkt up and gyro seems to be too sensitive. And everything else is really nice since the last update (I am on 0430).

So I will use this time to ask if anyone can confirm it's only me with compass and gyro problems. And can anyone help me solve it?

Cheers!

Bruno

Quoting myself here -- but I managed to "fix" the problem and for the sake of prosperity, I'm adding what fixed it.

The solution was -- pushing down really hard on the screen at the corners. Yes, apparently something was loose. Perform this "fix" as your own risk. As of now, it is at 95% clarity and the remaining 5% is barely noticeable -- but as a perfectionist it still bothers me. Should I open this thing up? I'm certainly no expert...

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Paradelle:
The video recording is crap. The photo quality is pretty decent. I go through so many phones. Or I did until I got this one. It's as fast, maybe faster, than the M8 and LGG3 and that's without it being on lollipop. The screen is better than the M8's. The build quality is solid. I have had no call quality issues as all. Neither do I get random reboots, or battery drain. My LGG3 and M8 cost me over £350 used. The S3 cost me £150 new.

I'm really not sure what people are expecting with such a cheap phone.

Thanks in advance for any reflections

The kernel works but the app that you install does not function unless you have purchased the phone from Jiayu.de , i have had the kernel installed for a couple of weeks and no problems. Its hard to say if it makes much improvement tbh :D
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ProTechShark:
What does the app actually do?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] KURT.Beadles:
C'mon I may look dumb but I'm really not. I'm only 12 years old [emoji16], kidding.

I really don't expect this to be a Ferrari, but at least when I buy a Trabi I would expect it to start and run. That is my point that at least this phone had a good call quality, which it hasn't based on numerous people reviewing it. That's the bloody case I'm buying it for in the first place. So if you're using it for gaming I rest my case.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] sirdickens:
Yes, I have just flashed DD kernel on my S3 ROM, and as chinese rom user I am not allowed to use Jiayu Control apk.

And I have to agree with you on outrageous act and restriction policy. This is kinda racist.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] M Junaid:
I don't know and I may be wrong. We have bought/buying this device as it is one great device (in this price tag) and we are expecting devs to support regardless to where we bought the phone from. Making a great kernel but restricting to use its app because we didn't bought the phone from jiayu.de is just.......sad. It's the brand 'Jiayu' we're thinking to buy from Wherever it's convenient. We should support devs for working hard and brand/phone regardless of location.

Thread cleaned of paid rom nonsense.

This likely doesn't need to be said to 99.9 percent of XDA members, paying for a Rom is your choice of course, though a desperate one.......But keep it off XDA. Paid Roms are not to be advertised or linked here. Period. And it's shameful that any even exist.

That's my 2 cents on that. :good:

do i see lolipop 5.1 here ?

http://bbs.ejiayu.com/thread-1263575-1-1.html

cannot understand from the translation what is going on :)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
I went through the forum Google translated and I think I may say the

thread is much more friendly than our own. Maybe we can learn from

them.

To begin with, the OP is called 'Love Believe/Love Letter' and is

somewhere credited 'Good Domain "official reviewer"' (Good Domain is

what 'Jiayu' really means, as you probably already know).

The 5.1 firmware shown is commented as unstable Jiayu work in

progress.

No words like 'scam' or 'crappy' appear there or are needed there (as

they unfortunately seem to be required in our thread).

Nothing to discriminate or ban there either. No interventions or blocks.

Our thread, instead, seems to be about a nonexistent battle that no-one will or can win.

The Chinese Jiayu S3 forum sounds all very nice. We dare to speak here about

those 'Chinese phones' as if they are no good, but, admit it: we don't

even make the non 'Chinese phones' ... they make them. And if someone

here dares to doubt any XDA developer, he/she gets to know it soon.

One post I loved very much would simply reply:

"Do not wait until the flowers are grateful"

Now, that's something I do not often read on XDA fora. Let's try to learn from our Asian friends.
