Hotspot Issues

I was just wondering if anyone else have had stable connection issues when using the phone as a hotspot on RC1? My connection between devices seems to drop out every 10ish minutes for a few seconds which gets quite annoying. Any ideas?

Sidenote: Also happens with USB Tethering

Connection = Telstra 4G (Australia)

Hello all,

my charging cable died lately and I thought it is a good moment to buy a better charger&cable as the charging time on the "original" non-branded white Jiayu charger is very slow. What should I buy for maximum performance? Cable: 24AWG, 22, 20? Which travel charger should I buy? Maybe I should stick to the original? (only cable is damaged, the charger is working). I noticed that when I use other chargers the touchscreen of the phone can become completely unusable (it skips movement and keeps "clicking", i don't know how to explain it)

tl;dr what AWG cable and which travel charger should I buy for maximum charging performance for JY-S3 that wouldn't impair the touchscreen while charging?

Deep Sleep

I needed the Hotspot a few days ago with RC1 and I've also experienced the connection drop.

I think it is related to device entering into deep sleep and dropping the connection even though there are peers connected.

It worked just fine when left the screen on for 30 mins.

Hi everyone,

I've finally got around to flash my phone - but now I'm stuck and don't know how to flash it!

I'm on Win10 - and confused as to how I can flash it - here's what I'm using as guide:

http://www.nairaland.com/2376118/how-flash-lollipop-5.1-jiayu

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4lIQTRKmhk

The problem is - when I hit download nothing happens - so i presume it's driver related? But I can't get the driver to install (even whilst unchecking safe driver install etc)? Can someone shed some light as I'm lost.

See here a pic of my device manager + usbdeview:

Any help is greatly appreciated - as I want to get off KK.

Hi.

The sim card is working with videocall on my Lenovo A820 with JB cappa rom, so I think it is not the operator or sim.

It has to be the "phone app" that comes with the system that not has the video call option. On call screen it should be on the lower right corner a button to select the videocall.

Can not see it in sim manager either, where it should be setting for video call, only voice and other are the settings.

Q: Does the 5.1 have video call ? Multilanguage, rooted and gapps ? And developers option in settings ?

Hi there! I have a Jiayu S3S Advanced (3gb RAM) and when I updated the phone to RC1, I used the Format all Option. It is working, but I have two different IMEI in SIM 1 and SIM 2. I have read that it should have only one IMEI right? And the IMEI 1 and 2 are not the same, and are not the same as the IMEI that is written in the back case sticker of the phone! Is this normal? I can't say if it is or not, as I have not watched for the IMEI's number before I updated the phone :s

Anyway, It is working...

And btw, Sometimes, I have a bad behavior in camera's performance! Sometimes it takes a lot of time to open the camera app, and the image moves very slowly, less than 1 FPS!!! And if I record a video during that, it literally records that way. But, this is fixed if I reboot one or two times... But it is kinda annoying, and I don't know what it causes this.

Why do people still use the "FORMAT ALL" OPTION on SPFT?

It'll cause perma damage in most cases ...

If anyone had issues with it, and now haves part of NVRAM damaged

(i.e: No wifi or BT toggle , no wifi and no bt)

At your own risk

(If your reading this, you don't have much more to lose , your phone was already F# up)

Battery should be fully charged

Remove the SIM(s) CARD(s) & SDCard (if any)

You need SPFT + Stock KK & Stockk LP ROMs (any incremental version)

(Did it on Win 7 w/ UAC disabled)

You can try:

1:

Format All + download

KitKat Rom (hey , you already damaged the nvram so ...)

2 : When it's done, boot up the phone (first boot ...)

3 : Power OFF the phone

4: Use

firmware Upgrade

mode now, and re-flash KitKat Rom again

5 : When it's done, boot up the phone (first boot ...)

6 : Power OFF the phone

7: Use

firmware Upgrade

mode again, and flash Lollipop Rom

8 : When it's done, boot up the phone (first boot ...)

9 : Go Settings > Backup & Reset > Factory data reset

10: Wait for stock factory reset process is done ...

11: It'll reboot (if not, manually reboot)
