That would be great. Getting tired with it.. Hopefully soon we will have close to normal experience with that phone. If they fixed the video and the HDR with the extra futures(layers and app2sd) it will be completed and fantastic ROM! :fingers-crossed:

Edit:I thought that you were talking about the battery drop[i red it the other tread and realized that is for the stats-( language barrier)] well that includes it and pls. Pls. Pls. Do somting about the drop(if you can of course) it's freaking annoying. Thx!
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
Lately I got used to battery drop, at least in mine it got aliviated, happens on 10% or less. But sure I guess for me it would be the thing that I most want fixed.

But the battery stats also sicks me out, with the stats resetting at each reboot I never got a real idea of battery duration in LP, And surely not only the reset has been fixed.

If the whole thing was f%$%$% thanks to MTK, and they have fixed, we can expect the better.

Well Jiayu.de RC1 works fine. No real annoying bugs for me (only ones that are noticeable are that battery drains fast from 6%).

Good SOT, good standby time, fast and stable.

Regarding primary memory there's option in the settings to swap it around. When I updated from KK to LL jiayu.de b10, the phone memory stayed primary for me.

This phone is quiet good and still on par with most "flagships" being released the last couple of months. The S3 is was released in december 2014(!) and widely available in february 2015 still most flagships (elephone P8000 for example) cant compete with this phone. I wouldnt say its not worth the money, it just depends on what you expect from a 160$ phone really.

Edit: I got this phone since february 2015 and am still using the same battery that came with it = no diference! So you must be doing something wrong or just got a faulty piece.

I'm with a strange issue in my phone running RC1, when I try to download a big game app from Playstore, as Dungeon Hunter 5 or Fifa 16, the phone starts to lag as hell. No sure why, so I have to force reboot and fastly cancel the download before it start again, otherwisse the lag will start again. It's strange, someone also saw this issue? I'm using the SDcard as main storage.

Update:

Maybe this is the problem, disabled the swap storage option and the download is not giving a hell lag anymore. Someone using the swapped storage can also test if this happen for you? Btw I can disable to download, then enable again after it, it's not a problem at all + we have fully functional App2sd now.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] lilcrise:
To restore your IMEI number on a chinese phone its simple:

1. make sure you have root access. if you dont know how. in the jiayu s3 settings tab select security then turn on superuser walla u just rooted your device! now lets fix you imei

2. download an app called MTK Engineering Mode its found in the playstore. download and install this app

3. Open the app and select MTK Settings. Then on the connectivity Tab select CDS Information

4. Select Radio Information

5. Phone 1

you will see AT+

erase the "+" it shoud look like this "AT"

add a new Plus sign to the AT something should pop up. Select the first one AT+EGMR=1,7,"". enter your phones imei number between those 2 quotation marks. (Your IMEI should be located on the box the phone came with or when you remove the battery.) it should look like this. AT+EGMR=1,7,"1234567891012345" now hit SEND AT COMMAND. notice you got an error. "This command is not allowed userbuild blah blah". thats because we forgot to add space between the AT and the + so this is what it should look like. Before AT+EGMR=1,7,"1234567891012345" AFTER AT +EGMR=1,7,"1234567891012345" . now all you gotta do is reboot the type *#06# and you should see your imei.

Hello guys,

I have a Jiayu S3 Advanced with the latest OTA firmware available (I think) S3SW 20150213 171816.

I like the phone, but there's a strange behaviour on almost all apps. The touch system seems inaccurate. Sometimes when a swipe gesture is done a touch event is fired. Other times when a supposed touch event should be triggered a swipe event happens.

I made a simple video playing the game "Tap Titans", with swipe and touch track mode activated (they can be activated on developers tools).

drive.google.com/file/d/0BxV64FlNCp6eRWhLLVhneTVabHc/view

This happens in other apps, like tinder, facebook, google plus, etc

For example on facebook making long page scrolls a details page opens...

Can anyone test it and confirm is the same happens with your devices?

Where do you think The TEAM F. Kernels come from?

Kernel sources are out there.

Cheers
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] mrsim:
because mediatek do not release their sources because of all the clones that their chips ship with.....in order to get full source code for any mediatek device you have to pay a hell of a lot of money and also some other crap...GPL says that this info should be open source and freely available to all developers and everyone via sites like github...it has nothing to do with Jiayu,it is mediatek who do not comply with these rules and regulations...those kernel sources i will assume are 'leaked' sources which developers are lucky to get their hands on

have a good google search and you will find lots of info about why mediatek do not disclose their source code

even xiaomi were only just allowed a recent 'test forum' here on XDA because they wait a year before releasing their code for devices

i have just ran through the list of devices that have their own threads here at XDA and you are correct there are a number of mediatek devices listed so lets hope that jiayu have paid for the release of their source code for the device,i did notice that the mediatek based devices listed are mostly for the bigger players like lenovo,oppo,micromax,blu,(although i am not sure if blu are a big player but i think that they are an american company),...so lets hope things work out for all of us

any expected release date?

going back to the signal issue, seems its only when falling back from 4G to 3G that there is an issue.

In this case it takes along time to get the signal/connection again.

Am I the only one with this issue?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
Seems to be the (ab)normal behaviour, happens when the device changes from one modem (wcdma) to the other (lte), the device in fact haves two modems and not just one.

On settings>about phone, it only shows one of the modems name/release info, but there's two of them ...

Theres a couple seconds of delay time,when it changes modem.

A good hint,to speed things up a bit, is via MTK eng.Menu> you disable the un-used bands in your country/operator .

The device will scann ALL bands when it changes state (i.e.: booting up/ from 3g-4g /4g-3g, etc ) ,thus, leading in some delay.

That's unbelievable! Mediatek is fool!!! Here you are why data connections are so underperformed with respect to paper declarations.

A question for you: do you think it's possible to merge the modems? It's not a request for you (well, not at all ...) , I'd like to know your opinion.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
Mediatek did gave a HUGE jump with lp source ( no joke)

For the first time, they are using an AOSP "normal" tree, still, some ( a lot actually) of "work-arounds / TODO'S" , and mediatek's own implementations

( every comp , haves their own things)

Some of mediatek's implementions actually made more damage than good, a good example is what i talked about the broken battery statistics.

It was "their" specific code merges that broke it.

We already found out several broken code all over the source, from packages to frameworks to external,etc .

Then, fixing this, by removing their implementation, and using Google's Mainline AOSP code /function turns out to be a better ( and cleaner) approach.

Easier to say than done... We have to fix it, and compile, compile compile... Test builds...

Modem source is a nightmare, now, multiply that by x2 (2 modems) ...

The only good thing, is that Mediatek is approaching mainline's AOSP tree

Better stop now... Wall of text...

Mic issues

Hey everyone, I was talking to some people at china-devices having mic issues with this phone. Here are my findings:

CUSTOMER SERVICE:

Ok, so I got a replacement phone today in the mail from Jiayu. *My wife dealt with them as she speaks Chinese better than I, she had to be a bit pushy with them and called them a handful of times. *They didn't want to switch it but she told them this was my 3rd Jiayu S3 purchase and we have been a happy customer until now and they need to resolve this - they agreed to switch it. *A few days later, she called and asked why they hadn't shipped another phone out; after them saying they didn't know they agreed to get a phone in the mail ASAP.

TECHNICAL PROBLEM:

I tried everything with my last Jiayu S3. *I flashed RC1 and a few other roms off needrom.com *The mic would never work during phone calls. *I tried flashing all the soundset.zip files. *I tried recording a video. *I tried turning all the mic values to the max 255 in engineering mode. *I reset the phone many times. *I made dozens of phone calls to my wife while she never heard a sound from me on the other end of the phone call. *I'm convinced there is no way to fix this. *I didn't have the "echo" problem where the voice was a bit quiet. *I got virtually no sound ever during phone calls or voice chat, but sound recorder always worked great and Wechat voice memos always worked great. *They next thing I was about to try was to replace the USB/Mic daughter board as one user said this resolved his problems, but my device was bought new from Jiayu and I live in China so I decided to just go the warranty route. *

I hope this helps someone as I spent countless hours working on this only to come out frustrated. *If Jiayu will mail you a replacement, do it and save yourself the time and energy of troubleshooting to no avail. *I was totally up and running within about 30 minutes with this new phone-and that includes flashing RC1, downloading all my apps, and configuring my programs. *This phone is a joy to use when it actually is able to make phone calls.

Im actually gonna quote this, it's very useful .

Glad everything is working now.

I said many, many times here, if you have hardware problems, just return the device.

also, save yourself from buying from ebay/ others, sellers...

They will treat you like trash sometimes, and will be a headache for an European/American buyer to ask "for warranty" to a chinese store/seller (no racism involved here, i know what im talking about...)

I also said this in our Portuguese forum, i rather buy something from a Official Jiayu Store and spend more ~30eur, but at least i know im "safe"
