Last night fell water in mobile, I closed the phone and put out the battery, I try to dry it with a hair dryer and after 2 hours I open it and it worked. I had it all night open to dry well and in the morning was not working.

I connect to pc without problem, install new rom in flash tools with success , but always hangs in the white logo jiayu after green 3d design when it starts.

Try upgrade, format all & download , download with spflash tools with success (over 10 times -differents roms) but always hangs at the same point (white jiayu logo)

I entered in menu to see if is been in fastboot , change it to normal but the same resault .

Recovery is dead robot

Any ideas to unblock;

GPS accuracy problem

The S3 is supposed to possess a high-accuracy GPS due to 3 supported navigation systems.

I did a comparison of GPS tracking of my route while hiking around.

My old Prestigio (PAP5000) phone has shown a reasonably accurate track on the map.

The S3's GPS track line was just jumping around, sometimes more than 100 meters apart from where I was both while moving and standing still. Also, if it was likely to follow the track it followed it some 10s of meters in parallel from where I really was.

The distance I did was significatly longer on the S3 as on the Prestigo (32 kms instead of 24!) because of the jumps the S3 did to the right and to the left.

One could explain this with reflections / loss of the GPS signal. However, the (old) test device worked well and accurately in parallel under the same reflections.

Anybody met this phenomenon? What can I do to get it working as supposed.

My phone is working with only factory updates, the latest one is S3S 20150507. The only thing I did yet in February was to intall GAPPS manually using a chinese app.

Any advice is much appreciated.

After you done flash lollipop, please directly flash recovery without you make first booting. After that, enter recovery> select power off> select no to flash recovery>select no to root.

Enter recovery and flash this zip. Please take note lollipop recovery has not stable and it's will reboot automatically. So, you need flash as fast as possible.

If you lazy to edit or anything to fixes minor bugs. Just download my rar file and extract. Then, move to system with correct permission

Maybe 5.1 works. There's no kitkat rom which is working for that.

Yesterday I compiled kitkat stock rom, with supersu removed, su binary removed, settings menu cleaned up of root option and strings, framework cleaned up from root and kernel (ramdisk) not having root in it... Still Sparkasse app (banking application) told me my device is rooted.

I also changed ro.secure to 1, persist.sys.root.access to 0 and ro.debugable to 0.

Just curious: how can one operate a Chinese TWRP? Does one have to know all buttons and menus by heart? or are some words in English anyway?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] lolemenos:
so i tested for about an hour the 5.1 on my jiayu s3 advanced model 3gb ram

let me tell you how it fills compared to kitkat 4.4 version of 25/5/2015

the difference in speed is really noticeable. art and 64 bit architecture really helps the device

the touching bug is still here and it comes up when playing games for some of us (small slide instead of touch) but it's not really that big of a deal when doing some browsing.

the sound is a bit blurry i guess it has no bass and it's full on high's freq

the buttons illuminated are twice or maybe 3 times as bright as 4.4

back camera is meh. i am using google camera and it seems to fix a bit the quality

front camera has the red bug

wifi seems stable need to try out more

no touch screen gestures. don't know if our friend above can implant them or no i don't know if the kernel allows the screen to detect those gestures

those are my finds didn't have that much of a time to try more; i will keep you informed here if i find something new

imo biggest bug is the lack of 3g and 4g. i think you can flash the modem from 4.4(??????) to improve the signal but i am not really sure. if someone knows please tell

anyways i suggest you guys to go for 5.1 it's worth the speed if you dont care about the red camera or the lack of 3g/4g

update 1 : 3g 4g started working. perhaps i had a problem in my area:/
