Nevermind this version has some serious bugs

Flashing works fine but while formating it hangs and then after manually restarting the recovery it says cant mount system/ cache, it has problem with ext4_util. Had to revert back to 2.8.4.0
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] The_Boujmaa:
Hello everyone!

Is battery life o Jiayu s3 3gb ram good ? i heard somme rumors said it only die in 5 hrs with 3g ,,

Is that true ,, i need reviews from people who already have an experiance with this phone .
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
I consider it good. I recharge every 36h (sometimes after 24h sometimes after 48h). When I am awake all sensors are on. When I sleep all sensors are off.

I am not a heavy user.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] g.andi:
I'm using a 128gb sd in exfat on S3, it works like a charm.

Its very useful for testing roms, can make and keep nandroid backups of everyting. Next time i format it in fat32 again, as some roms did not recognize the exfat fileformat, like xtreme rom.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
I need upgrade my 32GB class 10.

Not much space as I like to keep apks, music, backups and other stuff on SDcard, was thinking about 64GB first, but why not a 128GB haha
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] mze1:
Well since you are on rc5 you can use a tool called "Maui META", you have to install some drivers in test mode on windows to install unsigned drivers.. When you are ready I will walk you through the process as its not that hard to do. As for charging you can enable fast charge options in settings/misc/fastcharge options..
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] g.andi:
I think about a 64gb too, but the prices for 128gb are going down, and from personal experience i know in some years i will be still glad, that i had take the big one :)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] mze1:
[MENTION=6037177]g.andi[/MENTION] Replacing internal emmc is far better as you will get much better speeds. Internal emmc of the jiayu s3 is already quite fast and you can replace it with similar type which will be compatible...

You just need to open it up and find out the brand and version. :p
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] g.andi:
For my use not, the internal memory is enough for me On the sd (except nandroid backups) i store usually data, that i want to have on a new phone too (photos, music, docs, pdfs etc). So if the phone gets broken, i insert the sd in the new one and i'm ready to go.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] EloquenceShenanigans:
Can confirm I have had no issues with exfat 128GB microsd on RC4
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
But its way tricky to do haha

I know you telling it after the guy who modified his Nexus 5, if the whole process was't dangerous would be ready awesome to after a time replacs your Emmc.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] tochilyn:
The Maui meta is actually for charging i hope?

The fast charging option does work for me unless am missing sumtin from the settings, unassigned drivers can work well on win7 so am good to go, secondly what's ur fast charging settings you're using currently, aside the charging aspect and a bit low call reception quality i must commend the developers of this RC5 u all did a great job and i bless u all in the name of any thing u respect, believe in and worship..
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] sikke1:
Kudos to you. I didnt discover this before.

This is only mtk6752 truely unrooted rom/kernel I have found. With this rom internet online banking apps + streaming apps work. All other Jiayu mtk6752 roms are detected as rooted and unsafe.

Mediatek mtk6753 stock rom is also working.

rootcloak will not work / fix the other mtk6752 roms.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] frulex:
BTW, as far as I remember testing, the original Jiayu charger and cable are able to output 1.3A while using Fast charge kernel...
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Kage Musha:
Which apps do not work for you even with rootcloack?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AlexZap:
I never upgraded to the 128gb flash. Just didn't find the right deal yet. I am weary of getting one from eBay/China as there are so many fakes out there. Amazon had some good prices, but they were all class 4. And dumping data onto a class 4 flash is painful at best. One of these days I might upgrade, but I'm in no rush.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] mze1:
lol No, Maui META is for flashing IMEI NVRAM...

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 PM ----------

@genesisalgor Its not that hard to do and there is already some cheap proven SMD rework stations that are good enough to do the job... I will do it as soon as I receive the new SMD station that I ordered. Its a good thing to have around and do some repairs. Plus you can make some extra cash while doing it...

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
I think I'll give a shot in some Chinese Real Brands that we see on Aliexpress, not the Sandisk, Kingston knockoffs that we find there.

But maybe buying a smaller one first just to test.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Pato Mareao:
Just look at the opinions if you can see photos of the real storage that means is a good one. I have bought two 64gbs and 0 problems
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] nature boy:
So can we expect a new Jiayu phone with the Helio X20 down the road? And using all the features (4k recording, Aptx, Bluetooth 4.2, etc)?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] mze1:
lol Going for a chinese brand you will most probably get conned... You are so wrong about this one...

Better get something from amazon and sandisk will be quite safe to purchase from there...

They are dirt cheap and I see no reason risking buying an sd card from aliexpress..
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Pato Mareao:
I guess I was lucky then
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] cyberdejy:
I have this one and I'm pretty happy with it.

Samsung Memory 64 GB EVO Plus MicroSDXC UHS-I Grade 1 Class 10 Memory Card with SD Adapter (Frustration Free Packaging) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00WIMBZHK/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_5Wmkxb52H48DZ

For 17£ there is no much that I can hope for
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] mze1:
[MENTION=6875569]Lechon Comunista[/MENTION] Yeah you consider yourself lucky and not all sellers on aliexpress are trustworthy. If that sd card that you purchased is original and it actually performs as advertised from the actual maker, then you should say which is the seller that you bought it from...

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

Yeah I got the same one for now but the 32GB version... I am pleased with it as well but I will get another one with bigger capacity once I decide which device will be my upgrade.. :p

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
Those are branded ones... they will performance fine just like a 10class one. There are other good Brands too as Transcend.

I really doubt they suck with so many positive feedback.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] nature boy:
I prefer Toshiba and made in Japan cards.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] mze1:
They will perform and actually perform as a whole other story... Did you even check the reads and write speeds of those sd cards?

Don't just come up with some random nonsense without even checking first...
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
For what I'm seeing on feedback is about a 10class, with 10 - 15 writing, and 10 - 20 or more reading, that's how my 32Gb is performing lol
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] mze1:
Feedback and actually testing it for yourself is two whole different things. Are you talking about transcend or the Chinese one? I've had bad experience with transcend and they s*ck..

Your best bet is to go on trustworthy review/benchmark sites...

btw 10-20 reading speed is pathetic to begin with...
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
So my sdcard is pathetic

And I'm pretty fine with it [emoji14]
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] mze1:
I didn't say its totally useless but you should do some research before you actually purchase something..

sd cards now are cheap anyway, at least up to 64GB for people who don't have much to spend..

That being said, why not get one that actually performs really well?

The samsung evo plus for example has a good price and actually performs quite well..
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] uptowner:
i,m gonna try a couple of those chinese cards at $14 for a 64 and 128 what the hell i usually use pny sandiscs fail too many times for me despite their rep
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
Bought it early in 2014, never faced much issue with it, but as Im using it as internal storage sometimes when download a big app the phone becomes slow lol

I'll keep researching, and earning, Btw you're right for big storage 64GB or 128GB is better to be safe. Do you know any seller who sell original samsungs at Ali?

Lexar is a good brand too, but expensive as hell lol

Well having f'd my screen by dropping it I managed to buy a new LCD and digitizer on aliexpress. 14 dollars to dhl and it to the UK it arrived on the door today. Turn around in from China in less than 5 days. For a total spend of 40 pounds delivered. Bloody ripper. Installed the new screen in less than 1 hour. Some of the you tube videos in Spanish and Russian were a little interesting to interpret but my Jiayu S3 is Alive I tell you; Alive. Pretty impressed at how simple it was to disassemble and put back together.

Yet another reason why I've been happily using this phone for over a year and still love it. Eat that Apple. If anyone wants the name of the store on Aliexpress pm me and I am happy to share. Regards. Aussie.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:

This i can give you an 100% certain it'll never, ever , ever work

even if you leave that work to a pro.tech, the emmc needs sofware support.

The right part number, and specifics need to be merged on device sw.

I dont know if you recall, but the very first Lollipop beta (stock china), only worked with jiayu s3basic (2GB ram), and very , very few advanced units.

This was due, to most of the jiayu advanced have a new emmc, that wasn't merged into sw, part at that time ...

Yeah, be carefull with fakes ones, and "too good to be true" deals ..

There are a lot of fake SD's on the market

i've burned so many SD's Cards on my devices, i think on the Jiayu i've burned 2 or 3.

But hey, they do have a lot of use ...

Why not the new x25 ?

Idk, who knows right ?

lol, that's awesome

For what I've heard the planned "S4" was cancelled. Because their plans didn't match consumers expectations.

So they might launch a mid-range option this month, while their develop the S4 as a true upgrade to S3.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] mze1:
Just by replacing your IMEI within engineering mode won't really solve your issue though, as you would most probably get bad network signal and it won't be stable since you have unnecessarily formatted the device instead within sp flashtool...
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] g.andi:
I tried it shortly. Be carefully when using spflashtool for flashing you have to uncheck preloader.. Its a typical chinese rom, Bloatware en masse and maybe some hidden goodies extra for free :). Since i received a brandnew chinese backdoored smartphone i'm carefully with chinese roms. Online banking is a no go.

Modem for me was worst then Cm12.1 one, ui horrible. Even if i had unchecked recovery while flashing, it overwrite my twrp. So i had to reflash a Rc with recovery again to restore my nandroid backup.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] mze1:
I heard there is another soc which I forgot the name of it: Kariki, Karikan or something like that which performs better than the helio x20 or x25. If only I can find the device and website that I have visited again...

My eyes are on zopo speed 8. :) Comes with stock marshmallow rom...
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
You probably mean Kirin SoC's , huawei is using them (made by HiSilicon, owned subsidiary of Huawei ... )

..They have great performance, their latest even outdoes the powerful high-end Qualcomm SoC's ...

They are starting to appear more on other brands, due to their relative low-cost/high performace ratio

cheers
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] mze1:
Thanks, but from what I remember the one I seen was performing better but the graphics performance was equal. Could of been using the same graphics chips or another one, Don't remember...

Gonna check if there is one with Kirin soc but with more powerful graphics...
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
They usually use Mali / PowerVR GPU's

A little bird also told me, they are expanding to other GPU vendors...

I have one device with their 935 SoC, it uses the Mali-T628 MP4, but the same GPU also used on another SoC have very lower scores/performance.

Huawei in-house did a great job on sw part... the same Mali performs way better with Kirin , than on Others...

cheers
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
Heard that the new X25 have a MaliT880MP4 clocked at 900mhz, it's curious what Mediatek is doing, overclocking the GPU rather than increasing cores.

Same sh@t. I don't know why some companies are using the standard micro usb in their new devices instead of usb 3.1/type C

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Kage Musha:
You guys doing ROM development for it :P

Dualsim AND SDcard

VoLTE capability

NFC

Would like to see min. 32 GB ROM

and min 4 GB RAM for the basic version? (6 GB for the advanced)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AlexZap:
Something that more then a select few can develop for. I'm not complaining about you guys, you are doing an amazing job, but I'd love to see a jiayu with a snapdragon 620 or 820. Qualcomm doesn't have the same issues with releasing code that mediatek does. Other bigger brands are doing it (xiaomi, Meizu, letv...). Also some of the snapdragon chips can have bands unlocked, so I might have a chance of getting LTE here in the states.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] nature boy:
Helio X line of SoCs (X20/X25) or Qualcomm 65X series

32GB ROM (minimum) EMMC 5.1

4GB RAM (don't need more)

Decent camera (PDAF, decent low-light capabilites, 4k recording is important for me)

NFC

Removable battery

Microsd slot (like the S3, no hybrid slot)

Good screen (IGZO or some other power-saving screen tech)

Metal body

Good cases avaliable to buy (the S3 has leather/rubber cases, we want hard cases)

Lots of connectivity (Bluetooth 4.2, ANT+, Apt-x if it isn't expensive to include)

And of course some upgrades to the OS

Price around 250 euros
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] coreinsane:
I just need good rom suppprt, I would prefer a good camera performance, if it is available with OIS. A good audio performance would be also really nice like dolby or sth.. Keep the good battery life, and I dont even need so much ram and soc power so a mid ranger soc would suit my needs. Fhd screen, I dont need more. Removable battery of course and sd card slot. Notification LED is a must, and an additional fingerprint sensor would be nice too. And dont forget to keep the price under 300 dollars.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] vagelisss:
I am also quite satisfied with the S3, the main issue of the device is camera performance. So I think that s good camera performance-not specs- would be a real upgrade in the next jiayu. Also a more inspired phone design. I remember that when thinking of buying it the looks was the only turn off. So to sum up:

SD 650 or Helio x20(for vfm)

3-4 GB RAM

Better looks

A lot better camera

A bit better battery consumption
