heheh, that was me actually being lazy, wanted to make things work easy way :D.

I edited the original post
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] w2o4ts:
A couple of days ago, I upgraded to RC2 (coming from KK).

First of all, let me congratulate the devs on a great job done with this ROM!

I am having a few issues though, and I was wondering if someone might lend a hand...

The (stock) browser demonstrates a rather weird behaviour: Right after start (at which point the home page URL does appear in the address bar, at the top), the address bar is hidden, and there is nothing that can bring it back(!) No taps, no swipes, not a thing!

At some point, I -sort of- tricked it into letting me type in a URL, the keyboard did come up and I was able to type... text that I couldn't see (the address bar was still invisible)!

It looks almost like the Settings->Laboratorios->Full Screen option is in effect - although it is not selected! I tried all the usual, clear data, cache etc, but to no avail...

Certainly looks like a bug - and unfortunately renders the browser practically unusable. What's weird is that other RC2 users don't seem to have noticed anything similar.

Any ideas...?

PS: Among other... desparate/silly ideas, I thought I'd try the RC1 browser on, just in case, but it seems it's not compatible with the rest of the build, as it FC's immediately...

After performing a "Soft reboot", the phone is no longer able to connect to any mobile networks. It does recognise the presence of the SIM, but also seems unable to access it - e.g. for modifying security settings - and I think this is where the problem lies; the SIM probably needs to be unlocked (via it's security code) after the soft reboot, but the phone never puts up the unlock procedure (keyboard and all), so the SIM remains locked and access to the network too.

Needs a full reboot to come back to it's senses.

Is this a known behaviour...?

Lastly, let me also report that the battery stats are reset after reboots (soft and hard) - although from what I saw in the ROM's changelog, I think this was supposed to have been fixed in RC2.

Any suggestions on the above would be highly appreciated...
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
Hi, thanks for the feedback

To answer you questions:

1: We updated the " stock" browser on many things, this is indeed a known bug, that we already spoke about it, its already fixed, the upcoming rc3 will have a updated browser ( the same on rc2, but more polished and with more work made)

2: This is not a normal behavior at all, make sure you properly updated the phone partitions from kitkat- lollipop, or just flash previous rc1 via SPFTOOLS with "upgrade" option, then you can move on to rc2 ( that is on recovery format)

3: Battery statistics are fixed, do check the changelog

And we should keep jiayu.de talk / feedback / request on the proper thread we made

http://xdaforums.com/android/development/rom-jiayu-s3-5-1-1-t3217241

Just that, we keep things organized and clean, this thread is a general talk and its one massive thread where people talk about all things :)

Cheers ;)

No, still buggy with RC2!

shortly screenshot before the shut down
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] w2o4ts:
Many thanks for your quick reply!

I 'll take any more questions to the dedicated thread (in fact, I was wondering which of the two was more appropriate to place this one in - ended up in this thread... :o)

Regarding [2], I did flash RC1 (with the "upgrade" option) first, and then installed RC2 on top via recovery, so I would expect everything to be in order with that...

Anyway, I think I can only wait for RC3 now.

Keep up the good work! :good:

hi guys. where can i find the latest SPflashtool?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Dior DNA:
if it is only to flash and if your twrp does not read exfat filesystem, you could try another card formatted, say, fat32
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] apogen:
thanks a lot..

i just flashed it and everything seems ok.. wifi is responding faster and also both 3g cards locks instantly to providers. i dont know about 4g cause i havent enable it with my provider..

Can you check if the hotspot is working with more than 1 phone connected to it?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
How is it buggy?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kenturky:
Dude, does rc2 support exfat? If so, is there a twrp which supports exfat? Because I can't flash roms from the sdcard because twrp doesn't read exfat.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
RC2 support it, but probably the recovery provided by Hanuma doesn't have that support. A new recovery should be made I guess.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kenturky:
Yea I was thinking the same. I hope someone works on an exfat supported twrp.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
Dude Why dont you flash from your internal sdcard?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kenturky:
U sure that's good? Okay I'll try that then.

It seems like only a few people are having battery issues, but replying like that for something that and has pretty much been there since the stock kk ROM (although I haven't been hearing as much problems with battery since rc1) and hasn't cost you anything. These people are doing this and supplying the software for our phones out of there own time.

With comments like that I wouldn't want to contribute anything more

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] haasgo:
Mediatek does provide very good hardware on a cheap basis but with the lack of any sort of source or real support. Just imagine that SD801 from 2014 is still a hot soc just due to support...this one here is obsolete after not more than a year just because of lacking source/support...a pitty the customers will blame jiayu for that, but they decided to go with mediatek themselves.

Can you pls tell me if it says that i can remove the updates of the Google play store does it mean that i can safely do factory reset and it will be still there?? :confused:

P. S when i both the phone it was with no Google play store and i asked the gay that i both it from to add it, i don't know does he flash a new rom or just install it..
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] L4s7Re4lG4mer:
If you flash them in to system storage they stay there after factory reset
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
Judging by your answer i am sure that the google apps are on system and you can factory reset the phone without loosing google apps, even if you did you can add them back very very easily. Cheers:)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Sta'ko:

mistake
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] donmargarito:
I need HELP guys, a LOT of help!

I have received the Jiayu S3S (3GB RAM) everything is perfect but the microphone. It doesn´t work properly.... if you call someone or you try to send a voice messange through Wathsapp, Telegram etc... they won´t hear anything, like the microphone was disconnected. But if you use the microphone app to register your voice then you can hear that actually the hardware is working....

I haved restored the phone, and I have even reflashed the rom using this rom ( http://www.needrom.com/download/s3s-nfc3gb-ram-2015-02-13/ ) and the cwm recovery but the problem is still there...

I have tried to fix it through the engineer mode and changing the values for the different levels of the microphone, but it doesn´t work :(

Any suggestions or something? thank you so much guys!
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] bernardoko:
Hi Levered,

I have tried every trick I found in the web with no success :crying:

As I write before I can place and receive calls, after repairing IMEI(restored using *#4634# code), my problem is no cellular data. When I try to browse to any site I get "time out" in a few seconds.

I look in the web for NVRAM DB BPLGU Files Modem Database MT67xx , and came empty handed , even at Mediatek download site I didn't find them

So if I don't have this files, how can I repair my modem? :(:confused:

forgot to mention that I flash STOCK S3S 20150324 3GB/NFC and the problem still exist
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] dhgaming:
IMEI fix

Hi guys

Had the same problem and the below fixed my problem (It was posted earlier in the thread by 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.

Make sure to follow all the steps or u will continue to get errors

Is there not a copy of the BPLGU with the SPFlash ROM?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] buby93:
Hi guys. I have the "classic" issue of the recharge with this device. The interesting thing is that I noticed the charger heat up a lot during long charge period and as a result (I guess) it is no more recognized by the phone itself. Do you think it's possible? Anyone has noticed some changes by switching to another cable or charger?

Thank you for your time :)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] RalphMalph:
Did you setup apn?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Levered:
What i've do to restore IMEI is:

1. I've reinstall mtk driver on my windows (http://pan.baidu.com/s/1ntoRwyX pass:4d11 )

2. I've install SN Writter (http://pan.baidu.com/s/1nturbhJ pass:g8el )

3. I've flash again Jiayu S3 firmware

4. I've change my imei (on my phone it's show "NULL" )with same my imei phone (you can see on your phone box or backcase battery) using SN Writter.

That's all. now i can using mobile data more stable after missing my phone IMEI

any problem you can contact me soon, i will try my best to help you.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Paradelle:
This could be it. I'm on giffgafff in the UK and need to set up a new APN every time I flash a new rom.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
yes tried the new UI, the contacts and dialer have been fixed, but the notification pulldown is still a little bit laggy. plus the status bar icons are a big small.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] morphjk:
I checked all that and it wasn't that. I still can't get it to work. Have factory reset, installed another firmware and tried different SIMs. Occasionally I get a call to come through but that is rare.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Madsomebody:
only one IMEI

I just noticed my S3S has only one IMEI number in "about phone" and also only one on inside of back cover. My last dual sim had 2 IMEI nos. The box has 2 but they are both same. Also #06# says "unknown application".

is this normal for this phone
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
Yeah, not blaming Jiayu sure, just making fun.

The whole thing that happened with the very good MT6752 and 32 was a shame.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
I (we) dont need them ;)

The best is yet to come

Sure, opensourcing the whole thing could move this forward a bit, there's a lot of specific things on MTK chips, so that a regular dev from qualcomm or a exynos will need to bang his head on the wall (a lot)

But, it's nothing that could be a deal braker, after couple of years to get more devs into this platform

Pitty they don't see this, keep in mind ,that we both come from

the

community...

...so keeping this closed source (and im just talking about GPL --Kernel) is actually hard for us...

It's not on our hands :/

And i fully agree with you, from the latest Wade post on bbs.ejiayu this looks like is gonna be the last rom for our device from Jiayu.cn

But also, it seems MTK is more concerned about the mt6753 and others now, than keeping the support on software level for the mt6752

Concerning us, The jiayu.de rom , will try to continue to keep this baby up-to-date, from security patchs (that we merge every month) to other things, of course it'll may still get couple bugs in the end (?) since (we are not magicians) , lets see ;)

cheers
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kenturky:
So do we have a marshmallow port anytime soon? I don't understand why they had to make another s3 and dump the MT6753 chip in it. You know, MT6732 which is a quad core is too good. But they didn't manufacture a lot of phones with that chip. The only phone is Xperia E4g dual. Did mediatek underestimate this chip?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
Flashed the latest New UI on my phone, i must confess that the ugliness killed my phone first then me.:eek:
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] tool88:
Is their something in settings to turn on the led for notifications? I can't find it if it is their, but the green doesn't flash any more when I get them it will still light up for charging though.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
They don't, actually the SoCs are too good, that could canibalize the Helio X10 sells, specially ours, so they cut some corners to make it a really mid end, although the MT6753 still better than Snap 615, the MT6752 could be equal to Snapdragon 801, except by the GPU.

I've been trying this new modem for a day and it is working fine in RC2, Wi-Fi stability got better, can't say much about data or call quality for now.

Guys talking about Marshmallow, well no matter what Jiayu CN says :P

The future is good for us, Superdragonpt have a long story of don't letting his phones dies outdated :P

The future is indeed good.

Alhough for now, the only thing that I really appreciate in Marshmallow more than Lollipop, is the opening app animation :P

With the new modem my wifi connectionloss are solved

Tryed almost all builds , and with the new modem my wifi connectionloss problems are gone, thank you very very much
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Komagain:
I have tried with RC2 + New modem, it is not.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] SWEUP:
Only used for 1.5 days but new modem seams much better, no wifi drop yet.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
Maybe unrelated

But yesterday I re-flashed rc2 and got some weird wlan problems:

( this was a first )

Couldn't connect to my home network, with the wlan assistance saying " authentication problem" after couple of reboots I could finnaly connect, but it was always dropping...

I did a dirty flash from a newer (test build ) , was trying to compare a function on rc2...

Did full wipes ( twrp) , including data... Waited to boot up... And same issue

Logs weren't helpful at all, they where just printing out the (obvious) wlan issues.

Well another full wipes, and this time I flashed from internal , and took out ext.sdcard and was ( finnaly) fine again...

I formated the ext.sdcard, copied rc2 to it again, full wipes and reinstalled again

Was ok also.

Maybe this helps ;)

Cheers
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] hohassan444:
As expected, the battery bug is still present and even worse: it starts at 15 %..........in Rc2 it starts at 10 %. I am now convinced it is true hardware problem and will never be corrected .please any recommendations for a good battery.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kenturky:
Buy Konpson 3400/3500mah battery from aliexpress. Check previous posts. Some guy said that the Konpson battery didn't give any battery drop. So I guess it's really good. Even I'm going to order.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
If that's indeed true

Than it just gives more strength to my theory:

Some batts have lower capacity/ can't use the full capacity for whatever reason

, that's the only thing that makes sense to me.

By collecting all the feedback gave here:

-Some have drops others don't ( either being basic or advanced version )

- in the category of Those who have drops, some can't fully charge the phone also.

Hi guys, i already wrote on this forum months ago. I really want to update my ROM since i'm still on kitkat. I tryed months ago as i said, but i have problems in the process of flashing the ROM because my PC doesn't recognise my phone when i turn it off. Can someone give me a specific guide step by step (since i'm not so pro) to help me solve this problem? I tryed to install MTK drivers also, but the installation fails every time :(

Thanks for the attention
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
Did you turn off the phone, and press both volume buttons ( dont let go) before starting the flash process?

Cheers
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] buby93:
I knew i have to turn off the phone but not the thing of the volume buttons (i'll try). Indeed i understood that if i don't have the MTK drivers installed i cannot flash the ROM because my phone cannot be recognised by the pc.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
You need mtk drivers, but on this phone in addition to previous mtk phones

You also need to press both volume buttons before pressing "download" on SPFTOOLS, otherwise it won't detect the phone

When the flashing starts ( download bars, you can then released the volume buttons )

Also , since your coming from KitKat, you need to use "UPGRADE MODE" on SPFTOOLS

Cheers, good luck

PS: The volume thing, is to put the phone into download mode ...
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] buby93:
yeah, but i don't understand why the installation of drivers fails. and can u give me the link to the last version of SPflashtool?

If you wish, there's a newer kernel and baseband.

The newer kernel is just for those with brightness issues ( a second driver ).

Will be all included on newer releases

The baseband is pretty much the same
