[MENTION=1678723]Teufel1980[/MENTION] Hello M.A.D. as you worte on FB i have one question. Do you get the dontaion from xda or is it not the good way becouse i only can say for me i have donate [MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION] but i can not follow if he gets it or not can we make some list to make sure that donation we make is get by yours ?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] DerTeufel1980:
It's fine to donate to him directly. I just can tell about donations, which are sent to me or the mad PayPal adress.

I guess if superdragonpt had received several donations (or few high ones) , he would have mentioned it to me and fire855.

Just don't feel forced to donate (again) :)

I did receive the USB board replacement. I only see two attachments from it on the phone.

But after removing them, how do I pull off the whole thing without breaking it? Is it glued? Never did such before..

Not sure if I've just bricked my phone or i'm just doing something wrong - Went to flash the 7.1 release on my phone, having never updated it beyond stock before. After a couple of troubles getting TWRP to install, I finally got an older release working and went to get started. I wiped everything, but then when I went to install the 7.1 zip it simply fails everytime, saying error executing updater binary.

Is it simply not possible to go straight from stock to 7.1? Should I have updated in steps?

edit: managed to recover from the soft brick by using SPflash to get Lollipop on there. Can I now go straight to 7.1 via TWRP?

editedit: so I went ahead and installed 7.1 without too many problems, I had to update my TWRP which I did through recovery, then was able to flash 7.1 without issue.

But now I can't flash Gapps as it keeps telling me the system partition isn't large enough? I didn't flash it at the same time as 7.1, I booted into that first and that might have been the wrong option I suppose
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Dior DNA:
If this is a JYS3 and stock was KitKat, I would perhaps recommend first flashing LP (say Jiayu.DE RC5) via SP Flash Tool "firmware upgrade". That way you are sure partition table is correct for LP MM and N.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] sohois:
You are correct, as that's what I had to do to get it to work again. I've now managed to get 7.1 and Gapps set up, and it's only minor bugs afflicting me
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Metrino:
Hard question.

I always used Llama app to automate some tasks since KK, for a lot of reasons (it's free, it can use NFC Tag and cell towers features, mainly).

Starting from LL (5.1) Llama doesn't read cell towers correctly. Given two locations 10 Km far away each other, with KK it recorded about 10 cell towers per location (just one per SIM at ones), with LL it records now just one cell tower ... the same for both zone! (5600515:222:99)

I'm on latest 5.1.1 RC5, baseband 2016/01/25

Automate from Llamalab shows something more, but it looks like it doesn't record cell change. The more, it does not consider just the cell I'm connected to, but every cell it founds, so I can't decide which ones are nearest and useful to locate position.

As sideline, it sucks too much battery power.

I still didn't try trigger, I remember it's not completely free (I need to pay for each "strange" feature I use).

Cell mapper shows two cells (I've got two SIMs) but no one is similar to 5600515:222:99

How can I let Llama works correctly? Or any free, working alternative?

MAD possibly on this phone? xD
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] sokolataki:
Well done vernee . That is must for any phone. Also M.AD is the best team. I am sure that that phone will have very good support. Maybe my next phone but I can't leave my jiayu s3.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] DerTeufel1980:
The problem I mentioned (maybe in an other thread still exists).

I got offered one Apollo for free for one of our team. That's great so far for sure... But what about the other two?

Ive got physical access to the phone at work, but I don't own it... My boss is not going to give free devices again, because it has been a big disaster on this device, with many (angry) discussions, why there is an ota app, which isn't free for everybody.

Currently, (also German) customers often by their vernee at gearbest, Amazon or eBay, just to contact us afterwards with their issues... And they're even angry if we don't give free support for them.

So, long story short, most people want to pay nothing, but get everything... I don't see how it could be possible to support the device like we do with the s3.

I am open for ideas though
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] smilie108:
[MENTION=1678723]Teufel1980[/MENTION] I think that more people will be buying in Germany when the devices wouldn't cost so much more then where others maybe you can connect other stores so they would sell it also about 20€ higher and give the more money to your group for the support or so it's only an idea don't know if it could work

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] DerTeufel1980:
But there's a logical reason why it is more expensive...

One of these is 19% taxes, the others don't pay.

Then there are fees for gema, recycling of electric equipment,...

Then, we're in Germany for real, and not just a hotline, which is linking to China.

Finally there's guarantee, which we actually really offer.

If you sum all this up, you'll notice there's not much of a difference...
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] smilie108:
Yes that is right but for this case it would be a good idea that this have to be comunicate to possible buyer how much the tax is and other things so it would be easier for buyers to verify for what they pay

[MENTION=4196889]DerTeufel1980[/MENTION]

well the things are not so complicated. If we are talking for an update that perhaps has security updates and in some way it means that the software I got with the device is "faulty", I believe should be supported for free to the public. If we have to do with an upgrade of the same device to a new version of the software my belief is that there should be a cost for that because we (the customers) knew the details of the device when we bought and did not agree -by paying and receiving the receipt- that the device has more potentials that the company is obligated to give out for free, which is somehow like buying a newer device.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
Honestly Apollo also failed to surprise me after the launch, it has some flaws, lacks NFC compared to ours, and audio from speaker is terribly weak. Mars otherwise looks good, but came overpriced with the P10 which isnt a upgrade. Btw at this time Vernee is the only interesting brand out there, we are flooded in a market of Elephones and Umis.

Its glued, detach the respective flats and they with it detached with care go removing the board, with maybe hot air to help with the glue.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] DerTeufel1980:
In your first example, it still should be supported for free by the manufacturer.

And you probably followed those lengthy discussions about paying for the ota app.

In the end, no one was really satisfied. Those who bought the app are angry that others are also receiving the software (just later), and the others are angry they received the update later...

I think OnePlus is the only company who did this properly, by hireing the developers of aospa (when it was a well known and widely spread custom rom).

If vernee (or any other company) would just give 1$/device they sell, they'd easily get the best community support (and I don't mean they necessarily need to pay us)...

For me it is not the thing to donate but I also cannot donate every month / the thing for your 3 is that you cannot plan with income the thing with the app was that it would was better that we can pay one time for it and get the following updates from the time the payment was the bad thing was that there was a lot of problems with the app

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
If a company like Jiayu/Vernee, and I mean the Chinese roots, for example properly hire, and I mean in example what you suggested, $1, $2 per sold phone, you guys like a development team directly for support, update and security patch their phones, a great part of consumers would instantly jump in. And consequently they phones would sell a lot. I would say, I bought this phone expecting only LP, it badly arrived if weren't for what you guys did. Then did a kind of support that I would never expect in a MTK, now even having a MTK, I can't see these phones with same eyes, it's like, can't jump in again without what I got with S3.

Nah, the guys who replaced it didn't glued it again, but its up to you, probably should be a remain of that tape, and you can fit it properly without looseness.

I have a replacement, but just a week before it arrive, my USB port started to work again...

What is the last working rom for S3s (advanced)?

working=Bluetooth, wifi+hotspot, no battery drain, no 15% battery bug, stable so I don't have to restart every day.

Now I'm using Kitkat 150813 but some stuffs got bugged wifi hotspot doesn't share internet and GPS constnatly drain my battery (google services to specify)

I'm waiting for global version for Xiami note4, but I want to test my Jiayu S3s for a few months to make sure it is working fine before I give it to my sister to use.

Battery drain is mostly a HW problem, this has already been discussed. I'd try with AICP 11 MM

If I were you, i would go to kickstarter and try to raise the funds by myself. To kick off the campaign, a story in the editorial section of XDA, a Posting on M.A.D. Facebook Page and a Press Release to gizchina and similar outlets should do the Marketing. Other (tech) Media might jump on the train as the story of three brave devs building the latest Open-source Android for a Chinese niche Smartphone Sounds interesting.

Well, it depends a bit on what you need. I personally need the VPN stuff a lot and this was taken out with new releases. Actually this is why I stick to TF Extreme ROM. I am not sure this is something caused by Google or the new ROM, but in any case I would want to have the original features available, rather than disappearing. Great work on N, no question on that, but so far no possibility to change for me, so I will wait for donations. Just speaking for my case here.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] DerTeufel1980:
Kickstarter really sounds like a good idea. I think we need to check the possibility of it.

I get your point. Basically (at least on 6.x) some vpn stuff got broken by Google. I did not check VPN on 7 yet. But if it is generally working fine on 7 again, we should get it as well

I'm looking into buying the Apollo lite, I'll gladly chip in 20-30 euros if that means a good stable ROM with all the bells and whistles with some maintenance releases (for security updates)

I like what you guys are doing, but please focus on one rom and not multiple ROMs of the variants there are out there like you guys did with Marshmallow.

Stuff like exFAT and good cpu governors are far more important IMO than theme support.

Just my 2 cents
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
Agreed, Vernee Apollo Lite didn't conviced me in the first reviews, but I should give a look again... Btw the problem with those reviews is that they are mostly overviews rather than real use experience, like the bigs like Flossy or MaxLee do for big oem phones..
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] nature boy:
Main issue for me is non-removable battery and very noisy low-light photos. I can live with battery if it's easy to open and replace (trying to figure that one out). Low light dunno how much it was fixed with post-reviews OTAs.

Big pluses are the 10-cores, dual channel memory and 4k and (hopefully) 1080p@60fps with HEVC encoding.

Some issues are being fixed already others will hopefully be fixed now that the source code is out. It's begging for some proper development, some developers are picking it up.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Bernie_W:
Very interesting, I will definitely try a second time. I had your stable1 already installed and was really excited about it. But I need this VPN for my office work, kind of even depending on it. And that was the only reason to turn back. If Google broke it then it is really sad, as I think it will not be working in any future versions (my guess). And the VPN clients on the market are somehow suspect to me, as you never know what they collect. And the VPN is just not working for IPsec Xauth PSK, the others seem to work as I read in this forum.

Please also note that I deeply respect your work and engagement, it was not to criticize anything. Maybe my last post sounded like that, but that would have been completely unintentional.

I still haven't managed to fix compass. I've tried 6-7 apps and calibration and it just doesn't show good North.

I've tried it on street to exclude nearby magnetic devices and still looks like faulty.

It has some positions where it's let's say precise but when I turn few more degrees it just jumps for like 70 degrees. which is by no means normal.

Also, just starts to spin uncontrollably sometimes.

I don't remember having problems earlier. But haven't as well used it so much earlier so I don't know what's happening.

Do you think this might be due to update to 0411?

Senior Member's Opinion

I would like to ask our Senior Members, and those of similar experience and knowldge, what they think about the Jiayu S3A phone.

All phones have hw/sw issue at release and I do not know how the S3A compares to iPhones, Sansung Galaxy's, HTC's, etc. There is so much to test on these smart phones I am amased at their complexity - e.g. WiFi hotspot works with 3g radio but not 4g radio.

If 10 is the the best rating, what would be the HW, SW and Value ranking compared to others?? State examples so we can get your answers normalized to other product(s):

E.g. iPhone 6 HW=10, SW=9, Value=4

S3A HW=8, SW=7, Value=8

TIA. Your knowldege and experience is appreciated and welcome.

Is there any way to improve that call quality ? :confused:

Is it worth to buy Jiayu S3?

Hello all

I am new here on this forum.

I managed to read whole thread, it took me three days.

Before that I was almost sure that I am going to buy this phone but now I am not sure. I want to buy Jiayu S3 advance with 3GB ram and NFC from geeksbuying for 180€.

My problem is that I am afraid of all those problems which were mentioned in this forum. My current phone is Sony Xperia U which is terrible phone, it is locked by my carrier so I cannot even flash custom rom for it. It laggs like hell and I cannot even use it for basic purposes. So I think that everithing I can buy now is better than my phone. But, average salary in my country is around 380€ so even this phone (Jiayu S3) is expensive for me and because of that I hesitate. So I would like to ask you wheter it is worth to buy this phone. I usually use my devices like computer, phone camera and so on until they die. So for me, this phone is purchase for 5+ years. Are those problems mentioned in this forum frequent or they just occur sporadicaly?

To sum up my questions:

1. Is the phone rock solid out of the box? (I do not need to change the ROM, I pretty like these Chinese android skins)

2. Is the buiild quality just OK, excellet or above average?

3. Are there any problems with usual apps from Google store, like MXplayer, Kingsoft office? What about Kodi, does it work?

4. So is it worth to buy this phone?

5. Finally are those problems mentioned in this forum frequent or they just occur sporadicaly?

Sorry for longer post and I hope that I do not bother or annoy you.

Sorry for my English I am not native speaker

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
When u buy a chinese phone, most probably it won't last the 5 yrs u mention. Mostly due to unavailability of service centres, spare parts, accessories.

But there are some chinese companies whose phones can go well beyong 5 yrs like XIAOMI, OPPO, and some other OEM'S.JIAYU is also coming up in standards especially with their s2.

Although the build quality of this phone isnt that bad but still i have my doubts regarding it, such as the presence of gorilla glass 3, Stereo Speakers. Random flickering of screen.

As for the problems mentioned in this forum, i haven't faced any of them, so you can say that the problems somewhat on or off. Mostly the problems are software related which is good.

Everything on this phone works as it works on any other samsung or htc phone.

You will have to be sure to buy a chinese phone becoz most of the chinese phones are a gamble to buy.

My personal opinon, is that most of the chinese phones are good, but there is always an element of risk with these phones.

IT WILL WORK EITHER UPTO NIGHT OR TILL YOUR LUCK IS BRIGHT. ;)
