I'm sure it isn't actually losing the power, the battery percentage is just glitching. Try charging it to full, completely draining the battery then charge it to full again.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] motanbigcat:
Thanks, I'll try your advice, but recharge to 100% is taking also about 3 hours time after this loosing.

What dotn works property:

- flashlight

- dual sim (only one sim work property)

- i dont know how to install google play store, even with root

-
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ProTechShark:
You can install the past store by downloading a play store package zip file and flashing it through recovery. I am assuming you have recovery. Google for lollipop 5.1 gapps.

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

I hope s3s gets the beta, I know this current beta is REALLY buggy (look at the needrom comments section) but it should soon be stabler. I'm also really glad they skipped 5.0.2. Ya know we got lollipop 5.1 official before the moto g 2014 (they are still on 5.0.2) I think Jiayu deserves a bit of praise for that :D :D :D
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] dromaczek:
The problem with google play store i have cause i dont have reorvery custom (like twrp), i rooted it without reorvery, i unlock bootloader via boot in flashboot mode and root with fastboot-windows.exe

p.s. sorry for my bad english

p.s. dual sim works property, poblem was cause after flash i had imei problem, change imei problem gone
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kommando:
Mine was loosing 20% after a reboot, just reboot after a short charge would put it back to the proper %, its not the battery that's at fault.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
This 5.1 lollipop build is like i said, PREVIEW.

Its not aimed to be used on an daily basis.

This build must be flashed as "firmware upgrade" via SPFtools, or else you may loose your IMEI, thus causing issues with Telephony (RIL).

The following weeks will bring further news.

PS: US Users, Can you check if you saw any improvements on your 4G Network(s) ?

Wish this device had better graphics but alright. Guys have you noticed a bit of increased touchscreen sensitivity? Sometimes my touches are counted as little swipes. Kinda annoying when playing some games..
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ProTechShark:

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] lolemenos:
So sorry bothering you guys but I am suffering this problem :

When I touch the screen (for example in order to open a link in chrome) like 10% of the time, the phone instead of touch recognises a small slide.. This way I need to click the link again in order to work. I am not having a screen protector on just the plastic case they sent me with the phone.. I am using twrp 2.4.6.0, the only thing I changed with the stock rom. Do you guys have this kind of a problem? It gets really irritating.. Apart from that phone works awesome..perhaps it could be the smart gestures I have on?

Does the ROM work on the s3 advanced?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] patcruz:
Yes... I have the same issue. That was the first thing I noticed when powered on the phone.

It's more perceptible in some apps than in others. For example tinder and tap titans is almost impossible to hit a "tap" on the first touch. On facebook or google+ it only happens when scrolling...

I learned to live with it, but it still hurts me a little... =)

Don't know if its a fault device or just a kernel/settings problem.

I'm not sure, but as far as I know every service provider is supposed to send callerID with country prefix ( even if the caller is local). I understand that it is not an answer to Your question, but this is why I store each of my contacts' number with prefix.

In the other hand I found such problem when GravityBox is active and the visualID is not set.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ProTechShark:
HOW SOON??? HOW SOON???
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
Hi

You should understand that Android LL 5.1, is very new.

Most newer devices are still being released with 5.0 / 5.0.1/ and 5.0.2 ( very rare).

The few other devices equiped with this same SoC that got LL , received the LL buggy version ( 5.0 ) , this first Lollipop release is very buggy and does have very nasty issues on memory leaks and even on security.

So, like said, better to wait a bit more but instead of getting buggy builds, you get the most up-to-date Google OS available.

Cheers
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kommando:
I had 5.0 on a Nexus 10 and it was very buggy and the memory leak was the worst bug, its been on 5.1 for a few months now and is a different beast and very stable.

Jiayu-store won't sell the 3 GB version at that price. They sell the 2 GB version at $ 189.99, won't make any sense if they sell the 3 GB cheaper. Before the 2 GB version available, they listed it at $ 149.99, and when it's available they changed the price.

I choose free shipping. The item will be delivered by the post office. They ship it from singapore. It took only 2 weeks to arrive, which is quite fast for a free shipping. No tax. Don't choose other methods like dhl, tax is a certainty.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] aliya.dicaprio:
Wow you're so lucky!! [emoji2] I read about some people who bought smartphones from other country they had to pay tax, and the tax amount may beyond the phone real value.. I heard that it's no use to declare lower value because the tax officers may check the package.. But because you can 'escape' the tax.. I think I'll follow your shipping method [emoji13]

Did you ask the seller to lower the value, or declare it as a gift, or what? Please enlighten me [emoji2]
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] elkosith:
I did't ask the seller to declare it as a gift or state a lower value, they did that themselves.

This is the second time I ordered a phone from Aliexpress. The first one was a fake Mi4 (I got decieved by the seller, but managed to get a refund) and I didn't need to pay tax also.

I still have a tablet on the way. It has arrived at Jakarta and I think I need to pay tax for this one, because I checked on the shippment status the item is being held by the custom. I guess it's because the seller declared the real price for the item's value. Its price is $75, beyond the $50 tax free limit.

Once I had to pay tax for some headphones that were shipped by DHL. They were declared as samples with $50 value, but the customs estimated the price themselves and calculated the tax from it. So, never use DHL.

just to be sure: check your contract, check your carrier 4G availability, and check you carrier 4g working bands...

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Schranzfreak:
with my i-device i have lte so its not the question of availability.

the avaible band here should be 800 mhz (B20 (EU DD - 800))
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Metrino:
the band is supported... enter in engineering mode and verify the entry is checked.

This phone is already rooted. The new rom I believe takes the root away. Is there any way I can use this ROM but load gapps. I a new to this and don't want to root again the device later after flashing with the European ROM. I would be much easier to add GAPPS.

Any advice before I Jump in the deap end'

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
hi

i don't understand what you mean by "baseline" , but prety much this works like this:

Official support from Mediatek sends the base sourcecode to the OEM (Jiayu), then the OEM adds their customizations (if any), and patchs (if any).

In this case the bug concerning the LL preview not booting on the 3+16 variant, came from Mediatek.

I don't know, NewUI is made and supported from The Chinese OEM / 3rd party group.

I never worked on that rom variant.

The Stock is always much better, usually interface mods (like the NewUI) always brakes other things, and the aditional layer(s) interface, will always consume more resources ...
