Personally I don't like vfat nor exfat all that much, but, it seems hard to use another filesystem (say ntfs or any ext{2,3,4}) with vold as 1st external SD partition. With one exception: f2fs which, for now, I prefer (and use on my S4). Of course, such also needs kernel (and recovery) support.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] HilariousMustang:
Can anyone help ?

It started last week on my S3 (strange enough, my friend has G4S and the same problem) - the contacts started to load very very slow - I have some shortcuts on my screen (with contacts) - I press a shortcut, the screen then goes kind of greyish (but transparent) and I wait - 15-25s and the contact information appears, then I press the number, and another 5s and the call is made.

When someone is calling me, for first 10s I can see only the number, after that the name and photo appears.

I tried to delete all the contacts and upload them again - did not help.

Has anyone had the same problem ? I'm running 4.4.4 (S3S 20150507-083407); I have not installed any applications etc, it just broke out of the blue.

I think this is the problem of some updates, but I don't know which ones. I tried to downgrade gmail and google play but it did not help.

Anyone ? :confused:

Big problem ;(. Not charging on usb-cable when the phone is switched on. When the phone is turned off - charging is working. OTG works. Phone - S3S with 3Gb (S3SW 20150314-141844).

How to solve this problem?

At first, everything worked. Put a new sd-card, connected to a computer - connect to a computer via usb and charger are not working ;(.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ProTechShark:
That happens on one cable I have that I got from a kindle. The Jiayu cable that comes with it works fine, try that.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] magicwolf:
Thank you very much! I've tried different cables (original too) and computers (64/32 bit, Win8.1/7), unfortunately, charging and usb not working. I did factory data reset - does not help ;(.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Meg4mi:
Hi,

Since i've installed this rom my internal storage is mounted as "sdcard1" and my external sd card as "sdcard0".

This is a bit annoying since every application will often write to sdcard0 even when internal storage has been choosen into settings/storage.

Any idea how to change that (mounting point) ?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] K4cK:
I have the same problem as the poster over me. Sdcard0 and sdcard1 is swapped.

I tried to install xposed framework. It is booting up if you flash the zip directly after flashing the room but if you first install more apps, phone will end up in boot loop where is just showing the screen for loading apps into cache. In both cases the framework will not boot at second boot up.... Would be great if anyone could find out how to boot that xposed framework with 5.1. Another thing is that infrequently loose 4g connection and data connection at the same time.

Thanks for all the hard work

Yeah, i recommend this one, if you (or anyone else) is still on KitKat

But:

Just keep in mind it's an R.Candidate ...

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
Sounds like a major breakthrough!

What do you mean with 64bit flashtools?

All I have is an (old) 32bit windows XP netbook I used to successfully flash with flashtools so far...

Or shall I better try flashtools for my 64bit Linux box?

---------- Post added at 03:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 AM ----------

Actually I never changed audio settings in engineering menu so not everybody :)

But then, I have no complaints.

Still, for my (and perhaps others) information: what do you change there (there is a lot to tune)?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] lolemenos:
Trying it for 30 mins everything works great plus the touchscreen bug still happens but not that much it used before. I flashed with the classic Sp flashtool

so very wrong...LOL...at the moment Club1941.Com is selling the S3s 3GB version for $189 before discount,i think they have a 10% discount voucher available which you can use with this or any device from their store

delivery was awesomely quick

ordered on the 12th feb,delivered on the 24th to UK...that is record time from china for me especially during the new year celebrations,device arrived in full working order was well packaged plus screen protector,a shame they did not provide headphones...but i have so many anyway it doesn't really matter

Maybe the price have went down now. But when I wrote my answer, the price was that high. Of course it will over time be much cheaper, and in the start the price will be set high. In the start the 2GB version was $189, so the 3GB version at the same time would naturally be higher. But that they are so much cheaper now is of course just great!

Anyone tried Google cardboard with this phone?

My cardboard just arrived today, and after some testings I found out that the left and right images are too far separated and can't be overlapped properly to produce the 3D effect, maybe due to the 5.5 inch screen size.

After some messing around I figured out a workaround. I installed this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nomone.resolution_changer&hl=en

and set the screen resolution to 1440 X 2560, 480 dpi. Now the images can be joined properly and the 3D effect is awesome. Don't forget to set the default resolution back after using the cardboard because in this resolution icons become smaller and wallpaper is distorted.

The magnetic ring doesn't work though, still looking for a solution.
