What languages are supported but this phone ?

Where did you buy it from ?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] cmullen:
Buying, OS Languages, HW Stability

I bought phone from the Jiayu Store website. Just Google Jiayu Store. I don't remember a version that had the Google Play Store app on it, but look for it as it would make life a little easier.

You can add Google Play Store (if you can only buy the virgin S3) via a link on the News tab at the Jiayu store website. You will need to download an unrar apk app from the internet - obsiviously not from Google Play store as you don't have that yet.

Google store runs and seems OK except for unexpected crashes after it adds and update apps. Play Store always restarts so the only hassle is the crash notice screen and you having to tap OK.

The phone runs Android 4.4.x so all languages support by this OS version is the answer. It is a huge list as Android is an internally recognized OS. It would be easier to list what languages are NOT supported - as this would be a small list.

The AnTuTu benchmark does run now an the phone - sometimes. It runs now at least half the time, but when it does lock the benchmark app it is always during the 3D graphics test. When completed the AnTuTu Jiayu S3 scores are from 38,000 to 40,000. Since the benchmark # change and sometimes lock the app I now think it is more likely intermittent bad hw. Seems a cop-out reason from a sw guy though.

Can someone recommend a good (pre-OS load) boot loader backup restore app for the Jiayu S3?

These apps are accessed by holding keys down during the boot process and allow a complete backup and restore.

I used to use TWRP on a Samsun S2.

If someone could recommend an app, where to download app and how to install app as a boot app without bricking your device.

nfc chip

what nfc chip is in 3GB Jiayu S3 Phone ?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] MichelN:
Thats what he said

SWS = No google apps support, installing manually would probably fail because you need the google frameworks and some other google service to get it properly running. To avoid frustration you should use the SWSW.

SWSW = With google apps. The W behind it it stands for With. Adilrenzu is right about this one

I dont understand what "Flakey" means, please update me about that one :good:

These are official too right ? rom4 would be better

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] cacan031:
[MENTION=2271351]michein[/MENTION], there's no "ROM4" for S3 advanced [3GB version] and forget about ROM numbering in general, please read initial post in this thread. If you have S3 advanced [with 3GB RAM and NFC] you should install ROMs that are related to that device, as you might lose support for NFC and run into some other issues with your phone.

For "S3 advanced" you'll find official ROMs here: http://www.needrom.com/download/s3s-nfc3gb-ram-2015-02-13/

Look at ROM name and look for S3S and S3SW.

"S3S" ROMs in general lack support for Google apps. There are some GoogleApps packs and instructions on how to install them on S3S ROM, but that results in constant crashing of Google apps, contacts sync is not working, Google Services don't work, etc...

"S3SW" ROMS have Google apps preinstalled correctly, there is no crashing, contacts sync works flawlessly, and everything works fine.

To cut it short - if you want working Google Apps and Google Services on your Jiayu S3 advanced [3GB, NFC] device - flash S3SW ROM from here: http://www.needrom.com/download/s3s-nfc3gb-ram-2015-02-13/

Just like many of us, I also bought device from Jiayu-Store.com and received device with S3S firmware, and followed some instructions I got from their support on how to install GoogleApps. After I did exactly as instructions said - Google Play was installed, worked [and was crashing all the time], but there were no Google Services - I couldn't sync contacts, calendar, etc... So I read this thread [with a lot of confusing info and mixing of 2GB and 3GB ROMs, etc, etc... ] and finally found out that perfect stock ROM for S3 advanced device [with working Google Apps and Services] is S3SW: ROM1: RC_mt6752_h560_s3sw_jyt_cc_128-24_kk_lte_5m-cs_mul_tphone_20150213-171816_songlixin_PC

I've flashed that ROM and the phone works perfectly!
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] MichelN:
It's very clear to me, the S stands for advanced edition and the W for google service

S3 and S3W = 2 GB version (Basic) (S3 has no google apps / S3W has)

S3S and S3SW = 3 GB version (Advanced) (S3S has no google apps / S3SW has)

The 2GB version has no NFC and the 3GB does, so i am not confused or something. I know what i am talking about here. So flashing a 2GB rom on a 3GB phone is not smart i know (NFC wont work then, probably you end up with a brick). The problem you faced is because you did not have the google frameworks installed and some other services that google play needs, google contacts and so on. I owned a chinese device before and i know how this works. See here -> http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=22246&page=3#pid455541

Also if there is no "official" rom4, why is it listed here under official http://www.needrom.com/download/jiayu-s3/

Hi , I have a Jiayu S3S with the firmware: S3S 20150324-194940

It didn't bring any google apps, so I had to install google store. Google store is working pretty well, the problem is google apps like gmail or calendar which I'm failing to sync.

When I try to sync Gmail it says. Unkown problem from Google Play Services. When I try to open the Google Calendar it says: We're sorry, Google Play Store was interrupted.

Any tips?

Also I found a few things that I don't know if it's just me or it's normal for everyone.

1st: The Contact List, we cant edit contact names or delete contacts.

2nd: The portuguese translation is really bad, just half o the transalation is done, and there's lot of protuguese from Brasil in there.

3rd: There's any problem with the 3G/4G service? I couldn't yet connect to 4G and the 3G is very very slow.

4th: Radio antena catch a very few frequences.

5th: It's not possible to have the cellphone in English, and keyboard in portuguese or any other language.

6th: I can't find the NFC where is it? xD

Thanks in advance.

1. for all Gplay services flash S3SW ROM version (see above discutions)

3. try this link and see your coverage.

5. is possible , but at me work with other keyboard.

6. at Settings have NFC option to put on/off but for use you need apps like this.

Turn off your phone (I always also remove the battery)

"Press F9 (hit Download button)" OR " if upgrade ROM Firmware->Upgrade"

insert battery again

connect your phone into the computer via USB data cable.

Is the cellphone supposed to be off right? Because when I hit download, then I connect the USB cable to the cellphone, but nothing happens.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ionutz72:
Ask in this forum.

Maybe you dont have install drivers properly.

BTW at me worked with not removed battery.

Select the scatter file in downloaded ROM, turn off the phone,hit Download button,open the phone,wait, and Voila! All was ok.

All will happens when open the phone I think. Not remember exactly how as I did that....

Battety life

So after reading some comments about battery life it seems that my battery is really bad.

It can make barely 4h SOT with maybe brightness on 60-70% slider and that is through 18-20h standby time. If I am much outside and pump up brightness it barely lives 10h standby and 2.5h SOT.

I heard some people are talking about 7h SOT, how can you get that much?

Here are my settings, WiFi and mobile data (auto/4G) are always ON, autorotation is ON, and device Location is ON, brightness usually between 50-70%, auto sync: 2 google accounts (calendar, keep, contacts, gmail), facebook, messenger, whatsapp, viber and besides that using phone mainly for surfing, youtube, InternetMessangers and PhoneCalls.

I don't use any Greenify and such apps.

Can anyone rate if it is normal battery consumption, how to reduce it and tell me your average battery life :)

Cheers!

Edit: what battery do you recommend?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kenturky:
I would recommend this Konpson battery. It's around 9 bucks from aliexpress. It's heavier than the original by 5 grams which means it has the extra capacity. So yeah, this one is worth the money. I ordered 4 as I have a separate battery charger for charging a spare battery, so I wouldn't have a problem as I can just flick new one.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
No problems on the current source ROM, or on rc4 for me .

I can't really say ,don't know

Would you believe if I told you, we already spent so much time around the modems ? .

Currently rc4 haves a modem that is the most up to date ( even more than official .cn NewUI ), rc5 will have the same newest modem , but with another source Fix's

Concerning 900mhz if its really broken, than its been since LP .

This band is there on the source and seems to be active... ( ???)

Choose format all, if you wanna damage the device

Choose download to properly flash

This is definitely interesting .

Thanks

Hi,

Just download the latest version of the LL version of Xposed (see XDA Thread: [OFFICIAL] Xposed for Lollipop/Marshmallow)

I installed xposed-v74-sdk22-arm64.zip without any problem. (that was the version I had on my sdcard) and afterwards I flashed v79 (latest version).

Installation is just through recovery.

Other question I won't be able to answer.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ASW1:
Of course I believe you :good:

That is very interesting.

I have repeated what you did, and after disabling all bands except the 900mhz band, I no longer have 3G. (so basically no 3G over 900)

With only 900mhz enabled and doing a netwerk scan, only 2G networks shows up. (my sim doesn't support 4G)

Just to be sure, I did the reverse too: I disabled 900mhz only, and then 3G works.

I am not on RC4 but have an older modem. Is it possible that the modem in RC4 is working now with 900mhz?

You are using RC4 right?

Even without an APN 3G should still be visible in a network scan, which rules out that the APN can be responsible for the broken 900mhz band.

The modem included in RC4 is behaving the same way as the one in beat 10 (and RC1 also) : loosing the connection from time to time.

This morning, I did loose the connection for more than an hour !!!

So I always flash back this one : Modem 5.1 v39p8 + BT + 4g

It always solves my problem.

I did try to see its behave with 3G 900 and it works perfectly in my area.

Exactly. That does the trick for me also. And for (many) others.

I talked with Superdragon and Derteufel several times but they have no idea why this is. Its an early LP modem. I think it was in German-rom beta 1 to 3 and in 4 it changed to start not working anymore...but such a long time.
