Wow, thank you for this. I haven't checked audio on jiayu.de rom until now, when I realized how poor it sounded. This fixed it.

Despite that and other small things, quite ok rom.

Any news on TF Android team? I hope they release a stable, bug free rom, that's why they take their time.

Thanks for the response. Jiayu forum use baidu and I cant get it to download. Googled it and nothing. The jiayu forum does have a mega nz link but it requires a decrypt key. I'm a smart guy and can't find it.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kenturky:
Guys, I guess the 15% bug is definitely a battery problem. Some guys who aren't facing the battery problem must be having genuine batteries. I bought my battery from aliexpress at around $6 to 7. I'm not sure if you guys bought some batteries at a similar price.

On KitKat, the bug was from 5% to 0%. On lollipop, it starts at 16% for me even on the 5.1.1 ROMs.

Anyway, there is a 3600mAh battery for the jiayu s3 on aliexpress, and its $8.99. The seller has 3 diamonds seller rating. And 97% positive feedback. I'm assuming the battery is genuine. People have ordered it, but no feedback as yet. You guys think this battery has 3600mAh capacity or is it some fake battery out there?

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] haasgo:
I do not think its is related to wether the battery is genuine or not...this problem seems very generic.

I mean phone states that after 6h of SOT and over 24h of standby I still have 20-25% left. That just seems wrong (not that superdragonpt and DerTeufel1980 wouldnt do a great job). The indicator, as I would assume, is whacked.

I would say the indicator in reality just goes from 0-85% in reality, where 0 is 0% and 85 is 100% on the indiator. There seem to be some steps missing to follow the right battery stats. Cant say more, I just experienced this myself where suddenly my phone battery percentage dropped from 22% to 11% in approx. 5 minutes.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kenturky:
Wow. You actually get 6 hours SOT? I barely make it to 4 hours. I have whatsapp, Facebook, and some weather apps running in the background along with 3g data on throughout the day, I max out at 3 hours 45 minutes till the battery is 20%.

Since you say it's an indicator problem, do you think that is hardware, kernel, or software related?

What about camera2 api?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kenturky:
And there is something wrong with the lollipop battery chart. Why is there a blank space?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
On this device?

Not feasible at all!

Only the S6 and S6 edge, are the only two devices to my knowledge that takes VERY LIMITED support of CAMera API #2.

No devices til this date, fully supports CAMera API #2...

Plus, on this SoC, where besides AOSP based sources, with MTK necessary own merges, it complicates things a lot ...

Im not even sure how it fully works (well i know the theory, but implementing ?)

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] nagyra:
That's not exactly true. There are only few phone with full Camera2 API support, but there are more with limitations.

(I cannot post links yet, so google for "Camera FV-5 - Current state of manual camera controls")

I think we could be very happy with RAW capture (DNG) feature because the Sony IMX214 (the same in OnePlus One what is supported) is quiet good but the current libs aren't capture quiet good images...

But if I think right, with the available MTK sources this is almost impossible project :D

So I had the problem that my phone wasn't recognized in USB, neither from phone, recovery or preloader anymore. Wondered if it was a bad cable or damaged internal USB board. So I flashed Beta5 with AROMA SPFlash v11 and now I'm stuck at Jiayu.de bootlogo.

Can phone not be recognized because of software problem? Any idea what I could try to do?

Edit: I was on 20150714 5.1 before flashing.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Metrino:
[MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION]

first of all I'd like you implement some kind of settings saving on camera app.

Now I'm on original Jiayu LP and I find white balance on "sun light" instead of auto, and sharpness on mid whilst I'd like to have on low.

Conversely, about flash, it retains last picture settings, whilst I prefere to begin with Auto, activating / deactivating it when I need.

I'd like to save my standard settings, I mean.

To improve picture quality, the first setting I'll check is sharpness: low value is good, mid and high is instead too heavy, zooming pictures you see some kind of "washed" bounds. This is valid for lightened scenes. For low light / night scenes noise is present , sharpness is necessary.

About front camera, you can take a picture of A4 paper sheet under sun light, and analyze it by using a PC photo viewer / editor. you should see a violet dominance, and you should find the values to correct them.

If you are still stuck after using my tool have you wiped dalvik and cache - also if you have flashed userdata using it then you may have to reformat userdata with recovery (sometimes a SPFlash userdata.img is just a small sized .img and userdata doesn't expand itself to full - causing a stall as there isn't enough space for dalvik/art)

I usually use my Win7 computer but it is not a driver problem, my USB is not recognized regardless of recovery/system/bootloader and I don't have the USB icon showing when I plug the phone to a computer.

While charging...

Using lollipop 5.1.1 v.4 and had dropped issue
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Metrino:
Using battery monitor widget

Static values

Min 3.400 V

Max 4.318 V

Dynamics at full charge

However, at full charge, it looks like the smartphone suffers some kind of battery drain, there is no trickle charge, and voltage drops down to 4.220 V while keeping percentage at 100% . Keep in mind that the phone is still connected to the charger and it's in plane mode. In the same time, if I take the phone to do something, than I wake up the display , I notice a slight battery drain followed by new charge until maximum voltage

Dynamics at low charge

I really don't know, I don't understand

Check the picture. Don't care about battery drain, it's (badly) estimated. Missing data is probably due to shut down, maybe my son was playing hard... left yellow lines mean display was turned on, green lines mean the phone was under charge

Ok, Win 7 PC. I don´t think, that something is wrong with the USB sideboard of the S3 as long as it charges. Do you use

the original jiayu wire? It´s a good idea to have another wire also.

Let´s start from the beginning. Switch off the S3. Connect the wire. Try every USB port of the PC. Something happens?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adridu59:
Yes I use the original one.

No nothing happens, I have tried with 2 computers (Win7 and Win8), on both I have tried with/without drivers and no luck. I noticed that before the phone would spend 2-3 seconds doing nothing (with Preloader popping up on PC) before vibrating and going into charging mode, and now I feel like it just vibrates and goes to charging right away.

Also last week-end I tried with the wire of my old phone (which plug a bit torn after years travelling…) and got nothing as well, but the plug isn’t brilliant on that one.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] 1testi:
If nothing happens on the PC with switched off S3 then you might be right. Looks like a problem with

I'm on XtremeRom, but I have this issue too. I cannot attach my screenshots (new users restriction or am I so lame?).

Anyway... Regarding these what if it isn't a software problem but it's a hardware problem? With using Battery Monitor Widget Pro app, I see a big slope in the VOLTAGE LEVEL and in the battery percentage between 25%-3645mV and 8%-3580mV but the percentage didn't dropped exactly from 25 to 8, just it was very fast decreasing, so what if something wrong with the batteries?

I don't know is it relevant, but my battery is not new, I bought the phone in March and the label on it is "3000-3100 mAh". According to a Hungarian S3 forum, someone bought a new original battery from Pandawill and the label on it is different, just "3000mAh". Maybe Jiayu changed something inside too?

Mic Issue

Last night I've demonstrated the video capture quality of the Beta4 ROM (not going to change it since Beta5 introduced the bad sound quality again) to a friend still using stock KK. Captured two videos - low and normal light.

This morning I made a call and the other side complained about hearing me as if I was on speaker away from the device plus echo. I've remembered about the mic swap bug after video recording and asked to call back in a minute. Rebooted and when I made the call my friend told me that he can hear me perfect now.

Batter Drain Bug

[MENTION=4196889]DerTeufel1980[/MENTION], [MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION],

Luckily I've noticed the drain bug in time so I can give you some feedback.

I'm attaching an archive with screenshots. I hope you can extract some info from them. If not - you can always give me a hint here or with PM what info do you need and what I need to do to provide it.

I woke up the phone at 47%, wanted to check my email. Then I've noticed that after reading two emails my battery was at 45%.

Started taking screens since the app showed consumption of around 60% per hour.

I did not use any apps except the battery monitoring ones. Even tried switching off Wi-Fi, GPS, adaptive brightness. Tried to make the phone enter deep sleep again (you can get it from the screens, the display was off).

Short after reaching 22% I've rebooted the device. Note the last couple of screens after the reboot. From mid 22% to 20% I've watched 10-15 min video with sound maxed out. The drain stopped after rebooting the phone.

Hope I've helped. As I've mentioned - I'm open to any feedback requests if I'm capable to help in any way.

Battery drop(5.1.1 v5)

Notice same here, battery drop depends from the usage=> if i play heavy online game it drops right away, if i'm reading something =>yesterday i did 0,5h OST on(5.1.1 v4)last night i was reading i got 2-3 h stand by, start reading on 14%to 12%about 10 min, and when i start video on you tube it dropped right away.

Battery chart:

100%-4,440-for a few seconds and drop to 4.230 on 100%

15%-3,650 - doesn't drop till 10%,then from 10%to 1% in matter of seconds.

10% 3.480 - when i played video dropped to 1%

1%3.250 or 3,410(sorry not so sure don't remember well)

Hope that is helpful.

One more thing 5.1.1 v5 is wonderful. Swaping back to internal memory main made it even faster and smoother. It is great option but only y if you have very fast SD card. That fixed some other bugs with the downloading(slow download) and some app crashes. The only other bug i found till now is HDR(made some screen shots few posts back) Thanks again for the GREAT work, you are the best!!!

P. S Sound -when i switch off besloudness, the sound is better than v4 but is still far from great.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] MadMicro:
This is very interesting. Could it be the phone thinks its 100% charged when in fact its only 80% . This could be because of the higher voltage in the battery while its connected to charger. When it uses 80% of a full charge it thinks its at 20% when in fact its at 0% and hence the sudden drop.

Could the charging pattern be of significance, I plug in my charger before sleeping and it is on charge ‘till I wake on average after 8 hours . So maybe your phone is relying on owner sleeping well….lol. could it could go the final 20% in the 4 hours after its fully charged

Still due to wrong calibration problem

All is perfect except that I cant get my computer to recognize the phone at all. I have all working cables I have connected it to another laptop and nothing. Since going LP my USB connection to my LP is Dead. I have turned on USB debugging. When I got settings>storage>Left button. USB computer connection comes up but is greyed out.

All of this worked perfectly on before. TWRP LP is installed and works fine. Is just the USB. Do I have to clear cache or something after the install?
