[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] TheCityAndTheStars:
The problem could be that if you receive a phone with hardware issues you will be asked by pay pall to return the phone before you receive the funds back.

Plus you will have return shipping and customs expenses.

I didnt see advanced s3 nowhere on the internet for less than $215 and that for presale.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] oscarblue48:
That's true but the same applies to any purchase you make from China, I think we all know there's an element of risk involved, paying with paypal does minimise the risk, you have a good chance of getting your money back if you receive nothing at all, this will be my 4th chinese phone and so far I've had no major problems
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] TheCityAndTheStars:
My point was that with such low, unreal price, the risk is rising drasticlly.

The above makes things worse when talking about the model that is sold as soon as it arrives in stores. I suspect that there is no many resellers in China that have actual stock of S3 3GB at this moment.

Yes, they advertise it in stock but no actual stock in most places.

I just restart to the phone and it fixed it and it come back the next day after a few good calls without a problem.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] oscarblue48:
I think probably [MENTION=6369591]TheCityAndTheStars[/MENTION] is right and this is most likely a scam, when I ordered mine, no details appeared in my account on their website, so I emailed them and I was asked to place the order again by western union, they said that was the only way to get the data into the account, I refused to re-order and sent them details of the item I ordered and my delivery address, today, still nothing appears in my order history and I have no order number. I rang paypal and they confirmed they will give me my money back but cannot do anything for 7 days, when I mentioned they asked me to order again by western union, that set the alarm bells ringing and the agent said she would report it to her supervisor for further investigation, so will have to wait and see, hope I'm wrong but I fear we may have been duped:crying:
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Venael:
Many of people i know made their purchases without any problems using PayPal in this store, so it really might have been problem only you had or some strange accident. If it was me I also would never pay them via WU, but concerning it's their second way of paying it shouldn't be that much suspicious that they suggested using it. BTW, order info at my account appeared when I payed for this, before it was only item at my shopping card, unlikely to aliexpress where your order appears as made but not paid.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] thewell:
Hello, I just joined after a) spending quite a bit of time looking for a phone and store, and b) reading this thread and how it's developed around club1941. I'd already found the store via YouTube thinking tgtbt before I read mrsim's post , and it was that glowing testimony which persuaded me to go ahead. The purchase appeared in my account, tracking number sent then confirmed by PayPal, and 'item' listed as posted at Singapore post-so something must be on its way! On online ' chat', I was told PayPal was the advised method of payment, no mention of moneybrokers , which I guess is the no.1 m.o. for scam sites. If it is a scam, they're going to know that there will be a heap of disputes if we all used PayPal. I remain a bit twitchy about it, hoping PayPal has everything covered, but if it is a scam, explain how mrsim wasn't taken for a ride.

I just flashed superdragonpt 5.1 beta 3 and it seems to be stable. Here is some feedback:

1. the autobrightness takes a while to adjust. In 4.4.4 this was faster.

2. If you turn down the animationscale from 1 to 0 in the developer options and you place some icons together in one map. The map sometimes stays white (you cant see your applications icons in that map but they are there).

3. The sim is detected very fast but it takes a while to connect to gsm/3g/4g.

Very happy with this build. I will test furher.

I am running the latest beta 23.06 with xposed and viper sound. You just need to install gapps, viper, xposed, supersu through twrp 2.7.

If you play games while using the phone, yeah it will take longer to charge. I bought 3 extra batteries and the third battery was coupled with a battery dock. Charging the phone via the battery dock itself takes 3 hours and 50 minutes. So literally, it takes 4 hours to charge.

Someone told me on other forum to try s3s rom from 11 of april (find on needrom) and voila call quality perfect now,dont have any problem with anything so far.Ovcourse need to install twrp after flashing couse no gapps was there but installed via twrp[emoji1] phone telling me there is a ota update on this rom but I will dont update couse all is working like a dream.This is good phone, updates are very often.

Edit: I do not suspect it is a bitcoin miner, even with miner in the apk name. While running it did not consume any battery, or increase battery consumption. If it is a miner, it might only run when charging.

Please read carefully my post.

I didn't say that from ROM 4.4 I flashed recovery.img via Flastool.

It's obvious because scatter/partition is different.

I said that in Italy forum was reported that to work with some LP recovery you have

1. From KK flash LP TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery via flashfy or other tools

2. Flash via Flashtool (mode FIRMWARE UPGRADE) LP ROM 23.06.2015

3. From LP ROM flashLP TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery via falshfy or other tools

If you didn't make recovery LP recovery prepartion ( step 1), when you install LP stock ROM 23.06.2015 and tred to install TWRP recovery didn't work,

My question is;: why didn't make 1 step rpepartionr TWRP 2.8.70 recovery didn't wirk (TWRP recovery 2.8.6.0 by Teamforce instead work without step 1).
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
I have seen it as well. I was abroad and at first sight I thougt it came with the foreign (France) provider app but I deleted it.

Then, as previoulsy mentioned, there also is com.android.fallen.apk in /system with TitaniumBackup properties app_gui_label "data_gospel avt0589835318". I kind of not trust it... Anybody else noticed?

For now I froze it and cleared its data and cache.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
honestly i cant understand even a word that you are trying to say.

in your first post you asked any specific procedure to load TWRP 2.8.7.0, i told you to flash it with rashr.apk not flashify not mobile uncle tool. as i have succeeded with rushr on my phone.

tell me short and sweet what you want to do.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] bovirus:
[MENTION=3731269]adilrenzu[/MENTION]

Sorry but my previpus post was quite clear.

Starting from KK ROM, if you flash directly LP ROMs tock 23.06.2015 then only TWRP recovery from Teamforce can loaded and be operative-.

If you try to load TWRP 2.8.7.0 via Flashtool (DWONLOAD ONLY),, Flashfy or orther tools, this recovery didn't works.

For that I asked if there a specifc steps/procedure to have TWRP 2.8.7.0 by hunama working after flashed LP ROM stock.

As I said, we discovered that TWRP 2.8.70.works only if you flash it BEFORE to load LP ROM stock (from KK).

And for that i asked becuase other recovery (like TWRP 2.8.6.0 by TeamForce ) worked fine without special procedure and TWRP 2.8.7.0 require theese steps.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
i dont know i had TWRP 2.8.6.0 before when i flashed 2306, after few days on lollipop rom, i flashed 2.8.7.0 TWRP through rashr without any errors.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] bovirus:
[MENTION=3731269]adilrenzu[/MENTION]

Is not the same situation. You have already a previous version.

Please read carefully my posts.

If you follow the steps (from KK to LP) you got theese results (tested by several users in italy).
