Hi all, start from yesterday I used lollipop from kitkat. Now I'm in extreme rom from TF, I found issues from this rom:

1. Automatic light display always not working properly.

2. Battery drop fast from 15% to 0%

3. Sometimes lag

4. I can't found setting to display number bytes of networking like KK.

5. Can't found setting shortcut on dropdown toolsbar.

6. Miravision still unstable

7. Notification from others except whatsapp, bbm, sms and miscall doesn't show

Guys, can you give me recomendation lollipop rom for daily? "Extreme rom" or "official lollipop with new UI" or "superdragonpt rom"... thanks
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] cmullen:
OK let me try to answer this one as it is complicated and there is nothing on the jiayu company web site that even with Google translate will tell us clearly.

- Only difference in KK factory ROMs designated. S and SW (ie., S3S or S3SW) are the S ROMs you have to install Google apps, gapps, separately as an app where SW ROMs have gapps already installed. There are easy installation procedures with links to add gapps.

- If you have an older model (antenna painted black, newer left unpainted silver under back cover top of phone) and have been doing OTAs updates to remain current you should be at 20150507, or the May 7th 2015 rev.

- If you have a newer phone then the current KK factory ROM for you is 20150812 or 3; =f(S, SW). Jiayu never released this ROM they just started installing them on the newer hw after the company reorg/buyout. This ROM seems to work on all hw but is problematic to find. Jiayu never published/posted this ROM or did but ROM requires a Chinese password. :( Most threads indicate no advantage to going to this ROM .vs. 20150507 ROM.

- Of course you would want to also install the jiayu.es app, tweak MIC settings in Engineering Mode and install TWRP to do full sys backups.

- LP ROMs from Jiayu are to be announced - we hope. Going to LP from KK (both Jiayu company ROMs) cannot be done via an OTA update as the change in OS rev requires modem/nvram updating. Therefore going to LP from KK (both company ROMs) will most likely require a Windows PC, special drivers, USB cable and detail procedures so you don't brick or lose IMEI #'s.

I am also very disappointed with this phone.Its causing me troubles since I got it. Very bad call quality and very bad camera also heats up easy. I bought my gf Siswoo c55 which half the price jiayu s3 and it has a lot more support than jiayu and everything works great she is very happy with it.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] HypoTurtle:
The partition resizing can be done without a PC; but the move from a KK ==> LP modem/nvram probably needs (at least optimally) the windows stuff.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] cmullen:
I am sorry to say but the Jiayu S3 and S3A is not a good phone for you. The S3 is allot of things but an "out of the box" working Galaxy or iPhone kind of phone for the non techie - uhmmm no.

For the money ~$200/230 S3/S3A you get an amazing peice of hw component wise and construction wise. Outside of possibly a thicker USB port solder to allow higher current charge rates the S3's are made very well and are quite the machine for the price. They do require effort with sw installs and settings to get the most out of the hw, so to speak. Therefore this phone is not really for the non techie.

Come on to mention the obvious here, its got it's own huge thread on xda-developer, doesn't that tell you something. If the phone hw was junk everyone would give up (I would) and this thread would have died. And some of the folks who post on xda (not me) write hw driver sw and compile their own OS ROMs, very very techie.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ShootyMcFace:
Will it Work in America?

I have been looking at S3A and was wondering if the phone works with GSM carriers in the US (T-Moblie, Ting, etc.). As far as I can tell, it should work, but I just want to be sure before buying it. Thanks.

I don't get the point of people crazy looking for this KK 12/08/2015 version coming in new models, it is obvious that this version is the exactly same 13/08 version available for everyone. No difference.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
And the latest KK rom (August), is actually worst ...

The new Internacional Model is exactly the same ...

Just with some minor design diffs (new factory), it's the same as the "old" model ...

Now, the future is the S4

At present S4 isn't a future with such small screen etc.

I know, phone still isn't announced and specs easily can be changed, but it is as it is.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] haasgo:
A pitty people already stick their hopes to S4. There is only one jiayu flagship for 2015 which is the S3. The S4 will lead 2016. Having said that I remember buying this phone with the "promise" of official lollipop...still, it is mid september, not fulfilled. I really hope jiayu does evolve. I for myself cant see me buying anything from jiayu in future as things are going to be honest.

I'm not agree weith you.

It's a good option for the price that it's.

No problem at all with KK ROM.

Please describe in detail what are you meaning (it's good only on paper).

You cannot say that without epxlain why.

[MENTION=2497222]viktorlj[/MENTION]

I know it.

It require a TWRP recovery installed.

The original archive with Flashtool file is more confortable for many users.

[MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION]

Which official LP ROM do you meaning?

If you are talking about TeamForce ROM is not coming from Jiayu but from a developer.

Please post detail about your ROM otherwise we cannot answer.

The latest ROM S3S 13.08.2015 and S3SW 12.08.2015 it's quite stable and without specifc bug.

Please post the info about your ROM.

Of course we are talking about sofwtare problem.

If your problem is an hardware problem you have to contact the reseller.

[MENTION=6719087]mrgbuzz[/MENTION]

Teamforce is not officialy Jiayu.

It's a software partner of Jiayu Spain.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] mze1:
Exactly I totally agree with you, I am very disappointed and pissed off that I have purchased the s3. They are still working on 5.1 and not even on 5.1.1 and marshmallow is just around the corner already.

They should just go ahead and release source code for the device if they even want to keep their current users...

MOD EDIT
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] bombilakus:
This was my first chinese phone and when i bought it i was under impression that Jiayu is good company but as the time passes i think i was wrong. I dont blame them tbh i blame myself for not doing research bout other companies that are better. Phone itself is ok and i would rather have it than my brothers Samshng S5 but samsung gets updates and roms on daily basis and we have to wait 3 months for a rom and thats a rom full with bugs etc.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] justnewsp:
Please stop comparing Jiayu phones with other phones like this.

How much did you pay for the Jiayu S3 and how much your brother pay for the Samsung S5 ???

All the people seem to forget the extremely low price, but the very good specs (not all, but some) of the Jiayu S3.

And about the updates: it was pretty obvious from the start that almost no Chinese phone will get 5.x updates as fast as the other brand phones.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] NetDaemon:
It´s the same procedure as two years ago with Jiaya G3. Jiayu never released an official Jellybean as promised. There were only some developpers, who tried to fix the bugs and/or ported roms from other devices.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] mze1:
Yeah that is exactly why they should release source code. Made a huge mistake by purchasing a device from jiayu..
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] viktorlj:
I don't know what people expects from lollipop? Last 3 year i was using only Nexus devices with latest android software. Now I use S3, and Nexus is in my desk. I'm not excited with lollipop anymore, in my opinion KK is better even on a Nexus line. Also, with every update on Nexus, there is some bug. At the other side, I payed 500 euro for last Nexus, and only 200 for S3. JY-S3 doing same thing as Nexus, same speed, plus i have FM, SDCARD and dual sim. For me, S3 is great device.

What's with all the bashing jiayu s3 is a great phone for 200 dollars its much better and smoother than my Asus transformer that cost almost 500 used
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Aussie_Oddball:
Guys.

I'm on kk s3w 20150325 and have been using this phone since march. I use it every day for business and its Gr8. I would of liked LL 5.1 by know by my phone works fine. I spent £116 ponds on it as opposed to £600 pounds for an apple. I have recently looked for a better Chinese replacement and apart from the one plus 2 I can't find one. Not that I am going to buy another phone. Everything's a trade off higher price, poorer specs, not dual sim. The Jaiyu 6 months on still amazing. Yes camera could be better, yes I hoped for LL by now. But come on its a phone not a car. :eek: If you don't like you phone sell it Apple could do with some more money!!!! I think this forum is full of amazing people who answer questions, create ROMs and do so freely. The latest example being the stagefright fix. If you hate you phone sell it and chalk it up to a life lesson. If you want help to improve your phone. Then this is the place to be. Remember though it's a phone not a Lambourgini ::what:
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] mrgbuzz:
Id say its stemming from users who bought on the promise of Lollipop being released and have not had a 100% official release of it yet. With TF Extreme having being released it is now increasing the animosity as Jiayu still haven't communicated when they will be releasing one.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] mze1:
We don't want their rom, we just want the source code... TF Extreme is going to work on that 5.1 which they have released while jiayu is still struggling to release 5.1. btw Xtreme rom I think its built on gcc 4.9 toolchain if I am not mistaken.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] tool88:
What did you expect for 200? If you are that unhappy sell it buy a phone off contract or a subdivided phone or get a iPhone, iOS is super smooth and fast but with a closed eco system. As far as the chip being a 64 bit I remember people saying the same thing about windows.

And why would you come to this XDA forum and all you contribute to it is how much you hate the phone, I come here mostly as an observer I like how people will post problems that they might have and you have people from all over the world offering help and people (much smarter than me) who might be cooking ROMs or build from source but doing this for free on there own time.

First of all it didn't cost me 200 dollars, it cost me about 220 euros.

MOD EDIT
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] haasgo:
Problem is, that if you have problems there is nobody to fix this cause they are not able or are not allowed to. This phone was sold with the promise of a official LL release (in january already).

Even if jiayu.de, jiayu.es and other VENDORS (a shame that jiayu is not bothering themselves) wanted to do something they just cant. Camera HAL is broken, microphone is bad...problems are known. But what jiayu does (NOT the vendors) is just ignoring any input from international customers. The last OFFICIAL INTERNATIONAL KK rom FROM JIAYU itself for the basic model is from february. Nobody is trolling, I think that a lot of people are just starting to realise the obvious and are realising that they might did a huge mistake by buying this phone and that jiayu is not concerned about any int. Customer.

The price is hot and hardware is still top notch, but when you go deeper into it the lack of a stable sofware makes this hardware not even worth using more than a year and 200€ for a year is NOT CHEAP its a knockoff!!!
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] justnewsp:
Does a Samsung S5 have the exact same price on every store you find it ? Well, NO !

I can find various models with price difference from $10 to $40. Or you can buy it subsidised form the mobile company, really cheap, but you're stuck with a 2 year contract.

I paid $240 for my S3 Advanced, expedited shipping from Europe, 5 days directly do my door.

Or I could have paid $180 (special promo), free shipping from China, probably pay another $40 customs fees, but wait 30-45 days to arrive.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] TommeleTBone:
I would buy every phone which is supported by good people like superdragonpt or derteufel.

One of the first phones protected vs. Stagefright kk and lp!

Think about.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] justnewsp:
I knew exactly what I paid for. I'm very happy with my phone as it is right now.

Nobody forced you to buy this phone and not a better, more expensive one.

MOD EDIT
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] frulex:
Completely agree with this. One month ago I didn't buy it expecting LP (hell, for last 2 years I was on JB), and the only downside I can find so far on KK is not so good video recording (my mic works fine). Everything else works great and I can't still find any other model close to this price with this specs.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] haasgo:
The stagefright fix is awesome and really appreciated. The overall UserExperience though is not the best. And telling people that its more or less their fault that they choosed this device is a little off topic. As I said: the hardware is still top notch, but support is not something you can see from a data sheet, its something you experience it over the time you use the phone. So far: support from vendors and devs has been awesome. Superdragon and derteufel nailed it, BUT the NOT-securty-issues remain.

Microphone is really bad (software issue), camera quality is not on par with the hardware assembled (software issue), audio quality is poor (software issue/fix is on needrom) compass is bad (software issue/fix possible but flaws remain to a certain degree). Also: this is not a developer thread in a developer section its the jiayu S3 thread, so very generic for ALL issues.

Jiayu is loosing a lot of credibility here. The first 2 months I was recommending this device to anyone asking me about it but then the first issues came up. Now I would rather tell them to go with something different.

Btw: buying something cheap does not mean is has to be crappy to justify the price. This device is great but lacks proper and adequate software support from jiayu itself and not the poor vendors!
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kenturky:
I flashed extreme ROM via spflash tools, and it suffices now. Don't have any problems other than the battery drain bug from 15%. No random reebots, etc... And about storage, xcooldroid xposed module is great. Only problem is that the stock camera app stores images on the internal memory, and its not working with xcooldroid.

Charging is slow, but that's not a problem as I have an external battery charger and a spare battery I bought before I ordered the phone.

So, the phone is perfect for now. Just a few lags here and there sometimes, but it doesn't bother me much. CPU tuner does the job of keeping the processor back on track.

MOD EDIT
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] tool88:
When I bought this phone it was laggy from right out of the box which I believed to be from the distributer flashing a bad ROM for an american use, so big thanks to the people on the forum for all the help I have absolutely no lag at all on the phone now and I'm a heavy user since I bought it to replace a laptop I haven't got around to fixing yet
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kenturky:
I think your distributor probably gave you a faulty handset. Because my handset never lagged when I ordered it from aliexpress. Probably your handset could be fake too. Yes there are fake s3 handsets circulating the market.

no Bluetooth

Hi

Has anyone experienced any problems with Bluetooth?

I have a BlueAnt Bluetooth gadget which works perfectly well with my old phones but it won't pair with the JS3.

The funny part is that the JS3 it finds my Lenovo A820 handset immediately but with the BlueAnt, it just keeps searching and searching before telling me that there are "no nearby Bluetooth devices nearby" and the Blueant says "please make sure that the Bluetooth is connected on your phone"!

My JS3 has the latest ROM (S3W_20150205-141543)

Can anyone help, please?

I just received a protective case for the LG G Vista model and it fits well enough to use for the S3. All I needed to do was enlarge the hole for the mini usb charger. The S3 is offset a little to the left, And I expanded the hole for the speaker on the bottom. I don't use earphones so never changed the top hole.

---------- Post added at 01:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 AM ----------

I finally finished all the updates to the phone from Jiauy-Store thanks to the help from many on this site. Although later I got an email from Jiauy-Store with the link to a boardforphones site that had instructions on how to install Google Service.

I ended up using Go Launcher to get a theme in English and used TruBackup on both my old Samsung S4 and new S3 to copy over my pictures, videos, and text messages. Like others I could not get the Gmail contacts to come over. I resorted to going online to Gmail to export my contacts to a .vcf file and then imported that using the stock phone applications.

The S3 still shows 3G service on the phone in Phoenix, AZ but Speedtest gives me a 7.41 down/1.4 up speed so I'm happy with that . Network Signal shows GSM HSPA+ so I guess technically I'm not getting 4G (still looking for an App to show the Mhz frequency and Bands the phone has). For WiFi I'm getting over 40 Mbps at home so happy there too. I just got done setting up Bluetooth for my car and that worked easily and all contacts went over to the car as expected.

I called my friend and he said the call quality is great so happy there too. Plus it downloads and runs any apps I'm interested in. Antutut showed 38,393.

Liking the phone very much so far. And at 25% of the price of the big name phones I cannot complain. At that price I can upgrade every year instead of every 4 years.
