Yes the 617 is slower, but what's the point of more power if it's broken?

Mediatek announce a lot of features but then you don't get them - the X10 promised the world and no phones had them. Not to mention upgrades.

The 6752 might look good in benchmarks, but the 617 will probably be better in real world usage, like javascript in the web browser.

If the camera is good I might look into the G4, good rom and a lot of accessories, don't need all the power. Maybe the Zenfone 3 is better, but it's hard to support brands that have Mediatek (little to no upgrades, we get lucky with the S3 and got something, but it's just one team of developers) and no accessories (Jiayu is not Xiaomi).

Mediatek just want to sell SoCs, Qualcomm has a big community with source code.

Troubleshoot your charging with device like this one: http://bit.ly/kcx-017

I use it for all my cellphones and other USB charged devices/batteries/powerbanks and to test my chargers. Really cool tool - gives you not just charging voltage and current, but total mAh charged... Really, really nice tool...

---------- Post added at 12:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------

Using 2A chargers won't help much, since there's a limiter inside device - so device will be charged similar to stock [1A] charger.

Stock charger gives me ~0.9A current and stable ~5V voltage.

Hi, I want to ask a stupid question [emoji6] . I have s3 advance and on setting>security there is superuser. And i setting to "on" then I get root access. The question are where the superuser apk located?and am i have to installed the superuser from Google store or just busybox? Thanks
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
Superuser is located in system/priv-app.You dont need to install superuser from the market, once you turn on the superuser in settings, supersuper will be activated. Although i would recommend installing supersu, as it gives more power and its binary is compatible with almost all apps.

Yes you will need to install busybox from the playstore,if any of the apps which u use depends on active busybox otherwise no.

Android Pay - question to jiayu.de devs

Android Pay has launched in UK but, unfortunately, it doesn't work (at least on RC5) as the ROM does not pass Android CTS test. I've used SafetyNet Helper to verify this. I've tried to disable root, factory reset, all for naught. So, my question to devs is: will it ever work straight out of the box (i.e. after RC6 release) or will it require some Xposed magic or is simply impossible? Having it working would be a very convenient and NFC feature would finally be useful.

Thanks in advance,

Tdg.

Inresting part it has USB-C with extra support for USB type C headphones (a weird trend that may be definetely come.with iPhone 7) but fortunately it has the old and.good 3.5mm headphone jack either.

Btw, 223$-186$=34$ difference.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
Maybe for the common user, but my case.

I'm flashaholic and customization addict, so I prefer the SDcard option, for keeping my stuff, some apps and backups on it and I plan to buy a 128GB sdcard.

But man, at this moment anything with Snapdragon 810 should be ignored. I think Snap 801 performs better if you put both in a stress test, but its just my personal experience.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
I feel you, I also need an SDCard.

Doesn't matter how much internal storage "a" phone haves, I always like the option of having an external SDCard, even if its just for backups and media files.

There's a reason why Google made all this changes on the Android MM.

Community demand it.

No matter what SoC you want to buy, forget the 810...

It doesn't matter it still uses Mediatek, so maybe one upgrade but then Mediatek has a new SoC so no upgrade.

The Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon) already has CM13.0 while the Mediatek version is on CM 12.1.

This is not the devs fault, they've done a lot, software is just as important or even more important than hardware and Mediatek is s*** next to Qualcomm when it comes to source.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
Yeah Redmi Note 3 Pro I think is the best offering for a mid-pricing class. Snapdragon 650/652 should be even better than last year 808.

What pisses me off, with some companies using Qualcomm is they rather use last year offerings than the cutting edge tech, and charge the bigger price possoble for it. OEMs are using 617 rather than this year 650, only Xiaomi is using 650 and charging a honest amount for it. Its OEMs fault not Qualcomm, as Infocus uses 801 and some phones and cost 150, or the LeTV with 810 costing 180 (again 810 is a big problem never buy it)

Here in Brazil LG will launch the G5SE a "deprecated" variant with 652 for the "fools" (as they should think) of latin america... And it will cost about 500$.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] nature boy:
Even the 615/616/617 are mostly fine, yes the 6752 is more powerful in benchmarks but the Snapdragons are better optimized (compare browser benchmarks).

The 652 is ideal, and the Xiaomi Note 3 Pro is almost perfect. If the camera had better low light performance I would probably get one.

Going to see what Asus comes out with. But I'm not going Mediatek for my next phone, even if it has 20 cores. ;)

P.S.: It's very sad to see so many good phones in the "cemetery" because the 6752 was too good for its time.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AlexZap:
Unfortunately, no.

Here is the scoop: there is no official tutorial on creating systemless root by hand. There are two options from what I can tell: 1) auto patcher using the flashable zip, or 2)extract the zip and step through the scrip by hand. I have tried both on several occasions, and gotten no where.

With the auto patcher, it requires you to have a standard android kernel. We have a mediatek kernel. No problem, I thought. I extracted the kernel, repacked it as a standard android kernel, booted my phone to recovery, flashed the standard kernel, set for a systemless install, flashed supersu, extracted the hopefully systemless kernel, copied it to my computer, repacked it as a mediatek kernel, put it back on my phone again, re-reflashed it, and tried to boot. I booted just fine, but with a standard supersu install. From what I could tell, supersu refused to install systemless for some reason or another, though it gives no indication in the logs. I think it refuses systemless on 5.1.1 unless you have a samsung device.... anyway.

I also extracted the script from the supersu installable zip and worked through it modding the boot.img by hand and creating a su.img to get mounted at boot. This always resulted in nonfunctional systems. Probably something I left out, but let me tell you, the script for installing supersu is nontrivial. Definitely not for the faint of heart.

There are new versions of supersu out... maybe I'll try again one of these days.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AlexZap:
Most of those are known not to work with current android pay, and only worked with initial versions, or with versions installed on certain systems with semi-broken safetynet implementations.

First, rootcloak does not make it so android pay works. Android pay uses safetynet to verify your system, and it doesn't verify it itself. Part of that is looking for the su binary, but part is looking for other system modifications that rootcloak doesn't cover up

The safetynet xposed module also only works only on some systems, and barely at that.... safetynet verify your system, then that verification is verified itself by another algorithm... to make sure it wasn't tampered with. This is why the xposed module usually doesn't work, and why I have never gotten it to work on our s3.

The only tried and true method that has worked everywhere and across devices is uproot the system, then run systemless root.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] mite_jan:
for me 16gb is enough , i have never managed to use it on the Jiayu s3 , but you can choose the 32gb if you want ofcourse which i found to be more expensive

dual sim is also not a problem for me, but for some it may be

that camera is so good , i saw some samples from the phone and i was wowed (even it has slow motion supported)

i think Meizu did pretty good job here

dont forget the starting international price was 250 pounds so it makes sense

but now it is 110 pounds

as far as flyme os when i see it i can judge it

but it is official , OTA updates occuring all the times , and has some neat features

and that screen should be pretty good too

Replacing broken screen

I posted a few weeks ago and about attempting to replace a broken screen with only the glass/digitizer...that did not go well at all! I have replaced several screens on older model phones with good results but my S3 was completely shattered and when trying to separate the LCD from the broken glass it flexed a bit too much and cracked the back corner of the LCD. Even if you did get it off in one piece getting in aligned and stuck cleanly to the new glass would be very difficult. The LCD itself has no structure to it, where older phones had a stiff backplate this one is soft foil so the LCD flexes very easily...lesson learned....moving on...

I have a question for those that have replaced the LCD/glass assembly( [MENTION=6439541]Aussie_Oddball[/MENTION] [MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION]) I ordered a replacement from the link kindly provided by aussie oddball. It looks fine but the only adhesive in the box is a piece of 3M double-sided tape about 2"x1" that looks like it's been hastily cut from a sheet. Having pulled the phone apart nearly two weeks ago with the screen in tiny shattered pieces I don't recall if there were thin strips of adhesive down the sides of the screen? There was some sticky gunk (with glass fragments) that i cleaned off the old frame.

My questions are:

1. Is it only the top and bottom edges that require the double-sided adhesive?

2. Was there any adhesive down the side edges of the LCD or was it a thin gasket?

Thanks in advance.
