[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
Welcome to Android and superuser power. Not sure if your iphones were 'jailbroken' but, in terms of UNIX, your rooted phone similarly gives you the power to do anything with it (including mismastering it :().

If such power is new to you, then perhaps you must read around a bit first. If you are comfortable with the idea, then nice thing about the Jiayu S3 KK stock firmware is that it has the switch to set root on/off in settings. That's a luxury since some phones are hard to root.

As others mentioned, your settings application is fine: avast 'PU' means 'potentially unwanted' (but of course we want root :good:).

There are several programs that allow you to freeze or remove applications from otherwise readonly firmware (aka /system). Freezing means: make sure it does not execute. If you choose for freeze, I recommend to delete cache and data first (from settings application).

Success.

do we need to install xposed on stock kitkat?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AlexZap:
Completely OT, but the term "jailbreak" is also a Unix term... it comes from the *BSD world as opposed to the linux world. MacOSX (and the IOS derivative on iPhones) is based on freebsd (there is even a free and open distro called Darwin which is its base that you can run). Anyway, the BSD security model has to do with sandboxing all the individual processes. When you break out of your sandbox to hack memory, it was known as jailbreaking. So when the iPhone's were first rooted, since they run a BSD derivative, they borrowed the term as well.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Bantryred:
No, only warning for lp users with xposed to install before xposed, bootloop otherwise. Since I chanced my arm I flashed it on top of my running lp ROM with xposed and I got a bootloop :) BUT I had a nan backup so I didn't mind..... So being bored I took files from download and put them into ROM fixed permissions and rebooted and no bootloop. Lost xposed though, but everything seemed to be loaded and correct, so chanced going into recovery again and flashed xposed, and again no bootloop, but, there is always a but! no gravity box, GEL settings was working, so deleted gravity box and reinstalled and now that is working, so at the moment I've the files in place and xposed seems to be working. I'll check tomorrow if there is any difference in sound quality and volume.

I tried both v2 and 3, same problem with both - values are not saved when pressning "SET" button. Did I miss something?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Bantryred:
I think the idea is you don't need to change anything after flashing. Don't know if there is any major change from v4 to v5, listen to music through BT headphones, and max volume is similar, sound is great, but had been on v4 also, in my honest opinion.

I'll try phone earpiece later for phonecall.

Did anyone tried "kernel auditor" from GPS for lowering the cpu speed(and that way manage the heating while playing heavy 3d online games), and there is option for charging (maybe make phone charge faster) . Thx.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kenturky:
I download CPU tuner from play store, and configured it by lowering the CPU clocks thus disabling heating and avoiding cores from going past 1.5Ghz.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Bantryred:
Notice any major drop in speed/performance?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Sta'ko:
Does it do the trick. .. No heat up and nice performance.. no problem with heavy 3d online games.. .?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] magicreal:
maybe we can create a profile for the situations like"on the beach" or in the hot situation, i need to try set cpu(i never use cpu tuner and i dont know if he have profiles), guys so you thinks its a good idea or i can cause problem to the cpu?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kenturky:
The phone doesn't really heat up. Once or twice in gaming it does, but otherwise the CPU doesn't heat the phone.. When using 3g, I get some heat sometimes... I tried to avoid gaming because of the battery problem... On the lollipop ROM by superdragonpt, the battery drops from 20 to 1, whereas in KitKat(aosp by tf), I've noticed a battery drop from 8% to 1%... Sometimes its 10%. Performance is never an issue in this phone. I just limited the CPU usage thinking I might improve the battery life, but instead, the apps like weather clock and some apps running in the background actually eat up the battery... So I greenified them. Whatsapp, Facebook, messenger, chrome etc. I'm gonna try some games and find out. For gaming, its best to use CPU tuner, and set the profile for performance. It consumes a lot of battery though because all cores are set to run at 1.7Ghz, and they don't lower.

I'm not sure if anyone had this problem, but my phone was on 60% battery, and it suddenly switched off. I switched it on again, jiayu kernel logo came, and the android logo appeared. Then it went to the main screen and it switched off immediately. I rebooted to recovery, and noticed the screen was flickering... I will video it with my previous phone and upload to YouTube the next time it happens.

I attached the CPU tuner profiles...
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kenturky:
Some guy in my class has the micromax Yureka(if you never heard of this brand, you can Google the specifications) which has a snapdragon 615. That chipset is weird. It has 4 cores a53, and 4 cores a57. And that big.LITTLE chip works in a weird way. I actually hate that technology. Its merely a gimmick. And all phones with snapdragon 410, 615 and 810 hear up. The CPU just heats up like mad. There's no proper heatsink in those phones...

Anyway, I configured his phone with CPU tuner after he rooted it because the phone lagged earlier, and it was heating up... Put a profile by lowering the clock to 1497MHz on normal/good, and the phone never heated up after that...

Hi,

I had this problem with my 1 year old cubot S208.

The problem in my situation was a defective battery.

I tried to reset the battery statistic und some other things I found on the net but nothing works.

Cheers
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kenturky:
Thanks. So literally, I have 2 defective batteries. Damn this....
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Bantryred:
To be honest I'm not a gamer and I've never really felt it overheat, youtube, streaming music/video and internet browsing is my biggest use, I only ask about CPU restriction only to try and get a bit more out of the battery, I might try switching 4 cores off completely and see what happens. I tried greenify before and I thought it was actually heavier on battery but I probabally didn't set it up right. Referring back to sound settings v5 all OK today, had a few phone calls and no problem on there side or mine and music crystal clear.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
hi

Any of the 4 official Beta LP builds, or any of my unofficial LP builds, don't mess with IMEI.

Just be sure to properly flash.

coming from KitKat --> Use the Upgrade download option

Already on LP --> Just use Download version

Unofficial Builds are here on xda, under our device forum tag

http://xdaforums.com/t/jiayu-s3

I also posted the Beta3 LP, with GAPPS + Su here on xda

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kommando:
If you go to Needrom and use the offical roms the IMEI does not change but you do of course need to backup your IMEI as a matter of course anyway using the engineering app.

http://www.needrom.com/download/jiayu-s3/ for the KK's

There are 2 basic roms, advance with 3 gb ram and nfc, basic with 2 gb ram no nfc.

And 2 variations of each type, OTA where you put the update file on the phone and upgrade without a USB connection to the PC and the Flashtools version. Before you upgrade download gapps and have that on the phone as it will need installing after the upgrade.

I am on the latest Advance version and its very stable, I did the OTA upgrade, dated 7th May.

Slightly off topic but regarding the screen, I bought two S3 Advanced, one has a warm screen and one a cold screen (panel lottery?) and both have very minor backlight bleed in the bottom corners (I'm being very picky). Has anyone else noticed if your screen is on the warm or cold side? Any backlight bleed? Thanks
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ProTechShark:
I have a small pressure point on my screen, it is only visible on white, and even then I have to spend 30secs looking for it. I could have tried to send it back to China, but I wouldn't even call it a problem. Also if you are on KitKat you can change color temperature with miravision.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] RalphMalph:
Hi Levered, you always have inside-information. Any news on a new update? Better a non-newui. But as long as development is going on.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] guido21:
I wouldn't really even call it a problem, I'm just being very picky :). For the price I think the screen is very good overall, much better than the oneplus one it's replacing! I was just a bit surprised how different the whites are on the two screens, they both came from Bang Good ordered on the same day. I've tried different miravision settings but it doesn't change it much, I think it's just a factory calibration/panel lottery thing. If I didn't have two devices to compare i'd never notice it, am just curious what others have.

I've tested both using a LCD touch test app and the draw test in mtk engineering tools, no taps seemed to register as slides, is there a more specific way to test for this?

I do sometimes get the lower menu pop up when I'm typing but I'm using swipe typing on the Google keyboard so I'm assuming it's my sausage fingers catching the edge of the screen and triggering the menu?

You should find a high sensitivity game like clash of clans or something. Zoom out to a point and spam touches. Some of them will force a slide and you will notice on your screen

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kenturky:
Well, the thing is this KitKat ROM is picked from another phone. As far as I've noticed,

1. 3G and G signals next to the signal aren't there. Its totally annoying.

2. Why I chose this is because I like the stock look. And I can use gravitybox perfectly without any problems.

The phone is perfectly smooth, and with the 1.5 update, there is no problem. The sound is great on this kernel... I'm using creative kernel. But if you prefer 4g, use the dragonevil kernel. Many people reported being on 4g almost all the time. I don't have 4g on my sim as 4g is not properly developed in India, so I limit myself to 3g.

Whenever I get a new phone, I always grab the aosp ROM. The only downside is that I use extensive customization and it somehow decreases my battery life... But without extensive customization, you could get at least 3 to 4 hours SOT.

Edit: I have the s3s(3GB ram version with NFC). Never really used the NFC. But you could try...

Mine heats up also when playing online 3d games with heavy graphics, no overheating wile browsing (i'm talking about 3g and wi-fi though - don't use 4g).Have you tried to lower the CPU frequency to 1,5 for example. Some guys here thing it heats up because of the turbo function 2 cores are getting boosted to about 2.0 mhz. When needed. Don't know how to switch that off... If someone has solution is welcome to share.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kenturky:
The CPUs don't go above 1.7Ghz. So it can never go to 2.0Ghz. For those who want to prevent overheating, its best to use CPU tuner and limit the frequency to 1.4Ghz. A clock above 1.5Ghz takes a little more voltage thus decreasing the battery faster.

The phone heats on 3g HSPA+ which is normal when there is a low signal because when it searches for a signal, it uses more battery power thus getting heated up.

When using GPS too, it heats up sometimes because it searches for a signal.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Sta'ko:
It does go over 1,7 as i sad for the turbo function (at least 2 of the cores wile they are boosting in turbo mode). Does anyone downgrade to 1.5mhz and is there any productivity drop, lagg wile gaming and so on.. ..?

And my phone doesn't heat up wile 3g browsing. Only when play heavy 3d games. When they are online heats up more...

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] elkosith:
My phone is great, love it. Only some minor problems like random reboots, weird battery percentage, and wifi keeps on using battery although it's turned off.

I got 4-5 times random reboots in the first week of usage, but it's already several days without any reboots. The weird battery percentage only happened one time. The battery usage stat shows that wifi is always on and using battery, although it's turned off in the settings. It uses the same battery percentage with 'Cell Standby'. This confuses me. My guess is because I use high accuracy setting for Location setting.

Happened to me once. From 30% to 1% after a sudden reboot, and then went up to 30% again after I rebooted it manually.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
Those temps are still "ok"

On heavy duty multi-tasking / recording/ high games, it can heat up a bit, rather normal.

If you are worry about it : change cpu Governor or downgrade CPU values, this will also conserve some battery.

But those temps are still safe, The "thermal" function is working OK on KK and LP official builds.

Can't talk about cooked ROMs, never had those for more than 1 /2 hours.

Btw: Temp sensores can go crazy sometimes, its not an exact science

Changing CPU governor won't affect thermal heat up. Downgrading is the only solution. I wish you could change the thermal feature like on some Qualcomm devices. That would be really great
