I need a new phone because all my other ones are broken.

Since you guys have had the JY-S3 for a while now would you say this is a good phone for everyday use or am I better off getting something like the Nexus 5 or wait for Zenfone 2?

Hi guys, I have a question, how do you check if your Jiayu S3 is a genuine & original product? I'm a bit worry about some fakes and clones from China..

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] alsat1:
Also for me its very important,and in my opinion devs should take that problem seriously couse main thing which should work without any problems in every phone is call quality,jiayu s3 is flagship phone and that should be sorted out before phone relaese to the world.We can wait for other things to fix,its normal but that is very major defect and strange it still not fixed in any rom release.

Someone said that bad video quality is caused by the default camera app and using a different one from GP solves it.

Can someone please confirm this by uploading a video comparison of video shot using the default app and another app from Google Play? Perhaps at full HD, since the camera is capable of it? Thank you !:)

Hi! Can someone tell me what Rom have best call quality ??? I am on latest kitkat (S3S 20150507-083407) and call sometime is good, some time is bad (more bad, even with full antenna), even if I test it with girlfriend who live with me.. Can you please provide links and instructions on how to install a Rom that give the best call quality (in addition maybe better sound quality) ??? I work and this problems make me want to throw phone away, waiting for some hero.. :)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] marsian0:
IF your carrier offers calls over 3g or 4g, you can disable 2g bands and let only 3g. In my area 2g coverage is poor, 3g is better, so i disabled 2g bands and left only 3g. The quality of calls is way better. You can try this, nothing to lose.

After you disable bands in engineer mode you have to reboot.

Boot Time Test.

Android Lollipop Rom

This test have make from starting from boot logo Jiayu until lockscreen is appear.

Without SDCard : 0.32 second

With SD Card*: 1 minutes 16 second.

Test with SanDisk 32Gb Class 10 memory card.

What you think?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ProTechShark:
Huh. That really sucks. On one hand 32 seconds is quite fast, but why is a sandisk micro USB slowing it down? I'm used to a phone booting up faster than my pc :(
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Levered:
I think that's problem because memory card has need reading first after boot. So this happen need you waiting more time than without sd card. I hope this problem can fix soon.

Hi guys .First post ,long time reader lurker & still not enough confidence to attempt to backup,recover & flash .

Just received S3SW20150314-141844 model from Jiayu-store & out the box no IMEI's .Watched youtube tutorials & in engineer mode have entered short code & imei & sent command .AT Command Failed To Send . I have input the details correctly as some tutorials do not show to enter AT+(space) but I picked that up in the comments & besides I tried both .

Can anybody point me in the right direction & what method now I can attempt .

ps Overall I'm very pleased with the phone .A couple of oddities like Mobileuncle having no Engineer Mode{MTK} & no option to move Apps to SD Card even though the phone recognises the SD card & I can set that as default write disk but these are the least of my problems for now

Mine came i n the same way, no baseband,no imeis, no SN, after a while of trying to recover, flashed stock rom with SPFlashTools, and voilà, everything went ok, imeis, baseband, SN, etc. I installed stock KK from 0411.

I have an OLD 8GB class 4 >SDCARd, and boot time it's FAST.

Make sure to delete .androidsecure folder from your sdcard...

It usually have left-overs from other roms/ or from another device (in case you used it on other devices).

You need root and allow your file explorer to see invisible files/folders

Call Quality

Sound is not my first concert, Call quality is the big problem, people don't hear me ok and I don't hear them ok too, very rare call quality is actually good and then during that call it gets worse, some time I even got echo, but I got good network signal, so there is call speaker and microphone problem. My lenovo a766 is 2 years old and is heavy used at max volume, is still considerable better. I don't hear people saying that Elephone p7000 is unusable because call quality or any iOcean phone or Mlais, I was thinking that jiayu is a little better brand than them but Jiayu call quality is worst, It's like on very cheap phone..

Crap

I am using this phone for 2 months.Whatever u do will not fix sound much.U will fix echo and f. up something else.Reason they put crap hardware.Same goes for camera.Sensor is sony but other things are...I am completely disappointed in Jiayu.Compared with elephone p7000 and meizu close range of price this phone is toy.And who the fuc need phone that u need to fix every single thing.And if anyone of u just hold in hand Meizu m2 note or p7000 will think same.And about os all other phones have lolipop while we w8.And my opinion is that this phone getting 5.1 cos they will use that system on s4.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] alsat1:
Main and major problem is so far that call quality,we have LL but still beta,I only have a hope jiayu programmers will take that problem seriously,and everyone saying Kitkat is stable and ok for s3 but call quality is also not fixed there so for me there is only 2 reason why:

-programmers dont know how to fix call quality

-there was not enough reports from users about that

Hopely that second second reason is only true.

I starting to regret that I sold (very cheap) my nearly new Huawei Honor 4x.Mayby there wasnt things like nfc and smart wake,but call quality was perfect,louder and clearer also with noise reduction ON.OS was fast,stable and camera was much better.And its not flagship like jiayu s3.

Comon jiayu devs.lets put some heat on our phones:)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Odorian:
Crap

Well if programmers fix on base of chinese forum.We have problem.Cos all that they complain in china is:eek:h it is ugly.Oh my calls drop.No one even mention that video ,picture and sound are crap.I did not made one good picture on 5.1, and on 4.4 it is not much better as much u think it is.And when i look the pictures of my friend p7000 i wish to die.And sound well i put him on vibrate when i am with friends reason:"When u hear one time xiomi mi4i sound u will throw this phone in..."

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] krist2an:
wtf is wrong with your call quality? Never had any issues with it. Not with KK, not with Lollipop, everything works just fine. And the camera is also totally fine, especially for the price. The P7000 is crap, look at their forum, it's full with different issues plus Elephone is releasing like a phone per day, so getting any updates will be highly unlikely soon. We will get 5.1, so I don't really see a problem.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] agdroubi:
Must we be happy or not? I am really confused. :(
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] alsat1:
There is no problem when calling and hearing person from other side,but person on other side have a problem with hearing us.That person sometimes hearing echo,thats because sometimes bottom microphone stopping working and only top microphone is in use.So person hearing him/her self from the earpiece and very bad hearing what we saying.

Peoples reported thats happend after using a stock(mayby also other)camera and making some video recording with microphone.

If You never had that problem You must be very lucky,or just your talkers from other side never told you about the call issue.

My wife telling me that nearly every day.

And yes-I have full coverage in my area-4G included,yes,tried 2 other phones in same sim card.Used Lenovo p780 from more then year and Huawei Honor 4x from about month,same sim card,same area and never had this kind of problem.So is definitley jiayu s3 problem and hopely(must be) fixed soon,couse that problem eliminate normal daily use.We can wait for other fixes but this one is high priority problem and please,jiayu staff---do something with that.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Odorian:
LUCK

HM i just look elephone they have few updates so much about that.Well i have used full day of p7000,meizu m1, xiomi mi4i cos my friends have that phones we made test.And at the end for normal use mine get last.Maybe i get some bad device or idk, you have luck from all people on world :) but sound, camera is way better on all other phones that was in my hands.Idk maybe i am used that fuc phone do one single thing good.TO HEAR SOMEONE LOUD AND CLEAR!!!
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AlexZap:
It is sort of a waste arguing over build quality. Either you like the Jiayu or you like something else. Coming in this thread and trashing a phone that most people here seem to agree is a pretty awesome device is just waste. If you have a Jiayu s3 and don't like it, sell it and get something else. It is JUST A CELLPHONE, not a way of life.

On the other side, if you look at reviews on all the big chinaphone websites, most pan the p7000 for construction issues, like the LCD not being fully laminated to the touch screen, it the case not physically being physically sealed so the LED lights on the inside leak all over outside the phone.

If you are worried about the s3 being forgotten because of the s4, and think Elephone's model is better, let me remind you that after the p7000, Elephone is/has released or announced the: p8000, two separate devices named vowney (one Intel based and one mediatek based), the p9000, and I think one more that I am forgetting. I will leave it to you to decide which "flagship" gets forgotten by its manufacturer first.

On top of that, Elephone still hasn't completed shipping all of the preorders for a phone released a month ago.

I personally have had no issues with my call quality. Everyone I have talked to can hear me just fine, and I can hear them. Skyping has been a slight issue with Mic pickup, but I use it about once every 6 weeks, so it really doesn't bother me. And again, this is a $200 marvel. You want perfection, go get a Samsung, or a Sony, or another $600 phone.

TLDR: don't like your phone? Sell it and get a new one. But don't bash a phone in a forum full of fans.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Odorian:
Well i did not said which one is better.I just said mine get last place.And i try many roms and "fix".But sound is bad.Maybe no one told u that sound like robot or like u are in well but i even listen record.And if u can't get for 200$ normal sound then...Btw i have p780 cheap phone from lenonovo and makes me sad that he have better sound in call.Idk maybe i have some bad device.I will try to get hands on someone else S3 to compare.

Well, let's say it that way. I'm using jiayu s3 advanced with S3SW 20150213 ROM. Sound quality : both sides - perfect

NFC : working, tested

Speed : perfect

Video : very good. I can post YouTube videos

Touch response : perfect

4G - 1st Sim : up to 8MB/s download speed

Only issue : second sim is loosing signal very often

And yes, I want to upgrade to LL 5.1 - reason : I don't know why. Maybe just because is newer

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AlexZap:
Well, I don't know what is up with your phones call quality. Other people here have suggested fixes, and still others don't have any issues. If you have tried their fixes and haven't had any luck, all I can suggest is to dig into the problem yourself: no one can troubleshoot your device's calls from halfway around the world. You know about engineering mode. Go in there and tinker with the settings. Open your phone up and clean out where the microphone hole in the case is. Totally open the back of your phone and disconnect and reconnect the flex cable that attaches the charging board that has the microphone on it (you may have a loose physical connection). Or get creative. Then if you come up with some breakthrough fix, come here and report it. I am sure you will help others.

XDA is based on the fact that no one has ALL the answers, but if you are able to come up with a solution, you have a place to share it and help other people.
