Hi !

I tried the Flyme OS, the camera is better than the jiayu stock 4.4, better video camera, but, 4G, bluetooth, notification led not working.......

and the telephoning voice is better !!!

Jiayu S3 Flyme OS sample video

and stock jiayu 4.4 camera

gwaldo : yes , work all

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] elkosith:
Here are my experiences with google cardboard:

- Cardboard demos don't work. They only give blank screen or corrupted videos.

- Magnetic ring doesn't work. Maybe the magnet is too strong or the sensor is too sensitive.

- Gyroscope works but I think it's too sensitive in picking up movements.

- Many apps run smoothly but the left and right images are too far separated.

- Some apps work. Example: Dive City Coaster.

- Video player apps don't work, the videos are corrupted.

My solution to fix the to-far-separated images:

- Install NOMone Resolution Changer from playstore.

- Set the screen resolution to 1260 x 2240, 480 dpi, this would make the images smaller.

- Select Yes, and then select skip.

- Set back to default after finish with cardboard.

How to watch 3D movies with cardboard using MX Player:

- The movie must be in Side by Side, parallel format. SBS crossed eye won't work.

- If the video is squeezed, you would want to stretch it to correct the aspect ratio.

- Play the video, open options > display > aspect ratio > custom. Set it to 32 x 9 or 32 x 10.

- Pinch in to make the whole video visible.

- For AC3 files custom codec is required for audio playback, search this forum for the tutorial.

A pitty that devs do not really inform about bugs. They are fast in releasing their rom though. AOSP and lollipop would make things so much easier :)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] elkosith:
CPU speed 1859 MHz?

Please check the CPU speed on your phone with CPU Z or ROM Toolbox as on mine they show the CPU speed goes up to 1859 MHz from time to time.

I also noticed that only 2 cores would go up that high.

Who has sick your eyes when using this phone because on minimum brightness still bright, you can make some file

e.g. : Display.sh

and add this script.

echo 10 > /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness

you can set value to 5-20.

and run using script manager as root and boot.

There is a patch that fixes it. You can find it in official Jiayu forums. (sorry for not posting a link but I'm not sure if I'll violate any XDA polices.

Also there are reports for the new build that incoming SMS is not working.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Aussie_Oddball:
Hi

Tried it by putting three in sim 2 and switched data off. Sim connects to voice. rebooted with data off. Added vodafone to sim1 booted. Data is still off. Booted again just to be sure. Both sims should in theory give me voice.

Vodafone does. There does :):):):):):):) Tested and can make calls via both sims by choosing who to use.

reboot again.

Both Sims come online again. For the multi million dollar bet I turn on data to Vodafone via settings/quick/mobile networks

and both Seem to work :cyclops::cyclops::cyclops::cyclops: !

Reboot again

Both work but the data only comes up on E, not 4g on Vodafone. Go into setting / quick / mobile networks / 4g/3g service / enable 4g/3g. Change data from Three to Vodafone

Three stops working for calls

:eek::eek:
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
Wow! If these reports are accurate, Jiayu (or whoever is producing these latest LP ROMs) really need to get their priorities straight - it beggars-belief to think that core phone functionality doesn't work properly, i.e. SIM, SMS and that such major bugs are allowed to slip through any QC tests prior to release. I know they're only BETA releases at present, but seriously, get the basics sorted first, guys!

Will check gps accuracy tonight, last my runkeeper was a bit off

Edit. Been out, seems to jump like 100m between each check or how I should say. If I run in a long turn, the gps takes a narrower straight from start of turn to end of it. So a 4km run with other phone resulted in 500m less this run. Will test different gps settings.

Anyone knows where (on Play Store?) to find 64 bit (say 1.23.2) busybox?

I successfully built static aarch64 one (against somewhat heavy glibc .a (1737984 bytes for busybox)), but, idealy, a, dynamically linked, 64 bit busybox would exist (against some light android (g)libc .so).
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AlexZap:
As far as I know I thought busybox was usually compiled statically, so it is more portable. In every build instruction I can find, they say to make a static version. I'd you want do go dynamic, you probably need to get the whole Android sdk and make it yourself, but you would be locked into whatever version you compiled for.

Esit: There is a 64bit busybox here for the nexus 9... Dunno if it is static or dynamic tho http://xdaforums.com/nexus-9/development/useful-64-bit-aarch64-binaries-busybox-t2931373

the xda binaries you point to provide both dynamic and static (and linked against NDK libc)

$ file busybox busybox_static

busybox: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /system/bin/linker64, stripped

busybox_static: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /system/bin/linker64, stripped

but the version is a bit old

$ strings busybox | grep '^BusyBox v'

BusyBox v1.22.1 (2014-11-06 18:23:54 EST)

I personally find it a bit hard to build bysybox using NDK. But against glibc I succeed.

$ file busybox-1.23.2-static

busybox-1.23.2-static: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 3.7.0, BuildID[sha1]=cb9b0b5bd84793e0b98242635065bb414a7dda4b, stripped

$ strings busybox-1.23.2-static | grep '^glibc '

glibc 2.21

$ strings busybox-1.23.2-static | grep '^BusyBox v'

BusyBox v1.23.2 (2015-07-27 17:51:08 CEST)

Ideally I would like a busybox 1.23.2 (static or not) linked against NDK libc.

Hey,

Actually according to wiki Three is a 3G/4G network using Orange for 2G services (so they don't have their own GSM) however on some places 2G fallback service are not provided anymore and that's where the problem lies. What it practically means for you in order to fully enjoy Three everywhere you have to put their SIM to the 3G/4G enabled slot. Therefore you can provide 2G only for your Vodafone card thus getting low rate EDGE data only... it sucks.

Practically the S3's dual sim feature rarely can be used due to this limitation. I used a 3G only network and local SIMs when roaming for data. However in order to use data I had to change the slot to 3G/4G but then I lost my home network voice roaming possibility since the other slot provided 2G access only (I am not sure why it happened since theoretically I could roam on a 2G network even though my cell provider 3G at home but it seemed like it wasn't the case)
