ClearMotion no S3 - can it be?

Hi everybody!

I have the S3 advanced. I consider it awesome, yet it is a pity that it doesn't come with ClearMotion option in definitions menu. Is there something we can do to get it??

Maybe it's a matter of installing the right components, just like Miravision instalation in the lollipop most recent ROM on needrom.

I know little about Android world and the smartphone's universe, but I had a THL T200 before and I did aprecciate the ClearMotion enhancement, and I find strange that it is not present on such a good phone as S3, whose hardware can support it in theory (I believe I found that on some internet pages).

Thanks in advance!!
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] :
Welcome GustavSercos,

Can you, for people who are not so well familiar, point to some URL or wiki explaining ClearMotion feature, and, as you tell, hint what may be missing for having it available on S3?

I see no reason, once on official LP why official OTA support would be prevented.

ClearMotion on S3 - can it be??

Hello Nofan Tasi and thank you!,

I would gladly post a link but I am not allowed until I publish 10 posts (this is the 2nd one, yet). So... Instead I envite you to search on some search motor for "MediaTek Launches MT6752 – a 64-bit octa-core LTE SOC Latest LTE product to enable Super-mid market". On that page you can find explained on a basic way what is ClearMotion: a technology that increases frame rate, allowing a smother video play, and so a better visualization experience. It is also stated that it should be present on the MK6752., which happens to be the CPU of the Jiayu S3 and S3S models. I myself have no idea if it can be present in Jiayu S3, and if not, how eventually could it be included and activated. That is why I raise the question here at the forum.

Once again, thank you!!

It's too generic and absolutly false. The GPS performance depend by brand/model/sofwtare.

I used Jiayu S3 Advanced, and the GPS lock is quite speedly and the performance are very good.

Please to make generic sentence without technical explanation check if you really know the argument that you are talking.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
I Never said that performance and lock was not good. Only that the accuracy is not precise in LL as is on KK, and it in every MTK phone that I've saw in the recent months, explaining that It's not Jiayu fault, not a problem coming with the ROMs, It's kernel related, MTK Kernel related, If you research you will see the same accuracy bug in the devices who came with KK and was updated to LL. If you are okay with it, so good for you =)

The object is your generic sentence that said "all mediatek have this problem". Please read your post.

I say again"Is not true and it's too generic".

You cannot make this sentence for all product with mdiatek chispet.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
Fine, anyway it was not what I was trying to mean. After all I am satisfied with my MTK device lol

Fixed the post to avoid misunderstanding.

did you get back in time?

That's the problem..right there !

LOOK NO FURTHER, the time travel messed the phone ...

Possible due to radiation ... or other unknown cause

Jiayu s3 problems

Hi guys, i am new to this forum, i bought a jiayu s3 3gb version from Pandawill, i hope it`s not a problem that i sayd from were i got it, and i have big problems with it. The phone is very unstable, it crash alot, and other big problem the screen is turning black and it start vibrating, i can only remove the battery so it stop and can use it again., and after it starts the screen is flashing very much. Anybody has this problem ? Any solutions ?

Seems that the guys from Armagedon are now using the modem of the newest LP 5.1 New Ui 14/07/15 Build, apparently it fixes the Bluetooth in their build and you have no more risks of messing the phone with the KK modem. They are also sharing a patch to fix pinkish in front camera, not tested yet. Would be really amazing if [MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION] or other dev could use some stuff fixed in New Ui to fix the unnoficcial build. Currently one features missing are NFC and fully working BT. Once that we don't know yet if Jiayu will continue to update the AOSP version, as some Chinese companies tend to like this unique's UI Rom. Anyway let's wait for them surprise us again, as they did with this new UI update.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Sta'ko:
Thx much man, you are very helpful... I went to a fresh W rom.. Till now no probs. But compared to the latest Chinese rom is a bit choppy and tatters a bit. And i'll make round two hopefully it will be all right this time.... :laugh:. Thx again!

Bluetooth FC

Haven't been able to find anything similar in previous pages, so here goes...

Since about last week, whenever I try to send a file to some other device via BT, the BT Share process force closes ("Unfortunately Bluetooth Share has stopped.") and the transfer fails.

The exact same thing happens when I try to receive from some other device too.

One (other) thing that indicates something has gone wrong is that after the failure, the remote device appears in my BT list as paired (whereas I never explicitly paired with it - plus the other device has no clue about it!)

I'm on S3-20150430 (KK, 2GB version).

I have tried whatever I could think of: Clear data for Bluetooth and Bluetooth Share and reboot (several times, actually...)

Uninstalled a couple of apps I had installed since, just in case, cleared everything and rebooted.

Rolled back a change I had made for permitting tethering of other devices over wifi (adding key 'tether_dun_required' with value '0' in settings.db, under /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases).

Even (ok, in desperation...) deleted BT Share's dex file in Dalvik cache and rebooted, to allow the system to rebuild it (not that I really expected this to help - and it didn't).

Nothing seems to have worked... I'm just left without BT for transfers.

Strangely enough (thankfully too!), I can still pair and use normally my BT handsfree, so it's just the BT Share part that has malfunctioned.

In fact, the BT headset is the only device that appears still paired at the moment (after all the cleanups etc).

Ok, I suppose (/hope) a Factory Reset would probably resolve this, but I'd hate to go to such lengths, just for that.

Has anyone else encountered a similar problem, or have any ideas that might help...?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ProTechShark:
I'm not sure how to fix it without wiping, but I recommend, if it does get to wiping, to reflash the ROM with spflashtools instead of doing a factory reset.

Need a help here. I observed that after having a sudden battery drain on the new UI, my phone went off as expected. But on rebooting, the phone bootloops. I had to uninstall my xposed before I got the phone back working. Anyone know how I can install xposed again without bootlooping. I will appreciate. Won't mind if there is any other xposed that can be installed since I learnt that xposed can only be installed on clean rom. Thanks.

No exFAT format support

This phone doesn't support exFAT, last night I tried to format my microsd to that format and the phone recognized it as blank and needed to be formatted. After the phone formatted the tf card it went back to FAT32.

So it's most likely this phone wont be able to use 64 GB and up tf card.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ProTechShark:
Even if it can't use exfat you can always use a program to format fat32 on any size micro sd.

Fat33formatter is one: http://tokiwa.qee.jp/EN/Fat32Formatter/
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] elkosith:
That's a good tool indeed for anyone who wants to use a 64 GB tf card.

But still, it's a shame that we need to do something first before we can use it, not out of the box. As a flagship this phone should support the format by default. And that 4 GB file size restriction is annoying

Purchased from Jiayu-Store 05-03-15

I ordered mine last Thursday (05 March) and so far, I must say that so far, they have been very professional. I had confirmation immediately both from them and from Paypal and on Friday, I received an email with receipt and advising that it had been sent via DHL and a tracking number.

It cost me $190 plus $18 express shipping. Unfortunately, having to pay with the highly devalued Australian dollars, meant that the actual total in AU$ came to $279 (plus whatever the credit card supplier charges on top of that). It still beats having to pay AU$600 for a Samsung S5, AS LONG AS IT LIVES UP TO ITS PROMISE!!!

Hopefully, it will arrive sometimes next week. I will post further as soon as I have had a chance to test it.

received Jiayu S3 3GB

I just got my Jiayu S3 3GB from the Jiayu-store yesterday. I know I saw some posts that did not like that site but it seemed to work for me. I ordered it 2/25 for $209 dollars with 3GB. I paid $16 for DHL shipping to Phoenix, AZ. There was no Customs Fee. It got here 3/5. I want to try it out of the box without any changes to see if it works on AT&T. It will be replacing my Samsung S4.

So far all I've done is made sure I can connect to WiFi and it works fine for that and speed seems fast. I want to finish reading this thread before I do any mods as I expect very little support from the China site. The phone did not come with a manual - only the AC/DC converter and mini USB cable. It did

not

come with Google PlayStore installed so that will probably be my first move.

My Build is S3 20150204-164285 (a little different that I've seen here on other posts). Interesting that the shippers declaration to customs shows a 2800 mAh battery. The phone value was listed as 72.80.

If I figure out how you guys do the "screen capture" I'll try to get that on my next post. Will update on my experiences later today if all goes well.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] dadto7:
Following up with latest results. With the shipped software on the phone I was able to connect to my PC (Windows 7) and see the files on the phone. SyncDroid had driver issues so just used Windows Explorer to copy all files as my backup. Will find a better backup program later.

I removed the SIM card from my Samsung S4 and put in JY S3. I was able to make calls without any issues but could not connect to the internet. After many tries to get Mobile Setting correct I put SIM back in S4 and copied Access Point Name settings (this seemed to be where the major problem was.) Then put SIM back into S3 and created a new APN. The settings that seemed to make the difference is MMSC set to "***mmsc.mobile.att.net" (just noticed I can't put in what looks like a link) and MMS Proxy set to "proxy.mobile.att.net". I also set the APN type to "default, supl, and mms". I'm not sure if there are other settings needed as the phone only shows 3G but the phone is usable for me. I don't do email on the phone so I will need to figure that out later so I can get my contact settings from Gmail.

So basically I can use the phone to talk. My friend said the voice quality was great when I called his iPhone. I can text with the phone and I can get on the internet (both with and without WiFi). Serves my needs for now and on to the next challenges.

First, finish reading this thread. There is a lot of good info here so I recommend that to all. There are many good posts here. I'm a programmer (mostly Mainframe and PCs now) so I'm sure I'll start playing with special ROMs before too long.

I love the phone so far and it seems really fast. My choice was $800-900 for new Samsung or $210 for a Octa core clone. I think I made the right choice so far.

Hi

I've just ordered mine from same supplier, same deal, except mine is the 2gb version (U$190+18). I'll be interested to know how you manage to get the Play Store app onto the phone? I've read several pieces on this subject and they all seem fairly complicated. Btw, the store advertises the Google Play Store as being included (see their specs for the 3gb model, 1st item)!

As for getting the contacts (or "People") app onto the phone, I had a similar problem when I bought my Ramos i9 tablet. The contacts APPEARED to be installed (under Apps), but did not show on any of the screens While the Ramos has a different CPU (Intel Z2580), you may be able to use the same procedure as the one which worked for that (it's worth a try!?):

Only works with the NOVA launcher!

If Contacts are installed but does not appear on any screens...

From the NOVA Launcher:

1. Long click on empty space on Home Screen

this should bring up "Add to Home Screen" Menu

2. click on Shortcuts

3. click on Activities

4. scroll down to Contacts

5. click on Contacts

this will open up many Contact/People sub icons

5. scroll down to and click on the one named "People activities.Peopleactivity

that resulted in a Contact icon appearing on the home screen with your contacts intact.

Finished

Let me know if any good. Alternatively, pl. let me know how you manage, thanks

Hi everyone,

Been following this thread after I dropped my old phone and had to buy a new one.

Ordered the S3 from Pandawill last Monday and it arrived today. It was actually a surprise because they hadn't even provided a tracking number so I assumed it hadn't even been sent yet. It came with English as the language on the phone and Play store was already installed. It also found an update to download as soon as I connected it to my wifi. So far, very impressed.

But anyway it's here and it's a nice looking phone - only time will tell as to its longevity.

How's this for speedy service: Ordered my Jiayu S3 at 16:00 on Thusrsday March 4th from the Jiayu-Store (via DHL) and arrived in Perth W.Australia at 12:00 today, Monday March 9th!?

Unfortunately, I can't make any calls on it yet as all my old sim cards are the mini-type and this phone needs the micro type. So now I have to wait for the sim card to arrive. Bet that will take a lot longer and the phone...

latest newui rom 5.1 from needrom

Been using this rom for around five days and I can really say that I am very excited.

The mobile works pretty fast and without any bugs apart from the fast discharging 20%-0% .

I just wanted to point out something that I noticed.

Yesterday when I tried to charge my mobile while it had 18% battery it wouldn t charge at all. I tried with several chargers but the result was the same.So i left it plugged overnight. After 6 hours of charging the battery was 68% which hadn t happened before.Also I realised that there was a sign that the mobile was charging while when I left it before going to bed this wouldnt happen with any charger.So I went to work and everything was pretty much normal.I thought that maybe the micro usb on the phone had a problem and was dissappointed with jiayu. When i returned home the phone wasn t charging again...Then I realised that the problen happened after installing an app from playstore called cm launcher. I uninstalled it and like magic the mobile started charging with all chargers!!! Amazing! How could a launcher mess up that bad with the mobile!!!!?
