To my shame I'm still on KK waiting for... I don't know what I'm waiting for since there is 5.1.1. Maybe, front and back camera quality improve?)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kakarott6:
Will try later today, thanks for the answer and the work you put in making these awsome roms! :)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
Front camera was improve on this latest beta, main camera (rear) will be improve on next build.

Since this was one of the main issues with LP builds (Stock chinese also), and most users still on KK, didn't updated due to this (this was one of the major issues with LP, thus, was on our priority list)

Our custom camera drivers, are way ahead of the current LP stock one

So mine is not oficial... And i will not receive OTA updates...? And what about the heating wile online gaming .. Do you experience it..? And the roms that you mentioned are bug free and everiting works on them.. ? Thanks at advance for reply... !
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] ProTechShark:
Just checked and no, your rom isn't the official version. You wont recieve ota updates on that version. My reccomendation is to install the official rom. You can get it here: http://www.needrom.com/download/jiayu-s3/

There are instructions on how to install on that page.

Edit: You will get ota updates on the AOSP rom, but they won't be from jiayu. I dont know if there are many bugs in the AOSP rom. You probably shoul go with the official rom but you can always try this. http://www.needrom.com/download/pure-aosp-v1-tf/

ROM suggestions

Hi guys, since this phone has little problems related to the speakers and the video recording i want to have a feedback from ppl that tryed the FlymeOS, the pure AOSP or some other ROM.

1) How does the camera work? Is it better or not compared to the stock rom?

2) Is the experience in general better or not?

3) What is the best ROM have you tryed on this device?

4) Is the sound output better?

Thanks a lot :D
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Paradelle:
There's not really an answer to you rom question. We're all looking for different things in a rom. What's good for me may be rubbish for you. Flash them, try them, decide for yourself.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] buby93:
Man... I made precise question, it's an objective report that i wanted. It is not an OPINION to judge the functioning of the camera or the video recording, it is a FACT. And for "better" i wanted to know if these very little bugs are solved or not.

With respect, thanks a lot
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Kage Musha:
To be fair. When you make a photo or video, how do you like it? To have more natural colours or vivid colours, neutral or sharp post-processing? These are what the app and it's (default) settings make of it.

Sound, what's good for you? Lots of bass or actually less?

how to solve call echo problem

Hi, I've read this whole topic and found no solution...

I have this call echo problem. Did make OTA to 20150205. How to resolve this? I've unchecked noise reduction from Phone's app settings and no result.

Thanks
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] buby93:
Man, i don't know if you saw some reviews of the Jiayu S3. From them i could argue that this phone has some (software?) problems in video recording and in sound output. I just wanted to know if there is a ROM in which these problems are solved or at least less evident than in stock ROM. That's all.

Thanks guys
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] GoonieGooGoo:
Hey guys, I ordered this phone from pandawill and I was wondering, what is included in the package? I've seen videos where a screen protector and a phone case is included. Does the charger come with a european or american adaptor?

Also, all software bugs aside, what is the actuall sound quality? I mean pluging earphones and listening to music, is that any different from your ordinary laptop or hifi? I'm worried because many users reported distorted audio from the speakers and I listen a lot of music while on the road (using earphones of course).

I would really like to see some lollipop cyanogenmod ROMs on the near future and I'm thinking of sticking with a clean android ROM... Anybody with a bricked device here want to tell us their story?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] sedj:
I got mine from Aliexpress and there was no screen protector or case, I ordered a genuine Jiayu silicone case and it arrived yesterday and is excellent. As for charging I don't bother with the supplied ac adapter as its only 1amp and 2 pronged, I am using a 2amp adapter for blackberry playbook which was £3.75 delivered on Amazon.

Sound quality with headphones is awesome especially with ViperFX app, speakers are not as bad as I first thought but should be better considering there are two of them.

It's a great phone and the stock ROM has some good features which is stopping me from installing AOSP.

Make sure you use the "system" theme in the theme app if you want stock android icons rather than the crappy looking rounded ones it comes with.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Sta'ko:
I have checked too and it is the oficial rom version S3W 20150205-141543.I will resiave OTA and the bugs will be propably fixed.Thanks anyway..the AOSP will be great rom but is still buggy,when is 100%fixed will install it..Till then i'll stick to the oficial it's not that bad.

p.s If anybodys device heats up in online gaming please sher the info..and if there is solution...
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] elkosith:
Those ROMs are still buggy, that's why I'm not bothered to try them since the stock ROM is already good for me.

The new UI ROM (beta, official) seems to have a better camera app, but I'm not sure.

I've been playing around with ROMs on my old phone and learned, if the ROM is not stable, it's not worth the trouble trying it.

If you watched any unboxing videos on youtube, you'll see what's in the box: phone, battery, usb cable, wall charger, some papers.

The charger uses american plug. You could ask for an adapter from your seller.

Sound quality form the earphone jack is between average and good. Nothing special. No big differences compared to laptop or any other phones. There is noticeable hiss when the audio chip is active and there is no sound. This is a common thing in electronics.

I have a meizu m1 note it's audio quality is far worse than the S3. It makes disturbing noise when the audio chip is active and the screen is touched. It's very weird because this is the first time I experienced audio glitch that is affected by the touch screen.

The speakers are actually capable of making loud sound before the sound get distorted. I use ViperFX to improve the sound quality and loudness of the speakers, and they're quite good for such small speakers. They wont be as good as external speakers, but with ViperFX they are a lot better compared without ViperFX.

S3W is the wcdma version. It come with gapps installed and it enables some western network frequencies and disables some Chinese ones. It isn't the official rom.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] haasgo:
Its not the official chinese rom, but the official european stock rom though. There are no gapps in china, due to restrictions, thats why they separate it. Also the chinese bands/frequencies would be of no use in europe/western countries.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] snabben:
Are there any benefits to disable the band's I don't use?

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Sta'ko:
I'm from Europe so it's logical to use this one and definitely need gaps.. It's making it oficial for me if it comes from Jiayu.. that is the main question I believe? And is the OTA maintenence is ok?

And please for the third time is somebody experience heating wile playing onlinegames and is there solution for that. Thx. S
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] snabben:
Haasgo, when you check batterstats, is WiFi at the top? It is for me, but I don't mind though. I removed under advanced so it can't check for WiFi if off. Dunno what else I can do. On my sammy t0lte I never saw WiFi at the top like on the s3.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Kage Musha:
It is an official ROM for international (non-China) use. I got my phone locally in China from a listed Jiayu retailer.

Came with S3SW 20150213-171816.

It's normal that the China ROM version doesn't have GApps since they will NOT be able to connect to any Google Services anyway (when I'm in China I have to use a VPN or SSHTunnel to check my GMail and update any apps through the Play Store).

Increase earpiece sound

Hi,

since i updated to LP my earpiece, i've seen values to fix the mic issue ( that i think i never had), but i just want to increase the sound.

In KK it was perfect, never even had it on max volume, probably allways at 3 ticks below max, in LP if i could add 5 ticks that'd be perfect lol

By the way it was asked by someone but never answered does this phone have VoLTE?

thanks.

previous builds aka every LP Rom.

Now that you said that the next one will be the rear I can't wait.

PS. Someone got a idea of what is happening for my phone take few seconds to start ro charge in a wall charger? even the led take few secons to light up.

I was using a external charger with other battery, and swapping them rarely I charge my phone.

Flashed KK again just to check this delayed charge issue, and no delay to detect charging when I put my phone in the wallcharger in Kitkat.

This may be a software issue.

Thankfully, because I was really scared when I saw this issue :\

Anyway I guess since I flashed 5.1.1 for the first time, I never put the phone in charge, just replacing batteries, that's why I never saw this issue.

But now I'm calm, cuz isn't is a hardware problem.

Going back to Beta 6.

[MENTION=4196889]DerTeufel1980[/MENTION], I've fully charged my phone in Beta 6 LP, then the phone was on 97% when I turned it off to flash KK.

When KK booted up, it was in 79% lol

Maybe this info is useful, Also what should be the right Mv in a 100% charge, I was using battery doctor and see a lot of jumps of 4093mv ~ 4100mv in 100%

Then I decided to charge until my phone reach 100% to see and report the differences BTW KK max mV and LP max

The max mV in KK when phone reaches 100% is at least 200 more than on LP in the same 100%

Funnily I have fully charged the phone before flashing KK, was about 97%/when I turned it OFF, when the phone booted in KK, poof! 79%.

In KK this same amount is get while in 85%... So in LP the phone believe that is on 100% when in truth is in the 85%...

100 - 85 = 15% battery drop...

Just my 2cents.
