[JiaYu S3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Rabanero:
Problems and tricks to solve them.

EDIT: Due to prevent people saying I am wrong, I clarify that this is ONLY my experience about problem appeared on MY terminal. I cannot know if these fixes works well in ALL terminals. My intention was just to share a new set of tricks and workarounds that worked for me, hoping they help to somebody more. Thanks.

Hi, community.

I want to share with you my experience and some tricks that worked for me with this #1 ROM (thanks, MAD!), but it seems it has common issues since some releases ago:

1. BATTERY DRAIN: Yes, many people says that is battery hardware problem… but it is not the only reason (too much people with same problem on recent releases can not be explained with that). Here is my solution (do not laugh, please :D): just disable battery saver feature. Yes, I know, it looks a nonsense, but I have checked that battery drain only happens when battery saver is active. Try it by yourself and tell me.

2. LOST WIFI MAC (00:20...) AND UNABLE TO ACTIVATE: Again, a common problem since some releases ago. I don't believe it is caused by wrong previous flashing… too much people with this problem lately, even experienced users flashing versions. I tried all workarounds explained here (reverting to LP by flashtool, upgrading without wiping everything, etc.), but all of them are just temporary solutions: PROBLEM STILL PERSIST. Do you believe your workaround solved this problem? Ok, then try something, please: remove physically your battery and wait 15 or 20 minutes before plugin it again. If WIFI problem is still gone, then lucky you, but I bet a pea that you will have it again. So, I believe the problem is in ROM itself (maybe it corrupts something when launching). How do I make quick workaround? Entering in TWRP and wiping cache only. Voila! WIFI works again! But problem is still there.

3. VIDEO AND ANIMATED GIFS DOES NOT START HERE AND THERE: I think something is wrong in video codec layer, but not only YouTube; Facebook, Twitter, Internet navigators… all of them, randomly, stopped to play videos or animations. They enter in infinite loading loop and do not start. YouTube patches are not solving these problem. I have not a fix for that, and I suspect it is the origin of next problem…

4. APPS STOP RESPONDING: Again, randomly and in same apps affected by problem no. 3, they become laggy and unresponsive, until pop-up of "app is not responding" appears. I have noticed that it happens when app is going to manage a video or animation, so maybe problem 3 and 4 have the same cause. Again, I have not found a solution for that.

5. ROTATION BEHAVIOUR: MAD Member already explained it: Nougat requires apps reprogram how to manage rotation behaviour. But he already said that they can fix stock apps like clock/alarm. Just I want to add that stock email app has these issues too (it loses current email view falling in infinite loading and disappears full folders/accounts navigation in floating panel). I hope they can fix on next release.

Anyway, we are lucky and I am very thankful to MAD TEAM to keep our devices more updated than majority of devices on the market. Keep on your great work, guys! Thank you!
