[Hardware issues] Jiayu S3 Post here

[guido21]

you just have made my day!!! It worked perfectly!! :good:
Untill now, i had a 5.5" Jiayu Tablet :silly:

Now i have a smartphone!!
Thanks a lot

No problem . This question seems to come up often on the Chinese reseller forums. Not sure why the phones aren't shipped in a factory reset state? It would save some grief. Luckily you didn't mess anything up repairing the imei

Sent from my JY-S3 using XDA Free mobile app

Hi Guys,
Version: Advanced

KK 4.4.4 S3SW 20150314

The issue that it can't register SIM in 4G network. For proved SIM card it's constantly searching for network,when:
- this SIM is set to provide mobile internet
- 4G is set in prefference for mobile network
This SIM does work and provides 4G at the same place with another phone.
When I switch to preffer 3G it starts working right away.
Original Jiayu S3 has this network params:
GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHZ
WCDMA 900/1900/2100MHZ
TD-SCDMA 1900/2000
TDD-LTE( B39 B40 B41）
FDD-LTE （B3 B7 B20）
The Jiayu S3 phone I received doesn't have Band 20 in the list of enabled LTE bands in Engineering menu.
The list of enabled bands: Band 1, Band 3, Band 5, Band 7, Band 38-41
I couldn't turn on/off band 20, it's greyed out.
Have you seen such version of Jiayu S3 Advanced 3GB NFC? (On the left side on pictures)
Is this a fake or wrong repaired version? I sent query to Jiayu.ES but they suggested to contact seller, which actually doesn't reply to me.

Photo sphere problem. Can only do about ~180 degrees when taking 360-degrees panorama. At a little over 180-degree turn, the first frame already meets with the most current frame hence you cannot do a complete 360-degree picture of your surrounding,

I have the same problem as dyurdz... Calibrations of compass and gyro doesn't solve the problem.

I believe this is a problem with the hall effect sensor. I don't think it is local to your phone I think it is a mediatek problem. I.e poor hardware design. I don't think there is anything that can be done about it. If you use a mapping application you will see at times it has you pointed in the wrong direction, like it says you are driving in reverse because it has gotten confused.

Since last week I got problem on my touchscreen display. On a part, in the middle of my screen, it won't react on touch. It kind of jump that part. It's on the whole width of the screen. It's with and without the protective glass on. I didn't drop my phone.
Can somebody help me or do I have to replace the screen or/and lcd?

Hello,
can't help you unfortunately.
I wanted to report a hardware problem too.
A few weeks ago my back soft button stopped working over night. The next day everything worked like it should again.
