Compass: Well I guess so since when I use the GPS Status app the it can find North easily.

G - sensor: Assuming you mean accelerometer then yes. The screen rotates from portrait to landscape and vice versa automatically.

Thanks.

@ AI_1604,
Some folks say that my voice sounds faint on the other end. I'm wondering if my microphone is faulty. Do you have any problems with your microphone?

No problems here
May be worth trying a factory reset?

Can anyone please confirm if it has compass and G sensor?

Definitely has both.
I have compass app installed 'Marine Compass' which uses both.

Currently I use SE headset with my Blade. Do you know if it is compatible with Jiayu G2/G3?

A setting issue do you think? Hmm alright I'll have a go. Backup apps and data using Titanium I suppose before doing this?

Why didn't you get the 1gb ram version? It's only £95 on fastcardtech. My brother just brought, and received his a few weeks ago.

I've ordered from aliexpress... the 1Gb costs 30$ more it's 22% more

edit: in fastcardtech I see that the 512mb is 99£ and the 1gb 112£... and the value pack isn't included... I've paid 140$ (87£) for mine and with the security of aliexpress...

Hi, about to buy one of these. Does the GPS works well? Some reports of problems above.

Thanks.

I've read about some problems with the gps and a working fix... but my phone's gps (kernel and build of 17 oct 2012) seems to work very well... he founds me within 20meters, can't understand where is the problem, maybe the fix has been integrated in my build, I hope so...

There is a G2S version just launching btw with 1.2ghz, 1gb ram 8mp camera, not sure if the battery is larger or not.

[Al_1604]

G2S has 20% faster processor,  4" 960 x 540 'full fit' screen (there are suggestions that it may change to a 720p screen in the future), alloy metal 'border', 9.9mm thick compared to 10.6 for the G2, no physical 'home' key.
Battery will be 2200mAH (interchangeable with the G2 2050mAH one).

IMO a nice looking phone.

[leopesto]

seems really good but prize to occident will be probably around 200$, for 220$ you get a G3...

[FrankieADZ]

anyone know when the G2S is out?

Hi Guys!

I have another chinese phone name it star a1200. My only bad experience this type of phone the micropohone volume is low..when i talking somebody in the street our noise places.. the microphone is quite. so it is very annoying..:S

I plan to buy g2 but my question is..what is the experience about the microphone? The microphone can provide normal volume level?

[Al_1604]

Personally I have no problem with the microphone level.  I think I had one occasion when someone said they couldn't hear me and I found I was covering the microphone with my hand.
On another point, I'd recommend the 'desk charger' and two batteries option, this seems to charge better than charging in the phone (battery shows 100% after a charge and doesn't suddenly drop), I currently have 26% indicated after 2 days and 16 hours (standard 2050mAh battery), that's running with 2 sims with wi-fi & bluetooth on permanently (3G data off most of the time).

My brother just ordered a Jiayu G3 - bigger, higher resolution screen and battery. I will do a comparison once he gets it.
