Thanks, I also put in a request.

---------- Post added at 08:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 AM ----------

Well i'm looking at this from Europe's point of view and the G2 (T-Mobile USA only at the start) was already popular and had dev-support before the Desire Z was released in the rest of the world. I don't think that besides the S4 everything sucks about this phone, that's just your opinion.

And remember that the Desire Z/G2 wasn't the fastest phone out there at it's release. It's big brother the Desire HD was bigger, faster and more popular but that didn't stop the Desire Z/G2 getting popular here on XDA.

This phone is one of the fastest out there now at it's release and is quite unique, cause it's the only full qwerty android phone out there with up-to-date hardware.

There is no word that Samsung is going to release this phone anywhere else but who knows what Samsung or T-Mobile is going to do.

I really hope that they release an international version... anyway, would it work flawlessy if i import this sweet device to the eu?

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Frag1le:
Yes it would, but it'll probably have a T-Mobile simlock so you need to root and unlock it.

It's quadband so it looks as if this will work without problem in the EU.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Matze5800:
Great, thanks :)

That would be first thing i do anyway :D

I just stumbled upon the Motorola Photon Q 4G.

Yes it's been out for almost a month but i completely missed this.

Damn what a phone, how could i have missed this?

4.3" display, 540x960 resolution, Snapdragon S4, MicroSD, full qwerty.

I've got lots of reading to do.

/edit

ok now i know why i missed this, it has a nonremoveable sprint simcard.

Nevermind my excitement...*sigh*

Build quality is nice actully. Besides being light, it holds up very well. I should know, I've owned it for 24 hours now travelling and I already dropped it once...ooops :) not a scratch though. I owned a g1 and a g2 before going tothis one. Overall, so far I've been pretty happy except for the fact that there's no root guide yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] lbcoder:
That sounds like my cue...

The problem with hardware keyboards is that the devices probably cost about twice as much to manufacture. So naturally, the hardware vendors are going to try to promote devices without keyboards and soak their customers for just as much money for them. I.e., they're more profitable.

Nevertheless, there are those of use who won't settle for this scam and insist on a phone with a keyboard. Obviously for them, some profit is better than none, which is why these phones are available.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] blk_jack:
As much as I agree with some of your points, my main concern is that we're basically boned for future QWERTY devices and that this could be our best option for a long time. I don't think there will be another QWERTY device like the g2 and as such we need to start making that assumption and, for someone like me, that means looking at options more realistically.

In terms of development, consider that for the Vision, since ICS, we've only had 4 devs. Of those developers, only a few can actually program, so most of the development for the Vision with ICS/JB is merging/cherry-picking existing patches from CAF or other repos that share the same hardware (or CM, etc). What it comes down to is shared hardware, and the Relay has a chipset used by some very popular devices. The fact that the S3 and the One S both use the same chipset is a very good thing for us. The G2 doesn't have such devices to lean on (and never did), especially ones that could potentially get Key Lime (like the S3/One S). Hell, there isn't a single HTC device that uses the same hardware for ICS.

I also think there's a high possibility for the Relay to get released on other carriers, in other countries. That's one of the main reasons for the Vision's success -- because it has been released in a dozen different countries. You may think the G2 itself is extremely popular, but from what I've gathered from Mimicry users, G2 owner numbers pale in comparison to the global DZ users.

So who knows. At this point I think that if another comparable QWERTY does not come out by January/February you will see the majority of the Vision's userbase either switch to the Relay or switch to the new Nexus/S3. Regardless, QWERTY users are a dying breed and we need to be realistic about that.

---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

CM official support depends on just two things: 1) Does the device share hardware with a popular device that gets official new Android releases? 2) Does the device have at least one maintainer?

The vision only qualifies for #2 since there are no other devices sharing its hardware on ICS/JB, but we have some very good maintainers in the Andromadus team.

The Relay is already rootable and creating a CWM to support the screen is trivial. Porting CM9/CM10 will be infinitely easier than doing so on the vision, with everything already likely working out of the box.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] o>c:
Now I would like to hear something about battery life, just wonder what kind of chemistry there is with the combination of a S4 soc and an amoled of modest size and resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] GinoAMelone:
Backup there Jack. There is a root for the Relay already? I haven't found one. Played around with the new restore-based root technique a little bit yesterday. Promising, but no success.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] wagz:
Well, I'm a bit of a power user as I travel 80% of the year and live on my phone (my g2 was barely alive when I replaced it), but I got 4 and a half hours of life with hotspot left on. That was comparable with my g2 until I got the mega battery that made people tell me my phone was pregnant. So all in all id say its comparable to the g2 but you get a prettier screen and more horsepower. I anticipate buying another 3500mah battery for this phone when one comes out, though I just hope it'll be near field compatible like the current battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] :
I'm on AT&T and plan on getting one of these soon.. it appears to be fully compatible with AT&T HSPA+ out of the box, which is very rare for a T-Mobile phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] hobbiteer:
As an added bonus as I read somewhere else, and checked myself, it's an unlocked bootloader from start. Just Power+Volume Down+ Home and you boot into it. I'm switching back to my Nokia until root comes along though. Need that for Droidwall.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Frag1le:
Guys, come on. No need for such posts. We're all here cause we're excited about a new and fast qwerty device.

lbcoder's posts could be nicer, but imo he wasn't calling anyone a moron. He was just stating that it's a good thing that morons (i guess he means normal non-tech users, who whine on these forums) won't get this phone and thus he hopes this will make it popular among advanced users and developers, resulting in a high developer to moron ratio.

I do agree with lbcoder that you can't compare the Doubleshot/MT4GS with this phone cause this S4/Adreno 225 is so much more advance then the S3/Adreno 220 in the Doubleshot/MT4GS.

So this phone is a bigger step-up to the G2/Desire Z, but that's kinda obvious.

No need to give each other a hard time here when the topic only wants to know if you're planning on getting the SGSR4G.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Frag1le:
Did you check yet to see if this phone is SIM locked or not?

With *#7465625# for example or the SGS secret app or something from Google Play.

I also wonder if the SGS3 unlocking works the same on this phone.

This phone badly needs its own forum imo.

ps. i never owned a Samsung phone but this code seems to show the locked status on the SGS3 and as this device has the same SoC and software i guess it'll work for the Relay 4G as well, but i could be wrong of course.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] hendusoone:
It is SIM locked. I just popped in an old SIM I have from some travels in Canada, and it's prompting for a network unlock pin.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] gee one:
Last I remember, T-mo had a pretty good policy about sim-unlocking phones. I think you were allowed one every 90 days per device. That goes back to the dream days, since the G2 was ripped open by scotty2 et al. Not sure if the current policy is any different.

Speaking of the dream, I still keep mine around for fun and profit. It's fun to go back to a donut rom every once in a while, but just for a short while.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] hendusoone:
Yep... when I purchased the phone, I asked about getting it unlocked. They said they'll be able to do it starting 40 days from the release of the phone.

You think they'd make an exception for someone who's been with them for years, but nope. At least, not at the retail locations.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] o>c:
Will the phone get unlocked by buying it without contract?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] hendusoone:
No. That's how I bought mine - off contract (on one of the old Even More Plus plans), paid full price. A bit annoying, but not world-ending. I'd only really be pissed if I had international travel planned in the next month and a half.

So... rooting this thing. I haven't had any luck yet, though I've heard that flashing the galaxy s3 CWM recovery will enable a root ADB shell while in recovery, but have no display. I'm not really comfortable doing that, especially since I don't yet have a full recovery method if anything goes semi-wrong. Anyone aware of a better method?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] blk_jack:
Look into CWM commands that you can run in recovery to create backups & such. Tehre are a bunch you can do in the shell. As for root, you can just mount /system read/write and copy a su bin over.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] hendusoone:
Yes, all of that makes sense, and I fully understand it - but what worries me is if something goes wrong that prevents the CWM recovery from working at all, and suddenly I'm without any recovery on the phone. I'd feel more comfortable doing it if I had a stock recovery that I could restore through Odin in case something goes wrong when flashing the CWM recovery.

I'm not very experienced with Odin itself, but it doesn't look like there's a way to dump what's currently on the phone to restore later.

Would a full backup using the Samsung Kies application also back up/restore the stock recovery? It doesn't look like it - that appears to just do user data. Is there some other way I could back up my current recovery to restore in case of an error?

Maybe I should just wait for an official CWM release for this phone... though I do want to restore all my app data that I pulled from my G2 with Titanium Backup...
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] gee one:
Anyone see the stratosphere 2 that is going to release on verizon? It's a samsung that is very similar to the relay, but with a super amoled screen and an 8mp camera. Still qwerty, 4" screen, s4 cpu. Don't know about micro sd, battery, etc.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] o>c:
Ahhh Verizon...offers phone models that are largely un-usable outside the US soil.

Someone mentioned the G2 is so popular thanks to the Desire Z released abroad. I am pessimistic about the Relay 4G's worldwide availability :rolleyes:, it doesn't look like a model that Samsung will sell to the rest of the world.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] gee one:
Yeah, Verizon and Sprint have 20th century issues with their technology. However, the fact that another qwerty phone is being released gives me some hope that manufacturers will be receptive to consumer demand and make phones that people actually want, not what is driven to outperform the iphone. Of course, they could also do both, which would still result in an acceptable phone. :)

I thought I saw the off contract price for the relay was $400. Can it get much lower than that? Does anyone remember the deal for the G2?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] GrievousMcG:
There is no mention of this phone or an international equivalent being release in Australia and as far as I know neither in the UK.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Hesster:
If you get it on the magenta deal days promo, I think it comes out to a bit less. $100 down + $15 a month for 20 months - $100 rebate = $300. Double check the monthly payment amount though, since I made the calculations based on their press release, which also stated the MSRP as $350. Seriously, TMO has given out a ton of conflicting info about this phone's price as well as its processor speed. They should fire whoever writes their copy.

If you don't want to do the installment thing, you might as well wait until it starts popping up at the dealers like Costco or Amazon in a few weeks. By then it should have full recovery so you won't risk bricking your phone.

Rooted system image, flashable with Odin

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B1lS6BTmOE55VHlDcmlJUWVmcDg

The reason the rooted system image is so much larger than the original is it's a direct dump from the phone, so it includes all the empty space on the partition.

If you want to play around while someone compiles a CWM for this phone, it is true what they said, you can flash the SGSIII CWM and it will allow adb access but no on phone video. I also had to go into my Device Manager to manually set the driver as a Samsung adb device because I don't think the Samsung drivers are updated just yet. You can flash the stock Odin to get back to regular recovery and it would be trivial to create an Odin flashable version of just the recovery.

Far easier to just flash the rooted system. If you get FC after flashing, clear cache and/or factory reset.

Standard disclaimers apply, your warranty is now void, I am not responsible if you create a brick, back up your efs before messing around, etc etc etc

I can confirm this works after extracting .md5 file, renaming to .tar, flashing in Odin via PDA, and doing a Factory Reset. Thanks for your help!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] gee one:
Thanks for the heads up about the magenta days sale. The CSR couldn't give me a price for when it's available for customer care to sell on Oct 17th. I'll give them a call tomorrow to see if I can get more info from them. I have a feeling I might as well buy it on sale and be done with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] gee one:
So I was poking around a little bit and looked at some of the images. There is an ATT logo and T-mo logo in the recovery to handle the update. Is this a stock Galaxy S thing? I can see it might be easy for Samsung to just maintain "one recovery to flash them all"? I don't want to imply that this phone will appear on other carriers. Is it normal to have two carriers logos in the recovery?

Here are some images I grabbed:
[HTC Vox] ma7allawy:
I searched all over google and other fourms here, but no luck, here is the problem:

I wanted to flash an Arabic ROM on my HTC vox (s710) , I flashed first the Vox's ROM (RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90_Ship)

and it worked great, but found out that there was still no Arabic support.

I got this ROM (HTC_Excalibur_ARA_1.15.415.11_4.1.13.41_02.88.90),

as I thought that the device was already unlocked, it would accept any ROM for any device, turns out it doesnt.

Just before the flashing is over, it gave me an ERROR : FLASH WRITE, and my HTC just went dead in a heart beat.

Know the phone has that Green LED at the top on, as long as its connected to the laptop or to the battery, but just wont boot - DEAD

(P.S -- When connected to the laptop, something activates but still cant access the phone)

I tried booting in safe mode by pressing and holding the camera button and connect USB cable, but doesnt work, tried couple other stuff but still no difference. Please I need help , is there something I can do ? is it dead forever or can it be still fixed
[HTC Vox] tobbbie:
Sad - you flashed an Excalibur ROM on a VOX - so the Vox is plain dead :(

While the devices are quite similar (same chipset and even same NAND storage) it still seems that the bootloader is not identical and this is killing any further access.

In theory you could flash via a JTAG physical connection but this is for true HW freaks and you also need special HW + SW to do so.

Bypassing the CID check (with USPL or JumpSPL) also kills all sanity checks in the bootloader (SPL) that prevents cross-device flashing (and a dead device after doing so).
[HTC Vox] ma7allawy:
So I am doomed, or is there another easy way to reflash it or something.. If i took it to the nearest HTC center, would they be able to do something or not ?
[HTC Vox] tobbbie:
There are ways to reflash, but all rely on the SPL being OK. Sadly this is what you killed with the wrong ROM - so there is no hope. I believe that service centers just use the same USB connected SW upgrade via SPL - there is no reason to have any dedicated HW devices as normal users cannot kill their device the way you did.

A glimpse of hope could be that only the USB and LCD access is wrong and the SPL would work otherwise - not very probable though. Is the device still charging? Do you see orange and green light when connecting to charger?

If so then you may search for the upgrade via the "Gold Card" method. This is a specially prepared (some key in the bootsector of the card) sd card which has the .nbh file stored in root directory. Boot + SW upload would follow a special sequence then which you would have to execute "blind" as LCD does not work. Again: I doubt the SPL is ok enough and the "blind" upgrade would have its own challenges.
[HTC Vox] ma7allawy:
Actually I went to the service center today and I was surprised when he said that he was going to perform a JTAG. Didn't really know that they could do that, but yeah.

Thanks anyway.. Just for future reference is there an Arabic ROM for HTC s710, because i searched the internet for over a week and didn't find one.
[HTC Vox] tobbbie:
wow, this is great service - just tell what they will charge you for that - and how long it takes. Maybe they send it to some special center where they can do that, so it takes time.

Do they have an Arabic ROM for the Vox which they could put there?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarplayerone:
So I'm on one TW-based 4.0.4 ROM and I'd like to use another.

Problem is I don't like that ROM's wifi/bluetooth/etc toggles (prefer 15 toggles but no centered clock- have that on current rom). i also don't like the re-spaced dock (to make it narrower).

Which .apk's should I back up from my current ROM (built on the same base) so that I can flash back over to system/app to get the look I want.

Furthermore, could anyone provide a somewhat comprehensive list of .apk's and what they correspond to in terms of UI
