Don't bother with that cm10.1 build. It's good but it's not that great. Something a *lot* better is coming down the pipe in a day or so. Let's just say that literally 15 minutes ago the cameras were fixed by lbcoder. And the Android 4.2.2 code upstream has evolved a lot in the last week. There's no longer any tearing in the display. I'd say you should have it in about 24-48 hours.

Also, there will be no cm10.1 release thread. xda won't give us a forum, so **** em. We're in talks with cyanogenmod to get the Relay officially added to cyanogenmod. That'll show them we don't need no steenking forum.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nocturin:
Loooking forward to testing it! I haven't used JBYet so this should be interesting.

And now my keyboard isnt working in the xda app. Yay.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] janejunx:
Thanks for the update! As much as I hated the camera in the Relay, I have missed it a few times in the week I've been without it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Jason78729:
Awesome news

Can't wait to test the new build. I'l be checking back frequently.

Let me know when it's cooked and I'll put it up on my FTP site.

Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] dillalade:
Amazing news Nard.

One thing I noticed on your initial cm10.1 release was there was no video or audio output with MHL.... plllllease if you get the chance to trial this, perhaps ya'll can fix it (your cm9 build of late had excellent video output but no audio... perhaps something can be learnt from the cm9 builds.)

Also when mhl was unplugged on cm10.1 the phone would tend to reboot. Just an fyi for your diagnostics.

Really cannot wait to plonk cm10.1 on this phone.

Buongiorno

Hello all,

I just thought I'd say hi to the community. Like quite a few of you, I'm transitioning from the MT4GS to the Relay 4G. Aside from a small hiccup where I bought a Relay 4G from a guy on Craigslist that had a bad IMEI, I'm now back with a second Relay 4G that is all good. I've already rooted it, updated to UVMA2, and patched the tethering fix - easy peasy.

I'm glad that development for this device seems to be picking up - so to all the devs out there... THANK YOU!

Looking forward to new ROMs, and if you guys need help beta testing I'll be happy to do my part.

[UPDATE (02 March 2013): Sold to Vike the Hube]​

Also - if anyone outside the US is looking for a new Relay 4G, I have one available for a reasonable price, already rooted and updated to the latest stock rom. PM if interested.

Thanks guys! :good:

Enter button for text messages

Hey, for you fellas that got one. Are you guys able to send a text message with the actual physical "Enter" button? I cannot for the love of my life find the setting to enable that. I keep having to send it with the send button on screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] croogrog:
If you arrow right at the end of the text then enter will send. But its no better than tapping the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Jax184:
Personally I find it nice that pressing enter won't send a text. It's saved me from accidentally sending a half finished text several times now.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nocturin:
Whelp... much better!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] WetLlama:
Maybe I missed it, but is anyone attempting to port stock JB (say, 4.1.2) to the Relay?

Also looking for the MA2 tethering fix, but having a bit of trouble... I'm going to blame it on being too early (almost noon here).
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] croogrog:
Which os are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] gtmaster303:
CM is essentially stock android with a few tweaks. It's usually the rom of choice for most users. If you're talking about a pure AOSP build, no that has not been done yet
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] WetLlama:
Wait, are we talking about CyanogenMod here? Last one of those I used was WAAAAAAY different than stock anything...

... sorry for the confusion, I told you it was early for me. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] mikeybot:
Wondering if anyone else is having this issue.

I haven't really tracked enough info about it to be sure, but I'll have the phone plugged in, get a notification that the battery is fully charged and it will display 100% but when I unplug it that the battery is not fully charged and the percentage reverts to what it actually is. I've had this happen at anywhere between 80 and 95%.

Now, I the Hyperion batteries(2) as back-ups and it is definitely happening with at least one of them, but I don't think/am not sure if it is happening with the original battery.

I have the newest CWM recovery and am using rooted MA2 ROM.

My phone did also take a swim a few months ago, but this is something very recent and after trying out the CM10.1 that was posted.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] WetLlama:
Would resetting the battery statistics help with that? Pretty sure that's an option in CW Recovery, right?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] janejunx:
Yes, my phone too thinks that it is fully charged well before it is.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] HibikiRush:
Does anyone issues using the hardware keyboard while having Swiftkey loaded as the input method? The alt and shift keys function as locks, so that if I hit shift once all text after that will be in capital, I will have to hit it again to get it back to lowercase. Same for alt. This does not happens when I have certain input methods loaded, it was not happening when I had Swype running.

Any idea if there is a fix for this? Like the new Swiftkey but I might have to go back to Swype since I use the hardware keyboard most of the time.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] janejunx:
I recall reading that this was a Swiftkey + Hardware Keyboard problem in general, and not specific to the Relay.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nocturin:
Ge ones LJ1 debloated stock rom, along with nard's flashable JL1 modem. I tried MA2 and got a bunch of issues, none have come back since I reverted. Waiting on 10.1 to try now :).

Weird. My old TP2 acted like that when it stopped making complete contact with all of the cells on the battery. half of the battery wasn't even used, but it was reporting a full charge. Battery life was shortened too about 3 hours, unless I cleaned/fiddled the contacts on the phone side of the battery connection. After I messed with them, it would recognize the full battery and I'd get my 2-3 days of use out of it again until oxidation severed the contact.

Good luck!

(if it went for a swim, that's prolly the issue)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] janejunx:
It's software. It doesn't hurt battery life, it just reports that it is charged before it actually is. It will still charge UP to 100%, but it starts telling you it's charged (green LED light) at 90%. Mine has never seen water and it's only a problem on the 10.1 build posted earlier (switching back to stock fixes it).
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nocturin:
I stand corrected :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] mikeybot:
I'm actually back on stock. I wound up doing a data/factory when coming back from CM10. I think the aftermarket batteries may have something to do with it(though they operated fine before *shrug*).

Just an odd thing and was wondering if was only me.

Attempted to charge up the Hyperion batteries. It seems they kind of plateau at about 88-90%.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] infernix:
the fix is to use tasker and the keyboard swap plugin. you create two tasks, one that triggers on keyboard open and switches keyboard to android default, and another one that does the opposite and switches back to swiftkey.

How To Root Samsung Galaxy S Relay Visual Tutorial

Here's a link to my video tutorial of how to root the Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G from T-Mobile for those who need it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKgemJTeRWo

Here's the link to my original thread with the steps: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2170947
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] orange808:
Sounds like you might have a hardware issue after all. (I mean the physical batteries, not the phone)

Still, there are some things you can try...

Go into recovery and use it to reset the battery stats. What will actually happen is: the current battery stats file will be deleted and Android will start a new one.

If that doesn't fix the issue, there's a more adventurous path. Pull the framework_res, crack it open, edit the power_profile, compile, and push it back.

UVMA2 tethering fix download

Don't know about JB... but I do know about the UVMA2 tethering fix.

The original link was:

But... that link appears to be dead; too many requests.

So I made this one up as a temp replacement (don't mean to intrude Nard, just trying to keep it alive):

A hash is always appreciated. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] WetLlama:
Urrrrr, okay. First off, thank you both for re-posting the download for that.

Secondly, maybe I'm just dense, but do I still have to "subscribe" to tethering to get it to work? I flashed the zip in CWM Recovery, then activated USB tethering, and the only page I can get to is the T-Mobile website. I know this isn't really a "T-Mob Q&A" thread, but what have I done wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] orange808:
Well, I can't tell what you did wrong--because I don't know what you did.

How did you set up your connection? Are you using any software or did you just try it directly? Are you using wifi or bluetooth? What device are you connecting? Do you know what "user agent" means?

Tell us about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] BinkyTClown:
Tethering is technically a no-no from Tmobile's perspective. They want you to activate it on your account for a pretty hefty monthly fee.

If you're ok with not playing by the rules, the way they're detecting you is the user agent on your browser. If you use Chrome or Firefox there are a number of addons that allow you to change user agents on the fly. You can just switch your browser to an agent Tmobile isn't searching for and you won't be redirected to their site.

I use Chrome and the addon I use is just called "User Agent Switcher." Works flawlessly.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] gee one:
I use firefox on my phone and I usually get the desktop sites, not mobile. I wonder if t-mo thinks I'm tethering when I'm just browsing from my phone?

Edit: nevermind, there is an option to request the desktop version in firefox, so it's probably a mobile user agent.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] BinkyTClown:
I also believe they only monitor you for tethering if you go over a certain data point. I know sometimes I have no issue using the default agent string.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] WetLlama:
Eek, yeah, sorry for the lack of details; I work in Desktop Support, so I should have known better. But yeah the bolded is what I was looking for. Otherwise, I'm connecting my phone via USB and activating tethering through the T-Mobile Hotspot app.

I'm almost always okay with not playing by the rules, and User Agent is what I'd forgotten. I suppose I could have looked it up, but today's been crazy and it was easier to leave a message and check back later.

Thanks to both of you for your responses!

Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G user agent spoofing

So I downloaded the User Agent Switcher addon for Chrome, its also available for FireFox.

Spoofing the User Agent (UA) isn't always fool-proof, for instance it probably won't change the JavaScript User Agent string, and I don't believe it affects navigator.userAgent, but it will work fine for general server-side UA sniffing. Personally I've never had a problem with T-Mobile when I set up a hot spot, even without changing the UA, so you'll probably want to only play around with these strings if you are having issues.

In case you wanted to know what the User Agent string for our default Relay 4G Android browser (with UVMA2 update) is:

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.0.4; en-us; SGH-T699 Build/IMM76D) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30​

Here are a few more UA strings for you guys to play around with...

(also note the "en-us;" for English - US, which can be substituted with other language-country groupings if need be)

Dolphin mobile version on SGH-T699

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.0.4; en-us; SGH-T699 Build/IMM76D) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30​

Opera Mini mobile version on SGH-T699

Opera/9.80 (Android; Opera Mini/7.5.32193/28.4079; U; en) Presto/2.8.119 Version/11.10​

Chrome mobile version on SGH-T699

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.0.4; SGH-T699 Build/IMM76D) AppleWebKit/537.22 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/25.0.1364.123 Mobile Safari/537.22​

And of course...

Internet Explorer 5.05 desktop version on Windows NT 3.51 :p

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.05; Windows NT 3.51)​

That should keep T-Mobile guessing :)

Hi! Sorry if it's not the right thread to post, but I didn't found any specific forum about the realy.

I'm looking to buy a samsung qwerty and right now I'm between the relay and the captivate glide. After reading some posts here, it seems the relay is better, including it's keyboard performance, i'm right? How the 5MP camera performs in pictures and videos compare to the 8MP in the glide?

As here in South America Samsung don't sell this phones, I'm planning to buy one in for example ebay. Could you give me some hints before buying?

Is better to buy an already unlock phone, or buy one not unlocked and the unlock it on my own?

How about those phones that say bad esn or bad imei? Can they be unlocked?

What happend with the phone if then I travel to US and try to use it? Would it work or not?

Thanks in advance for your help!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Jax184:
The camera on the Relay is pretty poor, but I've never seen a phone camera that looked good.

The keyboard is pretty good. It's no Sidekick, but it's nice.

You can unlock it yourself for free, so don't worry about getting an unlocked phone.

A phone with a bad ESN is a stolen phone. You could probably use it in your country... but do you want to?

If you have a phone with a bad ESN and bring it to the US it probably won't work. Can't say for sure, never tried.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] xdoza:
Hi Jax, thanks for your response!

So as I understand for your response, it's better to buy for example a t-mobile not unlocked, and unlock myself? The price for a new relay is rather high to me so i'm planning to buy a used phone and want to be sure I could unlock then without problems. That was another reason to also look at the captivate that it has lower price, but I could buy a used relay if it's worth it.

Regards!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] gbmannc:
The relay has a better keyboard, and a far faster processor and graphics chip. Camera on either isn't that great. There really isn't a reason I can think to get a captivate glide.

I spoke a bit too soon last week when I said the camera was fixed. It did indeed function, but it wasn't 100%. It still crashed the phone after use, for example. If you can build from source it is fully functional now. We will release a build very soon (sorry for the teasing) Also many thanks for the offer of hosting. I will definitely put the final version on a stable host. (Please don't thank this post lol)

It's too bad we don't have a forum, what we're missing now is a good touchwiz based rom. The tethering fix I've released is just the tip of the iceberg of what can be done with a good stock based rom.

I used to be runnng on a rooted stock MA2 with gee-one's "uvma2_goodies" and nardholio's "Relay_tetheringfix_ma2". I recently upgraded to nardholio's CM10.1.

After upgrading, I accidentally deleted my nandroid backup of that MA2 setup. If I ever want to go back to a similar MA2-based configuration, will the following steps do the trick? ...

1. Flash gee-one's "uvma2_rooted"

2. Flash gee-one's "uvma2_goodies"

3. Flash nardholio's "Relay_tetheringfix_ma2"

I'm not planning on going back to that MA2-based setup at this point. I just want to know if the outlined procedure will work, if i ever want to do so.

Thank you in advance.

You could just flash 1 and 3- the rooted stock rom and the tethering fix. #2 is the radio and tz.mbn file, which isn't changed wtih cm10 or any other normal rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TheDigitalBug:
I found that if you wipe system, you still need to flash #2, otherwise you'll have radio/carrier problems. Although, I am not sure why.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] onebornoflight:
Thanks for the update, and we eagerly await the new build. Hopefully my car charger will actually charge my phone with this build.

As far as the Touchwiz rom goes... I can report that Tweakwiz isn't compatible with gee one's rooted stock rom, I flashed it and got nothing but problems. I thought a lighter TW launcher might've made stock more efficient, but it didn't work properly at all... just made TW crash. So... yeah.

So I decided to take the plunge this morning and flash the cm-10.1-20130217-UNOFFICIAL-apexqtmo ROM that was posted a couple of weeks ago... FANTASTIC!

Sure its an unofficial port, its not marked as stable yet, and the camera isn't supported in this build, but WOW - it is stable enough to use as a daily driver, and once the updated version comes out it should be fantastic. :)

I'll echo Nardholio's comments that it will be nice to get some stock ROM modding going, but for the moment I'm happy with CM10.1. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Jason78729:
Also started using cm-10.1-20130217-UNOFFICIAL-apexqtmo ROM today. I agree with SpaceSpeed, I've used many roms that aren't "stable" yet and this is one of the best I've tried so far. I can't wait for the next release. I spent years with the CM builds on the Motorola Defy by Quarx this is an amazingly good build for such an early stage. I'd love to test builds before Nardholio releases them if I could receive that honor. Nardholio pm if you need me to experiment. I've modded 20+ different phones without bricking one so I'm not scared to test 95% of what you'd need me to (with a please I'd probably even try anything). Thanks for the great work. Thanks to Gee One for the support he's providing also and anybody else I may be forgetting. We don't need our own forum (would be very nice XDA) we just need great support from our great devs.

On a side note: Not everything is going to work on the first (or even 100th) builds. Just read the forum and decide if the things that are known not to work will affect your phone use in a major way, if not enjoy the opensource world of android and linux.
