[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TheDigitalBug:
So I flashed CM10.1. Outside of what everyone reported, one thing I noticed that's missing is the screenshot feature.

I figured out what went wrong. When doing wipe data/factory reset in recovery, that doesn't actually wipe /system. You have to go to mounts and storage and format /system there. Also, the rom won't work if you don't flash the uvma2_goodies.zip afterwards.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] wedg11383:
Screenshot can be added to the power button menu in Settings/System. I don't know about a hard button shortcut for it though if that's what you're looking for.

One more observation. If you enable the AM/PM in the status bar it will cut off the close all notifications at the top when the hours are double digits. My G2 had the same issue when I had jelly bean but the devs corrected it so maybe someone can inquire with them how to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] croogrog:
Re-flashed and it is working properly now. Thanks for the response

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] jarrodlombardo:
I'm having a weird problem. When last I posted, I had just gotten the OTA update to MA2 and then flashed CWM and root. Today, I wanted to add the MA2 tethering fix. I still have root, but I can't get into CWM. When I boot holding VolUp and Home, it goes into the stock recovery. Anyone know what's gone wrong/how to fix it so I can get into CWM? I hope it's just user error and not something actually broken.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] stephenclower:
Greetings,

Does anyone know if it's possible to adjust the amount of audio that gets buffered for the Relay? I'm probably the only blind person using the device, and I'm not finding the responsiveness when entering and reviewing text nearly as instantaneous as my aging G2. I don't expect anyone to go out of his way for this, but a general direction in which to start poking would be great.

Also, I'm seeing a strange issue with the arrow keys when scrolling through lists. If I open something like the system settings, I can only down arrow through what's displayed on the screen. To go farther, I have to first go up a few times and then down very rapidly. This occurs in CM 9 and 10 for the Relay, but not in the stock ROM or in CM for other devices (like the G2). Again, pointers welcome.

Thanks for taking the suckitude out of this phone, guys. Even with the nonfunctional camera, I'm glad to finally be rid of the stock Samsung firmware for good.

Not related to this device, but is there any way to post to XDA from the web without the CAPTCHA BS? I obviously can't see the image, and the audio is a joke. I'll post from the app if need be, but it's slow going on the Relay's tiny keyboard.

Thanks,

Steve
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] wedg11383:
Has anyone else who has moved to CM 10 noticed a drop in bluetooth audio quality. I though I was going crazy but apparently its a big issue with 4.2, even for stock devices. Also there is no metadata streaming because apparently they haven't finished working on AVRCP for 4.2.

I'm starting to think I'm the only one who doesn't know about the issues I report though.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] dillalade:
Is it just me or has the above cwm drastically slowed down the charging time for the device. It took hourrrrrrrrs for my device to charge. And was kinda stuck charging at 0% for atleast an hour.

Nard, Anychance of getting a hold of the previous cwm just to clarify this effect (in a cwm flashable would be very handy.)

I can only point the finger at the new cwm as I've tried cm9 & cm10 on the new cwm. Where cm9 did not have this issue on the previous cwm.

Thanks for all this great work :thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] croogrog:
I was thinking it was taking a long time to charge too, but I never timed it to see how long it really takes. I assumed it was because I was using it intermittently while charging.

Also Apollo seems to start each song at the same volume regardless of the volume setting. Adjusting the volume will set it to the system level again, but when the next song starts the volume jumps. Just a warning I found it to be too loud with earbuds.

Is there somewhere I should be reporting bugs for cm10.1 running on the T699?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] wedg11383:
I had extreme batter issues at first on CM 10 as well. It seemed to be draining while on the charger. After a few discharge/recharge cycles though, it seems to be back to where it was. It might just have to recalibrate itself a little.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TheDigitalBug:
Noticed a couple things with CM10.1 that haven't been mentioned:

Automatic brightness control doesn't seem to work. It just gets stuck in one brightness level and never adjusts.

If you start an audio file form the audio controls in the notification pull down, and if I listen to a very long audio file like a podcast, it will eventually stop and clear itself from memory. I am guessing it runs out of allocated memory or gets garbage collected for some reason.

Edit: I take back what I said about the brightness settings. It's just that the default settings are set so low that it seems like it never changes.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] wedg11383:
It seems like it adjusts for me but not well. I had to change most of the increment levels to maximum brightness in the adjust screen just to use it outdoors.

Your other comment about running out of memory was interesting because when I watch video in the browser it seems to just stop and my first thought was it was out of memory for it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] croogrog:
Is h+ the same as 4G?

I never see the signal say 4G. It usually stays on 3G and then says h+ when I send data. I assume this is due to the wcdma preferred setting in settings/more/mobile networks/network mode, and is a power saving feature.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] RazoE:
Technically T Mobile has no 4G, just "3.5G" but it performs as fast if not faster than most real 4G networks, so they named it that. It is known as HSPA+, which is why you get the H icon.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] croogrog:
Thanks for the reply. I get what's going on now I will forget about using 4G, as it is vague, and will now stick to the actual name of the connection.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] onebornoflight:
CM 10.1 is FANTASTIC. Reminded me why I rooted to begin with lol. I am seeing the text "tearing" as described and the camera isn't working, of course, and TiBK couldn't restore my WiFi hotspots but those are all minor inconveniences at best. Byebye Touchwiz! Thanks team ApexQ!

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nocturin:
I'm actually going to be switching back to the LJ1 debloat rom and modem. I've been having odd performance/battery issues and right now my cell standby service is 2% behind my screen. Last night phone went from 80% to 7% in a matter of two hours with no one messing with it.

Odd thing is everything else is still the same. *shrug*

I'll be able to edit the wiki and add some more posts to my thread tonight. It's hard to work on things like this without a desk :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] MTMTE:
I noticed the same issue with Apollo and the "Android Music Player" app (the 2.3 Gingerbread build of the music player) from the app store.

My workaround for now is to use the Amazon MP3 app, as it will play the music on your device (as well as their cloud) and has a similar Widget.

This an AMAZINGLY stable rom! I've tested quite a few things. I know off the top of my head that VPN works and that's sweet.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] croogrog:
I noticed that my battery has been running down quickly too. 100% to 5% in 8 hrs. Before switching to cm 10.1 I could go for 2+ days. So I did some searching and it seems that it may have to do with wifi which I have had on continuously. I am going to disable wifi and time my battery life again.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] onebornoflight:
Anyone had issues not charging unless the phone is off?

EDIT: had to return to stock to charge battery. Gonna fully charge and flash again to see what may have gone wrong, if anything.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] croogrog:
I was going to flash gee one's rom last night but the download took forever. So I only got the cwm above flashed and I left my phone with wifi off over night. Battery went from 100% to 95%. I turned on wifi and its been 2.5hrs and still only down to 83%.

My guess is that the power issues were caused by the cwm nardholio posted with cm10.1. Though I don't understand why that may be.

If you are running cm10.1 and are having power issues please try this and confirm/deny my assumptions.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] janejunx:
battery is fine here

I flashed both the new CWM and the 10.1 from Nardholio's post and I have SIGNIFICANTLY better battery performance than I did before. Like, it's not even comparable.

I'm connected to wifi at work and home and 4G in-between. I do NOT use Bluetooth - perhaps that's the culprit?

I was flashed up to the newest OTA updates before I updated to 10.1.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] PR0XIDIAN:
I might be a little late in my reply, but look up triangle away. It can remove that.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nocturin:
I'm using geeone's CWM, and battery life with the LJ1 rom was greatly increased. With the MA2 rom, battery life is significantly reduced. Anecdotal, but I'm re-flashing the LJ1 rom. I might try the 10.1 rom because I've never used JB, but I'd miss touchwiz :silly:

I don't use bluetooth, ever, ever. In my situation, it seems the battery life has been more rom dependant than anything else.

Have you tried it?

Linky?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] janejunx:
I spoke way too soon; during this recharge period, it seems to be charging insanely slowly and draining far too quickly? I literally haven't touched anything ROM or CWM-wise since everything was just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] croogrog:
After flashing gee one's cwm I still have 40% after 21hrs with out charging. Looks like I'm keeping cm 10.1:)

I don't see why the cwm would have any effect on batt life but its the only thing I changed.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] gee one:
I did patch the recovery so that it woud charge properly when the phone was off, but I'm not sure if this has anything to do while the phone is on.

Odd for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] croogrog:
It may have to do with the init/ueventd files that you used in your version of recovery. I could understand that the kernel would look at those at boot.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] demkantor:
Jax184, super awesome you did that, I don't even have one of these phones... yet but I'm sure ill use your guide just like I used your sk4g one! Rock on!

It will never happen. One drop and its scratched for life. Of course carbon fiber will not have that problem. Ha ha.

I'm specifically interested in performance, battery life and free RAM available.

At the risk of spamming the thread, I have to take a moment to thank you, Jax--for both the SK4G and the Relay hardware guides... We all appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nocturin:
This is a stupid question - how do I revert modems?

I've gone back to geeones debloated LJ1 rom, phone's working better, but I'm still using the MA2 modem. It's the only thing I can think that's causing this.

How can I monitor data traffic to find out what application (if it's an application) is causing these insane cell standby power draws?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Jax184:
That's an interesting question. I was surprised to see how high the cell standby was showing on my phone, but never ran anything before MA2 to compare it to. Thought it was normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] croogrog:
If you are actively using your phone little enough that screen is not #1 in power consumption, then I would not be surprised that you use most of your power in standby.

On my phone screen is the power hog 65% followed by standby 10% os 9% ect.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] gee one:
I think Nardholio posted an LJ1 modem several pages back.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nocturin:
My best combo so far as been LJ1 rom + modem. I've had about 2 weeks on gee one's LJ1 and his MA2. Reverted back to LJ1 due to my issue above.

Using LJ1 I had great battery life. So now I'm back to the LJ1 rom and I'll attempt to reflash the LJ1 modem to resolve it.

This was normally the situation with my phone. Seeing cell standby above screen is what clued me into an issue. I need to find out how to monitor traffic so I can see if it's an individual app that I've installed that's causing it.

I've got my phone seriously downlocked (810/384) so this shouldn't be happening. Screen should still be at the top of that battery list and I use it all the time.

@geeone, I'll give that a shot. Don't know if it will actually "wipe" the changed MA2 applied though. You said it added a folder and some files?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] janejunx:
Perhaps I'm just not finding it, but where's the downgrade to the LJ1 modem? I'm only seeing the flash up to the MA2...
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] gee one:
The modem shouldn't affect any files since it has its own partition. You might be thinking of the tethering fix which had frameworks-res.apk and a csc xml file.

Can someone help me find it? Found his LJ1 roms, but no modem :(. I have no idea how to search a thread just by username so it makes it more difficult.

or do I have to flash his LJ1 rom from November? If so, I don't know if it would "Downgrade" mah radio because it's already a more update version.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] HippoMan:
To wipe or not to wipe when installing 10.1?

Forgive me if I missed some posts here, but could someone summarize the "wiping" steps which are needed before installing nardholio's 10.1 over the rooted MA2 rom? ... or point me to the message which describes this?

I know how to install that rom from within recovery. Specifically, I want to know what I should wipe and what doesn't need to be wiped before installing; should I reformat /system? ... etc. ...

Thank you.

.​
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] HippoMan:
Well, I tried wiping everything and reformatting /system. I installed nardholio's 10.1 and the jb gapps specified above. Things are working, but I lost my ability to make calls. I get no signal (no bars, nothing), even though I set, reset, and re-reset my t-mobile connection credentials.

Perhaps I over-wiped.

Should I also install one of the radio patches?

I was on a rooted MA2 before upgrading to 10.1, if that makes a difference.

For now, I've restored to my backup of the rooted MA2 system. I'll go back to 10.1 once I figure out this phone issue.

Thank for insights and suggestions.

NEVER MIND! :) ... coincidental SIM card problem.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TheDigitalBug:
Try flashing the ma2 radio that was posted earlier and check if you still can't make calls.

Issues/questions about nardholio's CM 10.1 rom

I've been using nardholio's excellent CM10.1 rom for a while, and I'm quite happy with it. It works plenty well enough for me to keep using it on my device.

However, there are a few relatively minor issues and questions that have come up for me which I want to discuss ...

1. When using this rom, I notice that WiFi sometimes turns on automatically if I am out of range of a cell signal. This occurs even though I always explicitly set WiFi to "Off". I can't reliably reproduce this yet. It seems to occur maybe 25 percent of the time that I lose the cell signal but am in range of a WiFi hotspot that I have used before. I'm not sure about the following, but it also seems that sometimes, the device boots up with WiFi on, even though I'm almost positive that I explicitly turned it off before restart. Are these behaviors bugs or features? If it's the latter, does anyone know how set WiFi so that it always stays irrevocably turned off until I explicitly turn it on?

2. In the rooted MA2 rom that I was previously using, I got WiFi tethering to work by installing nardholio's Relay_tetheringfix_MA2.zip. However, with the CM10.1 rom, WiFi tethering doesn't work, as described later in this paragraph. I can't get WiFi tethering to work with PdaNet+FoxFi, either. If I install Relay_tetheringfix_MA2.zip over the CM10.1 rom, my device never boots: it hangs forever at the CyanogenMod boot animation. The WiFi-not-working symptom in CM10.1 is this: when turning on WiFi tethering, the access point comes up and it shows up in the connecting machine's WiFi access point list. However, when selecting this tethered access point, I get a "Connecting..." message for maybe 10-15 seconds, but then the connection drops and the connection process repeats in a seemingly infinite loop. This takes place even though I've double- and triple-checked that the password is correct. Perhaps a proper IP address is not being generated, or something ... I don't understand the internal mechanics of WiFi enough to know for sure. Has anyone gotten WiFi tethering to work under this CM10.1 rom?

3. I notice that in CM10.1, many apps are now listing their default storage location to be /storage/emulated/0. I assume that this is the same as /mnt/sdcard. Is there any way to tell my system to set the default storage location to /mnt/extSdCard (presumably /storage/sdcard1 or something similar)?

Thanks in advance for any insights you might be able to offer concerning these questions/issues.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] gee one:
Regarding #2, the tethering fix is for the stock rom and replaces framework-res.apk. It will not work with cm10 or 9 because they use a different framework.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nocturin:
Sigh... only 22hrs before 8%. Oh battery life, whatever happened too you? The yellow dip was the phone laying on the table in my living room not being used.

Anyone know of an application I'd be able to use to monitor which one's are requesting data access?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] HippoMan:
Thank you.

So ... has anyone managed to get WiFi tethering working with this 10.1 rom? As I mentioned, it fails consistently with PdaNet+FoxFi as well as with the default WiFi tethering utility.

Replaced my G2 Custom

So, decided to spend some money to replace my G2, and it's not that I regret it, cause I don't... but I'm missing a lot of simple things... :(

An alarm clock that allows you to set more than 10 alarms, and that doesn't stop running after a minute (still fussing with the settings).

Haptic Feedback, as I can't find any place to turn it on

Standard Support or even USE of custom vibrate patterns

etc...

I'd love to see an actual dedicated XDA section to this phone, though I don't plan on rooting any time soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] orange808:
Well, the settings in the framework_res are good. If cell standby is eating juice, I am guessing it's a problem with the modem/driver.

Is CM10 using code from the Galaxy S3 or is it ported from the Relay?
