[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] neveroddoreven:
Went to a T-Mobile mall store, they had five in stock for opening day, and I was the second buyer by 2pm. I agree with the slightly cheaper feel of the Galaxy S Relay 4G vs the G2, but the keyboard is a lot more spacious and I'm really digging the 5 rows and real 4-way arrow keys. And hardware-accessible curly braces!

With the stock out of the box device, I was not able to reproduce Cyvillian's simple "su" root from adb shell, but perhaps I need to first run a utility -- Cyvillian, can you volunteer how you got the su binary onto the device?

Nitpicks that I wouldn't return the device over:

1) A few apps have problems with widget size: Pure Messenger Widget, Weatherbug, Hanping Chinese Pro. They seem to get marked as being one row higher than they should, and the widget ends up floating in the middle of a larger-than-needed space with no vertical resizing ability. For example, a 1x1 widget ends up taking 1x2 space, as does a 4x2 widget takes up 4x3 space.

2) The power key is hard to access when the slider is open, and it barely protrudes enough to locate and press it by touch. It might be tough for a gloved hand to wake it back up without closing the slider (yes I have a pair with conductive glovetips).

3) There are some special text entry functions for the control keys (tested in GMail client), but it doesn't all make sense. Shift+left/right does texting highlighting a character at a time. Alt+left/right == home/end. Alt+up/down == pgup/pgdn. Shift+del == delete (not backspace). Alt+del and Shift+alt+del both erase the entire current line of text. That's all great stuff, and then you get to these weird behaviors. Shift+alt+up/dn both do the same thing, which is to select all text to the left of the cursor, and all previous lines to the top of the text box. Shift+alt+right will select all text on the current line only. But shift+alt+left will erase your entire current line of text, and replace it with a semicolon! Shift+enter == enter, alt+enter does nothing, and shift+alt+enter highlights everything from the cursor to the end of the current line.

4) The voice recognition keyboard button is poorly placed right next to the Enter key.

5) I agree with previous posters that the screen washes out about the same as the G2 in bright daylight, and that the slide action has to be applied in a perfectly horizontal motion to get a smooth open. G2 owners will need a little retraining, but keep in mind that the G2 is just as picky about how it gets opened...

XDA admins, when will this new phone get its own forum? Perhaps move this thread there?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Joe_PDA:
How about spending a nickel on a sticker?

While its great that its been confirmed by Samsung/T-Mobile/Qualcomm, that the Relay has an S4 processor.

It would have been worth the $.05 in printing and labor to put a sticker on the brand new box covering S3 to correctly read S4.

They put a giant sticker on the box that says "$50.00 restocking fee". Why not fix one of the key features printed incorrectly?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] RodimusConvoy:
Since the S4 is a quad core...this phone is a quad core, right?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Braccoz:
no.

S4 comes in dual and quad core flavours.

this is dual.

also, there are no quad core qwerty sliders.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] RodimusConvoy:
Drat. Well thanks for the answer. :good:

Trying to decide to get this or the S4 with a bluetooth keyboard. Though the Relay 4G not having a mass storage option bothers me. Though I suppose you can take the SD card out and put it in the computer to add media that way.
[Galaxy S II General] Riki1kenobi:
Hi all, picked up a GS2 the other day which had the USB charging issue. i.e. Plug charger in and it either wont show up or gives false data and unplug it still shows charging. Also, the battery temp sign showing and battery pull leaves a fully charged battery dead!

Looked around on here and on the net for various causes and possible fixes. These ranged from changing ROM, replacing the USB charging port, calibrating the battery, any number of different things etc etc.

So in theory, it is either a software issue and/or a hardware issue! But to me that made NO SENSE. It couldn't be both, well maybe for a small % of people it could be but for the majority, it had to be something else.

Well, as it would seem from my findings, in my case, it was something else. It would appear that the MODEM/RIL combo is causing the issue.

I tested this on my non-functioning device by flashing a new MODEM/RIL combination and then re-flashing the old one just to check. The old one has the issue, the new combo it is gone!

So IF you have this issue, try flashing a new MODEM/RIL combo and see IF it fixes the problem BEFORE spending any money on repairs.

As IF by some wacky coincidence forum member hawkerpaul has created a thread just today with CWM flashable MODEM/RIL's combo's, find them herehere

Hope this solves the issue for you as well

[Acer Iconia A500] Quantium:
I know I'm being a little bit specific for these two games, but the whole choice between buying my A500 (which rocks just fine btw), or an Ipad, was the ability to play these games, as up until now, they were only on the Itunes market, as well as google play, but in japanese version. They were finally brough to the US google play a short time ago, and they're STILL not compatible with my Iconia. I don't get it, especially with a Tegra 2, why shouldn't these games be playable? Does anyone happen to know what would cause certain games not to be playable, because they are other korean HD games that I would like to play as well, but they always crash when loading. Is there a way around this issue? Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
This is going to depend on if you are rooted? If you are, you can do this,

a. Open your "build.prop" file in /system and modify the line "ro.product.model=" to a different model, like instead of Acer-A500, change it to A500

b. Save and re-boot

c. Go to settings/apps and clear the cache on your Play store app.

Go to play store app and see if you can download it again.

or

You can download the Game.apk to a device that is compatible, and copy the apk to your device and install it through a file manager.

Note: in Settings/Apps or Settings/Security, you have to select "unknown sources". This allows you to install apps not downloaded via Play Store.

or

You can try this app as your country may be restricted from certain Play Store apps;

http://www.androidet.net/2012/04/re...trictions-with-google-play-store-app-v3-5-16/

I've checked the games you mentioned. Due to the fact I have installed several different Roms on my 501, most of them are "compatible", although it seems the original Stock systems were not.

But there is no promise these games will run correctly using the above methods.

[Acer Iconia A500] Quantium:
Moscow, you are the MAN! I FINALLY got both of them to work correctly. Had to root my tablet, install root manager, lucky patcher, etc. but in the end, everything works fine. I did end up having to install them both from a secondary file download, not through Google Play, but so what? Thanks for all your helpful information!:D
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
No Problem Mate ;)

Remember, I flash a lot of experimental roms, so according to Google Play, I have about 10 different devices. And the only 2 that said was not compatible, was Asus Transformer and my Stock A501. All the other 501's were ok. Probably I had 10 different buildprops :laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MetalG:
Hello,

I bought an XPERIA U for my gf, she likes the phone, but as many girls she dislikes the theme/colors of the icons/apps.

The SMS icon is "ok" but when you go in its very sober and dark, and she wants something bright like in iOS, so I browsed the appstore and found SMS GO PRO, which is doing well.. But this app sends spam text messages now and then. So i'd like to find a way to have this standard text messaging app to do bright, by applying another theme?

or do I need to put a custom rom on it? for it to be bright?

If no custom rom is needed, which theme do I need to install (i'm very noob on this for the moment). I get my nexus 7 24th of september than I can play a bit more with android ^^

Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nathan96:

I wouldnt suggest you playing with ROM's just for a "brighter theme"...

Root phone and get themes from /system/vendor folder... Decompile one of them and replace pictures... Compile and copy to /system/vendor... Think this is enought for you. :) (maybe you will only need open apk with winrar or 7zip and replace pictures in res folder of theme)

BTW. Icons will be the same as in original theme.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] 19JaKeB91:
I wasn't able to post this anywhere else.​

So this is a guide to rooting the HTC Flyer on HBoot 1.11.0011

This is pretty much things I done from several guides to get CWM to work properly and to get Super User installed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INSTALL THESE FILES

Fastboot Drivers

Super User Files

Android SDK

TO ENTER BOOTLOADER HOLD

VOLUME DOWN THEN PRESS THE POWER BUTTON!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STEP ONE​

The first thing you need to do is head over to the HTC Unlock Site

Once there signup and then follow the instructions to unlocking

I'm not sure how to tell if your model is WWE or TUR but I used WWE

It will guide you through the steps to unlock the bootloader once done proceed below

STEP TWO​

Make sure to disable fastboot and activate USB Debugging just like you did on the HTC Unlock website

When you unlocked it through the website it reset these settings so you MUST change them back.

Make sure that the CWM image you download at the start of the thread below is placed in the C:\android\ folder you made

when unlocking the bootloader, do not delete this folder in case you need it in the future.

Now follow this guide and be sure to download the HoneyComb file: THREAD IS HERE

You can skip the first step there "adb reboot bootloader"

STEP THREE​

Connect your HTC Flyer to your computer and move the SU.zip file across to the root of your SD (doesn't matter where just easier to access)

Now you need to start up the bootloader again, this time you will navigate to "Recovery" and press the power button to accept.

Using CWM choose "install .zip from sdcard" and navigate to your SU.zip file then install it

STEP FOUR​

Now if you followed this properly you should just need to reboot your device and you will be rooted.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

​

If you find this hard to follow please say and I'll clean it up a bit.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Just follow this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1194709

Basically, you need to achieve S-Off using a tool called Revolutionary. Once you have S-off, you can just install a custom recovery (Clockworkmod) and flash SuperUser from CWM to get root. It seems like a lot of steps, but they are all easy to do, and Revolutionary does most of the work for you.

I think the only thing you really need to know that isn't spelled out in that guide, is to verify the hboot is one of the ones listed.

To find your hboot version, power off the Flyer. Once powered off, hold down the volume down rocker. Press power button for a few seconds, release power, but don't release the volume down rocker until the hboot screen comes up (which screen with a bunch of text at the top). This screen will tell you your hboot version.

Before you do this, make sure "fast boot" is not checked in Settings>Power.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] 19JaKeB91:
Followed the guide easily but seems I can't root at the moment, running HBoot 1.11.0011
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
I'm not sure what the deal is with hboots that are not listed as compatible. Since mine was one of the listed hboots, I didn't bother to follow that issue. I know there are other folks that have incompatible hboot versons that asked how to get S-Off. You might read through the thread, and see if there is some workaround or solution for you.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] quails:
Isn't that thread for GB only, how about Honeycomb, I'd also like to root mine but the instructions all seem to run to many contradicting pages and not be written for what I want to do, which is strange as its the first step that everyone must do.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] 19JaKeB91:
Well I tried to search and didn't find much, I heard about downgrading but it seems like a long process. I used the HTC Unlock site to unlock the bootloader in hope that it makes it easier to root. So I'll search a bit. Thanks for the help.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] quails:
Please make a few notes - there are others for sure who would value it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] 19JaKeB91:
Notes about what? The HTC Unlock site is pretty self explanatory if you just Google it. Other than that I haven't found squat, too many pages telling me to do different things.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
The S-Off method only works for GB, so you need to downgrade if you are on HC.

---------- Post added at 10:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 AM ----------

If you unlocked the bootloader, you should now be able to install CWM over fastboot, than in CWM flash SU to get root, all as described in the S-Off thread.

That's probably a really easy way, if you just want root, and the S-Off method doesn't work for your hboot version!. Forgot all about unlocking the bootloader. Official bootloader unlock came so much later than S-Off (and I never had to do the BL unlock) so I often forget about that.

The only thing with the bootloader unlock, I think you cannot flash kernels or radios through recovery. If you want to flash ROMs, you have to pull the boot.img (kernel) from the zip, and flash it manually through adb.

Also of course, your warranty (if you had one) may be voided by unlocking the bootloader the "official" way.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] 19JaKeB91:
I already unlocked it and voided the warranty anyway so I went ahead and read that guide again, flashed over CWM and downloaded the SU file just having a slight problem now. When I start up holding Volume Down and then choose recovery it's either taking a very long time or it's stuck on the HTC logo. I can get out of it by holding down the Power Button though...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Hmmm. Maybe try to download CWM and push it again. Hopefully just a corrupt download, or a bad flash that will be easily fixed this way.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] 19JaKeB91:
Not sure if it's going to budge, as far as I know CWM is custom to each device from what I'm reading and I just can't find one that is for HTC Flyer the only one floating around is the one used in the guides.

I just flashed a Wildfire CWM over and I just noticed something, when the HTC Bootloader does a check (Orange writing flashes real quick) it says there are a few files missing I can't make out the full name but the first is something like " PG41DIAG.zip" this might be the problem.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
I meant to say "try to re-download CWM". Downloads get corrupted sometimes. Or do a checksum to make sure the file is ok.

You can try this one too: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1775840

---------- Post added at 01:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ----------

Not completely sure about this, but I don't think the CWM team (Koush, etc.) officially supported the Flyer, and it was ported by the Revolutionary team. In any case, I think they did a good job, as I don't remember anyone having any significant issues with the Revolutionary version of CWM.

Also, don't flash versions of CWM meant for other devices. It won't work, and it might brick the device. For instance, I've seen people brick due to flashing the wrong recovery, since the partitioning was different, and hboot got over-written.

Notes on how to actually go from a standard Honeycomb Flyer to a Flyer running stock Honeycomb but with root access !
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Its already being discussed in this thread. What more do you want?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] quails:
Just a few consolidated notes on how its done, when the OP has achieved root, there is lots of information on the forum but spread accross a great many threads, it would be of great benefit to noob's who just want to root so they can install specifc apps if we can end up with a step by step sequence that can be made sticky.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Unfortunately, unless someone takes up the cause, and dedicates the time and effort to post such a guide, getting things done often falls on the individual user to read the various threads, distill the information on their own. And of course, you can always come on here and ask, if you have specific questions.

Also, its unfortunately late enough in this device's life cycle that its unlikely that someone is going to see enough need for such a guide, to take the time to write one. Nobody even bothered to write a bootloader unlock to root guide, in the days when the Flyer forum was much more active.

If its full S-Off you want I would recommend globatron's guide, which has already been discussed and linked on this thread. Its pretty step-by-step. And whatever isn't clearly spelled out, is easily answered by doing an XDA search, or Google. Or you can come back on here and ask, if you are really stuck.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] 19JaKeB91:
Don't worry, if I find out how to do this I'll post it in the very first post of this thread so you can do the same. At the moment though the only thing stopping me is CWM not working and being stuck at the HTC screen.

I tried to re-download and flash but no luck, I've tried a few different CWM versions from old to new but I always freeze at the HTC logo after selecting recovery in the bootloader. It's the only thing that's stopping me so far, so I have no idea.

EDIT

Managed to root, took some time I tried doing a friends HTC Flyer though and he gets a (bad) sign on CWM from the su.zip so I'll figure that out for the main page. A guide on what to do is in the first post.

Did it work?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] quails:
YES THANKS !​

It worked fine, a couple of things I was unsure of in the process :

Flyer version to select on HTC unlock site - for my UK wifi Flyer I chose WWE wi-fi

When installing Android platform during HTC unlock, I chose 3.2 (the default is ICS v4)

To activate USB debugging, Settings->Applications->Development

You suggest to skip adb reboot bootloader, I'm not sure why, I needed to do it.

There's a shed load of downloads and faff to do for what seems like a little thing ! But to all reading this, it is straightforward and you're left with a rooted Flyer still running Honeycomb 3.2.1 with HTC Sense, but all of your apps will have been wiped.

Now to make use of this root capability ! For me that means :

- Being able to use the whole screen during movies

- Being able to switch network settings with an app rather than manually (I normally use Open DNS to protect the family from "nasty stuff")

- Disabling most of those ads that popup in free apps

Right now I'm not interested in ICS and JB until its ready for more mainstream use (hopefully some of the devs will get there, no thanks to HTC !).

I just want to install LeeDroid Rom for phone functionality and have root
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chief71:
Thanks

I had already unlocked my bootloader from the HTC site and had done the OTA update to Honeycomb 3.2.

No need to downgrade even though I was S-ON with this process. I am still S-ON but I have root.

One thing for Noobs that you might mention is the you need to enter "CD" for change directory and C:\Android or wherever you place your recovery.img on your computer.

For example, "CD C:\Android"

Then follow the terminal commands in step 2

I mainly rooted my Flyer using this process to get the Screencast App that allows me to record anything I do my Flyer's screen. As a classroom teacher, this makes my Flyer very useful. I can solve math problems on my Flyer using the pen, record my problem solving, and upload each video to my classroom website.
