I don't follow your reasoning... its open source. How can that be not fixable?

I think that most should agree that this is a fairly minor glitch that can be worked around. Either in the ways you've suggested, or just by not sending multi-part messages (make sure to manually break the message before it exceeds 160 chars).

The bigger problem is that AOSP4.0 has a defect that prevents MMS from working at all if the carrier uses separate data and MMS APNs.

In any case, this is all nitpicky silly stuff that will either be fixed in the update to newer Android, or that can be addressed later.

Don't sweat the small stuff!!! You're doing an amazing job on this and EVERYONE appreciates all your work and where this has gone. It is infinitely better than the factory crap.

I have tried the CDMA split, and it still fails...

Hopefully CM10 gets here soon, but I guess, in the meantime, I will be using the stock messaging app...

Thank you for looking into it for me though!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] orange808:
I use a older version of GoSMS (the app just keeps getting more and more chunky)...

It fails to send when I attempt to send a long message as a pair of SMS. But, there is an MMS button you can click before you hit send. It's an extra step, but it works.

There's one third party option.

External SD card woes again :(.

THe lost.dir folder is growing again. Running photo-rec to get all my files back before I do a zero wipe and re-format on my 32gb external.

The weird part is it completely wipes the partition table. The files are still there, but only accesible through low-level recovery tools.

If I "Shutdown" or power-off the phone with the power button hold, I have no problems. However if I reboot, of any type, this happens. I suspect it's because of the mount/unmount, but it's an irratation.

If others can reproduce it, it might be a bug :(.

Before I thought it was just my PS1 emulator doing this, but I haven't played with it yet on CM9.... so... grrrrr.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Authorita:
I believe that the lost.dir is the target for files found in filesystem checks, result of the filesystem being uncleanly unmounted at some point during a file transfer.

Wipes the partition table? That should NEVER happen, the partition table is written once, before the partition is formatted to the particular filesystem you're using. Is there a filesystem on the card at all? I.e., can you go and copy files into it if you tried?

WHAT filesystem is it using? Is it fat32? Or is it that new exfat junk?

Hmm, are you rebooting with power --> reboot? Or reboot from terminal? If the latter, try instead "sync; reboot".

It sounds to me like something is writing to your filesystem still, and it doesn't sync before it reboots. This will cause a filesystem corruption, add things to the "lost.dir" directory, and could potentially trigger a filesystem format if its completely effed.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] shawndaivari:
Mobile hotspot fail

Can anyone get mobile hotspot to work? I havent been able to either thru native CM9 or thru foxfi app which use to work on Relay before cm9. On Fox fi it counts down turning on mobile hot spot then resets at 1.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nocturin:
I think I used the patition table term incorrectly. Entire folders dissapear, though.

Darnit... I replied to this but I think I might of cussed so it's gone.

Did a multi-pass zero wipe and re-formatted through linux.

It was fat32

what does the sync; reboot do? power>reboot rather than power>shutdown caused the problem and additions to the lost.dir folder, which i suspect come from the ext SD card, not the internal.

How do I fix the filesystem if it is indeed the issue?

Check your APN settings, maybe?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Authorita:
This is very important... entire folders? Or **EVERY** folder? If it just killed one or two folders, but left the majority of data intact, it suggests filesystem operations were interrupted. If it wiped EVERY folder, it suggests that the filesystem was formatted.

Multi-pass zero is pointless, for a number of reasons. One of which is... "why for"? But more interestingly, if you zero it out, you may not *actually* be zeroing it out, since the sdcard might just record sections as being zeroed. Flash memory doesn't work the same as magnetic.

The "sync" command causes all filesystem buffers to be written.. i.e. "synchronized" to the actual media. You see, what can happen is this; as changes are made to the disk, those changes are made first in memory, and QUEUED for actual write to the disk. This causes a fairly significant improvement in performance, but at the expense of risk of data loss if the power is cut before the buffer is actually written. In most cases, there shouldn't be active writes happening all the time, so it is more likely than not, already synchronized, when you power off or reboot.

HOWEVER, if in the event, you do a reboot WHILE there is unsynchronized data in the buffer, AND the system fails to synchronize the filesystem prior to the actual reboot, then you may have a problem. When you hit power --> reboot, it isn't supposed to go BLINK and be suddenly rebooted, it takes a few moments to do some housekeeping, and THEN reboot. It synchronizes, and unmounts the filesystem, then reboots. Running "sync; reboot" will force synchronize all filesystems and then actually reboot.

By the sounds of things, it isn't actually synchronizing for you. At least not THAT filesystem.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nocturin:
Just folders.

"Zero'd" because I didn't want to keep recovering the same files if this issue keeps happening (thousands of text files, several hundreds of others and it takes a goo 3 hours). The weird part is it's happened both on stock(with my rom folders...completely lost gamesaves with hours of play) and CM9 (just my frequently accessed video folder).... but I have no idea how to fix the filesystem.... can you point me to somewhere.... is it because I'm using Fat32? Do I need to change to another supported filesystem (exfat or whatever...)? I don't know of any other than Fat32 that's supported by both Windows(all my data is on NTFS on different HDDs on my primary computer) and Driod.

I used "DD" command to do the zero because I have a chromebook with ubuntu and an SD card slot :P. Don't think it worked like I wanted it too so I'll have to run DBAN from my work computer.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Authorita:
The big problem that you are facing with respect to filesystem integrity is that MS does NOT play fairly with their competition. They leave out critical, yet FREE components that would dramatically improve compatibility and go a long way into reducing the hatred for all of their products, like including drivers for ext filesystems. FREE stuff that they can include without even asking permission, as long as they either don't change the code, or provide a copy of whatever minimal adjustments they need to make it compatible with their kernel.

FAT is a notoriously unreliable filesystem. Exfat is WORSE, and ntfs is only marginally less dangerous.

The big question is why yours is not cleanly unmounting. If it is doing that with stock, then I suspect that either it is a hardware defect (phone or sdcard), or it is something that you are causing, by, for example, allowing mswondoze access to the filesystem.

What I would like you to try, is formatting the disk again, but this time DO NOT let any mswondoze access the phone at all in any way.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] orange808:
Meh. I can snipe every OS on Earth. How about an OS that tracks users 24 hours a day and phones home constantly? 1984, Big Brother, and... Android? Bingo.

Open source? You really just sniped MS about not open sourcing drivers? Ported any roms recently? Can you say "proprietary blobs"? (Knew you could.) Android drivers aren't open source. Thanks Google. They could have forced manufacturers to keep it open, they

chose $ instead.

Anyhow, get a new SD card and make sure you use FAT32. Windows didn't break that SD card.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nocturin:
I will try only letting my ubuntu install access it, I don't have an SD card reader and I haven't tried to connect the phone to transfer media that way but I'll give it a shot and see what happens.

I was poking around my recovery from the other day and I was seeing things that were on the phone (like contact pictures) so now I have no idea what it might be.

I guess I'll have more infromation about what happen in a couple of days!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] shawndaivari:
They havent been touched since CM9 was installed. What would I be looking for? Does the hotspot feature (either native or thru foxfi) work for you? or have you had no luck either. If its only not working for me im guessing kernel issue?

Thanks

I just wanted to say thank you for everyone that has helped on this project. I was building cm10 and aokp jb for myself on my Pantech Burst and my friend who has a Relay 4g asked me if I had heard any roms available for him to use. I was able to add your repos and when my burst roms are done compiling I'll try to see if I can compile and upload the relay ones as well

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] :
I am releasing a new build. This is my personal build. You won't find the source for it on our Github or on our official repository. Teferi made me say that.

Features in this new build:

Real time clock is enabled.

Wifi driver replaced with completely open source code. It still doesn't tether but this is a huge step forward, we had to borrow the work of the fine folks on the HTC Ville (aka One S) to get this to work. It involves disabling some security mechanisms on the Riva board to allow us to load non Samsung-approved code.

Magnetic compass alignment from stock ROM.

Camera app shows the picture correctly and takes a single picture but after that it hangs and you need to reboot afterward. Third party apps still work with the exception of video recording on the FFC.

Changes to physical keyboard. Email key works properly, SMS key mapped to contacts, and voice search is mapped to search. Long-press search on the slide-out keyboard does not work like long-press search on a soft-key. It's actually a shortcut key. For example, Search+M brings up maps if you have maps installed. You can alter the mappings of the shortcuts with a hidden menu in settings. You'll have to use Nova Launcher or a shortcut app to bring it up (I haven't tested https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut&hl=en or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidappheads.shorty&hl=en but they should work) When you create the shortcut, select Actitivies, and then Settings, and then look for Quick Launch. This is actually a bug in Android, the menu shouldn't actually be hidden.

Alt-Z, X, and C mapped to miscellaneous symbols.

NFC firmware fix integrated.

Note these are MY CHANGES and may disappear from future builds.

I am contemplating mapping Search to right alt for convenience, and if I did that I'd map the SMS key to Search.

Also, if you haven't yet backed up your IMEI, you are highly encouraged to do so. You can type "reboot nvbackup" from a root shell to back it up, and "reboot nvrestore" to restore it. We had another member of our team lose his IMEI from a bad flash (should never happen with the publicly released builds though)

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] onebornoflight:
Ok so I flashed Nardholio's 1/14 build and have a status update - android recognized the presence of an external SD card with only rom plus Gapps flashed but still wouldn't recognize any of the files contained therein - tested with 2 different Sandisk SD cards that work both on stock and in my G1. Android WILL unmount them, and tell me how much space is free on both when mounted, but Apollo, Gallery, Titanium Backup and ES file explorer won't recognize the files or let me navigate to the external SD card. Is it possible that there's a file on both sd cards that causes the stock label of /mnt/ext-sd to stick and the phone not to recognize the card in the path Cyanogen wants it to be in or something? Both were formatted in my Doubleshot by android, and I reformatted the smaller one in the Relay on stock and then tried it on CM to no avail, after copying a few music files and photos to it for testing. I'm really getting irritated at this lol. I want the CM sauce!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] orange808:
.

Try using ClockWorkMod to format your card in recovery. My new 64 gig card had problems when I formatted it in Linux, but formatting it on the device (in recovery) put things right. So far, I haven't had any more problems.

Try using CWM.

...and your card will mount at /mnt/external_sd
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] onebornoflight:
Been trying to avoid a complete format... 19 GB of data included 7.6 GB in my Hideitpro vault that Windows won't even detect... this makes me sad. That'll take a LOOOOOOOONG time to unhide and copy over to my PC before I format it. Ok, thanks for the tips:)

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] b3orion:
Why?

So, I was looking in the forums, and I saw that the Galaxy S Blaze 4G has its own forum. It also has tons of development!

Blaze Link

Isn't it the exact same phone as the Relay, but without the keyboard? Is there any way to get help from those devs for the Relay? I mean, they're already on Jellybean! That's not fair! :eek:

Does anyone know what would happen if one of the Blaze ROMs were to be flashed onto the Relay?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] onebornoflight:
Short answer - You might end up with a brick. Probably would I'd wager, because despite the fact that the Relay was almost released as the Blaze Q, it has much more in common with the GS3 than the Blaze. Great Idea though, but from what I remember reading about the Blaze our hardware is a bit advanced from it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] CarpeNoctem:
It is nowadays very hard to brick a device !!

worst case scenario, boot in Download more and reflash the original rom with Odin and you'll be back to stock

Can this threat help fixing the keyboard: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2042888&highlight=keyboard
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] orange808:
Yep. You can just go in and manually edit the key mappings with Root Explorer, reboot, and enjoy.

For instance, I changed the email and sms keys to alt keys. I hate bumping a key and accidentally launching an app. I have shortcuts for email and contacts anyhow..

I recommend moving search to the right shift and moving right shift to the voice key. It gives your thumbs room to press search + L and search + P. It's valuable if you intend to use shortcuts for multitasking..

Anyhow, it's easy. Don't forget to make a backup of the original file and reboot.

/system/usr/keylayout/sec_keypad.kl
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] CarpeNoctem:
I'll try that tonight

Could you copy your file so we can also see the changes you did, thznks
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] orange808:
Sure. Here's my configuration:

http://www.mediafire.com/?tp3jc392w2q2jyg

The right shift key and the alt key are now search keys. This makes using quick launch keyboard shortcuts very easy because there are keys in both corners of the device to press--along with another key to launch an app. This eliminates the need to reach across the device when multitasking.

The voice key is now the right shift.

The sms/contacts and email buttons are now both alt keys.

It's not for everyone and most people will probably be confused with keys that perform strange actions (that conflict with their labels), but it works for me.

Also, the thread in my sig has some information from you dillalade, can you make sure I grabbed the correct things?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] CarpeNoctem:
I tried the keyboard file, unfortunately it does not solve the main issue for me which are the "shift" and the "alt" buttons that seem to lock after only one press instead of automatically switching back to their previous stage.

EDIT2: After installing TouchPal keyboard everything is in order, the last thing missing to make the rom perfect is the Wifi Tethering

Try Open Garden a very nice wifi tether app.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] :
The changes in this build have been accepted into our CM9 repo so you can consider this build to be as official as an unofficial build can be...officially :silly:

Also, something big's coming down the pipe. Don't want to get people's hopes up yet, but here are some hints:

The open-source wifi was crucial in our decision to work on it, because the previous wifi was tied to ICS.

The screen doesn't flicker.

The version number is greater than CM9.

Not going to say CM9 is dead for this phone but the team's working on something else at the moment ;)
