Guys the NFC fix is a firmware fix.

I have tested this with the teamapexQ on freenode.

I would paste the file and instructions here, but I don't wanna be stepping on the teams toes, as its not my work at all! ;)

I will try to prompt the team to post the relevant fix or ask if they'll allow me to do so on there behalf.

How is gps running for eveyone? The stock gps gets a fix quickly- several seconds, and usually shows 2 dozen satellites.

The cm9 gps takes significantly longer and only shows 5 or so satellites. I'm more concerned about how quickly the gps locks rather than the number of satellites.

Is this similar for anyone else or did I flash my phone one too many times?

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] :
We had some debate internally about releasing the firmware because it's actually from the SGS II and because the xml edit appeared to work for some people. However the steps you have to go through to make it work (including renaming libnfc files) is a bit much.

Here's the firmware fix, which will also delete your nfc preferences folder (if any). After flashing you will need multiple reboots before nfc is usable. Please be aware if your warranty wasn't void before it will be now :) Also be aware if you had a credit card or something saved to the secure element of your NFC this will wipe it out. I highly recommend disassociating it from the nfc element or spending the balance before flashing this. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/103520801/RelayCyanogenmodNFCfix.zip

On the bright side, once you get NFC working with CM9, you can download Simplytapp and start spending money at select merchants, including McDonald's. I love freaking out the cashier there by buying my food with my phone. It's even funnier to hand them money and reload the balance on my phone :)

I'm also including a link to the updated LJ1 baseband in case you came straight over from LH1 stock. There are no known improvements in performance with it (Samsung includes new radios with all releases, whether or not they improve anything) but I like having the latest stuff. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/103520801/RelayLJ1modem.zip

Stock camera cannot be ported since it requires Touchwiz to work. I am currently using HDR Camera+ to take pictures with CM9. It's a tad expensive at $3.99 but it is awesome and works. Besides Silent Camera, Zoom Camera is also free and works.

Video recorders found that work are Mycar Recorder and Qik Video.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phon00b:
HDR Camera + is on sale for 1.99, so now's the time to get it if anyone's interested.

Wanted to share my first full day with you guys

This is my normal usage with the same methods I'd use on stock to get a longer battery (This long is a first!) charge.

CPU was downclocked to 1134, screen is @ 0% unless it's needed.

Still @ 38% right now. Wanna catch a screen shot a <10% if possible before I resume my normal charging routine. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] RazoE:
That looks good. Here's what I can get with the stock battery. (and stock debloated rom)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nocturin:
Hah. I'd be lucky to hit a full day on stock :D
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Kaczman:
Things ive noticed:

Battery actually seems worse for me. Ill try flashing the NFC fix, but I dont ever use NFC or have tried to activate it so Im not sure how thats effecting battery life. I also dont see any NFC usage in the battery tab.

Keyboard lights need some love, as mentioned.

The camera work around seems fine, although the stock camera would be awesome.

No bluetooth is a killer for me. I have bluetooth in all of my vehicles and am starting to miss it.

Otherwise rom seems solid. Keep up the good work guys.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] :
Samsung Touchwiz camera will never be on CM9 because of it's closed source nature and multiple dependencies, ie you can decompile it and reprogram it all day long and it'll still be missing Samsung stuff. AOSP/CM9 camera is being worked on.

I notice some people are reporting sd card or bluetooth issues. Please visit our channel at #apexqtmo on freenode for support with these issues so we can try to figure out what's causing them, because they should be working.

Also make sure you are on the 12/8 build, not the alpha.

Does anyone else have an issue with gmail app not pushing emails thru. Is this an app issue or rom issue? When i hit the refresh button it will bring new emails thru, but they don't seem to push thru automatically.

This is on the latest Gmail app. Havent tried an older version.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] :
Under Settings, click Accounts and Sync, and then tap your Google account and make sure it is enabled to sync. If this doesn't solve your problem, uninstall Gmail and then reinstall it, run it, answer yes to any prompts asking if you want to allow it to access your Google account, and then check your sync settings again.

I've been a long time follower of this thread and flashed CM9 into my phone. I would like to point out that for those who wants a decent camera on their phone, Camera Zoom FX works wonders! It's the only app I've come across that can alleviate my lack of a stock camera as you can switch from photo to video and capture stuff with no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nocturin:
This is a really stupid and I'm sure very rehashed question....

but how to I back up my settings/apps so they transfer between builds?

I'm on 12/8 now, so I just use titanium backup when another is released and a new one to flash?

I'm so noobish that it hurts!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] :
Shouldn't have to wipe in between CM9 builds.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] :
NOTE: I highly recommend backup up your IMEI before you flash anything, here is a guide. It can be done without root on stock ROM. Doing it from CM9 requires command line use.

When I first flashed it, it seemed like it wasn't taking pushes when the screen was off and then a notification would appear as soon as I turned the screen on, but it is not doing that anymore. I email myself and it notifies pretty quickly, screen on and off, network and wifi connections.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phon00b:
its on sale for $1.49 so I tried it, but had to get a refund because when I tried switching to video I got an error message saying it was available for my device.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] caitsith810:
That's odd, I'm currently using it and I have had no problems with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phon00b:
Okay, tried it again and got it working. Per nardholio's suggestion, I had frozen the CM9 camera app. So I repurchased the app, then unfroze the camera app and used titanium to "clear cache" and "wipe data". It works fine now. The only quirkiness I'm getting is that it will freeze if I zoom in in video mode. Not a real problem though as zooming in severely affects the quality and I don't take many pics or vids anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] shawndaivari:
A wipe seemed to fix push issue. Thanks for suggestion.

Bluetooth issues.

I was wondering if anyone had noticed a change in bluetooth since moving to cyanogen.

Mine is now having the same issues as CM9 on my G2. It doesn't consistently connect to my cars radio. Issues with connecting the media portion. Metadata is slow to update on track changes, etc and doesn't work at all sometimes.

I only fixed this issue on my G2 by moving to Jellybean. I wonder if this is an inherent issue in CM9.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] shawndaivari:
CM9 built in hotspot issue

Has anyone had any luck with the CM9 builit in wifi AP? I couldn't get any of the "with root" hotspots to work on stock, even after flashing the LH fix. Same issue in CM9. Foxfi "without root" hotspot seems to be the only AP that works for my phone. Any ideas suggestions?

Thanks

I can say that bt was a little more secure on stock.

I have the odd failure of sound in my car when making/taking calls on cm9.

95% of time it works.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Kaczman:
i also have completely lost my SD card from showing on the phone and when I plug it into my computer from home or work.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] dillalade:
Try each of these, there's no reason for sd card to fail, many users are using this rom and this has not been rasied as an issue:

1. Try another sd to determine is it the sd or the rom.

2. Reformat sd card.

3. Reflash rom post full wipe.

Just got my Device for XMas, thought I was getting an NS4..

Turns out, I love the Phone & I gave my Wife the SGSII I had..

I will admit, I thought the phone would be a crap device..

Coming for the SGSII I have a theory as to why camera don't work, but I'll know more once I build kernel source.

Thanks for all the hard work Put into this rom.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] orange808:
Thanks for the NFC fix. That knocked down the first deal breaker; the first time I installed the rom, NFC tore through the battery power in a hurry.

With that said, the phone is (still) using too much power for the cell connection. Anybody else seeing the antenna drain juice? Cell standby when the phone is sleeping is still too expensive.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Kaczman:
looks like development has stalled on this rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] eugene373:
I wouldn't say that, TeamApexQ is working very hard & communicating with each other via irc. Some things do take time to make a perfect rom or find bugs, also keep in mind there isn't many people on the ApexQ Team like there is for other devices.

Issues? I found some? I think...

Hello all you devs and cool people out there...

I am currently enjoying my new Relay, and am very happy that CM9 is on here now. I cannot stand the touchwiz UI...

I have noticed a few issues that I wanted to point out and see if anyone is having the same things happen to them, and someone smarter may have some input!

1. When listening to Pandora or Google Play Music, when I get a notification for a text or email, the music will mute or sometimes even pause when the notification completes. This makes me have to unlock my phone and press play again, or turn the volume up and then back down to the original level again.

2. I use ChompSMS. I like it better than any other of the messaging apps out there. But when I try to send a message longer than 1 SMS in length, it will fail and only send the first of the however many SMS messages there was in total. I don't think it an app issue, because it is working fine on my old G2 and as far as I can remember, it worked on the stock ROM on the Relay.

3. Using Mashcord from the market(app store), I can get the video camera to work, although changing settings causes it to freeze. Just leave it be and it'll work. When I was done with it, the phone did freeze, giving a nice grey screen which caused me to pull the battery...

4. Notification LED sometimes doesn't work or sometimes it is super dim. Happened using Google Voice and ChompSMS. Missed call LED was nice and bright...

I haven't seen/had any other issues with the ROM, it is running quite smoothly, and with the NFC fix the battery lasts a decent amount of time.

Hopefully this helps with development, and if it doesn't, feel free to come up to Canada and hit me!

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nocturin:
1. I have had the same thing happen with google play, on stock too, but after the audio for the notification completed it resumed like normal for me.

2. This is probally an issue with that particular app, I don't have any problems sending multi-message long SMSs though the stock SMS app.

3. The camera and it's functions are still a WiP :).

4. You can set the notification light under LED to give you custom colors (the notifcation LED is a RGB version) and with a little fiddling around you'll be able to make it night and bright, although the colors look different when viewed at different angles. I use red and green for my notification colors and they are bright, not as bright as the stock teal blue but that works out better for me!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] b3orion:
I wonder if it is just the way the phone handles notifications... I just never noticed that issue with my old G2.

Hmm.. I can send fine with the stock app too... I will have to write to the app devs then!

I know.. I was just happy to see that the camcorder actually kinda works at all! The camera won't even open. :p

Are you talking within the app? I can find that option in ChompSMS, but changing any of the colors makes the dim green LED disappear completely. No color changes do anything, they don't even turn the light on. Am I missing some system wide LED changing setting somewhere?? Voice doesn't have that option either.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] RazoE:
I can't get the camera to work, no matter what. That is honestly the only thing holding me back from using this ROM as a daily driver.

Wow, I am blind. I must've looked in the display settings at least three times!

Now the light works! hooray! Thank You!! :D

Mmm, I like Chomp much better than stock. Lots more customization options...

Hmm, did you try a full wipe and reinstall? The stock app is the only one that doesn't work for me.

I kept the stock camera installed, and just downloaded some others from the market! Maybe you just have a bad install...

Lastly... I've read that this phone has 1GB or RAM, but when I go to settings, it only shows me 750MB. Is this a ROM issue, or does the phone only have 750MB?

Thank you! I never thought of a phone that way before... I guess it is just a little computer though! :p

On a previous page, someone said that WiFi hotspot in the settings wasn't working. I am now having the same problem; the option being stuck on "Turning WiFi On". It stays there until I reboot the phone. I am sure glad bluetooth and USB tethering work!! :good:

OK, I've been on the stock rom for a while and I think it's time to make the jump to cm9 full time.

I was playing around with the 12/08 rom and a homemade version of this rom.

Everything works as advertised on the 12/08 rom- 3rd party cameras, nfc, and overall awesomeness. GPS status shows 0/5 satellites, but gets a lock decently quickly. The display seems off, but the data seem correct. The stock app would should 12/24 satellites and lock very quickly.

If I build this rom from source, the camera doesn't work. However, if I disable the stock camera and push the following files, the 3rd party cameras are working again.

/system/lib/libcamera_client.so
/system/lib/libcameraservice.so
/system/lib/hw/camera.msm8960.so
/system/lib/hw/camera.goldfish.so

I'm not sure if this is a build issue, a extract-files.sh issue, or something else I did? although I have a hunch that the difference is in the libcamera*.so files, but my android-fu isn't stong enough. This will give me something to play around with...

Depsite my own issues, this rom is pretty amazing!!

Messaging Issues

Sooo,

I have tried every messaging app in the market (Handcent, ChompSMS, etc...)

And all of the apps will not send messages longer than 160 Characters. Only the stock app works.

I have been chatting with ChompSMS support and I am told that the phone is giving a "General Failure" when sending the second part of the message. Here is what the Chomp support team said:

Is the messaging app indeed sending the messages differently?

Was this ROM ported from the CDMA GS3? Could that be the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] :
The Cyanogenmod GS3 code on ICS is generic for both CDMA and GSM. I see in CM-10.1 they've broken it up a bit. We should be able to backport the SMS change and test to see if it works. Thanks for reporting it.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Authorita:
I saw that once on my wife's phone. It was caused by an uninstaller crash that left the program I was trying to install "uninstalled", but the APK still in place in /data/app/. After manually deleting the APK, it installed correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] :
Turns out Cyanogenmod, for reasons I am not able to fathom at present, has combined the properties of the GSM and CDMA SMS settings in ICS for the SGS3 (MSM8960-common to be exact). This is likely not fixable (by us). They appear to have fixed it in CM 10, but we're not there yet. The stock messaging app in Cyanogenmod on this phone is set to send all long messages as MMS. I checked the Handcent settings, and Handcent only sends long messages as MMS when they exceed *3* messages in length, and Chomp does not have a comparable setting. In the meantime I can offer the following workarounds:

1. Enable CDMA message splitting at 160 characters, which is a selectable option in both Handcent and Chomp.

2. Ensure you can properly send MMS messages, ie you have a data plan on your account, you have mobile data enabled, and you have an appropriate APN for sending MMS enabled. MMS does not work over wifi and mobile data must be used.

I'll continue looking into the causes of this but it appears to be hard-coded this way into Cyanogenmod for the MSM8960 board in the ICS tree.
