Sharper text, sharper images - definitely the right decision for *me*. Higher resolution can also mean *more* text visible, e.g. a full page.

Unfortunately all that doesn't work because of copy protection. That is most likely also the reason why there is no playback software for Android.

Could you add some info on your current knowledge base. Do you have previous experience on java and/or 3D programming?

[General Questions and Answers] Hicsy:
Lol I can't tell if you're trolling... but

start with 2 things:

* lightly hacking your android phone to get the hang of the little things like .apk's and the filesystem (it seems like you prolly already know this biz)

* and start playing with the Android SDK

You need the Android SDK before you can do pretty much anything... and try to stick to the Java language (otherwise you also need the NDK)

Eclipse sucks majorly as an IDE (you program with these), but at least google now has a premade sdk+eclipse kit that mostly works

you can start from scratch with programming courses but obviously as a network admin you will have a strong sense of programming without even realising it.

do some intro stuff like MyBringBack where they teach you XML and overlays etc and then go straight to advanced Java (hint: object-oriented) and then OpenGL (the 3D side of things).

edit: please hit thanks if this post was AT ALL helpful, as for some reason I can't really do anything useful in any other thread than here so it is very much appreciated

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] chuckiev79:
Can someone please instruct me how to get GPS up and running again? I am on latest nightly and have tried various past builds. I installed the new modern, I have cleared the cache several times, dalvik and otherwise. I have even factory resetted several times. I use GPS allot because I work for FedEx. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] kilr00y:
same here.

nardholio asked to pm him if one has this issue. i did some hours ago. when i have an reply i'll pm you. or publish it here (whatever is applicable).
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] chuckiev79:
Thanks man !!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nardholio:
I hope this will work for you. This worked for me. I don't pretend to understand all the details of what went wrong, but from what I understand there's a non-volatile (ie factory reset, reboot, etc won't fix it) privacy setting on the GPS which, when activated, basically breaks GPS. Samsung must have realized this was stupid too because the latest stock rom/modem doesn't mess with this setting anymore. Unfortunately, if it was set before you upgraded to the newest modem, that means your GPS is stuck in privacy, aka non-working mode (stupid because if you didn't want GPS you should just turn it off).

So what you need to do is backtrack to a combination of software that DOES mess with this setting. Once you are SURE GPS is working again, you can consider flashing the new stuff again (you may have to try more than once because there is absolutely no user control of the privacy setting, another stupidity in the system).

So

1. Flash either an older stock image (newer stock image contains the same privacy bug so you can't use that) or older cyanogenmod and modem. For stock, I recommend the original firmware released with the phone https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/103520801/T699UVALH1_T699TMBALH1_T699UVALH1_HOME.tar.rar

That is what fixed mine

You can try the following version of cyanogenmod + modem

http://goo.im/devs/nardholio/apexqtmo/cm-10.1-20130309-UNOFFICIAL-apexqtmo.zip

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/103520801/RelayLJ1modem.zip

2. Do a battery pull and wait a minute. Just to clear out anything that might be lingering.

3. Obtain a solid GPS fix. Install GPS Status and stand outside. If GPS doesn't come back at this point try the other route (cyanogenmod or stock)

4. Turn off GPS.

5. Battery pull, do not power off

6. Flash forward to cyanogenmod (build 111 or higher)/newer modem. You can try restoring your nandroid (at this point mine worked with a restored nandroid) but if GPS goes away again try with a fresh install.

7. If you obtained GPS on stock but cannot get GPS going in cyanogenmod try repeating again but replace step 4 with "do battery pull while you have a solid gps fix"
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] chuckiev79:
Thanks nardholio! It worked like a charm. Any chance we will ever see photosphere? If not it's no big deal. Just curious.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] dillalade:
Thanks for this tip Nard.

I did this.

1) Created a nandroid of my full wiped build 111 install/setup

2) full wipe install of 20130309 build

Got GPS to lock.

Turned GPS off.

Battery Pull.

3) Without wipe, nandroid restore of 111 build.

Reboot, GPS works.

Thanks again :thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] kilr00y:
took the files on the road with me and worked like a charm.. did:

-backup

-format data/system/cache

-install radio and cm provided by nardholio

-boot and installed a gps status.apk off the web since i was too lazy to setup my google account ^^

-INSTANT gps lock. kept it running a lil, then restarted the phone with gps still enabled.

-format data/system/cache

-restored backup

==> works like a charm

thx again :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] MTMTE:
Sweet that fixed it right up. I did these steps, in this order:

1. Nandroid backup from CWM

2. (From CWM) Factroy reset and cleared cache, then flashed this file(rom): http://goo.im/devs/nardholio/apexqtm...L-apexqtmo.zip followed immeditatly by this one (cell radio) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...ayLJ1modem.zip

3. Booted into cyanogenmod.

4. Downloaded and installed a recent googlemaps.apk

5. (Switched off wifi) Obtained a solid GPS fix

6. Turn off GPS.

7. Did a battery pull, did not power off just pulled the battery..waited 1 min and put the battery back in.

8. Booted into CWM recovery (by presssing Home, Volume Up and Power) and flashed the nightly build #137, immedetally flashed the MC5 Modem from this thread, and then after that finished immediately restored my nandroid backup.

GPS is working and my phone is still setup like it was an hour ago. PERFECT!

Thanks Nardholio :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] kilr00y:
though the reason was me misreading when i applied the fix, but i kept GPS ON. which actually - from a logic pov - is the thing that makes sense to me.

and it worked fine.

all you others switch it off once you've gotten a good gps fix.

and it works fine as well.

but it really raises the question what the real issue behind this problem is..
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nardholio:
No "real reason" mr conspiracy theorist. Cycling the setting after getting a GPS fix makes sure its set the right way when you upgrade to the newest rom. Otherwise you don't know what state the chip has been left in
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] kilr00y:
which makes it russian gps roulette :)

i guess, whatever works...
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] gee one:
When you guys are saying GPS is broken - do you mean it doesn't work at all, or just takes a while to get a fix? Mine is slow to lock and the compass is off kilter, but eventually it will lock.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] kilr00y:
nah, it never locked. he just kept on searching for satelites forever.

The first lock after i went back to the latest build took a little but after that fft was like 5 seconds. and still is.

Worked perfectly.

1. Backup CM11.

2. Wipe all partitions.

3. Flash CM10.1 and Modem.

4 Pull battery.

5 Boot CM and install Google Maps

6. Set GPS to device only and open G Maps

7. GPS WORKS!

8. Reboot to recovery (forgot to disable gps)

9. Wipe partitions and restore CM11 backup

10. GPS WORKS!

I am however on baseband T699UVLJ1 and I believe T699UVBMC5 is the latest one.

All seems to be working so I will leave it like this for a day and then update and test GPS again.

Flashed to the latest baseband again without any problems so far
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Bobby Tables:
After I managed to bollix up my GPS, I went through the steps with CM (the link to the stock rom is 404). I flashed the 10.1 gapps as well, and I used GPS Status instead of Maps, but I did manage to get GPS working again after restoring my backup. Thanks a bunch!

I must say, my Avant has a vastly better GPS than the Relay, but (for now) the Avant is completely stock/unrooted.

And why does it not work with a CM11 image?

I cannot find any CM10.1 image, links are dead! :/

Right, going back to CM10.2.1 and after that back to CM11 also worked.

Phone never booted in CM10.2.1 by the way... CM boot circle was going round and round for 15 minutes... Removed battery, tried to boot again, same thing. Went into recovery mode, luckily I still had a CM11 ROM zip on my phone. Installed it and works! Some Trebuchet error message popping up though and Google Play services crashing all the time.. Hmm we will see what can be done about that. Maybe because I used a July nightly.

This is now causing me problems because clockwork mod can't see the internal storage. I get the error message unable to mount. I know that the only way to remove encryption is to do a factory reset, but what I do need to know is do I need to put the original stock recovery instead of clockwork mod.

I think probably I can only install 3.17 RUU is because my last working ROM was CM10.1. After that I tried Sense ROMs but many failed hence I thought of doing Relock and RUU.

Is there any other thing I can do in my bootloader state? I tried Factory Reset.

Is it possible I attain S-OFF from here and flash recovery and flash OTA from there?

Or even better yet, can I try doing OTA from this state?

If you want to RUU, re-unlock your bootloader, flash recovery, flash stock rooted sense rom, hex edit your CID to 11111111 and S-OFF, then RUU. It's a lot safer now that you've unlocked your bootloader and rooted.

Hi guys, I got this phone yesterday and I'm freaking loving it. The first Android phone that I can actually compare to my iPhone 5. I was wondering is there any way to lower down the brightness when your taking a picture? For some odd reason every time I go into the camera app the brightness goes all the way up.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] theledman:
Pretty sure that's a built in "feature" that allows your viewfinder to be as accurate as possible under all lighting conditions.

If you really can't stand it, you can give Tasker a shot. I have Tasker do this for Gallery/other camera apps so that videos and pictures are more pleasing to view.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ZekkRagnos:
Can you elaborate more on the Tasker app? I've never used that.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] airicd22:
It's an app that lets you set certain conditions and when those conditions are met it will cause something else to happen that you have preset.

So I can set the brightness leven for when I open the camera app y doesn't go all the way up?
