[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] demkantor:
I don't have the relay but I follow it and have played with one. It feels similar in many ways to the MT4Gslide (I have this) but you can really feel the improvements in speed as well as a five row keyboard is just awesome. Being its part of the galaxy s line there should be a fair amount of updates, speculation of course as Samsung hasnt been the best at supporting hardware keyboard phones.

You will miss the camera, not that this one is horrible its just that the MT4Gslide has one of the best ever made. I'm not a huge sense fan but it is better than touchwiz (in my opinion) but more of a resource hog. It is possible to port it over to Sammy phones and has been done before, but I doubt anyone would bother on this phone.

Overall if its a free upgrade I would take it, being I refuse to buy phones from carriers this one would cost me full price and I haven't decided if that's worth it yet.

Good luck on your decision!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Braccoz:
i got both. here are the differences with the relay:

- relay's screen is super amoled pentile... colors are great, resolution sucks big time, pixels can be seen and the red ones are very tiny and the matrix will be very noticeable in some cases

- relay's camera is 5 mp vs 8 of the doubleshot. it is just inferior in both quality and resolution, not much else to say.

- relay keyboard is nicer imho but lacks replicated alt, shift, home, back, menu keys

- battery lasts much longer than the famous 1900mah anker for doubleshot

- the cpu is so much faster, ~2.5x from my findings, also, it heats a lot less

- it is noticeably ligher but more plasticy and flimsy

- stock ics and jb. more development going on

all in all, it is a sidegrade... you lose on some aspects and gain in some others... anyway the high end qwerty era is over since the desire-z/droid 2 period...
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] gtmaster303:
I've owned just about every GSM QWERTY device made for android over the past 2 years. I can safely say the Relay is one of the better phones that I've owned for a while.

The G2 was the best phone I've ever had.

The camera is not amazing. It will do in a pinch, but I would take a better keyboard over a better camera any day. The 4G Slide keyboard was horrid. One of the worst I've ever used. I use the keyboard much more than the camera, so my decision was simple. It's based on your preferences, really.

But just remember you don't have many options.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Jax184:
I've been using my relay for about 4 months now and overall I like it a lot.

Some good thoughts first:

The keys are very very good. I find they're slightly less conducive to touch typing than my Sidekick 4G was, but still one of the best small keyboards I've ever used. I can't imagine using a purely touchscreen phone, Swype or not. There's just no competition.

The phone is very quick. I've never once thought to myself "Man, I wish this would happen faster." The OS isn't quite 100% seamless, but it's close enough that I can't find anything to complain about. And things like videos, emulated games, etc are all full speed. The only times I've ever had to wait for something was when I was accessing files, and that's due to my bargain basement SD card.

The battery life has been great. I have no problem getting through my day without carrying a charger with me. Now, I'm not as active a user as some (I don't use facebook, for instance,) but I'm often looking things up on my phone while working, and even using the flashlight, and I always have between a half and a third of my battery when I get home.

The screen and the camera both fall under the category of "It's a phone for chrissakes, what are you expecting??" for me.

The screen is bright, vibrant, sharp. It looks great indoors and passable outside. There's enough room for what it needs to do. If you complain that you can't watch a 1080p movie on your phone, the problem is with your head and not your device. I guess if you offered me a higher resolution I'd take it, but I really don't feel like it needs more. And I wouldn't want the screen to be any bigger. If I wanted a massive screen in my pocket I'd buy an iPad. And then kill myself.

The camera is a dog, but so is every other phone camera in the world. Yes, this one is worse than many. But if you care about what your pictures look like, a $40 digital camera bought used off craigslist will take pictures which are 10 times better than the best cell phone camera on the market. And it's easier to carry a separate phone and camera than it is to have a separate phone and keyboard. So why everybody focuses on the sub-par camera is beyond me.

There's only one thing about the phone which I actually feel is bad, and that's the shape. Coming from a Sidekick 4G, the ergonomics of the phone are a big step down. The Sidekick was a fantastic phone to hold in the hands, both closed an open. The Relay is about as nice to hold as a brick. There's a small lip all around the phone that presses awkwardly against your ear, and it's got a certain awkwardness when open as well. No surprise there, the Galaxy S line has always looked like a knockoff of the iPhone 3G. Why would they start making something comfortable now? </curmudgeon.>

So, yeah. I like it and there's nothing else on the market which comes close to being as good as it. I'd buy one again. I'd suggest it to other people. But I'd also hope that this isn't the last QWERTY Android phone for my network, as there's still room for improvements.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] kilr00y:
i've came down the g1 (htc dream), g2 (htc desire z), relay lane.

i have my relay now for like 4 weeks. and there's really nothing i can seriously complain about. the cpu and gpu are fast and still come with some reserve. the memory is plenty. the qwerty is a big step up from the dz with the additional row. and battery life is just sweet :) the dz had the better display when you were outside. the relay's go the far better once you get out of the sunlight.

usually, when i got a new phone, i also got a better cam. but seriously: 5mp is enough for every day use. and as some already stated: it's a cell phone. if you want to have high-end-images, you don't get around buying a dedicated camera. and seriously.. it's the same with the screen resolution. 800x480 is enough for text, websites and pictures to be displayed properly and sharp on the small display. what's the use of a 4" full hd display? besides showing off? again... it's a cell phone. if you want high resolution, get a tablet.

*if* somebody asks me for a cell with a hardware keyboard there really - from my pov - is no reason not to recommend the relay.

and i think it's really a pitty it's not available here in europe and quite hard (and expensive) to get.

i really hope there will be new qwertys that will be available here as well. (the most recent here on sale is the dz).

admittedly the hardware keyboard phones are a niche, but those who want them will be willing to spend a lil more to get them.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] stingernwo:
I have also used many qwerty phones over the years and have been using the relay for about 5 months now. Previously I have used lg shine xenon, lg shine plus (last lg phone I will ever buy) Sony xperia pro, samsung captivate glide and now the relay. The xperia pro keyboard was the best I have ever used. Too bad it had such low on board memory and only a single core processor.

I hear you on the death of qwerties I can now type quite well with SwiftKey but still love a qwerty for messaging, emails etc. I get the same look from sales staff when I have asked about qwerty sliders.

The relay is the fastest qwerty I have used, bit more than the glides 2x core tegra 2, I also found the keys on the glide to be too flat and there were only 4 rows. Good tactile feedback on the relay, keys are spaced out well and travel is easy. However as mentioned the build quality is not the best and mine has a noticeable wobble when typing. Updates seem good so far although will probably not get past 4.2. I actually went out and bought a q10 last week, loved the new OS but the keyboard was simply too small for me, and for the build quality and screen size the q10 is waaaay over priced, so decided to return it.

On a side note I did a little bit of cosmetic altering the my galaxy s3 stock 2100mah batteries and got them to fit in the relay.. As I live in canada the relay isn't even sold here, and I place battery life pretty much at the top of my list. Need that spare battery and a charger. Anyways good luck with your relay if you get it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] gtmaster303:
I'm sure samsung will release a follow up to the Relay, as they seem to be the only manufacturer big enough to support this niche market.

Just give them some more time. They definitely need som enew phones and fresh designs to break up all the slab phones that are coming all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] devis:
Well, I got the Relay. And with it I end a 8 year HTC only stint which started with the Blue Angel. Fun times...

I just got it today so not much of a chance to play with it. At the moment doing the update. Afterwards will see what else I can do. I find it a bit useless at the moment to try any other ROMs. A bit too early...
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Xenobio:
I've had 3 previous Android sliders before getting this one - the original G1, Motorola Milestone (which I gave to my husband because it was too big and heavy for me) and the HTC Desire Z. Aside from the Desire Z's incredibly stupid flipping hinge mechanism which I'm convinced was responsible for the display cable dying, it is my favourite of the four (it developed this problem where the screen would die every time I opened the keyboard - I actually disassembled it to see if I could fix it but couldn't)

This phone's not bad and I don't mind it feeling "plasticky" since it's light, while the hinge mechanism seems a lot more solid than HTC's ridiculous designs for the G1 and Desire Z, but the keyboard is LOUD. You have to press the keys really hard and I'm convinced people can hear me typing, which is really not what you want for a mobile device. If you're tweeting under the table during a boring company meeting, you better be good at pretending you're taking minutes!

I also have this weird problem, specific to the Facebook Android app, where it will jump to the top of the page randomly while I'm in the middle of typing a comment. I thought I was pressing something by accident but I've tried typing really carefully and that seem to not be the issue.

I do really miss having a trackball or optical joystick from the HTC devices. It's fine to have arrow keys on the physical kb, but when you have the phone closed sometimes you still want to be able to navigate around and click.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] yohan4ws:
Really happy to have found this thread, has anybody looked at or tried the Motorola Droid 4 ??

It boasts 8MP camera and high definition display, looks like battery lasts a while.. says its splash proof and also has the 4 row keyboard.

I enjoy my glide, but they keyboard with the press on them hasn't ever given me much of an ability to type without looking at the keys..

On my blackberry after a while I was able to roll my fingers across without hardly looking at the keyboard, on computer i type 100wpm so pretty important for me to have a fast typing keyboard. even software app keyboards can't keep up and screw swipe.. without feeling where to rocker my fingers to form words im doomed to choose from autocorrect.

Someone mentioned about going to service menu and do a reset thing there.

or

try removing the lockscreen apk and then do a repair.

or

flash another ftf file

PS: if you bought your phone from not a carrier: when you rooted your phone it changes your bootloader status to "no" when it is supposed to be "yes"

I have a SGP 5.0 with CM9 ROM and Sultan kernel. It is a brand new device but I recently found out that the audio jack was faulty and so I am going to get it fixed with my warranty (or the Amazon seller said I could return it for a full refund). Either way I need to get rid of all the modifications I made. Could someone please explain to me how I can unroot my phone but also remove the custom kernel, CWM, and anything else I need to do to stop my warranty getting voided? I heard that you need to reset the flash/binary count. I've read a bit about this on the forum but am still not completely sure.

Thanks! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TheKryptonite:
-Download SuperOneClick, plug in your device, and click "Unroot." I think there's another way you can delete it, but I can't remember what exactly you have to do (I think you have to delete Superuser or something).

-Download the appropriate ROM (this is the stock ROM).

Ah thanks, didnt realise you could flash via odin!

Now I've finally got the stock rom back but I got stuck on bootloop when I tried using the stock kernel, so I can only use RJ's kernel right now :/

But now when I plug headphones in, the sound comes through the speaker. I have to use SoundAbout to get the sound to work in the headphones, and then I'm left with my faulty headphone jack where the sound only works when I twist the headphone wire in a certain way.

I thought the audio issue where you need to use SoundAbout was only for some custom ROMS, so why is that issue occuring when I'm using stock rom...Is it RJ's kernel which is causing the issue? I can't use the stock kernel since I get a bootloop :(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Hersh_K:
Okay, I went to a Samsung Repair Shop and they said that someone else also had an issue with their SGP and it took them more than 6 months to get it back and he didn't recommend me repairing it. So I've decided to return it instead and buy a new one to save the hassle.

So the only thing I need to do is put the stock kernel on the phone and it should be good to send back, but as I said it bootloops when I put stock kernel on, so does anybody how I could fix this problem?

I have to push and twist the headphone jack in a certain way for sound to be omitted. And I did flash the kernel first, but no luck I'm afraid...

The thing thats worrying me is that I have to use SoundAbout to get any audio to go through the headphones - this was a bug with one of the roms I flashed which is why I switched back to stock rom but I am still experiencing this bug...Weird.

[HTC Sensation] ridder215215:
A nightly build is quite literally a build that a developer uploads at the end of the day, usually each day/couple of days. Nightlies could still contain bugs, as they are not fully tested, but you can get updates more often. Choose for yourself which one is better.

You can get them at the Cyanogenmod website.
