Mate, first I really want to thank you for the time you are spending to help me with this, you are great :good:

Good to know that GPS trick!! :)

I already read the instructions and I think I understand them, but I have two last questions before trying to upgrade.

a) I already have TWRP/clockworkmod recoveries installed, flashing the cyanogenmod recovery can create any issue or will just replace them?

b) Do you recommend any app/procedure to create a safe full configuration backup (i mean contacts, sms, connection logs, app configs, wifi settings, whatsapp, gmail, etc)? I read for example this thread http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-data-moving-to-rom-t1502526 (that recommend rom manager, titanium and app extractor) but don't know if will work in the relay and switch from stock to CM11 (maybe rom manager doesn't work with cyanogenmod recovery).

Thanks once again!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
The Cyanogen recovery IS clockworkmod, probably just a newer release. So if you've flashed recovery before, you have something like Heimdall or Odin installed, and know how to use them. I would most likely flash the new recovery.

To be honest, I don't know about app backup. I have both Titanium and Helium installed, but have never actually used them. I did a nandroid backup to fix my GPS, but that's only applicable when you want to take EVERYTHING back, OS and apps. I really ought to back stuff up, sometime. I have dropbox syncing my photos, and my contacts and exercise are synced with google, so beyond that the most valuable thing I've got on the phone is my 63-character pseudorandom wifi password. (NOT fun to type in.)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] xdoza:
Thanks phred!!!! You are a hero :)

I install CM11 and almost everything was smooth following https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_apexqtmo and your suggestions. My phones is working pretty fast after so much time :)

Only had two small issues that solve easily.

1) After flashing recovery and booting it to flash the new rom, my phone was not detected by adb (it was detected in the flash recovery step). Seems it was some adb recovery driver missing, fix it installing drivers from here https://plus.google.com/u/0/103583939320326217147/posts/BQ5iYJEaaEH.

2) I had an external SD (with some apps writing to it) and seems since kitkat apps are not allowed by default to write into it. So I install SDFix (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix) and everything start to work.

GPS is working (made the gps lock as you said), in fact it seems to gain signal much faster than with the t-mobile stock rom. I also intall opengapps nano, and a backup/restore with Titanium that recover almost all my app/data (only a few issues, but sms, call logs, contacts, account, everything ok).

The only thing that seems to have same issue until now is the camera. It takes pictures but it seems to not get focus right. But I see that I don't have any configuration available in the camera app (in the stock rom the app had some tweaks for light, etc), maybe I'm missing something here.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
I've noticed recently that my focus isn't the best, but I'd never paid that much attention before, so didn't know if it had degraded, or never been that hot to begin with.

I'll need to do some searching around. Almost certainly nobody will fix a Relay problem, so hopefully if this is a new problem, it's shared with some phone that is under active maintenance. Then their fix will be our fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] xdoza:
Yes, I install the google camera and now is a bit better (but not like stock, I suppose some kind of driver issue?). And I found two more issues by now:

1) Low microphone level, for example when recording whatsapp messages, other people can't hear me. I have to speak very loud.

2) I see battery drains faster/much faster than before. My battery last more or less 12 hours now, when with the old stock I got sometimes more than 24 hours (I don't use the phone that much). Both cases with wifi on but data plan, gps and bluetooth off.

Besides that the phone is working really fast, although I'm a little worried about the battery issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
One thing I found a while back - found it after some searching: Boot the phone with the charger disconnected. The reference I found said that the processor can't get into the deepest sleep states if it was booted while connected to a charger, and empirically I'll have to agree with that. Also, tap your settings on the battery and it will give you information about how much time the phone spends in what states. That concurs with the advice I'd read. I'm pretty careful about keeping my radios off, turning them on only when I need/want them, and I usually get three or four days on a charge. I'm usually careful to keep wifi off also, unless I'm near an AP that I trust. I've read that wifi can leak information about previously-connected APs.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] xdoza:
Mmm, so that means restarting the phone after charged (full charged, power off the phone, disconnect charge, start the phone)?

I double check the battery setting and they are

-Screen more than 62% (brightness around 25% and the screen shuts after 30 seconds inactive)

-Inactive device 6%

-Inactive phone 6%

-SO Android 18%

-Other apps (gmail+whatsapp+firefox) 8%

Isn't screen rather high? Maybe it's related to this issue you mention? I never check this before but as I say I don't use the phone that much.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
Just grabbed my phone and checked:

79% - Not charging

1d 10h 36m 59s on battery

Screen - 45%

Phone idle - 36%

Fit - 5%

Android System - 5%

Android OS - 5%

Google Play services - 3%

Solitaire - 2%

You can also tap the graph on the battery status, and it will give you more detail, both on discharge rate and on states consuming the power.

The app I mentioned is "Wakelock Detector Free"

It says "Awake 4%", and then gives lots more statistics that the ones above. Oddly enough, in this display Solitaire doesn't even show, but quite a few other apps do. I seem to remember that when booting while on charger, that "Awake" time went way up.

EDIT - Once the phone is booted, you can connect and disconnect the power, and it doesn't start burning it faster. The problem is only if the phone is booted while power is connected. My phone may run for several weeks between times being turned off.

Also, it seems like the power consumption slowly creeps up over time, and even turning it off and booting on battery doesn't bring it back down. However flashing a new nightly does. Best battery life is right after flashing a new nightly. I wonder if wiping the cache from Recovery would do the same thing.

Plus, I need to try the Google camera app. First I should probably do some metrics, to get a before / after.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] xdoza:
Hi Phred, thanks for this, I didn't have time yet to try wakelock but I'll look at it this weekend.

Did you have good microphone level? Mine is really low, I look around but can't fix it. When recording whatsapp messages, other people can't hear me. I have to speak very loud. Strange that calls seems to get the right volume.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
Sorry, I've never used whatsapp. It would be worth checking the video camera, to see how the volume is there. Maybe I need to take a look at whatsapp, I've heard of it other places.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] xdoza:
Hehe yeah. But I have this problem with whatsapp or any recording program (but not with calls).

The ROM is working great, unfortunately this few problems (microphone, the camera focus and the battery one) is making me think to go back to stock. :(

I'll search a few more days for solutions to this problems, hope I can find a fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Suncatcher16:
What type of problems? Could you put more details?

In fact, it is stock too.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Suncatcher16:
Hotspot in this ROM doesn't work, I assume?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] xdoza:
Sorry mate i think it was my fault cause i start asking about this debloated stock, and then phred14 point me to CM11, so in fact the mic phone problem is in CM11, not in stock.

By the way, I already tried the debloated stock unfortunately had some weird issues with rotation, keyboard and tethering, so i'm back in CM11, hoping i can fix the mic problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] mazak23:
I have the same problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] mazak23:
Tethering

There is a problem with tethering. Every time phone keeps rebooting. I tried any settings - even open network. No joy.

How to trace logs - what can it be?

Hi all,

I have an international (Asia_TW CID__621) HOX. After running CM10.1 for the past while I decided to try CM11. I was at hboot 1.33 so I needed to take care of that first so I found out how to do so by flashing a nandroid backup and allowing it to update to the most recent stock ROM. All was well with the up to date HTC Sense ROM however I still decided to move to CM11 which I did. After a few bugs in CM11 that I didn't like I've decided to give the stock rom a shot again however I am running into a few issues.

I re-flashed the same nandroid backup as I did previously as well as boot and recovery images. Now I boot into the stock rom and the touchscreen does not work. Not the end of the world, I plugged in an OTA USB cable with a mouse and used my mouse to setup the phone, I then made the phone check for an update and one was found and it downloaded, rebooted, installed, rebooted, and I am back into the OS again however I still have no mouse and even worse I have no data or wifi either and they can not be enabled.

Anyone have any idea what I have done wrong? Do I need a different kernel or something? I believe that even after the first update the hboot was still at 1.33. Do I need to move the hboot back to a previous version? What to do what to do?

Thanks xda for your help.
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
You can't lower the hboot without s-off...try to get a nandroid backup for your new main version which is for hboot 1.7x and restore it...be sure to flash the boot.IMG of that backup...then all should work..

[HTC One X] xgumbyx:
Thanks for the response One-X-master.

I managed to do just that shortly after posting. I re-read the "Getting back to stock" thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1859714 and then I downloaded the CID__621 Nandroid Backup 4.18.950.2 from THIS THREAD. I extracted it, flashed boot.img via fastboot, copied it to /sdcardo/clockworkmod/backup/ and restored via recovery, and also flashed the recovery.img that was in the nand backup although it is not the stock recovery. I'm still looking for the 4.18.950.2 recovery image however everything is working now and there are no pending updates so not having the current recovery isn't the end of the world right now

[Moto G Accessories] WiredAnim:
First impressions are positive! It fits the Moto G perfectly and like the official flip shell the back cover is MUCH thicker than stock. It has a nice "grippy" (is that a word?) feel across the back and a soft almost velvet interior against the screen. The flap seems tough enough but doesn't stay completely shut on it's own. There is a small magnet built into the front flap that will turn the screen on but you have to wait 5 seconds with the flap against the screen before it will work. I haven't been able to get it to turn the screen off yet... If anyone else who ordered one has any better luck please share!

The only things that screams "cheap" is the font on the exterior. On the front flap it says "MOTOROLA G" and there is the "M" on the back. The way it is printed looks out of place.

Over all I'm very happy with the $3.25 purchase. I wasn't expecting much and this meets my needs for now. I would like to have an official version but that's $30 I can't currently spend. I will try and keep this thread updated to how long it last. I'm concerned for the hinge of the front flap but time will tell.

UPDATE

I have used the case for about 4 days and it is holding up well. The front cover is starting to close on its own but the magnet isn't strong enough to keep it closed. So far the front flap is holding up well and the velvet like material doesn't gather lint from my pocket. All of the buttons and opening are easy to access. I tried to show it in a pic below but it didn't turn out to well. Trust me though it feels like you have a "stock" shell. I have made calls and closed the cover without issue I could hear and they could hear me. (I wasn't surprised but figured I would mention it) I have finally taken photos but my camera sucks so sorry about the quality... I'm planning on putting a design on the front to cover the text and I'll add a photo of that when finished.

Moto G Flip Shell Case $3.25!

Original Post:

I found this on ebay and couldn't stop myself from ordering. The official version is 29.99 and this one is 3.25 figured worth a shot. Not sure if this has the magnet built into the cover though which is a major selling point for the official version. I sent a message to the seller but haven't heard back yet. I will update this post with some photos and a review once I get it! It's coming from Hong Kong so it will be about 1-2 weeks... :(

SMALL UPDATE:

They finally responded and said there isn't a magnet in the front cover. There is a bit of language barrier so I'm hoping he thought I meant one that wraps around, time will tell. No updates on shipping Estimated arrival time is late next week.

I have owned this case for just over a month and the strap has started coming apart. Magnet has already been lost too... I hope this case gets here soon!
[Moto G Accessories] chlehqls:
What...I just ordered some no name chinese brand with a magnet (But doesn't wake/off) a few weeks ago. I wish this would've been available when I ordered mine since mine's more like a hard back case instead of a battery door replacement type flip cover.

Sigh.

I would love to see photos to those who order this though.

I found some magnetic stickers on amazon for $3.25, maybe you could put one of these on the flip shell and have it work like the official one.

[Moto G Accessories] American Graffiti:
Has someone already bought this flip case? It looks great, but I'm not sure if it's just a cover to put over the original back cover or remplace it totally like the Motorola Flip Shell.

Sorry i haven't read the update of the first post... :silly:

Where are the fonts "Motorola G" placed? I can't see it in the pics.

Should be possible painting it with a spray paint to cover those fonts?
[Moto G Accessories] WiredAnim:
The pics they have don't show any text on the case. As I mentioned in my update I'm planning on putting a design over the front cover. Don't think I'll do spray paint but a sharpie marker would do the trick. I'll share my results.
[Moto G Accessories] chlehqls:
Wait, so there is a magnet on the front of the case? And it sort of does work?
[Moto G Accessories] WiredAnim:
As odd as that sounds, yes. I run C-Rom and it works to turn the screen on (sometimes). I tried running CM11 but the screen won't turn on or off and I did try xposed framework.

[Moto G Accessories] yBrik:
Mine came in. I have also used the official shell (My mom got one)

For $3.25, I'm happy, but the official Moto shell this ain't. There are NO magnets in the cover; the case flops around when closed and the screen will only turn on if I leave Gravity Screen running. The printing (MOTOROLA G on front and the M on the back) looks like it was printed on a dot matrix printer.

If you want to get a cheap case, or try a flip shell, this is fine. But you'll probably still want the official case.
[Moto G Accessories] arokan:
Awesome! Just need to wait a little more for cheap grip shell!
[Moto G Accessories] pisherthefisher:
Looks good but.. How the hell do they make the mistake of covering the notification led?
[Moto G Accessories] WiredAnim:
I agree completely on the dot matrix that is a much better description. I didn't think there were magnets but I couldn't explain the screen on sometimes. Didn't know about the Gravity Screen but makes sense. I do like this one for only $3.25 but I still REALLY want one of the officials.

What color of this and the official do you have?
[Moto G Accessories] artov:
The cover arrived quite quickly from China (10 days after ordering).

First impression is that it doesn't give me a premium feel like the Nillkin hardcase cover does. Also this case is a bit thicker and it doesn't have tiny dots on the back to increase the grip feel.

The flipcover with its automatic function is working properly, which means that it wakes the phone when opening and puts it to sleep when closing. There is also a screen built into the flipcover, but it serves no fuction at all. When the cover gets closed, the screen is dark. When you receive a call, the screen doesn't lit on. When receiving a call and opening the cover, it doesn't answer automatically either.

I will stick to the hardcase from Nillkin and this one goes to my gf.

Hello all I found a fix by accident to play GTA SA on KitKat ROM with my note 3 ,,it is very stable this way and you are able to save games etc ,,I will share the solution with you but I didn't had the time to find out what setting precise made it work but one of the apps or settings what I'm going to tell you will make it work perfect and if I uninstall this apps I get the same crash halfway the loading screen or 1minute gameplay before it crash.

So to make GTA SA work perfectly on KitKat 4.2.2 (Note 3 but prolly for other devices too) you have to install :

Xposed Installer

And after you install the following modules: (prolly don't need them all but got it working with these modules)

Allow long SMS

Android Tuner

App settings

FixVisibilityOfMultipleNonFullScreenActivities

ImmerseMe

Wanam Kit

Wanam Xposed

Xuimod

YouTube Adaway

If this don't works straight after than you need change some settings in AppSettings or AndroidTuner .

I tested this and GTA SA runs very stable on KitKat now and never crashing at the loading game anymore
