[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
As far as I know, the only fix currently available is earlier on this thread, and involves flashing back to 10.2, including the modem, firing up the GPS, pulling the battery with a GPS lock, then flash back forward. I'd get the directions from earlier in this thread, not from what I've just said.

I was looking into another way, but have pretty much run out of avenues.

Along this line, my wife's phone is currently at CM11 M8 and GPS works. Does anyone know if I can get a GPS lock on her phone, pull the battery, and then boot to recovery and flash it up to a recent nightly?

Speaking of sliders and the fact that the Relay appears to be the last, best of the breed, I just saw this on Ars Technica:

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] yohan4ws:
I did the GPS fix, was in the car today trying to use it and it kept dropping signal... dont know if its because i've updated to latest nightlies or if it never was working

*** EDIT , In the above, I was using WAZE to conserve battery .. Now, I did roll back to may 31st nightly, GPS is now fully functioning again .. not to mention I'm getting tremendous battery life so long as I keep wifi off when not needed. Juice defender can solve this for you.

Pretty happy with this Rom since I got it working! - Although, for clash of clans users, I can't get xmod games working but I could in liquid smooth ... *shrug*

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
Do you have a working link for the CM10.1 image? I've tried several of the links I've found here, and none of them are live any more.

Another question... I thought that it was necessary to downgrade the baseband software for this fix. But everyone I've seen doing it recently has been flashing the JB-stock-modem.zip, which was the first thing I did as part of flashing to CM11 almost two years ago. So it sounds as if I don't have to flash my baseband/modem?

I was hoping to get a flash-free fix by doing something directly to the NVRAM. Non of my attempts to backup the NVRAM and compare images between my wifes's phone an mine have panned out. This summer I bought a new laptop, and finally having a Windows license I downloaded EFS Professional, but it appears to not support the Relay. So that avenue for fixing NVRAM doesn't appear to have worked out. I guess it's time for the flashing fix. Now I just need a link to a 10.1 image that works.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] dzl:
After picking up my phone recently, which was running *I think* a LiquidSmooth 10.2 image, I flashed the latest CM11 nightly and have not had an issue with the GPS working. Though I could be remembering wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
My GPS is already broken, has been since the nightlies restarted about a year ago. I get the impression that once it's borked, only the back-flash can re-enable it. (I saw a suggestion that a forward-flash to one of the 5.x images might be able to fix it. I'd rather try the back-flash, if I can.)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] blindbox:
What do you need 10.1 for? I thought the GPS fix involves 10.2?

But, here you go, untested CM10.2, not CM10.1 https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=apexqtmo

I can't really speak for CM11, as I'm using Liquidsmooth. So far, GPS works quite well on that ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
This is odd. I thought that the GPS fix required both CM10.1 and a prior level of baseband firmware. Yet when I finally went looking to do this recently, all of the baseband references gave the same one I'm using, and all of the CM10.? links had expired.

From what I understand, there was a time-frame of firmware that borked the GPS, and unfortunately I loaded one from that time-frame. Getting it un-borked is the problems, and if I could do so, the 20151004 nightly I'm running now would do GPS just fine. I'm not sure if liquidsmooth fixes the problem I'm having, or if you've been lucky to never cause it.

It may not matter, anyway. I believe my wife's phone has a broken proximity detector. If that's the case, it's time for a new pair of phones, and I'll pick something that does Marshmallow.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] taiber2000:
i see we still getting nightlies, is someone still work on cm11 for the realy?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
There's still some people trying to work on it behind the scenes. Hopefully we can get some CM12.1 action goin soon!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] furboom1240:
It's been a while since I contributed my two sense to the best QWERTY I've ever had since the Sidekick. If we eventually retire the Relay, I would strongly suggest backing the PRIV. it's unlocked and it has a keyboard similar to the Torch 9700 in how it pops out...
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
Yeah, it only has a much worse keyboard, no ability to root it yet (and if BB has its way, this will never happen) and is $700. So yeah, almost exactly like the Relay I bought for $70.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] furboom1240:
Yeah. That's the turn off for plenty. My enthusiasm stems from the thinness of it despite the QWERTY and the fact of runs 5.1 and is slated for MM soon. A good price may come to those who wait...

But as for rooting, there's nothing this community can't do. I'm sure Chainfire will lead the way as he does best... ??
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
I just moved back down to CM11, and suddenly all the programs that I couldn't have running because my phone would slow to a crawl (Snapchat, Pandora, GMaps could not all run at once) can now suddenly run at once again. I mean, sure it isn't the fastest phone, but it's actually functional now, for once.

5.0.2 was the biggest mistake I made with this phone.

So I don't have a giant urge to get a new phone yet. I'm good with 4.4.4. If I'm to move up, I will not compromise on features I like. Like the keyboard and rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] furboom1240:
I agree. You know what? I really liked Kitkat. What the heck happened this year? Three APIs already...
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
I don't really know if a whole hell of a lot of new functionalities were added, either. Looked like mostly GUI changes.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] furboom1240:
I just hope this isn't an effort to match Apple cheek to cheek. If anything, Google should NOT do that. Even the packaging is just too close nowadays...?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
I blame Apple for smartphones going to touch screen only. My first smartphone, the samsung i760, had a stylus. I thought that was cool as hell! But nope, let's just remove physical features, one by one, to cut down on manufacturing cost. The user can just deal
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] furboom1240:
It's kinda why I put the PRIV out there. It may be expensive now, but the relay was $450 once upon a time...and the probing nature of the Android community will put the Priv center stage as the Relay's worthy successor sooner or later.

The phone's pretty thin despite the QWERTY...Apple's success is proof that we still take what's at face value than what's most important...
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Bobby Tables:
If you want a phone with a stylus that doesn't break the bank, the LG G Stylo is a pretty nice unit (at least if you get the T-Mobile or MetroPCS versions, which have double the RAM of the Boost version). No QWERTY, obviously, but with the large screen that's a lot less of a problem for me. The battery is removable, and it has a MicroSD slot (I'm running a 64 GB card in mine).
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
Needs to have a keyboard too. The stylus was nice, but not absolutely necessary. The keyboard is absolutely necessary.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] taiber2000:
does anybody having a wakelock with the two latest nightlies?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] furboom1240:
Hey, [MENTION=4556728]taliber[/MENTION]2000! I just happened to be browsing our commits on cmxlog and I'd like to ask - is this wakelock audio or media related?

There was a commit that was quickly reverted about two days ago and was wondering if your concern had anything to do with it.

I'm surprised we're still getting nightlies. Last year's squabble seems far removed now. I just might re-instate my Relay at the helm...
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] taiber2000:
i don't think so. as it happened even if the phone just been rebooted and was standing still for a few minuts.

i reverted back to cm10.2.1 as it's seems cm11 still no usable for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] furboom1240:
Try the M11. I actually stuck to 10.2.1 until i saw the calamity associated with KitKat die down. Just ask [MENTION=4908192]Magamo[/MENTION] - i was quite stubborn. If anything, KK is like the Windows 7 of Android. Don't count it out yet...??
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
I appear to be the only one who likes 8.1.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] furboom1240:
Oh dear. That's problematic. Not too ginger on that idea...I love(d) my Sony Walkman but i had to let it go eventually. At least i still own a perfectly healthy ps2.

In the Android world, holding on to a deprecated OS is dangerous, and I'm not just speaking aesthetically. Hackers would cleave through that like yesterday's stale swiss. Stagefright concerned me and i pushed my s5 to LP right away. I was on a snapshot from LS prior. Klte was late to CM11 so more emphasis was on CM12...
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
Lol what is wrong with Windows 8.1? I feel like the "Free upgrade" to windows 10 is incredibly suspect. Feels like you're giving the NSA a set of spare keys to your house.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] furboom1240:
Oh. WINDOWS 8.1. Thought you meant CM8. Which was based on Gingerbread. Hence my subtle reference...my bad.?

---------- Post added at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 PM ----------

All good in theory. Despite the T699's age, I'm impressed at how adaptable it has been with custom ROMs despite it being dropped for updates by Samsung and T-Mobile. At this point, motivation isn't the limit. It's hardware resiliency...
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] cucumbers:
I didn't use CM11 much when I was actively using my Relay, I wanted more customizability in my QS tiles and other such... the last ROM I put on it before I retired it was Validus 7.0 (so 5.0.2). But I fire it up now and then, for the keyboard. So I finally decided to "downgrade" and put on the latest CM11, as there are still nightlies for the Relay and all the other ROMs for it are dead. Not so much of a downgrade! I'm quite impressed. Super snappy, and CM11 has come a long way since I last used it. Good enough to be daily driver material. I think I'll be using my Relay for the rest of the week at least.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Bobby Tables:
Though I've moved on to the Stylo for my mobile needs, my Relay is still finding use as a home phone, by turning on airplane mode, then enabling Wi-Fi, and connecting CM11's built-in SIP client to my Asterisk server.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] yohan4ws:
Give us an update on if GPS is working well, also I think bluetooth and 2.4ghz wifi were still issues when trying to stream music from wifi to a bluetooth audio system ...

I've since updated to an S5 (got it used for $150) first impressions of CM12 lollipop is it was ugly and the camera was crap - no panoramic .. I put on CM11 and am loving the speed and battery life, takes better pictures but holy crap typing is a b*** .... I might just go to a blackberry PRIV afterall ... Challenge is, rooting. It doesn't appear to be rootable at this time and a locked bootloader... eek!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
I can confirm the old workaround to get xposed to work no longer works with the latest build for CM11. I'm wondering if this December build works with xposed or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Suncatcher16:
Is CM11 for Relay still supported? Where can I submit bugs? Is this the right bugtracker?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] furboom1240:
It should be. Trend Micro is giving that link a green, so it is legit. Yes, CM11 nightlies are still available for the Relay, like an old grandpa that loves getting hugged.?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Suncatcher16:
However I cannot find any bugtracker or issuetracker there. Where can I contact DEVs, Mr. Nardholio?:)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] cucumbers:
For what it's worth:

-GPS seems fine, but I don't use it much. I did get a lock yonks ago on the stock ROM and it's seemed ok ever since.

-bluetooth streaming: seems ok, both with my BT stereo headset and Jawbone Jambox. And to be honest I've only streamed audio from my SD card, ahven't tried a streaming service like Spotify, or from my personal Plex server.

-2.4GHz wifi: have to say I haven't had much luck streaming to my Chromecast since switching back to CM11 (it worked while I was on Validus 5.0.2), but I haven't tried very hard either. I'll try some more and report back.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] cucumbers:
Update on my last post:

-Streaming from WiFi 2.4GHz to a BT device does work, although with some gaps now and then. 5GHz WiFi works better obviously (I streamed from my Plex server on my LAN)

-Connecting to Chromecast is working fine, both 2.4 and 5GHz. My earlier issues were likely due to trying to connect to the Chromecast after a few weeks of inactivity and a system update...

So all in all, the Relay on the latest CM11 build (the 13 Dec nightly) is working just fine in most (all?) respects.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
Hey, I just answered a PM after not logging into XDA for over a year (probably more)... I don't do forum anymore, but I just wanted everyone on apexq to know my wife still uses apexq as a daily and I will be attempting to put cm13 on it at some point in the next couple months.

Given that I don't do forums, I probably won't see your replies for ... quite a while. But since I'm sure the relay community is rather small, I'm game for a hangout or something similar. Ping me at tdm dot code at gmail dot com and let's see where this goes...
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
Nice! I have...reservations about running cm13 on this thing. I feel as though it's beyond this phone's ability to run it smoothly. But I'd love to test it!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] xdoza:
Hi mates! Sorry for the post in the 5.0.2 thread, i think this is the right one.

Anybody using the CM11 builds have problems with low microphone in recording apps (for example whatsapp). Call works ok.

Is the only annoying issue i have with CM right now. Tried both last stable release and nightlys.

THanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
It's strange, but once in a while in Snapchat my volume is super low. If I re-record it, it comes out fine. I chalked it up to playing music at the same time
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] xdoza:
Mmm not my case. If I talk with someone with a phone call he can hear me ok, but if i send him a whatsapp audio, the audo is very low.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] xdoza:
Sorry to reask, so noone is having this "low mic" issue with CM11 in the relay?

THanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] xdoza:
Another issue I'm having with cm11 is some kind of wifi disconnection bug.

The WiFi works for some time but suddenly, without disconnecting (the wifi sign is on) loses the internet connection. I can fix it turning wifi off and on again (or restarting phone). But after a some time, again it disconnects.

Anyone has this problem with relay and this rom?

Thanks!

Thanks for reading.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Gibson99:
actually that happened to me yesterday too. i had the keyboard out and was typing into a web form in firefox and got a call, phoneui crashed, and once i closed the keyboard the normal slide to answer screen appeared and i could answer - the phone was ringing the whole time. i use my phone as a PHONE so rarely it doesn't really bother me but it might actually be a bug. maybe the phoneui process doesn't have a landscape gui, and since the keyboard forces the system into landscape, phoneui crashes instead of just reverting to portrait to show its gui.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] orange808:
Those dialer crashes sound like issues with themes to me. Of course, you'll need to get some logs to really be sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Gibson99:
if that's true then it's an issue with the stock cm theme. closest thing to theming i've done is to set my own jpg as wallpaper, and edited build.prop to change the dpi.

i've never dealt with logs in android, so if you can point me to where they live and i'll gladly post em up somewhere.

I dont use any themes. Only thing I do is change the wallpaper, and maybe a few sounds. It does this right out of a fresh flash with everything cleared too, so I doubt its a theme issue.

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------

I know that the phoneui has a landscape mode. It used to work just fine in landscape mode...
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] robuser007:
Sound on the other end of the line is quite low, is there a workaround to fix this (annoying).
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Gibson99:
i've had no complaints about sound during calls except when i'm using the bluetooth kit in my car, and that's the fault of the kit - it does that with other phones too.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Balthasar85:
The camera does not work. The photos are ok. If I select the camera app crashes. Any idea? Can I install the old app that ran on JB?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] robuser007:
Changing sim card with another provider gives problems: sometimes there is no connection (need to reboot), autoselect network issue ?

I reflashed with the new sim to fix this.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] orange808:
You will have to post the devs a logcat on that camera issue.

I'm on the 7/5 nightly right now and I have no camera issues at all.

I'll update to M8 this week and see what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Balthasar85:
update:

- If I make a video to the resolution "HD720p" the app does not work (freeze). If I make a video to "480p" everything works fine.

Where can I find the old camera app?

Inaccuracy in CM installation instructions

I finally took the plunge and installed CM on my Relay, after getting tired of my LG F3's severely limited internal storage. Yeah, the F3 has LTE and incredible battery life, but it's getting cramped with recent app updates.

I've noticed a little inaccuracy in the installation instructions on the wiki:

I think that should say "updated to the stock 4.1 OTA" instead. My Relay already had the OTA JB update (which I'd previously rooted), and CM 11 M7 installed smoothly without problems; I didn't have to futz with the modem or bootloader. So far, so good, at least - everything I've tried so far seems to work.

I'm still getting used to the way CM does things, but it looks good so far. Thanks to all the developers who have made this possible!

No wifi on nightly 20140727 and later

Hi,

Everything else works fine but wifi won't start.

It is off at boot up and trying to turn it on says 'failed to load driver' in the logs.

Is anybody else seeing this?

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] :
I'm dropping official cm for apex because I don't want to deal with them anymore. I'm finally caving and going keyboard less (HTC M8)

At least until a new QWERTY comes out with decent specs
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Gibson99:
hey, april 1st was almost 4 months ago. don't be like that. :P
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] chuckiev79:
Thank you for your efforts. Good luck to you.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Bobby Tables:
Ouch. Just as I finally decide to try out CM. I've always been a master of bad timing. Thanks for putting it together, at least. I guess I should go get something that's already officially supported.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Gibson99:
i have no complaints about M7 and M8 just came out a few weeks ago - i haven't tried it yet but i don't expect any issues with it either.

nard - thanks for all you've done, even if i only got to see the tail end of it (i've only had a relay for about 2 months now).
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Bobby Tables:
I auto-updated it to M8 last night, and that went smoothly... but if I start having trouble with it, I guess I'll be either going back to the rooted stock ROM that I backed up, or else giving OmniToad a try.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] robuser007:
No more nightlies, so sad :(

I never had (big) issues with these builds, thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
Since there's a dearth of activity here, I'll just mention that tonight I loaded the 20160313 nightly. So far, so good, though I haven't done much testing. I've heard of volume problems here, so I called my answering machine at work. My listening volume was OK, and tomorrow I'll check my phonemail and see how the mic volume is.

No tests yet of wifi, GPS, or anything else.

EDIT: Microphone volume is just fine. GPS works, wifi works. I guess that's pretty basic functionality, but it covers most of my usage.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
My microphone recently died on my relay, so I'm biding my time waiting to buy a new phone (I want the Xiaomi mi5, but no LTE upsets me.) I'd love if it was just a software issue, but the front camera died as well.

Also, lol'd at "dearth of activity.

Latest nightly seems to work fine for me
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] cucumbers:
I've been keeping up with the Nightlies since December, and using my Relay again regularly for more than a week (smashed up my regular phone). I'd say that these latest updates to CM11, plus one of [MENTION=5037435]REV3NT3CH[/MENTION]'s old KitKat kernels, almost make you forget this phone is only running a Snapdragon S4. Everything is running smoothly and it's such a joy to be using a physical keyboard. I only wish the screen wasn't so terrible (pentile drives me nuts...)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
This intrigues me, "plus one of [MENTION=5037435]REV3NT3CH[/MENTION]'s old KitKat kernels". I've seen some hints that the kernel isn't wedded to the rest of the install, but this is the most direct statement I've seen. I was under the impression that you'd have to build your own image in order to replace/reconfigure the kernel. Can you explain a bit more, or give a pointer?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] cucumbers:
A ROM will always include a kernel, otherwise it wouldn't work. BUT - the kernel itself is essentially a module within the OS, so it's completely possible to install an alternate kernel once you've installed the ROM (overriding the kernel built into the ROM). Or, if you are compiling your own ROM, you can "mix and match" to some extent, i.e. grab the code for another kernel and put it into the code for your ROM. That said, the kernel and the ROM have to be compatible. I can't really speak to the details of compatibility, but you can't just grab any kernel you want willy-nilly, you need to know whether it will work with your ROM first.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] furboom1240:
[MENTION=5037435]REV3NT3CH[/MENTION] has always suggested mixing and matching. His top suggestion has always been the BL4CKB1RD kernel...although I stuck with the CM kernel from my last nightly and I still loved LS...

Idk if you saw...I am trying to get a Marshmallow ROM going for this phone...still runs strong
