[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] robuser007:
using nightly 22/06 my phone slowed down to unusable slow, flashed 24/06 yesterday.

Never had this before on cm nightly's for the relay.

And the charging (usb) problems aren't over yet (sometimes it works fine for a few hours, sometimes a few minutes).

Did a clean install a week ago (didn't solve anything).
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] orange808:
Ok. Now, find out what version of cpu you have and get some logs to help them track down your problems.

There's a search box in the corner.

I don't have any of the problems you are describing and I am betting the developers do not, either.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Gh0sTly:
I am on T-Mo, I get this via the default android messaging app as well as hangouts, but I also have times where mobile data refuses to work as well.

Right now, I'm having this issue on 11-20140608-Snapshot-M7-apexqtmo. I did wipe data and cache before I flashed. I'm not sure what is causing my issue.

I am tempted to reflash it back to factory, and take it back under my total care and get it replaced for a S5, but I really like my keyboard. :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Gibson99:
did you wipe cache and dalvik after flashing the rom? the only quirk i've noticed on m7 is that if i don't reboot every couple of days, my work email program (touchdown) likes to get slow and crashy while composing emails. going to the recent apps drawer and closing everything there usually fixes that. gps and bluetooth work fine even at the same time and battery life is great. after having tried multiple roms on my droid4 and having gps and camera issues, i am pleasently susprised how stable cm is on this relay (which i've only had a couple weeks now).
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Gh0sTly:
I even tried that too. My phone's about a year and a half old now. I've noticed recently if the keyboard is out, or i'm holding the phone sideways, and I get a call, the phone app crashes over and over till i rotate it upward so the display is vertical, then it stops crashing(all while the phone is still ringing so I can still answer it.)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Tamarinde:
Just installed the 09 nightly and all is looking good.

I am a heavy tether user (40gb last 3weeks) so will let you know how well that works in a few hours
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] furboom1240:
Did anyone notice these?

I immediately noticed a few enhancements upon upgrading to M11, but also some bugs (comes with the territory):

LED control is missing

WiFi AP Connected Client count is flawed (then again the presence of a count is new to me)-However my tablet shows up on the list. I noticed a Github-CMXLog change (10/7/14-NIGHTLY) regarding devices behind a firewall, maybe that's it. Apple products are not affected, either, because they show up on my list.

Call volume is too loud, WAY too loud. But somehow it faded just like the NFC bug I also noticed...I hope my earpiece didn't blow...

Nothing else. Great job, [MENTION=4126377]tdm[/MENTION] and all that you do! If you need screenshots or last_kmsg files just gimme the say-so. I'll attach them in my next reply.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
I was using the browser and I get like...really obstructive ads.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Tamarinde:
On the 10-09 nightly I had a random reboot so I updated to 10-10 which is running fine except for some thing I noticed compared to the 08-02 build

1. GPS takes time to get a fix (not sure if related but it started working after turning wifi on.

2. Tether, Laptop lost wifi after making a call and had to restart tether.

This might be a one off so if it happens again I will start collecting logs and try to reproduce the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] furboom1240:
Hey [MENTION=2696368]TPMJB[/MENTION] I understand your problem. Try using adblocker plus. Even though extensions are not available on Android, you can download the APK via the web store and click "get it for Android" and yes, it works better with root.

I hope that helps. If you cannot find it I will put it on my GDrive for easier access.

Have a great weekend!

BTW, here is the Google Drive link. It also has other files I don't mind sharing, including the ones you wanted earlier this month.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
Hey, thanks man! I ended up not using those files you put on there earlier because I decided to wait for a new build of CM11. Whch I'm glad I had! Battery life is awesome with this rom! (well...comparatively)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] robuser007:
The gps isn't working 100%, I sometimes have issues (sometiles wrong speed etc).
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] stashcroft:
There seems to be something wrong with GPS on a whole range of Samsung kit with M11.

http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/100767-cm11-m11-no-gps/

http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/100639-gps-trouble/

Mine doesn't work at all but then I only started trying to use it to test this stuff out so the hardware could be broken.

Are there any logs I can dump to help with debugging?

Cheers,

Scott
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] furboom1240:
Clarification

For those who may be suffering a few bugs from the M11, I've got good advice for a few of them and how to resolve them until another monthly build is released. I also have an oddity I need to tell you, [MENTION=4126377]tdm[/MENTION] .

When I flashed the M11 a second time after using a Facebook Sync hack that failed miserably (contacts FC, unable to merge contacts, blacklist/call log fail, you name it, it isn't your fault) IT WIPED OUT GAPPS ALTOGETHER. However flashing the Gapps from 9/30/14 (4.4.4) solved it. Is this normal when doing a manual flash, or is this a bug? Does ANYBODY ELSE have this bug?

BTW, the sound issue is better. I just can't have the volume down so low, that's what triggers loud volume over earbuds. It's best kept in the middle or at 40% at the start of a call. As for GPS, I haven't tried yet, but network location is better than in CM 10.2.0, so I'm happy. Of course, I have Unbounce installed, so my battery is safe at night. Find Unbounce here.

Someone found a zip for me that can sustain Xposed framework, I will attach it for those interested. Flash it after you update the ROM manually, then reboot. If running Xposed <2.2 you need to do it before and after you flash the update for CM. It will replace the bridge so you don't have to go through Xposed. Purpose? To have those Modules update with the ROM instead of separately, which causes their good work to be broken, especially XFBSync.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] robuser007:
The nightly's aren't build anymore, what's the problem (if any) ?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Gibson99:
the problem is there's only one guy working on this rom and he can only do it in his spare time... when he can pry the relay away from his wife.

but at least he has good incentive to get everything working - i know i wouldn't like listening to my wife if i broke her phone. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] rad30n:
I wouldn't mind pitching in $20 to help tdm buy another apexq for testing. If we get a dozen people we could probably do it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] :
Note to the mods: if you can then this thread over to tdm, that'd be great.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
I appreciate it. But CM will buy me one if I need it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] furboom1240:
Are you running the latest baseband? T699UVBMC5? Just wondering. Always good to check.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] stonefoz:
Can we all tip in and buy this guy a beer then? PLEASE DON"T LEAVE US.

It was heartbreaking enough when Nardholio left.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
Just picked up a spare apexq off craigslist for $80 and it looks like is in pretty great shape. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
So I just installed cm on the new apexq. Runs great so far.

I personally hate running stock DPI so, if you are like me and want more text in the screen, open a root shell and type "wm density x". Replace x with a suitable value. Stock is 240. I like 75% of stock so I used 160. Note some apps get confused but not very many.

Also, now that I have a spare device, I will probably bring up AOKP. Anyone interested?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] robuser007:
I like aokp too :)

Btw the gps isn't working like it should (didn't do a clean flash): my icoyote shows a speed, but it's often wrong (like 10-15km/hour difference, while it was always correct in the past).
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] rad30n:
Great to see you have picked up another apexq! I wish I could pick one too for future safekeeping but I'm in europe and I'm probably one of the two people with apexq on my country (the other being my cousing, we imported two). But, as stonefoz suggested, I'd pitch in for that beer :)

Is there a difference between DPI and font size? I have mine set to the minimum available (85%).

As for roms, honestly I just prefer CM. My phone is my daily driver, don't like to experiment too much ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] furboom1240:
I certainly +1 your appreciation for CM. As it is also my consistent daily driver, I am glad it liberated me from TouchWiz. Who'd ever think KitKat could ever be on this phone? It's just plain amazing.

I certainly hope that [MENTION=4126377]tdm[/MENTION] can get some help soon. I'll certainly pitch in for a few lattes.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
I just posted a thread with an AOKP build. All you unicorns go check it out. When it's reasonably stable and complete, I'll add official support.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] robuser007:
I can't download any cyanogenmod updates, I hope they fix this soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
CM has been having issues with their CDN. It should be resolved soon. If anyone is dying for the latest code, I have a build server that can do nightly builds.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] taiber2000:
If I'm coming from liquid smooth 4.4.4 do i need just to wipe system, data, chach, dalvik and install from twrp?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] furboom1240:
Yes you can and more

This question is very similar to the one I asked [MENTION=4126377]tdm[/MENTION] earlier. Recovery is irrelevant as long as it's updated (TWRP 2.7.1.0 should be good). Once installed, CM11 has a developer option shortcut that allows for the recovery to be updated automatically with the ROM. It will load CWM, however, and overwrite any other recovery you have if you select that option.

The latest CWM version from the website is 6.0.4.5 - You need to wipe everything except /data/media and /mnt/sdcard. If you DO wipe these, you will lose all files on internal memory.

Good luck, and welcome aboard!

Bugs you should be aware of: for M11 only - Nightlies after 10/7/14 solve these

Intense Volume=solved by putting volume at halfway point instead of minimum. Works like a charm.

WiFi AP=devices behind a firewall aren't listed as connected.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] rad30n:
Sorry if i'm asking a stupid question, but I just noticed I have an older version of CWM recovery.

Where is the best place to get the latest version? I see multiple versions split over threads and the CM wiki and many aren't even tagged with the version, you have to install and check.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] furboom1240:
Here's a better idea

Okay. Go to ClockWorkMod's web site, download the image for your device, and then Use Rashr - Flash Tool to flash it on top of your existing recovery. It will give you the option to boot into recovery as soon as you flash the image file successfully. Place the image file in the root of your SD card or external SD card.

I hope this helps. Don't forget to thank me if it does work.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] rad30n:
Erm... I had checked the site already, but the Relay 4G is not listed on it. Or am I missing something?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Gibson99:
no, doesnt look like its there under galaxy s relay or apexqtmo.

there's always twrp, which is what i use - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2668829
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
I can post cm recovery if anyone wants it. Is simple and the off-device backups with "adb backup" are pretty awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] furboom1240:
Here it is

[MENTION=4410693]rad30n[/MENTION] The file you need is attached. And yes, [MENTION=2287913]Gibson99[/MENTION] I got that from the site you said didn't have it. See for yourself.

Once again, Do not forget to thank me for all my effort.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Gibson99:
just checked again. the trick is to look for sgh-t699. searching for relay or apexqtmo will come up empty. perhaps we can get that changed for consistency's sake, since almost every other device is listed by name, and then also lists model only if there are carrier-specific versions. Maybe change it to "Samsung Galaxy Relay 4G (SGH-T699, APEXQTMO)" so all searches would find it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] taiber2000:
there are reports of gps not working in the m11 snapshot release. is anybody experience this?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] tdm:
My wife is on m11 and GPS works.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Gibson99:
i'm still on M7 (yeah i know, i've been busy) and occasionally mine will not give me a precise fix - gmaps just shows the giant light blue circle and sometimes it's close to where i am, but usually not - it's probably using wifi or cell towers to get a fix. when i have that issue, i have to reboot to make gps work, and after that, it's fine.

thing is, i have llama set to reboot my phone every day at 3am while i'm asleep, and as far as i know, it does reboot. occasionally i'll still be up and will see the screen light up and go thru the boot process. not sure what's causing the issue, since it hasn't always done this - only in the past week or so.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Tamarinde:
I'm on the 10302014 nightly and GPS is dead as it can get
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] juajaime:
Same here, was on M11 and could not get GPS to work. I'm on LS now and it's working fine so definitely not a hardware issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
GPS worked fine for me. I went from LS to this rom. I'm guessing something odd is awry. Might have to do with how it was installed?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] scotte9999:
GPS works fine on a nightly from just after M11 was cut. Installed dirty on top of an unofficial CM build I made in September.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Tamarinde:
I have been dirty flashing from the 0802 build if that helps.

Only A-GPS works for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
Back up everything and try a clean flash. It's hard to say if you've been dirty flashing that long. My GPS works fine, but I clean flash every time.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Tamarinde:
Did a clean flash with the latest nightly but still no GPS
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Gibson99:
M7 still... gps is recently hit or miss for me. i installed a gps test app and it told me it was seeing like 10-15 sats even though i was inside. it got the fix FAST, too - 2-3 seconds tops. so i go back to gmaps and it couldn't find where i was - it was showing the big blue circle with a radius of probably a mile, and was centered a good half mile from where i actually was. so i installed waze, and it got an accurate fix almost instantly. weird part is when closed waze and opened gmaps, gmaps got a good fix immediately, and was fine for the rest of the drive. :confused: no idea what the problem is. privacy guard isn't blocking location for gmaps, and the location settings are set to use everything - gps sats, cell and wifi.

btw i never turn off gps - i've found over the years with various devices that leaving it on all the time gives me a faster fix when i need gps and doesn't really hurt battery life that much if you're not actually using it. especially with things like privacy guard to control which apps can or can't talk to gps.

i see a block of free time coming up soon so i'll have time to backup the phone and clean flash m11 and see how it behaves. might also try liquidsmooth just to compare.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
You might have to Odin the latest stock firmware, re-root, then install this rom. I know it's a bother, but I had a signal issue that this actually fixed. You wouldn't expect it either. I'm guessing yours is the same issue.

I did have a Samsung Epic 4G where the GPS was just borked. No matter what I tried, it wouldn't work. It's possible you have a lemon, but unlikely.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Tamarinde:
No need to start swearing at me! ;)

Once I have time I will look into it more, which will be 1 or 2 months or so since I don't use gps that often.

Its only a pain when I leave the country because I can't use my other phone there.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Magamo:
Tamarinde, it sounds to me like you're possibly running into a bug in Maps, if GPS Status gets a fix quickly, then you're getting a fix properly. If Maps isn't Coming up with the data, that sounds like a Maps issue. Do other (perhaps non google) apps see the data properly? Also, I've run into situations where my phone won't get a fix for a very, very long time, and then it will be a weak fix (1-2 sats) Try a battery pull. Fixes that for me all of the time.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] orange808:
When dirty flashing the 11/09 nightly over M11, wifi appears to be borked.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] orange808:
Ok. I pulled a logcat and the device reported a bizarre MAC for my router. Reflashed and wifi is happy again.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] orange808:
GPS issue

Here is a logcat of the GPS issue at work. GPS has been completely non-functional since builds resumed--after Nardholio moved on to other projects.

From the device behavior, I do not believe the GPS is functioning at all. The device appears to rely completely on wifi, magnetic field, and Google network positioning to estimate a location. Also, GPS Status should display an icon that shows an estimation of my GPS signal, the icon appears and immediately disappears. This should display at all times when GPS is enabled and in use.

Anyhow, I have attached the logcat and I hope someone can help us figure out what is broken.

I assume there was a commit from upstream related to GPS that came in since August. Reverting to my 8/3 nightly gets a fix on my location in about 20 seconds using device GPS only. The hardware works fine.

Sorry about the long post. Hope this helps. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] juajaime:
Is there anyway one of you who has GPS working can make your GPS.conf file (from system/etc) available? I'd like to replace my current file and see if this helps (I'm in the U.S.).
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] orange808:
GPS.conf

Here's the GPS.conf file from the last working build I have with GPS working properly. (08-03-2014)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
So looking at these files I see only 3 differences - the debug level shouldn't matter to functionality, though to be honest I haven't tried looking at my logs. The sensor algorithm mask is just syntactic sugar for "1". The value for CAPABILITIES looks like the biggie. Assuming that this is really a bit mask, one of the bits has been turned off on the new file. There is a discrepency of what that bit means, being called Geofencing in the old file, but ULP in the new. Google is helping me out with "geofencing", but does anyone know what "ULP" is? Is ULP really another term for geofencing, or has this bit been redefined for some hardware?

However for some people GPS works on the new builds, for me not. I may try flipping this bit tonight, just for jollies.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Tamarinde:
Thanks guys!

I have updated debug to 0 (dont need it) and capabilities back to 0x36

Now let me do a quick test outside and see how it goes.

I will edit this post

Didn't work.. will test more in an hour

I have played with all the values that were different but without result
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Gibson99:
gps is sometimes flaky for me on M7 but most times it's fine. when it's flaky, a reboot fixes it. i haven't tried m10 or even m8 yet. i use gps pretty regularly so i really hesitate to upgrade.

i only mention this as another baseline/data point for people to look at when trying to figure out when the problems started.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
To continue the baseline, I had GPS working decently back on M8. It has not worked since starting the new nightlies, and I have not tried M11. Nor have I had time to try the "0x36" fix suggested above or a factory reset prior to flashing. My home wireless password is 63 characters pseudorandom, and a royal pain to type in. I think I can get around that, but it takes fiddle time, which I haven't had lately.

With respect to that CAPABILITIES bit change, I don't know if those bits are merely sent to the driver, or if they're being pushed into a hardware register. Nor do I know if "ULP" is simply another way of saying "geofencing". My current guess is now that that bitmask is simply being sent to the driver, where it is interpreted. As part of that, I suspect that the common GPS driver was updated between M8 and the new nightlies. I know a bunch of stuff broke back around the end of July. One other thing that broke on M8 was the video on the camera.

I suspect that many drivers have moved past the hardware of the Relay, and that's why we're losing movies and GPS. Right now the GPS problems seem to be inconsisten - some people have them and some don't, running the same ROM images. I don't know if it's a hardware vintage issue, or if the factory reset will make a big difference.

I don't know enough about this platform, either hardware or software, to do proper debug.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
Pardon my android ignorance. I'm unable to overwrite /etc/gps.conf - I get read-only filesystem. I've got root, and I've remounted rootfs with rw permissions, and it shows running just "mount". But it still won't let me overwrite - tells me it's still a read-only filesystem. I'm obviously missing something. I know that there are some odd mounts in android, and this must be one of them.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Tamarinde:
You need to open your file manager with Root (its a setting in your file manager somewhere) then when you choose to edit the file it will work
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
It turned out that from adb shell I need to run "su", then do the "mount -o rw,remount" against /system instead of /. As I said, it looks like there's a lot of bind-mounting going on. I just need to look at it in detail and sort it all out.

Anyway, after changing gps.conf and rebooting, I still don't see any satellites. It's going to take a factory reset, I guess. Pain in the neck.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Gibson99:
i think that's because the system dir is actually a separate partition, just like swap, so technically it's a mount of its own that lives in / instead of in the mount dir where removable media mounts live.

i use es file explorer and it has a simple "mount system rw" in the options so that if you're rooted, it's as simple as checking the box once then it's always rw.
