the closest thing to a performance setting i changed was screen brightness. i dont over or underclock anything and dont know enough about scheduling or whatever to mess with that. so it was all set to whatever is stock in the rom.

Problem with Alt keys on the physical keyboard

Is anyone having problems with "Alt" keys on the physical keyboard?

I can't get any Alt-characters to type on the physical keyboard under this ROM ... i.e., no exclamation point, no special characters, etc.

I just noticed this for the first time, and I don't know whether this is something new, or whether it's been happening since I first flashed this ROM.

???

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Gibson99:
i noticed that in both this rom and fattoad, you can't just tap alt then press the other key - you have to hold alt while pressing the other key. i notice it most while trying to make an apostrophe, but also other keys as well. shift is the same way.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] HippoMan:
This must be a different problem for me, then. I can't get any Alt-characters to type, whether I hold the Alt key down at the same time I press the other key, or whether I hit the Alt key followed by the other key.

In the 4.4.4 ROM I was previously using, I had no problem entering Alt characters.

I'll continue to try to diagnose this problem.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] croogrog:
I noticed that there is no option for the apex keyboard in settings->language and input->sec keypad. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

I have noticed that the alt key works in some cases and not others. For instance I have no problem with it in the xda dev app, but it doesn't work when adding a google account to the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] HippoMan:
Thank you.

After more diagnosis, I see that the physical keyboard Alt key works properly with the default Android Keyboard (AOSP). However, with the 3rd-party keyboard software that I prefer (SwiftKey, etc.), the Alt key doesn't work.

I had to go back to 4.4.4, because typing is a "key" feature for me (yes, that was a deliberate bad pun).

Battery Drains Massively.....!!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] sparksco:
Does it also charge fast? I had the same issues when switching from KitKat to lollipop... I wanted to blame everything else but what the true problem was...
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] falle21:
Come on, don't come to said things like that without any explanation, did you a clean flash? Use the recommended gapps? Did you change something in performance? Check cpu enter in deep sleep? For comments like that without any useful info the threads close, people don't try this and developers don't develop any more.

Battery in my case works awesome without changing nothing in performance, only with privacy guard I block the stay awake permission for Google play services.

The only minor issue I found is ram usage but I solved it rebooting phone once per day
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] croogrog:
On several roms I have had the relay's power manager service get confused when booting the phone while its plugged in, causing it to wakelock. A reboot with the phone running on battery seems to clear this up and battery use goes back to normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] saurabhsaurabhrai:
Thanks for replying.....I have done a clean installation of this new ROM......And First Thing First.....I'm not criticizing any one and very thankful to the developers who took my device this far.....I pointed an issue which I was facing after flashing this new ROM and Didn't mentioned anything because I'm using my phone as it is with default configuration after flashing except I disabled LED notification ....!!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] falle21:
Thats because plugged in boot dont get into deep sleep, and when you disconnect your phone don't get anymore, I experimented this issue a lot, I always reboot or power on my phone on battery, wait till power screen off, 2 min with screen off and that's the time to be sure deep sleep is working and plug Mi phone or whatever I want and everything works fine. You can check that using cpu spy for free on playstore

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

I recommend you check if your phone get into deep sleep mode, because I repeat i m using the ROM and everything work fine and battery is awesome, maybe for some reason your phone its not entering in that mode and of course your battery drain a lot. Like I said, to look that fast I use CPU spy
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] taiber2000:
i noticed that after a while apps just close without notice while using them. maybe there is a memory leak somewhere. is anybody else experiences this?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] chuckiev79:
I could be wrong but I think this is a lollipop issue. I personally have been toying with mini free values to find a happy medium.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] falle21:
I guess the same, I have to reboot once per day and everything works fine, but I don't use a lot of apps at the same time
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] chuckiev79:
Just saw this. Probably won't work with valadius but maybe the apex rom. http://www.androidguys.com/2015/02/17/fix-android-lollipop-memory-leak-bug/
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] falle21:
Thanks for that, sounds weird, I'll gonna try it, but yeah, said it don't work on any ROM except cm
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Emil Borconi:
Hi. I might be a total noob, but how do you switch of intelliplug?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] chuckiev79:
I think I may have used 3c toolbox pro for that. I can't remember, but it wasn't a good thing. I think problems with maps/GPS are ram related. But I'm no expert at this stuff at all. I just mess around to see what works and what doesn't.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Emil Borconi:
Thanks. Then probably I will wait for a more official fix of the GPS issue. ( I kind'a need that since my phone is my satnav as well)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] taiber2000:
wanted to sat that i reverted back to cm10.2 with only the wipe of system/data/caceh/dalvik and without using any battery trick or nothing and the gps worked falwlessly. so i do beleve it can be fixed by a software patch some how.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Emil Borconi:
Sorry... are you saying, that you went back to CM 10.2, do a full wipe, then installed again this rom and the GPS is working? Or you just did a wipe and install this rom and all was working? Did you use Clockwork or TWRP? Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] taiber2000:
I didn't installed this rom again I stayed on cm10.2 but the important part was I didn't needed to take off the battery as part of fixing the gps. this make think that the problem could be fixed by manuplate files on the nvram.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] emaayan:
well just tried installing the vardius.

quick note, i first installing fattoat 5.0.02 rom and for that i installed cwm 6.0.4.4 , however i failed to install it as it was stuck on after saying detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/byname/system

so i gave up (maybe i should have waited longer) and went for varidus, (naturally i did a complete format/wipe/factory rest/ of everything before installing any of those roms.

vardius installed, however when i tried using the recommend gapps in the op, google play services kept crashing on me, so i did a re-install, and this time used gapps-lp-20141109-signed that was suggested on fattoad's that didn't cause crashes, i then updated everything from the google play

however when trying to access my gmail, it was stuck on syncing , and i never came out of it

should i re-install and this time use another gapps?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Magamo:
FatToad takes a long time to install. It'll print the filesystem detected lines, and then you just have to wait until it is done. (In my case, it can take up to 10 minutes)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] HibikiRush:
Manual exposure in the camera does not work, same as in LiquidSmooth.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
Not that I need it, but the download link no longer works.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] vmu:
Yup, Link still dead. Does someone have the files? Very interested to try this rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
It wasn't anything to write home about and seemed to have more issues than FatToad, which is my daily driver. I also have a lot of issues with FatToad.

I wish there was a decent phone to upgrade to :/
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] cucumbers:
FWIW my Relay is my backup phone so I don't use it much, but this Validus build is what I'm running on it, and it was working out better for than FatToad. Pretty sure it depends on your setup and kernel settings. Anyway, I quite liked it while I was using it, except for the battery drain, even with a bunch of apps Greenified.

Bear in mind that both this ROM & FatToad are at 5.0.2 only - which is inherently flawed. If anyone was able to get some 5.1.1 build for the Relay going, we'd see a noticeable jump in performance & memory management.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] vmu:
Ah ok, thanks for the heads up. I might "upgrade" to the Blackberry Pirv It's too bad it had only four rows of keys though.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
Magamo said he was working on it a while ago, and then seemingly disappeared. Shame because 5.0.2 is really ****ty for GPS.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] cucumbers:
Yes, that's true, I remember that. But I also understand that Magamo has been rather busy with other stuff lately. Ah well...
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] axy_david:

Heads up guys...gonna try bringing up relay to Marshmallow status
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] cucumbers:
Woo0t!

---------- Post added at 12:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

BTW if Marshmallow doesn't work out, upgrading this ROM to 5.1.1 in and of itself would be a quantum leap. Just sayin'...
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
5.1.1 development is pretty dead but marshmallow is booming pretty good.. To me its much more stable than lollipop...especially on my nexus. Shouldn't be too hard and seeing as s3 already has seen it relay's future is looking positive, I'm not done with relay yet and it deserves better....been doing a lot in terms of android lately and been pretty successful with everything
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] cucumbers:
Haha, good stuff. Glad you're back in the game. My Relay is a trusty backup and I pull it out now and then just to feel that keyboard. Would love to see MM on it. Glad there's still life in this underrated device!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
I agree...the relay is prolly the only device Samsung did right in my honest opinion..there's prolly 2 other Sammy devices that come close but relay tops em
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] cucumbers:
To be honest, they main thing that keeps me from using my Relay more regularly is the screen - the low-res pentile drives me nuts. Otherwise it can still do just about everything I need, and with the right build of Android it's still plenty fast.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Be Jammin:
Fantastic! I still use my relay everyday. The one feature I am really looking forward to in Marshmallow is the unified memory pool.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] cucumbers:
BTW happy to help if you need testers.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] taiber2000:
[MENTION=5037435]REV3NT3CH[/MENTION] i do think you should open a new thread for your upcoming build, hope it will be a CM one.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
I'll be directly honest here...I don't really agree with or like cm..I'm more an aosp + caf kinda person...I could go into a whole long list of reasons to my feelings on why...some are obvious. The big major one though is I believe more so in quality and stability and cm has repeatedly failed to meet that as a ROM, base and an inc. In my opinion. Validus here used to be a said cm based ROM. Since this I have released my own ROM at one point and do plan on bringing it to marshmallow with a release for quite a few devices. Ive also been working alongside some great guys.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] taiber2000:
Thats good to hear. Me personally like cm, but i will be happy with any kind of MM goodness that is aosp based. I hope MM release will fix GPS issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] vmu:
Wow, this is awesome news! I still use the relay as my main phone (just can't say goodbye to this wonderful slider keyboard)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] chuckiev79:
I'm glad to hear your going to give mm a go on the relay Rev3nt3ch. I have moved on to the priv as my main device, but I still have my relay. And it would be pretty amazing to see it go from ics to mm.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
Heads up guys im working on all the source for the relay as we speak...when i get some builds going im gonna need some testers...if any of you have me on hangouts just pm me and ill fill you in on updates!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
OK here another heads up. So far I have a perfectly working TWRP 3 .img file that works flawless on the relay...has many well needed updates. I finally was able to get marshmallow to compile today but isn't booting up...so I'm fixing that up currently....not stopping until we get boot and everything working...so far a lot of success
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] segacs:
Non-techie Galaxy S Relay user here. Frustrated with how slow it is, but unwilling to upgrade until someone makes a modern slider phone with a tactile keyboard. (I'm old-school like that... touchscreen typing is not for me.) Still running stock Jelly Bean 4.1.2, albeit rooted. Would like to be able to upgrade to a more recent version of Android so I can run more updated apps. Watching this thread with interest, though I might chicken out when the time comes 'cause if I brick this phone, I think I'll cry.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] cucumbers:
I would suggest that until a new ROM emerges from this dev, the best choice might be the Cyanogenmod 11 nighties - they are up to date and quite fast. Feels like a different phone - and shows just what the hardware can do!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
so finally after some hard work ive made some great progress....stay tuned for whats to come soon
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] taiber2000:
Great to hear. Waiting eagerly. If twrp 3 is already working, maybe you an release it as a flashable zip?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] emaayan:
like getting your battery to 51 degrees ceclius

this is what i have now, but all my apps are on quarentine because if just using facebook groups causes this thing to be sluggish.. :( my cpu is almost always at 100%, and the trephn profile usually points to android system
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] cucumbers:
I've generally found any FB-related apps to be complete disasters, and best used only on phones with tons of RAM (at least 2GB) and new CPUs. I've uninstalled the main FB app itself and just gone to using the mobile website on at least 2 different phones now. That said... 51 C for your CPU is pretty high! Are you using the stock CM11 kernel? And what are your CPU governor and RAM management settings? It might help to tweak those a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] emaayan:
are you kidding me?

you kidding me, here's how is one of my batteries looked like... a little bloated don't you think?

yes i'm using the stock kernel with ondemand govener and alllow purging of assets and kernel samepage merging
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] cucumbers:
Ok, that's really not good... and a bit odd, you certainly shouldn't get overheating like that with the ondemand governor, unless it's implemented wrong. I'm guesing it's some other app, or maybe even the battery. but you'd have to do some testing to find out.

I'm not getting any unusual overheating (mainly only when I charge the phone or play some games) but I have to admit I'm using the old REV3NT3CH KK custom kernel over the latest nightly, even though it's quite old, and I'm using the smartmax governor (because I know for sure it goes into deep sleep). And I greenify a lot of stuff. So it's hard to compare your setup and mine.

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 PM ----------

BTW that looks like a non-Samsung battery, is it a 3rd party replacement?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] ssnsltd:
subscribed. donating. on CM11 nightly now.

t699 is my daily driver. i have to have physical keyboard, nerve and over damage gift from military life makes virtual keyboard almost impossible for me to use.

thanks for trying!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
Holy Crap!!! Thanks alot dude... Very appreciated. And yea so far me and tdm both aren't fully done with the device yet...I love my relay and tbh is the only Samsung I have a lot of respect for. Its treated me good for how long I've had it. So it deserves all the live it can get.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] ssnsltd:
no worry, appreciate that someone is trying to keep the phone moving forward. Long time lurker on the site. have used several ROMs for different phones over the years. HTC desire z/G2 was my favorite before the t699.

I noticed in CM11 nightly ###11.0.0 M11 they "re-introduced Samsung Galaxy Relay 4G (apexqtmo) support" Which i suppose is a good thing. but would be nice to jump to MM.

BTW, I found this thread after i found this page and several daze of frustration:

android-4xda.net/tutorial/upgrade-update-samsung-galaxy-s-relay-4g-t699

which as best i can tell is just a scam to bet idiots like me to click the links since no method i tried ended with a download of the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
It is with great pleasure to announce that TDM and I have done a great job as a team to get 5.1.1 going great on the really so far...theres a few very small hiccups that shouldnt take much to fix but all the issues shown before on 5.0...especially the ones on this very rom are now gone....its smooth as butter and battery doesnt die quickly at all. Marshmallow is on the horizon....expect some greatness in the near future
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] taiber2000:

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] chuckiev79:
I'm scared to even flash anything even when this is ready. I haven't flashed anything in ages. I'm afraid I'll mess something up. I guess i have a backup but there's a new recovery as well right?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Mattzees:
It would be great to have Marshmallow on this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Ratias:
I tested this os, which is more slow than NIGHTLY CM11.

Working is not perfect, Because a general keyboard and media app are stopping error. The error is solved to replace another app.

But because The phone is not enough memory or not optimization, It is slow and sometimes shutdown game app.

Finally, I rollback NIGHTLY CM11.

On a side note though, I am hated skeletons when turning on or turning off a phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] emaayan:
i'm guessing Marshmallow is still cooking..

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] emaayan:
i might be wrong, i've lost track of all the candybars..
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] NativeCain:
I was coming here to recommend a seperate thread for the (still?) up coming Marshmallow ROM, to avoid confusion with those discussing Validus(which is Lollipop).

It would be nice to see in a first post how far their hard work has gotten them and what else needs to be worked on.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Be Jammin:
So how's this coming along?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] phred14:
Please consider this curiosity, not criticism or "HURRY!"

A bit over a year back, as nardholio stepped down, I installed all of the stuff and even managed to get an image built, though I never tried to boot it. By the time I got there, someone (tdm?) had stepped up to build nightlies. I'll be honest, I had very little idea of what I was doing - I was following instructions, along with a bit of intuition because I do some programming in the Linux space.

So here is the question: Obviously Validus is taking a long time for you to bring out. I follow it to some extent, and see that you've been making progress, but there seem to be quite a few rough bits to iron out.

Is this because Validus isn't quite the same as Cyanogenmod, and the problems are caused by the differences?

Is this because simply bringing Cyanogenmod to another architecture has that many problems?

- Is that because the underlying firmware / drivers / etc aren't well enough defined, or are there different levels?

I don't like running stale software, and want to see the Relay stay viable, and hope to be able to step up for some part of it. (At this point I think I'd prefer vanilla Cyanogenmod, but I'm open to discussion.)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
I've stated I'd no longer be doing valid us that it would be my own rom....each one has their own source for the code...from rom, device and kernel we all differ....cm's code especially for the relay is a very ugly mess that me and tdm have had to go back and fix alot on...part of the reason I've stopped working on it the last month was because of a divorce and a move...I'll pick back up on it and contact tdm again in the near future...just have alot going on in personal life. Me and him though are the only real ones making all the device side stuff try to work on mm...which we've had booting builds with some issues like camera or wifi not working...it's getting there

Edit: as for your last question....it's all the device side stuff....me and him have been doing all the testing on CM for the rom but our own shared code for the device
