[Q] Bluetooth Low Energy - Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G

Does anybody know if the Relay phone hardware supports Bluetooth 4.0, specifically Bluetooth Low Energy? If it does, that would be the feature that finally gets me to switch from the MyTouch 4G Slide...

With an appropriately modern version of Android on the Relay, yes it does. The CyanogenMod images support it. The Stock TouchWiz does not.

Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G has Bluetooth 4.0 LE. But Android doesn't support Bluetooth LE till Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. So the phone won't support Bluetooth LE, till Samsung updates the phone to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

It sounds like Cyanogen Mod does support Bluetooth 4.0, are the drivers we have for the phone able to handle it?

It's just been over twelve hours since Google announced Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and a signed copy of the OS has already been leaked online for the Galaxy Nexus.
The leaked ROM is for 'takju', that is, the GSM Galaxy Nexus variant that has Google Wallet support but also runs fine on 'yakju', that is the standard variant of the GSM Galaxy Nexus, without any issues.
If you have either of these devices, click on the source link below and download the ROM. As usual, make sure you know what you're doing. Otherwise, you can always wait till next month to get it officially on our Nexus device.

I think that's right as I remember reading about it on a mobile news site.
BTW Jelly Bean is just a minor update & I think CM devs could port it to most of the handsets which have a working CM 9, here's to hoping we get our CM ROM soon.

waiting eagerly for CM 9 (it's all in Epsylon's hand's) hope he will not disappoint us:fingers-crossed: .....
Jelly Bean just released yesterday night and already Galaxy Nexus and HTC one X are having Android 4.1 port, so by seeing this i think its very easy for CM developers to port it again it's in Epsylon hands only...

This is what i was looking for as i don't want to spend too much on an android tablet as windows version is around the corner as well (q4 i think). :laugh:
But do anyone know the price that is going to be set in the asian market (malaysia specifically as normally the dollar price (or MRP) is always cheaper than what the price hits here for gadget like these.

Does anyone know of a method that can stream videos of this device as i feel that it was on purpose to exclude it (just a speculation). Using wifi to stream (like the one that comes with samsung bloatwares)?
Mediashare, available on google play in both free and paid versions for streaming content over wifi

You can use AllShare too i.e. the Samsung bloatware you are talking about. It at least works without any issues.

~Updated Google Search user interface
~Google Now adds automatic information feeds to your device (weather, traffic, sports, etc)
~Bi-Directional text and additional language support
~Truly high-resolution contact photos
~USB audio output and HDMI multichannel audio output
~App encryption and Smart App updates

CM9 ICS video call

Hi all. Is it possible for ICS users do a umts 3g video call (not skype) like the original Samsung?(the red circle on pic) I tried to make a video call but suddenly, there is no option to do it. Not even in the settings. Is there anything I can do to enable it?
What I mean is not video chat that uses data plan but that uses carrier (charges according to time, like voice call). I don't want to waste my data plan on gtalk/skype.
Sent from my EHNDROIX-i9003
Native 3G video calling is not supported on AOSP / Stock Android. Samsung uses 3rd party proprietary libraries to support video calling in their ROMs. So if you want native 3G video calling, switch to official 2.3.6 GB ROMs.

just open your skype and check if the vedio call option enabled and call it ... better using the latest CM9 ... i already have a vedio call on skype with 3g network

I did search about it before and found that Galaxy Nexus didn't support this video call. I was shocked cuz this technology existed since decades ago but the latest android dont support it. But it was originally built in the galaxy sl, rite? Can we port it from the original rom anyhow? Can we use the phone.apk from samsung gingerbread to ics? Or can we use the telephony provider file or something that can be used?

Yup I agree when you say that the technology is a decade old.... but native umts video calling is not so popular in the USA and hence the concept itself is missing in stock android. However Galaxy S , SL , Tab etc. had this feature on stock Samsung ROMs. You can try using the phone.apk from GB ROMs , but I doubt that would work.

[Q] Wireless Peripherals and Gaming Controllers

I would like to know a few things about android peripherals:
I currently own a Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus and I'm about to buy a gaming controller for it.
​First question:
What's the difference between 2.4 Ghz Wireless Connection and Bluetooth? I mean, can you use a 2.4 Ghz PS3 Controller on Android, or no?
​2nd Question:
Is there any possible way of using a WiiMote Plus with this device? I know that Samsung changed the Bluetooth Stack Drivers, but I also saw a guy on YouTube connecting a WiiMote to Samsung Galaxy with no problem!

Like I said in my above post, Samsung replaced the stock andoid Bluetooth drivers in Touchwiz with their drivers!
For this reason the WiiController app and other similar ones do not work on it.

SGH-i497 bluetooth 4.0?

Does anyone know if the i497 ATT version of the Galaxy Tab 2 that is so similar in specs to the Galaxy SIII has Bluetooth 4.0 like the Galaxy SIII? If so, it might be worth trying again to get Cyanogenmod 11 working on it since there are many toys that require Bluetooth LE or Bluetooth 4.0 and Android 4.3 or 4.4 like the MIP or AnkiDrive.. I know that the Tegra2 version do not have Bluetooth 4.0 but the i497 has Qualcomm Snapdragon with Adreno 225 like the SIII.

Was this removed from Samsung phones? I only see android beam now.
Aww what, hopefully not. That's a good feature. Haven't gotten mine yet so can't check.
I guess it's just called android beam now because my my note 5 and note 3 beam files to each other without any issues

There was always android beam, but S Beam used to utilize WiFi direct which allowed me to transfer a movie of like 1.5 GB in 1 minute. I don't think android beam uses that.

Android Beam uses Bluetooth, which is painfully slow compared to S Beam which used WiFi-Direct. My s4 has S Beam, and it's an incredibly useful feature, especially considering how large photo and video files are getting now. I can't find where to enable S Beam on my Note 5 (Verizon) which is a huge disappointment, and the only problem I have with my new device. So Beam is orders of magnitude faster than Android Beam. All of the hardware is onboard, so I'm hoping it's an oversight that'll be fixed soon.
Wifi direct is present inside wifi menu near MORE button and works great. I guess they just dropped the name of S beam to avoid confusion with android beam.

Yup, no more s beam. Wifi direct gets the job done for large files or lots of pics though.
