[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyprusx:
I was wondering if anyone knows how much the manufacturing cost of the S3 is?

Do you think it costs more than the 4s to make, it was reported that the 4s cost about $188 to make about a year ago, prob cost less now.

How much do you think it costs to make the S3

The strange thing is that it prob costs more to make the s3 but it costs the same as the 4s id thought it be more expensive seeing it has newer parts
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dasistsparta:
Probably the same or less since they make them in those super cheap labor countries.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_Random:
Can't be much of a difference...

Just read today that kindle fire cost 190, the nexus 7 around 170

U say iphone is 188

So I guess the s3 will be somewhere around that as well
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Costs will be lower for Samsung seen as they use mostly Samsung products within this phone
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Note that these values are only estimates, not real production costs.

Some company is taking the phone apart and tries to guess the bulk-order value of each component, then sums up the value and adds an, also estimated, price for construction.

Quality assurance, defective units, device testing, most of the shipping & handling and transport for the source parts are usually not included. Sometimes not even the building the phone is manufactured in...

Also the whole time-consuming and expensive development and testing are not included, as neither aren't IP patents which make up a good chunk of a phone's cost.

If one phone is estimated at 170$/unit, another at 180$/unit, the first can well be a lot more expensive in actual production.

These guessed values ('estimate' is too nice a word) are known to differ from the actual cost by multiple magnitudes.

Hi All

I recently installed clockwork mod and minisense v4, but i would like to return to a rom that is either stock or as close to stock as possible?

How would i go about doing this?

or just flash stock firmware from sammobile, but use odin, it won't work with cwm. there's tutorial floating around somewhere :)

[HTC ChaCha] androidfanboi:
anyone else noticed you cannot unlock with this tool if your on the 3 network?

even though there is a download for the 3 network under H3GUK.

I know the reason why too, when the RUU is doing its thing preparing all the files to flash to your phone there is a ROM.zip which contains the illusive unlockable HBOOT.

there is a file in there too called android-info.txt which lists all the CIDs that are allowed to flash this hboot,

modelid:PH0611000

cidnum:VODAP***

cidnum:VIRGI001

cidnum:HTC__***

cidnum:T-MOB005

cidnum:TIM__401

cidnum:ORANG***

cidnum:O2___001

cidnum:HTCCN701

mainver:1.57.0.0

hbootpreupdate:0

thanks to HTCs incompetence they havent added

cidnum:H3G__***

so we cannot flash it basically, i have tried manually changing it without extracting the file but for some reason in winrar in says the archive is corrupt and wont let me save changes, i will try winzip or other software and report back but i have emailed HTC plenty of times who are completely rubbish at customer care and just get passed from pillar to post getting asked the same old crap every time

Device Model *

Serial Number *

IMEI *

Build number *

Android Version *

Baseband Version *

HTC Sense Version *

Current network provider *

and get absolutely nowhere....THANKS HTC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So if we can badger htc enough or i actually manage to edit this file or anyone else can successfully let us know, i have attached the rom.zip for you all to try
[HTC ChaCha] ethancottier:
I have a Chacha on 3UK, and my CID is H3Gsomat The issue I had tho, was that the software version of my Chacha wasn't up to date enough for the RUU to work. (3's fault for not giving us an update) So what I did, was I downloaded a RUU for the asian version of chacha stock rom, that worked. (it was still in english, despite it being an asian rom). Then I ran the RUU of the htcdev website, and all was groovy :D

I wouldn't advise keeping the asian rom tho.. your play store is in dollars, and when you go to flash cyanogenmod or another custom rom, your GPS stops working and you have to flash an european stock rom (with a radio included) to fix the GPS :)

[General Questions and Answers] chribonn:
Hi,

After months of near perfect operation (HTC Desire running LeeDroid 3.0.8.2) my phone's SD card (Kingston 16GB Class 10) card all of a sudden became read only.

This had happened a couple of times in the past and after a chkdsk run the corrected file entries are fixed and the card is back to normal.

This time round even though there where a couple of fixes the rooted phone would not boot.

Since I had a ClockworkMod backup form a few days before I tried a restore. The restore process would start running, but then stop with an error that it was unable to format the sd-ext partition.

After a number of trials (and products) I used the gParted live CD to repartition the SD card. Even though gParted reports that is has correctly created the Ext3 partition when it refreshes it does not recognise the partition.

(https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/5yRjrW6GS6PIXuQkls6XjtMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink) and (https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/5yRjrW6GS6PIXuQkls6XjtMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink).

Is this normal and how can I determine if the card is dead?

Thank you in anticipation.
[General Questions and Answers] chribonn:
Update:

I loaded the card into MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition and within this program the card (formated by gParted) is determined correctly. A Surface test of this partition returns that it is OK (screen shot: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/cZ2ET1Oz_3Df2geaE3rcM9MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink),
[General Questions and Answers] chribonn:
I'm updating the progress of trying to restore the phone (without success).

The check of the Fat32 partition also returned no errors.

I now tried importing a prior backup. The photo at https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/__OUgtNbfs72dM_5L8ynztMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink (not clear) shows the progress of the restore.

The last two lines read as follows:

In build.prop there is the line for the notification sound.

ro.config.notification_sound=01_Sherbert.ogg

Why doesn't this change if I select another notification through 'sound'?

say Argon and it should change to Argon.ogg

Even if I change it in the build.prop and reboot it doesn't change when you go to 'sound'

Is this done somewhere else?

Running FJ's AOSP ROM if that makes a difference

Right there this second have found a RUU which worked and brought the DHD back to life as if it just came out the box.

However back to square one... no service it just OTA to 2.3.3, with a 3 sim it does'nt say limited service or anything and when going into settings abut phone etc the APN seems correct but nothing?? Wifi works.

Funny thing is if I put in a Vodafone sim which it was unlocked to use it shows blank at the APN settings page.

I will try the AAhk kit or whatever its called as I can actually get into the phone now.

[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
"Brut navigation" is a hack in Google Maps APK.

Obviously, you can't use the hack if you're installing a whole different, regular Google Maps APK. The hack isn't there, and there's nothing to use.

That looks like ICS; does your phone app work at that DPI? I always had issues with that when I increased the DPI.

[Droid Incredible General] 7he Messiah:
Nice, thanks, I guess I'll have to give it a go again.
[Droid Incredible General] tcberg2010:
175 works great..I went into launcher setting and changed homescreen to 5x5 instead of the default 4x4. Makes the screen seem much bigger then it is.
[Droid Incredible General] el6006:
I had to change it back to 200 cuz incoming calls crash my phone app although I was able to dial outgoing calls just fine. :(
[Droid Incredible General] 7he Messiah:
That's odd, because when I set it to 175, I couldn't even dial. I've never been able to pull off that kind of setting on anything other than ParanoidAndroid and not have phone app FCs.
[Droid Incredible General] [TSON]:
Go 160. 175 isn't an officially supported DPI for android
[Droid Incredible General] j13smiley:
how do you change the dpi?
[Droid Incredible General] withbloodskies:
By build prop or LCD density app.
[Droid Incredible General] 7he Messiah:
I tried 160 a bit earlier today and had the exact same issue with the phone app. I would be inclined to believe that it may be a matter of the phone app in our ROMs not supporting anything other than stock DPI without modification to the app itself.
[Droid Incredible General] el6006:
I'm comfortable with 200. Everything works so far.....also I change mine using ROM Tools. Its a slider. But you can use Root Explorer to change the build.prop file as well. Either way works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nitsson:
Can someone link to a guide dealing with restoring a Nexus? It's stuck at the Google logo. I can get into bootloader mode with power+volume down, but it's not reacting when trying to navigate with the volume buttons after that.

I got a little bit tired of waiting for official firmware on my Galaxy S2 (even if CM was fun) so I got a Nexus yesterday - great price these days. It was the 4.0.1 yakju version as I'm in Western Europe.Unlocked and rooted with Root Toolkit v1.4 after which I wanted to install 4.0.4 using this guide. Got as far as flashing system.img and then the above happened.

All I want is to get back to working stock so that I can flash 4.1. Have no data on the device so a factory reset is no problem.

Much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Just fastboot flash Nexus Factory Images if you have no problem with wiping your data. That's odd that your bootloader won't respond to volume buttons... I might say try reflashing the bootloader and recovery, but since your bootloader is acting up right now, I'd go to flashing the factory images first, and if that doesn't work, try reflashing just bootloader and a custom recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Have a look at posts 1 and 2 in the "flash" link in my sig.

BTW, volume down and power is not the bootloader. You need to press volume up and volume down and power.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nitsson:
Perfect, that guide worked. Installed 4.0.4 and then 4.1. The root guide does not work on 4.1 however, but I'll find another one. Many thanks.

Do you know if the current 4.1 image is gold by the way?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The file in post #2 of that thread should work for 4.1

Should be. If not, it should get an OTA update as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nitsson:
Nope, I follow it to the letter; CWM installs fine, as does Superuser, but I don't have root access after reboot. Any ideas are appreciated.

Perfect. Assuming the next Nexus is a nice step forward I hope to stay on this platform for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
just flash any custom rom via your recovery. youll boot up with root access.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nitsson:
Thanks, but the whole reason I got the Nexus was to get the pure Google experience, the latest updates, and to stop playing around with custom ROMs ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
stock, rooted, jellybean should be good for you then. bigxies jellybean rom in the development section should work out good for you. or you can try this flasable updated su https://www.box.com/shared/acb928d8edd41b91a6c9
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
That is because you didn't read what I posted above. You need to flash the file in post #2, not the one linked in post #1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
But bigxie's ROM is NOT stock...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
ok, technically it not, since JB isnt out yet. im using his original version 1, so its close to where stock would/should be. but, that is just a guess on my part since, again, there is no official stock jellybean. theres only the google i/o preview version :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
That's not really what I was trying to say: it is stock, but it's deodexed, which makes it not stock, and it won't be able to apply any future OTA updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
truth :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nitsson:
Flashed with CWM-SuperSU-v0.92-mod which worked like a charm. I now have both Superuser and SuperSU installed, with the latter taking precedence, but I guess that doesn't matter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
sweet, i thought it would. use root explorer to go to /system/app/ and delete the superuser app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nitsson:
Funny, but the superuser app is nowhere to be found in the list at /system/app/.
