either mount usb in cwm and copy that zip to your sdcard root or turn the phone off remove the micro sd use another phone or sdcard reader then copy that zip.

Flash the zip take the battery out put it back in boot to cwn wipe all then install the rom again should work

My apologies ahead of time if this topics been touch on already, but theres a hidden diagnostic mode on the sgs3. You go into the phone app and dial *#0*# and you'll get this cool diagnostic tool to help ensure you device is running normal. I've returned 2 sgs3's due to faulty sub key touch buttons and dead pixels using this and I just thought I'd share.

*update*

Just tried on cm 10 and Aokp and it doesnt work. Must be stock base.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tekknogenius:
Nice find! How'd you discover the dead pixels?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Illusion81:
There is a red blue green test where it shows solid colors so you can easily detect them. I hadn't noticed them before hand, so it definitely came in handy.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ingenious247:
Weird, but *#0*# does nothing on my phone
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Illusion81:
That is weird..?? *#0*# definitely opens it for me, you don't even have to hit call it automatically opens.

But I think I figured it out. I freeze a ton of functions I don't use/want running and I believe either "factory test" or "factory mode" is probably the enabler, both of which I have frozen.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Illusion81:
Touch option is pretty cool, it fills the screen with all these boxes and you follow them all around your screen with your finger to detect any non responsive areas of your screen. Dead zones you can say. My 1st s3 failed that test.

Guys, is it true that stock kernel and stock rom of DXLF1 baseband last 7 days with tweak?

and without deodexing?

is it ok that i will not deodexed my rom and it will have long battery life?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] anasdcool71:
No, not true.

Deodexing of an apk is mainly done to modify its source codes in smali language. Deodexing your system apps dosen't really increase battery life, but it does simplifies your system apps, so in a way you can say that it does. It's always better to deodex your stock rom.

HI, i accidentaly deleted all my pictures, my phone is not rooted, so how can i restore it?! Iv tryed via PC but they just dont see my phone....Im really need help with this one
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] darth5zaft:
Been there myself

But there isn't anything I can do about it.. If only the phone support MTP, Then it can be done by Pc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bajsmumsaren:
Initially I thought this was a problem with Google Play / Apollo, but I realize now that when I plug in my phone via USB, I can't see any of the many, many folders and files present on /sdcard that I could see previously.

If I copy a "new" mp3 onto my Galaxy Nexus, it's recognized just fine by both Google Play and Apollo. However, none of my old mp3s (or files, for that matter) are recognized. They were placed in /sdcard/Music, a folder that I cannot see when I plug in my phone, only from the file manager running on the phone. The issue persists if I move an "old" mp3 from my music folder out into the sdcard root, it's still not recognized. This makes me think this might be permission related, but the file manager says that all files are readable and writable.

I've tried running "fix permissions" in both ROM manager and the CWM recovery, but it makes no difference. Any idea what has happened, and how to fix it so that I can use all my old files again? :)

edit If it's any help, I just ran ls -al in a terminal emulator and I can't see any difference at all between folders I can and cannot see. Example: I can see /sdcard/media just fine, because I created that folder from Explorer in Windows. Music in that directory works. I cannot see /sdcard/music. Here's the permissions:

drwxrwxr-x root sdcard_rw 2012-09-18 media
drwxrwxr-x root sdcard_rw 2012-09-16 music

This is a bit confusing.

When I try pulling and pushing a file with adb like so:

adb pull file.tar
adb push file.tar file2.tar

I get

failed to copy 'file.tar' to 'file2.tar': Read-only file system

I've tried remounting /sdcard in root terminals both on the phone and via adb, but I get mount: Operation not permitted. I'm thinking this might be because /sdcard isn't the actual path but I've tried /storage/sdcard0 and /mnt/sdcard as well and I get the same error.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

(This question was also posted on android.stackexchange)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
adb push /sdcard/file2.tar

also, cm doesnt have root access enabled by default for adb.

/sdcard/ is already rw, otherwise apps couldnt place anything there. nor could we.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bajsmumsaren:
Didn't realize I needed an absolute path, thanks! I now managed to push the file, but it does not show up under the "Galaxy Nexus" unit in My Computer. It does show up when I do an ls in adb shell though. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
try disabling mtp on the device; or rebooting, if you want to stick with mtp. maybe it has to refresh file list?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bajsmumsaren:
Switching from MTP to PTP does nothing, the same files are shown ("new" files). I'd like to stress that if I take a picture for example, that pictures does show up both with MTP and PTP. New files work fine. It's the old files that I can see in the file explorer in the actual phone that just refuse to show up when I connect to my computer, and they are obviously also not recognized by apps in the phone (such as Apollo or Google Play).

I realize that I could work around this issue by just removing everything from my sd card and then putting it back, but I really want to figure out how this can even happen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
I'm no expert by far, but it sounds like when you changed ROM the"index"file for mtp isn't updates. Have you tried to run the media scanner?

Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bajsmumsaren:
If I've understood correctly, power cycling the device should trigger the media scanner. I just tried restarting, and it made no difference. (I've restarted the device several times since this problem occurred).

Opening the Gallery app still only shows me two pictures (I've taken two photos since the ROM flash), interestingly the thumbs are for other pictures lying around and after a while Gallery crashes. I use QuickPic more often though and that app behaves well, and shows all photos.

edit As a final resort, I tried doing a full wipe and reinstalling CM10 M1 completely, without restoring any settings or apps from any old installations. The issue still persists! Any files created with my now "old" CM10 installation no longer appear, even when they are moved within a folder where other "new" files are shown and working. This is starting to annoy me, but since this obviously is a bug in CM10 M1 I see no point in trying to spend time solving it, I'm just going to switch back to AOKP. Thank you for any answers and attempts at solving this.

edit2 Formatting /sdcard in CWM recovery fixed this, even though it might not be the most elegant solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fire n mage:
Have you seen this?http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30288268

Basically what it suggests is that you go to apps via settings, find the "Media Storage" app (it's a system app) Clear data/cache, then reboot. This was my problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
I was just reading this article:

http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/...he-midrange-samsung-galaxy-victory-oet-review

And think it's a complete waste of money and resources developing mid and lower range handsets. If I was the CEO of HTC, Moto, or Samsung, I would focus on only 1 (flagship) device in each size category.

It just makes sense on so many levels, economically and marketing wise especially.

For example, the current hottest phone for Samsung is the Galaxy S III, which commands the premium price of being the latest and greatest at $200. They can sell the SGSII for $100 and offer the SGS for free (all on contract of course).

Imagine all the engineers and financial resources they can allocate to flagship devices if they followed this model.

Samsung, Motorola, HTC, please dump all your existing mid and lower range lines of handsets.

Do yourselves and Android lovers a great service!

And lastly, please use the same name for each device for all the carriers. None of this one unique name for each carrier for the same device bullcrap!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
It would make sense only if they didn't make a profit on these phones that they push out but obviously they do so they will continue pushing out as many as possible. Luckily it seems Samsung is the only company left doing this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lowandbehold:
Apple actually has a patent on that business model.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sm0k3d 0uT:
Some people can't afford to pay flagship model prices.

More handsets with different ranges will appeal to more customers.

There is also those who don't need everything a top of the line phone has.

No way I am going to pay for the top of the line phone for my 12 year old son.

He doesn't need all the features, plus the fact that since he's a kid there is a greater chance of the phone meeting some kind of accident.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
Apple has a low end, mid range, and high end iPhone in the market (4 - free, 4S - $100, 5 - $200+). Even they couldn't ignore the low end of the market anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
This post demonstrates no business knowledge whatsoever. Like previously mentioned not everyone wants a flagship or even a smart phone. You need to cater to a wide range of users.

It's not about focusing all your resources on flagship models for a smaller group. They make a large profit on lower and mid range phones too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK007:
agreed, some buy the top end phones and figure there is no need for lower. It is kind of like when you hear "buy a BMW because there is no point to buying a lower quality car" Well what if they put even MORE R&D into it and now the phone was leagues better but cost $900 with a contract renewal? Its about making profit and producing what the market wants. one person once made a ton of money on a pet rock. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
Well, the point is this.

HTC, Moto, and Samsung can all take huge advantage of economies of scale when they only make flagship model phones. How many components can Samsung share between the Galaxy S I, II, III and soon to be out IV?

Apple is making PLENTY of profit ONLY selling to people who want smart phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
The idea behind this is that everyone gets a flagship phone. You might not have the latest generation of the flagship phone, but it's still a flagship phone from its time.

The Galaxy S I was a flag ship phone and Samsung can now offer it for $0 with contract.

The Galaxy S II was a flag ship phone and Samsung can now offer it for $99 with contract.

The Galaxy S III is the CURRENT flag ship phone and Samsung offers it for $199 with contract.

----------------------

When the Galaxy S IV comes out, just phase out the Galaxy S I and offer this:

The Galaxy S II was a flag ship phone and Samsung can now offer it for $0 with contract.

The Galaxy S III was a flag ship phone and Samsung can now offer it for $99 with contract.

The Galaxy S IV is the CURRENT flag ship phone and Samsung offers it for $199 with contract.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? I think it's the best business model out there! You can save more costs due to sharing some components across generations and everyone gets a flagship device. That alone does a lot for the perception of your brand. Apple doesn't make a crappy mid or low range phone, so their brand is never associated with cheapness. But, you can get an iphone 4 for cheap now, it's $0 with contract. It's also 3 generations behind...but that also means the parts inside it are cheaper to buy, because they too, are 3 generations behind.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to patent this business model!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Turb0wned:
Yup this I think, is what needs to happen. Way to may phones coming out every year. It would also help with updates. Cheap phones is what gives android a bad name. After someone buys a cheap crap phone then tries an iphone they always end up switching.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnchad14:
Well, your logic in saying they would save money by mass producing more of just one or fewer models is only partly true. Surely there's some benefit, but as large portions of the guts of these budget phones are just last year's processors and chips...what you're saying is already partly happening. I agree it is quite annoying and confusing to bother rereleasing slightly modified versions of previous models as budget phones, but I'm not sure that they truly would save much in terms of production from simplifying their lineups. There may be a certain logic to the rebranding as many average people don't realize they're buying old tech if it's just released, and look, cheaper!

The real benefits of condensing the amount of models is probably just to gain more notoriety for making one good phone, which I guess really is copying the Apple model. Only one laptop, one phone, yadda...which is kinda boring to me. Thus my preference would be to keep some variety out there, but if they are going to release more devices, add more actual variety, not just useless rebranded old models.

EDIT: Additional complaint...I really hate it when people worry about the extra 100 dollars up front for a phone that costs such a ginormous amount of money on contract
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
If you read my OP, I said they should release one flagship phone for each size segment. But for smaller players, like LG, just make one phone. Bigger players, like HTC, Samsung, Motorola....they can make a 4" phone, 5" phone and 4" phone with keyboard.

They all aren't going to make the exact same size 4" or 5" phones. Just look at all the models in the 4.x" range. You still will have the diversity of Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
You are 100% correct!!!

We should post on Moto, HTC and Samsung's Facebook pages and let them know what we want!

Apple will not have a chance in hell if each company only focused on one kickass, flagship device. Imagine the HUGE benefit to consumer as well!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jase33:
The only problem I see is when your making only one phone or just a few phones and Apple gets them banned your SOL on all sales until its sorted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AshtonTS:
In theory, this is a good idea. However, android technology evolves way too fast for this to work. It's possible to get a GS2 for free on contract and a GS3 for like $50 if you look hard enough. If you're really good, you can get really any phone (besides an iPhone) free on contract
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fire n mage:
People want different things though, i for one think 4.8 inches it's too large, and personally, if they fit some nice specs in a keyboard phone with unlockable bootloader AND removable battery, I'd be all over it. I like the options, and I'm sure many others enjoy having a choice as well.

And keyboard phones don't sell like they use to so they're no longer flagship phones, even the Droid series is dissolving.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thebobp:
Only if they happened to have designed the perfect budget phone 2 years ago, no changes necessary (or, in the case of apple, if your consumers don't care and would just buy anyway). Reading your example, this new phone was designed precisely because they were able to add newer, better components while still keeping it a budget phone.

Now, your strategy might make sense for some (say, if your company can't afford to spend the money, HTC style) but I doubt you'd convince someone like samsung, whose business model is based on one-upping their opponents in all areas, to do so. As Ashton suggested, Android (unlike the iPhone) is driven too hard by competition, so that the vendors are forced to evolve even their budget lines.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
So, none of the antagonizing arguments make sense.

If Android vendors are under more competition, then it makes MORE sense to adopt this business model.

It's no wonder Jelly Bean web penetration is only at 1.2% a full two months after its release. Look at the staggering amount of handsets that have to be upgraded. Even the SGS3, a flagship phone, isn't getting JB until October. But, the Nexus S has it already...because Google only makes one model. Say Samsung cut down to only producing the GS and Note series phones and just used the previous gen models to sell as "budget" phones. It would be so much easier to do software upgrades for their customers (which is what everyone wants...check their FB page, number one question is...when is my phone going to get the next update?).

Also, the whole argument about diversity has already addressed. HTC, Moto and Samsung all aren't going to make the same size phones. That's not to mention the smaller players like Sony, LG, etc. They'll all stake a claim somewhere in the 4"-5" range. HTC and Samsung will also stake claims in the 5"+ territory.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
That sounds counter intuitive. If Android tech evolves really fast, then that's actually all the more reason to adopt this model. The budget phone segment will get a new "update" every 9mos or whatever the cycle is at now that new flagship versions are being released. Samsung and others can allocate more engineers to work on just two models and get software updates out faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thebobp:
Software upgrades don't evolve the hardware (which is what they've been doing in your OP's link, for example).

There's also the issue that those who purchase cheap phones are often the ones who care least about software updates. Thus, in their calculation, it seems to be more effective just to make the new model.

I've never made a single claim about "diversity", so you might want to reread. All I did say is that Android is so competitive, the manufacturers are forced to upgrade the specs of even their budget phones - because if they didn't, they'd be left behind, so to speak.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
The majority of people don't buy phones for software updates, or don't even know/care what version they are on.

why is a phone mnufacturer going to do something like this to keep a very small segment of the market (i.e.- us) happy while cutting their profits substantially?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
This topic is retarded. It completely ignores unlocked phones and only talks about subsidized thus propagating the fact that many people think the premium phones are $200. This is why american cell carriers have so much control. But I would agree if the carriers slimmed down their phone portfolio to less than 5 phones a year. It helps brand recognition and makes shopping within a brand or amongst different phone brands easier for the consumer. It would also streamline the development and engineering side and make updating handsets easier. And the orm's could use some of the excess from slimming down to make compelling apps for their handsets, thus possibly helping brand loyalty and repeat customers when they know their favorite OEM supports the handset itself and is willing to make the consumers choice a much better value when the OEM creates apps that may not be had on a competing OEM handset.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ntorresla:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] armorized:
I've wondered this for a long time. Branding means everything. For general "average Joe" consumers and not "fanboys" (aka the info addicts most of us here are). Stick to 3 or 4 device names.

One high end touch only 1 high end with physical keyboard. 1 mid range and 1 low spec/cheap. All done how Samsung has been doing it, keeping one name. Not even just one name maybe 2, or 3 and just stick with the names. Its confusing for general consumers and its easier if they know what to expect from the name.

Personally, this just seems like basic marketing. The previous model of throw s### at the wall and see what sticks doesn't cut it. Not many people want to spend the time researching phone specs in the store or at home to see what is best or what they want.

Plus it will eliminate the clutter of 30+ sections here and other android forums and make developing simpler. XD.

@rbiter, not really saying the cell providers. Saying the manufacturers. Then again, I think all phones should be unlocked and usable internationally.
