A family member has the Galaxy S3 and it is completely stock, non rooted and so on, and i know the phone does not need to be rooted to install apk files.
The problem is that i have copied over the apk file that i want onto his S3 but his phone, no matter what file explorer you use, just will not see the apk files at all, the fines worked fine on my Sensation and DHD and One X, but i just can not get the phone to see the apk files,
any idea's on what is causing the phone to not see the files?
cheers

you sure they are named as .apk file and not .zip? you should be able to see the filename without the .apk in myfiles for example (myapp.apk will appear as myapp), you will also have to check allow install from unknown sources in the security menu in settings..
yes its named .apk
i have not changed anything about the apk files from installing them on my other phones as i said, the DHD and the Sensation are both rooted but my One X is not rooted and that was able to see the apk file and install it, i seriously have no idea on why the S3 is not seeing them at all and that is after searching online for info
also i have enabled the use on non-market applications to be installed, but that is no use if the phone cant see the .apk files to install it in the first place
How you transferred the file to GS3? Is the file visible when connected to PC?

I connected the S3 to the PC via the USB cable and transferred the apk that way to the SD Card, when the phone is connected to the PC i can see the apk

Are you using the builtin file manager?
If yes open it, press menu softkey, press settings, show hidden files.

getting my files to show hidden files did not work.
what it is that i'm trying to install a game, there is a data folder that has to be transferred onto the phone as well, it goes into the Android\obb folder on the sdcard, i created the folder and copied over the files into the folder, the phone.... using my files, astro or es explorer still will not see that folder i created for the files or the apk file itself that has to be installed for these files to be used.
also i tried it on a friends stock, non-rooted Galaxy S2 and it could see the files and it installed first time with no problems so right now i have no idea on what is going on with the Galaxy S3
Sorted, i know what it was, me being a tit....
when you open astro, it starts off in the SDcard folder... the samsung see's the built in memory as the SDcard.. to see the actual SDcard (the removable one lol) i have to select extSCcard..
Am i a tit or what lol
Cheers for the help anyway guys
much appreciated
Hello;
I am on my android tablet and I want to delete some heavy folder on my 1TB external hard.
I want to know what application could help me clean or delete some folder each one sizes about 3G.
I tried es explore and X-PLORER file manager but no luck.
The build in file manager in tablet also starts deleting and after an hour still shows the deleting icon.
Thanks ╮(╯_╰)╭

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum so flame away if I'm screwing up right off the bat...
I have a Sony Table S Model SGBT112US/S. I just did the latest Android OS update (4.0.0 (release5a)) and the remote app was completely removed. Calls and chats with Sony resulted in doing 2 factory resets, no dice. Does anyone have a DL file for the app? I tried Touchsquid as an alternative and it didn't work at all. Many thanks in advance.

Remote Control apk files from /vendor/app/ folder. Download irremote.zip from 4shared HERE. If you do not have a 4shared account, create one, it is free. The irremote.zip file contains irremote.apk, irremoteapiservice.apk, and irremoteservice.apk.
Thanks, but when I downloaded, unzipped(w/AndroZip) and installed it just freezes. Should I DL to my computer first then transfer via USB?
When I plugged it into my computer via USB I couldn't even find the /vendor/app/ folder, am I screwing something up?

Before I go into too much detail, tell me: Do you have root access on your tablet? Also, have you installed an app like ES File Manager or Root Explorer?
Yes, I have ES File Explorer.

I apologize for taking so long to get back with you. Truth be told, I forgot. Anyway...
The three apk files for the Remote Control app should be located the following directories.
/vendor/app/
/datapp/vendor/vendor0/app/
/datapp/vendor/vendor1/app/
Extract the files from irremote.zip, copy them into each directory, and reboot your tablet. After reboot, the Remote Control app should be installed.

No dice, it just says "file cannot be moved"

That is probably because the directories are mounted as r/o and ES File Explorer cannot get past that. So, instead of using ES File Explorer, use Root Explorer to first mount the directories as r/w (via button in upper left corner of Root Explorer's screen) and then copy the files to the directories. After copying the files to the directories, re-mount the directories as r/o (again via button in upper left corner of Root Explorer's screen).
Do you know where to put files for Xperia Tablet S, because i also want back the IR Remote Control, and do the same files work with XTS?
I don't have the same folder directories as Sony Tablet S
Thanks in advance!

If you have root access, find the apk, put it under /system/app directory, and give 655 permission then reboot.

Sony Tablet S IRRemote files
Hallo, I know I'm quite late with this thread, however I still need these 3 files
irremote.apk, irremoteapiservice.apk, and irremoteservice.apk
for recovering my infrared connection. I got a link from this thread, but it is not usable anymore.
Can somebody tell me where I can get them from ?
Thank you in advance !

Sony Tablet S IR control
All right,
I found all three files, put all of them in the right directories and restarted the tablet.
Result: operating the remote control app I have absolutely no signal coming out from the LED (flashing light checked with digital camera).
Am i missing some other files or signal code ??
Thanks, cheers

How do I install an apk from the sd card?
I have a rooted Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 with Android 4.1.1. I have copied GameGuardian_6.0.0.apk onto my sd card. I have downloaded and installed appInstaller but it doesn't see the file. It does see Amazon App Installer. I have checked that I can open the pictures on the SD card in the Gallery. When I poke at my SD card, it asks if I want to unmount it (I say no). I have also tried the method klacenas has posted about using the phones internet browser to load the file. No joy. I get the error "Connection problem".
Can you help me?
go to settings, security and tick the unknown sources box. then using a file explorer go to where you have the apk file and click it, should install then
okay
Yes, I do already have "Unknown Sources" checked.
Can you recommend a file explorer?

Hi all,
I have my Onda V972 for about a year now and it works great but since yesterday I cannot make new folders or copy other folders to my internal sdcard.
I was working with "Ofline Browser" and on a given moment he just stopped copying webpages and said "Cannot find .....".
I checked the r/w permissions with ES File Explorer and all is well.
I can make a new file or copy one to an existing folder but I cannot make new folders or subfolders.
Anyone knows how to fix this?

Yes, I tried several file managers.
I can make new folders on it from the PC.
Just to be clear: It is about my internal sdcard, my external sdcard works fine!

Yes I am sure, it just happened without a reason.
The stupid thing is that everything works fine but when an app tries to make a new folder or subfolder it says that it can't find the file.
Thats because he couldn't make the folder.
Strange huh?

I was considering this but I couldn't make a copy or backup from this disk so I would loose everything on it.
Finally after a few days trying I managed to connect to the PC and I simply repaired the disk from within Explorer.
All works well again now.
Thanks for the help and thinking.
