Try emailing the apks to yourself. That's what I do and it works well.

Even easier if you have the Dropbox app on both devices.

If you want to use bluetooth, below is one way of doing it:
- install ES File Manager ("ESFM") on both devices
- Enable Bluetooth on both and pair the devices
- Start ESFM (both devices) Menu -> Settings -> Layout Settings and make sure that "Remove Bluetooth" is unchecked. (By default it is checked).
- Go to the Bluetooth Tab in ESFM on the device you want to transfer the files TO**
You should see the other ("FROM") device.
(Multi-) Select, Copy (in the Bluetooth Tab in ESFM), then switch to the Local tab & Paste.
** I think you will see a brief Toast notification that ESFM has started a server process of some sort; can't remember if it happens on both devices. In principle this is symmetric, so you should be able to transfer files in either direction.
cheers

Make a backup, email it to yourself, restore backup. This is done with titanium backup if you have root

Send file over Bluetooth or otherwise...?

I'm trying to send apk files over Bluetooth to my wife's G2 but it hasn't worked. Any advice?

Transfer
I use the app bluetooth file transfer, it is available on the market. I used it last night to transfer files and it worked flawlessly.

I keep getting an error that says that I some service doesn't work with the phone and that I can only upload. When I upload, it doesn't work. Perhaps the G2 doesn't support Bluetooth file transfers. Is that possible?
Do you need it installed on both devices?

Yes you have to install the app on both devices. I am not familiar with the G2 as I use it with D1 and the A500. From what I remember reading a while back the android BT is lacking on some of the stack that allows for file transfers. This app fixes it.

Oh okay, good. I'll give that a try. Thanks!

Just to let you know I am able to transfer files from the a500 to my Samsung galaxy and vice versa using the stock bluetooth on both devices. On the a500 I used file manager hd and selected share via bluetooth. Once they both connect the files transfer without any problems.
I think default android bluetooth filetransfer only allows certain types of files, like .jpg's and some other media.
Not 100% sure though, but I never managed to send files like apk's.
Bluetooth File Transfer worked perfectly and is actually a pretty cool app! Thanks!
Dropbox works too. I use it across my phone, tablet, and computer.

I use the bluetooth add-on for astro, no problems getting stuff to or from my DZ, which is the same hardware as the g2.

Data log?!

Does Gingerbread 2.3.4 on the nexus have a data log at all? If yes, where is it? And if not, which is a good one to download?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Try aLogCat from the market. It lets you see the application and event logs if that's what you're after
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Thank you mindwalkr. Can you please confirm that there is no native data logger. I find it amazing.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
I'm not an expert in Android yet but I think there's no native (as in bundled with the phone) software to see the logs. However with the Google SDK and using ADB via USB you can see them. This aLogCat and other similar software allows you to see the logs from the phone itself which makes it obvious that the logs are there, but you can't see them with a stock Gingerbread. Maybe with a file explorer you can get access to them as well but again you have to download a file explorer from the market so yeah... no native way to check the logs without having the phone connected to a PC.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong

Touchwiz AppSorter from the Market does this for you. But you have to be rooted
Thank you for the hint ... will asap look in the market for it
You can also "Clear data" of TwLauncher in manage applications in settings
but it will also reset your home screens to default
Superb thats done trick kudos to you

Even quicker:
When in application view. Press the menu key and select list view.
Problem sorted with no messing?

Returning to Default Setting for Notfication Selection

On my wife's GS4, when attempting to change the notification sounds for the first time, I am prompted with Always or Once and ES File Explorer or Media as options. Well, I chose Always but inadvertently fat fingered and hit ES File Explorer instead of Media. Now, there are no sound/notification options listed to choice from and I can't figure out how to return this setting to the default so I can re-select Media. Can anyone tell me if there is an easy way to reset to default for this setting without having to do a factory reset on the phone?
TIA
I think if you go into your applications manager and find es file Explorer, you should have an option towards the bottom to clear defaults and then the media option should be back.
