[Q] Downloaded a new ringtone and need help setting it up as a default ringtone

Trying to help a friend with his Droid. He downloaded a ringtone from the Verizon site and he is trying to set it up as his "RINGTONE". Can someone please walk me through this. Thanks much!

Assuming it's an ogg file. Push to system/media/audio I believe. And set it up as the ringtone. Should show up in list. It's rooted?

Not rooted. BTW, how do I PUSH it? Sorry...NOOB here on Androids.
Getting mine next week!

How was it downloaded? Push is an adb command for controlling your phone from your computer. Been rooted for a while. Sorry.

Bluetooth File transfer Problem. Help!!

I tried Sending a .apk file to my dell xc35 via bluetooth but it says "remote device rejected your request". But i can share songs and pics. What is the problem? Is there a solution to this?

Install "Bluetooth file transfer" on blade and then it accepts any file.

Maybe the android version is different and it doesn't support ur apk

Bluetooth connections only exchange data. So apks working on one will still get sent to the other as its only a file. Whether the other is able to open it or not is a different case. Try pairing first and then send.

I don't think so. My friend has a nexus s with official ics and when he tries to send me an apk it says on his phone that the receiving device does not support it

I was too having this problem but by using root explorer pro version it solved
But even then if the problem is not solved install a custom rom

Maybe because u were using root explorer. My friends phone is unrooted because "he's afraid of bricking it" . Lol. What a waste of a good phone

Seriously. I can't imagine what I would've tried with it.

@OP. If you don't have Root explorer or don't want to purchase it,try Explorer from SpeedSoftware. Its just a free version without root access.
Sent from my ZTE Blade using XDA app

or you can put it in a zip file and send it, or reboot your phone

try to use BTF from Medieval Software, it's free

I might be able to send files by root explorer but what about recieving?

try the above app I wrote.

you can download Bluetooth file transfer from google play

Maybe you need to tick the box under applications in settings that says 'unknown sources' to allow you to receive apps from sources other than the market, that may be what's causing the issue with the .apk transfer. Give that a shot!

I have also noticed that. Even with es explorer I am not able to send apk files. Work around which I use is to change the extension to .mp3 or anything which can be sent and change back to. Apk in receiver phone.

It works fine using Root Explorer.

I had problem sending apk file to my friend too. Doesn't work even if using Root explorer. I'm using nexus 4 while my friend is using galaxy nexus.

Create a Dropbox link?

It seems to be inbuilt limitation by Google, possibly to prevent malicious users to push malware onto other people's phones.

I installed Bluetooth transfer app and now it works well. Tried transferring apk from laptop to phone and it works fine.

Same problem here.
If I try to send an apk between a Galaxy Nexus (JB4.3) and a Nexus 7 (2012 JB4.3) the transfer fails. (es file explorer / apk share / root browser)
Seems that the bluetooth just blocks apk transfers. If I rename the file, it works.
Is a 4.3 security feature? I use to transfer apk before the 4.3.

I think it is a google limitation for prevent to share the pirate apps

Stopped by for a chat about 8 years later, yah rename worked back then during gba color and stuff now doesn't work
