I am not able to send files (e.g. mp3, jpg, ...) via bluetooth from my HTC Diamand 2 to the Sensation. The D2 tells me always, that he has no write permissions on the Sensation. Can anyone confirm this issure?
I havent tried from phone to phone yet, but i have no problems with sending files from pc to phone with bluetooth.
solved - file transfer with Total Commander works perfect. Thanks
you might wanna look at this as well

Having the same problem. Can send files to but cannot revieve them from any phone on the sensation. Error message states that it is forbidden by the target device. Have found no workaround.

Hmmm...weird, I have been able to connect, pair and transfer from an old Samsung Impression as well as a Sidekick 4G without issue. Are you able to see, and pair with the phones that you are having trouble with? If you are able to pair (ie confirm that the codes are the same on both phones) do you get the prompt to "Accept or Decline" the file transfer in the status bar of the Sensation?
Using ES File Explorer, I've been able to send and receive files (MP3s) via BT with an older Nokia touchscreen without issues.

Yeah that's the thing, I verified the security code and accepted the incoming file and then I got a notification saying that the file was downloading, but when I pull down the notif bar it reads 0 successful, 1 failed. Failure because transfer is forbidden on target device. Incidentally, bump isn't working either. I'd like to try other apps but I'm trying to transfer an .apk.
Do you have the "unknown sources" box checked under settings>>applications?
Is this the only apk you've tried to do this with? Or just the only apk that doesn't cooperate?
Have you tried uploading the apk to a website and downloading it via internet?

Is there a way to actualy send app from one phone to another...
EX. me having a g1 sending a app to a htc touch pro 2
is there actualy a way to do that or none at all.....
you could send a .cab file via bluetooth...
Use File Explorer to navigate to the file you want to send. Click and hold until the menu appears. Click 'Beam File...'
Align the infrared ports and it will send it straight over.
If you have a Bluetooth partnership with a device in range it will also appear in this window after a few seconds, allowing you to 'Beam' via Bluetooth.
Reply to the accept message on the target machine and it will receive it.
It will probably just get dumped in the root directory of the target device. Move it to where you need it.
I can receive, but not send sms. After an hour on the phone with att tech support, she [thinks that she] figured out the problem.
I need to set in a "message center" number (it currently says "not set".) The problem is that for some reason it is greyed out on my phone. She didn't know how to get past that.
Samsung was of no help either.
I am using a vibrant on 2.1 unlocked (tmobile phone on att.)
Messaging -> settings -> message center
I bet someone on here knows how to ungray it!

I spent a couple more hours on the phone today. Called samsung again. They had me do a hard reset without the sim card. That didn't work. They told me to contact tmobile, since it is their software. Tmobile couldn't do anything, but told me to have att do an over the air update to the message center number. Att tried to do that but said they couldn't because it isn't an att phone with their software on it.
There must be a way to do this on a root level. I'm just not sure where to look, or what to change. Some one must know
Fix for you
Ok I figured this one out...
You do have to be rooted for this to work, and you also have to have an XML editor (I DO NOT recommed Notepad as it may alter formatting in a way that breaks the file alltogether. Tested and verified using Visual Studio as the editor)
Using Root Explorer or whatever is your preferred way to browse the phone, browse to the file:
/dbdata/databases/com.android.mms/shared_prefs/com.android.mms_preferences.xml
Then copy it to /sdcard so you can see it from your PC to edit
Find the key named "pref_key_manage_smsc_address" (at the bottom)
Change it from Not Set to 12063130004 (That's for T-mobile, or whatever is correct for your provider)
Then copy it back!!
I strongly recommend keeping a "known working" copy of the file in case your editor messes up the formatting.
I did not have to reboot or anything after this process, the number showed up in the (still greyed out) Message Center but text sending is working again for me!!!!
Wow thanks for the fix. It worked! I was able to do it all on my phone using:
'Root Explorer' to find and copy the file
'SilverEdit' to edit the xml to enter the message center number ( att +13123149810 )
Dang! I put it into flight mode, and when it came out, it reverted back to"not set."
I did find a perminent fix though. I walked into the nearest att store and asked for a new sim card. It turns out to be a sim card problem.
That fix does work though as a temporary problem solver.
*Another Fix
Hey everyone, I was experiencing the same problem with the grayed out Message Center.
What I did was actually go to:
Messaging -> Settings -> Restore default settings
Then the Message Center was no longer grayed. I went in and entered
+16135009000
I then actually had to change the phone numbers by adding a +1 in front of each before I was able to send out a text message again.
Hope that helps.
Is the message center only on stock rom? cuz im on axura latest rom and i cna't find message center in the settings in messaging. Also I can't find the xml file using file manager as well. I was sending txt find when i unlock and used it on att for a day and then my friend delete my apn username so that it "block my data" so i can't used data. Turns out i can't send txt after that. I also restore it to default apn and it not sending my txt. I can received txt though. I switch to my SE w580i and i can get/send txt again. if you got any answer for the vibrant, i would appreciated.
Finally i got it . after all the frustrations and such. Apparently. you HAVE to use root explorer. all other file manager can't access beyond dbdata.
I just received the Galaxy S 4g today, and had this same problem, sent 1.5 hrs on the phone with T-mobile, they told me i had bad phone and they would send me another, i told them i would try some things and call back later, I finally found this post and it worked perfectly for me, except for my phone the path was different, /data/data/com.android.mms/shared_prefs/com.andriod.mms_preferences.xml
edit it with "Blue fish editor" for Linux
Thanks again

I was in same situation.. S7 edge freedom mobile. Able to recieve sms but not able to send.
Solution : install this app (sms fail fix) by Andrea.
Open it. (no need to do anything)
Restart phone.
That's it.
Now try sending.
Mine got fixed.
So I successfully rooted my phone and somewhere along the way, I managed to erase the contents of the "Verizon Mobile" fake CD drive that pops up in Windows. This would generally be a good thing, until I realized that this is where the driver that allows you to use "Internet Connection Mode" as provided by the HTC Connect To PC application. Thankfully, PatsThunderbolt in the chat sent me the contents, and after some poking around I figured out you just need the drivers, in particular htcusbnet.sys. I've zipped up and attached the files here.
To use, select Internet Connection Mode in the Connect to PC app (or from the notification bar), then you'll see there is an unrecognized device in Device Manager called "High Tech Corp" (or computer, I forget). Either run Verizon Mobile(Z/drv/WModem_Driver_Installer_v2.19.0.0.exe or unzip the attached file and browse manually for a driver into the folder for your version of Windows and you're all set! Free wired tethering, I don't think root is required.
Benefits are it's free (compared to PdaNet, etc), lower latency times (45ms vs 70-130 I had been getting), and won't require the mobile hotspot plan after May 15th.
The downside is it disables data on the phone itself

Sure it's the best way, but they'll charge you for tethering and automatically switch you to 2GB tier from your unlimited. That's something they can see on their end instantly.

Do you remember what you did to erase it? It drives me crazy and I can't think of a single reason to keep it?
easytether from the market is the way to go!

Is there any evidence they could see it on their end instantly? Your computer is just using the phone as a modem, not being intercepted by a custom Verizon app
what about the dun settings hack that worked on the inc? could it work on the bolt too? would they still know about tethering?

If you delete the file in /system/etc called CDROM.iso or something that will disable it.

I'd like to know this, too. The service associate at my local VZW store said that wired tethering doesn't fall under the data cap, but I'd like to be sure before I rake up a $600 bill.
Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone else has this issue :
When I want to change the default notification sounds ...I select what I want ...apply it but it won't change it... it selects but it still uses the original sound... I am using the stock e-mail client and using the manual settings for POP mail !
While I'm at it ...when I try to connect the phone to my home computer to mount it as a disk drive it keeps coming up with error messages I have the new version of HTC Sync downloaded....the funny part is I can connect my old EVO phone to my computer and no problems and all my other USB devices work but the 4G won't ....when I connect the 4G to my laptop it works fine and I can mount it as a disk drive... any ideas on this would be appreciated !!!!
Thanks in advance,
Gary
Same problem witn notification sounds on Evo LTE
Having the same issues with changing the notification sounds for text messages. It keeps playing the original sound. Also, cannot connect to my computer. Says a message about invalid drivers even tough i tried searching for new ones. Any ideas?
figured it out!
Found out how to change it. Go to settings. Then select, "Personalize". There you can change the sound. Seems a strange place to put it, but it works!

Searched and found a thread from 2013, wow. Anyone know how to transfer apk, cant gmail either, appears that the powers that be were able to figure out our secret (renaming) and send all kimds of security patches! LOL
You found a thread from 2013 and here you are getting a reply 7 months later .
I transfer apks a lot with Bluetooth. I use Mixsplorer, go to the APK section, or find it in your files, long click then a share button pops up, choose Bluetooth from the list, then the Bluetooth menu comes up then select the device you are sending it to
I transfer apks all the time to/from flash drive and PC via c port. Stock 10+ Pie.
