Hello,
I'm looking for anyone with a rooted phone supported by Stick-N-Find who has one or more of the stickers. If you could, send me the Devices.xml file from /data/data/com.ssia.sticknfind/shared_prefs
I'm trying to get the app to work on a non-supported device, and I'm hoping I might be able to add the tags in manually, but I need the format.

So, went out and picked up a Mini Pro for the misses.
Well, off the bat I went crazy cause I couldn't find "Market" and well...after searching online, guess this damn region doesn't support the Market. How wonderful is that, so downloaded stuff online through slideme. Which really still sucks.
Then when I downloaded things to my laptop and wanted to bluetooth them over, I couldn't. Then when I wanted to send ringtones from my phone to the mini pro, I couldn't. So I searched, and wouldn't you know it. I gotta download a program, so I downloaded bluetooth explorer and then it prompted me that I gotta root this SOB to be able to send files through bluetooth? Did I just buy an iPhone or what?!
So I plugged in the phone through USB. And we copied over the APK. and I downloaded a file explorer, so I could get to the damn APK (really no file explorer included, or clearly apparent?). And when we launched the file (MSN), we found we couldn't send files, images, or anything other than text. Are you kidding me?
With all these limitations, how is Android so popular?
Are there any possible solutions without having to root this bastard? (aside from MSN). I just bought this thing and don't wanna void warranty so damn early so I could make it something PRACTICAL like every other phone.
I'm guessing you're used to nokia's and the like. I must say i've found bluetooth file transfer a little hit and miss on android, but you need an app called bluetooth file transfer but it's on the market i'm afraid. Where are you then? You can get the market app from these forums and an enabler for regions not supported so you may need to do some digging.

Not used to Nokia's. Used to WinMo and running Android Froyo on my Topaz.
Could not find the market standalone app for the life of me. And the phone is from Saudi Arabia, and I can't justify rooting it just yet.

Hi! I feel your pain. Android Marketplace is not supported in my part of the world too. I am looking for alternate ways to get apps into my phone.
You mentioned that you had to download a separate File Manager to get to the .apk files. Can you tell me which app you are using?
Also how did you manage to install the File Manager in the first place if you could not get to the .apk files?
Do you copy the .apk files to your MicroSD card? Do you any other advice to make installation easier if we download the Apps to our computer then then try to install them to our phone?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers and good luck with your new phone.
Appbrain App Market and Apktor are viable alternatives for getting apps on your phone, the latter you'll need to find public repositories for. Sorry can't post links cause of restrictions on a new account, but google knows all.

Hey, found
Code:
http://slideme.org/
which let me download with the barcode, and then I installed the sites app manager directly on there. There are a ton of file managers, I downloaded two, I forget which. But the two most popular ones. Both worked, but only one handled ZIP files. I don't have the phone beside me, so can't recall...
I found the Market standalone apk, but it crashed everytime I clicked on "Download" so I gave up on it.
I'm gonna try those suggestions posted up and see if they have a few new nice apps on there.
I had the exact same issue as others above. My solution was to use the debranded UK Firmware, root the phone and then use the Bluetooth File Manager.
bmazloum: My phone also came from the UAE side and didn't have the Market. I used Omnius to flash the firmware. A friend of mine on the otherhand paid the local Sony Service Centre to flash and debrand the ROM. Maybe this might help
Guys you don't have to move the apk file over to the phone in order to install it btw... get Adb from the Android SDK and then place the apk file in the same folder as adb.
And then from command prompt, navigate to the folder with adb and your apk and type "adb install example.apk".
Make sure you have USB Debugging (Applications -> Development) enabled and that's it.
Works nicely on a Mini. Not sure about the Pro to be honest.

Just got my tab 10.1 yesterday, rooted and installed overcomes ROM this morning. For the life of me I cannot copy over any MKV files as i want to put my files on the damned thing. I've had a quick search through and it seems most people can do it somehow its just no one has given a fool proof way of doing it as far as i can see (i know i will be wrong there)
I have tried to use recovery usb mount but that just doesn't work and every time i use the mtp is just crashes windows explorer.
Please can someone tell me there is a way i can get my files onto my tablet?
any help is greatly received

MTP crashes Explorer.exe? Thats really weird. Sounds like you have bad drivers. Uninstall and reinstall your Samsung drivers and try again.
Another option is to get the USB connector piece that allows you to connect and view the contents of a USB drive with a file manager app straight from the tablet.
One more option is Dropbox. Its a personal file sharing software that lets you see your files from any device with internet. Just drop the files from your computer into your dropbox folder and they will automatically upload online. You can then go to www.dropbox.com and sign in to see these files. Android devices have a Dropbox app, so you don't even have to open the browser, all your files are right there in a folder on your homescreen for you.
If you don't have a dropbox account, Click Here to Sign Up You get 2gigs of free storage space.
rename the extension .mkv to something else like .abc and it should work.

I should have said I renamed. The mkv in question was only 850mb and it crashes. However an mp4 of 1.4gb works fine. All be it it asks me to convert it first.
I'll try and remove the drivers and reinstall and see if that works when I finish work.
Hi. My SGA has the latest Official CyanogenMod nightly. I have Windows XP, a bluetooth dongle, and bluesoleil drivers.
I am able to send images and apk files from my pc to my phone. But when I try to send an epub file, or a 7z file, my pc says:
"Access is denied. Please make sure you have the proper right to access the files or folders."
So I tried to create a compressed file and instead of using 7z, I used .zip. And it was able to send it. So I'm positive that my phone has a list of allowed filetypes to be received. Is there any way to edit it? Thanks.
PS: I tried declining a file (that successfully went through), and it gave the same access denied error on my pc. So I believe that my phone is automatically denying certain filetypes. Thanks.
yeah i think so...i cant send apk file via bluetooth i think ace wont allowed it
sent from ACE TO ACE
Same problem
What I did was changed the extension of those files to .Mp3
This way I was able to send via bluetooth and then on phone change it back to original extension
Problem?
----------------
Did I send this :O
Well that's really a hassle to do. I'll just have to wait for a real solution.
Also, every time I receive a file it asks me to confirm it. Stock Gingerbread had a check box to always receive files [from a specific device] automatically. I can't seem to see that option here. Any thoughts? Thanks again.

Hi,
Maybe the title is not really accurate but I didn't know how to formulate my question.
I'm actually living in Japan and I bought a new phone (OnePlus One). Because I don't need my phone number, I froze my phone contract with my provider (Swisscom). So my phone number is not active anymore.
But What's app is still working on my old phone. But I can't install it on the new one because of the verification. I tried some of the "hacks" you can find online about spoofing my sms but it's not working because my phone number is not active anymore.
Do you have any solution that can help me install whats'app on my new phone?
I was wondering if it was possible to copy all the files from my previous phone on the new one (whats'app file of course) maybe there is a validation files somewhere which can be transfered. I don't know I'm out of ideas.
I'm trying to retrieve a couple .db files from an old phone of mine. I tried many root methods, both .apk roots and PC versions. It seems many others owners have also come to the conclusion that the phone is unrootable (but if anyone knows how, let me know). What other ways are there to get at those files? I know the specific filepaths of the .db files that I'm trying to retrieve. Assuming that I don't care about the condition of the phone afterwards, is there no way, including removing the hard drive, to get at the files?
For reference, the phone is a vivo X6D and the files I'm trying to get are from WeChat. My old WeChat account was created before they required a phone number, so I can't recover the account itself to get my messages, so I'd like to get at the EnMicroMsg.db file. Thanks for any help you guys are able to offer, it's much appreciated.
