Canot recieve or transfer any bluetooth ringtones on sprint lg rumor
Sprint did this intentionally. It was done in order to prevent trading copy righted material, to gain more money for sprint since you will have to buy their tones and what not. Also this was done to help prevent the spread of viruses. Your highspeed cellphone is more like a macro computer than you may think and they are succeptable to viruses as well. Do I think its trash, YES I DO. We should be able to use our phones as we choose, but this is what you have and why - Viruses and money......

I have myself a LG Rumor and I know the problem... What you need to do is go to menu/tools/bluetooth/settings/exchange FTP Folder/options/change exchange FTP folder/music...(PS you will need a micro SD memory chip to do this... Now once you have done that you can right click your .mp3 file and go to send to bluetooth.. search for your phone and it will send... then go to media player and you have your music... BUT I still havent figured out how to send it as a ringtone. sorry for the inconvenience..

Not many sprint phones let you transfer ringtones or ringtones through bluetooth, most only send contacts and other useless things.

Well i said no more buying ringtones from sprint,im not putting more of my money into that sucky company. So i found a website that you can upload songs to then send them to your phone. It will send you the link in a text which if you have internet ( i do) it works out perfectly & its free because your uploading your own music. You can also do this with pictures & make it your background. The website is www.myxertones.com Hope this helps :]

On Mac,
Spotlight search for "Bluetooth File Exchange" and then
Cmd-Shift-O will let you choose a device to browse
Then you'll be able to access your exchange folder (you can change that
on the phone under menu/settings/bluetooth/change exchange folder) and
take files in or out.
No idea how to do it on windows though

I'VE FIGURED IT OUT! If you have a mac, all you need to do is go into your settings > bluetooth>your computer> settings> Exchange FTPonce you've connected to ur phone, and change the Exchange FTP Folder to music, it's set naturally on pictures...and then....it works!

If you have Sprint, there is no way to bluetooth anything other than Calendar events or a phone entry. I was upset about this when I figured this out. I upload songs to http://rumkin.com/tools/sprint/ and send the ringtones to my phone.

This is very simple if u have a mac. when u have ur bluetooth turned on, on your computer and sprint phone or whatever phone carrier, the top tool bar near the clock and finder near the right top part of the computer screen will have a blue toth symbol set up your blutooth device and then go to browse device. and then click the send button and it will bring up files that u can send to your computer. then from your phone go into settings and make sure ur exchange is set to memory card,"u need a memory card for this" and it will pair up and you will find ur music in the media player on your phone as im typing this im sending songs so I know it works.

I hate this piece of ******** ******* phone. It will not let set my
music as my ring tones. The music isn't able to be sent through blue
tooth. I mean for real what **** is this? On top of that all, on my LG
Rumor they don't send Head Phones or USB cords with our phone. All they
know how to ******* send is a little booklet and they phone. Sometimes
with a charger that works here and there. Your lucky if you can even
get that ****.

If you have Vista do the steps mentioned ab ifve with the menu\settings\bluetooth\settings\change ftp folder and set it to media card. then go into my computer and drag and drop your music, movies, pics etc... into the rumor icon with the bluetooth icon on it. your set.

I cant transfer music or ringtones via bluetooth on the LG Rumor & can only transfer contacts & calender....!
HELP : /
Says every time device cant accept the file type
i cant figure it out
i can pair with people but i cant receive any
thing
i cant recieve bluetooth ringtones for my lg rumor. For a three humdred dollar phone i expected this basic function.
My lg rumor phone has a problem with the bluetooth i can't recieve ringtones or send them. What do i do to solve the problem?
help please i dont know how to transfer videos and ringtones from my phone to the computer
It looks like the only things I can bluetooth are contacts and calander events. I've called Sprint for help, and they are clueless. I've also tried to set up folders within my sd card, and that doesn't work either.
can bluetooth ringtones
i cant receive ringtones using bluetooth on my lg rumor
Yeah, I have that problem.
I've been having the same problem with my lg rumor.
it doesnt work
it says the file is invalid
i cannot send or recieve music through bluetooth or text messages from my lg rumor on the sprint network
this phone is pissin me off
My LG rumor will find other devices but it will not allow the other users to send any music via bluetooth
just simply ake ur ruor to mexico are any phone that doesnt want to run the blue toohth and they can make it worck for about 10 bucks or less they do something to the softwer that makes it work to send recive music vids and pics
cannot recieve music or pictures via bluetooth on the rumor it says it's an unsupported media type
I cannot receive bluetoothing on my sprint LG Rumor. It says that unsupported media type when my sister tries to send me music through her blue tooth. I also can't find away to send my music through bluetoothing. I have a LG Rumor not LG KG800 Cellular Phone.
Same issue - I can't receive ringtones after i'm paired, even though it asks if I want to accept a data transfer, then the source says that it has successfully transferred 100%. Really Annoying!
i have the LG RUMOR and i cannot send music through bluetooth from my mac (computer) or my old motorola slthr phone
I also can not send or recieve jpg's, mp3 files as it tells me the file type is not supported
Even if it transfers it, I can't find the file in my phone, but it shows that my memory card is full.
transfer data but can not connect for GPRS via bluetooth
laptop dell vostro 1700
music/picture can not be transfered
mines wont even find it i don't get its making me frustrated
it wont let people bluethooth to my phone
it keeps telling me "the target device claims it will not accept a file of the type you are trying to send." whenever i try to send a music file from my music folder from my mac.
i just got mine today, still trying to figure out how to put my music files on the phone from my powerbook g4......and get my pics onto my mac all through bluetooth
it's so frustrating. i hate the Rumor.
i'm getting me a new phone dammit.
Same as others, bluetooth no menus on my mac like my razr had, only with the memory card can I set music, I used to love to make my own ringtones out of my favorite songs, now I cant unless I pay a lot for stupid dollar ring tones or for internet to download
my frineds can not bluetooth me songs becuz the rumor is ***
GRR!!
I.
HATE.
SPRINT!
i want a new phone..i have the rumor and i have the same problem. :(
what in the world ii mean why cant ii do this man itz getting to me...........
Alright so I still have my LG Rumor from Sprint..I agree its a piece. I was on my second Romor (the first just tripped out one day, never dropped it) but that was after battling with Sprint to give me a new one. When I upgraded to the rumor I got it for the fact that it had BLUETOOTH and a qwerty keyboard. All you can do with bluetooth on the rumor is send contacts and calendar info, why the heck would I want to send either of those..."Oh hey Im sitting right next to you, I could just tell you my number but I think Ill bluetooth it to you instead" or how about "hey what are you doing tomorrow?" "hold on ill bluetooth it to you!" What were Sprint and LG thinking? Are they effin new? As far as ringtones you can get those for free on VENTONES.COM and dispite the fact the rumor sucks you can get some real useful apps on WAP.GETJAR.COM stuff like opera mini and mig33 ect. last time I looked there were at least 2,000 apps for the rumor. I got sick of sprint though and my fiance added me on her plan, Ive got a Motozine Zn5 now. Its a ton better than that rumor. If I were you Id switch providers and get a phone that works. Sorry to disappoint.
I talked to GMC and they said the phone is compatible and it did work fine with our old phone. Tried to delete and reload again a couple of times but that did not help.
