Hi folks,
i hope someone can help me here as i have run out of ideas, i am trying to send some .sis files via bluetooth to another phone, but everytime i try to send them i get a message on the phone that says "unable to send protected object" these are all files that i have put on the phone, i was told that i would have install a third party explorer program on the phone and then send them, i have tried 3 of these and still the same happens, i was also told to rename the file with .txt instead of .sis and then try it but still the same :frown: , has anyone managed to do this yet, if so please please can you tell me how, thanks for listening 😉

It is because .sis and .jar files are on what is called a closed content list. This is to implement some form of DRM protection. However it is a blanket ban so even if you made your own app you couldn't send it anywhere. I've noticed that its a file on teh C drive, I was going to see if I could somehwo find a way of editing it but I guess it will have to be done before the firmware is sent to the phone.

And after developing such a novel workaround the problem, why cudn't the developers, in the holy name of Jesus, add 1 more item to the 'Send by' menu": Multimedia Message

That would be

A: Logical
B: Sensible
C: Something you could use
D: Desirable

So with all those things going for it there is no chance of getting them to do it 😊
