Question
I bought a LG rythme from a friend of mine. I had it turned on to my number. I blue toothed all of my ringtones from my razor to it. They are in my multi media under audio there is a file with all the ringtones that came on it. I can not use any of the ones I sent to it? also I do not have a manual and i need to access the security part but i do not have the codes to open it.

Answer
Even though you were able to use bluetooth to move the files from your Razr to your LG, unfortunately, they are not compatible with your new phone. Ringtones may look like files, but they are configured for the same for every phone. You will unfortunately, need to download the ringtones to your new phone in order to use them from a location that has the ringtones. Ringtones can't be moved via bluetooth and work, I'm afraid. You can find the manual on=line for your phone. If the security codes are changed, you won't be able to get them. They are not in the manual - they come from the manufacturer or the carrier. A default security code is 000000. If that doesn't work, you won't be able to break the code and it is not in the manual. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
