Default File Transfer

Today, i've connected my S2 to my PC via the original Samsung USB cable. Phone's memories (int and ext) are seen, accessible. I can take files from the phone, but when i try to add a file (.apk file) to the phone, the transfer window just hungs and does nothing...I've tried Mass storage, MTP, Kies, but nothing. (Kies is crashing my whole system). Tried debugging on/off...still nothing. Cannot try through wifi, since my pc is connected via cable to the internet, and my phone is connected to a hacked neighbours network
I've searched the forum and didn't find any similar case

EDIT: I can only transfer photo files.
If you shake my hand, better count your fingers

Exit kies, open task manager and kill all kies processes. Your apk file transfer should be fine now

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII

then rename the extension if you're apk files and then transfer. In your phone, rename the extension back to apk.

It works fine here but i don't know why it's not working for you.

Ps: use mass storage mode

Same here.
After I updated from GingerBread to Jelly Bean, I can't transfer apk files from PC to phone using bluetooth.

Trying a file transfer in debugging mode, some apk files go through and some don't.
I get a 'Skip this file?' popup (maybe gloup81 gets a popup that hides behind other windows, so the system doesn't really hang there).

If I remove the special characters (like "-"," _", or ".") from the name, or sometimes shorten it, the apk goes through.

It looks like a filename parsing problem on Jelly Bean (since these file names had no problem on GingerBread).
