P.S. I can send files from PC to mobile by using USB cabel or Micro SD

Could you please tell us what error you get (if any) when you try to open such a JAR file? In other words, what do you mean by "phone doesn't recongnize them"?

When I want to open a .jar my phone shows: invalid application delete?
and it happens on all .jar files.

Are these games designed for your device?

Possibly, they are MIDP-2 applications, and you have a MIDP-1 device...

You can know your phone's MIDP version by checking its specifications page:
http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/3120

The MIDP version required by a JAR file is found either in the accompanying JAD file or in the manifest file. The JAD is not always required so your game might not have come with one. However, it is a good idea to also have the JAD file. To see the manifest file extract the JAR with an archive program (Winrar for example), and in the META-INF folder you should see a MANIFEST.MF file. That's where you can find the MIDP version.

Ok I have MDIP-1.0. If the problem is in this can I somehow a new MIDP version?

Sorry not a new but get a new version

[bogdan.galiceanu]

If you're asking if you can upgrade your phone's MIDP version, no, it isn't possible. But there might be a solution for this problem (if this really is the problem):

• Extract the JAR using WinRar
• Open the MANIFEST.MF file with a text editor and change the value of the field MicroEdition-Profile from MIDP-2.0 or whatever it is to MIDP-1.0 and the same for CLDC if necessary.
• Delete the old manifest from the JAR and add this edited one

There is no guarantee that this will work, but you can try

And, if you feel you want to change something from your previous posts you don't have to make new ones, just use "Edit/Delete Message" button and change the text in the post

Thanks the game is going now ,but last question what does MIDP means?

[bogdan.galiceanu]

MIDP stands for Mobile Information Device Profile. You can find information about it here:
