Download app to my phone

[jorgen.lindroos]

Hi.
I got some problems with my MIDlet. I have tested it on a 7210 emulator and now I'm trying to download it to my 3510i.

I have never downloaded a java-application to any phone, since I have not been willing to pay for a program or game that I won't use. But programming on my own is something that I think is fun, and cheap.

Well, I went Menu->Applications->App.Services->http://mysite.com/download.wml

download.wml contains this (amongst other things):
<a href="app.jad">Download</a>

The site appears correctly. I click phone-button on the link. All I get is a description of the MIDlet appearing like this:
-------TEXT--------
MIDlet-Name: App
etc.

But I don't get the app to my phone.

I have download.wml, app.jad and app.jar on the same place.

Thanks

Probably your website doesn't return correct MIME settings for JAD and JAR files. I.e. when server sends JAD file, it tells your phone that it is just a text file and phone displays it as a text file.

There was a number of similar posts recently. Do some search on the Forum for how to set correct MIME types.

One more solution is not to use web-site at all. As far as I understood, you just want to test your app on the real device. You could use Nokia PC Suite for your phone model

I see. Seemes to be the problem. I will look at it.
The reason I'm not using data-suite is because the program is also intended to test OTA-downloading.

Thankyou very much for your concern.

One more thing. Instead of changing your website settings, you can find a free hosting, that has correct settings already
Search the forum, people reported of some free hostings

There was no problem to change the MIME-settings. First it didn't work, but I found out that the page was in the cache of the phone. So after emptying the cache, everything worked fine.

But it doesn't seem to work to download it to a SE T310. Why is that, does it not support MIDP 1.0?

Thank you very much for your help. Appreciate
