| Subject: | BB8707 can't download the JAR file | |
denis 20:02 | Hi there, I followed the instructions and browsed to the JAR file for the BB8707 but I think my BB tries to open the file and fails : HTTP Error 406.. Error details : 200 : Application can not accept the content[application/x-java-archive] The version of my BB's OS is 4.1.0.316. Don't know how to install your tool so. Thanks for your help, Denis | |
denis 9:41 | Hello again, Well, BB8707 is a bit tricky. I installed the version 4.2 of the OS (what a pain to do this!) and then I was able to download the TMJ JAR. It installed right away. I can run it and I get the registration message, it reads I should go to the main menu and "settings" but, when I am on the main screen, the only menu option I have is "Close" . It looks like if the menu does not show up correctly. Any idea? Thank you, Denis | |
denis 10:31 | Oops, I discovered that TMJ doesn't use the standard pad to navigate but the digit keys. It's fair enough, I'll register and try to make it communicate with my AXIM PDA ;-) I'll let you know if I make it. | |
Stephen 12:43 Location: Phone Model: | Hi Denis, Yes, on a BlackBerry the P and DEL keys are used for the Main Menu and Context Menus (it was easier to do this to improve compatibility between different handsets, rather than use the BlackBerry-specific menu). More info in the User Guide. Its interesting to hear that upgrading the firmware of your 8707 allowed the JAR file to be installed - I suspect this might apply to a number of others who have had trouble installing the software on their BlackBerrys... Cheers, Stephen | |
denis 15:45 | Hi Stephen, Yes, I had to upgrade the OS, but it's not an easy task even if you are in the business...:-( I could install the JAR but the JAD works fine too. I used GPS2BLUE on my PDA (with a compact flash GPS) to send the NMEA info via bluetooth, and... it works!!!!!!!!!!!! I used it today on a 30 km trip in my car and I was able to see the trace on my BB, soooo cool! TJM is great tool!! On my way back, I noticed I haven't "Enable Upload" on, then I set the option on, but I don't think it worked. I don't see anything on the web site. Is there any more options to enable or to set to be able to send data via GPRS? Thanks, Denis | |
denis 17:50 | I am so close.... I think I must set a WAP APN name, IP and Port but which one? Some web sites refer to web.pt.lu for LUXGSM in Luxembourg but it doesn't work. I tried many others without success. It's really the feature that I want, I can't fail now! :-) Denis | |
denis 18:49 | YESSSSSS! I MADE IT!!! I found the settings for my provider (LUXGSM) : http://wap.lu/login/web/ It works so great! You certainly won a donation for me, it's worth it! | |
Stephen 22:14 Location: Phone Model: | Hi Denis, good to hear that the WAP settings worked, also impressed that you've managed to connect via bluetooth to your Axim's GPS - very ingenious!! Cheers, Stephen | |
