Author Google's java apps on RAZR
Greg Palmer

2006-11-08, 10:33 pm

I've downloaded a couple java apps from mobile.google.com onto my RAZR.


I've got T-Zones on this phone right now, which doesn't seem to allow
the apps to access the internet. Google is telling me I should be able
to get them to work with this phone. Tmobile is saying it's not
capable. Anyone have any advice on if/how I can get this running?

They're both right! AFAIK, the problem is T-Zones. T-Zones blocks most
ports, and the Java apps are "hardwired" to use certain ones (port 80, I
believe, which T-Mo blocks.)
Anyone have any advice on if/how I can get this running?

Sure, subscribe to the "Total Internet" plan for $30/month and they'll
likely work. I haven't found a Java app worth $30/month to me so I'm
sticking w/T-Zones...

Go to mini.opera.com from your phone and download opera mini. It will
install as a Java app and then you use that as your browser to go anywhere
you want.

I should also mention that to use JAVA apps you'll need to make some changes
to the default Web Sessions. If you can't find the Web Sessions menu item
it may be that TMo turned it off. You can turn it on with a SEEM edit. The
TMo Web Session is locked but you can create a new one and set it as the
defaut. The new one, which you can name Java Session, can be found at
www.motox.info
