Hi, I want to know if there is any way to download files with extensions that are not recognized by the device using IE mobile? For e.g. If I want to download any rar file it says, " This file cannot be displayed on this device and halts the download". Or any media file that is not recognized by TCPMP/ WM player, it doesn't download. Since I use an unlimited data connection, I wanted to use this for downloading some files on phone and then I can use them to view on PC.
I also could not download zip files that I can see using Total Commander.
If anyone has any idea, please reply.
Thanks.
Yes there is a way how to correct this behavior. You have to use desired utility for that. Unfortunetaly I fotgot the name for it. Thy to search for Gonz Guava ROM - it has this utility included.

I have a treo 750 unlocked. (originally cingular but I'm with Tmobile - not sure if that matters) Tmobile tech guy recommended opera mini when I told him i was having trouble browsing some sites...
If I understand correctly i need a few things in order to download it.
I tried getting it right off my phones browser and I see the file in my folder but when I click it the message says (" there is no application associated with operaminibrowser- Run the application first then open this file from within the application)
I would love to do that but don't see any other option to run the application... maybe i'm not looking in the right place so let me know
assuming I have to do some extra steps I see that I might need the following
Risidoro_Intent_MIDlet_Manager_v11.zip (when I download and extract this the directions say to extract the .cab file but there are lots of files in there and when I open them all I get is a scrambled text file
I just want to have a full browser and be able to get google or yahoo maps for directions.
someone please help
thanks
Have you tried to download it off your PC and put the cab file on your device via activesync?

I recommend this too. Also, I heard it works well if you download IBM's java emulator with it. I like full Opera more then mini and it is free as it is a Beta right now (8.65).
yes I downloaded the files below but no applications would run... perhaps this is where that midlet manager comes in but that won't run anything either.
1. Select preferred language for Opera Mini:
2. Transfer these files to your phone, and install them according to your phone's installation procedure:
opera-mini-advanced.jad
opera-mini-advanced.jar
actually I re-read your question and no I didn't transfer it to my device then try to run it so I'll do that now.
thanks
I'll let you know if it works

That is, just click opera-mini-advanced.jar from inside File Explorer - you won't even need the JAD file.

Hi. I hope I'm posting this in the right section, but how would I install apps on my T-Mo MyTouch 3G Slide, that are offered on this or any other forum? Do I download them to my PC and first start the installation there, somehow? Or how would I do it??
I'm very new to this whole Android world. I just bought my phone.
Thanx for the help!!
Applications in this forum usually comes in the form of .apk's. An apk is an installer file for Android and must be run from the phone.
So you have two options when you find programs here on this forum:
1. You download the file on your PC, connect the phone to your PC and mount the SD-card, copy the file over and run it from your phone
2. Browse to the forums via your phone and download them directly and run them
It can be done via dropbox, chrome2phone, email etc as well if you want to

THANK YOU!!!!
The file that I download, copy in to any folder (Programs ect...) on to your SD card and run the file from the phone, correct? What is the format of that file needs to be? It won't be an *.exe right? What format do I make sure the correct file is? Is there any other ways? Just asking
Thank You!!
You can put it anywhere on the SD-card, just be sure you have some sort of file manager from the market and remember where you put it After that you just run it and it should install (if you get several options when you run the file, the correct one to run it with is "Package Installer").
The files will be in the format programname.apk

Hi all. I just got my Xperia X2 which is my first smartphone ever.
I'm very excited about it but my Lock Slider is rather slow.
I browsed a bit and found a few possible solutions but how do I install applications like this? This is what I want to download for my phone at the moment, but can someone please tell me how I extract it properly? And how to send it to my phone in the easiest way?

Howdy there,
Though I do not have any experience with your phone, I would;
1. download any give utility I wanted via my Personal Computer and then
2a. plug tha phone in my PC via USB (set it to 'Diskdrive') and copy the file(s) or
2b. plug tha phone in my PC via USB (set it to 'ActiveSync') and copy the file(s) or
2c. unplug the SDCard and stick it into my 72+1_Cardreader and then copy the files or
1b/2d. download everything via my phone (while using 'Compact View').
Start using http://filext.com if you do not know what to do with certain file extentions. Like;
pdf, arj, rar, zip, 7z
Anyway know that *.cab files can be installed on your smartphone via its file browser.
Success ,
What utility is prefered? I got no clue at all really. :-( And when I'm clicking on your shortcut "Compact View" it just goes to the home-page of forum.xda? Why is that? :-|
Compact View is for use with your phone.
Did you visit your phone's specific site here on XDA?
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 runs on Windows Phone 6.5, meaning there are a whole host of apps you can download onto it.
You can install additional applications on your phone, but they must be compatible with Windows Mobile version 6.5.3.
It is possible to remove the applications that you have installed, but you cannot remove applications that come with the phone.
To install an application use Explorer (find it in Program Files);
Download the application to your PC
If the application file is in compressed format, such as .zip, first extract the file
Read any installation instructions or documentation that comes with the application
Connect your phone to the computer with a USB cable.
[*]Double-click the application file (usually of .exe format (use ActiveSync to install)) to start the installation. If it is of .cab format then copy the file to your phone and tap (and hold) the file from your phone to start installation.
Hello, I have downloaded a zip file through IE. Where I can find it ?
Thank you
There isnt a specific place... each app has its own isolated storage where it keeps their files.
You should be able to open that ZIP file from the browser and it will show you the files within... if they are recognised file types by WP7, it will let you run them.
But that's it, you have no file manager you can goto and fetch that saved file.
PS: well, you have... but I'm unsure if TouchXplorer is still working or not.
Thanks for this, but how can i delete it if I can't find it? I use the TouchXplorer...
I am concerning about the phone memory.
Generally, files downloaded through IE are stored in temporary memory and will be erased after a certain amount of time.
I ran into the same problem today. luckily i hit the windows button so all I have to do is hit the back button to reach the zip file again. Kind of frustrating when you dont have a file explorer and no other way to reach the file you just downloaded
