How do I upload Java apps? Is it hard to run Java applications? It really is very a breeze to do this, but takes just a little knowledge. Read on for some useful hints (along with some added pics) that you might try.
This step by step tutorial assumes you use a windows PC to download the java programs and then placing them to your cell phone (note that unless your phone has internal memory the Java applications need to be copied onto a micro SD card (or whatever other memory card your phone uses), which is afterwards placed into your phone). Also, the contents of this article is intended to be a all around review for all phones using java, but could be highly useful to folks who ever gotten an unbranded cell phone that was made in China.
Step 1.
See if your phone is enabled to run Java apps. For famous brands, such as the BlackBerry, look for a Java icon or take some to to do a online search. For the unbranded phones, make sure at the time you buy it that your mobile has the ability to run java.
Step 2.
Connect your cell to your computer by a USB. Afterwards, you should see a new drive appear in your "My Computer", as if you plugged in a flash drive or your iPod. If your phone comes with both external and internal memory (likey microSD card) you will be able to see two removable drives.
Click to make a new folder within a removable drive with some untapped memory, and call it "java" (I suggest this as a way to have things looking clean so you can locate your downloaded stuff in a later step, but it truly won't matter what you name the file).
Step 3.
Search the internet for some java applications you think might be nice. I think you should start with this site.

They got a lot of java app selections, and you can shorten your desired choice by phone platform or manufacturer for quick and dirty navigating. I prefer Java Generic, for the simple reason that it often will work on most phones.
After you choose which the app you like, download it, but make sure what you wish to download from the site is a JAR file
Step 4.
After you have finished downloading the file, you will see a file that is zipped. There is no need to unzip it. Simply click and drag zipped java program from the PC to your USB connected phone (remember step 2? Handy to have a home folder already indicated as java, no?)
Step 5.
Unplug your phone from the pc, navigate to the phones file manager and look around for your Java folder. Open it, and you will be able to see your java program. Choose it, and allow installation. Next, the phone will install without problems and tell if the installation process was successful.
Step 6.
Browse the application on your cell that runs Java apps, browse to your downloaded application, and enjoy.
That's really it. Take care that not all programs will work on every phone, or that they won't work as expected. I suggest you try free downloads, or if a paid one, finding out if there is a free trial version if possible. If they don't function, then you have not lost anything. Also take note that java apps give possibilities greater than play funny games. Some of the most excellent are able to do everything from better and fancier multimedia players, to office tools.
