Legal Java runtime for o2 xphone users (AutoUpdate as well)

[Guest samuel337]

Hey guys

I got an email from o2 earlier about this party in HK, and it turns out the extra software is not the new ROM, but rather a Java runtime and some java apps.

IT is available to all o2 users now, via the new o2 autoupdate. check it out at:

http://www.myxphone.com/serviceandsupport/...818/swupgrade/7

AutoUpdate is built to give the user convenient access to helpful information and exciting software for the user’s device. AutoUpdate also provides messages to inform the user of repair center locations, helpdesk phone no., software upgrade, user events, product announcements and user tips to make it easy for user to get the best experience.

With AutoUpdate the user can download contents or software via ActiveSync from desktop or over the air through wireless Internet connections.

User can get first hand information about available software upgrades or user tips to help operate his device in a different way or overcome difficulties he may have experienced with the device.

I can't get it working though, as it says my xphone is not an xphone... :cry: and :evil: Any solutions?

I'm interested to see who gets it working - can you post some images and confirm whether it is a real java runtime?

thanks

I encountered similar error message with AutoUpdate...suspect it's due to ROM version......my ROM version is 1.7.10.2...

I could install the program and download the catalodge.

But I see no Java VM, there is only one calculator application for download.

Sorry to raise your hope then... but its very interesting because on the how-to page of the o2 website, (http://www.myxphone.com/Xphone/serviceands...hone.vm/n/howto), the screenshot seems to suggest otherwise... I have attached one below.

kwyeung: Did you encounter any problems when installing it?

I couldn't install the program when I'm using user account in XP box, but everythings go smooth when I'm using administrator account.

Can we download the program (Java runtime for O2 Xphone) like we download other software, through Internet PC? Not from Xphone?

I tried to install Xphone AutoUpdate, but it didn't recognize my Xphone, so I can't use the AutoUpdate.

Thanks

Sorry - if you read my post a bit later, I have actually discovered that the Java Midlet Manager is not actually there, contrary to the screenshots on the o2 website.

However, I think that o2 wants you to download the Java runtime through the o2 AutoUpdate program in order to encourage people to use it - I originally couldn't install it either, but the recent version seemed to work - try downloading it again.

Maybe o2 will make the Java runtime available when it comes out of trial!

I think it wouldn't work at my Xphone, because I update my Xphone with I-Mate 1.10.xxx ROM, now my Xphone become Smartphone2...

Now I'm waiting the new Xphone ROM, to change back my Xphone to it original, so I can run all O2 Xphone software...
