First, I really have done extensive searching and can't seem to find the answer:
I have ATT Tilt with new ROM (1.62). Is there any Java update/midlet that will allow the Gmail app to be downloaded and work on my device? As it stands now, it won't even download from the Gmail site.
Thanks in advance.
Java
I would recomend esmertec java.
You can find it out there, it is not free ware, but since your phone probably came with it like my tilt from att, so licenseing shouldn't be an issue.
Threre are wonderful people out there that have taken apart roms and have all applications that came on the stock rom.
look here and good hunting.

I think I have read every thread in this forum having to do with trying to get the Gmail Java app to work. There are folks that say "Gmail works for me", but do not give any details as to their device, version, or other particulars. I have yet to run across a thread that succinctly explains how to get the Kaiser/Tilt to properly use the Gmail Java app. This is surprising to me because I am utterly impressed by many of the people on this forum and what they do. Much of it is beyond me, but I do enjoy the forum very much and have learned quite a bit from it.
Gmail being as popular as it is, I would have believed that one of our "geniuses" would have sorted it out by now.
Maybe soon???

Last time I checked, GMail is not working on WinMo phones at this time, Google even has it as a known issue and has not been able to fix it

hope this helps
Why don't you just check your GMAIL through the Mail application included in the ROM? Or am I missing something?

Please, which Java are you using? Do you have a link?
How about including some links to the app to make this post? Please update the first post with the download link and findings to make this post more usable to all.
Thanks!
I just use the regular mail application... but I assume he is talking about this GMail Application go to the link with your phone.
Im about to check it out and see if its any better....
Going to http://gmail.com/app installs fine if you have Esmertec Java 20070802 installed. If you don't have this, you can search for CloudyFa esmertec jbed to download the cab.
*Edit* spoke too soon. Gives me an error message about this program requiring a data connection when trying to refresh or download mail. I'll play with it some more...
me too
mine was doing that yesterday... uninstalled then went back to www.gmail.com/app (on my phone) reinstalled and now everything seems to be copacetic

IBM
hello guys, i looked into this thread earlier and tried to get it to work on my device. esmertic java didn't work for me, so i got the IBM Java Virtual Machine, i installed that first then went to http:\\gmail.com\app and downloaded the app and now it works perfectly and the app is really great. you can dowload the IBM jvm from here.
I think there's something wrong with the .jad file that we get from gmail.com/app. But you can get the actual jar file at http://www.gmail.com/app/v1.0.0/en/gmail-g.jar
Download it, transfer to sdcard and run it (install), make sure you have java installed... i'm using cloudyfa_esmertec_jbed... it work great...
i have v1.5 jar link, but eventually lost it... still searching through google.. or perhaps somebody could help...

That direct link is a good find. But, you're right, they are up to version 1.5 now. Would be great to find that link.
Here it is: http://gmail.com/app/v1.5.0/L1/gmail-g.jar
And here is an older version: http://gmail.com/app/v1.1.1/L1/gmail-g.jar

i use esmertec's java and downloaded gmail's java app and its been working beautifully for a long time. definitely would not use the pop process, as you'll get a new email whenever you send emails as well. quite annoying...
gmail mobile
HELP.
Att Tilt. I am too newbie to put all the threads together. If someone could walk me thru all the steps I need to take to get the gmail mobile app to work and also after its downloaded is there a way to shortcut it to the home/today screen. I've got the HTC homescreen and the other one. I found this link on the gmail help site:
http://groups.google.com/group/gmai...?lnk=gst&q=gmail+mobile+tilt#dfaf2289978e9159
How do I check if I have the right JAVA or not? Please senior members start from the beginning step by step. Thanks

Hello,
I just got an AT&T Tilt. I want to be able to run Opera Mini and the Java GMail app at the same time, without having to close one first. I have not found a way to do this. Whenever one is running, if I try to run Java again, it just goes right to the running program.
I also followed the instructions at: http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-...ed-includes-info-new-java-midlet-manager.html
This created shortcuts to both GMail and Opera Mini. However, if I run OperaMini, then run the shortcut to GMail, it just activates the already running Opera.... same effect as selecting "Java" from the start menu with one already running.
Has anyone figured out a way to run more than one midlet at a time with the Tilt?
On my 8125 (Wizard?) I was able to run multiple midlets, which I believe was the Intent version of Java.
Thanks for any help!
Good question ! I was also wondering about that.
Thanks for the link that helped me create shortcuts, the tckmax trick isn't working for me though, I still get asked about permissions on the Kaiser? Ah I see that "flexte" pointed it out over there already, must be some extra security on our little Kaiser then!
Has anyone managed to successfully run any apps that needs 'embedded Visual Runtime Basic'
I downloaded it from MS and loaded it to the tytn II and then loaded the app which appears to install successfully, but when i launch the app i just get 2 loading (spinning) icons then nothing.
the app i want to run is GPS DIS pro 3.4 which needs VB runtime files to work.
I had the same problem on the HTC P300i also.
Any tips/help is appreciated.
I have a evb program on my tilt that I wrote a couple years back and it runs just fine. Im not familiar with that program so I cant really help you with it but you can definately run evb programs on the tilt/kaiser/tytn II.
Thanks Ren13B,
which VB Runtime file did you load? (link please)
I tried another app that needed VB Runtime also but that wouldnt load also.
ps. are you driving an R100?
Sorry I dont remember where I got it. I just did a google search for it because the link they give you if you dont have it installed is now dead. Doing a quick search now pulls up http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/windowsmobile/downloads/evb.aspx which should provide you with what you need. That page states the runtime is no longer supported on anything past Pocket PC 2003 so that might be your problem.
I drive a RX-8 right now. Renesis13B
Thanks Ren13B,
That is the link that i used already. I had some other posts that indicated that it should be installed on the device and not the storage card, which i have done.
Some others like yourself have indicated that they have gotten it running in WM6, but none of my 2 apps being GPS DIS pro3.4 and Geoapps GPS Stealth 1.00.
Could you try them and let me know if you can get them to run?
Cheers!
PS. Ever thought about dropping in a 20B???
Sure, I can try them. Can you post links for them or pm the links if they arent free apps?
I had a 2nd gen RX7 that I wanted to put a 20B in but it was too costly at the time. Im keeping the RX8 relatively stock for now. Cant afford to have car troubles these days.
Nevermind..i found a trial version. Trying it now.
Doesnt run on mine either. I get the same two spinning icons and nothing else happens.
try a soft reset,
when i did that i got a tad further. (to the point where it tells me that i have used X number of 15 tries.
Thanks
I've have two different issues with Outlook mobile on my Tilt. I hope you guys can provide me with hints and workarounds.
Problem 1:
Outlook Mobile will not download Internet pictures. I don't want to keep telling Outlook to "Download Internet Pictures" because they were blocked. -Is there a way to permanently allow all pictures to download, so I don't have to click [2x] (i.e. Internet Pictures Blocked, Download Internet Pictures)?
Problem 2:
None of my html links are working. I keep getting an OperaLaunch.exe error "The file 'OperaLaunch' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.' Subsequently I am unable to click on any links whether they are embedded within a picture or textual.
There must be some tweaks for this, perhaps a reg edit or something... please help
THANKS!

I was getting that same error and to fix it I searched the registry for operalaunch and changed it to opera.exe
Sorry I don't have the exact key that needs to be changed but that's how to fix it.

There are 14 different keys using operalaunch.exe keys; Do I change all of them? This still doesn't answer problem 1.

Now how to get Outlook Mobile to automatically download all html pictures...
thanks again!!!
prealphageek
can anyone help with the html download?
Just getting this back on the radar. I'd like to get Pocket Outlook to automatically download images without me having to manually do it for every email. i.e. html emails...
That question has been asked many, many times and as far as I know, it has yet to be answered.
I think every newbie that comes here asks that question...
Chuck Pocket Outlook AND Flexmail.
Install ProfiMail from lonelycatgames.com - onto the storage card. It is great at HTML email! I think it is a much more efficient email app for a small screen. It also eliminates that frustrating BS of selecting the messages you want to download, then downloading them in a separate step.

Thanks for the tip.. I tried it out.. not exactly my cup of tea. It seemed a little clunky for me, plus I like using touchflo while reading mail. I can live with pocket outlook until there is a better fix. I prefer a real fix rather than a installing (masking the problem) new software to replace existing tools. that's just my 2 cents.
I'm running Duttys V3 right now.
I have a Java program thats a .jar right now.
Can this run on a tilt?
Do I need to download something to do this if so?
Thanks

But you might need to convert it to a JAD file first, you might wanna check the Java Midlet bible somewhere around these forums *cough*search*cough*
yeah.
just FYI, i did search. and java came up 2 times in kaiser for titles. neither were helpful. *cough*
these things are general and searching only in kaiser forums will limit the results alot

Yup. He should have searched in the Wiki instead - as is also stated in the "SEARCH XDA-Developers using GOOGLE & READ THE KAISER WIKI!!! " sticky thread... for example, my MIDlet Bible...
1. you do NOT need to create a JAD file out of the JAR
2. install Cloudyfa's Jbed ( http://www.winmobiletech.com/092007MidletBible/Jbed.zip )
3. click the JAR file
thanks guys. will try that JVM. I got CrEme to run, but wouldnt work with my program. will try that other JVM after lunch! XDA rocks

CrEme's MIDlet support just sucks - see my MIDlet Bible in the Wiki for more info on the why's if interested.
no luck on jbed either. thanks for trying though.
The .jar was designed to run on a PC and runs flawlessly on a PC with real java. All it does is connect to a remote PC and monitor a chat screen and play a sound file if something happens. yet it wont work on anything I've tried for our phone.
Jglidemon.jar cannot be installed because critical information is missing from the application file (MIDlet-Name). -13
Hi,
Can any body tell me that where i can get these given above applications for read and edit word, excel etc ms offices file in g1 phone .. or suggest any other free application for my google g1 phone with i can read all ms office documents..
thanx in advance
Google is your friend..
Go to the Dataviz web site, they have 'Docs to go' for the G1.
"...a limited-time introductory price of $19.99 (regularly $29.99.) "
Quick office also have "Quick office for Android"
"...$20.00"
Both are available from the Marketplace your G1.
Sorry no freeware....
You can't edit in Quick Office!

Has anybody tried it? Bit of a challenge to buy it since paid apps aren't available in Canada, so before I go to the trouble, does DTG support any real document formats, like ODT, or is it strictly limited to microcrap?

I bought it. No, at this time, it is not as good as the Palm or other version, but it works. I use it to read and edit my MS Word documents. I also used it to open a Excel document, but that really doesn't matter to me too much.
Just for you, I tried, it said it cannot open because it is not a valid MS Word 97-2008a.
Thanks for checking. Guess they won't be getting any money from me.
You know they will end up making google docs. One day.
Or you can use Shead Spreet app....I think it will read in excel data.

I agree... they need a mobile version BADLY!!!! The funny thing is, I believe Google docs. works with Windows Mobile and not Android. That is more of a browser thing but still. Its just plain stupid!!! And why does the Sapphire have a pdf viewer and the G1 doesn't?! It's about time for another RC update so JF can return to do work his magic.

I been thinking about getting that one. How well does it handle larger files (lets say ones larger than 1-2 MB?)
Google docs is pointless since it depends on a network connection. It also puts potentially security sensitive information out of your personal control (which is almost always against the rules when dealing with other people's data).

I believe they would need to make a offline Google docs app, kind of like the offline gmail app they built.
GDocs now on the marketplace. Not made by google, but looks like it has on and offline support. I am downloading it now. oh and its free.
Well tested it out, and does not work well at all, but it in early beta I think it said .21 So it has time, But at least someone is working on it.
just updated and works a bit better, It will not pull down info from the web, and update info from g1. But will not update data back down to g1. only way to is to delete doc off the phone and re download it.

I have docs to go, and it isn't even really noticeably slower opening 2+MB files. It handles them just fine. I even threw a 7MB doc file with embedded images at it, no problem.
I just had a look at that and it has a *very very* long way to go. Its basically worthless and I don't expect it to go anywhere near far enough to actually be useful. I suspect that it was whipped together in about a half hour. All it is is a text editor, it downloads the TEXT from your google doc and stores it in an sqlite3 database file. No formatting or anything. It doesn't even save the odt file to local. I seriously doubt that the author has the skills to develop a full word processor.
