first of all, the phone I have is the s710a

the current way I put pictures and ringtones on my phone is through the memory card via the memory card reader hooked up to my computer.

say if I wanted to put this game onto my
phonehttp://www.getjar.com/products/852/Abyss
how would I go about doing it? Which file would I download, the .jad or .jar? And where would I place it in the memory card?

thanks a lot

When you say sim card, i am guessing you mean > Memory card < correct? anyway its the .jar file you need and just transfer it into the 'other' folder on your memory then select it when its on your phone and it should install for you [addsig]

problem, when I put the .jar file in the 'other' folder, then place the memory card into my phone. The game appears under my 'other' listing on the phone, but I dont have the option to play it. It just says, send

K750/W800 has an option to install from the other folder, the older phones S700/K700 did not. You need to place it in the root of the memorycard, not in any folders, then the phone will start to install when you put the memorycard in the phone, and ask you where to install to, games or programs.

for some reason, that does not work either. I place them in the root dir on the memory card and when I take it out and put it into my phone, it shows up under the 'other' folder still and dont have the option to install or play it

You have to keep it in the "others" directory. Then, instead of looking for the "install" option, go to the option "move to folder..." and then select the "games" folder.......simple.
And do post whether you succeded or not.

that did not work, since it does not give me the option to send to the 'games' folder on my phone. When I go to send it to a folder, the only options it gives me are 'new' and 'other'

this sux, cuz I can't install any games as well, all the games that I have contain this one folder which has some MF file in there, i put it in the OTHER folder in the phone, and it wont do any thing to it ... the way I do it is I connect my phone to the PC and throught the SE File manager put it in the phone. Once it's in there i go in the phone, find the file and if the only option that it gives is SEND, and i can send it via bt, sms, etc.... HOW DO I INSTALL THE STUPID THING hehe

Oh yeah, the rest of the files that go with the game are some sort of CLASS Files.

Thanks in advance.
