New Ngage NOOB

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: gotmac

Questions:

How do I put games on my Ngage? And where do I get them? (please PM me with some good sites or tips)

Is there some sort of desktop software I need?

I have a apple, what am I limited to?

Do I just drag everything into the MMC card or how would I transfer apps/ringtones/wallpapers, ect?

Sorry, Im just really new to the whole symbian stuff.

Welcome to HoFo:

First off, which N-Gage do you have?

With the original N-Gage, you can just drag and drop a .SIS or .jad/.jar (Java) file onto the drive that your original N-Gage is assigned by your MAC.

For the QD, you'll need an external MMC-capable card reader that would also work with a MAC.

PC Suite can cover most aspects of the transferring wallpapers, apps and ringtones if you have the original N-Gage. With the QD, you'll have to use an external card reader or for files that are smaller than 1.5 MB, you can use Bluetooth. A word of caution.....never send large-sized apps or files via Bluetooth to your N-Gage. The internal memory is limited on both the original N-Gage and the QD. If you do this, then your internal memory will be filled to capacity meaning that your phone will no longer have the memory resources needed to boot and load the needed system startup files located in the internal memory. This is known as the White Screen of Death (W.S.O.D.).

You might want to swing by N-Gage-Help.com or the official N-Gage.com forums where you'll find some more day-to-day users:

are we allowed to tell how to put games on it? i guess we can..or?

I'm sure you can as long as there aren't any links posted to forbidden sites. That's the only big no-no.

I'm still around to help with the N-Gage if I can even though mine is pretty much retired.
