i have a incognito sanyo and i downloaded opera mini 6.5 and i wqould like to know how i can download apps thur opera mini foer free
The browser doesn't have anything to do with whether apps are free or not. Apps that are supposed to be free (like the ones on BoostApps) are free when downloaded in Opera Mini or the stock browser.
How do i down load pics from fb or any pics on the web from a boost sanyo innuendo cell phone sum1 please help me
You can download pictures on web pages to the memory card using Opera Mini 6.5. Get it here: http://boostapps.com/apps/opera-mini-6-5/
To download a picture using Opera Mini position the cursor over the picture and hold down the OK key until a menu bappears
Choose "Save image--" from the menu. Then choose memory card from the dropdown and press Save
LOST ALL Y BOOST APPS AS SOON AS U ALL MADE SOME KIND OF UPGRADE 4 FACE BOOK AND I DONT EVEN GET UPGRADE
Sounds nasty. I think you're saying you tried to update the Facebook app and now all your apps are gone. Which phone and what exactly happened?
ok im majorly stresed w/ this cell. I got a sanyo innuendo thru boost and have no clue how to use the mp3 thingy. Or how to retrieve anything i download. Because once a download (like the boost pdf manual). It just says something along the lines of "download complete & only gives me the option to click "dismiss" then it disappears?? Ok so why isnt it opening, also when i click on it (under my downloads option) instead of it opening, my options are to "delete all or erase all" nothing says to open or read. I NEED HELP PLEASE, clearly im not tech savvy so the simplest instructions would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!!! THANKS ALL!!!!!!!. Jessy
Start here: http://boostapps.com/help/ for how to get games and apps on your phone.
I need help with uploading picture to fcebook thru my incgnito phone is this too much to ask.?
To post pictures to Facebook either:
Use the Facebook App: http://boostapps.com/apps/facebook/
Use Opera Mini: http://boostapps.com/apps/opera-mini-6-5/
Use the Incognito's built-in email app to send the photo as a email attachment to your Facebook email upload address.
More information here: Editorial: Facebook Photo Uploading Needs To Be Fixed Now Please discuss Facebook uploading in the comments to that post as it has nothing to do with this one which is about the "About" page.
R their any websites where i can download mp3 music onto my boost mobile sanyo juno?
I have an innuendo, I wanted to know if I can download videos to my phone and if I can what format does the video have to be in.
The Innuendo supports 3G2 and MP4 videos but they have to be pretty low resolution 176x144 or 320x240. You should be able to download videos to the memory card using Opera Mini or Bolt Browser.
How do i get music on my boost moblie seek.
Copy your mp3 music files from your PC to the phone's memory card using a cable or card reader. It may also be possible to send them to the phone with bluetooth or download them to the card using Opera Mini or Bolt.
Can i download pandora radio onto a boostmobile samsung seek
No, Pandora is only available for Android, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile phones.
How do i dowload a flash player for my sanyo innuendo to watch sum medi clips...some dnt play all tha way it will say error MOR....What Do I Do?....
You can't. There are no Java Flash Players and even if there were the phone's not powerful enough to decode Flash.
Try using the Bolt Browser which can play some Flash videos by converting them to mobile format on the server http://boostapps.com/tag/bolt-browser/
my phone doesnt have the browser icon so i am not able to search the web or get on to facebook...where can i get the icon and how do i download it?
What phone?
where and how do i get music on my boost innuendo
There are loads of places on the Internet to download music from. Just be sure it's in mp3 format. I rip music from CD's and buy it online from Amazon.
I don't have that an Incognito, but supposedly you just need to put your mp3s into the "My Music" folder on the memory card. That's easiest if you have a PC and cable but you should be download music into that folder with Opera Mini, Bolt or UC Browser. I don't think it's possible using the built in browser.
Okay Dennis, I have a Sanyo juno from boost and for some reason I just cant get the right ringtones. I want it FREE mean ive tried mxyer and that just gies me POOR quality in my ringtones. Is there any possible way to get good quality ringtones? help please
I don't know if his will work on the Juno but with my Rambler I can send an mp3 (ripped from a CD or downloaded from Amazon) to the phone with Bluetooth and use it as a download. The quality is a good as the ringtones that come with the phone. If you don't have a Bluetooth adapter for your PC you can try sending a ringtone from another phone to your Juno - might not work but it would be a easy way to test if the Juno supports receiving Bluetoothed ringtones.
I just downloaded the L player for my incognito, what website can i go to, to download music to my phone?
Any site that offers mp3 downloads. Amazon has some free ones and more that aren't free. This page has a list of free legal mpg3 downloads: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/top-10-websites-for-free-legal-mp3-music-downloads/
How do I download pandora to my boost sanyo innuendo?
You can't as there is no Pandora Mobile Java app.
Hello i have a sanyo innuendo and i cant download music and use it as a ringtone unless i buy them second i tried all three steps that u gave for uploading pictures to facebook the browse part wont do anything the email gose thru but on my fb page it says u have received a media message from boost mobile i have tried phonezoo ventones and even googled help for this u r my last hope thank u in advance
I don't have an Incognito so the following information is second hand. If it doesn't work I'm sorry but I can't troubleshoot the issue,
For ringtones http://www.myxer.com/ is supposed to work. If you have a PC you can also use http://rumkin.com/tools/sprint/ to send music on the PC to the phone
For Facebook there are two ways that are known to work:
Email
- Go into the email section of the messaging app and set it up with your email account (Gmail, Yahoo Mail or Hotmail, etc.). Verify that you are able to send and receive emails using the app.
- Compose a new email addressed to your Facebook email address
- Attach a photo to the email and send it
- The reason you are getting the media message thing is because you are sending a picture message rather than an email.
Uploading with Opera Mini
- Install Opera Mini from http://boostapps.com/apps/opera-mini-6-1/
- Go to http://m.facebook.com and log in
- Click Photo, then click upload. The Opera Mini File browser will open. Scroll through the list of folders until you find your photos or images folder and click on it Then click on the photo you want to upload. If you don't see your image folder choose "Other" from the dropdown and browse through the folder list until you find it.
Hey Dennis. I just bought the Innuendo yesterday for Boost and when I try to get ringrones from myxer.com it won't let me. Is this a new software built in the phones or am I having bad luck?
I don't have an Innuendo but others have reported that it works if you do the following:
Go to http://myxer.com with phone or PC. Create an account and choose Sprint as your carrier. Search for free ringtones and send them to your phone.
my phone is a samsung seek from boost mobile and i wanted to download free game apps what site would that be? plus how do i get my phone to upload pics to my facebook?
can you please answer my ???s
This isn't a chat line and no one monitors these comments 24/7. I try to answer questions within 24 hours usually sooner. Nagging won't help.
Besides this one other good sites for game downloads include http://wap.hovr.com http://m.getjar.com/ and http://www.mobilerated.com/wap/
Boost phones tend to have problems uploading to Facebook (discuss here). Here are some things you can try that work on other Boost phones but haven't been tested on the Seek:
First Way
1) Go to http://m.facebook.com with the phone browser.
2) Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Photos.
3) On the Photos page click Upload Photos, then click the Browse button.
4)Click the My Pictures folder and choose the photo you want to upload. Hover over the filename to see a thumbnail.
5) Enter a caption and click the Upload button.
6) Uploading is slow. It takes about a minute.
7) The phone browser seems to have trouble staying logged into Facebook. If you get logged out while uploading, you have to have to start over.
Second Way:
Same as above but use the Opera Mini 6, Bolt or UC Browser instead of the built-in one. On some phones when using these browsers you can only upload photos that are stored on the memory card.
Third Way:
If the Seek's Email app allows you to attach a photo you can upload it to your a Facebook email address. Every Facebook user has a different address, you can see yours by clicking "Upload Photos" from the Facebook Mobile homepage or by going to http://facebook.com/mobile with a PC browser
using Sanyo Innuendo
couldn't get app to download to my phone at all.
tried to get TinyTwitter. help would be appreciated. thanks.
The way to install apps on the Incognito is:
1) Visit boostapps.com with your phone's browser.
2) Find a game or app you want.
3) Click the "JAD" link below the app's description. The phone will download and install the app
If that doesn't work then the app you are trying to install is incompatible with the phone. If that's the case there's nothing you can do to.
I have a sanyo juno as gift but am having prolems with music and videos. Actually, I cannot get any music or videos. Please send me information tohelp me. Thank you very much!
The Juno is a rather basic phone. I've not heard of anyone getting any sort of video or any music other than game sounds and ringtones to work on it. The problem is:
1. The phone doesn't have video support or a media player or a memory card for storing videos and mpg3s.
2. The firmware doesn't allow 3rd party apps to access phone memory so any media player you install is not going to work.
You can probably put your own ringtones on it using either Rumkin or Myxer.
Go to http://myxer.com with phone or PC. Create an account and choose Sprint as your carrier. Search for free ringtones and send them to your phone. Myxer's been reported to work on the Incognito, hopefully it will work on the Juno too.
If you have mp3's on a PC you can send them to the phone with http://rumkin.com/tools/sprint/
I want to release to me boltlite network.
I am not able 2 download anything on my phone help me
What phone and what have you tried downloadig?
i have the incognito and I wanted to listen to music on my phone but I dont know what site to get that from.. and my phone does not support Pandora so that is the only internet radio that i know..could you help please
The Incognito plays mp3 files. There are literally millions of mpg3 download sites. For example Amazon has a huge catalog including some free downloads. The easiest way to find music is to do a Google search for mp3 plus the artist or title you are interested in.
Omg i sure hope u can help me. I am so new to all this..i got a boost moble service and an incogneto .. About uploading pix from my phone to fb.. I get as far as my email addres just for this and it tells me to get a handler..what is a handler?? I also got my fb to come thru as txt .. Is there a way to upload pix that way too..it wont let me put anything in the subject box.. Plz help i have some realy cool pix i want to share..
There are no handlers. The message about a handler just means that the browser doesn't support what you are trying to do.
Try using the Incognito's email app to send the picture (as an attachment) to your Facebook upload by email address. I've heard that works well.
Someelse commented that they were able to post photos to FaceBook using Opera Mini but only for pictures on the memory card.
I need help with my browser! It keeps saying error 500!
Error 500 is usually a problem with the site you are trying to open. Which site and which browser?
dennis I finally got the i1! it is so different the tje other iden phones except the data speed. opera 5 runs laggy when not connected to wifi. and it is very open to downloads. I felt bad after buying it it was more then my i9. but it was worth it it is by far the best iden phone for boost mobile
dennis is sprint really going to shut off iden? if they do which will be a huge mistake is it going to affect the boost subscribers? i read about it on the sprint forums but its just too heard to believe.
It must have been a old thread that someone resurrected. At one time Sprint planned to shut down iDEN but they changed their plans and are now committed to it indefinitely and are putting a lot of money into it.
it was about why the i1 isnt on nextel yet. it also said that NIT holdings in centrel america brought iden to 3G speed using HASP+ the same that tmobile and at&t uses and that sprint doesnt want to upgrade iden with it case sprint doesnt want to b bothered
hay yall,just lettin u know the Email+IM from boost is working on my i776.Its laggy but it works. data space"559k, p.space-1055k & it has yahoo,aol,windows live,gmail&imap/pop3mail.just wanted yall 2 know. later
dennis i need help! can you download music on the i1? or should i just drop iden for cdma or gsm? i really want the i1 but i dont want to waste 350+ again on a lockdown phone
The i1 is pretty open. You should be able download music, copy it from your PC to the phone and use any MP3 as a ringtone no conversion required.
thanks a mill dennis!
Barbara, why are you posting this on the "About" thread? I don't think most users ever go there. You'd be more likely to get help from other users if you left clearly written comments describing your issues with these programs on each program's page. i.e. on the Papaya page, leave a comment explaining your problems with Papaya and asking if anyone has had a similar problem. Same with Nimbuzz, Mig33, etc.
Also have you tried these programs own forums or help emails as I suggested several days ago? Issues with verification SMS not received, can only be solved by the app's own support team not by me or other users.
You mean IM? I hardly ever IM so I'm not the best one to ask. For Yahoo and AOL in a single app you have a choice of:
Nimbuzz
eBuddy
Migg33
Papaya
WeBuzz
Why not try them all and see which one YOU like best.
If you don't get an activation code for an app within an hour or two try requesting it again or asking for help from the apps support email or forum.
Hey Dennis, there's a new version of the Zelda game out.
It's Zelda Beta 4 Final Release. I'm sure people would like to be able to download, this very improved version. So that you can post it here, I uploaded it to: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BSA8L6Q8
Enjoy!
Thanx
Oh, yeah... it's a HUGE app. 770kB!!! I have a i465, and can verify that it DOES WORK on my phone.
Thanks, any special reason why I should download it from that Megaupload link instead of the author's site: http://zeldamobile.gorthwogh.net/Downloads.php ? Downloading now, will post if it works.
No special reason at all. I posted it there to make it easy on you. I already Zip'ed the Jar and Jad file, to make upload easy to the iDEN uploader. Personally, I don't rally care for this game, but my wife ( who also has a i465 ), loves this game and has buggin me for the update. We have both tested it and it works
On separate note, Dennis thank so much, again, for this wonderful site!
I just want some ringtones that don't cost me an arm and a leg. I have the i465 and I've tried a couple different "free ringtone" sites that say they're compatible. Then I get the text and when I try to follow it, it says it's not supported or tells me to go get web service. I have web service. This sucks, please help!
iDEN phones can't download ringtones (except from boostmobile.com) or install them from a text. You can however send them to your phone with bluetooth. See: http://boostapps.com/tutorials/ringtones/
hi Dennis, how about detectoplasm from getjar.com? ty
I tried it but it doesn't work.
I have tried to download several different apps and nothing gets sent to my i465 clutch. what's the problem?
If the apps you send aren't showing up in download handsets here are are few things to check
- "Send to Phone" only works with Motorola iDen phones with model numbers starting with the letter i followed by 2 or 3 numbers, like i776.
- "Send to Phone" only works with phones on the Boost Mobile or Nextel US networks.
- It takes up to 3 days before downloading works for new Boost or Nextel subscribers.
- BoostApps does not send a text message to your phone to let you know that you have a new download, you have to go into Menu > Java Apps > New Purchases to find your downloads
- When you enter your phone number enter exactly 10 digits starting with the area code. Do not enter a leading 1. Do not enter any spaces or dashes, just the numbers.
Thanks for the info. Rechecked my apps today and they were there.
i have a juno will the apps work on my phone
Some of the apps of BoostApps may work on the Boost CDMA phones like the Juno. However you will have better luck and a much wider selection at http://m.getjar.com
Ebuddy social networking on Getjar.com.
Morrix Cube on Getjar. It's like Rubik's Cube.
The new Bolt I installed keeps telling me that I need to update my flash player. Is anyone else having this problem?
I have an i335. It will not download over the air so i got the usb wire. what next?u
This article from the Tutorials section explains how to use a data cable:
How To: Install Apps and Games On iDEN Phones Using A Data Cable
Please don't post off topic. Questions abut Life In Pocket belong on the Life In Pocket thread where people searching for help on it will be looking not on the "About" or "Requests" post.
I hope to beable to download free game
You're in the right place. If you have questions just ask.
hi dennis. after reading a news article about cell phones & virus threats i became concerned. so i ask u is the iden network safe from such threats? do i need anti-virus software for my i465 (clutch)? thank u.
There are no know viruses that effect basic cellphones like the ones Boost uses. There is no need for anti-virus software on these phones.
when i tried to install Papaya, it went great until it said it was gonna send me an SMS...... never got one. tried again, days later still nothing. does boost support SMS??
A lot of people have trouble with the Papaya SMS. I had to request it twice myself. I'd keep trying. Boost supports SMS, I think the problem is on Papaya's end.
