Overview

This document lists the various tools and tips for working with the Nokia phones.

Development

Tools

To build, debug and deploy applications on the Nokia phones, you must have first install (in this order) the following:

Tips

Make sure your JRE and compiled in Eclipse are set to 1.4. If you don't your emulator won't work and your apps won't work on the phone.

If the Nokia is running as a Bluetooth client, it has to do a device inquiry, it does not support connecting to a known service on a known device. This is a limitation of the implementation of JavaME on the phones.

JavaME apps cannot run as a background process. They can be put into the background through a PushRegistry command that essentially stops them. They can then be restarted via a timer or incoming network process. True background apps can only be done in Symbian.
