This is a "how to" step by step about installing software, photos and videos on mobile cell phones, and their alternatives, written by BocaEnBoca.com mobile phone software developers.

In order to install software, photos and videos in mobile cell phones there is two mail alternatives, one through internet from a computer or directly from your mobile cell phone.

First, we are considering software, photos and videos downloaded you have in your personal computer or can be downloaded from internet, wich is more difficult but unexpensive.

Almost every photo, animated gif, or video found on internet can be downloaded to your mobile phone, just rigth click on a item to save, but consider copyrights.

Regarding videos, think that they are very space consuming, therefore not install videos too long or with high resolution above 150*150 pixels as most mobile phones screens are smaller. Video format recommended is "mp4" as will run in most mobile cell phones.

You can find software for your mobile at bocaenboca.com/moviles/descargar_trials.htm to try this "how to".

Software files for cell phones are mostly named with extensions ".jar" for Java, presently on allmost every cell phone, and ".sys" for symbian devices as Nokias. Where availabe consider to choose ".sys" symbian software as its quality and performance are gratly improved compared to ".jar" Java files.

Second, once you download ".jar" or ".sys" file, to your computer there is mainly four alternatives to choose from in order to install / copy the software of your election on mobile cell phones:

First, you can use a IRdA Infrared port presently in every laptop computer and PDA devices, that is the easiest way. Turn on IRdA Infrared port on your mobile cell phone, by going to "Connectivity" / "Infrared Port" on Symbian phones as Nokias.

Place Mobile Cell Phone and computer infrared ports one in front each other, and
automatically should appear on Windows XP systems a Screen named "Wireless Link", that allows to easily send files from your computer, by choosing the file and clicking on button "Send".

Then, accept incoming file in your mobile phone, which will be recieved in your "message inbox" as any SMS Short Message.

If "Wireless Link" screen does not appear on your computer, then:
you can try either to send any file from your cell phones, go to "galery" choose a photo, "Options" / "Send" / "Infrared Port" and your computer will open screen "Wireless Link" that way.
or "Right click" on the file you want to send, / "Send to" / "Infrared device".

Unlikely, there is no way to send software from a mobile phone to another through Infrared port without installing first a software specifically designed for it.


Also you can send files to your bluetooth enabled mobile phone from a bluetooth enabled computer.
If your computer does not have a bluetooth port, you can get one in any electronics - computer store, for less than 25 euros, there is bluetooth 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 2.0 +, being differences on speed data transfer and maximum distance they can reach from 10 to 100 metres, but software is allways standard whatever the manufacturer - brand is.

After installing bluetooth device on your computer, simply go to the file to be transfered to the mobile phone "Right clik" on it and choose "Send to" "Bluetooth", will look for Bluetooth devices surrounding, choose yours, will ask you to "Pair" both devices.

Pairing computer and cell phone bluetooth devices, enter same number you prefer in both mobile phone and computer screens and connection will stablish, and accept incoming file in your mobile phone, which will be recieved in your "message inbox" as any SMS Short Message.

Unlikely again, there is no way to send software from a mobile phone to another through bluetooth without installing first a software specifically designed for it.


Alternatively you can use a Data Cable that connects your Mobile Phones to your computer.

Use Sync Software supplied by your Mobile Phones maker to send files to your Mobile phone as Nokia PC Suite or similar.

If your mobile does not provide one, you can buy one from your manufacturer, keeping in mind they are not standard, so for nokia phones you should use a "DKU_2 Data cable", Motorola ones use usb to mini usb data cables and so on.


Last consider Memory cards that allows you to copy files from you computer into the card memory as a floppy disk, and simply insert the memory card in your Mobile Phones slot.

You can also move the file from the memory card to your Mobile phone´s internal memory, so that it will always be there.

Memory cards for cell phones are something of non standards, so if you want to buy one be sure to ask for one for your especific mobile phone maker and model.

You can find Bluetooth adapters and memory cards readers in most computer and electronics stores.


Emailing toyour mobile phone, you can send you a email with file attached to it, but it is not recomended as you will be charged for internet conections by your mobile operator, which today is quite expensive.


The second main alternative is to install software directly to your mobile phone without using a computer.

We can not recomended it as you will be charged for internet conections by your mobile operator, quite of an expensive solution.

Follow this steps:
Connect your mobile phones to internet to direct download, through a web browser, and send from another mobile phone a SMS Short Message with the link to internet where the file you wish to install is located.

Note to Avoid: Sending Premium SMS to any service, but be carefull as it is probable you need several for a single download at a high cost or worst to suscribe and pay daily, wich can be very difficult to unsuscribe.
