J2ME and phones - help please -

Hi, all. I haven't found much help related to this question, so I'm hoping you all might be able to help me.
I'm looking into developing for mobile phones. I haven't played with J2ME so much at the moment but I'm on my way. I've got my resources and by the end of this summer I hope to have jumped on that band wagon.
Here's the scenario: I want to be able to write programs on my PC via the wireless toolkit (I use netbeans). Then I'd like to be able to connect my mobile phone to my PC via USB or Serial cable and upload my programs direct from my PC to my mobile. I'd like to not have to verify the program through BREW or any other online service because AFAIK I have to pay for that. I'm a poor student who's just making enough money to buy a Java enabled cell-phone by the end of this summer.
Here's the question: What should I look for in a phone?
My first choice of phone was a Sony Ericsson, I'm assuming it's got direct PC-Mobile transfer enabled. Second was a Nokia. Unfortunately, no carriers around here, at least the ones I'd buy from, carry either of those two phones. I did find an LG 6070. But like I said before, I don't really know what I'm looking for. No-where does the documentation explicitely say anything about direct PC-to-Mobile transfers, and that is what is most important to me.
Thanks for your help.

Wow, thanks for the reply.
As for the target, it would mostly be just for myself at the moment. I am aware that if I were to target a mass market, there are multiple emulators out there I'd have to test my program with. And that I'd have to make minor changes, possibly, for phones with different specs, ala amount of memory a phone has or it's screen size/resolution.
You got me, I'm into the games thing, but aren't we all? I'm trying to acquire the book "J2ME Game Programming" this summer. So that answers what kind of applications I'm going to write.
I scoped out a few more phones today and surprisingly, the motorolas actually have some appeal to them.
That's the sweet part, anyone can write anything and deploy it! I'm assuming from your response that any Java enabled phone should allow PC-Mobile transfer.

  • Mail and password: Help please!!!

    I have changed my password and on my iPhone and iPad there is no problem. However, on my iMac, 10.8.2 every time I put the computer to sleep and then wake it up again Mail tells me to verify my password. I press OK but it refuses to accept and I am forced to go to System Preferences, then mail where I press OK for the same password and the whole thing then works.
    In Yahoo it works perfectly!
    What is happening in Mail. I have deleted the account in preferences and set it up again but all to no avail.
    Help please!!!

    You might try the following steps:
    Restart the device by holding down the on/off button until the power down slider appears.
    Try entering your password in another location (i.e. when you are using a different wifi network)
    Reset all settings (settings > general > reset), this resets some of your settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It does not remove any of your data.
    Try signing out of iCloud and back in (only if find my phone is disabled)
    If this doesn’t help your best option may be to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

  • Adobe Programs: Conflicts and Networking help please

    I don't know if this is the  proper place to post but this is what I'm looking for. Any suggestions,  thoughts or help would greatly be appreciated.
    We  are researching the possibility of using an outside IT Consultant for  our computers and Adobe Software. Our IS team (about 10 people), while  very good with networking PCs, are not familiar with Adobe software and  how they interact with the hardware/computers and networks.
    We  have been struggling for a few years to get our machines to be at their  best performance and efficiency, especially on large tradeshow  graphics. We have had crashes and glitches since CS3, but we understand  that their are many variables and they are not just Adobe product  issues.
    We  are a large company but have only 3 designers. So we are trying to find  our own help and do some of our own research on a resolution.
    We  are looking for someone who is PC mainly, but if you have a  recommendation for anyone that networks macs also that would be great.  We are currently on PCs with hopes of someday moving to macs.
    If anyone knows of any business or independent contractor in the North Central Florida area please let me know.

    We contacted Adobe but they said they can only give over the phone help and will not refer us to anyone.

  • JSP and Servlet - help please

    Hello,
    I am making this feedback for fun and a bit of learning too. I have an INDEX.JSP page, where the user selects the very first option. Depending upon the selected option he is moved another page PRODUCTFEEDBACK.JSP (so far I have completed this). Here as usual there are many fields to be filled in. As a spams protection i have done this;
    I have a AdditionClass, which is a seperate class where two number are generated at random. This numbers are called by PRODUCTFEEDBACK.JSP. The user is then asked to perform the addition. The completed form is then sent to ProductFeedback servlet.
    When I compile my PRODUCTFEEDBACK.JSP I get this error. Can you please tell whats wrong?

  • After effects and photoshop ,,,help please

    hi all
    can anybody help please.
    ive been making a short film with my son and putting some basic effects in, just for a laugh.
    i noticed an effect on ADOBE TV that was done by Gareth Edwards in his movie MONSTERS which i thought would be good to try out in my film but i carnt get it right,,
    here is the link to that effect...            http://tv.adobe.com/watch/customer-stories-video-film-and-audio/monsters/
    its the effect where he changes the menu board in a cafe to one of his infected area signs, he allso changes a few other signs.
    in the video he say that he exports a still frame from after effects into photoshop and puts on his image {with a few tweaks her and there}, when hes got it ok in photoshop ,it some how updates in after effects??
    can any please help ,thank you

    It's a simplified explanation of the process.  He left out explanations of motion tracking and perspective matching that were most certainly required for the shot being discussed.
    If you are doing the same process to a static, locked off shot, with no foreground objects passing in front of your sign, it would be very possible to create a single frame in Photoshop and just layer it over your scene in AE.  But once the camera moves, you will need to understand Motion Tracking.  If objects pass in front of the replaced component, you will need to understand Masking.

  • Email password problems and phone help so usless.

    So fed up with BT.
    Last week I was forced to change my password over and over and over and over.
    'We've detected some unusual activity on your email account.......'
    Which everyone on this forum knows is rubbish, and is just some glitch that BT cannot sort out. Its been going on for years.
    The fall out from this is that although I can now recive mail I cannot send it in Windows Live mail.
    BT operator tells me they have no training for Windows Live Mail and cannot help me. Thats it apparently, I've got to like it or lump it. Thanks BT.
    Isn't Windows Live Mail one of the most popular email programs out there?

  • When I try to sync my I phone 4 to my mac air it won't show up only my iPad not the phone help please

    When I try to sync my iphone to Itunes on my mac air ti will not come up
    My ipad works ok but not the phone help please

    Hello Canonball,
    It sounds like your iPhone is not showing in iTunes so it will not sync, but your iPad works fine. If you have already restarted your phone, (Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset, http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430), I recommend the troubleshooting from the following article named:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591
    Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Restart your Mac.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • J2ME and Webservices Help! Please!!!

    Hi guys, I would really like some of you're expert views and experiences with this topic.
    I basically need to access my Oracle database via a PDA or smartphone device.
    From researching the web and other resources, I think that the way to do this is to create a webservice and link it up to my Midlet.
    The only problem is, I do not know how and also, I am unsure of how to use SOAP and WSDL documents, I have read over:
    http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-08-2002/jw-0823-wireless.html?page=6

    http://developers.sun.com/techtopics/mobility/midp/articles/webservices/
    and I am still confused, I have tried to search for tutorials and also sample programs etc -.- but I haven't got anywhere with this.
    Can anyone please help? I need to know the code in order for my Midlet to link up to the WSDL file or generate it?!? and then, how that will interact with the webservice to send and retrieve data from the database.
    any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated, thanks for reading.

  • I can't register my PIN and IME (HELP PLEASE)

    I really need your help guys, I bought a Blackberry 8520 from black market. It's brandnew because it sealed and complete with accesories. The seller told me that the unit was free from Sun Cellular and was sell to him buy the previous owner. The unit is already openline/unlocked already. I'm using a smart sim card but when I tried to register my unit to https://smart.blackberry.com I got an error that my unit is suspended or deactivated. I can use Wifi via hotspot browser but when I tried to use a facebook or twitter application I got an error "Your are currenty on the data plan service, contact your service provider to upgrade your data plan". I think the previous owner (which I don't know) is not paying his bill. Now I contact suncellular and as per them when the owner not paid their bills they only block the sim card and not the phone. As per them it might be the blackberry is blocking my connectivity.  How can I register my PIN again? My phone is total useless.

    You can't. Once the device PIN/IMEI has been suspended or deactivated, it can't be removed. You've probably purchased a stolen as lost BlackBerry, as stated above. Only the original carrier who suspended the PIN and can remove it, you would need to contact them.
    You need to get your money back from the seller, obviously they lied to you.

  • New to iCloud and need help please with getting it working

    I've got an iPad 2 and an iPhone 5 and have decided that it's about time to set up iCloud on my devices. I have followed the instructions on the website and in the icloud settings on both devices have switched on mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, safari, notes, photostream (my photo stream-on), documents and data, find my iphone, and icloud backup on. I have ensured that both devices have been backed up and automatic downloads on iTunes & App stores have all been switched on.
    I have not yet set up my PC for iCloud.
    My understanding is that icloud will sync new downloads and photos etc so I have just tried taking a picture on my iphone, expecting it to appear in my camera roll on my iPad and nothing has happened.
    Please can someone advise me if I am doing something wrong or how to resolve this.
    Many thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.
