In class me and my friends often send messages to eachothers mobile phone using bluetooth during class,
However a few downsides are that some mobiles can only send calendar messages, some don't show the sender, it's pretty slow, etc.
So I decided to write a Java Application that will make this chatting easier
The plan is to make a simple chatbox, in which everyone can participate, much like the msgplus IRC-channel, but then in class
I'm even considering having all mobiles send out each recieved message to increase the range:
Like Frank, Ben and Tom are in the classroom, Ben can reach Frank and Tom via bluetooth, but Frank and Tom are too far apart to reach eachother. If Frank sends out a message, and Ben receives it, Ben will send along the message so that Tom gets it too. If a lot of people use it in your school, this could enable you to chat with people in a classroom at the other side of the school (although it will be pretty slow )

So how am I progressing?
At the moment, I have a simple chat program that I tested only on the emulator.
It's far from finished, messages sent quickly after eachother get lost, but at least It's a start

If you would like to test it, you can
I've attached both the jad and jar files to this post
For information on how to upload jar and jad files to your phone, use google It differs too much per phone

EDIT:
Attachment removed, latest version can from now on be found at http://files.stuffplug.com/btchat/

I installed it on my phone (Motorola v600) and it just gave me an application error Sounds like a really cool program tho, i'll deff be using it when it works for me

Mind telling me what application error?

It just says: Application Error. It doesnt give any specific code or anything sorry.

Works fine here on my nokia 6630 (well I cant test it with someone else yet....tomorrow i will)



screenshot time:

Hmmm, that's odd, those text are supposed to be under eachother

They appear near each other also for me (Nokia 6260)

works on my SE K750i and on that the text is under each other   i just need someone to try it with now lol

This looks promising. Makes me want to get rid of my crappy phone for one which supports BlueTooth (and video recording )

I'm no expert but couldn't you just host it then download it? Would it automatically set up?

I have a Sony Ericsson T630:

I transfered the jar file first via infrared.
After the transfer was completed, my mobile phone was saying "Saving..." and after that it just said "Invalid Application"
I also tried transfering the jad file first, my phone accepted it, then tried transfering the jar file, and it still said "Invalid Application"

I also have a Nokia () 6230 but i dont know how to transfer it...
Oh, i remember now, Nokia has an application installer...

It's supposed to work with all phones supporting MIDP2.0 with Bluetooth/OBEX (JSR 82)
I've just finished a small fix, this new version will queue messages if another message is in transit. You can get it at http://files.stuffplug.com/btchat/
This will allow you to also install it if your phone only supports installation trough WAP.
Please bear in mind though that I make no garantuee on the stability of my server, and if a WAP download fails and it costs you money, Irt's your own responsibility...

It's the latest version of java Midlets (applications for phone),
Bluetooth isn't available on MIDP1.0, so if you have bluetooth, you've almost certainly got MIDP2.0

I don't have the slightest idea, sorry...
I suggest you ask around on some Sony Ericsson forums...

it works on my SE phone, how are you getting it on your phone?

I myself simply put it on my memorycard and install, install using the PC-Suite from Nokia (which is currently broken, however ), or download it using WiFi
I did notice that the JAD file doesn't work on my phone though...
Does it work on other phones?

It just comes up a load of symbals for the jar. one and words for the gad. one

I suggest you google for:
"Install jar <your phone>"
or
"Install jad <your phone>"

I fixed the JAD file too btw
was a simple typo

works!

thanks for the app, sending to a bunch of friends right now. Way to bo TB.

I'm having a Samsung D500, and I tryed this and this tut.. but it doen't work!

When I'm using this tut:
I can't click on


And when I use this tut:
This happens: "If you do see the progress bar but the phone freezes for a couple of seconds and then it reboots itself, it may mean that the connection is all right, but the Softick PPP is not actived or your device is not ticked in settings."

PLZZ HELP ME!!!!!

Sony Ericsson T630, Sony Ericsson Z600, and, Sony Ericsson T610, all have Bluetooth, and Java support, but MIDP 1.0, not MIDP 2.0.

This means that Java applications aren't able to access many functions such as camera, internet, and Bluetooth, which is the problem in this case.

These are useful webpages for those who own one of these phones:

Is there seriously no one who can help me? because everyone says this tut works for D500 java upload things. But Maybee there is someone who can tell me How I
can enable this:



becaus this is what happens to me:



Can any one help me whith how I can enable this

Sorry for bumping this 5-months old thread...

I installed this on a friend's Sony Ericsson K750 (latest firmware version I think).
It installed fine, however, when I open the application, I can't send the message.

There is a textbox to type your message, however, I find a way to send the message.


Tommorow, I will try with a K700, and tell if it there is a way to send the message.

For those who tried it with your K750, how do you send the message?

By the way, the feature that sends the message to the receiver that BT can't reach using a receiver that BT can reach is not implented yet eh?



Kinda-offtopic: The site's MIME types should be changed about JAR and JAD files: I tried visiting the site with the phone, and all I was getting was text!


Sorry for asking so many questions...

If you look for a good (and free chat software for your phone, try SubliMobi bluetooth chat (http://www.sublimobi.com).

Does anybody have this program? The original link is dead , and now I have a phone (that should be) capable of running it.

Why did it take me 2 years to find this ;<

/me downloads

Great it it works!!!

Dead link

Hmm, similar program:
http://www.mulliner.org/bluetooth/btchat/
http://www.mulliner.org/bluetooth/btchat/screenshots.php

Mirror: http://www.bluejackingtools.com/unix/btchat/

Note - The K700i, although it has Bluetooth and MIDP2, does not support the Java MIDP Bluetooth extensions. The K750i does.

I can imagine this is what is causing a lot of errors for people with older SE (and other manufacturers) models.

I installed my Bluetooth drivers on my laptop except the FNHW keeps crashing while coping btaudio.sys... I always said I loved Windows...
