sophone help about language, music and internet. (English)

[sophonizer]

hallo,
I have been trying to understand some german threads, but it is very difficult... So I apologize if the topic has been discussed before, I couldn't find any english version.

I bought a sophone and would like some basic help about the things mentioned above:
I downloaded opera mini but i dunno where to put it to make it work.

1-The keyboard is only in chinese or english with normal letters, but I would love to have å ø æ as well, even ö ä would make it better.

2-I can't manage to make my mac read the sophone when connected, is there a trick or something?

3- Last but not least, I downloaded some music from my job-PC but I don't know how to put the covers on, so they will show in the ipod application.

that was a loads of question, I hope some of you can answer,

Thank you very much in advance!

1. That won't work.

2. Probably only via Bluetooth, Macs don't like MTK-Phones.

3. You need to put a "music.jpg" picture into each of your album folders.

 

[sophonizer]

thank you so much! that worked actually!
do you know how I can fix internet/browser? I downloaded opera mini but when I unzipped it I got many files, have no idea what to do with them.

 

[ColonelZap]

You should't upack it, it should be just ONE *.jar file.

 

[sophonizer]

ok,
I managed to connect through bluetooth, I sent both bolt.jar and opera.jar files to the phone.
they are in the "received files" folder, when I click on one of them it says error...
Sorry for bothering like this, I wish I could sort this out by myself...

 

[ColonelZap]

I don't know Maybe you should move them somewhere else on your SD card and then try to install them from there?

 

[Petteri]

There is a trick....if you push the .jar file there comes "error"...thats right.....BUT you must NOW push on the Options Button on Header Left! so it starts.....tricky but works....

 

[sophonizer]

I managed to install it

I'll tell you how I did, in case someone else has the same trouble.
In the "received files" folder I created a new folder named "browser" then I could click on the .jar file and right after on the options button on the header, and it suddenly worked!

Now I got one more problem... the covers on my ipod list are gone, I can see the files in the folders, but there's no cover on the ipod app. I can play all the songs though. I really hope to get this phone to work at 100%, it seems solid and has a nice flow, but some instructions would be nice to have...

 

[ColonelZap]

Maybe you need to refresh the list?

 

[sophonizer]

I already tried that
There must be something tricky here, yet simple...
Today I fooled a friend, he tought it was the real iphone4

 

[ColonelZap]

Did your phone come with some music already on it? Westlife for example? If so, take a look what format the music.jpg has and try to make your own pictures similar to the pixel and kb size.

 

[sophonizer]

That is actually a good idea, but the problem is that I deleted all the music... Do you have a sophone yourself? if so maybe you could tell me?

 

[Loonix]

hmm, on the i68+ and so on the name was 'folder.jpg' if i recall right
and it had to be quite small (80x80 or something like that)

 

[ColonelZap]

Here's an example:

 

[sophonizer]

I will give it a try and I will write here what happened

 

[sophonizer]

ok, I tried to do like ths:
with the file music.jpg you sent me I can see the cover in the cover flow, but with the files I put there I couldnt. Now I wonder what's special about this file, it must be 300x300 and maybe must be 30kb. I will try again with some other files and let you know.

 

[ColonelZap]

I really can't tell you what the problem is? So far I could use pretty much ANY picture, I didn't even worry about the correct format.

Good luck

 

[sophonizer]

ok, I found out how
there's no problem using big pictures, but you have to rename them "music" and put them in the right folder. For example if in my music list I have a folder named "Michael Jackson -Thriller" I just put the cover in that folder and then I rename it "music", then it works.
I found out when I saw your file, so thank you!!

 

[ColonelZap]

so thank you!!

You're welcome

Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough when I wrote

3. You need to put a "music.jpg" picture into each of your album folders.

 

[sophonizer]

AHH, that's what you meant.... well I finally got it now the coverflow looks like a real IPHONE, wonderful!
