I’ve just found out another interesting application today for the Samsung Champ. It is an application used to create and convert text files into mobile books. The app is called QiC and the generated file is of a JAR format, which is the common format on every JAVA-enabled cellphone available.

To generate the JAR file,

1. Simply create a text file (in .txt file format) of the text you would want to convert.
2. Open this link and click the Choose file button to select the text file.
3. Click the Create button and then transfer the output Jar file to your mobile phone. It should be installed.

Here is what the application would look like:

Overall, I find this app very useful in converting Mtg articles which I can read whenever I’m on travel or offline. Its very good, aside from being free to dl so I very much recommend you install this one in your phone.

Until next post and have a happy weekend.

I’ve been using my Samsung Champ for about a month now and so far I’ve been getting a hang of the features. I am not actually a fan of touch screen phones but since my Internet provider offered me a free gadget on their retention program, the phone is too good not to choose as a freebie. This phone seems to be the latest of the release of Samsungs’ products (I think this one was last November 2010) so I get to find a few fresh tricks online on utilizing the phone.

One site in particular, Symbianize.com, posted tips and tricks about Samsung Champ. I’ve listed below a specific post from forum master krizero. The site by the way is exclusive for Filipino users so I had to change and translate a few of the text of the post.

JAVA Permission Security

It is caused by an error on the deleted file Open source announcement.html. That’s why the “always allowed” option for the opera mini and other java apps installed cannot be selected. The solution is to download the file by clicking here and then remove the .zip. Add Spaces on Each word(Open source announcement.html) and after renaming, put this on your Others Folder in the phone Memory.

“Jar File is Over Max Size”

Open your keypad then dial *#52828378#. Go to 06 OTA test then change the value of Maximum JAR size(KB) to 2000. This will change the max size of the jar file that is allowed to install.

Java error

Open your keypad then dial *#52828378#. Go to 05 Memory test then change the value of Java Heap(KB) to 2000 and the value of MIDP Heap(KB) to 2360.

*Take note that everytime the phone turn off/restarts, the values are goin back to default value so you have to repeat this steps again.

Free Internet?

This is the best I’ve discovered so far though the process is quite hard to discuss here so I’ll just give you the link to the thread. Click here
