Hi, I recently got myself this phone -

The Motorola L7.
Before anyone makes any remark it is the CHEAPEST phone I could find which wasnt a completele piece of shit.
Now, my question is.. does anyone know how to get games to work on it without downloading them from my mobile company for alot of money? They kinda locked the games section out from downloading..

Well on my v3 razr, i would just upload the jar files to the phone with the data cable and would automatically ask me to install it. I assume this phone is java based gaming correct? Assuming you know other means to get the games for free Wink


The night beckons me

Get yourself a free web page that shows uploaded files, put your files there and open it in the phones web browser. Then just download them.

The phone doesnt have a normal webbrowser in the common sense, its sort of what my mobile company lets me browse.. I also dont think the L7 can open HTML pages?

Well, I didn't just write the shit above out of my head so of course it does open SIMPLE homepages where there's nothing accept the directory listing with files.

p.s. even 2003 series 55 Siemenses open web pages Wink

So what you are basiclly saying is to copy the games to my mobile with a webpage supposingly allowing me to download them.. and then it will install it on my mobile?
Considering I am a complete noob, how do I open a webpage on my mobile considering there is no regular files browser on it - only mp3s/vids/pics browser?

1. Upload ringtones, games (.JAR files) and wallpapers (JPG) to a webpage
2. Make sure those files show up as downloadable when you open that page
3. In the phone's menu -> WebAccess -> Go to URL:


4. Type in your webpage
5. Download whatever you want from there

MP3s will be autmatically stored in the Sounds folder, JPGs in Pics and it will ask you if you want to install the JAR games

Hope that helps

I dont have such web access, the only "web" it gives me is what my mobile company "gives" my phone. there is no freedom to type in addresses.. and even if there was, connecting to the internet through the mobile costs so fucking much..
Is there any way to do it through bluetooth or USB cable?

USB cable, just download a couple programs, you might want to try different versions, some don't work properly, i've got a Motorola V3X and these worked for me.

Motomidman (Moto MIDlets Installer): Installs and manages Java based aplications, along with other features

If you want to go further:

P2KTools
P2KCommander
LeaderGL Flex Editor
Skinner4Moto

Many more advanced features, you can acess your phone, edit settings (as the volumes, which suck), copy the JAD files to the phone and install later, change skins, etc

Try some sites like ModMyMoto, Motomodders and so on, they're really helpful

EDIT: Motorola phones use a very customizable, Linux-like OS, if you're not happy with your operator settings (or other features), try changing the whole thing, there are monster packs around which change everything

Don't mess with the stuff Kapuxino mentioned - it's too complicated and you brick (kill) the phone easily.

Use bluetooth ot even IRDA (infra-red port). A USB bluetooth dongle should cost about 5 bucks.

Dude, just use the data cable it came with and upload the files with Motorola Phone Tools. No need to do other complicated shit.

I dont think you understand, I can put files on the phone.. but not games.. the games section has been locked up so i could only get games (and pay alot of money for them) from my phone company
and Vodka-Redbull, thats the 3rd Gen phone I could find.. so ill stick with it

Some companies lock the phones, so you just can't put games on them. Only thing you can try is getting an unbranded firmware. You can do this yourself with some mobiles over the data cable (Siemens for example), for others you will need to go to a store.
If you still got warranty and there is a newer firmware out, just tell them you have got problems with the phone and want it updated, then they'll do it for free.

With Moto and an inexperienced user this will most likely end in a bricked phone.
