i have a nokia 3155i
the specs says that the max jar size supported is 500 k, i didn't know that and recently i tried to install the oxford dictionary which is a jar around ~7megs. i transferred the jar successfully onto the device using nokia pc suite 6.84
now when i try to open the apps folder (Extras->Collections) the mobile freezes up (stuck in the "Opening..." screen), and i have to restart the mobile. the dictionary does not show up in pc suite either. its just there occupying 7 out of the humble 12 m the phone has.
is there any way i can remove the unusable app and free up the memory?
all other functionality is intact, i can run/install/uninstall other java apps in the games section (Extras->Games). and even while the mobile freezes i can answer incoming calls.
thanks in advance

Hi mzzzzb! Welcome to Nokia Developer discussion Boards!! :)

Have you tried to remove/delete the application from the Phone ? Is it showing any error message ? Please make sure that you are using the version of the application which is intended for your phone.

Hi,

Just to add to what Gopal advised. It is strange for me because if it has a size of 7MB, it should not have installed. The memory specs are:

Memory:
Heap size: 2 MB
Shared Memory for Storage: 11 MB
Max JAR Size: 500 KB

So the only thing I can think about is if there is a bug on its AMS/JAM implementation, which in turn I doubt.

Br,

thank you guys for your prompt response
yes the phone has an uninstall feature; i have to get to the list of apps and Options-> Delete, but the mobile freezes before it can show the list of installed apps. java apps are categories as Games and Collections. i downloaded the jar into the collections group, which i cannot open(stuck in the "Opening..." screen). i can however open, run and add/remove apps in the games group from the phone as well as a PC(using MobiMB browser)

i doubt the app is correctly installed, what i am sure is its using up space :(

The memory status shows
Total Memory: 12502 kB
Free Memory: 1872 kB
Used Memory: 10630 kB

the gallery occupies about 2 MB

PS This MobiMB browser populates the list in the apps folder, there are three entries the offending app- dictionary, and two others which were there originally, but i can't remove any.

are there other 'mobile file browser' tools compatible with 3155?
may be i can install such browser in the phone and manually remove the app? i also tried mobyexplorer but couldn't find the app.

i am quite new to mobile apps; i heard this phone supported MDIP 2.0, i don't know what that means :) and the app was MDIP as well so i thought i should give a try :)

If you are in need of removing the app and you dont find any another way, give a try with Restore Factory Settings. Please make sure to back up all your personal data and contacts before restoring to factory settings.

nope tried that (settings->restore factory settings) only ringtones and the like were restored, even contacts were untouched. :(
