3G Phone software

[DoNotTryToBendTheSpoon]

Just got a 3G phone there today and I am currently bluetoothing pictures and mp3's from my Mac to it. I tried sending a .mpeg but to no avail.

Apparently the phone only reads ".3gp" files for movies. I searched on google but i only found converters for PC's. Anyone know of any converters out there for macs and/or a different solution to the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Not entirely sure of what you are trying to do or what services are engaged on the phone, but if you set the phone up as a gateway for a mobile computer then you will be using internet protocols which can transfer anything to anywhere ~ usual permission allowing.

The phone itself, my well be limited to transferring only what it makes. I was looking into the G3 last year and I tended to dismiss it as its feature set was lower than what I use toady and if used in that capacity would default back to the slower speeds ~ no free lunch as they say, except of course that one continues to pay the G3 rates.

Not entirely sure what an internet protocol is but I do know that the plastics that your phone is made out of is produced in a third world country at slave rates and exported to the country of manufacture. I find this a terrible abuse if human rights and I despise you and all your kind for using the products of slave labour and dictator driven hell holes where the richer get richer and fatcatslike you sit here and spout sanctimonious drivel in an effort to appear condescendingly humanitarion when in fact you are an NAWfull langer altogether.

Howzat for a random and unrelated rant which is off the point and only serves to increase peoples distaste for you?? And which is also founded on complete speculation which is where most of your drivl ppears to have been plucked from...

Those slaves need our money.

We need cheap phones. And we don't have to pass Irish Ferries to see Irish slaves.

So fat* boy how come you didn't make it up to the Gateway..? Barrack street too much for you?...

Seriously... do you know how much money your fat* ass is going to cost the state in years to come?... do the humanitarian thing....

No... don't kill yourself... Go on a diet...

I can send it fine, but it won't play the file once it's on the phone!

Is there any other way of converting to .3gp?

[Persephone]

would it work if you tried saving the mpeg as .3gp before sending it to your phone?

[DoNotTryToBendTheSpoon]

i am shocked at your arrogance for even suggesting that.


For shame....

[Persephone]

ah sure it was only a suggestion im not much of a tech head no offence meant.

.3gp is a new media standard, realplayer can handle it, as can the latest version of quicktime.
If you've got a Nokia, your PC suite should have an application called Media Converter that can handle all that stuff, if not, download PC suite from here:

Lots of other hints n tips for 3G phone, but I'll cover them in another lesson...

of course mplayer users don't have to worry about transcoding them in order to play them.

but if you wanted to, you could simply use transcode, a nice utility for converting between many media formats.

and it's free, unlike quicktime pro or the nokia suite.

these tools work on many platforms. ;) see homepages for details. terms and conditions are nonexistant. use at your own risk.

The Nokia converter is free.
Besides, it should be in the CD package that came with the phone, although if memory serves correctly it can have problems running on macs...
