How to install

Palm OS5 Tréo Smartphone / OS4 PDA
(Palm OS v5 & v4 are
different!)

Cell/Mobile Phones (SymbianOS),
BlackBerry, Motorola, NEC & Sprint Mobiles

Pocket PC/Smartphones with PDA
(WM5/WM6 or Windows Mobile 2003)
  1. For uses of Tréo Smartphone with Palm OS v5 or above (such as palmOne Tréo 650/680/700 smartphones), please install IBM J9 midp v2.0 VM first from Palm.com first.  It's free for its clients.
  2. For OS4 PDA users, please download "midp.prc" and "mobilePK.prc" first separately as described above. Install "midp.prc" first; and then install "mobilePK.prc" to your PDA.  if you use the setup file to install mobilePK for Palm PDA, please click that .prc file twice to automatically install it into your Palm Desktop. Of course, you have to do "Hotsync" to install mobilePK.prc into your palm, no matter which steps you go through. If you don't know how to install these two files into your PDA, please check with the Manual of your PDA.
  1. Use Infrared (IR) or Bluetooth (BT) device to install (or transfer) both files: mobilePK.jar and mobilePK.jad to your cellular phone. Usually only installing mobilePK.jar will be enough.  For some systems, both files may be required.
  2. You cellular phone will ask: 'if you like to install PharmDataTech, Inc., TAIWAN's mobilePK', please answer "Yes" to continue installation.  Then you can delete the message from your cell phone's mailbox or you can keep it for later use.
  3. Find "mobilePK" in your cellular phone; usually it will locate in "Tool/Application" (or something like that) folder.
  4. If you don't know how to install this file to your cellular phone, please check with the Manual of your cellular phone.
  5. For users of BlackBerry Mobile phones,  unzip mobilePK_BB.zip to the same directory to obtain both mobilePK.cod and mobilePK.alx.  Connect your BlackBerry to your PC using a data cable. Once the device is attached, launch the RIM Desktop Manager. Then launch the Application Loader from inside the Desktop Manager.  Click the "Add..." button in the Application Loader and specify an Application Loader File (mobilePK.alx in this case). mobilePK should now appear in the list of items to install. Follow the instructions from there to finish the installation and it should appear on your Blackberry.  We suggest that the most updated BlackBerry Desktop Software should be used together with mobilePK installation.  If it still cannot work, please refer this link to solve your problem. Please note that if you're using a BlackBerry (BB) connected with a corporate BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES), you may not be able to install mobilePK successfully.  This is because that BES IT Security Policy of your company restricts your BB to install any 3rd party application from Desktop Manager Application Loader or OTA.  Ask a trusted administrator about your Company's Blackberry IT Policy.  If the policy is being implemented on your BB you can find it by going to 'Options' / 'Security' and you will see 'IT Policy Name', 'last update etc'.  If you like to do so, you have to tell the BES administrator to remove the restriction first.  Otherwise, you will get error message something like {Error in application information file "C:\tmp\mobilePK.cod": There is an XML syntax error on line 1...} when trying to install mobilePK.  Some our users have already had such problem now.  Here is the information about BES.
  6. For users of Motorola, Sprint or Samsung cell phones, if Bluetooth or IR cannot successfully transfer the .jar or .jad files into your phone (don't get panic; it's just normal. Believe me.), you may need to consider to use some other tools to copy the .jar and/or .jad files into your phone.  MotoDev provides "iDEN Java Application Loader (JAL)" for this purposes.  You can try this if you have a Moto. We have tried P2kCommander (for Windows) and found it works well You can download it from here. For more information, please check the Help website.
  1. Connect your Windows Mobile 2003/WM5/WM6 Device (PocketPC) to your PC and have ActiveSync being ready first.
  2. Run "weme-wm2003-arm-midp20-5.
    7.2-P-20050304-1743.exe" to install IBM WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment MIDP 2.0 for Windows Mobile 2003 to your Pocket PC.   Use ActiveSync to complete the installation of IBM WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment MIDP 2.0.You will find that there are two new icons of "MIDlet HQ" and "Golf Score MIDlet" (a demo game) in your Pocket PC.  If you can see these two icons which means that you have successfully installed IBM WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment MIDP 2.0 for Windows Mobile 2003 into your Pocket PC.  Here is detailed installation guide for "IBM WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment MIDP 2.0 for Windows Mobile 2003".
  3. Run mobilePK_WM.exe and it will install (copy) mobilePK.jar into your PocketPC automatically.
  4. You can find mobilePK.jar or its link in your "Program Files" folder in your PocketPC and just click this file.  Then "MIDlet HQ" will popup and ask if you like to install "mobilePK" etc..   Go through next 2 steps by answering "Yes".  And you will find that "mobilePK v6" appears as one of items in MIDlet HQ.  Select mobilePK and click "Launch" to start mobilePK. After this step, you will no longer need mobilePK.jar.  You even can delete it. Next time you should run mobilePK only from running "MIDlet HQ" first and then "Launch" mobilePK.  That'll be all.
  5. For WM v5 or v6 users (new OS for Pocket PC or smartphone), there is no need to install any JVM as described above (skip above Step 2 & 4).  Use the "MIDlet Manager", which can be found in the "Program Files" to run mobilePK after installation.  We like to recommend that downloading the mobilePK.jar directly from our website is the best way to do it for all these devices (see Download page).  However, if you like to follow the above steps (1-4) to run mobilePK, it should also work well. Please note that WM5/WM6 users (using MIDlet Manager) need to uninstall previously installed mobilePK first, then click installed mobilePK from "Program Group" again to make mobilePK appearing in "MIDlet Manager".  This is a very important step.  You may feel that you repeat the installation twice.  However, the first installation is to copy mobilePK.jar into your "Program Group"; the second step is to install mobilePK.jar as one of JAVA applications.  After these two steps, you only have to run "MIDlet Manager" and select mobilePK to execute, not to run the one (mobilePK) appearing in the "Program Group".  If so, you are going to install mobilePK repeatedly into "MIDlet Manager", though it causes no problem at all.  Hope this can clarify the installation of mobilePK for WM5/WM6 users. Some WM6 may bundle another JVM from Jeodek, AG.  However, the installation process is still the same as WM5.

    Please note that mobilePK for PocketPC will NOT work with IBM WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment Personal Profile 1.0 for Windows Mobile 2003 (IBM J9 JVM).  So you don't have to get this JVM.
