You can upgrade your firmware (there's 3 kind of firmware : Flash (contains S/W, usually end by XXR. Example : 34R, 96R, 95R, 97R, 98R), Flex (contains flex, example 7CXXXXX, 7FXXXXX, GSKEXXXXXX, GIKEXXXXXXX) and JAVA (contains JAVA Application and basic programs). I've upgrade my firmware to 98R and GIKE (the newest firmware out there) and it's stable. The menu is now faster than before especially for typing SMS. I've all programs you need to upgrade that. just email me. Before upgrade backup all your data because that will be erased. For more information go to Howard Forum (there's a lot of other's stuff and info too).

.sis is a symbian os program
java isnt an os like symbian, its a sub-program, so u cant run that kind of programs on it, so yeah, it'a a silly questin.
u need to get PST 4.7 and midway program in order to upload java apps in your phone, they r not readable from t-flash memory card.
.jad and .jar are both needed for upload, the jad file is like path to the jar...

To arjains. What firmware do you have because upgrading to 95R and or higher and 7F will increase your speed.
Note: 97R and 98R are not yet stable.
Do a search to find out more on how to do this.

I just tried some mp4 files. Only the files that came with mpt worked. (Only one has sound)I downloaded an mp4 but it didn’t work on the phone. Mp4 files are very large for the length/quality. I would just keep with 3gp. I have a converter that hasn’t made a corrupt file the phone couldn’t play. It's called imTOO 3gp converter give it a try.
I haven’t had any 3gp movies freeze on me yet. I use imTOO 3gp converter and have 95R &f firmware.
To load java apps try the same way to add java games. Go settings > java settings > java app loader. If you don’t have that follow this website on how to upload java apps.

AFAIK there isn’t a java camcorder for this phone only flashing to v620 firmware.

This phone is awesome!! For its price, this is definitely a bargain. It comes with datacable already and has bluetooth. Its speakers sound great plus it has a free 64mb transcard. What more can you ask for? As for their complaint on the speed...hello!!! Its only split seconds slower than any other phone so its negligible. As for the problems connecting with the computer, just try again, it works. You guys just probably dont know how to operate it.

Hi Shaneus, Thanks for your prompt reply !
Q1 : Mine has 096R which I heard very stable for making e398 a removable drive, so I use windows explorer. I hardly use MPT & Magix since they're slow in loading apps and transferring files. Also mp4 files which playable in MPT video editor can't be played in e398. It happened twice when I cut&paste (win explorer) 1.5Mb mp4 files to e 398 & when I use Magix to transfer 4 mp3's.
Q2. One other thing about this subject, 3gp I played freeze every few secs, is it due to low memory buffer? Can we expand it?
Q3. I put java apps. I copied it to T-Flash since I can't directly access phone memory, but it's unrecognizable from e398 display.
Q4. I read s'where that we can add camcorder function to Symbian-based phone like Nokia & Sony ericsson and just have wild idea that perhaps there's also a MIDP camcorder for java-based phone....well...it is a stupid question after all.....

I am no expert and don’t claim to be. I try to help as much as I can but I do get sick of people asking question that have been answered numerous amounts of time. BEFORE ASKING A QUESTION PLEASE USE THE SEARCH TO SEE IF IT HAS BEEN SOLVED!
To Q1.I have only ever had that once and that was when I dropped and dragged 3 mp3's into the audio folder. I didn’t have to reformat the t flash. How often does this happen and what are you transferring, also what program are you using removable drive, MPT ect.
Q2 I haven’t put mp4 files onto my phone only 3gp. Sorry for not being able to help with this ill try some mp4 files tomorrow.
Q3 Are you putting java apps or java games onto your phone?
Q4 I don’t understand this question. Are you trying to get video recording on your phone using a java application? If you want a "camcorder" the only way I no to achieve this with the E398 is to flash to v620 firmware. This will result in loss of TFlash and the camcorder has no sound.
