I just did a cold reboot and it suddenly started working. Try that.

It seems that most people are getting it to work, but for those having problems, I've been using Tao's Intent MIDlet Manager to run GMail mobile (and certain other java apps) without problems.

Might want to give it a shot for anyone that is having problems.

If 2.5 megs is too much to spare, I know for sure the older version (v10) works fine with gmail mobile as well.

Can some one post a nice step by step tutorial for the 700wx showing shortcuts for Gmail Email. I hate going through the emulator every time...


Thanks!

Unforunately I don't think there's a way to create a shortcut that will launch GMail's Java applet automatically.

See its working amazing for me, my only problem is EVERYTIME i want to log in I have to enter username/password. I have clicked the remember my login option but it doesnt seem to want to. and i have no clue on how to correct that and it gets quite old putting it in EVERY time.lol.

How can you fix the security issue if you are using the "Intent Java Midlet Manager?" Its the java MM that's included in the Kirvin's Clean and Simple. I'm having the darndest time trying to fix it so it doesn't make me confirm its a midlet I want to use each time. Is there anyway I can apply this security file to this midlet manager?

Well actually it does. If you make the shortcut like the instructions in the 1st post says, then go to the Windows\start menu\programs directory, you go to the shortcut, hold the the stylus or whatever to bring up the menu and go to properties. Then go to the shortcut tab (the shortcut path is already there), then add the comment after the target. Mine looks like this:

"\Storage Card\bin\emulator.exe" "-Xjam:run=1" (spaces included)

That should work, with whatever directory the emulator.exe file is located, just put the space after the path, then add: "-Xjam:run=1" (using 1 assuming it's the 1st app in the midlet program)

I hadn't tried any other methods to get Gmail to work directly on the phone... but this method worked great for me! I was a little confused about the shortcut business... but what Steb0ne wrote is exactly right.
