How to Transfer Games to Samsung Phones A737 and A736

Chris Jones
For most phones, you can simply send a game file (in .jar or .jad format) directly to the phone via Bluetooth or a USB cable. However, for the Samsung a737 (and cousin phone a736), you cannot do this. The provider has put a lock on the phone. The reason for this is fairly obvious since the service provider can make more profit through selling games. This guide will tell you how to obtain games and transfer them onto your phone:

Where to find games for Samsung a737 (a736)

To find the best games, you definitely need to visit www.umnet.com. You can find free games, ringtones, wallpapers, themes, and other java applications (apps). It is a great resource to use if you want to transfer files to your Samsung a737 (a736). This is without a doubt the best way to personalize your cell phone.

Transferring the Games to your Samsung a737 (a736)

Because of the manufacturer lock, which there is currently no other bypass for, you will need to download the file directly from an internet link. If you can access a WAP link from your cell phone, you will be able to download the file and it will go directly to the game folder and run perfectly. In addition to the WAP method, you can also find the link directly, which is sometimes available at www.umnet.com.

Best way to load Java games on the Samsung a737 (a736)

Load the game or games onto a hosting website such as http://hostj2me.com. Make an account and upload the jar or jad files and download the games by entering the URL in your phone. You can also use tinyurl.com to shorten the URL into an easier and more manageable one so you can enter on your phone.

Cost

I am afraid that using this method is the only one currently available to owners of Samsung a737 (a736) who want to transfer games to their cell phone. This method of transferring games will cost a bit since your service provider will charge you for the data usage. However, this is still much cheaper than purchasing the full version phone from your service provider. Furthermore, the money you save will add up after a couple of games.

Many owners of the Samsung a737 (a736) like yourself and myself certainly hate not having access to many functions of our cell phone. If you are like me, you will want to customize your phone to your needs and add extra features such as games or other java apps. If there are any other methods, I will most certainly post them. Finally, if there are any questions, please contact me via Associated Content.
