To get MXit working on your Samsung i600, you will firstly need to get correct internet settings for your phone. Please contact your network service provider's customer care and ask them to send you suitable internet settings for your phone.

Once your phone's internet setup is correct, please download MXit:

1. Using your phone's default wap browser, go to http://m.mxit.com
   
2. Download the version of MXit for the Samsung i320.

Once the download has completed, open MXit from your phone's applications / games menu. If MXit isn't listed in your phone's applications / games menu, look for a midlet manager application / JVM on your phone. If you find a midlet manager application / JVM, open it and run MXit from within it.

Hello.

I have read & tried all of that & I get as far as this file cannot be viewed on the device when I click on normal download.

I cannot find anywhere where it says java or the midlet application file & I have checked my MTN GPRS settings are correct that I can see.

Sorry this is also for the sansung i600

Regards & at a loss

I have the same problem and tried all that but still also gives me that the page is not supported!! Please i think we all are desperate to have our mxit working on our phones!! So we can chat awaay! :lol: :lol:

Unfortunately the Samsung SGH i600 does not ship with a JVM and as such does not run Java midlets so Mxit will not run on the i600.
A free JVM is also not available from Java Sun for mobile phones as this is only sourced out to mobile phone manufacturers. You will have to see if you can source a 3rd party JVM to install on the i600. I managed to get it done using the IBM JVM which is available from their developer website:

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/zones/wireless/weme_eval_runtimes.html

The download is in the region of 60 m/b. Installation must be done manually using ActiveSync 'Explore Smartphone' option under tools and involves creating directories and copying files across to the mobile.

Hi,

i checked out the ibm website u gave on your thread, but u cant download the jvm unless u are registered with ibm and have an ibm number.
so that doesnt help anybody.
are u saying that we shouldnt bother buying an i600, because we are not going to be able to use mxit on it, unless we are programmers and know exactly what we doing, and have access the right progammes.

Surely mxit should be able to provide its users with the correct jvm, making it simple to download, and simple to install. is that not good service?
instead of giving links we cannot download from, with obscure half instructions on how to load it.

Disappointed, Mate

anybody can register and download the JVM. I did and have no affiliation with IBM.



I gave the link as I have researched the JVM - I have no affiliation with MXit. The JVM does have instructions included as to how to install it on the smartphone.

I have not been successful in installing Mxit as the download from this site only gives the JAD file. The JVM requires the JAR file to install the applet. Running the JAD file in the JVM gives an error as the JAR file is no longer available from the Mxit link in the Jar file.

Ok,so i got mxit to work on my i600, after hassling it for a week.......if u want the info on how to get it installed...email me on thejuannes@gmail.com . the JVM im using is not 60mb, only bout 2mb, so........what i'll do is anyone who wants it on their i600.....email me and i'll forward u the necesarry files......and this'll all come at a price of only R500!!!!! hahahahahaha....just kiddin...i'd be glad to help, i've got all the files necessary on my pc....so come on im waiting for the emails.



mxit team..i think you should employ me for gettin this to run on an i600...

Firstly, i must apologize to Limbo. sorry mate, i thought u worked for Mxit.
and thejuannes, u a superstar! theres gonna be lotsa love for u, when the i600 owners read your thread. well done!

No probs, I also got it to run just now using the IBM JVM. You have to d/load the whole file to get the runtime which is transferred to the phone - unless it is available elsewhere - and use the 'other' option on mxit's site when specifying your fone for the Mxit applet.

kool thejuannes :lol: - Very bad of Samsung not to include the JVM on the phone though.

I seem not to get it right followed the steps but somewhere i am stuffing up! somebody care to help me!!! :cry: :cry:

:roll: Ok there seems to be some confusion as well, there is two Samsung i600's out there....

:!: One is the Samsung i600 - http://www.mobiletechreview.com/samsung_i600.htm

The other is the Samsung SGH-i600 (aka black jack)

Ok so I have the "blackjack", great phone but no Java. I have tried to install using the above procedure but no luck!!! :?:

MXIT please assist or do something, you know we have got so use to relying on mxit and it's services which are great!! Now no support and quite frankly i don't see a solution here. I know you guys are growing at an enourmous rate.... Remember Quality not quantity! :idea:

that might be the reason mine is also did not work as i have the samsung sgh i600 blackjack!

and i agree that mxit admin must try and help us out somehow to get this problem sorted so please guys we are desperate!!

Got mxit to work on the samsung i600 blackjack. I installed the ibm jvm on the phone. then downloaded the mxit jad ( phone: samsung model: other) file to my pc, then send it to my phone(under a mxit folder in my documents) . then open jvm emulator, install. url: file:///My Documents/mxit/*****.jad (***** is the jad file name) and mxit installed.

Its a basic mxit, so no sound and no skins supported. hope they bring the right one out for the blackjack

i have tried that but it says application not compatible?
