The OS of this phone has an annoying security bug. It won't let you install .jar files directly.
You need to make an html file along with the .jar file. Here's how you do that:First goto My computers and click on tools on top of the window
Goto Folder options and go on the view tab. Now scroll down to hide extensions for known file types and make sure its UNCHECKED.
this will show all extensions like .html .exe .rar etc after name of file.
Creating an Html File is easy. Just right click anywhere--------> new----->text document.
now copy paste this in the newly created document
<html><body><a href="_______">install _______</a></body></html>
where the _________ is replace with name of the game along with extension (to get correct name right click on .jar file goto properties and copy the title)
eg: for installing opera mini my code will look like this
<html><body><a href="opera.jar">install opera.jar</a></body></html>
where opera.jar is the name of app i want to install
now save the text document and save it as anything.html
Now tranfer this .html file along with .jar to your phone via USB.
Open .html in phone and click on link that appears.
Also to avoid all this you can directly download games/apps with your phone. Or if you have any other cell with bluetooth then you can transfer games on this phone(from PC) and then transfer them to your phone via bluetooth.
This security measure was probably taken to prevent us from installing free 3'rd party apps/games by promoting us to buy games from the samsung store which get installed easily.
