Don't tear your hair due
to faulty J2ME instruments
Like all gadgets mobile software
could get corrupted. There is nothing much a developer can do about this. You
can do any number of work arounds but you come back to square one. There is only
so much a developer can do as the problem is the mobile phone has outlived its
life or had a bad fall from your second floor. Trick is to sit back and analyze
why your application is running well on one mobile phone but acts funny on the
other.
The kind of problems you
might encounter due faulty devices
- Buttons\Commands some
times disappear randomly, This happens when the instrument gets spoiled or
when the instrument cache gets corrupted.
- Within the same model
one handset works properly and another handset freezes. This is because there
can different versions called binaries of the same model.
- Text boxes collapse.
- Application crashes frequently.
Some times these problems
can be addressed by removing the battery of your device for five minutes and
replacing it back. This allows your handset's operating system to reset and
thus could work properly.
If the above solution doesn't work you can throw your mobile in the dust bin
if you are not allowed to by your company try the following
- Test the midlet on different
instrument but same model.
- You can also reburn the
existing instruments chipset
This could be a most frustrating
problem. But now you know what the problem is when your handset acts funny.
