Instalation Instruction

This page tries to give you a complete guide on installing s60bible along with the bible files so you can start using s60bible

Obtaining the files

See the download section to obtain the s60bible-xx.sis. The sis contains only  the application to read the bible. Now, you also need one or more bible files  for the program to read (you need at least one bible files), see the section obtaining bible files for more info.

Putting the files to the Phone

The next step after obtaining the bible files and the application is to send them to the phone. There are several methods that you can use to put the files on your phone.

Sending using Infrared

To be able to send the file using infrared, you need an infrared device on your computer. If you don't have one, try asking help from a friend who has a laptop, laptops usually have an infrared port.

Activate the infrared port on your phone (in Nokia 3650 the menu is Connect >>  Infrared). Put your phone so that the infrared port is facing the computer's infrared port.

(Note: This instruction is for Windows user)
From the Windows Explorer, choose the program files and the bible files, right click on the file, and choose Send to a nearby computer

You will receive the files as messages in your phone. Choose the program file and install it. You can't open bibles file directly through the Inbox, just let the bible  file on the Inbox (or move it to another folder so it won't get accidentally deleted). You can delete the program file from the Inbox, but don't delete the bible  files.

Sending using Bluetooth

To be able to send the file using bluetooth, you need an bluetooth device on your computer.

(Note: This instruction is for Windows user)
From the Windows Explorer, choose the program files and the bible files, right click on the file, and choose Send to >> Bluetooth >> (select device name)

Direct Download

The s60bible-xx.sis is a very small file (less than 30 Kb), for file of this size you can download the file directly to your phone (this is the easiest method if you have a data connection [CSD/GPRS/EDGE/...]). Launch the browser application (in Nokia it's called Services) and type the following URL

http://symbianbible.sourceforge.net/s60bible-latest.sis

While the application is very small, the bible files are not. The size of a bible file is usually more than 1 Mb. For file of this size it is not recommended to download the bible directly to your phone, before doing it, please consider this:

  1. It may take a long time to download the file
  2. It may cost you a lot (because of the long download time, if your data connection is charged per minute, or because of the file size if you are charged per kilo byte)
  3. It may not work on some phone (3650 for instance)

Email  Download

You can setup the email account in your phone, send the files to your email account, and access the email through the phone. Again, this method may not work on some phone (due to the memory limitation), may took a long time, and may cost you a lot.

MMC Card Reader/Writer

If you own a memory card reader/writer, you can write the bible files and the program on the memory card and putting the card back to the phone. This method is very good for putting the bible files to your phone, but not very good for putting the program. The program needs to be installed, but to be able to install it, you need a program to browse the content of your MMC and starting the S60Bible-xx.sis. One of the free program available on the net is the FExplorer.
