New Covers Mobile beta starts Tuesday June 12th

Not available in the UK, huh? 

Call me stingy, but I'd prefer some ads or links to betting sites instead of paying the $3 to $5 a month.

I just saw the American number...it didn't even occur to me to just go to the website.

And to clarify on the fee, it's not that the money bothers me, it's just another expense and payment.

It installed successfully, but I got an error message when I tried to load it:

jUFEHLER6ERROR The requested item could not be loaded fback2

Hey Brent Musburger,

We'll take a look into the error you received.

Mr_C

Hey Brent Musburger,

Could we get a few more details please?

Did the error occur after the splash screen that says Covers Mobile and then gives you some text about Covers Mobile or did you get an error right away without seeing any logo or text?

Thank you,
Mr_C

Hey Brent Musburger,

One more question. What type of phone are you using?

Thanks,
Mr_C

Mr Covers-

I first see the splash screen.  My phone asks me if I want to allow the program to connect to the Internet and then another menu pops up for maybe a second before the error message pops up.

The phone is a Sony Ericsson K800i.

Hey Brent Musburger,

You may not have permissions set on your phone to access the internet through java: Please try this

# click Menu
# click Settings
# click right four times to get to Connectivity
# scroll down and click on Data Comm
# click on Data Accounts
# click New account
# choose GPRS/PS/Packet Data (depending on handset)
# give your account a name you will remember
# click on APN
# type the one your provider has given you for web/email access. If you don't know it, a lot of UK ones are listed here and you'll find the rest of the world here or here
# click save
# edit username, enter GPRS username (see links above)
# edit password, enter GPRS password (see links above)
# back out to Data Comm
# scroll down to Streaming Settings
# click select and make sure it is set to the account you just created
# back out to Data Comm again
# scroll down to Settings for Java (sometimes located under Internet Settings)
# click select and make sure it is set to the account you just created (on some phones you may have to add a New Profile and set it to Connect Using the account you just created)

Or if that solution doesn't work try these steps and have erricson beam the settings to your phone.

Please tell us if one of those solutions works for you.

Cheers,
Mr_C

I'll try it out, but I use other Java programs - Opera Mini, Reporo, etc. to connect to the Internet without a problem.

Hey CiscoKid1,

Our technology could provide this type of service, but we are not currently partnered with any sportsbooks to make it available.

How frequently do you think you would use this wagering service on your phone if it was available?

Cheers,
Jim

Hey Ingwca,

We have not seen any issues from our end.

Could we get a few more details from you please?

What type of phone are you using?
Are you getting to the splash screen that has the details about Covers Mobile?
How long have you been using the application?

Thank you,
Mr_C

Hi lindetrain,

We'll look into adding access to the 2nd page of a thread and the forum.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Cheers,
Mr_C

Hey, any update on how you'll be pricing this program and when it's going to be released?

Hey CiscoKid1,

We are hoping to have a full release of this program in the next month or two. Price is in discussion. If a company sponsored the product it could continue to be free or we may have to charge a minimal monthly or annual fee.

Thanks,
Mr_C

Hey Mr_Pants,

We have a solution for Motorola Q within this thread. Here is the post.

Motorola Q by default does not come with JVM (java virtual machine).

We've found a few places that you can download it to your Motorola Q.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279600

You would probably just need the smaller version called J9_tiny 6.1.0.20060727-102926.CAB

You can just point your browser to the CAB package or download and copy the cab to your Motorola Q.

We don't have a Motorola Q on site to test, so if you get it going we would love to get your feedback.

Thank you,
Mr_C

Mr Covers-

Can I put this on my Treo 700p?
