How to make a back-up of the .JAR-files on my SE K750i?
I mean to a PC for future reinstall?
What do you do, if you don't want to play a game for a while, but you don't want to delete it permanently (and you need some free memory)?
I don't want to lose the games I paid for and downloaded via GPRS when I change phones or delete them.

move the game to external memory. Then access the memory card via the computer and move the game from \\mmsmc\\system\\ams (or some path like that) to the "other" folder. You'll find an ams folder in the system folder that will contain the game with a file extension of .sest not jar.
Once the sest file is in the other folder, go back to the phone and send the sest file from the other folder to the computer. When it is sent to the computer it will be converted to a proper jar file, which you can install on your or another phone when ever you need

Hi Max :-)
Not really working :-(
I get as far as to copy the \".sest\" file to the \"Other\" folder.
But when I try to send the file from the phone, all options in the menu are ghosted?
I can't send neither by MMS, IR, BT or even as Mail!
What am I forgetting or doing wrong?!?

what firmware are you running? The two possibilities I can think of, firstly, the game may be drm forward locked (meaning it can't be copied from the phone to anywhere else). Most games aren't, but some are protected this way.
The other possibility is that later firmwares after R1L002 may have closed this avenue of game backup. They may have disabled the ability to forward the game from the phone in order to turn it into a jar.
Try it with some other games, it may just be the one you tried.

My firmware is R1N035, and I tried with serval JARs - back-up is just not possible :-(
Well, this must mean that sony-Ericsson, by making back-up impossible, hereby has declared themselves ready and willing to pay for re-purchase of my software, when I buy a nww phone!
I'll probably stick with my K750i for some time still, but does anybody know to which address to send my claims, so I can get my software paid when I eventually buy a new cell-phone?!?
----------------------
Christ, I'm getting more and more tired of this phone the more I find out of K750i's lack of posibilities, options and capatibilites :-(
All, of which I was used to on my Nokia - It'll be a Nokia again next time!

SE have one BIG disadvantage, which perversly is also a big advantage. And that is having Sony as part owner. Sony engineering is excellent, but Sony management have wet dreams over drm and can't get enough of it. This really sucks.
Try copying a game sest files to the computer from the ams folder (but using the computer not phone to do so). If it let's you, go to the phone and delete the games by deleting them from the games folder. Then, copy the sest files back into the ams folder, then see if the game appears in your games folder (I don't expect it will, but worth a try).
Another thing you could try: try copying the sest files from the computer to the other folder, then on the phone goto the other folder and see if you can install the sest file (select it and see if the left softkey offers the option to install.
They are the only possibilities I can foresee that may work.
