note to all : read this first

sharp 903SH (japanese edition) uses AAC files for music. SD-audio is also supported but its a really long and painful story. heres the guide to cnverting ur music into AAC format and placing it into ur sharp 903SH

encoding into mp3
1) get CD out of CD cover / jacket / select a folder containing mp3s
2) download apple Itunes ( if u use itunes as a primary music player this first two steps are not necessary)
3) select import files from file and select

i) for mp3 : select the folder of which the mp3 is located
ii) for CDs: please rip the CD into mp3 and do as above

if both steps do not work , check your options and under import encoder select AAC encoder

4) go to my documents/my music/itunes/[whatever your folder name is]



transferring into SD-card

1) connect card reader and insert mini SD card into adaptor followed by inserting both into the card reader
2) make sure that windows detects your card reader
3) select the file u want (converted file) copy and paste it
4) paste it in sounds and ringtones folder in your SD card drive

already encoded and for 903SH use

903SH video guide

you can go here : http://www.debbybrown.f2s.com/sdguide/layout.htm

what u need
1) moviestage
2) u need the movie stage directory updater do download that (can be found at link above)
3) windows media 9 encoder
4) one seperate little folder , create a folder anywhere u like and
5) [impt] MAKE or copy and paste a copy of the video u wanna convert because movie stage got power to delete ur original video file
6) update movie stage reigister with this registry patch
registry patch downloaded here : http://www.debbybrown.f2s.com/sdguid...geregedits.zip

to install the registry patch : Download the files, using right-click > Save Target As. You should then be able to run them straight by opening them. However, if its trying to open the files in a different program, like Windows Media Player, etc, you need to do the following:

§ Go to Start>Run

§ Type regedit and hit OK.

§ In the Registry Editor, go File>Import and then browse to your file to import the new settings.

original source for the registry patch method :http://www.debbybrown.f2s.com/sdguide/layout.htm

i ve got my own shortcut method.

1) download windows media 9 encoder
2) install it
3) go to convert file and select the file


4) select file computer playback
5) set video settings at VHS 250kbps CBR , audio at CD quality CBR

6) convert the file
7) use moviestage and select the file

press the spanner icon and add the folder where u saved the converted file
8) press the movies tab
9) press update button

10) u should now see the file appear (must have a little lock there)(number 1)
11) select the file , press convert (number 2)
12) select the settings , do note that at highest quality there are frame lags (number 3)
make sure that you have updated the registry first prior to this point and select the 902SH output. if you havent updated the registry , you wont have this 902SH output method

guide to transferring converted media into SD_video folder

1) film some videos with your 903 , choose to save as extended mpeg4
2) the phone will create an SD_video folder
3) rename the folders MOLXXX(any number you want so as long as it remains 3 digit).ASF
4) insert your MINI-SD card into adaptor and into Card reader
5) copy and paste into that directory


these are the highest settings the 903SH video encoding can go. any higher settings and it will not work with the moviestage programme.

to view it [your converted file] on ur PC with sound , u need this SHARP G726 CODEC
downloadable here : http://www.sharp.co.jp/viewcam/dl_data/SHARP-G726(J).exe


The .3gp method

converter avaliable here : http://www.nurs.or.jp/~calcium/3gpp/

1. Unzip first and click setup, choose SD-VIDEO ASF and set the laguage to English, then "apply".
2. Open the software, choose QVGA Normal Quality(or High).
3. Set up the output directory
4. Drag the file(s) which you want to convert to the software window.
5. Congratulations!! Your SD movie has already appeared in your output directory!!!

method : the bluffing-sharp-902/903 that it is a DRM file when it actually isnt -trick

Trick for getting your own MP4 ringtone to work on 903SH
Basically the theory is simliar to 902sh, only different is that you have to get the extention of the file correct (rename the file from .m4a to .mp4 if your software produces different extention).

How to convert .mp3 ro ,mp4? Use itunes or dbpoweramp

The following steps are adapted from my previous post on 902, amended for 903's use.

1: Download a DRM enabled mp4 from somewhere first, and set it as ringtone.

(Have to find an address to download a secured MP4 through)

2: After downloading the ringtone and set it as the ringtone to be used, copy a mp4 ringtone (cindy.mp3 as a example) without DRM from SD card to handset memory. Remember not to use BT to transfer the file as files more than 450kbytes will be placed elsewhere and cannot be used.

3: Change the TEST ringtone to TEST-1 or any other name. Then set the cindy.mp4 as TEST.mp4.

4: Now the renamed cindy.mp3 has taken over the place of TEST.mp4 Do not do anything else and leave it as it is (Do not do a "set as ringtone" again) in order to trick the phone to play that.

If you are confused by all these, the basic principle of this is to get the phone to recognise a filename as a DRM-ed ringtone, then get the actual ringtone that you want to use to takeover that filename to trick the phone into playing that.



If you want to change ringtone again, just change the test.mp4 into something else and change the file you want as TEST.mp4


limitations : 1k mp4. u might need to get third party software to cut and shorten and reduce the sound quality

Detailed guide in changing ringtone in 903SH
This post is taken from Ima-mobile

Works around the same theory in changing ringtone in 902SH.

1) 首先你將你想轉的mp3用mp3DirectCut Cut左你想要的鈴聲
(例:越唱越強.mp3)
2) 之後用itune將"越唱越強.mp3"轉做AAC格式轉左之後個名變成"越唱越強.m4a"

3) 然後下載我上傳的檔案"IMA.m4a"

4) 將"越唱越強.m4a"和"IMA.m4a"放入miniSD的鈴聲資料夾

5) 將miniSD插入903sh,去到鈴聲資料夾
6) 將我上傳的檔案"IMA.m4a" copy 落903sh
7) 再將"IMA.m4a"設置成鈴聲
8) 然後將"IMA.m4a"改名或刪除(例:"IMA-Mobile.m4a")如刪除後唔好多手出番去睇setting,跟住做埋落去就得
9)之後將"越唱越強.m4a" copy 落903sh改名成"IMA.m4a"就OK

試下打下自己個電話,發覺同自己o既MMF鈴聲有乜分別呢

呢個方法應該可以同係703sh,sx813,sx833到
而且呢個方法不限file size同kbps o既大細

如果覺得鈴聲太細聲可以用Nero o既 WAV 轉換器 + 5-8db
再用320kbps 轉成AAC,再重複以上o既step就得~~

Enjoy it~~~

Ok this is what i gathered , havent had the chance to test it yet. No idea whether it works

webbie for games

http://forums.hardwarezone.com/showt...1114814&page=1
we have 240X320 resolution games here on this webbie , do make an account and put 5 posts in order to download em

http://www.eblase.net/sharp/ <-- games compatible with 903SH : Fire


general game information
903 games should be running VSCL 2.0 spec, whereas these games are all VSCL 1.0.1 or 1.1.0 (according to their JAD files), meaning they're games designed for the Sharp GX line of phones. Some of them even specify a res of 120x130, which wouldn't be full screen on the 902 or 903 (both phones will centre them on screen, while GX phones stretch them to fit).[source from mobile-review forums]

try to get custom compatible 903SH games for maximum experience



method 1 : wap
1) [easiest and simplest way] download a game via wap.

method 2 : updated , source from M-R forums

step 1: upload a file to http://www.mobstorage.com/
step 2: go on wap on your phone and type in what they tell you
step 3: download

limitations : not all files compatible

method 3 : super annoying method. most hassle

method typically gets most games into my phone, but if it doesnt then the game is not compatible. Please follow this guide carefully: http://www.mobile-review.com/forum2/...&highlight=wap

another alternative is this method :
