Advantages of using trusted application on mobile phone.

Now a day mobile phones has been made high end. We want to bring everything into our hand. So, mobile phones are no longer been used for making voice call or receiving it. Now we can surf Internet, send text messages, emails, capture images, record sound and video and much more. Even our modern phones are various application supported. We can download and install our necessary and emergency tools on our phones. A lot of application has been made and developed. But some of those are certified by trusted supplier or third party and those applications are safe to run on mobile phone.


There are some reasons for installing third party trusted application on mobile. Those are:


  • Keeping phone free from errors.
  • Preventing hackers to hack phone while using an un-trusted web application like opera mini, facebook etc.
  • Stopping permission for data access each time of running the application.

  • To install third party trusted software on mobile phone, the phone is to be checked that it is certificate supported or not. If yes, then you may freely install trusted applications. If not, you’ll not be allowed to install those on phone.

    Some phones automatically disable the permission for data access for the application that is from trusted supplier. If you find that your phone is asking for permission to access data each time you run the application though the application is trusted, you’ll need to change the permission setting manually. Go to phone’s application data access permission setting and enable ‘Always allow’ wherever the function is found. After doing this, the application will automatically access your phone’s data. Un-trusted application has no option to make it allowed to access data automatically.

    Which phones are certificate supported:

    Most of the Sony Ericsson phones are made with trusted certificates. You’ll find a lot of certificates preloaded into it. On the other hand, Some Nokia, Samsung and some other phones also support certificate.

    Some software and trusted application downloading sources:

    Here is some software those we use most of the time because those are essential.

  • Opera Mini: Opern your phone's default web browser and write 'm.opera.com/ on address box. Then click 'Other downloading options, then scroll down, you'll find 'Options for Opera mini (any of the compatible versioin) Click on 'Select code signing certificate' and than click any of the certificate and the download of the signed version opera mini will begin.

  • Facebook For Every phone:

  • UC Browser:

  • If you download the applications on your PC, you’ll need to transfer those to mobile using data cable, Bluetooth, card or any other possible way. After the transfer is complete, click on the .jad file, download of the software will be started. Download these popular software from the link given above and enjoy the application just like your phone function.

    Installing Trusted Certificates on Mobile phone

    Now a days, mobile phone has become a part and parcel of our life. We not only call to our friends and relatives using a mobile phone but also send short messages, browse internet and many more. Many of us visit secure website like yahoo, gmail, msn, facebook etc. If your phone is a certificate supported phone, it may show a warning message telling 'Website not certified, continue with a secure connection?' or something like this when you access those secure connection using the default browser of phone. Sometimes that message shows for a several times. Then we need to press the 'Yes' button to allow accessing a secure connection. This is disturbing. On the other hand, during receiving email or synchronizing contacts on our phones' default database we see warning messages like that. This problem can be solved easily by installing some certificate on phone memory, that means, phone's file system.


    In this article I'll show you how easily certificates can be installed into phone. To see if your phone is certificate supported or not, go to setting, then scroll to security. Here you’ll find an option named ‘certificates’. Click this option and you’ll see the trusted certificates installed in your phone system. If you don’t find any option like ‘certificate’ or ‘security’ into ‘Settings’, you may find that into ‘internet’. If you can’t find these things into your phone, your phone is not a certificate supported one. Now let’s see how to install certificate into phone.


    You need a computer to do this deal. The computer needs to have internet connection and all security of that updated. Trusted certificate can be found in web browser of a computer. Here I’ll show you the process of copying trusted security certificates from Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.


    Internet Explorer: On Internet Explorer,

    go to ‘Tools>Internet Option>On the middle of the tabs, click ‘Content’>On the middle of the window, click ‘Certificates’. Here you’ll see six tabs named

    1. Personal

    2. Other People

    3. Intermediate Certification Authorities

    4. Trusted Root Certification Authorities

    5. Trusted Publishers

    6. Untrusted Publishers

    Click these tabs and you’ll see the trusted certificates. Now you need to copy the certificate into file. To do it,

    double click on any of the certificates.

    Then click details. Before copying to file check that the certificate is expired or not from the ‘General’ tab. On the bottom of the window, click ‘copy to file’. Continuously click ‘Next’ until the name field appear. Now give a name any of your choice and save that with (.cer) extension. That’s all.


    Mozilla Firefox:

    On Mozilla Firefox, click ‘Tools>Option>click the last tab, ‘Advanced’>click ‘view certificates’. Here you’ll find five tabs those contains the trusted certificates. Click any of the certificate you as your need and then click ‘Export’. Now give the file name with (.cer) extension and make the file type ‘All files’ and then save.

    Installing on phone: You may install a certificate in several ways. Just copy the file to memory card or phone memory. This time the certificates can be shown as unsupported item on phone. Now send the certificates to the phone where you need to install the certificates via bluetooth or infrared. This is the easiest way to install certificate on phone. After installing a certificate on phone some phone restarts or some phone ask for continuation of installing the certificate without restart. Now you have necessary certificates on your phone and from then the warning message will not show while browsing secure networks.

    N.B: Certificates from mozilla firefox may not support on most of the phones as the certificates on mozilla firefox are of (.pem) extension. But most of the phones supports certificates of (.cer) extension
