Which GS-911 software to use

Users seem to be very confused about which software to download and use on what platform. Here's the software platform compatibility guide.

« Back to Table of Contents

There are several software applications for GS-911, each specific to a particular platform, namely:

  • The GS-911 PC version for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7  and Windows 8
  • The Android version for all Android devices that run Android 2.x or higher. See FAQ "does it run on my Android?"
  • The Windows Mobile version for PocketPC and SmartPhone (WM5 & WM6 devices) version. NOTE: Windows Phone 7 is not supported (see related FAQ)
  • The BlackBerry version for all BlackBerry phones (except Z10 and other QNX based phones - please see: Will it run on my BlackBerry? )
  • The GS-911Mobile.jar version (for all other Java midlet enabled (and JSR-82 compliant) mobile phones, like Nokia, Motorola, Samsung etc). Also for the new BlackBerries that are JSR-82 compliant (running software 4.2.1 or newer)
  • The GS911Verifier - for use ONLY on the Java midlet enabled mobile phones, to test whether your device is capable of running the GS911Mobile.jar version (of course NOT for use on Windows Mobile devices as they use the Windows Mobile version and there is no need or point to test for JSR-82 compatibility). See related FAQ "What does the GS911Verifier do?".
