I would like to use mobile.southwest.com. However, it detects that I am visiting with a PPC and redirects me to the main site.
The problem with this is that I often want to check in, and if you do it from the main site but don't print a boarding pass, when you "reprint" a boarding pass at the airport, it reclassifies your boarding group. If you check in with the mobile phone, it remembers that you are boarding class A.
I tried installing opera mini (which, since I use a T-Mobile MDA, required installing a midlet manager) and then going to mobile.southwest.com, but southwest still redirected me to the regular site.
Has anyone figured out how to go to the southwest wap site?
there is a registry setting, so your browser will be detected as a desktop pc,
don't remember the setting you have to search like registry setting for IE6
I need the opposite
The problem is that mobile.southwest.com is detecting my ppc as a desktop pc, and thus assumes I have an attached printer. I want to tell it that I am not a desktop pc.
How to spoof a desktop pc is in the wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other&version=70
but I haven't been able to find how to spoof, say, a treo (on which this mobile.southwest.com returns wap content).
Tried them all
I have now tried PIE, Opera mini, Minimo, and Netforce 3.3, and can't reach mobile.southwest.com on any of them -- I'm sent to the main site instead. So clearly it isn't a browser issue but some other settings. Does anyone know how to spoof a wap browser?
The solution to this problem turns out to be to use a WAP browser. The two main ones are Klondike ($23) and winwap ($50). Klondike's trial has a not-very-obnoxious trial reminder periodically but my understanding is that it works indefinitely, which is very nice of them.
I tried the Tweaks2k2 changes and nothing helped with getting mobile southwest to work.
I downloaded Netfront 3.3 and if you allow WAP on the program, the mobile southwest will load correctly.
I called southwest before doing all this and got nowhere.
If anyone has an idea of getting the default browser to work, I would like to know before, I pay for Netfront.

Skweezer.net
Have any of you tried skweezer.net? It's a site that condenses web sites for small screens. I went there on my LAPTOP, entered mobile.southwest.com into the search window, and brought up the mobile version of southwest.com. I surfed the mobile site for a while. I even looked at the mobile pdf schedules page. Southwest.com never detected that I was surfing from a laptop, not a mobile device since I loaded the page through skweezer. I think skweezer might fix both problems.
Works for me

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Cool! This works!
Nice Bass Aggie.
Skweezer compressed the web site but it still does not bring up the mobile website.
Any other ideas on how to get it to work on PIE.

I'm using Summiter's last ROM:

Hi All.
I have a Telscan Web Server running on my home network monitoring various rooms within my home.
I access it via the web by using port forwarding via a DYNDNS web address to my interneal network address.
However everytime I access the page via my M5000 and my Dads HTC Tytn we both get the same error message that versions higher than 5.5 for IE need to be installed.
Any ideas how to get this working on my phone.
Below is a link to Seimens sample test site
http://83.13.75.186/
This gives exactly the same errors.
However I have tried using Netfront, Opera and PIE Plus none of which have helped despite various configuration changes including telling the software to pretend to be desktop IE versions.
Any ideas appriciated.

Hi!
When I navigate on the web using Pocket Internet Explorer on my pda-phone I cannot have access to some forum or view via browser my mail account.
I call my phone provider (gsm/gprs) and they tell me that I must not have activate IE' popup block.
Where can I found this option?
Thanks!
w_S
Your phone provider has morons in technical support!
There is no such thing as "pop-up blocker" in PIE (Pocket Internet Explorer).
The reason you can not see many sites is because this browser is very limited, it can not handle java and other things many sites, particularly forums and mail need to display properly.
What you need to do is download the free minimo (mozila) browser. It can handle almost any site and has tabs and other goodies - the downside is it is extremely slow (heavy app).
haha
I had my suspicions about that...
When they tell me about popup a huge doubt grow in me!
I thought I'm wrong
...
But there is a strange thing. One of my friend have hp 6515 with Windows Mobile 2003se and he can access to one forum that I can't access with my xda! ...it's strange...
What do you think about opera?
Thank you,
w_s
i'm not sure what the deal is with your friend being able to browse the website while you can't, but i do highly recommend opera's latest beta. far and away a better browser than pie, with many more features such as tabs and flash support. most definitely one of, if not the, best for internet browsing on pocket pc.
here's the link for WM2003:

Or trying using Opera Mobile as your main browser.
I was wondering if any of you in the community could do me a favour and try something.....
Recetly, my xda 2I has bee having trouble accessing http://www.bebo.com
I use a wireless broadband connection, which works fine, and the site in question hasn't posed any problem,s before... up until about 2 weeks ago.
The problem is i open IE, and search for www.bebo.com and it finds he page, but as soon as it starts loading, IE appears to close.... it opens again without trouble, just back to my homepage.
THe curious thing is this doesn't happen with any other webpages... just wth bebo. and i KNOW the site is working as I can access it on my pc.
Can anyone try accessing the site on their pdas andmaybe tell me if it's just an issue bebo has developed with widows mobile or something...
help appreciated,

Ok I am just about ready to format my wizard to default. I have been using the Wizard ROM the past few months. Pocket msn was working fine until over the weekend where as I click connect on msn it fails after about 2 seconds. I can browse using IE and get my emails via Outlook etc. All internet activities work except for pocket msn.
I even installed Windows Live and its the same thing. I read online where if I changed region settings to English UK and create a shortcut for msn that should work. It did but I cant be bothered with that as I still lose the ability to get my hotmail emails.
What am I doing wrong if anything, y did it stop working all of a sudden?
Still awaiting any help
Ok I have narrowed down the issue to the APN which I am using. In my country we have multiple apns. The one I am using allows me to browse at one flat rate. But for some reason it is blocking msn.com and pocket msn.
When I use the charge as u use APN I can access these sites but I am charged for the data being transferred.
Why would the provider limit the flat rate APN?
