I have an XDA 11i - -was on contract but I use ao2 pay as you go sim card .
I can make and accept phone calls,and send recieve emails etc but I can only view a couple of web pages ie BBC home and Google ( only images!)
and they are both WAP sites.
If I try any other site it just says CANNOT CONNECT.
To get a bit of news I have to use the following
wsp://news.bbc.co.uk/mobile/bbc_
Or for weather i use
wsp://wap.weatheronline.co.uk/02
Can you suggest another way of connecting or any other wap addresses ?
Glad of any help
Programs running in background question
If I go into the memory settings / running programs it usually shows a list of about 5 programs still in use - this is AFTER I have pressed the X button on the screen - -I presumed that was how you closed the progs down .
Any ideas ?
Any ideas about the internet wap problem ??
Zinc, many programs only minimize when you press the cross, get a free program like pocketnav, this will let you close them properly.
Thanks !
Any ideas about my surfing problem ?
Any good WAP pages ?
I am trying to get Pocket Internet Explorer to launch a local program from
a file:/// URL. This used to work on XDA I, II and IIi but WM 5.0 seems to
have disabled that (probably rightly so!). Is there anything that I can do
to setup the device to allow this to work.
To date I have managed to get a link to launch a program from a webpage
held on the devices filesystem but if I try the same page when it is hosted
on a webserver the launch is silently ignored.
I suspect that this is something to do with security zones but I cannot find
any information as to how to configure these or even if it will work.
Any help appreciated.
I'm looking to save on my international SMS costs - a lot of forums mentioned that I should use the GPRS based clients where you can send SMS around the world for about 4p. However, services like SMSBug use a Java client which I can't seem to install on my Vario...
Are there any alternatives so that I can use SMSBug or similar on my PocketPC?
I also interested to save the cost but how.... :?:
I have used smsbug to send sms to india from the usa. I used the java from the extended rom. If it is not on the vario go to the ftp and download any extended rom and run the cab file with the mms and java on it. then open up the smsbug.jar or smsbug.jad file within the java app and go through the setup. There is also an app on pocketgear or handango where you can use smsbug. i forgot the name of the application but it used to run on pocketPC 2003se. do a search for sms gprs or smsbug on both of those sites and the app should come up. You have to pay for the app but it does have a free trial.
here is the link:

Thanks for the info guys... just signed up and installed on my prophet...
Testing with the free 5 Credits....
Looks very promising, as i have been using over wifi, and I've got wifi at home and work,
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=267613
and mobile.southwest.com works fine for me.
I am using the MDA Vario II in the UK and using the Midlet Manager to use Betfair to place bets.
It refreshes the odds for me every 10 seconds but the annoying Midlet Manager asks to connect to the network each time as its from an unsigned source.
Is there a way to turn this off? Looked around for a solution but cannot find one.
The application works fine on a normal Sony Ericsson phone as there is no Midlet Manager on there.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem as it is happening to me when using Betfair on my Vario 3 on T-Mobile.
All of the security options for this applet is set to 'Oneshot'.
thanks,
Al
