Redefining the Internet shortcut button - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

I have just taken delivery of my lovely new Exec so I apologise if this is a very basic question.
When you press the "e" internet shortcut button to the left of the space bar, internet explorer opens and goes to a specific address. Is there a way to edit that default address? I've changed the default home page and so if I select Home from the menu I do go to my preferred page. It's frustrating that that doesn't happen when I use the shortcut button.
Many thanks
David

search the registry for the site that you do go to (eg www.clubimate.com), change that entry for the site you want it to go to.
use resco registry or phm if you dont have it already.

How do I disable Internet button on XDA Exec?

Hi All,
How do I disable the internet button on the keyboard? I find it very irritating when typing and I accidentaly hit this button instead of the SPACE bar and Internet Explorer opens and tries to connect to the net.
I have edited the registry to stop it going to the O2 home page and instead it now goes to a default page on device page so now does not try to connect via GPRS. I would like it to do nothing as I don't use this button at all but hit it almost every time I do typing on the keyboard.
Thanks
Dave...

Internet Explorer Start Page

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I've searched and I couldn't find an answer, so I'm hoping someone will indulge me by answering again :roll:
My device was supplied to me by my office as an MDA Vario, but I've unlocked it and I use it as my personal phone on orange. Whenever I load internet explorer it goes to a t-mobile favourites page (http://www.tmobile-favourites.co.uk) regardless of what I set the home page to in the options.
How do I change this?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Try changing in the registry setting at HLKM\software\microsoft\internet explorer\aboutURLs\home
see if that does it
No, that didn't help.
The home registry key was set to the page I'd set as my home page, but the device goes still goes to the tmobile favourites page when I start internet explorer.
Also, I searched the whole registry for the URL of the tmobile page, and I couldn't find any reference to it.
i have the same problem...i dont want t mobiles site to load
Try changing HKLM\Software\HTC\BrandedBrowser\home
That is the register key in my Vario.
On dutch T-Mobile Vario's IE starts with a customized local .htm file.
If you just change that file with a list of shortcuts that can be a solution as well.
BTW I like (the dutch) T-Mobile page pda.t-mobile.nl as a portal.

WIFI and long random wpa pass phrases on TyTn

Hi all,
I've got a a wifi network with a full length pass phrase that uses the complete extended ascii alphabet (including characters not on the TyTn) and am wondering if there is a way to cut and paste the key into the network key field of the wifi configuration wizard?
Thanks
Same problem
Yes, I have the same problem as you do. I can not paste the long WPA key into the box. The Paste option is disabled. Did you find any solution?

I use a free download called Hitchhiker which is meant for seeking out and making it easy to log onto networks. I've just tried and it allows pasting of the key into the box. If you then exit hitchhiker it says it will disconnect from the network, But don't worry as it saves the key to the appropriate place so when you log in again by the normal route it is already entered.
NB obviously you can save a text file on PC with the key on it and move it to Hermes but when pasting use ctrl v to paste on softkeyboard not usual press and hold the stylus as that does not give the paste option.

I have also been trying this without success. I currently have two versions of the SKY+ Java software, one which works with the touchscreen one which doesnt. the touchscreen one always times out during connection whereas the non touchscreen one says "The data connection has failed" whenever I press the login button. The app itself seems very compatible and appears to fill the WVGA screen very nicely, however we will need someone who knows a little more about how to "point the the java app in the right internet direction" (excuse my non technical description, this is where my technical ability runs out ) the java emulator itself does not help much as it contains no options to apply to the app
I have it working great. Just install the JBED Java version and then install it from inside that. It only logs in when you have the Vodafone proxy disabled though.
It's great to have a 50 channel EPG!!

could you please expand a little, how do you 'disable the vodafone proxy'? as far as I can tell that doesnt really make any sense! I really want to get this software working so any help you can give as to how you set yours up would be most appreciated, Thankyou
This worked for me:
Install Jbed attached above and use it to install the Sky.jar program.
On your Xperia go through:
settings
then select the connections tab
then the connections icon
followed by the advanced tab
Now chosse the select networks button and in the top drop down menu (the connection for programs which automatically connect to the net to use) and change it to "WEB" rather than "My ISP".
My ISP uses wap.vodafone.co.uk as an access point name via a proxy server.
WEB uses "internet" as an access point name without using a proxy server.
You do need to also do the following to get the service runiing:
1. Register for "my sky" at the sky website.
2. Add remote recording to the list of services runningon your my sky account
3. Activate remote recording on your sky box through its menu system
I've tested it out and I can access the 7day listing guide and send record instructions straight to the box (only takes 1-2mins).
Has anyone got this working on an o2 X1 - I don't have a "Web" option in my connections!

The WEB is a Vodafone name. I know o2 work on the same type of system (web and wap) so if you list what's available we should be able to take a guess at which one you should be using.
Hi artesea, thanks for your response. I have just tried again.... the o2 X1 has a choice of My ISP or Work Internet - so selected Work Internet and bingo it all loaded at connected at last
Tested it and within five seconds it updated my sky HD box!!!!
Thanks all!
Hi,
Sorry for the slight change in direction in the topic but it is relevent (hopefully you guys will agree)
whats the difference between "My ISP" and "work Internet" other than one points to the providers proxy server? Im with o2 and have the unlimited web bolt on - is this only unlimited web as long as i go through the "My ISP" connection?
If not, I dont actually see the point in going through the ISP's proxy at all?
Cheers,
Craig
Both Vodafone and o2 have two types of connections, can't remember the exact names so I'll call them INTERNET and WAP.
They were set up back in the day when the internet on your mobile was WML files and not much else.
WAP would allow you to access the internet on your phone, mainly to the companies own portal (Vodafone Live! etc).
INTERNET was to be used by a computer connected to the phone via Infrared or data cable. The networks have compressors at their end to decrease the size of the files to make it quicker and cheaper (you might notice images look crap). Connecting over WAP wouldn't work.
Since then phones have got very smart, and networks are getting behind.
For example you can't access Vodafone Live! whilst using INTERNET, but then you can't access a 3rd party app on WAP.
I can see that some apps are being allow over WAP (google maps), however I've found it a lot easier to have everything running over INTERNET.
Not 100% sure if o2 will allow you to use INTERNET in your bundle, but Vodafone do.
Can someone post the Sky Remote Record java app? Or at least post a link where they found it. I have it working on my X1 but the program size is so small it is hard to read.
How do you get around the issue of logging in using an O2 X1? I have the app installed and can enter username and password but can't select login. I saw a suggestion was to map the left and right keys to volume up and down (think it was for a differernt handset though) but when in the buttons settings there is no options to remap these keys to volume.
The left and right buttons are mapped to Login and Exit already.
My problem is the network not found problem. Like hell I'm installing another Java. I did that with my old Polaris and had nothing but problems afterwards.

But on my handset (and I know some other peoples) the login button (left softkey) does not function so you can't even login. It would appear that some people have a workaround for this, just wondering what that is.
after a bit of hair pulling i finally managed to get this to work at last.
I finally bit the bullet and de-vodafoned my device to the new R2A ROM (using SD card method - see other threads for more info).
I use AE Button Plus to remap the left and right soft keys to "hard" keys (select left key -> 3. Handle by AEBplus -> 1. single press -> 11. press left soft key. Same for right (soft)key). After hitting OK choose file then "save & exit"
This might help O2 users with the connection setup.

If you are looking for the two applications required then goto message #3 of this thread (thats on page 1) then click the link. Goto message #4 of the resulting thread for links to the applications
Help
I have reassigned the left and right key with AE Button Plus but still cannot login or exit via the keys?
Any help out there?
For me, the hard key to log in would only work when the keyboard is open. Odd, but gets around it and I can now at least remote record.
I have just assigned the buttons, so they always operate the softkeys, which is a bit annoying as I prefered one for rotate screen. Is there a way to only map the buttons within the Java app?
Thanks sebring
This appears to be the same for me.
Keyboard open and the reassigned keys work....really strange that.
Thanks again.

HTC YOUTUBE application

Could I configure somewhere in registry that If I will be in m.youtube.com it will launch HTC YOUTUBE APP or any FLASH WEB PAGE ?
Thanks for any advice.
If you use opera you can set it to open web pages instead of mobile.
At the url editor write: opera:config
Go to User Agent--->Spoof User Agent ID, set value 3 and press "Save".
Go to User Prefs--->Custom User Agent, press "Default", to set it blank and press "Save".
