Pocket Internet Explorer Question

Hiya,
I have a problem with internet explorer on my Xda2, Ive searched the forums and cant find anything that helps. The problem is that whilst I'm surfing on my xda and go to another program, then switch back to IE and IE has reset back to the home page. This happens all the time, which means if someone messages me on msn whilst I'm surfing I lose the web page. Its very irritating and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

Hi,
I am not really sure what causes the problem you explained, but why dont you consider other web browser for your XDAII? Here is the list of some alternative web browsers for pocketpc:
1. Access Netfront 3.0 (www.access-us-inc.com)
2. Thunderhawk (www.bitstream.com/wireless/)
3. MultiIE (www.multiie.info)
Personally, I prefer Netfront and Thunderhawk. Anyway, you should check those for yourself.
Regards.

The cause of the problem is that Pocket IE gets closed. So when you "switch back" to Pocket IE, you're actually launching it again. And the new instance of Pocket IE starts at the home page. Too bad I only know the cause of the problem and not the solution.

Perhaps you are hitting the 32 process limit when you switch to another application.
Perhaps try upgrading to the latest ROM, and also remove unused apps from the windows\startup folder.
HTH,

Try to set the home page to BLANK!
Also try MultiIE its the best of all,, you can save images, save web pages, scroll the page by tapping it, and much more....

MSN Messenger, Album do not launch, Pictures has no pictures

Dear All,
I'm sure that I have inadvertently done something, and I'm not a technical person - so far as I know I have deleted no files, but I did use the "Stop All" under running programs so that may have left something in the wrong state....
The problem is that when I tap on MSN Messenger, or the Album application, or when using File Explorer try to open a photo --- nothing happens. Simply nothing. The Pictures application launches, but there are only the file names, no thumbnails, and if I tap on where the thumbnail should be nothing happens.
Thinking that a hard reset would fix this, I copied all my files (photos, word documents, etc.) off on my SD card, did a hard reset...and expected it all to work. Nope, it still doesn't launch. There are no error messages. I am able to connect just fine with GPRS and read my emails, also use Internet Explorer - no problems with Active Sync, just these three applications not working properly. Any suggestions on what to do to correct this would be gratefully received.

Problem with PIE?

Hello guys...
It hadn't happened to me before and I don't know what triggered it. Since this morning, every time I try to browse the web, even if the Universal is synced to the pc, PIE gives me a "page cannot be found" error. Opera, on the other hand, works fine!
Any ideas? :roll:

I've had this problem too on my XDA IIi and also on older model XDA's. It only happens for me when connected to ASync, GPRS i have no problems. A quick soft reset solves the problem but it returns after so long. My emails would still download...
I don't seem to have noticed it recently (maybe cause i don't use it so much) but i did use the hack to move Temporary Internet Files to storage (or SD card) where i have much more free space. Give that a try, tell me if it makes a difference!

I have a problem when connected via activesync in that sometimes when trying to use internet explorer when it connects to a page it just simply closes down.
That is internet explorer just closes. Not hidden, not under running tasks. Have only noticed it when trying to access a couple of particular sites.
So I am wondering if there is a piece of code on the web site that IE doesnt like and occasionaly trips it over.
Not a problem to me yet. I either dont bother accessing the page or try a soft reset.

Did you move your temporary internet files to your sdcard? Does the problem go away if you go into tools\options\memory and click delete files and click clear history? If yes, your temp files have possibly become corrupt.

I use Storage for my temp internet file/cookies and history but you can use a SD card. This does have the benefit of surviving a soft and hard reset.
It's been a while but i can remember clearing files in the options when using normal memory, it still failed to load/find pages until i soft reset. Even tried completely closing PIE and starting up again, still had to do a reset.
For me it seemed to happen more if i had set the options to download all images.

up still face the same prob

I'm facing the same problem after upgrading to the latest firmware, IE won't open any site, but Opera, MSN, Email .. etc are working fine.

Yo,
what I get is a lot of red-X'd pictures - WHY is that??
Also Bluetooth internet browsing is very flakey - keeps diconnecting?? (although activesync connection is stable) ....
so, the answer is....
replace that half baked piece of Micro$oft crap with a decent browser, such as Opera?
BTW, where do I get Opera for the PPC anyway??

With my old PDA2K I used to have the same problem. The solution in my case was to execute the file Welcome.exe from the windows directory. It seems the connection settings or explorer settings got corrupted from time to time and running the welcome.exe seemed to correct the problem without affecting any other settings of the machine. But Iam not sure this is the problem in your case... but maybe it may also affect the universal and not just the blueangel.

Explorer and Opera don't show some webpages

I've tried these two browsers but i've some problems with some web pages like mail webpage of my e-mail provider Libero Italy or the itinerary of Viamichelin web page. Pages go ahead but don't charge everything well,making usage impossible.
Thia happens also using Operamini as java applet.
I'm using the new official gps enabled Rom but this happened also with the former Rom.
My old Samsung phone managed java Operamini applet to show everything.
Does somebody know this issue and has a solution?
The good thing about the trinity is to behave like a PC along the street, but without this kind of pages many advantages become lost.

How Do You Keep Multiple Browser Tabs Active ?

In Microsoft you can open multiple browser windows and have processess running simultaneously in each window.
For example, you can use multiple Microsoft browser windows to login to the same website using different login details or listen to music using one window whilst browsing on another window.
On Android, if you open another tab then processess stop working on the previous tab.
I've tried to solve this by opening multiple browsers but as soon as you start a new browser the existing browser stops.
Does anyone know of a way to have browser processes running simultaneously on Android tabs in the same way as Windows browsers?
