On a PC, you can go to http://wap.oa.yahoo.com, and login to your yahoo account to read your emails, etc.
If I do the same from my XDA2, it says "Unable to connect: Ensure that your modems are present and inserted correctly, and no network card present".
If I try this with any other web site (e.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk) it connects and works fine.
Does anyone else get this, and does anyone know a way around it?
Thanks!
On my XDA, http://wap.oa.yahoo.com works fine.
But WAP stinks on a capable device like the XDA or XDAII. Why not use http://www.yahoo.com instead, or set up your Inbox to download your Yahoo headers and/or messages?
can i realy do that?? setup INBOX for yahoooo???
please show me how! i couldnt even set the outlook express on PC to do that!
thanks a million.

You can only do this if you pay extra for POP3 access to Yahoo emails - which I don't want to do as this isn't my primary email account.
Also, going through http://www.yahoo.com means you get all the ads, graphics, etc. Even over a GPRS line, this makes it quite painfull.

I just got a new XDA II and I could access Yahoo without problems. After an involutary hard reset all the O2 stuff got installed (seems it was not installed the first time I used the device), and now I'm having the same problem as you're describing. Has O2 added something "clever" so that if it sees "wap" in the path, it thinks it should use a wap connection? In any case I can't find these settings and delete it. I want it to work as it did before the hard reset! Help!
Try wsp://wap.oa.yahoo.com insted of http://wap.oa.yahoo.com
HTTP = PC
WSP = WAP

cheers
WSP doesn't work either. Probably because that signals even more to the computer that you're trying to establish a WAP connection, which I don't want to do and which isn't set up either. The funny thing is that it worked before the hard reset, and I never had any problems on my old XDA I.
I managed to remove all the O2 stuff from the extended ROM, and after a hard reset, I can now access http://mobile.yahoo.com/mail again! Once you access http://mobile.yahoo.com/mail, the path changes to http://wap.oa... and from this point on it complained. Until I removed the O2 stuff. So now I'm happy it works, but I'd still like to know what settings O2 infiltrated to stop it from working. Does anyone have a clue?

I think it have something to do with Connection settings and or Registery settings for Browser ID string (User ID String)
example:
Of youre browser ID is "Mozilla/4.0(compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows CE; PPC; 240x320)" Than you w'll get a diffrent page if you have something else.
After I changed my Browser ID (to see more free stuff from orange GRPS/Orange World) I cant get the colored page of Yahoo Too.
Can you post here youre Browser ID please?
To see youre browser ID string, Visit http://www.showip.com on youre PPC, and let me know please.
Cheers
I just bought an XDA2i and am having the same problem with the mobile Yahoo site. Since nobody has managed to unlock the extended ROM in XDA2i yet , I cannot remove the O2 stuff that is causing the problem (forcing a different connection for web adresses starting with "wap"). On my XDA2 i could unlock the extended ROM and remove the O2 bits, and this solved the problem. With XDA2i I'm stuck...
I'm trying to get my database moved to my K-Jam from my PDA2K. I can't seem to make it work. I move the .sdb, but it won't open on my K-Jam. Not sure if I'm missing something.
Thanks,
tom

This is what works for me: From the desktop SplashID app, "Export" all items in the PDA2K database to a .vid file, install SplashID on the KJAM setting the password to the same one as the desktop SplashID app and then sync. This will establish a new SplashID user (with blank data) in the desktop app with the same user name as the KJAM device name. Set the password for this new user to the same as on the KJAM SplashID. "Import" the saved database .vid file to the new user on the desktop. Make sure that SplashID is checked in the ActiveSync options and then re-sync. After that all the PDA2K data will be on your KJAM.
Frank
So there's not a way to just copy the database (or beam it) to my K-Jam?
Tom
Here's the strange part, I tried your suggestion but ran into a problem. I got the files into the SID desktop, but when I try to sync, it says the passwords don't match and it won't transfer. It takes the same password to open the desktop as it does to open the pda. Not sure what's wrong.
I keep getting "67 items unresolved" and password must match in order to sync. They do match though!
Thanks,
Tom
I don't know. This always works for me. I guess I would try uninstalling SID on the KJAM and then reinstalling it, making sure that the pw matches the desktop SID pw and then re-syncing. Seems like something is wrong with your pw somewhere so just redefining it to a simple one like "1234" on both SIDs and then syncing might be the first thing to try.
The problem that I used to have before using the procedure that I outlined before was that I would get duplicates of both the data items and the categories so I would sometimes wind up deleting all data and categories from both the desktop and PDA SIDs, then importing the data to the desktop SID from the .vid file and re-syncing. This would clear things up.
Sorry I am not more help here,
Frank
No problem....thanks for the suggestions. I just tried deleting everything I could find relating to SID and started over. No luck...password problem still. I've sent an email over to SplashData for help. Thanks again!!

I've had this several times after re-establishing an Activesync partnership. The cure is usually to reset the password on both the desktop and PPC a couple of times until they sync.
I'm trying hard to like my x1, can anyone help?
Whenever I try to access OWA using either PIE or Opera I get a page cannot be displayed error. Anyone else seen this and got a solution? OWA works fine using my E90 S60 browser.
Thanks, Martyn.
Just tried it on Opera 9.5 build 15202 and it renders really nicely - pleasantly surprised!
Doesn't work in my Opera Mobile. Can't remember the build. It's the one with Manila favs from Itje's thread.
It works nice and is really fast (as always) in latest Opera Mini.

Try Opera Mini.
I'd not like to use Opera Mini for sensible sites
like OWA. It transmits logins over a proxy,i don't
think it's a good idea...
why don't you use Active Sync? You can sync it
manually and e.g. only for the last days. But for
the most it uses less traffic then visiting
the OWA site everyday...
Better yet, set up your push email. It keeps a HTTPS session alive. You just need to install the certificate on your PC to set up the sync, which you can get from OWA.

How?
Will it work without OMA (mobile access)? I don't think so. We don't have a frontend server to support ssl connection from mobile devices, and I'm pretty sure I've tried everything.
If you have a magic way to make it work I would really like to know.
I've been having the same problem...
...and I tried Activesync, but I get a 'certificate' error. I can't figure out how to get the certificate on my device.
I spent days searching the web for an answer... and I gave up after a while.

If you have the .cer file, you just copy it to your device like any other file and run it from there. It should install. I had a few weird cert errors when trying to get mine to work but random poking and prodding seemed to get it up and running eventually.

To be honest, I don't know, I'm not the exchange admin.
My company's fairly tightfisted when it comes to IT expenditure, so I'd be surprised if they forked out anything extra.
A cursory glance at MS's documentation implies that it shouldn't be necessary because as far as the exchange server is concerned, it can't tell the difference between WinMo's client and a regular web browser. I stand to be corrected by someone who actually knows what they're talking about.
Try installing the cert and setting up your server in Active Sync. It should just work.
I had problem in my work getting this working but after a clean install of OWA on our front end server everything worked properly. The only think needed on the X1 was to import the cer file if you going to use Exchange/Active Sync connection as someone has already suggested.
IE and Opera always worked it was just Active Sync which had problems.
I've just recently got an X1 and been trying furiously to get active sync to work. But as I don't have access to the exchange server at work, I've been trying to find out how to obtain a copy of the cert from my outlook.
Haven't been able to find anything, any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Grab the cert from the OWA website, cause it should be SSL encrypted. The browser shows the encryption with a small lock symbol. Click on it an get more information about the cert. When you opened it, open the cert for the CA shown on the last register. In there choose "save to file" and copy it to your phone.
On the phone open the cert with any file explorer, that will import it into the phone's cert store. From now your phone will trust your company internal CA.
This way is only useful, if your company uses self generated certs with an internal CA. You can see this, if your browser at home (the pc there has nothing to do with your company) show an cert warning, if you open the OWA website. If you really can't get acces to this site from the internet, forget all of the above
Brilliant! I'll give that a go when I get home! I'll let you know how I get on.
Thanks again mcfisch!
I just realised what I did wrong the first time. Under server, I put the wrong address didn't I. However, I've come across another problem, Where it asks for the login credentials, there' username, password and domain, what do I put under domain?
Its all sorted now! I can't believe I was being such a dumbass! I was over complicating things way too much!
Happy days!!!!!!!!

You can also use resco fileexplorer. It's pretty good and easy to use.

u can set up a password for your home computer, but then ask the computer to do an automatic login, so you dont have to type it everytime you login... you can find this somewhere in the settings, i cant remember where i have to look it up if you are interested..

dude you need to have a password otherwise file and print sharing (the thing that lets you share folders) wont work (as far as i know)
whats wrong with a username and password anyway?

I set up a shared folder on my xp pc - when i access it via resco file explorer map drive, i leave the username and password blank, and uncheck permanent connection in the subsequent page.
It works. I can toss files back and forth.

i did read your first post
automatic login is nothing to do with passwords
just set a password, and then set windows 7 to automatically log in to your account dude
in the run dialog box type in 'control userpasswords2'
it should take you to the user accounts window
there should be a checkbox that says 'users must enter a username and password to use this computer'. uncheck that box so that it is NOT ticked.
then it should ask for your password
type it in so that it saves it and next time it should log in automatically with your password
let me know if that dont work
peace

well thanks..i had found the same procedure on the net after i had confirmed its not my mobile related thing...
You need to set a windows password then use 'control userpasswords2' to make the PC not ask for it when you start the PC up.
Hey Nookers,
I just noticed that I was logged out from the Google Apps on my Nook Simple Touch GlowLight, maybe due to the switch to using Google's 2-factor authentication.
When I tried to login again it doesn't accept my password. (Yes, 100% correct )
This happened on other devices as well, but then a button appeared that allowed me to use the "browser-based login". Not on the Nook
How can I login, with 2-factor authentication active?
Thanks in advance
Create an app-specific password and use that.
