After receiving some positive answers to my previous thread I decided to invest in a Universal. I went to a store which actually had a Qtek 9000 running and decided to try it out before paying. Browsing the web with Pocket Internet Explorer over 3G went quite smooth but to my huge disappointment Pocket IE was usesless in handling webpages using lots of tables (IE just kept resizing the page so I would get lots of scrollbars over the entire webpage, making it unusable). I tried changeing a few settings in IE but only succeded to change the page rendering into single column which made things even worse.
The webpage in question was www.sl.se.
Now to my questions:
1. Was I just plain stupid i.e. is there a way to change the settings in PocketIE so that the webpage is displayed without any resizing whatsoever (and so that one can scroll over the entire webpage)?
2. Is there any other browser software (i.e. Opera) which would support normal rendering of webpages.
Maybe it is just me who is stupid but if you have a device that support 640x400 resolution why not enable normal rendering of webpages. Normal wepbages are made with 800x600 resolution in mind, thus the amount of scrolling back and forth should not be to big of a problem.

I think you can bring up the context menu and change display format, one column, desktop, original etc.
You can also engage fullscreen mode which increases screen size.
Ensure that you have VGA mode enabled if your device supports it.

And generally, I think NetFront is considered the best 3rd party alternative.

Many thanks for the info and the screenshot!
I actually tried one column, desktop and original but was unable to get the page rendered as a full web page (it just kept resizing it to 640x400).
I would really appreciate if you could surf to www.sl.se with your Universal and post a screen dump. If it works properly I will finally bite the bullet and invest in a Universal.
Best,
Jörgen
I'm afraid that I'm not near my Universal right now. Could someone else please oblige?
Thanks,

This is using netfront. with pie it is ****!

The problem with the UNI is that by default it is in 320X240 res and you can't get to use the wonderful 640X480 screen unless you use 3rd party s/ware

I don't see that as much of a problem - Opera is free and much much better.

Hey vijay555,
What software is used to generate the "desktop" line screen view, rather than the "today" screen?
Also, what did you use to set VGA (I know of the VGA install available here - which I've tried)
However what did you do to display your dialer pad without the buttons being cropped?
And for anyone else, anyone yet know of a fix that allows us to toggle between VGA and QVGA depending on application?
Regards
Michael
Michael: the top two pictures are from a Universal running the VGA hack here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32217&highlight=
Not that it's important I think, but i'm using VJNina font modfied from from the SPV phone; I've also minimised my scrollbars down.
The second two are using Terminal Services to log onto an XP Media Center PC. I'm using my VJFullscreenTSC app to make it entirely fullscreen:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33759&highlight=
So the "desktop" start bar is coming from XP Media Center, on the PDA
I don't get your question about the Dialer buttons.
If you mean this in VGA:
this is using my VJBigPhone app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33971&highlight=
All are detailed ony my website www.vijay555.com
Another hack I'm working on is to minimise the soft buttons (the blue menu buttons at the bottom) down to a smaller size, relocate the Today tray and ultimately remove the Start Bar:

PS I don't think there's a dynamic VGA QVGA switcher yet
Vijay, great work by the way...
After much consideration, the only application I want in VGA on my Qtek 9000 is Internet Explorer Mobile. Is there any way to just make that program run in high-resolution? Everything else could be QVGA as far as I'm concerned.
I just don't like the idea of installing a ton of hacks and having to soft-reset between needs.
I swear I am starting to dribble
How about a screen shot of video playing too???

thank for this help. it is useful for me in my project

Here it´s mine with my beloved Opera
Chhers,
Pretty cool tabs!No annoying expiring-promption any more.And faster.but you still need some hack to opera.ini to move the cache files to your card.
:? Just wonder why opera still insistes on allocating the cache in the rom.

sweet! lokking goode m8!
I just really like to know how to reduce the top address bar to QVGA :? and set the Display a lower % (example 90% or 75%) as default.
Been waiting for this. I may even purchase it at the expiry date!!! From first impressions and usage, this is the best 3rd party browser yet... I just wish there were more options like the ability to 'save as' a picture, like you can in PIE. Or background loading of tabs (as in firefox) and options for where to store downloaded files and cache.. i.e. I want to store them all on the storage card..
SORT IT OUT PLEASE.. Lets not make a opera out of it!!!
Hi
I'm trying to use Opera without a GPRS connection, ie using the usb cable connected to my pc. The problem is that it fails to connect.
Does anyone have any idea's?
Thanks in advance

Mine seems to be working when connected through Activesync. Great program so far. So much faster to load than Netfront and more full featured than PIE.
MiniMo will be better (it already works with Google Maps) but there's still a lot to be done. Opera follows suit with Explorer by taking columns of data and presenting them in a single column. For sites like this one, that means a LOT of scrolling up & down. You can choose not to fit to the screen, but then you have a lot of left/right scrolling too.
We really just need some 800x600 Universal-style devices with accelerated 2D chips...
I tried this on my wizard but it seems that the font on the address bar is not properly displayed. It looks like some weird language when i write on the address bar. Anybody experience this?
I'm experiencing the strange text as well, reminds me of the old "Dingbats" system font, just a bunch of symbols. Maybe we can find our common factor here, I'm running the new AKU2 rom without the ext rom installed (I tried mucking with it, which deleted it, and then did a hard reset).
EDIT: Mysteriously switched to a usable font, unfortunately I have no idea why
it so much better then then IE its not even funny
Yes i am using the new Aku2 Imate Rom without extended rom. How could you make yours working.
I'd like to try it but don;t want a full Vario. What is the ini hack to put cache on sd? Is there maybe a thread discussing Opera an tweaks somewherer?

Hey all, dunno if this should really be wizard specific, but here goes...
I'm looking for a way to apply an animated background to my today screen, using a single GIF file. I'm not sure if it is possible myself, but the flash ones soak up so many processor cycles, on an already limited device... I have run a basic search, but i've not come up with anything other than how to use one as a sort of screensaver.
Would be nice to have some slowly animated backgrounds, like the ones I stole off my mum's new w950i (which is also very nice, although not a scratch on the wizard).
Hope someone can help, thx

Hi
iwould appreciate something like this aswell, but another thing that would be awsome is Animated caller ID or mayb if we can set short .mp4 or 3gp or .wmv file to playback a video instead of just a picture!! i no that on my symbian devices i can do it with a third party application, it has the ability to associate a .3gp as the file for a specific caller then a music video plays instead!!!!.

there are no free solutions as far as i am aware. Some software that does the trick here http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=3372 and there are others too - google to find

Ha ha sorry i misread your post try active today http://www.pocketfacelift.com/activetoday.html
Let us know if it works well, i am interested 2.
i suspect that FaceLift is just embedding an HTML control on the today screen. Can be very resource heavy for the solution. There are better apps for that job...

I am testing activetoday (diff from facelift), any recommendations V?
EDIT Activetoday works v nicely, only 47kb install and takes 200kb ram. I would consider buying
EDIT2 Seems a little buggy - you have to soft reset after each change of animated gif, but still good Still works after standby etc....
I don't know if it's actively developed anymore, but there's an app called SideX which I think is great. Lets you float keyboards, plugins etc.

That came with a great today screen html plugin, but it probably does no more then the one you mentioned - however, in the SideX package you get a ton of other features with it....

Great work, thanks!
nice idea, maybe you can identify the visitors' device ? Would be useful for devices with VGA resolution, wouldn´t it?
Great! Thanks man! Anyone using Netfront Browser or skyfire browser?

Any way that we could use our own icons?
yeah using own icons is what id like to do as well
or a way to add a link and have it recognize the pages icon automatically?

I'm not sure what you mean here. Could you explain?
well like in firefox or IE at the address bar there is the symbol to the left
and in favorites it is there as well and it just finds it without any user actions you know?
I believe he means having the web app automatically grab web page icons and use them instead. Good idea, but unfortunately web page icons aren't the same dimensions.
I think this web app is a novel idea, but I find some of the icons rather ambiguous. The icons do have alternate text seen by hovering the cursor over them, but that doesn't help much when it cannot easily be seen on a Windows Mobile device, or any other mobile device for that matter. Perhaps you could allow up to ten characters of text underneath each icon.
Thank you! Thats great!

When install it say that "No working network connection detected", but i have wifi connection. Can someone help me?
Would be great to not having to launch jbed everytime... Anyway to make an icon in the startmenu to launch Opera mini... I have it set up for the previous Opera mini but with an ugly icon, this new version seems to have a new fresh icon aswell...
wow 1000x .... just got to try it to believe it. now.. how do you make this a shortcut, or better yet the default browser.
Can install it on a winmo 6.5.1.
Receive an error message regarding authorisation failure !!!
Any Idea ????
Any idea how to make the clock that was in 4.2 reappear?
I just can't beleive this!!!!! why does it even need to have opera mobile now.....
Its just near to perfect, beleive me!!
It's very good but unfortunately doesn't seem to have an option to sync bookmarks like the old one did. Also, I'm not sure how to create an icon for it. Anyone know?

might i remind you that this is a beta.. this is exactly what betas are for, to demonstrate the concept and then apply changes according to the majority's requests.
It's really good and fast.
Problems:
1) not so easy to zoom in sometimes. Maybe it's just me, i don't know, but in some pages I cannot zoom in.
2) when you zoom in, the text doesn't auto fit the screen as the opera 9.5 does. So you have to pan to read articles especially in portrait mode.
Maybe somebody know how I can delete page from speed dial from Opera 5 beta?
