So I have the tweaks2k2 and I changed the browser to IE 6.0 so that websites will think I am browsing with IE 6. This has worked great with my banking sites that will not allow PIE.
I have a certain website I need to access and can not. Either with IE 6 glitch or with PIE. Is there anything I can do, or any program that I can use to access the website in question?
The website is www.ringcentral.com which is where I receive my faxes, so it would be great to access my faxes on the go. FISH
Today I have installed the final purchase version of Netfront 3.3 browser. I clicked on the link you mentioned and was able to fully open it. However going further required a log-in. Since I am not a registered user could not move further.
Why don't you give Netfront 3.3 a try. There is a free trial version available.
Hope this helpes
Regards
I tried the site in Opera (set as handheld and set as desktop computer, same as the IE6 trick) and in PIE, all work.
NetFront 3.3 for WM5.0 Viewed as IE 6.0
I have tweaks2tweaks set to make NetFront 3.3 show us as IE 6.0 and it is not working. When I go to Yahoo.com it is asking me to move to a higher browser namely IE6.0.
Can anybody please help with this - it is driving me batty!!!
THANKS...

In order to allow netfront 3.3 to behave as a real IE 6 you can write your own user-agent as follows:
1: Go to menu / tools / browser settings and the misc tab.
2: The user agent drop down list will be showing "Netfront v3.3 Standard"
3: From the drop down list select the --- and press edit
4: Under Title enter any name say Real PC
5: In the user agent field very carefully write the following keeping very special care of spaces and colons:
Mozilla/4.0 (Compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0/5.0) Opera 8.60
6: In appName write Internet Explorer
7: In appVersion write 6.0
8: in appCodeName write Mozilla
9: in Language / platform write en and pc respectively and press the ok soft key
Now make sure by navigating to tools / browser settings / misc tab that the user agent you have just written is selected in the drop down list.
You should now be able to access almost any website that the real IE can do. I have had quite a bit of success with this user agent and hope this helps you as well.

I have always used MultieIE and Opera Browser,
Multie IE takes over the pointless included PIE browser and adds tabs etc,
Opera a seperate program, although a little Large in Size its fine when installed to mem card.
effectively and this is active for my Nationwide Tinternet Banking, if a site cant be accessed by Multi then Opera will get it,
At work so cant test it on Multi at the moment, but i will update this post when i get chance,
**edit**
OK Using MultiIE I have been able to get to the homepage without problem but also i have no login details so cant really test it fully

Well, it doesn't need to be THAT complicated. Please read the NetFront 3.3 section in my article "TUTORIAL: Change the User Agent your Pocket PC browser uses to make Web servers think you’re a fully-fledged desktop browser!" at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=796&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 . It's full of screenshots.

MultiIE 4.0 is pretty OK, albeit, now, I'd recommend PIEPlus over it.
where can i get Multi IE or PIE plus ?

1) Making the picture size when a contact calls me bigger? Its always a small thumbnail size of their picture, I'd like to full size it, or, even full screen, just something bigger.

Disguise your version of Pocket Internet Explorer Internet Explorer 6.0 running on Windows XP!
Many web sites that require encryption (such as banks and online retailers) don't verify if your browser support high encryption, they just check the browser version.
This registry hack will make Pocket Internet Explorer identifies itself as Internet Explorer 6.0 running on Windows XP, which may let you connect to web site that check the browser version
NOTE - This hack will prevent web sites that provide Pocket PC specific content to be able to know you're actually using a Pocket PC.
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent \
Change the default value from "Mozilla/2.0" to "Mozilla/4.0".
Change the "Version" value from "MSIE 3.02" to "MSIE 6.0".
Change the "Platform" value from "Windows CE" to "Windows NT 5.1".
Some web sites may just compare the user agent string, but if this is not enough, browse to the Post Platform\ sub key and delete the "240x320" value that specifies screen size.

since purchasing my hd I have had the beauty constantly on the internet. I use it pretty much all the time. I do however have one problem, i an not sure hd it is something I have done but when I open an rss feed's link in the rss hubb I can never get the links to open in opera. instead I hatedtm copy and paste. I an sure there's a registry hack for this so could anyone help?
I'm also trying to do the same...
please help
at least let us know if it's possible!!
Open up your favourite registry editor (I use CeRegistryEditor), and check:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\EFBROWSER
It should be set to "\Windows\OperaL.exe". If this doesn't work, try searching for iexplore.exe.
ok i found it you have to change the key
hklr\http\shell\open
change to opera and reboot!
thanks dave
I tried this but still couldn't get it to work.
Has anyone any ideas please?
1) Open Opera Mobile
2) Type opera:config into the address, this gives you access to tons of preferences
3) Expand the install bullet
4) Check Browser First Time Launch and press Save
5) Exit Opera
6) Restart Opera
The first time you restart it will take a while, and may even close without showing you the browser, but now open a link from e-mail or other source and it should use Opera to open.

Awesome, thanks fella. IE opening all the time was annoying the hell out of me. Apart from flash support, Opera is a significantly superior browser.

lost opera as default...again!
Opera 9.7b browser messed up my config...
Right... I really hope that someone can help me out here.
This is an old boring problem I once had with Opera, but I had then found my answer. Only this time the remedy won't work: Basically, after trying out Opera 9.7b and then uninstalling it, the cooked Opera browser in Dutty's 3.6 won't function as my default browser anymore (when I click on links from Google Maps for example)...
So I used the usual solution:
1) Open Opera Mobile
2) Type opera:config into the address, this gives you access to tons of preferences
3) Expand the install bullet
4) Check Browser First Time Launch and press Save
5) Exit Opera
6) Restart Opera
But the config above doesn't seem to stay in the system, once Soft reset, I can see that it is unchecked again... Could somebody shine a light on my moment of darkness please?
Edit: all sorted thanks to registry edit above...

Actual article present on my blog here.
I posted earlier about how to access the Mobile TV on HTC Touch HD on my blog here. But later I found out that method as an inadequate one to continue in normal usage. So I did some more R&D at home around this and found the perfect method of doing so !
So here you go now.
My HTC Touch HD has, L26 v9.0 WWE ROM and you need following software before proceeding further.
* AdvancedConfig – for doing the configuration changes on Internet Explorer User agent
* PHM registry editor – for making the changes to rtsp default player
Vodafone Live! runs primarily on S60 based devices and I had an excellent experience of it running on my earlier Nokia N95. So you need to try and ‘fool’ the system at Vodafone to assume your phone as a N95 instead of Internet Explorer running on a Windows Mobile phone. To do so, you need to change the ‘mobile’ user agent string of your Internet Explore browser to the one used for N95. Use the following steps to change the user agent string.
1. Run AdvancedConfig
2. Expand Internet Explorer option
3. Click on User Agent custom base
4. Change the value as follows
Mozilla/5.0 (SymbianOS/9.2; U; Series60/3.1 NokiaN95/11.0.026; Profile MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1) AppleWebKit/413 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/413
Once you are done with this, to ensure that the change has worked, Open the internet explorer browser and go to the website http://www.useragentstring.com. Your browser should recognize your device as N95 using Mozilla Safari browser.
If this happens, then you have passed the first step!
Now go to Start –> Settings –> Connections –> Connections –> Advanced –> Select networks
Select “Contract WAP” as the default network and you are good to go.
Just to test if this works.. try accessing http://live.vodafone.co.uk via your Internet Explorer browser (in a Mobile mode, not Desktop mode) and see if it works for you.
It worked for me and I hope it would work for you.
However, I had one issue with HTC Streaming Media that the rtsp link would not play. Hence I had to go and change the default RTSP player to WMPlayer.exe by modifying the registry.
If you too are having similar issue, then open PHM registry editor and access the key \HKCR\rtsp\Shell\Open\Command. Change the default value from StreamingPlayer.exe to WMPlayer.exe “%1” and you should be able to view the streaming from your Windows Media player.
Try the above steps and let me know how it goes…
What .. no reply? :-(
Hey!
So, I have done exactly as you said, but no luck... the User Agent does not change. To be mentioned: I am using Dutty's XTREME v2.1. Perhaps the User Agent Code is stored in another place, not where AdvancedConfig expects to find it...

Dunno much about Dutty's ROM. I had it earlier and the above process did not work for me there .. probably because the Internet Explorer browser in there has a hard coded useragentstring in browser.dll
I tried the above on L26 ROM and it worked .. in fact to my surprise ... !
Hello!
Just an update. Everything works fine with Opera Mobile 6.5; there it is easyer to change the User Agent String. I replaced it with the string you gave and ... everything is working fine. Couldn't convince IEM6 to work, though! Ah, well... the procedure how to change to a Custom Agent String in Opera is described here: "In opera:config, User Perfs there is a setting called “Custom User-Agent”.". Good luck!
One question: where can I find this browser.dll in my device? Oh, and the quality of the live stream from VodafoneLive is lousy!
Thanks ...
I dunno about the browser.dll, supposedly in the Windows folder somewhere. I suggest you not to try and play with that, otherwise you will corrupt your IE forever.
I tried on IE first and it worked, so never bothered to try on Opera. Kept opera separately and in tact for web browsing ..

Hello everyone, I wonder if there is another version of facebook.But I'm pretty sure he is not in.
I think everyone agrees with me that this version is totally horrible. Why Facebook is for Windows phone so poorly made? Compared to that of android or iphone! I am ready to create a group for those who are prepared to 0.5 dollars per person for the dévellopers trying to create a true version of facebook for windows phone like android and iphone! Personally i am ready to invest in another version of facebook
What do you think? Thank you everyone, I hope I was clear
Open Opera --> www.facebook.com
Why complain about a stupid app that is totally unnecessary?

that's your opinion, this post is dedicated to people who often uses facebook, and for these people, use opera + facebook.com is not terrible
there is a never version of the facebook app that is available, for free, from ms marketplace. It's versioned 1.2 as opposed to v1.1 that comes preinstalled but i do agree with the other posters, Use opera, but you may need to change the user agent string in the newer versions to get the full site instead of the mobile one (i certainly had to)

Then try touch.facebook.com or m.facebook.com
There is a facebook for everyone.
And yes, I use it quite often and, as you see, the facebook app misses some important options.
So simply add a shortcut in the Internet tab and everything is fine.

To change the Custom User Agent field in Opera's config.
Open Opera and goto the address bar
Enter opera:config (make sure there is no http etc)
Scroll down to User Prefs and open the section
Scroll down to Custom User Agent
Remove everything in the box and enter the following string:
HTC_HD2_T8585 Opera/9.7 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)
Then scroll to the bottom of the list and there will be a save button, click it.
That works for me, I think the important part for whether its mobile or desktop version is in the brackets...
Another vote for touch.facebook.com

Thanks for the confirmation. My instinct told me to go back and check the "Leo Hints and Tips" thread to change it back from the Touch HD settings. So I was right. Funnily enough, the status box on the full FB website now works again!
Thanks.
