Internet Banking problems

I've had my Exec a few weeks now and generally am well chuffed however a big problem seems to be it will not log in to my internet banking
Does anyone know how or if it's possible to log in to Abbeys IB?
A friend of mine has no problem with HSBC so I guess it must be Abbey some how.
Anyone got it to work?

I don't bank with Abbey, but if I was to take an educated guess, its most likely because their internet banking website needs a browser that supports Java and I do not think PIE does.

I am with Abbey, I think their site does not recognise the Universal browser (PIE) and so throws up the page you are getting. I seem to remeber seeing a post on XDA-Developers regarding changing the registry to make PIE report itself as a standard IE on a desktop PC, Abbey would think everything is okay and would continue sending you the pages you are meant to see, how PIE handles them is another matter but from memory their site is nothing clever and PIE should be able to handle it okay.
Good luck,
Let me know if you get anywhere

Ok guys, any of you clever so and sos know how to do this?

Go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent\ key.
Set the default value to "Mozilla/4.0" (Default is "Mozilla/2.0").
Set the "Version" value to "MSIE 5.5" (Default is "MSIE 3.02").
Set the "Platform" value to "Windows NT 5.0" (Default is "Windows CE").

You are a genius!!!
It's working a treat

Would that cause any problems with other webpages or would it just ensure you always get the full webpage as in a desktop ie ? Its like when I go to google on my Exec, I always get the cut down pda version.

I believe it would only cause problems where the website you're visiting delivers content based on the user-agent. By making those registry changes, you are basically telling PocketIE to pretend that it's a full version of IE running on Windows XP, so any sites that are optimised for spitting out mobile content would send you the full version (including google; try it and see, you can always change the values back to what they were). If you want to get the PDA interface to google every time, just go to http://www.google.com/pda (or www.google.countrycode/pda ), this works in whatever browser you use.

del.icio.us favorites using Pocket IE

I enjoy the freedom of being able to access my favorites (through del.icio.us) anywhere. This need was a increased when I got my Universal, unfortunately del.icio.us does not have a mobile optimized view, so I hacked together a couple of html pages to allow me to browse my tags and favorites in a simplified mobile view.
If you would like to give them a go, I have attached the two files in a zip. Unzip the file and drop the two html files somewhere (in the same directory) on your PDA. Mine are in /My Documents.
Open the file 'delicious.html' in PIE. The easiest way is to find the file using the File Explorer and open it. When you have loaded it why not bookmark it (or go wild and set it as your homepage).
These files are not Universal specific, but haven't tried them on any other PDA - should work on most Windows Mobile 5 devices though (perhaps even WM2003).
Have fun,
Martin
p.s. There is also a service called mobilicio.us for mobile access to del.icio.us, try it out, (I find this too WAP focused for my needs)

Update to support Google search and google mobile proxy
Just made a couple of updates. (The new files are in the attached zip).
1) I thought it would be handy to create a special page to start from - so I have put google's xhtml search on it as well as listing all items tagged as mobilefavorites from del.icio.us. If you want this, set your home page to DeliMobile.html (to get to the full tag list, just click on the page header)
2) Against each link I have put the option to view the page through Googles mobile rpoxy - giving you a more lighweight view of some pages. This means I didn't have to bookmark both a full and a mobile version of each link.
Hope you enjoy,
Martin

Browsing certain website s with Internet Explorer 6.0

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 ?

pocket IE to full access IE

Hi guys, just a quick and imple question.....
how can i turn my pocket IE to a full IE so that i can view full websites and not be pointed to a mobile version of some websites.... Its very annoying.
I did it once before, but i cant remember what i did and cant find any posts that show how to change reg to do it...
cheers.
Joey

Yeah, just change the user agent. It's in the wiki somewhere.

Change Pocket IE to IE Version 5.5 (For Secured Sites)
* Go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent\ key.
* Set the default value to "Mozilla/4.0" (Default is "Mozilla/2.0").
* Set the "Version" value to "MSIE 5.5" (Default is "MSIE 3.02").
* Set the "Platform" value to "Windows NT 5.0" (Default is "Windows CE").
This will only work on some secure sites that check version number rather than perform a check for support of secured transactions.
This registry hack will make Pocket Internet Explorer identify itself as IE 5.5 on Windows 2000. However it will prevent web sites that provide Pocket PC specific content to be able to know you're actually using a Pocket PC.
..................................................................................................
im assuming you mean the above,
ive checked my reg files and it shows on mine that :
mozilla is set to 4.0
MSIE is set to 6.0
platform is set to Windows CE
this is default with WM6. ive changed them and it still does not work.....
any suggestions??

Vodafone Live! on HTC Touch HD ..

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 ..
