I just tried to go to a site in Internet Explorer on my Tytn tonight (I was successfully surfing the web all day today) and no matter what website I try to go to, I get redirected to www.ownbox.com/treasure/videogames.html!! I searched the whole forum, and did a google and turned up nothing in the forums and only that it is in fact a hijack site, but found no instructions for fixing it.
Anyone ever heard of this... on Windows Mobile no less??

First day consider a hard reset should fix it. Did not think there were any virus's in the wild that infect WM devices yet?

This is where your "virus" takes you... By the way what's in your host file?
When you're done cleaning, reset your browser's home page and stop clicking all around next time when you're downloading pr0n (ie tonight ).
Muhahahaha, pwnt.
lol nice "virus" you got there

Where it is under WM5? I've tried to create \Windows\hosts to add a couple of records, to no avail. I wish I knew where it should be!
I'm glad everyone is so entertained by my first-day woes and surfing habits.
In any case, can anyone help me along here so I don't have to do a hard reset... when you say "what's in your host file?" Where can I find that? Is this where I will be able to clean this thing out? I can't imagine it would be near as hard to get rid of malware in a PPC as it is in a desktop. Then again, I could easily be wrong there too!
Thanks again.
Check in your java applets and you homepage setting?
Homepage setting is still the original one //\Windows/default.htm. I took a look at default.htm with Notepad on my desktop to see if it's compromised and it's not. Very strange.
I've also looked at the registry settings for IE and I don't see anything out of the ordinary, although, I'm far from an expert in what the typical registry entries are for IE!
Try over at 4winmobile.com as well mate and Modaco, in for a penny and all that!
Just do a hard reset, and stop surfing porn sites!
Google is good for porn, but also good for looking for solution to porn related problems

Bydandie - thanks, I'm looking around in those forums right now.
Hanmin - those are great resources... I downloaded the pocket hosts program just to verify what I saw in the registry under Comm/Hosts. Unfortunately, the only host I'm showing in there is 169.254.2.2 which is the ppc's relationship with ActiveSync. This would lead me to believe that the problem lies somewhere else. The Pocket Hosts app is a great little app though, and I'm definitely keeping it.
By the way, to everyone else, I know you're just kidding around about the pornsites thing, but this issue arose out of me accidentally typing a "w" instead of an "e" in the address bar. If you navigate to www.googlw.com by accident, this is the result. Look it up on google if you don't believe me... just be sure to type GOOGLE, not GOOGLW!!!
A hard reset is going to be my very last resort as I already have a ton of apps on here that I put on yesterday. I don't have a storage card yet so running a backup isn't an option, besides the fact that once I were to run a restore on the newly-reset device, it would just bring the issue back anyway.
Thanks to everyone thus far for you help! The search continues!!
Spybot S&D have a mobile version - maybe try that? never found anything on mine but would not really expect it to as had no problems.
Crazyc, thanks, I had no idea Spybot had a mobile version... pretty cool.
Unfortunately, I downloaded it and ran it on my Tytn, and it finds nothing.
I'm tearing apart the internet left and right trying to find something... apparently I'm the first person in the world who has typed googlw.com by accident??
Onward I trudge...
There aren't any viruses, or spyware for Windows Mobile. If you synced with ActiveSync, it has all the programs still on your computer, just choose the Add/Remove Programs option from AS after you hard reset.
Everyone,
After several soft resets and clearing of all History, Files, and Cookies, both through the Options, and by manually going into the folders, as well as running Memmaid 3 different times, it FINALLY appears that the issue has gone away.
I wish I knew where exactly in the process the problem was solved, or what was done to solve it, but for now, I'm just happy to not have to do a hard reset, and actually be able to use IE again.
Thanks a ton to everyone for your help and suggestions. I hope to be able return the favor in the near-future to someone who has a problem I've experienced and solved.
Let this be a lesson to everyone... before you hit "Go" on your browser, make SURE you've spelled the website name correctly in the address bar... apparently googlw.com is just one of many of these kinds of "typosquatting" sites.
Cheers!
I've just gone into googlw.com and try to see what happened there.. and what script it is using to cause all the havoc.. but apparently, it has been .. solved? It redirects me to the proper google site.
I spoke to soon.
The problem is back. When I said it had gone away, I was accessing the internet through my activesync connection to my pc, and with that there are no problems. Once I disconnected from my pc and tried to browse through Cingular, the problem is back. Errrrrrrrrrgh!!
Also, it looks like this issue is exclusive to IE. I installed Opera and Minimo to test, and they both surf the web with no problems.
[email protected] is listed in the today plugins on my Ameo but what is it?
i have turned all the plugins off and just toggled this on and off but cant see owt...

cheers
Opera is on the ROM.

You mean "should be" a lot of people, including me have had problems where it doens't show up anywhere.
I've had three of these so far, and none have it installed. It installs Cabs with "opera" in them on the hard reset, but nothing shows....
Does anyone know what this T-Mobile @ Home should be?
Can no-one provide a screen shot of what this "T-Mobile @ Home" thing should look like??? :-(

I dont think it should "look" like anything, I think it modifies behaviour of the device in an un-specified way. You dont actualy "see" a today item.
I had an Ameo, It had opera. I did a hard reset, Opera was gone!!!
I replaced the Ameo (for another fault) and that one has opera, a hard reset and opera is still there.
Very strange.
I was one of those who had missing Opera during one of the hard reset. However, I think it is not missing, but merely not installed properly. You recall that whenever a CAB run there is a prompt to confirm that we would authorise the installation of a software? I believe that I might have absent mindedly provided the wrong response without realising it, and the device merely obeyed my instruction to leave it out from the installation.
I can't see opera in my programs screen either.
However it opens when I press the web'n'walk button.

Opera is on all of them but it may be called Web & Walk instead, it is a branded version of Opera developed for T-Mobile
i uninstalled an opera upgrade and then opera doesnt work. i installed the latest beta from opera to get a clean install but i think the link to opera is lost as it wont start when i press the "launch browser" button.
how can i sort this out?
"Launch Browser" Opera does not start up
Hi Guys,
I have also the problem, that after installation to the new Opera and uninstalling the old one, the "Launch Browser" doesn´t find the link to Opera.
I checked the registry and I follow actually all advises from this forum, but no one was successfully.
I wrote one time ago, that the xml-file to this "Lauch Browser (link)" has to be changed, but what I said before, I can´t remember.
I think it can be developed to a big issue, because if we want to upgrade or totaly changing the Browser, the link to "Launch Browser" will not work anymore.
So please, if anyone knows how to change the link, let us know.
Thx
Dude

but to do an hardreset, is not an successfull solution. In Diamond Forum they discribe how to do with the xml-file, but they don´t say wich file it is. some they say it is a Manilafile some other people say it isn´t a manilafile.
Even other People said that any change they are doing is not functionally.
What I don´t understand is, we have so many seriously developers they can even change our HD to anything else what we ask for, of any Theme of any Slider of any Topbar, but it seems that there is no one, who can really help.
Soon or later, we all will get problem, because if Firefox or any other Browser will developed to higher and faster Browser, we will like to have it, but if we install it, than we can delete one from the 15 Sliderbutton "Browser"
hey guys, don not know, whether the problem may cause on other pages... but there is an issue with the website studivz.net.
I wrote more than three times to the sony ericsson-support...but they answered me to make a hard-reset and use opera mobile instead of internet explorer.
I thought they're just kidding me...because I wrote them that there are few people having the same problem USING OPERA on studivz.net...
ohere you may see the problem with a black col that becomes bigger and bigger each time I press any link on the page...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cKCJ25a6zE
perhaps anybodyy of you know how to work around...
got the same problem on meinvz and other pages aswell.
just keep in mind ... the opera version u are using is still BETA. it has plenty of bugs (hardcoded text block formatting f.e.)
well ... we'll see what future versions and browser bring here.
I'm trying to contact opera...but there seems to be no support-mailaddress available?!
I sent the link to the German Sony Ericsson-support as well...hope they'll answer seriously...
and I noticet the support-team of studiVZ.

Does it need flash or anything? I can't see anything using the dev tools
Have you tried netfront browser?
the 3.5 "concept version" is one of my favourites, not to everyones taste but might be worth a try.
http://www.access-company.com/products/mobile_solutions/netfrontmobile/browser/35_wm_tp.html
Obviously leaving a message on the opera forums would be a good thing as well.
I found a support-mail-contactmailer on the webpage of opera and informed them about this issue. sent the link to this video as well.
perhaps I'll give the netFront a try...but I'd more like to use the opera...
the page doesn't use flash...but ajax. for opening message-windows (in the video you may see, it doesn't work with opera...)
well, I installed the new official rom and this issue has gone.
works find now. but ajax-messages won't open at all.
is there anything I can do?
and I hate that you have to zoom in before you are able to click a link/input-field in the new build of opera.
hope they make this "feature" checkable per box in the settings.
or anybody may find out, what to change in the registry.
another fine thing would be a tutorial that describes how to set opera opening tabs in the background instead of making new tabs active.
especially on ebay this is bugging me.
and at last I think it would be great to set the identity of opera as desktop-browser. I hate google-, gmx-, or especially ebay-mobile... if I could choose the identity of opera all would be fine
Hi,
has anyone else the same problem?
the keyboard doesnt pop up when clicking on a text box. not even the keyboard-sign appears in the lower bar, so typing is not possible. it is esp. annoying in opera because browsing is kind of senseless without a keyboard.
i'm using my touch hd exclusively in landscape mode. The autorotate program is flip it and im running duttys v3.
would like to know if more ppl have this problem

Similar problems posted in Duttys V3.0 thread. You answer lies within that thread if you search
In future try and post queries in relevent threads instead of creating new threads.
I'm only saying this to help you as Mod's will issue you with a warning and close thread. Try and abide my forum rules

that was me posting in the dutty v3 thread but there werent many replies. only one or two encountered the same problems since a lot of the dutty users seem not use landscape mode.
apart from that i dont really know if this has to be discussed in the dutty development thread since it could also be a problem of winmo or flipit or anything else. my research brought me to the conclusion that winmo is responsible for showing an input device whenever a text box is marked.
also the dutty thread is too big already. i have to read 10 or more pages to see if someone answered to the question. too many ppl asking how to flash or how to make their cats flash devices
so, if anyone has the same problem pls post here with your config
thx

Sorry if these same obvious or if you have already tried/stated these. I'm just asking these questions to get a better understanding of your problem and to see if I can replicate/solve your issue
Have you had similar problem on any other roms?
Is it standard HTC keyboard you are using?
Have you tried using HDTweak Automatic display pop up?
Have you tried a hard reset and then testing keyboard before installation of apps, then adding each app one at a time to see if any of them are conflicting with it?

I don't think I've had this problem on a non-Dutty ROM, but I'm not sure about that.
I use Fingerkeyboard.
I haven't tried the tweak you mention - but I'm not sure it would change anything since the problem is NOT PERMANENT! Sometimes the keyboard does pop up, sometimes it doesn't. Seems to be pretty random...

SOrry for the late reply...
i dont think i had the same problem with standard rom (autorotate app was changescreen)
i tried standard htc and fingerkeyboard
no, i havent tried hdtweak since the duttyroms are already tweaked by duttythroy and i dont want to mess it up. what exactly does the function "automatic display pop up"?
i hard reset after flash and tested directly afterwards. same problem.
does anyone know if this problem is still in duttys 3.3?
thx
hdizzel
The problem is still there in v3.3,i have read every possible thread and did every possible search,i cannot find anything mentioned about this and i cannot find a solution. It is kinda lame to have to rotate the phone everytime i need to write smthing on opera,but meh i can live with this inconvenience, Dutty's Rom is worth it tbh.
Even so if anyone finds anything pls report back would be nice to solve this

Currently using V3.3 and I'm still not replicating your problem. If I use Opera or msm in landscape fingerkeyboard automatically pops up for me.
I've used HD Tweak with basically every rom I've flashed and had no problems with it. I'd go as far as saying it actually improves the phones experience and userability.
Try using it and see if it also helps you with your keyboard display
The funny thing is that i have HD Tweak installed(and auto pop enabled),and had it on every rom i used(well basically all of Dutty's Roms since 2.4),dont know what is going on.Maybe it is smth else on my phone,will try reflashing and using Fingerkeyboard only as the first app.Btw this only happens in opera for me.

ok, I finally see were your coming from as I am experiencing it as well. Not sure why this is though. I'll look into it and see if I can find a solution.
I never really use landscape to be honest, especially in Opera as loading time of pages is slower.
well i use landscape on opera mainly for forum browsing cause i can see more text!anyways awaiting on news about this,and i am gonna try some tweaking around myself.
Arrgh!!! Really annoying, Clownshoes figured it out before me!!! LOL. Trust you mate!!
Ok mate, it seems it does work, you have to hold down for 2 secs in input field, no more, no less and it should then pop up. You can thank Clownshoes for that one!
Let me know how you get on

Hmm,i might be doing something wrong,i press and hold in the input field for 2secs or so and nothing really happens,well if i press for more the opera menu pops up "select all" but other than that nothing.
Maybe it has something to do with keyboard settings like the popup timer or something similar,although my settings are on default. i'll keep trying though.
Thanks for trying to solve this

ok, which method are you using to rotate opera? Are you using FlipIt?
I've noticed if I set flipit to 0 and 270 degrees and then enter opera. The first time the keyboard will not pop up. But if I exit opera and then re-enter it works fine.
Have you tried a soft reset?
It seems to be very sensitive. Try using just the tip or nail of your finger in the text entry area for about a second.
It also helps if you double tap to zoom into the text entry box.
I've just tested it by doing it over and over again and using the tip of my finger seems to work every time.
this is very weird,i got it to pop but it is extremely sensitive,dunno what makes it behave like this.
Anyways thanks for the solution guys.
