My ISP "airtel" is providing me a gprs/edge connection for the last two days from now. But the damn problem is that I can't download anything more that 3mb. So I have downloaded several browsers to find the same thing in the internet explorer option to change the proxy. But I cant do that in pocket IE because doesn't have that option. So I tried Different Browsers to check if they have there own anonymouse proxy settings.
BROWSER Built in Proxy Settings SPEED Rating
OPERA 9.5 NONE Fast 10/10
OPERA 8.65 NONE Very Fast 8/10
WINDOWS INTERNET EXPLORER NONE Fast 5/10
MINIMO YES SLOW 4/10
FTX NONE MEDIUM 6/10
OPERA MINI Running On jbed NONE VERY FAST 8/10
NetFront 3.5 YES ULtra Fast 9.5/10
Webby NONE Medium 6/10
IF THERE ARE MORE PLEASE LET ME KNOW...
MINIMO DEOSN"T WORK ON GPRS, It works Well WITH LAN/WLAN But Doesn't work with egprs/gprs
...... NOTHING WORKED...
HELP ME!!!
NEtfront 3.5 Supports proxy but i Haven't tested it yet.
So far the fastest is Netfront which makes you browse like hell. Like you have a 8mbps connection. Although Its fast and effective it has very a big problem. The downloader has a problem that needs to be fixed but no problem with WLan. If you have slow connection, I would not recommend this. Rather FTX or PocketIE.
You've left out Skyfire, but it's still in beta testing, so maybe not a good candidate for this, yet.
I never could get skyfire to start on my Wizard..It would start and say "Lost network connection. Please try again later." and the only option is exit
That's probably because you didn't get yourself invited to be in the beta test. You have to go to Skyfire's website, and sign up for it. You give them your cell number and phone type, and if they need someone with your model, they send you a text message after configuring their servers to approve your phone when it requests service for Skyfire. Then you can install the browser, enter your password (only during the first run of the browser), and after that, you're off and running.
If you don't register, you don't get in. Period.
FWIW, I wouldn't bother, if what you're seeking is web anonymity. Skyfire has your phone number and presumably can easily tie you to your browsing history through that. Probably the exact opposite of whatever pr0n search you're planning....
Na,... I woudn't use skyfire until its out,..
Ive Tried another browser... its called Ucweb and its in java
I run it under jbed
I can pass the 3mb limit but the speed is very slow
I am still open for suggestions
Hi, due to your suggestin i tried to download netfront but cant. can someone upload it? please?
just wondering , any of this browsers support streaming videos ? ( like youtube )
SKYFIRE SUPPORTS IT!!!!!
Even YOUTUBE, THE HARDEST SITE YET KNOWN (ESPN)
Support for quicktime streams to!
But you have to sign up for the next beta
Ive already sign up (two accounts... don't tell them!)
hehehe i won't
the thing is, skyfire is open only for the united states and not for th e whole world ... plus no one seems to crack it.
so for middle eastern like me it will not work .
CAN THIS WORK?
My brother lives in the usa,can I give his phone number instead of mine and just email him to give me the download link.
I THINK THIS SHOULD WORK?
MAN!!!! I WANT SKYFIRE!

This can only work if the phone trying to access SkyFire has the same phone number and valid password as the account which signed up for the beta. Sign up with your own phone number, phone type, etc. or you just won't be able to use SkyFire, period. That is the very definition of a closed test. See their FAQ page for more info.
See, I could upload the cab file right here, and you still won't be able to use it... go ahead and try for yourself.
Damn, there's gotta be a way to bypass the login and phone number. how about just freaking remove the authentication
SkyFire is resolving pages server-side. Without a valid login, you just can't get to their server, so you never see the intarwebs. Pretty simple.
Is it possible to install IE, I couldn't find it there. Although Opera is good for many things some sites do not display well in it (eg www.livedepartureboards.co.uk) whereas in IE they display a special low-res version automatically?
I installed TomTom and was configuring it when it asked me if I'd like to download some more maps. I clicked on yes and it brought up Internet Explorer. So it must be hidden away somewhere maybe?

Hi, there is something called a "user agent" that you can specify. It's a string, that some websites are set up for (like google).
It's either that the webpage desides to send you the full or mobile version of the site depending on the user agent of your browser, or the site site has information and links for your browser to choose, depending on your user agent.
In short, you can change the user agent string of your browser (pie or opera) to match that of a browser on your xp or vista desktop, making sure your mobile browser allways loads the full page. Or you can choose not to.
Opera tends to load full pages anyway, even if the user agent is set to a kind of mobile browser, because of the zooming capabilities (pretty darn selfrightious
pie is not that smart.
google user agent for more info.

alternatively, it's there in the 'All Programs' list in the bottom left corner when on the Programs slide in TF3D.
I just added it into one of the empty slots on that screen for ease of access
(Opera doesn't seem to like my works frame based webmail, but IE copes with it ok)
Netfront browser is another very good alternative. I find that it renders some website more accurately than Opera Browser. An example include cnn.com and smh.com.au.
I am using a software which provides me information in the forms of texts and figures. Everytime when I opened figures on my HD, Opera activated itself and took over the role of viewing figures. Subsequently, all the informations including texts and figures must be viewed by the Opera, and crashes frequently occured. I wonder if Opera could be inactivated so to prevent this problem.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
Can anyone help?
I think your problem is that Opera is declared to be the standard browser. Maybe changing this would help. As far as I know this is done by changing some registry keys.
Is it possible to change the link in Touchflo 3D on my blackstone from opera to another browser ?
I dream to click on the Internet'tab, and when I tap on Earth's picture :NetFront run instead of Opera.
I couldn't find a way to change the default browser. Does anybody know how to do it?
I remember having to do this on one of my older PDAs. I believe the instructions that I followed were roughly similar to the ones found at this link.
Note that this is actually for Windows Mobile 5, but there's a good chance they will still work. Just make sure you note down all of your original settings before you change anything. And, as always, try at your own risk.

i had the same problem. i was using uptodate medical program. the software is designed to be used with PIE. so what i did was google the regedit. there are a lot of regs to be editted to change from opera to PIE. basically what u could do is open regedit on a pda without opera browser. just change the main .html, .htts etc to pie. hope this helps for a start. but if you still have problem. post a reply and i'll give full regedit amendments. thanks
please e_cam23, i am also a fellow uptodate user and i have the same problem.. using uptodate on the blackstone is a painful experience for me :'( sometimes it works and sometimes opera opens and then crashes and takes me back to the previous uptodate page pleeeeeease help me out i am trying to make IE the default bs i couldn't on my own..
UpToDate
In the latest version(16.3) of UptoDate, crashes occur far less frequently. Try it out and you will feel relieved!
I am not sure where to get it from i got it from a friend on a dvd..
forgot to say that all the method i found for touch pro and diamond and kaiser did not work on my hd.. editing registry values in RAI under shell to iexplore and Pocket ie,, also a file by darkness which tells me unsuccessful installment when i run it :S
In new opera (official release), there is an option default browser inactivation.
It may help you, freinds
change default browser on Touch HD
double post
Sorry
All,
from my understanding Opera is 'hardcoded' in TF3D, changes in the registry will not have the effect you want. From my knowledge there are two ways to overcome this.
1. use SSMaPa to patch another default browser into Manila.exe (works also for some other applications)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407777
2. use VJBrisk to route the program launch of Opera to your preferred browser
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=477519
I hope this helps

install new version of opera doesnt mater wether on the device memory or the storage card but i did it on the storage and then uninstall it you'll end up with explorer being the default browser for everything and this is the only way that worked for me
It may help

Repost from my other post for HTC Dash (Excalibur) This version is for the Snap:
Mobile Browser for our HTC Dash 3G Snap, its called UCWEB Super Browser 6.63. This is the formal non-beta release, it is very stable (has not crached or froze up yet and I've been using it for a few days), it is very fast, has TONS of options and well (I hate to say it) is a bit better then Opera Mobile. It works flawlessly with Google (like Googles new "my location" feature on mobile search, GMail and others where Opera does not work or only half works. Security is very good and its fast as heck in rendering (it renders pages on the device not a remote server) pages and gives you the option of preformating to your devices screen size.
A quick feature summery:
Main Features:
• FREEWARE - Its free cant get better then that
• Adaptation for small screen
• Data traffic statistics
• Visited history
• Domain name quickly input
• Supporting multi-formatted file
• Supporting web local-storage
• Multi-windows browsing
• Page dynamic optimization
• Picture optimizing display
• Shortcut Keys (user defined)
• RSS Feed Subscriptions
• Built in E-mail Client for POP3 and IMAP, full support for attachments
• Comprehensive search features (user definable)
• Download Manager - Resume broken download connections
• Personal Data Manager - Saves web sites to your device, export bookmarks
All in all I give it a solid 10 out of 10
Check it out here: UCWEB6
Download the Windows Mobile 6.1 CAB file here: UCWEB6-63-300-33-09021910
I really like this browser. its super fast... definitely worth a try
its fast..its cool BUT it doesnt support Flash..which is major since i use CNBC for there stock ticker.
if they implemented flash . this would be the best browser hands down!
I am impressed.
Up until I bought the Ozone, I had always relied on PIE, IE6, and Opera Mobile. With Ozone in hand, IE6 was my only browser as Opera Mini and Skyfire are not worth the download. I never really cared for the interface and limitations. At least IE6 was simple to use, tabbed support and the ability to switch to column browsing would make it much better.
But, out of nowhere, this speedy simple browser beats them all. It will take a bit of adjusting to get used to the interface, but this will become my browser of choice. The only downside is flash or lack thereof.
In reality, I think most people will utilize different browsers for different tasks. Most of the web sites I visit are simple in structure and work wonderfully with this browser.
I'm sold. Thank you for providing a useful tool. Hopefully, someone might cook this into a new rom to have fun with.
Flash support is on the way, hopefully soon
Does UCweb works like operamini and skyfire i.e. through their server or does it work like opera mobile i.e. direct to the sites ?

I searched aorund, and found that it does work through UCWeb proxy. The proxy cached the websites and hence seend to content to the browser faster.
At least I personaly not very comfortable with accessing the net via such poxies specially the sites which need login and can be based on cookies. Such proxies do cache cookies as well and that scares me alot. It is like giving out passwords to such proxies.

Actually no it doesn't, all page rendering is done on the device if you are using the Windows Mobile version (which is what I posted about and linked to). The JAVA version uses UCWeb proxy servers but we are not using the Java version now are we
Perhaps you need to sharpen your 'search around' skills a bit.
Does this browser have a desktop mode? I always get the mobile site and I cannot find a setting to change that.

Here are some links. There are more. I wish you were correct.
http://wapreview.mobi/?p=881
UCWEB, TeaShark and Opera Mini are all proxy based browsers. All traffic to and from the Web passes through a proxy server that parses and renders the page before compressing it for display by the thin client browser. Proxy based browsers have both advantages and disadvantages compared with direct browsers like Netfont, Opera Mobile and the embedded mobile browsers of most phones.

Bupahs,
May be you can access the link http://www.lagado.com/proxy-test and see if UCWEB access is via proxy. I will install it and try when I get to an area where I can get wireless access (at present I have only wired access).

Confirmed. It uses proxy. When you access http://www.lagado.com/proxy-test with UCWEB, it will show that the request came from IP 67.228.166.109. Now whois shows that this IP address is in China. http://whois.domaintools.com/67.228.166.109 and hosted by softlayer.com.
Tried this browser on the HTC Ozone.
Slow. Seriously...it took FOREVER to connect to anything, especially on the startup.
After trying it on 10 Sites the speed never improved.
Horrible rendering (Mobile IE does a better job and is faster!)
No thanks...uninstalled.

Nope, tahdor was 100% correct (my hats off to him) so I dumped the browser.
you can choose whether u want to go via a proxy or not
There is a simple option in ucweb (the windows mobile versions - ppc and smartphone) to choose if u want to use the proxy or not.
PPC, ucweb 7
Menu (the bottom left button) -> Preference -> General Settings -> "WAP access via Server"
Have used a few versions of ucweb 6 both on PPC and Smartphone
They too had this option.
I've trawled other thread on both Opera and iplayer, without success, hence opening this one.
Don’t ask me how, but I’ve ‘lost’ the version of Opera which was preloaded on my Vodafone UK HD2, probably by having moved the shortcut via which the browser used to open.
I have since installed Opera 10 beta, and changed the custom user agent to ‘HTC_Touch_HD_T8282’ as per other thread, which is fine, and gets me on to the iplayer site as a recognised/supported device.
BUT, when I click on the ‘play’ icon on the TV show I’ve selected, I get a message from iplayer saying they don’t allow overseas users to view the content. The same can be said for any radio content, live or catch=up.
I’m very much in the UK, and get the same issue whether I use the home or office wireless networks, or over the data connection which was auto-configured for me when I first started on my stock Vodafone UK HD2.
I can get the stream working on Skyfire, but not view it at all well, as it doesn’t open within the application which I used to use with the older version of Opera for streaming media such as that from iplayer.
I looked for an Opera support forum, but the ones I founds aren’t that enlightening. Posters on the slightly better Skyfire forums seem to think that it’s down to the server via which the request to the iplayer server is routed is non-UK, and they start talking about proxy server settings and the like, which means zilch to me I’m afraid.
I’d like to watch via my Opera browser, but I’m at a loss to what to do next. Has anyone any ideas? Do I need to tweak some Opera settings in opera:config, change some settings elsewhere on my device, or find a way of making the iplayer server think (as I indeed am) in the UK? Any help or suggestions anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated, please.
Oh, and the great looking iplayer app isn’t working, as I get consistent error code, which I’ve posted about on the thread for that app.

I remember reading some where that if you downloaded a US version of opera then it won't work. Try downloading a UK version (I could be talking rubbish though).
HD2 iplayer working in Opera 10 beta2
Hi I had a similar problem with my installed opera 9.7 on my vodafone hd2 which stopped working, & rather than factory reset the phone I installed Opera 10 beta 2 which is much better than 9.7 & i dont really miss the pinch zooming much. Anyway I got the same message that said iplayer only available to uk, and as i had recently checked the turbo option in the settings I decided to uninstal 10 beta2 & reinstal it but didnt check the turbo setting & went into the user pref & entered the ‘HTC_Touch_HD_T8282’ as per other thread, & also set the user agent to 2 instead of 1. I then saved & exited went into iplayer mobile & it works the only little niggle is the "download file - iplayer_streaming_n95_wifi.sdp" box which appears each time you want to use it. you have to click save & its only 4kb (THEN PRESS open to play the file) but it is annoying as opera 9.7 didnt bring it up. Im sure there is a setting somewhere that will do the streaming automatically but i havent found it as yet.
Re: Overseas user problem
In some situations (opera mini, new opera turbo mode, etc) opera route the traffic through their own proxy servers, so the bbc website sees their home as the connection country, which in the case of opera is norway,.
Just use myplayer instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501131
Thanks for all your suggestions
keith43 - You may be wrong, as I've searched and searched, and found nothing about a UK-specific version of the Opera 10 beta, or any other version in fact.
Samsamuel – Thanks for that. How would I route the traffic through a UK IP address, or fool the iplayer site into thinking that’s what I’m doing?
Shasarak – I did start to use myplayer, but to be honest didn’t find it the easiest to get on with, particularly when searching for programs. The iplayer app was better, but is no longer supported, apparently.
Rabidrat – Followed your tips, and now have iplayer working just fine. Brilliant! As you say, a little bit of a annoyance having to download a file for each program I want to view, but if it gets me to what I want to be doing, not a huge hassle I suppose. Am I right in thinking the site thinks I’m an N95? Isn’t that a Nokia device?

I suspect Keith was remembering something about Skyfire rather than Opera; it is possible to get Skyfire to use a UK-based proxy server which makes it compatible with iPlayer (although the result isn't that watchable - good resolution, but poor frame rate).

Well, whatever works for you.
Personally I find the video quality you get when using the Opera user-agent hack is so atrocious that I'd really rather not bother; myplayer downloads are still pretty bad quality, but at least they don't actually make my eyeballs bleed.
The latest version of myplayer (1.96) supports iPlayer categories, which helps a little with searches.

i also have the custom user agent altered to 'HTC_Touch_HD_T8282’ as per the Leo hint and tricks thread.
