Fails on HTC Touch HD with Opera
On my HD, any menu item in Pocket Wikipedia launches the link in Opera, which is unable to process any further clicked links.
It seems PW launches the default browser, where it should really stick to embedding an IE control. Any PW links should trigger a decompression of the topic from the huge file, which doesn't happen with Opera.
Does anyone know of a workaround?

Same problem here. It starts Opera Mobile instead of IE.
I tried making Opera Mobile the NON-default browser (by unchecking the "set default browser" box in the setting menu). PW was able to launch IE but IE just got stuck with the screen helplessly blinking. No Wiki text! No messages whatsoever! Had to shut down IE manually.
Wonder if Anyone could get PW working.

There is big problems with special chars like é, à, î, etc...

I shifted to WikiPock, far better despite a little cost.. Works like a charm

Opera 9.5 Build 1957 WWE & Fr

Hi there,
I've extracted this build from Omnia rom posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2623503
Cab updated
if you have "the specified module could not be found" at startup, re-download cab here, those now include ImmVibe.dll.
Install into main memory:

Enjoy ;o)
----------------- Install ---------------------------------------------------------------------
if you have previous opera, be sure to uninstall it, and delete every file and Reg as this build changed a lot compare to usual update, the default Opera9 folder is now expected to be in Application Data, where previous use to be in windows, the skin and other file changed also, and Opera seem to be very sensitive...it didn't worked for me at first try... so Clean your previous opera before install... ;o)
----------------- User Agent Modif -----------------------------------------------------------
Well this build have some default value coded to Samsung i900, but chance, we can override them via register:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\UA]
"UAMode"=dword:00000001 0: Mobile 1 : Desktop (control by the setting/advanced in opera)
"User Agent"="SAMSUNG-SGH-i900/1.0 Opera 9.5" ---> this is the user agent when identify as mobile
"UAD"="SAMSUNG-SGH-i900/1.0 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)" ---> this is the user agent when identify as DESKTOP
When set to identify as Desktop, if Opera don't find "UAD" key, it will send "SAMSUNG-SGH-i900/1.0 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)" as user agent so to change this, create the UAD key and set it to whatever string you want.
now, in OPERA, go to setting/advanced, and choice identify as desktop.
paste this into url (whitout http
javascript:alert(navigator.userAgent)
You should see the string value of the "UAD" key
here the .reg to identify as IE7 browser....
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\UA]
"UAD"="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0b; Windows NT 6.0)"
"User Agent"="HTC/1.0 Opera 9.5"

Thanks! Testing now....

not working for me, just flash over to new rom, so everything was clean, goes from the startup scrren it then goes to "the specified module could not be found"
Error message title is OperaL if that helps at all.

missing module...
It's seem like Opera use Vibetonz (vibration feedback)... can you try with ImmVibe.dll into you windows folder:

forgot to compress thee .dll
here ImmVibe.dll
it's linked to other vibe's dll, not sure we need them all, so try with ImmVibe.dll only

Loads now, and works on my touch! thanks. More opiton's in the settings menu, flash works, cool skin. Fast scrolling. Still playing with it. Are you going to update the cab's?

its working on my tytn too like the zooming option and seems to be faster...Well, my tytn is lagging less than it did with 1938 build...but the touch naviation seems to be less smooth..any words on that?

links dead?

thanks, it seems like this version has some more advance features and everything so this is a big thank you for me, i am testing flash on it now
Flash works with this build has well, works good, and no need for that nullkb, you are able to scroll just fine on youtube without anything poping up.

Wow if you press and hold on the middle of the right side. A zooming option pops up like in the google andriod browser.

Ok I downloaded this version and it seems to be way faster taht the 1938 build, however I have 2 problems.
1. This browser still does nto recognize the HTC XT9 keyboard
2. I cannot stream videos...youtube doesnt work. when i click to watch a video the streaming media player opens on my touch but i get an error stating "failed to find network".

Thanks! I'll give it a try now

For your XT9 keyboard, i have no idear... i tried to keep the install as close as possible to the omnia setup. You may look at an older build which worked fine, check the opera.ini file, there is probably some key there you have to copy them into your current opera.ini file and file to the proper folder.
About streaming media player, it's not related to opera i think, i got same trouble, but it's a bug or something in streaming media player, if you use activesync to connect to the internet, it doesn't work, try when you are connected over wifi, it should be fine...
good luck

youtube isnt working..
no video shows up

the keyboard is not a big deal cause it will get ironed out in the future..as for using wifi lol i dont have that feature

youtube works perfect for me, and better then 1938 ever did.

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 ..

Noobie question

Hi All
Firstly wanted to introduce myself so Hi!
Secondly I have searched the Wiki area and get no matches each time, so sorry if it's been asked.
My HD2 will connect to i-player etc and link to core player. However I only get sound and no image or playback . Do I need to install a plug-in. I already have v3.5 installed.
Also when I am texting and I start a new sentence the first word I type and hit space does not automatically add a capital letter to the forst letter. This is quite annoying even if it is minor.
Cheers for all the help
Lenod

Hello, I got iplayer to work without coreplayer... this is what I did (I'm not sure if flash player is needed, but I installed it anyway):
Installed Opera Mobile 10
Installed Flash Player for Windows Mobile
Ran Opera Mobile 10, typed "opera:config" in the address bar.
Found the setting User Prefs->Custom User-Agent and typed in "HTC_Touch_HD_T8282".
Pressed save and restarted opera.
Connected to internet with WiFi
Opened "www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer".
Selected something
Clicked "save" and then "open".
It plays in Windows Media Player.
I automatically get auto-capitalisation, I'm using XT9 mode with word completion and spell correction. Maybe that will help, otherwise I think there'll be a registry setting to change it, but that's more hassle.

Found the setting User Prefs->Custom User-Agent and typed in "HTC_Touch_HD_T8282".

thats the bit that makes iplayer work. I use it on 9.7 with that user agent, no probs.

Thanks Guys! Much appreciated

Facebook Mobile

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)

Hi,
What did you change the user string agent to?
Thanks.

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.

Mine is actually set to make my phone look like it's running IE8 on windows 7. Works for me.

Aye, +1 for touch.facebook.com
Far, far better than the standard app. Just like the Android version I'm used to.
