Hi!
I am on Three UK network and can no longer access my Planet3/My3 mobile page on my HD so that I can check my usage and balance. It keeps directing me to the website version instead of the mobile wap version.
I understand some users have had succes by changing the user agent to tytan or some other phone in the opera:config settings but it is not working for me.
Really frustrating as I am trying out what I read on other forums.
What is the homepage url and what must I do in settings please to access it? Is it http://mobile.three.co.uk?
Thanks!
it would be nice to know if there is afix for this
try this, i use this setting in h.k. 3 network, may be not work in u.k.
KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Internet Explorer\User Agent\CustomBase
change HTC_Touch_HD T8282 Mozilla/4.0 to SAMSUNG-SGH-F488 Mozilla/4.0
Yes it does work dannyctl thank you but it displays very small so maybe it is meant for phones with smaller display res. Tytn 2 is on three network and that has larger display. What is the user agent for tytn?
sorry, i'm not sure for that, maybe it's fit the Samsung decice!! you better search your local PDA forum for a better setting, i think...

Sorry if this question has been answered elsewhere. I searched for a while and couldn't find it.
I don't know if this matters, but I'm using Open Touch 4.0 biggie (it's awesome!). Anyway, I'm trying to figure out how to make IE Mobile go to the regular versions of Web sites rather than trying the mobile versions by default. for example, I'm trying to listen to the audio stream at a local sports talk radio station (not sure if I can post links, but the domain is 670thescoredotcom), and by default IE puts "mobile" instead of "www", which doesn't exist. I can't figure out how to point the browser at the regular site. It's probably a simple fix or toggle that I'm missing. Any help would be appreciated.
i sugest looking for another browser like opera mobile or something
PIE is maybe the worst browser on wm
I'm not sure it is the browser doing that
some websites actually have code that checks what browser you are using, and then redirects you to the appropriate pages.....they also check for things like javascript, flash, etc.
if it doesn't know what type of browser you have or what it supports, you usually get sent to the regular site....
but i think internet explorer mobile identifies itself as such, so then the website actually redirects you
i may be wrong but i believe that is how browsing is handled by the webservers for different client types
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 ..

I have an unlocked Rogers Magic running on AT&T. I have not rooted the phone, thus I am running the default software/firmware.
The phone and default image work great, with one exception. According to tools like useragent.org, my browser UAString is coded to "en-ca" (vs. what I would like it to be: "en-us"). This causes some sites to redirect to Canadian content (e.g. snapfish.com redirects to snapfish.ca), and it is driving me nuts.
I'm aware of the "about:debug" trick for faking other (but, not the above referenced portion of the string) aspects the reported User Agent. Further, I'm aware that I could download an alternate browser like Steel.
The default image and browser would be just fine for me if I could simply change what amounts to 2 characters in the User Agent string. Any ideas on the least invasive (i.e. vs rooting, new images.. etc. etc.) way of doing this? THX!
Have you tried going to settings - locale & text - Select locale and changing the language to English (United States)?

sorry my reply won't help since my knowledge of android is still infantile. my rogers unit (to run an att usa) is due tomorow and hacking won't begin until surfing the device stock for a few days before "rooting" and rom swaps.
question: how branded is your interface experience? from startup screen and through the dailer, is rogers prominent?

Yes... I looked at 'locale & text' settings ... My options are "English" or "French".... no option for "English (United States)"

Branding is minimal ... Based on research, I understand that to get rid of the splash on boot, you will need to root etc etc... For me, it's nbd because it is very rare that I turn the phone completely off and on again ... There are a few Rogers 'apps' (really simple URL links) that you can't remove (again w/o rooting etc etc), but I just don't include them on my desktop
Any ideas on my User Agent issue?
The disadvantages of the original Rogers ROM are adding-up:
1) Canadian user Agent
2) No Voice Search (Ugh! this one of the things I flet made a Keyboard-less phone more tolerable)
3) No ability to see/edit Custom words for type-ahead (usually found under Menu - Settings - Locale & text - User dictionary)
Assuming Rogers ever fixes any of these and send in over the air updates... will I get those using and unlocked phone on AT&T?
Any love out there on my questions? THX!
Hi everyone,
I like to watch "Swisscom Mobile TV" (a swiss service) wich is only accessable for branded phones (like the htc magic).The nexus one isn't branded phone.
So i read on a forum that i have to change my default_user_agent in the "com.android.browser_preferences.xml" to the HTC magic one to make it work. But it doesn't work.
And finally, i read that i have to modify the browsersettings.java to make the change effective (http://github.com/Wysie/android_pac.../src/com/android/browser/BrowserSettings.java)
And i really don't know how to do this, if someone can help me?
And sorry for my bad english
Enter the URL "about:debug" into the browser, confirm the address, nothing happens. now go into the browser preferences, scroll waaaay down. some debug settings showed up. one allows you to change the user agent
ps: search function

I have a nexus one and i'd like to set my user agent to "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 1.6; de-ch; HTC Magic Build/DRC92) AppleWebKit/528.5+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.2 Mobile Safari/525.20.1" instead of being recognize as a nexus one user
Hello All,
Don't think this has come up before so sorry if it has. I'm hoping someone might have the original user agent as it is shown on a Telstra Diamond2 with factory ROM. Very annoying when things like Foxtel mobile and such fail because they expect only their phones to be used! I don't really want to access Foxtel but there are a few things every now and then that need the same user agent to access. If you have a factory Telstra ROM but don't know the user agent you can find out by visiting the whatsmyuseragent web site.
Thanks for any assistance.
