Dear all,
I've search the forum for an answer but failed so far...
I have Opera set as my default browser. It seems to work for everything (links from google maps search etc...), except for the web links which are in my contacts. They always open in IE...
I've tried to have a go at looking into changing the registry, but my knowledge is quite limited in that field...
I wonder if anyone would be willing to help, give me some direction...
Many thanks in advance...

Before I start, yes I know to try searching the forums first and if thats fails search the web...I have...hence me turning to posting this
The problem is, I am looking for a smaller, faster replacement for Pocket IE. One program in particular, but I cant remember its name (hence searching for it being a problem :wink: )
Name was something like vx????? or xP????? - anyone help?
Thanks
don't know which program you're try to recall. but opera 8.6 works much better than PIE.
You were looking for ftxPbrowser. But it's not optimised for WM5 yet.
ftxPBrowser
Mobile IE sucks. ftxPBrowser works pretty well for Windows Mobile 5 on my MDA Pro. The AOL classic e-mail URL works to some degree--I can get all of my text e-mails, but I cannot get anything with a "picture"--in other words, HTML. Handango sells a program to directly connect to AOL e-mail--but it also doesn't work properly--it displays HTML messages as HTML code! And there is no reply button or back button!!
Opera works well to display Web pages, but will not access AOL e-mail at all.
So: what else is there? Surely there's got to be something better!!

Strange you've found ftxPBrowser usable under WM5 (read my related article on its problems under WM5.)
As far as your (and the others') other questions are concerned, read my browsing-related articles at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?cat=61 - they answer ALL your questions.
Opera Mini?
I checked your link--it's your blog. I skimmed through it and I don't see how it answers my questions. Why would Opera Mini solve the problems, if Opera [regular] would not? Have you tested Opera Mini with AOL?
Hi there!
I've been using AvantGo to sync websites and read then offline. Well that's OK, and works pretty good, but it only allows me to sync 2 MB data.
I would like to sync down the whole XDA Developers forum, and other site too, to my Storage Card.
Anyone knows any alternative offline web browser like AvantGo, to do this? That'll be very useful.
Thanks
I use iliumsoft newsbreak, a much better option. www.iliumsoft.com
Downloaded, and installed, but cannot use it, because it says:
System Error C00CE509 occured
Could you please tell me how can I add http://forum.xda-developers.com to the channels list?
I've tried these two browsers but i've some problems with some web pages like mail webpage of my e-mail provider Libero Italy or the itinerary of Viamichelin web page. Pages go ahead but don't charge everything well,making usage impossible.
Thia happens also using Operamini as java applet.
I'm using the new official gps enabled Rom but this happened also with the former Rom.
My old Samsung phone managed java Operamini applet to show everything.
Does somebody know this issue and has a solution?
The good thing about the trinity is to behave like a PC along the street, but without this kind of pages many advantages become lost.
Thaks for replies

I would like to use Excel Mobile in my Diamond to retrieve data found on web pages - this is something I can do easily on my desktop pc, but not on Excel Mobile. Is there a workaround - ie can I save a web page as an html file that can be then read by ExcMob? Or maybe even a different spreadsheet that allows web access/data retrieval?
If neither, is this something that would interest anyone on this forum to take a look at?
Thanks

Not sure if this is what you want but its much better than excel mobile (not freeware)....

Thanks Omareo for the suggestion. It looks good but the site has no information on the specific feature I am looking for. Have you used it? If so, can you retrieve web data (from Yahoo for instance) on to the spreadsheet via a query?
Im really not sure about that, but you can download a trial

Seems like a simple thing, but I can't find a good solution.
I have some gdocs spreadsheets that I want to download (as xls or ods) and then edit via thinkfree. Yes I know you can do gdocs spreadsheets online via browser on my sgt. However, the gdocs spreadsheet mobile is not to my liking.
There are several Market apps that do downloading or synching of gdocs to/from android. A couple I have tried are 'my docs' and 'gdocs' but these don't support spreadsheets or I couldnt figure out how to make them do spreadsheets; they worked ok for text docs.
The online spreadsheat, on a desktop, does have a good save as feature. However, google is too smart and won't let me use the desktop experience from my sgt, even when I ask (nicely).
And, I prefer a low or no cost solution. I do see that Documents To Go suggests that you can do this; that isn't low/no cost.
Any other options?
Oh I tried think free online, too. Despite having some sort of 'login with google account' feature; I didnt see how it provides links or other techniques for getting at my gdocs. Maybe I am doing it wrong. Oh and I'd like to avoid signing up for another online service too. Besides I do shared authoring of some gdocs; no way could I get others to switch to a new online docs service.
___________
Found a solution. Reading closely the 'not suppurted browser' page, you can add an override flag (to the submitted url) that instructs the full google docs web experience to skip th browser check. By doing this, I can get the docs browser page of google docs that has a control that allows me to download my spreadsheets.
The url is like:
https://docs.google.com/DocAction?browserok=true#home
You need to add an app like 'Download all Files' so that the stock browser will save the file.
Hope this helps someone else!
use full desktop mode in your browser,
downlaod FIREFOX, and use it to download /open with think free
firefox is the only android broswer that lets me properly download/OPEN WITH by clicking on a link and I can select which app.
;-)
I think office suite pro will perfectly fit your need. After 30days of trial you can remove and re_install the app. Have Fun!
