Browsing certain website s with Internet Explorer 6.0

So I have the tweaks2k2 and I changed the browser to IE 6.0 so that websites will think I am browsing with IE 6. This has worked great with my banking sites that will not allow PIE.
I have a certain website I need to access and can not. Either with IE 6 glitch or with PIE. Is there anything I can do, or any program that I can use to access the website in question?
The website is www.ringcentral.com which is where I receive my faxes, so it would be great to access my faxes on the go. FISH

Today I have installed the final purchase version of Netfront 3.3 browser. I clicked on the link you mentioned and was able to fully open it. However going further required a log-in. Since I am not a registered user could not move further.
Why don't you give Netfront 3.3 a try. There is a free trial version available.
Hope this helpes
Regards

I tried the site in Opera (set as handheld and set as desktop computer, same as the IE6 trick) and in PIE, all work.

NetFront 3.3 for WM5.0 Viewed as IE 6.0
I have tweaks2tweaks set to make NetFront 3.3 show us as IE 6.0 and it is not working. When I go to Yahoo.com it is asking me to move to a higher browser namely IE6.0.
Can anybody please help with this - it is driving me batty!!!
THANKS...

In order to allow netfront 3.3 to behave as a real IE 6 you can write your own user-agent as follows:
1: Go to menu / tools / browser settings and the misc tab.
2: The user agent drop down list will be showing "Netfront v3.3 Standard"
3: From the drop down list select the --- and press edit
4: Under Title enter any name say Real PC
5: In the user agent field very carefully write the following keeping very special care of spaces and colons:
Mozilla/4.0 (Compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0/5.0) Opera 8.60
6: In appName write Internet Explorer
7: In appVersion write 6.0
8: in appCodeName write Mozilla
9: in Language / platform write en and pc respectively and press the ok soft key
Now make sure by navigating to tools / browser settings / misc tab that the user agent you have just written is selected in the drop down list.
You should now be able to access almost any website that the real IE can do. I have had quite a bit of success with this user agent and hope this helps you as well.

I have always used MultieIE and Opera Browser,
Multie IE takes over the pointless included PIE browser and adds tabs etc,
Opera a seperate program, although a little Large in Size its fine when installed to mem card.
effectively and this is active for my Nationwide Tinternet Banking, if a site cant be accessed by Multi then Opera will get it,
At work so cant test it on Multi at the moment, but i will update this post when i get chance,
**edit**
OK Using MultiIE I have been able to get to the homepage without problem but also i have no login details so cant really test it fully

Well, it doesn't need to be THAT complicated. Please read the NetFront 3.3 section in my article "TUTORIAL: Change the User Agent your Pocket PC browser uses to make Web servers think you’re a fully-fledged desktop browser!" at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=796&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 . It's full of screenshots.

MultiIE 4.0 is pretty OK, albeit, now, I'd recommend PIEPlus over it.

where can i get Multi IE or PIE plus ?

Cingular Video (CV) on a Wizard.

I did a search on this forum and found some information, but it wasn't enough (mainly I didn't feel like weeding through every thread that had the word "video" in it, just in case)... I did some searching on other sites, and I believe I have finally found a solution everyone can utilize! You don't have to download some fancy app (save for RealPlayer, but I'll get to that in a moment).
Step 1:
Make sure you have your MEdia Net proxy activated, you can only access CV through the proxy. If you need directions, this link should suffice.
Step 2:
CV doesn't work because when you visit http://cingularvideo.cingular.com, your Browser's UserAgent string tells Cingular (AT&T ?) that you are not using one of their 3 or 4 supported phones. Lets fix that...
Open your favorite registry editor (I like using Total Commander's but whatever) and lets navigate. Today you will find out what the UserAgent string of the 8525 (a 3G supported phone) looks like.
For WM5:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent]
(Default)="HTC-8500/1.2 Mozilla/4.0"
For WM6:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Internet Explorer\User Agent]
"CustomBase"="HTC-8500/1.2 Mozilla/4.0"
When you are done with this, shove your stylus into that hole under the IR port, you know what to do.
Step 3:
CV uses silly .ram files which are hotlinks to RTSP streaming media, and as far as I know only RealOne Player can be used to read these .ram files (I tried looking at the source, copy/pasting the RTSP URL into WM's Streaming Media player, it didn't fly) SO you now need RealOne Player. If you travel to http://www.real.com/player/mobile and go through all the ropes to find the PPC version, you find out the exe they give you doesn't work with the newest version of ActiveSync. So, here's a CAB file for you to enjoy.
Step 4:
After you install that and restart your phone, head to http://cingularvideo.cingular.com and see what happens. This site is pretty much the same layout as http://device.home/ so you might be alright, but it really takes less than 5 mins to figure out how to navigate the thing.
It should be working now...if not, are you SURE you changed the UserAgent strings like mentioned above? WM5 and WM6 use different reg entries, so you should too
Please tell me I wasn't the only one wondering how to do this without installing a cab file that changed these settings for me. You honestly prefer to do that than learn how to do it yourself, in this "knowledge is power" society? Besides, I prefer a bookmark to a cab file!

How much does Cingular charge?
Do they charge to use this service?

As far as I can tell, they don't charge you for the service... but if you don't have an unlimited MEdia Net plan, you're kicking your own ass here. The FAQ suggests access comes with a MEdia Net package, but obviously you can go there without having one, the KBs will sure cost you.

Worked for me after I changed the network type in Real Player. While it was on GPRS, I kept getting an "Incorrect or malformed protocol error"
Launch Real Player and go to options-preferences-network and change type to 802.11b

yeah sorry, I forgot to mention that. You have to change the network preferences to 802.11b. Thanks thedscman
Today I'm trying and everything is giving me a whack "Error Clip Is Not Playable" message. I think ****ing Cingular is on to me, ****.

Network attached storage drives......

Hello all. I did ask this question in the Hermes section but no answers slo I thought I would as in here as it is a networking type problem.....
I have a Maxtor Shared Storage II drive on the wireless network. All the XP PCs can see and access the device no problems.
The Hermes is running official WM6. When I use Resco Explorer to try to map a network drive, it isn't there, but any XP computer that is switched on at the time, is in the list in Resco.
If the I check the properties on the NAS's folders on a XP machine then its reported as a NT server 4.9 drive??
The drive has the feature of a media server on the menu system which as yet I havnt had time to play with so far.
Any help greatfuly appreciated
Cheers
Chris.

not sure about yours but the tests i read about those maxtor nas mybooks require some special software on the pc to access them
if that is the case with yours and they dont have an ppc version
you are out of luck

Yes I do agree there is maxtors software on the PC to access various functions, but before I installed the software I could see the public folders that were already installed on the NAS...!
Chris

It's nothing to do with them being NAS Storage. As far as the network is concerned they are just windows network shares. I'm having the same problem - I can't access shares over my wifi network on my Hermes.
I have a file/web/ssh server and I can easily access it using a browser or with PocketPuTTY and I can ping it with vxutil but I can't connect to the shares even though I can ping the hosts and see the networked devices in Resco and PocketLAN. Total Commander doesn't work either!
I'm sure it's something to do with routes/subnets and have tried setting the proxy options in "settings">"connections">"connections">"advanced">"select networks" and also changing the options for "My network card connects to" in Network Adaptors.
I want to use a "cooked" rom but this seems to be the source of the problem - I've flashed another rom on my Hermes and it connected fine. I'm having the same problem with my HTC Universal and I also had a problem with my Wizard but I managed to fix it by modifying the "connections" (see above!).

I've got the same problem with my NAS (Maxtor Shared Storage II).
BTW, I don't think the Maxtor Connect Manager utility is required , I've connected to the NAS from XP and OS X without the utility running.
My 8525 (WM 6) cannot see the NAS in network neighborhood , even though the IPs are pingable.
The 8525 cannot see the share on my MacBook Pro either.
I have no problem with a share on my Win XP SP2 computer ... it even streams media (divx, MP3 , windows media) to my 8525. Mapped with Resco Pocket Explorer with no problem.
I think the MAC and the MSS II (www.openmss.org) are linux/Samba network based and WM cannot connect. If any linux guru can verify and provide assistance, it would greatly be appreciated.
Wow ! Streaming media from a NAS on the 8525 ... a dream so far ......

I don't think this is a linux problem - the shares I am accessing are on a linux samba server. I can access the shares using different rom versions on my hermes and my universal (just not using the rom I really want to use!). My wizard (WM6) connects to the shares fine!

Thanks h0me5k1n !
Can you share the method or application and version your using to make the share with Samba ?
Is the NAS/Share visible in network neighborhood or is the connect string manually entered ?

When I have used resco to attempt the connection I can see the host PCs in the network neighborhood but cannot see the shares on each host PC (neither windows or linux).
I have always connected using the netbios name - using the ip address has never worked as far as I can remember. I have always used Total Commmander (I only tried other apps because Total Commander wasn't working) and I've always used the latest version.
I've just switched my Hermes to another rom.... K's rom V1.21... and I can browse my network shares again (windows and linux) and the rom is the only difference. It's a nice rom too so I'm gonna leave it for now.
An example of my working setup: I have a computer called "mediacentre" with the IP of 192.168.0.234. I can connect over wifi using Total Commander with the addresses of "\\mediacentre" and "mediacentre" but neither "\\192.168.0.234" nor "192.168.0.234" work!! Exactly the same thing with another rom did not work!!
Maybe this is something to do with the network configuration of the base rom from which the cooked rom is built?
It's definitely not a linux/windows/maxtor problem!

I've just installed Total Commander 2.0 (http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm ) a few days ago and haven't gotten around to using it . It's not a very intuitive app when it comes to making network connections. I also noticed that TC has plugins for other files systems (http://www.ghisler.com/plugins.htm#filesys).
Did you have to use one of the other plugins or any special protocols on the NAS (i.e. VPN , FTP, etc.) ? - Sorry for the multiple questions in detail , but I'm a linux newbie \ : ) .
If I get the figured out, I'll try to publish a detailed "how-to" since I seen the same question w/o solution on other forums.
Thanks-In-Advance

I find TC very easy to use - especially the virtual 2 window mode!!
To connect I just open the \\Plugins folder, choose LAN and can connect with "_Quick open" or by setting up a "<new server>" with the addresses of "\\mediacentre" or "mediacentre" (as per my example below).
I have not had to use any other plugins from the TC site and my NAS is basically a ubuntu (debian) system with a number of samba shares (which are basically the same as shared folders on windows). The shares on my server are viewable by all on my local network so no password is needed to access them although they are "read only". I have a WinXP desktop too with shared folders and I connect to this in exactly the same way.

No joy ......
Just went thru several attempts using Total Commander to connect to the MSS II and still no connection. Just did a search on the forum for "SAMBA" and it seems there are other folks out there in the same boat.
Some possible factors I can this of are :
- security on the NAS Share
- different flavors on linux used on the shares
- the application on WM used to connect (resco, File Explorer, TC, etc)
- some obscure setting on the Router/Hub /Switch
- version of WM (2003, 5, 6 , )
BTW - after installing TC I lost the connection to my Win XP share which used to work via Resco. (arghhhh!) .
Why is this such black magic that only functions under a full moon?
My head is spinning now !
This link looks hopeful :
http://cri.ch/linux/docs/sk0014.html
More trial and error for now ....
Anybody else care to weigh-in with some advice ?

Kaiser + NAS (Linux + Samba) + L26 Diamond V4 = works!
Solution for those using Kaiser (TyTN II):
I just flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395555 (Kaiser Diamond V4), and my Synology DS-207+ (Linux + samba shares) is visible and accessible from every software (Total Commander, Resco, File Explorer).
Previously I used to flash Dutty's ROMs and original ones - they do not work with samba. I wrote to Dutty - hope he'll find how to fix (I love his ROMs).
Good luck! Now I'm able to watch videos on Kaiser from my NAS via WLAN, I'm happy ;-)

Interesting... As far as I can tell, Total Commander, Resco Explorer, File Explor, and the Network Plugin all call the same password manger in WM6 and that manager does not send the passwords in a form that SAMBA understands.
In theory changing the key at HKLM\Comm\SecurityProviders\NTLM\LmCompatibilityLevel to 2 from 3 should do what I need, and enable the Universal to communicate with my SAMBA server. That it doesn't suggest to me that there is a problem with the LM security provider.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
OK. The correct answer is here:
Change HKLM\Comm\SecurityProviders\NTLM\LmCompatibilityLevel to 1 from 3, not to 2 (ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa922895.aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa925018.aspx) as "You can also set the LmCompatibilityLevelServer value to 2 or to 3. Both of these specify that the server will only use NTLM v2. Authentication will fail if the client is not capable of NTLM v2 protocol. For more information, see Authentication Services Registry Settings".
And check to make sure HKLM\Comm\Redir\SmbSignatureMode is set to 0 (not recommended 'cos it may cause problems with windows servers), 1 or 2, but not 3 (ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa921092.aspx).
And you can try to set HKLM\Comm\Redir\AllowedAuthMethods to 3 to see if it makes any difference. To me, 2 works fine.
No need to modify samba configurations if you are running a recent version of samba (3.0.28 right now). Anyway, you can always try to add "use spnego = no" (maybe "client use spnego = no" or "spnego = no" as stated and/or quoted in other posts/web pages, I'm not sure of it.) to see if it makes any difference in your situation/samba version.

If you have admin privledges on the windows/linux machine, you can install orb on it. I've done that to my xp machine at home and now from anywhere on my ppc I can access anything I want from my home machine... it also checks to see what the files are at home and can sort them into categories like music, documents, videos, etc.
I'm not sure if it will work with orb installed on a pc to look over the network to a NAS, but mine looks through usb to an attached drive.
Worth a shot and a very simple solution to the problem.

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:
http://rapidshare.com/files/144273883/OBX-Opera_9.5.Build1957.WWE.cab.zip.html
Hardcoded intro Storage card:

http://rapidshare.com/files/144274261/OBX-Opera_9.5.Build1957.UC.SD.FR.cab.zip.html
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.

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.

Text Reflow in Internet Explorer Mobile

I have a UK version of the HD2
Text reflow used to work alright in internet explorer as long as I was on the original factory installed ROM (1.43).
Ever I have upgraded to the ROM version 1.48 as available on the HTC UK website the text reflow inside internet explorer has stopped working.
I cannot even revert back to the original 1.43 ROM as a link to this is nowhere available.
Can anyone help. And anyone who upgraded to the UK 1.48 ROM also experiencing a similar problem.
Thanks in advance for all your help

There are things that IE can do that Opera can't, and obviously vice-versa.
I'd be interested in text-reflow in IE, but to be honest, I don't remember it ever working.

I alternate Opera and Skyfire for different needs, never saw a need for IE. Microsoft should have just dropped it if they couldn't make it better, because people unfamiliar to WM and the existence of browser choice dismiss WM entirely because of PIE.

Well there's the obvious "Opera doesn't run flash" issue, and there's a thread running at the minute with people asking why you can't use NTLM authentication in Opera (Windows Domain Authentication).
They're the first 2 things that sping to mind.
IE is fine, but each browser has their strengths and weaknesses. Anyway, this thread isn't a discussion about who says which browser is best, so I won't go any further into that.
Each to their own. I agree with the OP and want text-reflow in IE.

Yes, which is exactly why the OP has asked if anyone knows if this can in some way be enabled. If you want it in Skyfire, I'd suggest getting in touch with their support, or opening a new thread asking if anyone here has experience in somehow enabling it. I'm not saying it's possible, but I don't know that it isn't.

Thanks to everyone for posting here.
However I can confirm that Text Reflow was working perfectly with the original factory installed 1.43 ROM.
My problem is that I cannot find the original ROM now as only the new version 1.48 is now available on HTC's UK site.
As to why I want to use PIE over Opera is that some of the sites I visit more frequently are more compatible with PIE such as if you would like to play video clips on the BBC news site and specially my banking site which Opera can just not open.
Given the shortcomings of PIE such as no tabbed browsing and no pinch to zoom I still prefer PIE over Opera.

I have finally been able to get hold of the original ROM from 4shared.com
This is the RUU_LEO_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1****_ship.exe.
After installing this ROM text reflow is back again.
I am now going to compare the registry entries for Internet Explorer between the two ROMs. Will keep everybody infromed when I am done.
Thanks

Good plan - I look forward to hearing more, but I suspect that it may be down to the exe, rather than settings.
Good luck

As in my previous posts, "Text Reflow" worked okay with the original 1.43 ROM on my HTC HD2. However for subsequent newer ROMs like 1.48 and 1.66, text reflow did not work.
Here is a registery change which has enabled text reflow to work once again, in both 1.48 as well as 1.66 ROMs
Using a registry editor go to :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Main \
Add a DWORD entry "Enable Mobile Optimized View" with a DWORD = 1
Add a DWORD entry "Mobile Optimized View Minimum Height" with a DWORD = 50
With these changes internet explorer mobile is working with text reflow enabled on my 1.66 ROM. So anyone out there wanting to upgrade to the higher ROM's but simply does not want to loose the text reflow ability within internet explorer mobile, here is a solution.

Does not work on my Touch Pro2 running wm6.5 / HTC Sense 2.5.2012. Any other ways to enable text wrapping regardless of level of zooming in pocket IE?
