Hi,
I have the following problem with X1 R2AA10, Internet Explorer:
I cannot get it to spoof websites that it is NOT ppc but desktop version. I want to get 'regular content' and not this mobile crap. I have changed all version strings I could find via Resco Registry, and still, somewhere hidden it gives out something that websites come up with that mobile version instead of regular.
Anybody knows how so change what, so that I can get real desktop versions of websites instead of mobile versions?
Thanks
PS
No, I don't want to use Opera!
However, anybody knows a way so that PIE understands JavaScript?

Is there anyway to stop sites from knowing im surfing with a PPC ? I want to visit a site but it must be detecting that im on a mobile device as its coming up different to when I surf on my computer.
I have installed PIE Plus which was listed as working on WM5 but it doesnt show in the taskbar of Pkt explorer and so doesnt give me the option of indentifying as 5.5 or 6.0 IE.
Are there any other programs that will do this ? I was surprised that Opera 8.50 doesnt do this.
Anyone ?
Use tweak2k to edit your useragent string (I'm sure it can be done in registry by yourself). I presume the WM5 version does this, the WM2003 version does I think.

changed the version from 3.02 that was set to 6.0. Didnt make any difference and the page still showed up different from on my pc.
Out of interest the page was http://wwitv.com
Not merely the version number.
various settings under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent
eg
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0; Vijay555)

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but if I try to go to news.bbc.co.uk in PocketIE I get the mobile version of the site, despite having altered the registry so to appear as IE5.5.... no other sites recognise me as a using a pda.....
Anyone know a way around this... I use news.bbc.co.uk pretty frequently...
Use the options on the bbc website to select which version of news you want to read; text, mobile or full. It should remember when you come back to it, which is probably what is currently happening now, you visited the bbc before you hacked PIE to report that it was IE and you still have the PIE cookie on your phone.
I'm looking for a mobile browser for my 8525 that acts like a full browser.... I want the ability to visit websites that are typically blocked or inaccessible because I'm on a mobile browser.
Essentially, I looking for something to trick websites into thinking I'm on a full PC and not a phone.
Does this exist?
any tips?
enjoy...here's a detailed review of most ppc browsers:

I've been running Opera for 6 months and it has outperformed everything else that I've tried. Well worth the $29 I paid. Opera has a setting that allows you to identify yourself as a desktop to websites. Works like a charm.
If you like Pocket IE then change the registrys to see it like a desktop. This is a link to the registry changes you will need to make.
http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/change_pocket_internet_explorer_6
This will let your pocket internet explorer look like a normal desktop Internet Explorer 6.0
This can help you access sites that require a certain internet explorer version.
1) Open a registry editor
2) Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent\
3) Change the default value to "Mozilla/4.0".
4) Change the "Version" value to "MSIE 6.0".
5) Change the "Platform" value to "Windows NT 5.0".
6) Soft-reset.
thnx, helpful
I'm personally a fan of the Opera Browser.
I've used it for quite a while now and am very happy with it.
I would say it is your best bet.
I was trying this past weekend to sell something on Craigslist. I remembered a while back that I could take a couple pics of my things to sell on my MDA and post it right from the phone. Now it doesn't work. I get this error saying that it can't process my request. I did a little homework and found out that the site has somehow blocked people from posting ads from their phones. How does the site know I'm posting from my phone?
from what i know by default your browser of choice has a name it uses to identify itself to a website. using schap's advance config 2.02.1.0.0 there is a feature u can check the broswer name, by default it is set to HTC_P4350 Mozilla/4.0 (for my wing) which i am sure website pick up as a mobile browser maybe set it to what the default IE on your computer shows.
maybe you can try using Opera Mobile and masking it as a desktop??
can Netfront do that? i have no idea....
With the Advance config version i mentioned above u can rename the browser agent and yes most websites dont pick up that opera mini is mobile ie myspace from pocket IE will display lame text groups for checking things... just based on the broswer where as opera mini 4 it picks up the normal myspace page if that makes sense.
alright. i'll give it a shot

Yes, netfront can do that.
steps..
1)go to its options>misc tab
2)edit/make a user agent as following..
Code:
title:IE
user-agent:Mozilla/4.08 (compatible; Windows NT/5.1) 6.0
appName:MSIE
appVersion:6.0
appCodeName:Mozilla
language/platform: en / Windows NT 5.1
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?

Is standard with my Touch HD
I'll just answer my own question here, thanks for suggesting it was already there, I found iexplore in the \Windows root directory.

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.
