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?
After flicking around on google, i have found a personally tested method of getting msn messenger working in WM5.
It fully supports the rotation that occurs when you open the keyboard on the TyTN.
http://node13.org/pda/
Go here (my own site), and do the following:
1. Connect your WM5 device to your pc.
2. Run msn22.exe (Will installed the PPC2002 version of MSN Messenger)
3. Run msn23.exe (Will instal the PPC2003SE version with the latest updates)
4. Reset your device
Voila, you now have a nice working copy of MSN Messenger.
Enjoy!
Just out of curiosity:
What's the difference between "MSN Messenger on Pocket PC" and "Pocket Messenger"?
Thanks for that!

For some reasons, every time I tried to run your msn23 from my computer (connected to the device of course), it showed the InstallShield 1645: and it stopped there. I have also tried msn22 and the result is the same. BTW, I have done the unlock CID already if it would matter at all.
Any suggestions?

Yes, I don't know why Microsoft have it so obscurely referenced, not easy to track it down. By the way also works well for me too.

Are you guys referring to the Live.Com Beta for Mobile download? Or am I missing the point totally?
Thanks!

Well now that's a tricky question... welllll ok yes we are, at least I am. The one that's like the old MSN for mobile but not quite if you know what I mean!! And the one that shows as Live.com on this link http://ideas.live.com/, In case there's confusion "MSN Messenger is now Windows Live Messenger" hence the use of the name Live.com.
Mike
you try this agilemessenger
in my tytn it works very well:
- he automatically rotates with the opening of the keyboard
- it notices all the emoticons
- it works with msn, icq, yaooh etc. accounts
- allows to make a photo with my TYTN and to send it
- and it also has the push to talk!!!
It's phenomenalanything
...else other than microsoft!!!
Enjoy

Well now 5n0rk, I think I might just do that. Heard of it before but never thought it would inspire me, but from what you say it might be interesting
Mike
him, agile messenger is fabulous! to try for believing!
Is Agile Messenger really free? On their web site they only have 7 day trial versions after which you pay and through the nose...

Try not to get too hooked unless you want to be spending up big.
Regards
Free on WM5 "for the moment"
As it is slightly buggey or at least was, seems much more stable these days.
Yes is Free!!!
Where is it, it says that it's not available yet, the messenger.
Only windows live homepage.
Thank you.

This might be a simply one all being well, but if someone mails me and attachs a JPG file I try and view it but it won't let me, do I need a utility to be able to do this?

It should automatically open the pictures and videos application - at least it does on mine.
Perhaps the file association has been removed - think an app like resco explorer or total commander can restore it.

..thanks matt. I'm using Blackberry Connect so I was wondering if that was causing the problem, but I'll take a look at those apps you've mentioned.

I seem to be able to view the Microsoft attachements, it just doesnt seem to like jpgs. I'm still finding my feet with the device though to be honest, the Blackberry Connect software seems simple enough.
...one problem that is annoying is that I cant surf the Web using Internet Explorer. Our providor says its because we're on a Blackberry Tariff and 02 don't give you web access with that. If I try and go to a site on the device it fails to connect.
Does anyone here know where to get a MMS cab from the Sprint Touch Diamond, I want to try and install it on my Mogul. Being from sprint and both are windows mobile, I think it might work.
i saw it somewhere but heard it was a real memory hog and people barely got it to work if it even loaded. Best choice right now is the SomeGuy SMMS app for picture mail.
nuerom over at ppcgeeks had one but Verisign served him with papers telling him it violated DCMA and it has pretty much disappeared. I had it and found that it didn't work at all on my titan. Finding a 3rd party solution is a much better idea i think man.

I have and it works fine. You just need to set up a Picture Mail account on the Sprint web site before you try to run it.
i get G66: There was an error trying to register your phone
and i do have a picture mail account created already

I installed this to the storage card on my Mogul and it works as advertised --
I've heard some folks were having errors when trying to use the new app while attached to a PC via activesync -- I haven't tried that but have had no issues sending or receiving picture mail with the new app over the Sprint network.
I like the new app and will use it along with the free version of sMMS... I don't use that much picture mail, but this is a nice option to have.
Hi all,
I have a little problem with email links in a email on my HTC HD2. When i click on the link it will open a screen to check the emailadress. And it will put the whole link there and won't recognize the mailto and subject.
What can this be, on my pc the link works correctly and on a iphone or older HTC it works.
thanks for any reply.
eelos.
ps. have tested HTML and plain text, same results
anyone? please help
You're doing the link wrong. Check this page...
http://www.johnmolyneux.co.uk/temp/emailtest.html
Do a "view source" to see the tag.
hi john,
Thank you for your reply. I tried every format, but here is your link.
from the opera browser it works flawless, but when i paste your link in a email i get this
img526.imageshack.us/img526/396/screen001d.png
img268.imageshack.us/img268/6371/screen002wg.png
it asks me to check the emailadres en when i choose the first option to send a email with outlook it paste the whole link there.
maybe you know what's the problem.
eelos.
It's not actually a problem - it's just that it's a clickable link. Copy and paste on a PC would do exactly the same thing.
What are you trying to do exactly?
hi,
No, on the pc it will open up a new email with the adress and subject.
I get work mails on my HTC HD2 with two email links in it, to approv the order or to reject the order.
All my employees get them and it will open a new email with all the parameters and you only have to press send and are sales software (server) gets the message and process its.
It works on the iphone, older HTC models etc.
But the HTC HD2 thinks the whole link is the adress, like in the pictures (sorry no direct links, still a new member.....)
hope you can help.

Okay, so you're saying it works with a mailto: link in web pages, but not ones that are in emails?
If that's the case, then I don't see a way round it. It's just the way pocket outlook behaves.
yes, i think it's the UI (manilla), that opens a screen to check the mailadres before it will go to outlook. If i open it from opera, it will go directly to outlook.
I only think it's strange that i'm the only one stumbling on to this problem.
(google won't give me any other hit)
Will try to contact HTC about this. Thank you John for your time.
greetings,
eelos.
