HD2 and Opera - HD2 General

Hi All,
I am enjoying the experience of owning my HD2 (what a great phone ) however i am struggling with the opera/bbc iplayer problem.
i have changed the settings in opera itself and now instead of the download flash message when i try to play a prog, i get a message saying that only vodaphone has permission to view using 3G. this is odd because i use vodaphone.
i had a similar problem with my omnia but simply went into the advanced settings on opera and changed settings to wap. problem is, i cannot find where to do this on the opera i have installed on the HD2.
can someone help me regarding finding where to change this setting?
cheers
Mike

Internet Explorer Mobile cannot open page

Hi all,
I got this message on my Wizard when I try to enter any web address or click a favorite : "The address is not valid. Check the address and try again.".
I think it must have happened after I used Mermaid to clean some wrong registry, now IE just doesn't respond well. (however another browser works, like AvantGo or Mini Opera).
I have hard-reseted the device and restore system settings but no luck (since the system restore must have put the error back in place).
any idea ?
thx in advance.
maybe you have to change the settings in the connection tab. I had a similar problem and it was because by default the GPRS connection was used and I only wanted to use WIFI. Make sure that the connection settings are correct for your service provider.
hope this helps
nope, not working with either GPRS or Wifi
even so that opera works fine with both GPRS or Wifi or LAN connected to PC. And I did compare my connections settings to a friend who has the same phone, the same O2 provider and they are both similar.
So my question is more :
- how do I reinstall Internet Explorer only ?
is there a way ?

You can't. It's part of the Mobile O/S.
Do the hard reset again but don't restore the settings. See if it works.
hard reset was the answer
such a shame ... :-(
Did you find some solution? Was it OK after hard reset?
Removed IE--How to redirect programs to Opera?
I have a related problem:
I installed Opera Mini 4.1 and it works great, much quicker and better display than IE. However, it appears that a number of other applications have failed to work and time out without IE. Do I need to reinstall IE? (I was able to set up Opera to open with the IE button.
Does my question make sense? Basically, programs that need a browser don't seem to connect through Opera. How do I direct them to the new browser in the absence of IE? Thanks in advance!

i cant get opera mini on my wizard. help, please. says phone model not detected

I have the same issue via t-mobile , conect ok via usb pc, who is your 3g service provider
I know in the UK, t-mobile class youtube as adult content. And by default the adult content lock is in place on everyones data service. If you phone t-mobile customer services they can remove this lock for you
I know that vodafone class practically ANY site as potential adult content and you have to get the lock taken off. Perhaps this is the case here too as suggested above? hope it's that simple mate.
Thanks for your help guys..
But I am in switzerland and I use my WiFi connection at home to connect.
Even then the youtube player gives an error.
My HD is not under any contract so I guess no one has locked any stuff on the phone.
The surprising thing is it logs on to my youtube account when I use account manager to sign in.
I have been playing aorund trying to find out the problem but success has eluded me till now..lets see if I find the problem I will post it here..
I have the same problem, am on a good wi-fi connection that works when I use Opera for browsing, but I get connection error with the default Youtube player. I have tried soft reset and removed last installed programs, no luck!
Anyone have a solution
Have you edited your proxy settings in Comms Manager so that you do *not* use a proxy to connect?
I had to do this so that i could use the youtube app on T-mobile.
Petrov.
Same problem on Orange UK, regardless of how I connect. It's been like that since I got it.

Thanks for your quick respond!
I have tried to delete all my connections and then set them up again (with no proxy), but still have the same problem. The strange thing is that everything worked when I got the phone.
Is there any connection settings in the Youtube application? I haven`t found any my self....

Hi,
install another youtube player. you can find another player here in the forum. it works.
I don´t have so much knowledge about this, but I had the same problem on my own. I think it is realated to the Flashplayer. So soon if i installed another youtube player, everthing from youtube works fine.

I had the same problem, tried several solutions with no luck. Started to use the other Youtube player, but as you say it`s not that good. The solution for me was to hard reset the device, and now everything works fine!
I am not sure, but I think maybe the problem was that I had installed several media players (TCMP, DivX, CP) and it became a conflict or something, after the hard reset I only have Core Player as media-software installed (+WMP) and all the other software as before the problem.
Good luck!
Petter
Thanx hard reset worker. my voice recorder software works now too thanx for the quick reply

confirmed, i spoke to a fairly knowledgable person in t-mobile support after i was having issues (he didnt even tell me to sod off when i said i wasnt using their firmware)
turns out on t-mobile they have switched to using a transparent proxy but the connection setup on the htc still puts one in, its enough to untick the proxy and youtube/windows live/activesync among other things start working. I havent managed to get skype going yet but i expected that to be blocked
default youtube player connection failed error message
I am having the same problems with my orange mobile contract. It worked for 2 weeks and im not sure what i did but its now giving me a connection failed error message. I cant seem to find any settings in the player or in comms manager. Im going to ring orange and see what they say.
Tronec, Did you get reply from Orange? I have same issue - Opera fine on WiFi and on "phone" but Youtube "Connection Failed"
I tried everything, never got past the error. Flashing a new rom fixed it, along with a whole load of other things.
Have the same problem. The hard reset didn't work for me. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Opera won't render pages

When I'm using Opera, when i go to the first page, it works fine, but going anywhere after that gives me an HTTP 500 internal server error. does anyone know how to fix this?

Unfortunately, I'm in America and i don't get any service or HTC help
I found the problem. I have to turn on WiFi before opening Opera. This fixes the problem

Stop Opera Defaulting To Mobile Version Of Website

Hi,
I m trying to stop Opera 9.5 defaulting to the mobile version of the EBay website when I connect through Three 3 mobile. When I use Wifi it connects to the full webpage, when I connect through my three data connection it defaults to the mobile version H3G.Ebay and wont display the full one. Any ideas???
Maybe ebay detecting the ip and thus choosing to display the mobile version?
As Arfster said, ebay is seeing your host as coming from a mobile ISP and redirecting you to their mobile site. You could try going through an internet proxy, although I'm not sure how to acheive that.
Will perhaps do a bit more research. IE on this phone also will only display mobile site.
My N95 8gb running Opera was fine although & could get full website. I think I had to click a link on mobile website to show full version but once stored in favourites would load 1st time. This option not available now.
Was wandering about the options within the opera:config menu. ?
If I enter www.ebay.co.uk into Opera on Dutty's WM6.1 Ver 4.3 ROM it takes me to the full site. That's with default settings - I have not changed anything in opera:config.
At a guess, your N95 8GB must be on a different network?
I'm fairly certain that this is a network issue and nothing to do with your useragent string in Opera.
I would call 3 and take it up with them, as since they have got a specific address (h3g.ebay.co.uk) it would appear that 3 are the ones doing the redirecting within their network.
thats something i would like to know as well.. i hate when im using google and it opens a mobile version of websites by default. any wyay of swtiching this off? thank you
so I take it that since there aren't any further replies to any threads pertaining to this that no one has found a solution ? grr ¡malditos desgraciados!
It is not a network issue.
I had Opera 10 loading the fullpage untill 10 min ago.
Then I tryed to activate flash and now it redirects me to the mobile: same phone, opera version, network. Only changed settings.
My problem is I can't roll it back!

HTC-HD2 streaming trouble on T-MOBILE

I have recently got my first windows phone on contract from T Mobile, it's a HTC HD2 and i cannot get it to stream anything ie.YouTube, BBC i-player. Is there anything i can do? Please explain simply as i am a newbie.
You will not be able to stream BBC iplayer due to the T-mobile servers being in Germany.
Copy right restricts this, because iplayer thinks you are based in Germany.

You need to turn off their proxy server.
Settings > Wireless controls > Menu > Connections > Manage existing connections > Proxy Settings (tab) > uncheck 'This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet'
Credit to ian_uk1975 for the above, tried to link to it but can't as I'm a 'new user' of only 3.5 years

Is this correct ?
it's correct that turning off the proxy will help your connection... as to the germany bit, that probably won't be a problem without the proxy set.
Hi there,
I have the same problem where I cannot use BBC's iPlayer on my HTC HD2. I'm on a T-Mobile contract and have unchecked the proxy box as suggested above but still doesn't work for me.
My HTC HD2 has Dutty's latest ROM (posted yesterday). Any other options available?
Thanks in advance.
does the proxy thing only effect a wifi connection or 3g/mobile connection too?
you need to login to your account page on tmobiles website and turn off the content filtering, this will fix it
hi
Forgot to mention that bit.
Yes, works fine with WiFi but not at all over T-Mobile 3G.
In fact the BBC website throws up this message:
"Sorry, that didn't work
Please switch to a Wi-Fi connection to play the programme.
Streaming BBC iPlayer programmes on a 3G connection is currently only available to users on the 3 netowrk and contract users on the Vodafone network."
Funnily enough it worked on a 1.66 ROM I installed a few days ago, so I am figuring that I can set it to work by changing an entry in the registry.
What I have done so far includes:
1. Unchecked proxy box as suggested above.
2. Changed the registry setting so that it looks like an HTC Touch HD etc instead of an HTC HD2
3. Tried Opera, Internet Explorer, SkyFire
Thanks in advance ...
Thanks. Just tried removing content filtering but still doesn't work :-(
Keep the suggestions flowing ... TIA
Incidently, YouTube works perfectly (both 3G and WiFi) ... Just iPlayer doesn't :-(
try the coreplayer / myplayer combo. that bypasses the no 3g checks. works really well over hsdpa
Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion. Can you clarify? What exactly will I need to install. Both coreplayer and mplayer? I can't seem to find the CAB files elsewhere on xda-developer ... thanks in advance ...
by the way, noticed some interesting registries under:
\HKLM\Software\Opera\Prefs\Trusted Protocols
mms 1,0,
rtsp 1,0,
vnd.youtube 0,0,\Windows\YouTube.exe
Any chance something needs to be added/changed in here?
I only ask this since YouTube works fine but iPlayer doesn't (a noob clutching at straws :-(
