GPRS web browsing problem -limited access and no full google

I'm on Tmob USA's GPRS which works fine, except certain pages (like the html full version of google) or blogger.com just will not load over GPRS. I've tried some registry tweaks to make my browser look like another browser and some other tweaks that were recomended and I still have no luck.
I believe another JasJar user was able to set the preferences at Google to always load pages as HTML, but over GPRS I can't save my preferences on that page to do so. Over wifi I'm able to connect to any page just fine (and I've set my google preferences to HTML from the device on wifi), so I believe somewhere the device is changing the settings depending upon my connection method.
This is one of my last JasJar bugs that's driving me nuts. Please help if you can!

Really, no one else is having this problem? crap....

After my last hard reset google keeps diverting to www.google.co.uk/pda. I think that's because I haven't used Tweaks2k2 to change a few bits, as I normally do, but you can still view 'proper' google, by going into preferences (on the website) and changing the default to 'HTML'

See, I tried that with no luck. When I navigate to the preferences page over GPRS it fails to save my preferences, literally every time it times out. When I use Wifi I can navigate to the preferences page and save the preference for full HTML, but it still doesn't load when using GPRS. It's pretty clear that it's using a different set of connection settings when the connection is made via GPRS. What settings do you use with Tweaks2k2? Maybe that will work for me...

As I see it, there are three possible reasons:
1) The connection is not a full internet GPRS connection and maybe instead going to a "walled garden", or using WAP
Go to settings, connections, connections, Manage existing connections and duplicate the settings from your Universal onto another device capable of taking your SIM card. Try that sim card in another device with the same connection settings. I expect you'll get the same results. If so, post the settings here
2) Tweaks has done something undesired. Can you list a few websites that are failing? Personally, I'm reluctant to install ANY software until I'm 100% convinced I need it. This applies also to my desktop and trippley so to my server
3) Blame the user :lol:
I reckon it's 1) :idea:

I just set it to recognise pIE as IE6.0
I'm not convinced that that's going to fix the problem you have though, because I'm sure that I've had that problem on other PPC phones which I never used Tweaks2k2 on, and there was some other way to fix it.
I'll have a play around and see what I can come up with...

Some interesting ideas there. Some of the sites that are failing include:
www.google.com - I can't access the full version and the PDA version hangs constantly during loading and loads results very slow, no images shown when image search is done.
www.blogger.com - It tries to load www.blogger.com/start which again hangs terribly and loads a version of the page with no images.
Various internet shortcuts I imported over from my bookmarks I used on my Dell Axim X30 (PPC2003SE). I'll have to pull a list later if I'm still having this problem.
I don't have another PPC Phone device so I can't try the settings swap but it does sound very likely. I am currently using the cab file from imate for tmobile USA settings (which does create a connection called "tzones" which kinda worries me), it uses the internet2.voicestream.com access poin. I had also manually configured the settings previously using these settings and still had the same problem (pulled from a hofo post by Mashie):
Goto Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Add new ISP...
Give it a name (T-Mobile)
Select Cellular Line (GPRS)
Next
APN = wap.voicestream.com or internet2.voicestream.com (whichever you like)
Next
Next
Finish
leave username, password, domain, etc... all blank

But maybe I need to try some different settings... I'll try playing with the settings I have, creating new settings, and hounding some other Tmob USA GPRS user's settings (hopefully someone using another jasjar).
Re: #2, I haven't actually used Tweaks, I used Resco registry editor to try and make the browser appear to be a full PC browser. I tried a ton of registry settings suggested by some more Hofo super-users, but nothing worked. I eventually got really creative and desperate with some registry edits and finally hard reset the device, tried the suggested reg edits again without success, then hard reset again.
Re: #3 - lol. I seem to be the only one with this problem, so I'm not rulling it out... I was a bit worried someone was going to suggest that the PEBKAC (problem exists between keyboard and chair).

www.hotmail.com and www.handango.com are sites I have experienced cannot be accessed in their full PC version. The PIE on the JJ takes us to the mobile sites.
Likewise a strange thing happens when I try to log into the "PocketPCDubai Forums". PIE starts to download the site page. I can see the progress indicator gradually move up. When about 180 Kb has been downloaded the progress indicator disappears meaning that the page has fully been downloaded. Nevertheless the page is blank and with nothing on it.
I also have tried to modify the registry to make the PIE appear as a full browser but nothing seems to work.

Has anyone had this issue and resolved it via ROM upgrade? I'd be ready to upgrade the ROM right away if I knew it fixed this issue. If not, I'd rather not waste a few hours setting up, reinstalling, and configuring everything.

Does Mozilla Minimo work on the JasJar?
If it does - I believe that might offer a more feature full alternative to the bundled pocket PC InternetExplorer Galt.
Hope this helps

Finally remembered the address that I used to use for Google when I had this problem on my Jam...
http://www.google.com/webhp
That wont redirect you to the /pda page. There are probably similar pages for other websites, but this is the one I used most!

This registry hack will make Pocket Internet Explorer identify itself as IE 5.5 on Windows 2000. However it will prevent web sites that provide Pocket PC specific content to be able to know you're actually using a Pocket PC
Change Pocket IE to IE Version 5.5 (For Secured Sites)
1) Go to the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\?CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent\ key. 2) Set the default value to "Mozilla/4.0" (Default is "Mozilla/2.0"). 3) Set the "Version" value to "MSIE 5.5" (Default is "MSIE 3.02"). 4) Set the "Platform" value to "Windows NT 5.0" (Default is "Windows CE").
This will only work on some secure sites that check version number rather than perform a check for support of secured transactions.

Tried that, although it loaded the main page (I think I had it cached from wifi browsing) it didn't let me search from there.
I finally upgraded my ROM to the latest 1.13.53 version and still couldn't resolve this with alternate URLs or registry edits. Any ideas, anyone? I'm using the T-mob USA cab settings from imate...

How to change user-agent for PIE in AKU 3.3

Hi
I've been trying to change the user-agent for PIE on my JasJam flashed with an AKU 3.3 ROM (South African Qtek).
On the previous version (AKU 2.2) I would be able to change the user agent by changing those keys in the registry:
for example:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Templates\Same as Pocket PC]
"Platform"="Windows CE; i-mate JASJAM V2 PPC; 240x320"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Post Platform]
"i-mate JASJAM V2 PPC; 240x320"=""
This doesn't seem to work anymore, user-agent (as checked with www.useragentstring.com) always return:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 6.8)
I've tried locating all occurences for Mozilla/4.0 in the registry, change them but with no effect.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
JY

Funny on how you could search for hours, and it's only a few minutes after you post a question that you find the answer:
The user-agent string in AKU 3.3 is located at
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Internet Explorer\User Agent]
"Custom"="PPC; 240x320; HTC_TyTN/1.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1"

What were you trying to do by changing the UA? AKU 3.3+ doesn't send the changed UA anymore.
We had been discussing this in several threads already, but the solution created some problems with SMS/e-mail or Favorites in PIE.

Without the proper user-agent (so it reports to be an i-mate JasJam), I can not use the wap web site from my mobile company (Telstra).
AKU 3.3 certainly do not use the same registry keys as earlier version, but I was able to modify the user-agent as mentioned in my previous post.
I will see if it creates problem with SMS as you mentioned.
JY

No problem with SMS after changing that registry key
It works fine...
And I get exactly the user-agent I want.
I'm surprised this wasn't found earlier...
JY

What did you change the UA to?
I tried your registry setting, but it did not work with Cingular Video (changing to LG-CU500). The fix that I was talking about replaced two files. That fix is still buggy, but allows Cingular Video and the Planet3 equivalent in Europe to work.

into:
"Custom"="i-mate JASJAM V2 PPC; 240x320; HTC_TyTN/1.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1"
As the JASJAM V2 bit is what is being checked by the telstra wap site.
I don't know what you need to change it into so it works on your network.
You can control which user-agent is sent with this web site: http://www.useragentstring.com
Make sure after changing the registry that you kill IE, so it will reload the registry content

Ah, ok. We have different needs then. To get the videos from Planet3 and Cingular working, we need to change the Mozilla/4.0 part, not the stuff after that.

I think it would be worth playing with that key though, because it definitely has an effect on the user-agent string used by IE...

If you want to change the User Agent String for AKU3.3+ or WM6 you have to edit the browser.dll from Windows directory on Hermes. You must take a dumped browser.dll, because the file can't be copied outside Windows-dir.
Open browser.dll with Hex Editor and search for Mozilla/4.0
You can change Mozilla/4.0 into anything else you want,
e.g.
Mozilla/4.0 (11 signs) into
Palm750/v000 (11 signs)
It won't work for some reason if more signs added, but maybe somebody knows what i do wrong.
[I once changed the things after Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.1;...) and then the Registry Setting worked again in HKLM\Security\Internet Explorer\User Agent\Custom and this Registry Setting replaces the User Agent in the browser.dll (maybe the %d after Mozilla/4.0? causes the fixed User Agent sending from browser.dll??). But no access with correct sent User Agent from registry. Strange. With Hex-Editor-Mod it lets me access, with exactly the same User Agent prooved with www.fiddlertool/useragent.aspx ]
Works fine then (tested on Hermes)
I added a dumped browser.dll in browser.zip, but i can't say if it will work on your ROM too. If not, simply delete it again, it will be replaced with original browser.dll from ROM.
For all 3 Austria Users with AKU3.3 or WM6 installed: Simply copy the file from browserUA-3AT 240x320.zip to Windows-directory.
No need to change registry anymore.

Nice work, PAPPL! Thank you

Here is the CAB for the Browser.dll for Cingular Video to work in PIE in WM6 or WM5 Aku 3 ROMs. It reports UA of LG-CU500. Blackjack or Samsung A707 UA strings (the other very popular CV devices) have UA's that are longer than 11 digits so the HEx edit wont work.
Also here is a RealPlayer CAB with the browser UA fix autoinstall!

Curious. Tried the wpbear cabs on my factory unlocked HTC branded Trinity P3600 (I know this is a Hermes thread, so please excuse me crashing in. Thought the phones might be similar enough this could get me Cingular Video). Followed the intructions exactly. Strangely, after installation I could no longer even launch Pocket IE. Got a message saying application had the wrong signature or something similar. It was easy enough to uninstall the cabs so it didn't hurt to try. Even aside from this I am have been a bit puzzled that I can't get to the MEdia Net home page, not that this is any great loss. I assume it suggests my phone is not set up to play with the wap.cingular proxy fully. My Internet access seems unrestricted however which is the main thing!

The proxy is wireless.cingular.com:80 ! wap.cingular is the access point (AP). If you have wap.cingular as the proxy, you will not be able to use the Cingular medianet/video pages.

Thank you so much chenga! Finally I have the proxy set up right to get at the MEdia Net home page. Actually, I had seen those settings mentioned before but I had quite figured out how to enter them correctly until now.
The main problem was probably just my stupidity and ignorance, but I have also come up with a feasible sounding explantation as to why I got confused so I can try to feel less silly!
In case this helps anyone else, the thing that had truly been throwing me off is in my the Connections preferences there are are two sets of preferences as per Windows Mobile default. One has the default name "My ISP" and the other is "My Work Network".
The "My Work Network" is the one which has the option to enter the proxy and well as an APN (It also has the VPN settings options, although that is not applicable in this instance) I think my confusion is because I just switched to Cingy from T-Mo and with them the "My Work Network" settings would probably (I think..but may be wrong) only be used if you had a business plan and need to VPN in past your workplace firewall to get at an Enterprise server of some variety or other (No longer needed with Direct Push over http though)
The "My ISP" settings area has no option to enter a proxy (at least on my device). Solution, use "My Work Network" set it all up as needed and rename it to something relevent e.g. Cingular Proxy.
I suppose I was also thinking way back to my old, old Palm OS Treo days when any proxy option was accessed through its web browser.
I notice that the while use the proxy adds the MEdia Net specific features, it appears from my cursory testing to block SMTP, POP and IMAP. Curiously, it does allow transfers using an FTP client.
Still this is great. I can still use wap.cingular without a proxy for the most part and then just change the connection to use the proxy to get at MEdia Net stuff when desired. Best of both worlds really. Thanks again!

Sorry to bump the thread. I was examing the settings in the Cingular WAP Setup CAB (link earlier in thread) and noticed that it changes the DNS servers to those offered by the free OpenDNS service.
(For anyone new to DNS, it is the way that a human readable Internet address e.g. www.example.com. gets turned into an actual numercial address which a device can really use to find something on the Internet.)
Nothing wrong with that, but it worth noting as that comes down to personal taste. One can always change the DNS servers in the Connection settings at any time. Leave them blank to use Cingular's DNS servers.
My limited experience of the OpenDNS servers is that they are very fast, though can occaisionaly be a bit inconsisitent. They do also filter addresses, mostly in a helpful. e.g. they try to correct obvious typos into a real address (like changing example.coooommmm into example.com) and they also block known phishing sites (fake sites that try to steal personal information). If you type in a web address that cannot be found the OpenDNS server will present you with a suggestions page along with some sponsored links. Doesn't seem to be anything underhand, the page clearly declares itself. But if you use the CAB above and didn't happen to know about OpenDNS you might end up wondering why you end up looking at their page occaisionally.
Edit: Oops, silly me. The post with the originally CAB did already say it uses the OpenDNS servers. (Yes, I know, it really is about time I learned to fully read everything before I post!) Still, perhaps the extra extra details may be helpful to someone anyway.

True, that was stated when I posted that cab. If you are on Cingular you really need a better DNS, theirs suck.

remote record sky tv???

hi there.
on my last SE phones (k810i, k850i) i had this app installed so i could remote record on my sky+ box from anywhere.
link
i tried installing it on my X1, and cannot get it to work.
does anyone use a similar prog?
thanks

no-one?
can anyone suggest anything?

I have also been trying this without success. I currently have two versions of the SKY+ Java software, one which works with the touchscreen one which doesnt. the touchscreen one always times out during connection whereas the non touchscreen one says "The data connection has failed" whenever I press the login button. The app itself seems very compatible and appears to fill the WVGA screen very nicely, however we will need someone who knows a little more about how to "point the the java app in the right internet direction" (excuse my non technical description, this is where my technical ability runs out ) the java emulator itself does not help much as it contains no options to apply to the app

I have it working great. Just install the JBED Java version and then install it from inside that. It only logs in when you have the Vodafone proxy disabled though.
It's great to have a 50 channel EPG!!

could you please expand a little, how do you 'disable the vodafone proxy'? as far as I can tell that doesnt really make any sense! I really want to get this software working so any help you can give as to how you set yours up would be most appreciated, Thankyou

This worked for me:
Install Jbed attached above and use it to install the Sky.jar program.
On your Xperia go through:
settings
then select the connections tab
then the connections icon
followed by the advanced tab
Now chosse the select networks button and in the top drop down menu (the connection for programs which automatically connect to the net to use) and change it to "WEB" rather than "My ISP".
My ISP uses wap.vodafone.co.uk as an access point name via a proxy server.
WEB uses "internet" as an access point name without using a proxy server.
You do need to also do the following to get the service runiing:
1. Register for "my sky" at the sky website.
2. Add remote recording to the list of services runningon your my sky account
3. Activate remote recording on your sky box through its menu system
I've tested it out and I can access the 7day listing guide and send record instructions straight to the box (only takes 1-2mins).

Has anyone got this working on an o2 X1 - I don't have a "Web" option in my connections!

The WEB is a Vodafone name. I know o2 work on the same type of system (web and wap) so if you list what's available we should be able to take a guess at which one you should be using.

Hi artesea, thanks for your response. I have just tried again.... the o2 X1 has a choice of My ISP or Work Internet - so selected Work Internet and bingo it all loaded at connected at last
Tested it and within five seconds it updated my sky HD box!!!!
Thanks all!

Hi,
Sorry for the slight change in direction in the topic but it is relevent (hopefully you guys will agree)
whats the difference between "My ISP" and "work Internet" other than one points to the providers proxy server? Im with o2 and have the unlimited web bolt on - is this only unlimited web as long as i go through the "My ISP" connection?
If not, I dont actually see the point in going through the ISP's proxy at all?
Cheers,
Craig

Both Vodafone and o2 have two types of connections, can't remember the exact names so I'll call them INTERNET and WAP.
They were set up back in the day when the internet on your mobile was WML files and not much else.
WAP would allow you to access the internet on your phone, mainly to the companies own portal (Vodafone Live! etc).
INTERNET was to be used by a computer connected to the phone via Infrared or data cable. The networks have compressors at their end to decrease the size of the files to make it quicker and cheaper (you might notice images look crap). Connecting over WAP wouldn't work.
Since then phones have got very smart, and networks are getting behind.
For example you can't access Vodafone Live! whilst using INTERNET, but then you can't access a 3rd party app on WAP.
I can see that some apps are being allow over WAP (google maps), however I've found it a lot easier to have everything running over INTERNET.
Not 100% sure if o2 will allow you to use INTERNET in your bundle, but Vodafone do.

Can someone post the Sky Remote Record java app? Or at least post a link where they found it. I have it working on my X1 but the program size is so small it is hard to read.

How do you get around the issue of logging in using an O2 X1? I have the app installed and can enter username and password but can't select login. I saw a suggestion was to map the left and right keys to volume up and down (think it was for a differernt handset though) but when in the buttons settings there is no options to remap these keys to volume.

The left and right buttons are mapped to Login and Exit already.
My problem is the network not found problem. Like hell I'm installing another Java. I did that with my old Polaris and had nothing but problems afterwards.

But on my handset (and I know some other peoples) the login button (left softkey) does not function so you can't even login. It would appear that some people have a workaround for this, just wondering what that is.

after a bit of hair pulling i finally managed to get this to work at last.
I finally bit the bullet and de-vodafoned my device to the new R2A ROM (using SD card method - see other threads for more info).
I use AE Button Plus to remap the left and right soft keys to "hard" keys (select left key -> 3. Handle by AEBplus -> 1. single press -> 11. press left soft key. Same for right (soft)key). After hitting OK choose file then "save & exit"
This might help O2 users with the connection setup.

Help
I have reassigned the left and right key with AE Button Plus but still cannot login or exit via the keys?
Any help out there?

For me, the hard key to log in would only work when the keyboard is open. Odd, but gets around it and I can now at least remote record.
I have just assigned the buttons, so they always operate the softkeys, which is a bit annoying as I prefered one for rotate screen. Is there a way to only map the buttons within the Java app?

Thanks sebring
This appears to be the same for me.
Keyboard open and the reassigned keys work....really strange that.
Thanks again.

T-mobile Pro 2 Push Internet

I have been going through the t-mobile version of the touch pro 2 and I have not been able to find the settings for "Push Internet".
I did a quick google and found that the T-mobile EU version has removed it, so I assume that the US version also has the same problem.
Is this a rom upgrade issue or is there a cab that can be installed to override the t-mobile settings on the touchflo 3D 2.1?
Thanks,

Unless someone on this forum is really clever, I think that we will have to wait until we can flash to a different rom

I was hoping that like many things disabled from the pro 2, a quick registry hack might be possible. Anyone know how?

sorry, removed! but at least the FM radio and extra camera settings are found on this blog!

try in here...
HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila.
among the sub file:
-Internet.SetOperaForeground
-InternetPush.PostFirstRun
-PushMailOn
-DefaultBrowserIsIE
those look like points of interest. try changing the values around on those. i already turned the push mail on. but i havent seen a difference yet. maybe because i havent rebooted. but yeah, ill try those and get back to you..

I maybe too newbie but is it T-Mobile (UK?) settings?
Has the push function been removed from the ROM, or is it T-Mobile settings... I couldn't get MS Exchange to sync with T-Mobile default 3g settings so used these which worked... I don't know if it will help th push internet too... Just trying to help, if it's not relevant then flaming not appreciated!
Under the connections tab, edit existing connections...
ISP Name - T-Mobile GPRS
Name of Connection T-Mobile GPRS
Connection Type - Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Portal - general.t-mobile.uk
Username - user
Password - one2one
The default settings use a proxy server which some applications don't like.

I took a look through the registry, I went through the whole thing. I notice in software/HTC/manila there is the settings for push internet. I messed with some settings and it looks like the push internet is enabled by default but the touchflo program is missing the push internet settings button.
Is there a way to hack the layout links on the TF program through the reg?

I dont think you can access TF settings through the registry. i have seen many settings for it. just a couple here and there. We may need a fix for it in the form of a CAB. i dont see anyone figuring this out through RegEdits. im sure a lot of people have been through it and tried different things, so we may just have to wait for a new ROM?

Push internet is a new thing in the TP2. It downloads web pages on a schedule so they're ready when you need it. T-mobile took out the feature, presumably to save bandwidth.

aahhh!!! didn't know that...thanx

I have been checking through reg again.
I think that in the Hkey_CU/Software/HTC/Manila/ we are missing some of the Keys to push internet. I see that you can setup some of the push internet features but there are no options like the URL, download times, or anything, but just below the same area allows you to configure almost every other auto download service like schedule your stock, and download times, weather, auto-download.
Maybe someone with push internet working can post a pic of the push internet settings from Hkey_CU/Software/HTC/Manila/

There's also bound to be an XML file or additional settings in the existing one (InternetPortal-en-us.xml) and t-mobile might have removed a DLL or two. What we really need is a file-comparison of the two devices as well as a registry comparison.

Can't login on websites with HTC browser

Hi,
I have a "weird" problem with my HTC Hero: whenever I try to login on a webpage (e.g. a forum or the website of my university), it doesn't work...
So: on the website I tap on "Log in". The browser takes me to another site where I enter my username and password. But after tapping the "Login" or I tap "Enter", the browser redirects me to the previous login website, where I have to press again "Log in" and re-enter my details...This happens every time... It doesn't make "the click" to direct me to the site I get when the login works... My username and password are 100 % correct...
When i try it with Opera Mini, it DOES work...
Is it some kind of setting or ... ? I have enabled the browser to store my usernames and passwords I enter...
Thanks in advance !

Hmmm... anyone?

I have this problem with capital one's website.. I would like to know a fix as well.

Luna,
can't help you but I can share your problem. It happens to me too.
You are not at Manchester Uni are you?

I've tried a few websites that I use where login details are required i.e. forums, banks, email etc and it works fine for me.
Just out of curiosity, do you zoom in on the web page login area so that the 'Login' button is larger and can be selected easier? I always do that and never seem to have the problem you're experiencing.

@cbailey: no, I live in Belgium, so ..
@thecastleforkid: I just tried your method (zooming in on "Log In"), but it din"t work...
Like when I try to login in on a forum, for example www.9lives.be/forum (a belgian website), i try to login... so i click on the login button... the site redirects me to : www.9lives.be/login... I enter my details... the site SHOULD go back to www.9lives.be/forum, but in stead it goes to www.9lives.be/login/login......
and this happens with other websites also...
In Opera mini everything works fine (but i prefer the Hero browser with the multitouch...)
Very strange...

Hello.
I had the same issue with the french provider Orange.
So this is what I did to fix it, I don't know if it'll be the same for you :
Settings > Wireless Controls > Mobile Network Settings > Access Point Name
And I changed Orange World to Orange Internet.
The thing is you can't establish any secured connections (https) with some APNs apparently (I don't know the technicals details, sorry if I'm wrong in the explanations), so just try to change it.

Hi!
thanks for the tip, but I use Mobile Vikings... so I don't know what to change..
also: with opera mini it works fine.. and that's also on Mobile Vikings (obviously...).. so I guess it has to do with the browser of the Hero instead of my APN...
Correct me if I'm wrong
greets

Try to connect your websites over wifi and you'll be fixed.
If it doesn't work on wifi with hero's browser it's not your apn.

Well... I've tried that method (connecting through wifi) before... it didn't work... tried it again now... didn't work...
Man, it's getting annoying (not a lot of other complaints on the Hero though...)
Thanks for the tip anyway !
greets

I do think it has something to do with the security settings on the native browser. I try to login to my work intrAnet via the native browser and many times it goes straight into a password violation lockout because the network thinks I am trying to hack into it. ANyway, I have had your same problem. Guess for those certain sites you are just gonna have to use Opera Mini or something similar.

It's really weird I guess I can't help you sorry :/
Did you check if htc hero's browser accept the cookies in the settings ?
