Can't view web pages from history in any browser.
Details:
I used to own the HTC 8125 and never had a data plan (and don't and won't now). I would go to a wifi hot spot and download a bunch of web pages for later use when disconnected. I would just go to the history in IE and could view and read all the pages from there using the IE that came with the ROM. This was a great feature that I can't get to work in HD2 in IE, Opera or Firefox (I installed fennet, which didn't work at all anyway).
Any ideas, workarounds?
Thanks in advance!

Hiya,
I have a problem with internet explorer on my Xda2, Ive searched the forums and cant find anything that helps. The problem is that whilst I'm surfing on my xda and go to another program, then switch back to IE and IE has reset back to the home page. This happens all the time, which means if someone messages me on msn whilst I'm surfing I lose the web page. Its very irritating and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
Hi,
I am not really sure what causes the problem you explained, but why dont you consider other web browser for your XDAII? Here is the list of some alternative web browsers for pocketpc:
1. Access Netfront 3.0 (www.access-us-inc.com)
2. Thunderhawk (www.bitstream.com/wireless/)
3. MultiIE (www.multiie.info)
Personally, I prefer Netfront and Thunderhawk. Anyway, you should check those for yourself.
Regards.

The cause of the problem is that Pocket IE gets closed. So when you "switch back" to Pocket IE, you're actually launching it again. And the new instance of Pocket IE starts at the home page. Too bad I only know the cause of the problem and not the solution.
Perhaps you are hitting the 32 process limit when you switch to another application.
Perhaps try upgrading to the latest ROM, and also remove unused apps from the windows\startup folder.
HTH,

Try to set the home page to BLANK!
Also try MultiIE its the best of all,, you can save images, save web pages, scroll the page by tapping it, and much more....
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?
I've tried these two browsers but i've some problems with some web pages like mail webpage of my e-mail provider Libero Italy or the itinerary of Viamichelin web page. Pages go ahead but don't charge everything well,making usage impossible.
Thia happens also using Operamini as java applet.
I'm using the new official gps enabled Rom but this happened also with the former Rom.
My old Samsung phone managed java Operamini applet to show everything.
Does somebody know this issue and has a solution?
The good thing about the trinity is to behave like a PC along the street, but without this kind of pages many advantages become lost.

just wondering how to change what email address my phone uses by default it always pics my hotmail address when I send email from my contacts and I would like it to use my other address looked high and low for a setting and online...only thing I can think of is maybe its the first one that you set up that it pics by default. any one have any ideas?
also totally off topic but pretty disappointed with skyfire so far...no tabs ,no saving pics,can't open email links, not copy and paste on web pages...too bad as far as just using to surf pages its really damn good I wish I didn't have to think about what 3 browsers I would like to use based on what type of pages I will be going to. when will we have a browser that does it all...opera and skyfire are so close yet one is good for one thing and the other for another...if only they were to fall in love and have a child then we would have a browser that does it all
have you ever tried the gc opera mini cab. for a browser i mean. i am very inhappy with skyfire, but i comes in useful sometimes on some sites
no I havnt tried opera mini yet I always ment to but kinda forgot once 9.5 came out and that has been my main browser.But thanks for the tip ill give it a shot...im really hoping skyfire or opera will shortly add the few things it needs to be perfect.

I would like to use Excel Mobile in my Diamond to retrieve data found on web pages - this is something I can do easily on my desktop pc, but not on Excel Mobile. Is there a workaround - ie can I save a web page as an html file that can be then read by ExcMob? Or maybe even a different spreadsheet that allows web access/data retrieval?
If neither, is this something that would interest anyone on this forum to take a look at?
Thanks
Nikos
Not sure if this is what you want but its much better than excel mobile (not freeware)....

Excel mobile
Thanks Omareo for the suggestion. It looks good but the site has no information on the specific feature I am looking for. Have you used it? If so, can you retrieve web data (from Yahoo for instance) on to the spreadsheet via a query?
Im really not sure about that, but you can download a trial
