Hello,
Has anyone else noticed that Google Images no longer works on the Universal or is it just me? I get the page and list of next pages etc but no images anymore. Could it be a registry setting needs checking?
Ditto here (JasJar in USA over wifi), suddenly the images do not show up. I think it's a problem with the PIE browser not refreshing, not sure if this is a problem with Netfront or Opera.
I tried running my image query through the Mobile Leap Proxy (http://demo.mobileleap.net/ ) and initially no images were shown, but there was this link at the top of the page that completed the refresh:
[ settings ]
REFRESH 0 ( http://images.google.com/images?q=guitar&sa=N&tab=wi&nojs=1 )
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Clicking that will bring up a Google page that does display the images. Any image searches from that page will display results with images. If you trim off the mobile leap proxy prefix on the URL and use the revised URL that is brought up after the refresh image search also works properly (for example use www.images.google.com/images?q=guitar&sa=N&tab=wi&nojs=1 to search for guitar images).
Once again the awesome Mobile Leap proxy saves the day!
I've searched but I didn't come up with an answer...
Is it possible to have Opera return to the last viewed page when it's opened? Mine defaults to my homepage but I want it to resume on the website I was last looking at.
Anyone have any ideas?
After starting Opera, look in History...you will find the pages you visited today, yesterday, earlier this week etc.
So the last page you visited should be there as well
I am pretty sure what he is after is what the Iphone does. Basically you can shut off Safari on the Iphone and then open it back up and it automatically comes up with the page you were last on at the exact same position you were at when you closed Safari. It is a great feature to have and loved this on my Iphone (2G). Unfortunetly I don't know if Opera can do that, have you had a browse through the Opera config page?

That's exactly what I'm looking for. I looked through the config page but didn't see anything. Anyone have any ideas??
If you configure task manager (the very top right of your home screen) to minimise apps on clicking x (rather than closing), that will keep Opera open in the background. You can still close apps by clkicking and holding on the x
Thus when you click on opera again, the last viewed page will be there.
hope this helps!
I have finally discovered the best method to download youtube videos in the highest quality in playable format on our G1's.
I will update this as frequently as I can to make sure it stays current/works properly.
Alright, so steps 1 and 2 only need to be done one time.
1st: Go to the market and download MyBookmarks.
2nd: Open it, click import your bookmarks (type in 0420420420 when asked for your phone #)
Simply import the bookmark! (one by one or all at once)
3rd: Just go to the youtube page of choice on your stock browser, and once on it go to your bookmarks. Find and click the new bookmark (usually at the very bottom) called "YouTube Downloader".
Thats it. It'll instantly start downloading.
If you would like to rename the file, get a file manager such as ASTRO from the market. For Astro open it up, find the file in /sdcard/downloads and long press it. Then choose edit and rename..
Don't forget to 5* Rerwares great apps! Show them some support
Also Steel functionality has been added.
1. Go to www.xblight.com/tube.html on your steel browser.
2. Since copy and paste doesnt work too well on steel, do this. Hold down shift (arrow facing up, bottom left of keyboard) and start moving the trackball around until the code it all highlighted. Then hold down the track ball and copy all.
3. Now simply add a new bookmark and paste that in the bottom portion.
4. Now just do it the same way as before. Go to a youtube video page and click on the bookmark.
The good thing about the steel method is that it lets you rename the file on the fly
If you are on the youtube application, watching a video, and suddenly decide you want to download it, do the following. Hit menu -> share. Long press the link and copy all. Then just paste it in the URL hit enter, and click on your bookmark =)
I've also added several things which you can see below in the changelog.
Don't try to do it any other way, the steel code does NOT work in the stock browser and vice versa.
E-mail me at [email protected] with any suggestions or problems.
Changelog:
1.0 - Works and downloads the very highest available quality.
1.1 - Quick fix. Found out that our g1's don't like to play the HD videos so now it gets the highest quality that isn't HD.
1.2 - Now it will check to see if you are actually on a youtube video page. If not itll redirect you to the youtube homepage. (Code altered to work on steel)
1.3 [1-3-09] - It now gives you a message right before you redirect so you know whats going on =P. Also the name was changed to YouTube Downloader.
Enjoy!
Where does it store the stuff you Download? Just wondrin...
EDIT - Never mind - I had a go and it goes in the downloads folder on the sdcard an d it works WONDERFULLY!! Thanks for this
Dais xx
I have no clue how you got that to work but great job!
Can't you just cut/paste the bookmark here instead of us needing to get it from that saved bookmark via the import bookmark program?
My guess is it must just be a URL to a site that uses the previous URL you were at (I think it's called the Referrer URL)?
I would but it doesnt work.
If you copy and paste the code in a bookmark on android it'll instantly add http:// to the beginning.
The code is in javascript and adding http:// will render it useless.
This is the only way around it.
Plus its quicker for everyone
so you are just changing the url on the fly?
can it be done with a simple http referrer check?
if you are one of the people who setup one of those sites I think you could do it that way and then it would work from any browser/phone/pc without javascript
1. goto youtube.com/foo?goo=hoo&ioo=joo
2. goto someutubehack.com/getmedavid
3. script getmedavid looks at the referrer which is the url in 1
4. script getmedavid gets the vid and sends it back to you
5. you save it
6. profit! (sorry I read to much /.)
Yeah,
That works, but this way is the quickest way for android phones.
And yea, it just changes the url on the fly,
and if the video has HD available, it gets that version.
Meaning best quality every time =)
Go to the URL in my first post.
There are several methods to do the same thing.
This rocks! Thanks for sharing...
I had previously used another method for downloading, but how does it get any easier than this? You just hit Youtube, find the video, and hit the bookmark.
Only downside is needing to rename the video after download, but that's the same as with any PC-based downloader as well.
worked like a charm
EDIT- So do you have to go through step 2 again everytime? I had to because i couldnt find the "DL Youtube Video" bookmark in my bookmarks..??
If you downloaded it within the past 6-7 hours it will be called Youtube Downloader.
I updated it last night and found that name more fitting.
EDIT: New instructions added check above.
am I crazy or is mybookmarks gone from the market? Lost it when I did a wipe installing 1.41
You're carzy! hehe
I just literally downloaded it from the Market myself... maybe do a search.

Hey fyi 0420420420 no longer has the bookmark. Can you reup it or give a similar solution like you gave to steel users? It was working earlier today but I went to jf1.41 and forgot to save it. Thx
Use the steel link and copy the code and save it to your own bookmarks and upload it to your own number in mybookmark. I just did this and it worked. Plus now you have your own personal copy.
Yes, it appears someone has replaced the bookmark.
I put it back up, still 0420420420.
Don't know why anyone would do that.
Also, the steel code does NOT work with the stock browser.
The easiest and basically only way to get this working on the stock browser is like this.
sweet another reason to get sidetracked at work. good stuff.
Yea don't pay any attention to me. Whoa I got 2 now I'm on a row baby. Well thanks for this anyways, I can't stop downloading from youtube.

If this happens again then I will start constantly changing the numbers.

If you notice that someone has changed this one let me know here or email me asap and i'll put up a new one.
Don't listen to su3ng he has 1 post .

Thanks for the update, but is it really that easy to change a book mark, what a crappy way to set up that app then...
btw, you may want to tell people to do it one by one. cause when your old 420 bookmark was overwritten, there were about 25 bookmarks. i did one by one, and went thru each one hoping that yours was still there, but it'd be a total pain in the ass if you imported all 25 and had to delete them
thanks this is great. i love the fact that it downloads in mp4 format which is great for easy importing into your computer.
I just never thought anyone would overwrite mine.
So sad
I'm gonna talk rerware and see if theres a way to lock it.
EDIT: RERWARE IS GOING TO LOCK 0420420420!
When I try to open a saved HTML page from my SD card in PIE.
Opera takes over and it opens in Opera in stead of PIE!
I can use PIE for normal browsing if I want, just the saved .htm files it opens in Opera even if I open them in/with PIE!
EVEN when I chance the default browser in the registry. (as explained on several threads in these forum.)
How/Why does it do that?
and more important:
How do I fix that?
I couldn't find anything about this particular problem in the forums.
I want to be able to choose in which I want to view my page..
Plz. Help.
Greetz
hi
Perhaps you can switch the default app for the desired extension, with resco explorer.
cheers Avalun
Tried that, didn't work...
But even if PIE is not the default app, i should still be able to open it when I typt file://[path]/[filename]. But when I do so in PIE, it still switches to Opera.
So I went to google, downloaded an image of something I wanted to put for sale on facebook, but facebook doesn't recognize the image.. So I opened it, took a screenshot of the image and tried again, same bad luck..
It shows up in my images as a blank image (The centered image icon with the little crossed out circle in the bottom right corner), and won't let me click on it, and it does this with more than one type of image as well.. It doesn't do this with all images, mainly just any that I download or screenshot.. Anyone have any tips on fixing this..??
PS - if I open the gallery app, I can view the images just fine, but for some reason it won't let me use them in texts, facebook, etc..
Here's a screenshot so u can see what I'm talking about when trying to add the pics through facebook.
Now when I open the gallery app, they show the image thumbnails, and they open just fine..
Wonder is a new copyright thing, I can see FB limiting you (if so) but kinda odd you couldn't use the pic in question in a text., Mind linking what it was and I can try to posting it in my dummy FB account.
I use the mobile web browser side of FB,no FB app. and I initially had trouble posting ANY pic when I 1st got my V20. The issues sorted itself magically one day. Only way I could post a pic was to hit request desktop version & proceed like normal.

Sure, I actually deleted all of those images and removed them from my "For Sale" posts, but the next time it happens I'll send it over so you can have a shot..
Thanks!
