Hi....I recently flashed CUSTEL'S V2.5 WM6 and I was running Dopod WM6. With dopod wm6, IE was full version and I got full websites with great quality pictures etc. Now, with CUSTEL'S WM6, I am on Pocket IE and it just plain stinks. Is there a way to change IE or get rid of the "pocket" version or do I have to live with it while using this WM6 rom?
U can try Netfront, Opera, P.I. plus for your PPC. Just do a search for more info on these...
You never had a "full" IE as your calling it. It was Pocket IE in both roms, however, there might of been some setting changes. Do you have images turned on? Are you browsing through a mobile proxy now? Make sure you are going to the same addresses as before.

Well, I just had to assume it was full....things like yahoo for instance, if I went to yahoo b4, I would get the full yahoo website. Now, I automatically get redirected to mobile yahoo...and images on all websites are very low quality where as b4 they were fine. I can not find anywhere to change these settings.
there will be a option in pocket ie somewhere can't remember where atm, (i'm currently hooked on opera ppc 8.65) where you can tell pie to identify itselfs as a mobile browser, you will get pages optimised for mobile devices.(or it might be in pieplus or one of the other reg hacks )
or you can tell it to identify as a ie6 in which case you will get web pages desgined for a full size screen...
registry hack
it's a registry hack that announces what version of IE you're using.
Do a google search and you'll get you're answer.
It's HKLM/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/ Windows/ Current Version/Internet Settings/5.0/User Agent
Change Version to MSIE 6.0

Hahaha, probably faster as to login on a forum and ask you're question!
Thanks for the replies.....I am unfamiliar with how to get into the registry so I will have to figure something else out.
get a tweak program
A lot of the tweaking programs will do this for you.
www.tweaks2k2.net is one of the best
What if we used a Proxy Server instead of the WAP servers, and mobile servers that are provided.. then wouldnt the pages show up in full form?

Are there any freeware browsers that handle proxy's like NetFront?
I am in the process of upgrading from PPC 2002 and just can't justify spending any more money on software for the old version.
I'd rather keep changing my connection settings.
But it would be nice if there was a freeware browser that let me set a proxy, so I can continue using my t-mobile free internet until the upgrade.
Thanks in advance.
(sorry for the cross post, I posted it in the wrong forum first)
I thought proxy was set up under settings/connections rather than in the browser....or are you referring to something else. Have you tried ftxpbrowser, it is in the rom kitchen and can be included in the rom to be burned. I looked on the web and searched ftxpbrowser and saw that there are different version for 2000, 2002 and wm2003, it was a free program, you will need to check if this is still the case.
No need to double post a question, lots of people on the board without duplicating.
Yeah, but then the email is messed up.
New ExtROM for Telstra iMate. Has the new video viewer so you can watch Foxtel etc. Probably some other bits and pieces that I haven't had time to take a look at.

Haven't tried it with any of WM6 flavours.

Excellent work. Just loaded Black 2.0 and didn't really want to load the new rom I just downloaded from iMate website. Time to install some cabs and have a play with the Foxtel channels.

You mean the one that was released weeks ago and discussed here?

yeah it was discussed and released, but nobody extracted or posted the extended rom.
I asked for it, but nobody did it. This is great, got the files.... now....
i noticed a lot of new stuff.... lots of cabs that are not normally there. does anybody know what they do!!! i would like to get some of the new features, i know instinctively what a lot of them do, but i really dont have any clear guidelines or indication for the following as to whether they will add value, or clutter....

I believe the player is to fix a streaming video problem that existed in that the default player did not work with the format that Foxtel is streamed using.
Not sure about the Telstra 5.2 bit. I'm not smart enought to deconstruct these things...
EDIT: Oh never mind... I just realised what the question was... It's too early in the morning to be reading and posting

the Videoplayer_no_Uninstall is for Foxtel
Telstra v5.2 is for setting up dataconnections and stuff... but this checks your IMEI before it starts...and if its not an IMATE it will not load...
Ok, i seem to have found a little bit...
NITZ is network identification and time zone disabling facility, so dont install...
MyPlace appears to be some sort of shopping or internet web facility link/app probably just to encourage us to buy more...
WaveDev is supposed to add base boost to the device for tcpmp and the like, so probably worth installing
RTSP is real time streaming protocol, so probably needed for the foxtel installation
PP Version might be to do with the java midlet, not sure yet.
MWizard cant find anything on at all yet.
3818_07 and AUS_HR and prefRat_2 still looking....
Installed MyPlace cab which has a few good web shortcuts. Also installed the Videoplayer_no_Uninstall is for Foxtel, but it comes up with an error when I start the app."PVPlayer cannot be opened. Not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its componets cannot be found".
So I think it may need another one of the CAB's installed to get it working.
ANyone else had a play with this yet?
Cheers,
Dev
RTSP didn't help, still got the error.
I'll try another cab.
i have extracted and got all the cabs. i havent tried the foxtel, though that is the one that i want.
there is a subscription fee.
also an imei check is required, if you dont have imate, it wont install apparently. mine is imate jasjam, so hopefully it will work.

Getting a bit of research going, and testing.
FIRSTLY. IF YOU HAVE WM6 DO NOT INSTALL PV PLAYER OR RTSC.
You dont need it. Media Streaming works for Foxtel services. The reason PV Player is available is due to WM5 and the shortfall of the OS. WM6 uses media streaming and it works, so we dont need that.
The new telstra cab file is beneficial. It installs the correct settings for MMS and internet, sets the WAP facility and i also find i get better phone connection, might be an appearance, see later.
The proxy manager that is installed should be used with My Places, to force the system through the WAP and thus receive the concessional access charges of My Places. Also, My Places being WAP based, is very text limted, and download size limited compared to most, so the cost of access is much cheaper.
However, I suspect leaving the proxy on is going to interfere with push email, and general browsing. So its a matter of turning the proxy on before connecting to the internet (and WIFI is not available when proxy on), so that you can connect to the internet My Places and their rosey garden of chosen content.
However it is possible to access foxtel via the normal internet settings, but suspect if you do that you are going to get or incur premium data charges.
So in summary the ones i wanted i dont want, and the ones i didnt want or need, i installed. Not all though, if I couldnt see a reason for them, skipped them.
Still awaiting some feedback or input in what most of them were about, but if you are on telstra, then some of the items in that extended rom are worth while.
If somebody after this does want to know what i installed, and the effects (if known!), PM me. Its going to be a bit of trial and error over time, so better to PM rather than me keep posting back....
Also, might be beneficial for somebody to consider looking at some of the other files like the mms and other cab files, to see if they are newer, better, or more efficient than the standard device settings.
Personally, i aint gonna bother unless i find a need, i am sure anything in wm6 is going to be better than what imate are releasing.... (thanks to jasjamming and his premium wm 6 OS.... )
Thanks for the info simon. It is appreciated.
Is any of this required in WM6? Is it possible to just get the ExtRom by itself? I upgradded to the latest ROM from iMate/Telstra, but i want to upgrade to WM6 too...
just download ext rom review as reqd but install telstra cab and my places cab if u want foxtel. there are 3 others installed and didnt appear tause harm but cant see what they did or the benfits.
somebody needs to open the cabs and let us know wot they do.
i also installed the 3518 odd ball one, the one with AUS in it and pref-rat as its name imples prwference rates but dont really know wot these 3 did... but again caused no apparent harm.
Have installed those two cabs but cant get Foxtel to work.
I go to my place and click on the Foxtel icon, and I get the following error "Page cannot be displayed or downloaded because the connection was lost". I do have a data connection as my push mail & web browsing works perfectly. I'll have to try other cabs as when I click on Bigpond music icon on My Place, it comes up and says Non Telstra, so there is obviously something missing.
Any ideas anyone?
Dev
Do you have the telstra proxy turned on?
you should b able to access wap on my places without proxy. proxy reqd for most things though including foxtel.
can u browse the internet? is connection set to internet or work?
if that fails disconnect from internet and use the telstra proxy and view the rese coloured telstra garden...
No, I didnt have proxy enabled. Just turned it on and it doesnt make any difference as I still get the same error message. When I click on the Foxtel icon, it want to connect to Telstra.internet, not Telstra.Wap. Both my WAP & Internet connections are working perfectly.
I'm stumped!
Dev
Yea - I cant get fox or AFL vids to function either. Can browse to the wap sites, etc, and click on the TV stuff, it loads up the Windows Media player, says 'Failed to connect', then closes.
Im working with WM6 Black 2.0, with just the Telstra 5.2 cab and My places cab installed. Proxy was set to 'On' for my testing.
Would like to know if I need any other cabs from the Ext rom to get it to work.
i am having difficulties. still testing. but... in media streaming ... need to set the connections settings as to which to use may be secure wap or simply wap. not sure which yet.
i had the test working ok... cant get live to work yet. need to fiddle and ensure doesnt exceed downloads while testing...
Just wanted to know if any tmobile users in the uk have experienced any issues when trying to use t-zones for extra services?
I want to try out their mobile tv service and it says you must go through t-zones to set it up but it doesnt appear to be showing the option on a wm6 ameo and i remember the homepage looking different when i had the original t-mobile rom.
it doesn't appear in WM6 or PK rom 2 like it used to. Tmobile support told me the tzones browser has been removed but im not sure if they were just talking poo.
damn!
I wanted to try the sky sports mobile tv thing they offer!
do you think there is a way around this?
you can go directly through SKY website to set the deal up
because thats where the link takes you.
However the last time i looked pocket pcs were not
supported in the phone list . worth a check though cos you would think they would be
BAD NEWS just followed the link sent by sky to the sign up page .
Error your phone is not supported by SkyMobile TV
t-mobile are crap and so is sky for not supporting the ppc when the spec page at tmobile states that it does
https://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile-phones/phones/pay-monthly/t-mobile/ameo/spec/
They tell you to check for mobile tv in the getting started page of mobile tv/getting started at their web page.
I wouldnt worry too much mate. Get Orb on your PC and you can stream any tv prog via your home PC including P2P TV like Sopcast and TVU.
I can watch literally any match inc 3PM saturday KO's on my AMEO anywhere there is a HSDPA connection for FREE!
I would have liked to try this out but im not missing out
that looks like its the only solution. cheers bro!
presumably their servers detect what browser youre running. no doubt the latest internet explorer hasnt yet been added to the supported browsers or something. i recall this working on my Ameo pre-wm6, however T-Mobile cannot be entirely blamed for the advertised mobile tv support not working on updated devices as to date they have not released or authenticated wm6 on the Ameo.
the url for mobile tv is http://www.t-mobilefavourites.co.uk/en/mobiletv.jsp
it shows no options to select, however the same url in a pre wm6 browser (or a mobile phone browser) gives multiple choices.

can i not just use an older version of ie or opera?
Just tried this link - thanks.
Nothing in IE but options in Opera. But when I select a vid to watch I get 'Failed to find network' - probably because I use MoDaCos proxy rather than T-Mobs. Has anyone tried Opera with T-Mobs proxy?
Tried with an older version of opera 8.60u2 and experience the same problem and I have t-mobiles proxy settings of 149.254.201.132 on port 8080.
Im presuming your using opera from the add-on pack for Black Touch PK V2.0?
basically I think the problem is that these services are just not compatible with the AMEO which kinda sucks seeing as its the most advanced and expensive model in the T-Mobile range
but then we know what dicks they are when it comes to support. As the AMEO is a niche product
I.e. prob not many people have bought one, neither they or sky can be bothered to support it
has anybody got the original opera from the wm5 t-mob rom?
i thought it was exactly the same opera.
I'm using the final release of Opera 8.65 now but I'm fairly certain the problem is with the streaming App not opera or ie.
basically i dont think this works with any PPC i havent heard of anyone using one with this service.
The sky list of working phones does not include any PPcs.
maybe they think there is a way a PPC can circumvent paying for the service, due to the programmability of a windows based phone
People in other forums have got this working but it seems to work for some and noty others or even for some people at some times only!

what forums?
well, this one (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309900&highlight=mobiletv ) and over at MoDaco similar
no one seems to have got it working on an AMEO from what i have seen. TMobile suppport really sucks.
i think maybe it works on 3g but not HSDPA, which is really backward
Hi!
i bought an S740 today ^^
i have some questions tho
how do i turn of when i sent an sms, i get this: "masage sent"
witch webbrowser should i use? IE are slow and i cant goto wikipedia, it just sends me back to homescreen ect..
and what is ROM? is it program or the "Firmwire"?
and last:
how do i get into regedit?
sorry for my bad english, but i hope you understand ^^
Hi.
First of all congretulations with you're phone.
Here are the solutions for some of you're questions.
1 SMS = I Don't no sorry for that.
2 Webbrowser - I'm using skyfire it's wokring nice and fast.
3. Rom -Is the software using you're phone. You're phone run on Windows Mobile 6.1 and using a rom to to everything with the phone. Some people mod the rom so it's look nicer.
4. Reg editor -- Google some programs but Mobile Registery Editor is working fine over here..
Goog luck
Web browser: I recommend Opera Mini, or Opera Mobile if you can spring for it. Mini's free, it's a java applet that uses Opera's web servers to optimise web pages for display on your phone, and is the closest thing to a full web browser. Plus, it's snappy and doesn't suck as much b/w as IE. One caveat, though, it's all through proxy, so be aware that whatever you send using it can be seen by Opera. Small price to pay, I think, for very fast web browsing, and I default to IE if I need to do anything important or personal. Opera Mobile's the paid version that offers more functionality including tabbed browsing and such...never used it so I can't say.
There's also skyfire beta (same concept as Opera Mini, having a remote server do all the website-compression) but when I tried installing it on my phone, it refused to connect to the server and would get stuck on an infinite loop of connection attempts. Worse, it would hang upon uninstall, which I remedied only through a hard reset. Not fun.
I know Mozilla's working on an alpha of Firefox (aka fennec/mobile firefox) which you may want to try. It all depends on how adventurous you feel, I suppose.

I don't know how to turn it off, however I'm happy with the function.
I've had a few times that a SMS failed to send. Only because I got a warning in stead of confirmation made me aware of this.

To change registry, you need to:
1. Have a Registry Editor (Use PHM RegEdit, it's free)
2. Your phone must be software unlocked. If not, you can't change the registries.
Hi Chaps,
i know there is a way to fool opera into thinking my HD2 is another phone and let me watch vidoe clips on the internet but i don't know how.....help.....
also is it poss to get web site thumbnails on the internet "page" of mt HD2? All i get is a black and white planet icon......
i am running the LEON V3 wwe ROM, not sure what version of Opera
Is it not the site thet is excluding you from viewing?
Normally a site determines the client on the other side and shows it's content optimized for that client.
I believe what you need to do is let the other side (the site) believe you are using another browser.
eg setting your user/agent to
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1)

(Internet explorer 8 in this case.
