[Q] Internet Explorer - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I am running the latest Energy ROM (L [WWE|GER|FRA|ITA|NLD] |Apr 26| Energy™-.¸¸.·´¯ 6.5|21916 / 6.5.X|29020 * Sense 2021) on my HD2.
I'm having dramas trying to get a website which requires pop ups, to work.
It seems the site doesn't like Opera Mobile... I've tried installing version 10 also.
I try to open the site in Internet Explorer, however there doesn't appear to be any way to enable pop ups... and as much googling as i've done, I can't see it anywhere...
Has anyone got a solution to this please???

You could try uZard Web P. Maybe that browser is working according to your needs.

Hi Uli71
Thanks very much for the info! Tried that one and it does work although is extremely slow... do you know of any others?
I really appreciate the info!
Cheers

I'm afraid there are no others.
Browser for WM6.x.x are extremly rare.

No worries at all, thanks again for the input! Appreciate it!

Sluggish scrolling PIE?

In both Crystal 3 and Mysterious 1.0 scrolling in Internet explorer is very slow. I have not tried Gullum 9 beta so I cannot comment on that one.
The problem is apparent after a fresh flash, or hard reset before installing any application, and remains the same. It is so bad that PIE is almost unusable.
I am surprised that little has been mentioned about this issue.
I stumbled upon a thread on these forums for another device that mentions replacing the webview.dll in the windows folder with the one posted on the forum.
Well it works like magic, PIE becomes smooth and fast.
I would appreciate any feedback regarding this issue.
Well.
I always found PIE very slow. So, this should be the last site you go to using PIE
www.operamini.com
It's just a Java Applet, but it's the best browser ever for any mobile platform as far as I'm concerned! Give it a try. I use the beta version, just add /beta like this:
www.operamini.com/beta
this is an old and real issue mentioned on crystal's thread earlier and, unfortunetly,it's regarded as something trivial.
to my knowledge the sluggish scrolling of pie, other apps like mdict also affected, have existed since roms built on core 18125.
of course certain roms, evo8 for instance, had taken the issue seriously that not only pie but also all apps affected by the symptom have been working like a charm.
i'm glad this REAL issue is singled out.
hopefully someone might help. thanks a lot!
@shylock
do you mind to upload the version of webview.dll u recommend here? thank you in advance!

Sorry there, didn't mean to cause offense. I just don't think PIE is a well thought out browser for Prophet. Also, I didn't know this was related to other apps as well. Which other Apps have you had trouble with?

don't worry^^ your experience about pie is true. i myself browse the internet with opera 8.65 in liue of pie as well.
as to how many apps are affected, i'm not sure but one of the most popular dictionaries in the world--Mdict is certainly confirmed.
download Mdict for free >> http://www.octopus-studio.com/download.en.htm
@shylock
thank you very much for the attached! it works!
sincerely wish rom masters choose this file for the later roms^^"

Do a soft reset and replace it as soon as the phone is booted up
I used Resco Explorer to copy and paste. It gives an error warning about possible data corruption, but I tell it to go ahead and soft reset.
can't find the webview.dll anywhere in my windows folder? I am running Crystal V3 with no problems, seems very stable. However, would appreciete any help on this issue - shoudl I just paste into the folder and see how it goes?
thanks for the tip, i was asking in a french forum, and nothing !
IE works like a charm now ....
Can I try it on a trinity ? same problem with IE .....
Thanks Shylock, i'm on V7 FrenchTouch by Xvx, and it works like a charm for me too

[Q] Facebook places

Hi guys, done a search so don't think this has been asked before. Has anyone managed to get facebook places working reliably on the hd2? From my initial hunting around I've been trying various html5 enabled browsers with intermittent success. Any advice appreciated.

I'm sure I've read they have to support HTML5, so anybody know which ones do. HTML5 is very new and AFAIK there is no browser for WM with full HTML5 support, there may be some betas with partial support, they would need the geolocation part of HTML5 to be implemented. I'm about to try Iris now
maybe this'll help some of you (PM by Xenton; thanks!):
I couldn't post this as I'm new here and it has links so here ya go:
Right been at this most of the day now, the most promising course of action would be to google gears which adds geolocation functions to browsers. It only works with very specific browsers though, one being Opera Mobile 9.51 (Presto build 2.1.0+) it's available via Opera's FTP site at ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/winmobile/951b2 download "opera_v9.5beta2_gears.cab" and install launch the browser then goto gears.google.com and click install. It will prompt you to reboot your phone. Now relaunch the browser and navigate to touch.facebook.com try to use places, you should get a warning that your location information is being accessed via gears, click okay and you should be good to go.
I got as far as a suggested list of places for my location but nothing on the screen would respond.

It's been a while since I was trying to get this to working and I gave up, so this information may not be up to date but there were no apps that worked with places, the touch.facebook website did but needed a browser with HTML 5 support, I tried many browsers, finally a combination of browser and addon that should of worked but didn't. I think I'm correct in saying android and iPhone have browsers that work nicely wptg the Facebook touch site but WinMo has neither a browse nor an app that works wptg places. I did give up on this a while bin now, and would love for someone to tell me I'm wrong...
......EDIT: It works!!! I installed 4.1 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6392459&postcount=2 (this is the page the download app button on their facebook page links to) and it prompted me to update to the latest version and then, places was working, just like that amazing, I'm well pleased. Also had a play with the latest better, kept freezing and crashing but it looks very promising, an awesome app!
yeah i was using it for places but now when i go to places it locks up
It's still working for me, try uninstalling and they reinstalling, that might fix it, it is a beta still and is not rock solid stability wise yet.

[Q] how do I email a website link?

Sorry in advance, but I bought a gtab for the wife, and although I'm an engineer with many years of experience with PC hw & sw, this android stuff is all new, and there's no user's manual that I can find, and I'm too old for this sh#t!
So anyway, every few days she comes up with something she easily does on the PC but can't do on the gtab running tnt lite.
Today's is that she wants to email a link to the website she's on to herself or others without copy and pasting to an email client, and I can't see, or find, any to do it.
Help, please. And anyone want to buy a slightly used gtab!?!? j/k; she does like it - but I don't need the aggravation!
Thanks for any help,
Robb

I don't know if this works on the TnT browser (I don't think it uses the stock Android Browser).
But on stock android browser, press 'menu', 'more', 'share page'
Thanks, but menu button seems to be dead while using the browser.
Lol I was trying to do the same thing earlier today and can't figure it out either My HTC evo all u do is hold down the website link and it will pop up share page or copy page URL. I have tried everything no luck
You could just load another browser??
Opera, firefox, dolphin, Xscope.
They all have their advantages.
Firefox mobile has a 'share page' option; thanks! 1 down, a few more to go. I do see there are printing apps I'll need to check out.

You can do it on Dolphin too if you want your browser to support flash.

[Q] Nexus 7 IE Emulator Help. (I hate IE...)

So, for work I have to use IE for some sites. Being able to use my tablet for this would be AMAZING. Beyond AMAZING. I have tried Opera, Chrome, Firefox and Dolphin. I get super close with a Custom User Agent someone else offered up on here about a year ago. But the top of the website where the links are doesn't work properly. It thinks its one whole banner and won't let me click the individual links like it does in IE. If anyone can give me direction I would be pleased beyond belief. If it's just a matter of finding the right UA, I'll run through every one I find. I just don't know, and I'm hoping someone else can give me some guidance. Thanks a bunch in advance.

I have noticed this same inactivity with the menus on certain sites. Specifically the truewow.org site I was not able to activate the menus as I have been able to with other sites. I hold down on the menu wanted and multi-touch with my second finger on the same hand as the drop menu appears: sometimes speed is a factor with doing this. But, in general I have known this issue to be a major oversite from the internet explorer team. Unfortunately it is not just you. I also tried accessing the same site with the mobile version and desktop version settings with no avail. Now if you really want to you can use UCBrowser and use the multitouch method to access those types of drop down menus. I have not been able to consistently use internet explorer for these menus without getting severely angry. I am not a fan of the UC Browser but its all we have right now until IE gets this fixed.
