Hi all,
waiting linux for Alpine, I have problem with Internet Explorer surfing Web.
Every time I use IE, I can surf for few minutes then the device freezes and I must soft reset it. I'm using IE with Spb Pocket Plus features (more windows at same time).
Did anyone have any suggestions? Thanks
try use Minimo browser by Mozilla......maybe this will help you.....
Also, try the Opera browser for mobile devices (opera.com). I found that when I used the features added by SPB Pocket Plus to PIE, most notably stuff like the ability to open multiple windows, it would lock up my device after a while, especially if I closed windows with Switch (the hfrmobile.com Switch)... I stopped using SPB Pocket Plus for other reasons (I had problems with my ringtones, they would stutter on playback whenever someone rang) and eventually hard reset, so I don't have it on my system now at all... A shame, because I liked some of the extra features.
However, I would try removing the extensions added to PIE by SPB Pocket Plus, and if you're opening more than one window using that particular feature, avoid using it. It just seems to kill PIE.

I'd like but I can't run Minimo 0.13 on my device. It doesn't start.
and Opera Mini...?
Does the freeze also occur if using PIE without Spb Pocket Plus?
Does the freeze occur on every url or on a special url?
Alpine Freeze with IE
I have no problem with IE and PocketPlus, although I don't use the PocketPlus IE mods. it sounds like a memory issue, have you checked how much memory you are using?
DAz
How many windows have you opened with the Spb PocketPlus option? It seems like opened too many windows!

Hi,
I have a Kaiser which keeps locking up whenever I try to use IE. Very rarely will it actually load a complte page and allow youto click on a link. More often that not, the device hangs whilst trying to load a page, the little circle in the bottom right stops 'spinning', and everything freezes. The soft keys onscreen and even the hard keys stop working and you have to do a soft reset.
Is anyone else having this problem?
I had this on mine... wasn't sure what was causing it so did a hard reset and re-installed apps and its fine now. What apps/tweaks you got? Maybe there is something common that caused it?
I still have the problem on mine. I am using Opera now don't want to re-install all the apps.
My installed apps:
htc audio home plug
sktools
resco explorer
TT 6.032
iGo
Live Search
Google Maps
Opera
Palringo
BT Audio Toggle
Real One
Skype
Spb Backup
TCPMP
Sprite Backup
WM6 Remote Desktop
Yahoo Go 2.0
I have the following installed:
TomTom Navigator 6
SBP GPRS Monitor
OneNote Mobile
Fizz Traveller

Skype
HTC X- Button
I did have fit4Cat Hermes Tweaker installed, but as I was not using any of it I have just uninstalled it and tried IE and this time it is working.
Not sure ifthis really made the difference as Fit4Cat wasn't even running when I was having the problems. Weird.
I had the same issue but I had the patch installed that used the SD card for the IE cache. I removed that and did a warm reset.
I haven't had IE lock up on me in a day now on either Edge or 3g
That seems to have solved it!
The removal of Fit4Cat Hermes Tweaker was not the problem, it was a previous registry hack, that had worked on the Hermes, that I used to store the Cache on the Storage Card to save space.
I edited the registry to put the cache back on the device and IE loaded pages without locking up and it was much quicker too.
Thanks for this one.
Hmm I have that problem too ... and yes, I moved the cache to the card. I think that is the root cause.
Anyway, I use Opera Mini now which is way much faster. IE is just no contest against Opera Mini in terms of speed !

Same here, I changed the chache lokation to SD using Memmaid and IE was locking up randomly. But after reverting the settings back to original (use device memory) I didn't have a single hang.
There is something about me that doesn't like using Internet Explorer. On my phone (Sony Ericsson K850i) I use the Opera Mini 4 Beta browser and love the way that it renders sites and you can zoom in and out etc...
I installed Opera Mobile on my HTC hoping that it would be exactly the same as mini but I was very disappointed Not only does it not have the text for the soft keys but it doesn't accept touch screen inputs for pressing links and text boxes. Also you don't have the zoom in/out function so you have to see a fully rendered screen or and "everything on one column" rendering that cripples the content.
Is there a decent browser for Windows Mobile? What I am looking for is something that works exactly like Opera Mini but with more compatibility with flash etc...
Any ideas?
At the least I would like to be able to install Opera mini but it comes as a .jad file (Java Midlet?). Is there any way of installing these as my Kaiser doesn't know what to do with the file atm.
Thanks for any help
Oliver
There must be someone out there who uses a browser that they're happy with?
Is there a version of Opera that works with the touch screen?
Thanks
You don't have Java on your phone? Opera mini is free and it is a Java Midlet so you could try and see how you like it without spending any money. There is another free browser that I have called Minimo.
LINK to direct CAB download-- http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/
It isint the perfect browser either but it does alot of what Opera does and lets you set it with preferences too. Give it a shot and see what you think. Don't like it just remove. I will look on my phone to see if I can extract the Java .exe for you.
I use netfront 3.3 its got better functions than PIE and its back and forward functions using your D-pad is very usefull. as for opera if you want it to scroll like opera mini just enable touch and grab on opera v8.65. it will select links as opera mini does it just wont zoom in like opera mini
Ceck out the articles at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Web Browsing, browsers
picsel browseris my fav. look around enough and you'll find it
Thanks for the replies!
I'll definitely have a look round for the browsers you mentioned.
I would much appreciate it if you could provide a Java app to enable Java on my phone too
BTW, I'm using Schap's latest ROM if that helps.
Im a bit confused here about the op. Am I the only person that has a copy of Opera Mobile that does everything that the op said it doesn,t do? Which version of Opera mobile did you try? I use O.M on my kaiser and everything you said it doesnt do, mine does.. Ive got touchscreen interactivity aswell as touch scrolling, i can zoom in and out, 3 can resize the screen format to desk top,just fit and one column. Im runing Opera mobile 8.65 for Windows Mobile Pocket PC. By anychance did you accidentily download the smartphone version?
As above - op must have downloaded opera instead of opera-mini...
I'm posting using o-m and must say it's one of the best if not best browser for the wm platform
WOW!
Just installed Picsel and I love it.
The GUI is a bit dodgy but that's cos it's designed for the clie but I love everything else.
Thanks
(Bit of an effort to find a download though)
Ah, I downloaded the Smartphone version. That's prob why I don't have the touch screen thingy.
BTW Subliminal, there is a difference between Opera Mini and Opera Mobile. Opera Mini is what I have on my Sony Ericsson k850i and I would have thought that Opera Mobile worked similarly. It does all the same things but not as smoothly as Opera Mini.
Opera Mini is for Java based phone apps. Opera Mobile is for WM platform.
Opera Mobile has more functions (I think?)
but one main difference is that Opera Mini is free whereas opera mobile isn't.
A direct shortcut can be created to launch opera mini without the need to load the java midlet first. A quick hex edit can skip the connection permissions and another quick tinker can allow direct links from emails to open in opera mini. Sounds more work than it is.
Ive just been checking out the Netfront v3.4 technical preview
https://www.access.co.jp/english/nfppc/agree_34.html
its alot better than v3.3 and has some very nice features. its got a similar zoom feature to opera mini4 its a scroll and zoom. plus the visual bookmark is nice also. I cant wait for it to go to retail I will be getting it. opera9 will be ready soon also but ive not seen a preview of it yet. from what ive read though its also going to be alot better than v8.65 and incorperate feature of mini opera4 like the page zooming
I've just downloaded opera mini 4 and have installed it onto my phone.
I have one querey.......
when I was instaling it and when I first used it, it say
this program is connecting to .......port 1080...... requires airtime..... you maybe chaged.....
does this mean my phone isn't using the wifi connection when im running opera mini 4?

I'm also using netfront 3.4 since a little time. Very, very nice !
but... I can't use it with a wifi or USB connection (error : TCP connect...) ... Answer acces.co about that but no technical support on this version ;-(

It must be something to do with your settings, Ive just tried it with usb and wifi and both connect fine. Infact it connects quicker with usb than it did with v3.3.

Mmmm... don't reach the solution ;-( , even after modifying the browser settings. Always the same message...
"Cannot load page. Check that you are properly connected to the network. Type : TCP connect"
dolbe, can you give me your settings for this great browser ?
MS DeepFish is the best browser I've seen yet. It's in Beta for now though and has limitations. It's similar to Iphone's Safari - which is great.
Opera Mobile 9 will support zooming, just like Opera Mini. I asked Opera for a release date, but they won't say anything. It's supposed to be released "soon".
Can anyone point me to other frontents for Windows Mobile like for example
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshel
PointUI Home was another one that I tried on my previous WinMob phone, it's very responsive and smooth but it's not the most attractive front end in the world. Also, not being able to see the clock and upcoming appointments at the same time got right on my tits. To be honest I've yet to come across a front end with a Today style screen that shows everything the default WinMob one does (i.e. date/time, tasks, appointments and count of unread emails/messages) which annoys the hell out of me, I don't understand how these various companies have spent time writing front ends intended to replace WinMob yet can't give us a Today screen that even has the functionality of the default one. Is it really that hard to do?
thanks, i tried and installes 1.51a of it, but nothing happens, still standard winmob frontend... how must i intall it properly?

If it's installed properly you should now have an entry for it in your Programs list, you can just launch it from there like any other application and I think it then remains resident.
On a related note I found this Wizbar app that seems to allow the customisation of WinMob though I haven't tried this one out. There are some themes for it here.
I'm very happy with SPB software though obviously it's quite expensive to buy. I think it has a free trial.
SPB pocket plus is a genius bit of software because it allows you to quickly select from up to 7 today screens each containing various today plugins and shortcuts. You get up to 6 tabs plus your regular today screen (when the tabs are set to auto-hide).
Other today plugins I'm using are Pocket Player, DevState 1.5 (as a task manager) and SPB Time, Diary, Weather and Mobile Suite (another great program). (Not cheap )
Here are some screens - the photo is a holiday shot from Turkey:
there is also vito winterface which is iphone clone...quite nice but nothing new. i still with manila
I've asked AT&T for help with this, but they just say, format the rom and start over.
My issue is, throughout the day, at seemingly random times. Alarm5 will play for no apparent reason. There is nothing on the screen. It just plays. I've used SKTools to clean up phantom alarms, to no avail.
Ideally, I'd want to figure out what app is causing this to happen. Because it doesn't start until I install all my apps.
Apps I have installed
SKTools
SPB Mobileshell
SPB Weather2
SPB Time
SPB Phone Suite
youtubeplay
PocketTwitter
Skybook
GooSync
3dtracking
Googlemaps
GPS Test
Kaiser Notification Setup
Live Search
Opera 9.5
Palringo
PowerSMS
SPB Backup
WMWifiRouter
Anyone have any ideas either what app might be causing this or how I can locate what is causing it?
It keeps waking me up at night. I tried to just delete Alarm5.wav but it seems to be protected.

I have had issues with SPB Phone Suite, MobileShell, and Kaiser Notification Setup (if that is the app that changes the blinking light colors and patterns). I cannot remember which one of the the three I listed would randomly disable my sound throughout the day.
Try installing one app at a time use it for a few hours and then install the next. It is unlikely those apps are must haves because there are so many other options.
found it. Kaiser notifications has a feature to alert you of unread txt messages... grr... damn..
I downloaded Opera mobile 9.51. Whenever I exit opera, it opens Opera Widgets (sort of a menu). What the heck is that and how do I disable it. I deleted wgtman.exe from Program Files/Opera Mobile Beta but it still keep opening that widget window. Very annoying. I do not want widget. Please help.
I'd like an answer to this as well, I did a lot of searching but found nothing.
I hate Opera Widgets. I don't believe there is a way to get rid of them other than to change Opera versions. I used this custom build for a long time, and I really like it. It supports 10 tabs instead of 3, and gets pages quite quickly. Except for an annoying bug where the screen rotates 90 degrees which occurs if you tap a taskbar icon (like the sound icon), it works really well.
Dave
yea thats a bug. if you close opera using the x button or the task manager you get opera widgets and then it wont close but if u go to exit on the opera menu, you wont have that problem.
The normal builds also support 10 tabs, just change the max. number of tabs in opera:config (enter opera:config as the URL). Alas, the normal builds also still have the annoying rotation bug as well as the bug where I cannot enter umlauts on the hardware keyboard.
From my experience, I've never found an Opera build that had any tab-related setting in Opera:Config. The reason NFSFan's build is so special is because tab settings are normally hard coded into Opera, so you couldn't have more than usually 3 tabs, at least every version I've used.
Dave
I'm not sure about older versions, but the 9.5 betas currently available at http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/ certainly support 10 tabs. http://my.opera.com/haavard/blog/20...-5-how-to-increase-the-maximum-number-of-tabs also has this info.
Oh, maybe that's why. The one I'm using is cooked into my ROM, and the ones I've used before it were all from other devices like the Diamond, Omina, etc.
