user Agent string reg edit won't work on WM6.. JJ? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

I've used many other roms, including Vp3Gs' and lvsw, but the "BLACK" roms are the only ones that enable me to log into my Wells Fargo because all other go to the page where it says that the IE is not compatible... is there any reason this happens? is there any ways to fix this on other roms?.. thanks

google user agent string
then find out how to change it in pocket ie. its a reg hack

I second this. You change that string and you can do the same on any ROM.

Proxy setting
I have 'disabled' proxy setting, and this has allowed me to use IE.
Hope this helps!

there was/is a app out there that basicly hides the fact that you are using a phone to acces the web i think it was tweak lite??? this was from a while back in the wm2003 days so i am not sure it is still around.
i stopped using my phone for heavy web browsing a while back and lost the cab for it. seemed like all it was is a reg hack.
maybe you can get one of the fantastic cooks around here to slap one together.
or buy opera i hear that it also does the same thing.

Buy Opera
If you get the paid for version of Opera, you can change it to identify itself as the "Desktop Version". This works well for me on the UK's National Rail website, which insists on giving me the rubbish cut-down version.

Well I've tried the desktop association with Opera, but I still can't access my online account with Wellsfargo because it is not a supported browser... I tried the user agent hack from WM5, but it won't work with WM6.. anyone out there... JJ? care to enlighten?

Changing the PIE User Agent is not as simple as a regedit anymore. The later builds of WM5 and all WM6 builds have the User Agent hard coded into the browser.dll in the \Windows folder. The User Agent string in the registry is now only for OEM's / Telco's to add any specific customisations.
The only way to edit the full User Agent string is to hex edit the browser.dll. If you search across all the Hermes forums (not just Wm6) there are numerous posts covering the topic.
Cheers
EDIT: Thanks for the below update PAPPL, seems my info was a bit out of date

Download "Schaps Advanced Configuration 0.9" here at xda-devs.
There you can simply change the User Agent in a User Interface!
The new WM6 Builds do have a UserAgent registrykey again. It's called "CustomBase"
Schaps Tool replaces this string.
browser.dll doesn't need to be hexedited anymore for WM6!
Only WM5 Aku3.x+ needs hexediting!

Thanks.. PAPPL.. I'm using schaps rom and have just been living with the fact that I can't do it..
Would I just have to change where it says Mozilla/4.0 to MSIE 6.0?

sry, but I browsed around and that all that had to be done with the registry but it doesn't seem to work with the advanced config tool... maybe I need to change the whole string to something else?

So the "custombase" is a reg key? Where?

Jas - if you're still crusing by here... this would be a useful customisation in your Pimp toolset....

Thanks, I have been using a really old browser.dll to get CV to work guess I can stop doing that now.

Still doesn't work properly
I've done the registry change in CustomBase, but it still doesn't fix the problem
Useragentstring.com still reports my browser as Windows CE and I still get the WAP crap on some sites.
Using Opera set to "Desktop" fixes it, although Opera has other compatibility issues -and it's not compatible with my wallet.
WM6 is obviously still reading either the "Platform" setting in the WM5 key area, or it's doing something else equally creative.
I think the browser.dll hack is the only thing that is going to fix it, at this stage, anyway.
Anyone with any other ideas?

how to change the default internet browser?

hi to everyone,
thanks to this forum i started to use opera 8.5 on my qtek 9000 but infortunately every time i receive an email with a link it launches ( as i click on the link) PIE. is there a registry hack to modify the default inetrnet browser or am i condamned to copy the link and paste it on opera tu use it?
thanks for your help.
I know this answer is not up to the level of this forum...but maybe it is better than no answer:
I have installed Netfront 3.3 ( i definitely believe it is superior to Opera) and it allows to select NF as the default browser.
I had installed Opera and deinstalled it later, so I cannot check if it offers such an option to select it as default.
Andy.
Answer
To set any browser as the default one
open a registry editor
point to HKCR
and the extensions that you want the new browser to open:
htmlfile
http
https
ftp
url
xml
go to shell\open\command\default
For opera9 modify into:
"OperaL.exe" %1
it should be the same for other browsers
What the f**k!!
This is a 2 years old thread!!

Opera 9.5 gives you the chance to set as the default borwser and works like a charm! I have not tested Netfront.

Thread may be 2 years old, but it's useful to me. I am trying to kludge together a way to have Opera open up when I click on a shortcut in the Favorites folder, which I have attached to the start menu. This will allow me to store/sync my favorites through my work desktop IE, since I'm not permitted to install Opera on it. (BTW I'm actually using a Titan, but I figure the reg hack should be the same. And I have a used Uni in the mail, so I sort of belong here!)
Under HKCR->urlfile->shell->open->command, I have this not including the quotes: "operaL.exe %1"
This triggers Opera when I click on sopmething in my Favs folder, but it fails saying that the local file is not available. Am I missing something, or is this not possible? I somehow have Opera set to open when I click a link in an email, so I should be able to copy the syntax of that reg entry, but not sure where to look for it.
TIA
What do I change it to if I want it to Pocket IE? When I open the "Video Sites" for Flash Video Bundle, I get Opera Mobile 9.5... I can't access the videos straight from there. Can someone help me out?

WM6 & O2 WAP-Flat in Germany / Proxy-Support

Hey folks,
didn't find a thread regarding this problem:
I live in Germany and use the o2 WAP-Flat, that's a Web-Only internet-flatrate through a proxy-server. I configured it the right way, as I did on WM5 (AKU 3.5) and on my WM5 Smartphone. There everything works fine.
On WM6 however I get a strange result:
The connection works, as I can sync my data with exchange. So the connection and proxy settings are right. But when I try to surf using IE, it says "connecting" then "locating" and then "opening" but then nothing happens for about 60 seconds and then IE tells me: "The page you are looking for cannot be found due to unknown error 0x80072f78."
Any suggestions? WM5 works, WM6 not, not with Helmi 1.0, not with Helmi 1.1 and not with PDAVIET 2.0.6.
Its due to the browser identifing to the proxy.
Afaik does the o2 germany proxy accept the crossbow browser not yet.
Try different setting in registry.
I thought about something like that because that also seems to be the reason why opera doesn't work although I have put in the right proxy...
Now I have to find somewhere the Information about what is the right registry key and what I do have to export to use it again.
Do you have a little hint for me?
yeah you just need the WM5 useragent settings... er...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other
scroll down to "PIE"
-edit-
actually I think: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry better shows the default values.
Thanks a lot ivor.
OK, I'll try that, the keys are now stored in another location.
The new location is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\
The standard-values for Crossbow in Helmi v1.1 are:
# Default "Mozilla/4.0"
# Version "MSIE 6.0"
# Platform "Windows CE"
I'll try to change it one by one and post the results here...
Would be great to know what the standard-values for AKU 3.5 are. That one was the most recent version where it worked for me...
Edit: There's also another "Folder" named "Templates" with 2 Subfolders called "Same as Pocket PC" and "Same as Windows XP". I would like to know if Helmi added them or Microsoft or should I try to copy the settings over the original ones or is there a possibility to easily switch between them?
Edit 2:
Tried it with these settings but it doesn't work:
# Default "Mozilla/2.0"
# Version "MSIE 3.02"
# Platform "Windows CE"
Does anyone have the right settings from AKU 3.5? That would help to narrow the problem.
It´s not only the browser identify.
There is another parameter to adjust.
UA-Prof must read f.i.:
"http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/pu10-2.0.xml"
Correct browser identify is
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 6.8)"
Works for me with O2 proxy 82.113.100.4

That's the same as above but with a typo. A "." is missing ;-)
I've been looking for this hack for while, its been driving me mad too, under WM2006 Identify PIE as IE 6.0 hack doesn't work.
I've tried to manuly modified reg keys & also with tweak2k2 latest version but no joy.
Opera works fine but my favorite RSS feed app Newsbreak doesn't like it.
Any advise would be grate.
RE
Hassan
You got opera to work with the German WAP-Flatrate? I didn't get that one to work. Neither any other webbrowser than PIE.
The strange thing is, I hat to get my MDA Pro exchanged because the headset-port was broken, and now with the new one and the same ROM (helmi v1.1) the trick with UAProf doesn't work anymore. Am I so stupid or what? ;-)

WM6 d have issue with Internet link

I have tried both the LSVW and Black WM6 ROM and I always have this issue:
After I installed Opera 8 (update 2), whenever I click on a URL, say from email, WM6 complained that it can't open 'OperaLaunch'. This is even when I didnt select Opera as the default browser. This was not an issue in WM5.
Any ideas?
I solved this on my device by looking for operalaunch in the registry and deleting the 3 keys. I am very careless when it comes to deleting in the registry but have never had any major problems. My device is now able to open the url's in messaging.
I did that, but now Opera won't launch. Do you recall which key was that?

I actually removed OPERA and had to delete these keys manually since they were not removed in the uninstallation process. Then I was able to launch URL´S via messaging with IE.
I think that OPERA is not 100% WM6 friendly so therefore I removed it until they get it to work as it should work.
Change registry
I had the same problems after uninstalling Opera.
Error message: OperaLaunch cannot open , blabla
I had to change the following registrykeys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\wsp\Shell\Open\Command
String Value (Default) = iexplorer.exe %1
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\EFBROWSER"
String Value 0 = Pocket IE
String Value 1 = :MSPIE
Good Luck

IE upgrade

Dear All
I use Yahoo mail beta and I can not use it on WM5 as it has IE4. Could you tell me if WM6 has a higher version of IE or is there something else I can use?
Thanks
Alastair
Hmmm, I have to say yes, WM6 does have a higher build number than WM5 but I don't know how to confirm. I've read something I think about the user agent string and it says something like IE6 mobile...but this is really dredging it up from my memory so sorry if I'm wrong.
However, there are a couple of things you can try before you decide to go for a WM6 ROM (which I would do anyway ) and that is PIEPlus from www.reensoft.com - this allows you to change the user string so you can make the website think you are using a desktop browser
Then there Opera 8.65 which might also do the trick.
Either way, happy hunting
Smiffy.
I liked the WM5 PIE better because it had better java support. It'd be awesome to have the WM5 browser in WM6

Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta problem. Please help.

Alright I know its a beta, but please help. It runs fine, but when I click on the address bar to type, instead of using my default keyboard (TouchPal) it switchs to the regular wm6 keyboard (the one with small letters, need a stylus for it) and I have to change it back to TouchPal cause I can't type with the other keyboard! I am using wm6.1 on a sprint HTC touch. I installed Opera 9.5 to my storage card.
Is there a way to fix this? If so please tell me! Thanks. Btw I would've asked this on opera forums, but I'm not registered. So I need YOUR help!
-Donovan-
Download the Diamond Opera 1660 build, there are no SIP (Keyboard) issues with it.
Have the same issue too.
I suspect it is a Opera issue. It is in the beta still so bugs are expected.
Also notable is the fact that the Diamond builds aren't crippled in the way that the official beta is thus enabling you to use flash and active x. My own experience with the beta was also interupted by out of memory notifications every 10 seconds while the Diamond build did not do this.
Just for informational purposes I am running a
Dell Axim x51v
L07 WM6.1 ROM (i think)
A diamond build though it might be different than the one mentioned above.
Registry fix for keyboard issue
I had the same issue with Opera 9.5 beta 2 (including version still on Opera site, 10th March 09). Up comes the really small keyboard as soon as you go to enter text. I found a posting in the Opera Mobile forum, which has done the trick for me (I have the Touch Diamond and preference for "Full QWERTY" input method).
http://my.opera.com/operamobile/blog/show.dml/2398155 Posted as far back as last August!
You need a registry editor. The free PHM Registry Editor did the trick for me.
1. Open your registry editor.
2. Select "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT", which is one step down from the top of the tregistry heirarchy (might display as HKCR in different editor?).
3. Use the built-in "Find" function to find "IsSIPInputMethod". (PHM Registry Editor has the find function under "Tools".) It should find that entry under this class: {42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}.
4. Set the value of Default to 0.
5. Exit your registry editor.
It worked straight away. I've subsequently soft-rebooted my Touch Diamond and it's still working nicely - no more annoying small keyboard!
Many thanks to Dexterously for his entry in the Opera Mobile forum.
Hopefully this helps a few of you out there who have been going nuts!
Chris
