How do i save images while browsing??? - HTC Excalibur

Hi
Have tried every which way to save images while browsing but have failed
can someone guide me as in how can i save them?
thaks

IE mobile cant do it...you have to use another browser, Opera Mini is the preffered Windows Mobile browser anyways, just goto, operamini.com from your phone, and itll download for ya

opera mobile is just as good.
the only thing is you have to pay for opera mobile and opera mini is free.

"regular" yahoo! rather than yahoo! mobile?

i upgraded to the 6.1 ROM today. it kicks ass!! thanks everyone. i have one question. is there a setting so that when i'm using the internet i go to the "regular" website rather than the mobile version?
when using wm6.0, i could log into my yahoo account and it was the same as the site on my desktop pc. now, after installing wm6.1, i get directed to yahoo! mobile which doesn't have all the features of the pc version. specifically, i can't check my realtime fantasy baseball stats for the day.
do i need to change something in the connection setting for IE?
thanks.

I don't use IE that much, so I can't help you there. But I can recommend using Opera Mini (free), Opera Mobile (not free) or signing up for the Skyfire Beta (free). Also do a search for Deepfish on this forum, get the cab and try that, it may work.
If im not mistaken....Deepfish needs an activation code. That code is provided by Microsoft.
we have deepfish on this forum?
and the same thing happens in opera mini on some sites...ive managed to trick it inot skippin the mobile mail layout but other segments are in wap format.
i just downloaded opera mobile, and opera mini...opera mobile won't open on my dash...i click the icon and it flashes the opera mobile screen for like 1/10th of a second then goes back to my homescreen.
opera mini gives me the same issue...it opens yahoo! mobile.
i'm thinking something in my connection setup is letting yahoo! know that im accessing via a mobile. can i change something in my connection setting to trick yahoo! into thinking i'm accessing from a pc?
thanks again.

If I'm not mistaken, I've downloaded Deepfish from xda before and used it(shhhh!), but it wasn't on my blackjack, that was on my Wizard. I prefer opera mini.
no not your phone, its yahoo
Actually on Opera Mobile you can, if you go into menu->tools->General->scroll to "identify as" switch to desktop computer.
Then hed over to www.yahoo.com
You're usually sent to the mobile version of the site. I wish I can remember the actual link to the desktop page but I can't. I had it on my favorites before I flashed my phone. Sry dude. There is a page you can go to though.

i re-installed opera mobile and it seems to work this time.
thanks...
however, if anyone knows if i need to change my proxy settings or whatever (noob alert) so IE will go to "regular" yahoo!, please let me know. i don't want to have to pay for opera mobile after the 30day trial expires.
I would recommend using Opera Mini. This program kicks but and its really fast.

yes, but opera mini sends me to yahoo! mobile...not the "full" yahoo! site. that's the problem...yahoo! mobile doesn't have all the functions the full version has. opera mobile allows me access to the regular yahoo, but when my trial expires, i'm back to square one. i guess i'll just pony up the $20 or whatever to register with opera.

I believe its yahoo and your device itself. When a website, ie, yahoo, has a mobile version as well, it checks to see what kind of device you are using and directly sends you to the correct one. I believe by default and even on cooked roms that the PIE is set to identify itself as Pocket Internet Explorer to work in conjuction with mobile website version but you can just change that by you using either Schaps configuration or Tweak2k. Search for it on here.
That's a damn good question. I'd be interested in finding out how to "mask" as a desktop computer if possible as well.
I don't have a solution for the yahoo home page but you can bookmark the main fantasy page and it will have the full desktop version using Opera Mini.
http://sports.yahoo.com/fantasy or
fantasysports.yahoo.com both work for me.

Oh nice, are you guys going to add this to your remake rom?
So is pie6 similiar to the Deepfish web browser? As I remember, that was a pretty cool browser but I have lost my install for it.

opera mini is free but opera mobile u gotta buy or try the free trial.... i use skyfire
i use opera mini for normal browsing and skyfire for flash and if i cant get a site to work on opera mini. i find opera mini real fast
For Excalibur the best option is Opera mini
But here you can find all Opera Mobile versions:

Think 8.65 was the last release of Opera Mobile for SP?
Oh the question best Opera? can't beat having both,
Opera Mini: fast as &*@&, low on data.
Opera Mobile: very similar to PIE but a hell of alot more secure, tabbed browsing
Skyfire: only real plus is flash & lets ask how often do you realy use it for flash, rendering of pages slow, screams beta all the way.
PIE: Delete the shortcut so you never accidentaly yap it
I use:
- Opera Mobile 8.65
- UCWEB probably the best server side browser out there, faster then Opera with way more options and the next build will allow flash so it makes the slow and clumsy skyfire useless.
- Opera Mini is nice but UCWEB while still in Beta works better, has more features and is simply the better choice.
- Skyfire is ok, but way to slow and buggy, its always going to be a beta product
Has anyone tried the new opera mobile 9.7. Does that work with smartphones?
But more specific the Excalibur?
Opera Mobile 9.7 doesn't work with SP, 8.65 is the last version that will work unfortunately.
I do like Opera Mobile but wish they would keep improving the version for SP, they seem to be ignoring us, even if it's just some minor improvements - like hot keys to zoom in and out instead of having to go through a menu.
On a day to day basis I use Opera mini, or if I need access to an Intranet then I use Opera mobile.
Skyfires crashed on me multiple times, opera has done be amazingly well as fasr as browsin as a normal browser and not mobile, but it is good for both. Ive been impressed while using it with social networks.
wow just tried ucweb, while it doesnt display web pages as well as opera mini, the speed is either the same or a bit faster. what impressed by the most is how little it uses ram. only 1 to 2 mb! very impressive. and tabbed windows!
gonna have to try UCWEB!

Internet tab issue/Mobile view issue

So i wanted to be able to watch flash videos in my browser so i installed a version of opera that i had for my TP. The install wetn bad and corrupted my original opera version so now i have a problem.
I uninstalled the opera that i put on and now my browser button on my internet tab does nothing. Ive since installed IE6, the new opera mobile, and the new opera mini but the shortcuts in my internet tab do nothing. I found the link to install the version of opera that came with my phone but there are like 30 different ones listed and im unsure which one to use.
Also, all of my browsers are showing pages in mobile view even though the option for mobile view isnt selected. I hate mobile view and skyfire is the only browser not doing this. But i dont want to use sky fire as my regular browser. Alittle help?
Bump......
You may want to just do a hard reset since all those browser installs/uninstalls have messed up things so bad. I know this isn't very helpful but a clean start just may be the way to go...

Anyone manage to sync Opera bookmarks?

I have Opera Mobile 9.7 and Opera Mini 5 installed, and I can't work out how to sync bookmarks on either of them. The instructions on the Opera site refer to sync options in both browsers which simply don't exist.
Does anyone know how on earth you can sync Opera Mobile/Mini bookmarks??
Not aware of a sync version for 9.7 Mobile other than using Opera Link on thier website. Mini should have it built into the settings.
The PC does have it though.
I've read the Opera Link page (and have a MyOpera account), but the instructions for syncing both Opera Mobile and OperaMini don't make any sense - i.e. they refer to "synchronise" options in both Opera Mobile and Opera Mini which don't actually exist.
???
Ok, here is what I know. I fell in love w/ Opera solely on the fact that you can sync bookmarks b/t however many PCs you log into. The promise of the same experience on the phone kind of falls short..
First off, in the regular mobile Opera, 9.X, even 10 beta and official, Opera Link has NEVER worked for me. Now, when I put Opera Mini on my shadow a while ago, I noticed that something created a folder in my bookmarks on my PC called 'Opera Mini' for some reason this folder is green, unlike the others. I have found that only the bookmarks inside this folder are what sink up and only in Opera Mini..hope this helps..
Thanks for your reply. I've noticed that I also have an "Opera Mini" folder in the Opera Link bookmarks page (but it isn't green). It contains a list of my bookmarks, but how can I get them to sync to Opera Mini 5 on my phone? ActiveSync doesn't sync them, and there's no Sync menu option in Opera Mini 5.
Considering this is such a big selling point for the Opera Browser family I'm surprised they've got it so badly wrong
itm, all I know is that when you go to settings in Mini 5, there is the link option, you just enter your log information and begins updating. I would let it hang in the browser for 3 mins, not letting ur phone sleep or shut the screen off. then to be safe, exit, soft reset, then check it out.
remember, the point of my reply was that all bookmarks you want on your phone must be in that Opera Mini folder on your PC and you must be properly logged into Opera Sync on the PC as well, just check everything, verify you got the green sync icon in the bottom left hand corner, maybe get Opera 10.50 (PC) to be safe..

I have Opera Mobile 10 Beta and the sync has worked fine with portable Opera (running off USB memory). All I remember doing is enabling Opera Link and the next time I opened Opera Mobile, the bookmarks synced. I don't believe I had to do anything on my mobile.
