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...

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

You have made a typo, it has to be "http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/pu10-2.0.xml".

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? ;-)

Foxtel TV - WM6 (Telstra Australia)

Great work to all the chefs out there - love your work !
Just a quick comment on various WM6 ROMS. I had an Original Imate JasJam (HTC) with the original Telstra OS (WM5) loaded and was told when I got the device I wouldnt be able to watch the Foxtel service on it as it was pending a software update. Anyway a quick google search got me the Philips player which solved my problem within a day of owning the device.
Since then, I have experimented with various WM6 ROM's in Conjuction with CWW AUS Operators CAB have found that;
LVSW 8/4 - Foxtel Works Fine
Black 2.0 - No Foxtel
Dutty WM6 Premium - No Foxtel
Custel 1.1 - No Foxtel
I also tried last weeks Telstra native release and yes it worked fine, but again was WM5.
In all cases, I tried using the Telstra proxy (which is essential as that's how they identify you as a Telstra customer).
Keen to here from any other Telstra customers using Foxtel on WM6.
Thanks all for the great work !

No Problems on Black 2.0.
Just need to go Streaming Media options and set the Connect via to Telstra.Internet instead of Internet.
Then you can use it as the video player.

Update - Foxtel Mobile (Telstra Australia)
Tried Black 2.5 and changed from telstra.wap to telstra.internet with and without proxy - no success ...
Trying LVSW 22/4 and Dutty 22/4 next ...

Thats most likely it. I am using the Telstra V5.2 cab from the new extended rom

user Agent string reg edit won't work on WM6.. JJ?

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....

WM5 (max. AKU2.3): [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent] Default="Your Useragent String"
WM6: [HKLM\Security\Internet Explorer\User Agent] Custombase="Your Useragent String"

Your string is shown in IE/PIE (User Agent:...)

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?

Sky Mobile TV won't recognise Vario 2 - any experience?

I've been trying to sign up for Sky Mobile TV through t-mob for my Vario 2 but when I get to the sign up page it says that my phone is not compatible. And as we know, the Vario 2 is a super phone so what is going wrong? Does anyone else on T Mob or with a Vario 2 have any words of wisdom to share or even better, got it working?
As always, cheers muchly.
D-Jac

It only works if you have an official T-Mobile rom on the phone.

If this is the case then in theory you probably need to use Schaps Adv config to get the IE User agent string from the working T-Mobile rom, then apply to yours - thats assuming the t-mobile rom doesnt also contain codecs etc for Sky mobile tv function.
First step would be to get hold of a t-mobile rom, flash and test....

I noticed a minor niggle whilst trying to view Mobile TV on T-Mobile UK.
According to There tech teams the device was sending the incorrect User Agent string.
I found by using a Vario II with its original shiped ROM had the following settings that differed in the BlackX Registry
Black X Registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Post Platform]
"PPC"=""
MDA Vario II Registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Post Platform]
"PPC; MDA Vario/2.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1"=""
Once i ammended the setting using Schap's Advanced configeration tool Version 0.9b
Hope this is of use to others.

I works on my Vario II with the T-Mobile WM6 upgrade, but it does not work on my Tytn II with T-Mobile internet settings. T-Mobile tech support say it must be a T-Mobile rom for it to work.
Ralf

I am using t-mobile wm6 at the moment, but previously I have used mainly the black roms. All I had to so was email t-mobile and they emailed me the link for sky tv.. sorry I did not keep the email, but you can watch it on other roms.... you just can't access it through web n walk on your browser

You can get the link by going to www.sky.com/mobiletv but when you run it on the phone if it is not a t-mobile rom it says the phone is not supported.
