Hi, is there a way to force Internet Explorer to show normal internet sites, instead of automatically forwarding to a mobile version? for example, www.google.com goes to www.google.com/m
I presume this is something to do with Internet Explorer, rather than the network.
Cheers
It's to do with the site. Your browser forwards information about itself to the site, some sites have code to detect this and offer a mobile version.
The way to stop it is to make sure the browser doesn't forward this information, something that's likely very hard to do with pocket IE (if it's possible at all).
mmm... yeh i did wonder if it worked like that... oh well!
opera is able to identity itself as a desktop browser, try that :_)
ok cool. Thanks
Is it the Opera Mini (Java) ??
-edit- THIS PROGRAM IS AMAZING!
Hi,
No, he is talking abot the Opera v.8.65 for PPC where you can set the Browser to send another browser identification to the requested site. But you can use Sktools as well to change the identification of the internet explorer.

Ok thanks
I used the registry hack to do that but I wouldn't recommend you to use Pocket IE for viewing the desktop versions. Use Opera, Minimo (awfully slow!) or Picsel browser. Picsel Browser is the best but can't be downloaded really 100% legally since it is owned by Samsung and is licensed for Samsung phones. If you don't care then you'll have a very nice 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.
Cheers
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?

Is Opera availeble for the htc s620???
Dave,
This thread will likely help.
http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=168204
Cheers!
Never mind. I did a hard reset. See zip file for default registry settings and a text file noting Opera browser registry changes if you choose to use Opera as your default browser. Opera does not change the registry settings back when you uninstall the software.
The text file of reg changes came from a post on Opera's forum.

just do a google search for opera mini.
I cant find it in the menu settings for opera mini. Maybe the option you mentioned was for opera mobile. I was looking for the Java based Opera Mini version as this version translates the web pages into smaller packages to reduce the size of pages and also make browsing faster. Which brings me to another question. Is there a way to launch Java Programs instantly without always going through the Java Midlet application?

good call...I was looking at the other version. I don't think it can be done since it is inside the java app. would be nice though then I could put it in the start menu.

Yup, because I have just created that thead (the Smartphone General forum is brand new)
In the General forum, I've posted the original version some 5-6 months ago.
I enjoyed using Opera Mini for some pages that render bad with PIE. However, recently, I have been unable to load any pages with the T-Zones proxy. Anyone experiencing the same problems?
Opera Mini 4
So it just got released...It's pretty nice, it has a built in mouse that you operate with your cursor, looks nice..Check it out

Yeah, a must have on your device, the cursor reminds me of Microsoft's Deepfish and sphere!
I never got to try deepfish, when I got the link it wasn't working, but this is nice. Although I was on myspace trying to respond to a message and it just kind of stopped responding..but besides that it's great
Here is a link for anyone that cares to check it out:
http://www.operamini.com/
Personally speaking, Opera mini plays better than Deepfish. For example, I have never logged in this forum when I used Deepfish. On the other hand, Opera mini doen't have this problem.
Deepfish was 'alpha' -- Opera Mini is release -- not much room for comparison... Deepfish was great, in that you could view the whole page and zoom in on a particular area, I just installed Opera Mini 4, but it doesn't do that -- at least I can't find a setting to make it do that, just shows the page regular size...

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.

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.

First why don't you do a search, it would help you a lot.
IE is slow because WM Smartphones can't close running programs directly (they are only minimised), you have to go to task manager and to close a running program. Now when you start IE it will eat like 5Mb of your memory not to mention media player (10Mb). In onther words your device will freeze instantly. To avoid this you need a program called "Oxios CloseApps" a freeware wich will help a lot as it will stop all running programs and retrive lost memory. There is a cab containing that program here at the forum, but to find it you need to do a search so you can develop searching skills.
As for the other problem that you could not install a program read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432946 - apllication unlock
Cheers
its not the problem..
first,thanks for the advise.
but the slow is not from the ram memory.
its from the open webs
do you know a browser ?
due to many problems with OPERA I want do change de default setting for internet from OPERA to IE. Does any guy knows how to do this on TP2 ???
Rather than mess with registry settings, why not just remove the Internet tab and add a link to IE in the start menu?
Also, Pocket IE is such a piece of crap. I think most would agree. What problems do you have with Opera that can be solved by using IE?

Most links dont open with Opera. IE will work fine - specially links from RSS Hub open with Opera and mostly dont work. So I copy the URL to IE and it will work fine ... (bad workaround)
