Any browser that supports pop up or tab? - HTC Excalibur

Here is my problem: the way my school does authentication is that, when I run my browser on the laptop, the 1st thing I see is the login page. After I correctly entered user ID and password, a pop up window indicates that I've been authenticated. I need to keep that pop up window in order to state connected. If I kill the window, I would no longer be authenticated. So, I tried using IE and Skyfire, I suspect that I cannot get authenticated because the browsers don't support pop up. Any suggestions? Thanks very much!

you would probably have to authenticate with ie then leave it as a running task...open another browser and use it to navigate/surf with. i have had to do that at some hotspots

i use opera mobile and it has multiple windows, i have used sites that work with popups which go to the next window. hope that helps

Opera Mobile works like a charm. Good program.

Thanks!

cant log in to facebook

hey, for some reason i cant log in to facebook using pocket IE. any ideas why? is there some other browser i can use that would work? if so, how do i get it? thanks
omar
I assume you mean the mobile version of it. It used to work. No idea why it stopped. I just go to the standard version now. PITA. Maybe the carrier?

Nope, its Internet Explorer. Bookmark this link and you should be good to go...
http://www.facebook.com/login.php
If that does not work. Go on your PC and login. Use the sub-link that is placed before facebook.com and replace the www above with it.

U can also clear ur history and temporary internet files. And make sure u get the security warning. Once u get it, ur good to go. At first i thought it was Gmail but it seems its a IE thing.
edit: It is a gmail thing. At least for me. Scroll to bottom and click "view in HTML" and u'll get security warning.
loggin into facebook is the easy part, but can you post on walls? I've had no luck doing that
The mobile version of the site is far better.
http://m.facebook.com
Mobile Facebook is great. I just got on it today because they recently did a redesign which is making it a pain to view in Pocket IE.
I also have problems logging into m.facebook.com but I usually get to the login screen and then use the link at the bottom of the page to do a standard login. The only thing that annoys me is that if I use my P990i instead I stay permanantly logged in on it, whereas my MDA Mail (UK Spec) keeps on logging me out grrr.
If you're having trouble getting the login at m.facebook.com to work, try this link instead:
http://m.facebook.com/login.php?http&next=http://m.facebook.com/home.php
Bookmark that, and you'll be good to go. It basically forces you to the HTML login page instead of the WAP login, but keeps you on the mobile interface to save data.

SMS but using PC though HTC HD

Is there any software I can use on Windows PC that use Active Sync to send the sms using my mobile. So I type the SMS on my PC but it go out trhough my HTC HD... Any idea?
I cant see why youd want to do that as messages are only 160 characters each so you wouldnt save time or anything...
but no, there is no such app.

Hi Zeshan,
please attached file
Br
Actually you can try Jeyo Mobile Companion. I use it myself and it seems to work well.
Hope it helps...
You can also try something that was posted in these very forums not long ago - PocketSMS. Not only can you do that but it synchronises your contacts and the like also.
Give it a search :thumbup:
try efficasoft
zeshan77, i fully recommend efficasoft as sep recommended. I use it every day, very nice and simple. Has an outlook type interface. And dont listen to ask, u can type ur texts a LOT quicker on a computer keyboard than u can with the touch screen.
thanks guys, ofcourse while working on computers all day, it obviously feel more easy to type the sms on pc and send using your mobile network operator. I will try the softwares recommended over here. Thanks alot.

Your obviously wrong about both of your answers: There are such apps (as listed by others before me) and ofcourse it makes sense to send them via PC if you have your phone docked - not to mention the increased typing speed on a real keyboard.
@zeshan: I use MyMobiler to access my HD and send SMS'. It allows you to completely control your HD from your PC. Check it out here: http://www.mymobiler.com/

MAMeingast, great application you have told us here
Old topic, but i need to make it work for me now.
I have Windows 7 x64, and none of the programs is working correctly.
- efficasoft install the cab but then the windows client gives me a timeout error.
- PocketSMS after installing the cab starts giving random errors about arithmatic overflows etc..
- smssender 0.1 doesn't work
- i don't want mymobiler to see the mobile screen to write the sms, i want a normal windows program that connects to the mobile
are there new solutions??

hey i Just managed to get it working on my W7 x64 PC.
efficasoft - try it with Windows Vista Compatiblity mode and run it as admin.
works like a charm. ( establish active sync connection before that)
works via bluetooth too

I am trying, but it doesn't work, it installs the client cab on the mobile (Step 1/4) but then blocks on "Initializing Mobile Express Connector (2/4)" by saying Timed out connecting to device.
i am running as administrator, and vista compatibility mode...
- Does it matter if i have too many sms's on the device?
- Does it matter what is the ActiveSync configured to synchronize with the device? i have all services disabled, i connect it with active sync only to copy files on the device, no outlook, no nothing....
I have the same issue.
I have over 12 thousands sms in my inbox, and it's time to archive them and empty my device.
Efficasoft works here, connects to device, starts downloading sms (when doing i see a number next to inbox or draft folder showing unread messages), but since i have too much sms it needs more time than the software gives, and then it says timeout.
It's not a timeout, is just it should wait more, but it doesn't.
Somebody have a solution?
I am using version 1.55.
In my ROM (ENERGY 16FEB and above) there is a problem when using MS messaging. the SMS won't send and only wait in the outbox.
will these apps (like efficasoft) will work with the Manila SMS?

Opera Question

Did a hard reset and going through the painful process of setting everything up. I did keep a .doc file with all my settings in it, and that has helped. One annoying problem though.
Opera is very strange. Mobile websites do not appear as they normally do. They come up very small, and I have to zoom and center them in to be able to read them. Anyone know a setting to ensure that Opera sees a mobile website as a mobile website?
Some are working fine. m.cnn.com is ok, others such as m.google.com show up incredibly small and do not fit the screen as they normall do.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
Settings>Display>Click "Mobile View"
You are a rock star. I could not figure that out at 1.00 am.
Thanks!
JG
On a related note, I cant seem to figure out how to make links in emails open up in opera. I changed the registry setting, and the manilla settings, but links in emails still open in IE.

Weird pop up box

I'm getting a weird pop up box with every click on xda-developers this morning.
The box pops up, saying I need to enter a user name and password for stage.myplaydirect.com
This happens for both firefox and IE.
Anyone else having this problem? Makes for a frustrating surfing experience. Only happens on the xda site. Reset computer, ran virus scan and came back clean.

Yes, me too using firefox. Really irritating and I hasten to add that I have not attempted to submit my real username and password incase it's a rather 'in your face' form of phishing.

I got the same problem on both firefox and IE, and only when browsing this forum. No other sites or forums cause this pop up and my virus checker came up empty as did a complete scan of my system.
That's why I'm pretty sure something from this site is generating it.
Good to know I'm not the only one. Google didn't shed any light on it either other than some sony myplaydirect program, which isn't installed on my computer and I had never heard of.
Same here stage.myplaydirect.com

Have same problem with my Nexus One, log on to "stage.myplaydirect.com" pops up every time i reach the XDA forum and only there.
But on my computer it does not???
I have it too! really annoying... is it a bug of xda?
i have same message on all pages on XDA using FF3.6 and IE8.
No viruses found by anti virus program
I think this was solved by Svetius, and was related to third party advert code.
FWIW, xda doesn't ask for your password in such a box, so don't type it into that box. And your XDA password never needs to be typed into a site other than xda-developers.com and iphone-developers.com (if you import your account there)

Anyway to force connect to my campus wifi?

I've been having trouble with my campus wifi.. Instead of just entering a password, I have to enter my campus email and password. After x ammount of time of being inactive it disconnects me and I have to go through the process again...
Is there a way I can force my phone to remember the login info for it? I haven't found anything that would enable it just yet. :\
Does it open browser that you are required to log in with as if your using hotel wifi? If it does, then try Google Chrome
Yes it does. I use Chrome, but it never gives me the "Do you want to save this password?" when I have that option enabled. :\

You can try a password manager like Roboform or Lastpass.
I dont know if your campus has it, but UMD (University of Maryland) had two options, one PUBLIC where you had to enter your email (userid) and password, and another network was secure. What i did is connected to the secure, and simply entered my Userid (the one that school gave you, the one u use to sign in to the system to register for classes) and the password. worked great for me
