Anchorfree Hotspot Shield VPN access

Anchorfree gives on their website the procedure to access their VPN with an iphone.
Why can i not use these settings on my PPC ?
Does anyone have an idea ?
Thanks.
PS: Don't tell me that an iphone can do things that a Windows mobile device can't

Ok, I see.
Just to get your attention ...
HotSpot Shield is a vpn that allows people in China, like me, to connect to youtube, facebook, an many other websites.
This is why i'm really looking for some help here
ThanX

You will have to change your default user agent, for opera you can do it straight from the browser.
For internet explorer i think you can do it in advanced configuration tool. there have been alot of threads covering how to do this, just use search, also to help you here is the default iphone user agent.
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A543 Safari/419.3

i would also like to find out ,,, tried to set it up but wasnt successful for me....
anyone mind to help ?

[Q] Change Mobile IE User Agent

Hi, does anyone know how to change WP7's IE user agent?
I've tried modifying registry [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent] with no luck at all, www.whatsmyuseragent.com still showing original Mobile IE7 user agent string.
Thanks a bunch.

hey guys, i've just tested the web browser with iPhone 4.1 Mobile Safari user agent string "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_1 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/532.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Mobile/8B117 Safari/6531.22.7"
The result is unacceptable in most occasions, so... guess we'll just have to wait for IE9 to come out

Please tell us how you changed this! I've been looking for a way to do it for some time.

It involves lots of needy greedy programming stuff. I basically create a browser with the built-in WebBrowser control and set the user-agent to iPhone 4.1 mobile safari user-agent.
I've attached the source code. But anyway MobileIE7 just isn't powerful enough to render those elements, e.g. it can't properly render Google to the formatting like iPhone safari.

user agent switcher
Folks, just to bring closure to this thread and for the benefit of future Bing/Google searches, here is the marketplace-approved user agent switcher:
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/user-agent-switcher/65783cf3-4a4f-4a89-a315-7998fe1ced6e
On your WP7 phone, just type in "user agent switcher" into marketplace search. Using the Apple Ipad user-agent string seems to work really well with a lot of sites on WP7.8.

^^ Great app user agent switcher, and I am starting to use it, it is just what I am looking for.
But, it would be nice to integrate it in IE or better UC browser, that will be so great...
And offcourse text reflow in those web browsers!

[Q] Can we change the User Agent string?

Hi,
what do you think, is there any solution to change the browser's user agent string to gain acces to (for exmaple) iPhone optimized webpages? Or is it hard-coded into the browser?

I saw several times UA String somewhere... maybe in *.ini files.
Best Regards
Edit:
Found in ffs in several Widgets *.js

Hi today I found a file which has one line:
"nUser-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_1_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/528.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile / 7D11 Safari/528.16 \ r \ n "
Maybe we can change this user agent. File is located in: "\ SystemFS \ User \ Br \ RmConfig \ iphone.ini" (strange name)
Also in this file there is still a pretty interesting line: "ACCEPT_EXT_DOWNLOAD =" I think it defines extensions for download.
Sorry for my English

Yes the iphone.ini comes from the WebKit, it is no longer a secret that samsung uses some Apple relevated things for bada.
But this ini is part of the ported WebKit, for they that don't knows what WebKit is:
It is a HTML-Rendering-Engine, Browsers like Dolfin, Dolphin, Safari are all based on it.
By the way the Bada WebKit from 1.2 is terrible. But iphone sites working just I know, you only need to find the correct link of the page, some sites have different features for iphone and android wich goes through javascript, this sites checks if their web client connects to the site, if not they block scrolling and things like that. This is a blocking feature for other clients and browsers. The creators don't wont that the content can be used without their app.
The best sample of one of this sites is imo.im this is one of this sites where only a certified app can scroll on it, and so on.
While developing Voluntas i have seen some such sites, maybe it could be possible to add such checks in the application so that everyone can use such sites.
Manipulating the Ugent string would be a good way for that, but for me it doesn't worked on even this site written below.

Yeah, even I thought that was extensions for download. I added all the MIME/ Internet media type extensions for different formats. I flashed the the FFS file which had the modified iphone.ini file. But it didn't work.

Hi,
did anyone have success already in editing the useragent-string? Currently I'm living in Japan and I am not able to use my Wave-S8500 with my messaging-flat.
The reason is, that the provider Softbank checks the User-Agent String when sending MMS and if the phone was sold by them, the connection is blocked . I found several tutorials to fit the string with android and valid ones for softbank, but I found no way to do that with bada...
I really would like to use my Wave again instead of the crappy phone I got from softbank...
Best regards,
Chris

Ok, yesterday I stumbled on the answer in another forum (Thanks to mylove90 from sammobile-forum).
You can change the User Agent String as following:
-First enter *#33284*# and change the Debug-Level to Middle
-After reboot, enter *#7092463*#, then go to Module Settings>Browser>UAgent and just change the string (it would be a good idea to note the orginial one first )
-If wanted, enter *#33284*# and change the Debug-Level to Low again
My Wave is working now with SoftBank, after changing the User Agent String to one from a SoftBank Phone

[Q] Changeing phone id

Hi,
first of all i'm sorry about my english.
My carrier knows that i'm useing HTC desire and because they don't sell this phone they don't provide service that i'm entitled to have according to my service plan.
they do sell samsung galaxy s and they give their customers that own the phone the same service that i need.
so, i think how can i change the id of the phone so my carrier will see SGS instead of the htc desire.
i've succeeded to manipulate their software with dolphin HD when i inserted a custom user agent with this parameters:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.2.1; iw-il; GT-I9000 Build/FROYO) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1
i found this line and information in forum which i read.
is it possible to change the id of the device?
and if it does how can i change it?
thanks in advance,
Ariel.

Proabably not.

Problem with Cool3D Sense 3.5 and all Sense 3.5 ROMS

Hey all, just a small problem I've encountered with all sense 3.5 ROM ranging from Seb15's to Cool3D sense 3.5.
Does anyone know how disable mobile view in the browser?
I've tried unticking the box in the settings but it still does not disable the mobile view as all the websites I go on, it automatically puts me into mobile view!
Does anyone know how to actually disable it?
Cheers
Dave

this may be silly but have you tried restarting after you unticked mobile view

Hi Dave,
That setting works for me on sebastiaan Runnymede fine. Just tried it on www diy com for example.

Yep, I've restarted when unticked. It won't move to desktop view. Such websites I have tried is Google, BBC, engadget, guardian and YouTube. I've tried "about:debug" to get the UA String option. When I change that to desktop I still can't get desktop mode to work!

Hi Dave,
This won't help you fix your problem I expect , but just sharing how it works for me.
Google. I have to click the Mobile or Classic link at the bottom of the page to get it to switch. It ignores the setting in the browser.
Endgadget and Guardian always gives me the mobile version, regardless of setting.
youtube and BBC gives me mobile or desktop depending on what I've ticked. I don't have to even restart my browser to switch I just change the setting and then type www youtube com in the address bar and it loads the "right" version.
Maybe it's to do with how the web site detects the browser, rather than a problem with Sense per se?

All pre-sense 3.5 totally disabled the mobile setting. Sense 2.1 and 3.0 browsers when unticked let me access the web in desktop mode. I had to do no faffing around. I think I'll have to let the devs know because even when the UA string is changed to desktop it still presents me with mobile view.

I've done a bit of playing with my daily driver ROM, while looking at the User Agent String on www mybrowserinfo com.
On Seb15 Runny AIO ROM (Android 2.3.5, Sense 3.5) in mobile view :-
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.3.5; en-gb; HTC_Desire_A8181 Build/GRJ90) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1
but in Desktop view it shows :-
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_3; HTC Desire; en-gb) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.16
Don't need to restart the phone or the browser
On ICS in mobile view
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.0.1; en-gb; Full Android on Bravo Build/GRI40) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30
in desktop view
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/534.24 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/11.0.696.34 Safari/534.24
On Stock Froyo (Android 2.2 with Sense) in mobile view
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.2; en-gb; HTC Desire Build/FRF91) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/533.1
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_7; en-us) AppleWebKit/530.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/530.17
So the setting is definitely having a difference to how the phone presents itself to the web-site (which is also proved by how www diy com reacts to the setting for me). Maybe some web-sites are looking at different bits of info in the UA string to others, to determine which page to display?

Been looking into it, tried loads of UA strings in the browser settings when I typed in about:debug in the address bar.
Changed my UA string so many times, yet it still comes up the same as stock UA :/ This looks like a ROM problem!
