Are there problems with the XDA developers home page ? - Off-topic

Hello,
Since several days I've been reading on the forums on how to upgrade my Qtek9090.
Now I want to get busy on it, but none of the links on the home page under the "software and tools" section work for me: they open a blank page, indicating "done" at the left bottom corner.
I've tried on different PC's and at different locations (home/work), but I can't eg. open the pages for ROMkitchen...
Is this a known issue or is it just me ;o)
Thanks,
Mario

Complete Noob Looking for Assistance

Hi everyone,
Im new to the forums. I recently purchased an ATT Tilt about 3 weeks ago, and I am trying to customize some of the settings.
New problem: I am having trouble with the HTC Home Plugin now. It works fine except for the scroll at the bottom. Whenever I scroll down, it pops back up to the top. Any suggestions?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have already noticed how nice most of the members are.
Thanks!
Daniel
I suggest that your spend a few hours reading through the WIKIs and forums here. The Hermes is very similar to the Tilt in most respects, so take a gander at that WIKI too. You'll learn a lot. I still do after a year or so here.
CAB files are what you use to install programs on WM. They are synonomous to a setup.exe file in windows.
Ok great...I figured out how to install both of the programs, but I am having trouble with the HTC Home Plugin now. It works fine except for the scroll at the bottom. Whenever I scroll down, it pops back up to the top. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I saw something about that here in this forum recently, but don't remember exactly what it was. Do a search for it. (try the google version of the search... it's a lot better than the default search here.)
Tried searching...couldnt find it...I checked the WIKI too...theres not much info for the Tilt in there or my problem.

Weather Update

Hi Folks,
Firstly the standard disclaimer: "Apologies to all but I have searched existing threads (and RTFM) and can't find a definitive answer to this noob-type question"
So here's why I'm feeling stupid. I can't seem to find an option to stop the weather updating except when connected to a PC, short of going into settings and manually ticking the upper box whenever I plug in the USB and unticking afterwards!
Data costs a lot on my tarriff but I lik ethe weather, even if it only updates via AS.
Grateful for any advcie as always folks.
Adam.
Same problem here, it's one of the main reasons why I don't use Touchflo. Everytime I just click on the weather page an error dialog appears (can't connect... blabla). Very annoying!
it is not only a noob question, but the answer is so easy that you should be ashamed of yourself and spent some time just looking at your phone.
ever heard of a thing called menu?
it is on the lower right in the weather tab. press it, a menu comes up, choose settings and you are done.
or...... go to the store an get a nokia.

Changing TouchFLO 'Launch Browser' Default Page?

Hey guys,
This is my first post, which could be a disaster if this is all down to my stupidity, but I swear I've done a lot of searching and come up with nothing. That out of the way...
When I go to the TouchFLO internet page on my XDA Ignito the default site if you hit 'launch browser' is m.yahoo.com, is there any way to change this at all? I'd much prefer it to launch with about:blank for responsiveness, and so my GPRS doesn't auto-connect when I want to do something with Opera.
Thanks in advance for any help, I'm really glad there's a community like this for users of HTC devices. I've already used this forum as a lurker for a lot of information (including upgrading my old Hermes to Winmobile 6), you guys are superb.
Sincerely,
Ulfhedjinn.
Launch Opera.
Tap the Options icon in the bottom right hand corner of the screen (it's a black box with horizontal lines in it with a similar smaller white box partially in top of it) and this'll pop up a list of options.
Select the Settings option.
Tap the Start Page bar and it'll drop down various options to do with the default page.
Select the 'User-defined' option and enter about:blank in the text box.
I had a bit of trouble getting Opera to 'remember' my change when I was doing exactly that so if this doesn't take effect then do a soft reset (after making sure everything is still as you want it in Opera) to get the option to 'stick'.
Hello Medulla,
Thanks a lot for the advice, I appreciate it. Unfortunately I'd already tried setting the homepage in Opera to about:blank or Google UK, and got them to stick in the browser (which can be a pain at times as you mentioned), but the internet page in TouchFLO still says "Launch Browser" with "m.yahoo.com" under it.
I tried setting my homepage and then doing a soft reset, just to see if it would work, but unfortunately I still get m.yahoo.com as my homepage unless I manually start Opera from programs or by pressing "Browser" at the bottom of the internet menu instead of "Launch Browser" at the top.
I was wondering if the m.yahoo.com default was tied in to the registry or firmware.
Thanks again for the reply.
Using file manager..
Go to:
\Application Data\Manila\
rename the file InternetPortal-en-AU.xml to something else (or delete).
Alternatively, you could change the home URL inside that xml file, that should fix your problem. It's a read only file, you would need to use something like total-commander to modify the attribute. G luck ..
Hello techdave,
You, sir, are my bloody hero. Renaming that file worked a treat.
I can't thank you enough.
very useful tip. thx a lot
Yes, that was driving me crazy too! Thanks for this tip
My first post on the forum after using many of the excellent tips etc..
This is a great tip, its been bugging me since getting my diamond, I've managed to change the default page in the xml file to Google UK, also got rid of the MySpace and You Tube links by modifying the same file (using Total Commander).
I would also like to my put my own links and icons (similar to the MySpace and You Tube ones) on the main Opera Touch Flo screen, I've changed the link but have no idea how to change the image, the xml file refers to .qtc files for the images.
What are .qtc files and how can I create them to put my own icons in?
EDIT - found the answers after some deep searching
also used this tip to get rid of something which has been bugging me since I first got the phone, thanks
I'd been searching everywhere for this. Thanks so much!

[Q] how to turn an exact page by FBreader?

Hi, everyone here
My question is very simple, how to turn an exact page by FBreader? I found it very difficult to turn to an exact page by only slide the page -scroll-bar with fingers, since I m reading a book with over 1000 pages.
I installed a Windows version FBreader, and found the pager box on the toolbar. But where is the same box on my mobile devices, or how to make it appear?

[Q] screen view issues

I am frustrated with several sites I visit, including Samsungs own site. The page comes up and it is larger than my screen and I can't scroll left or right, only up and down. It is very aggravating. Is there a setting that I can change to allow me to navigate these pages properly? Thanks
