Hi there! As mentioned in the Wiki, I changed the SearchURL of Livesearch to:
http://www.google.com/m/search?output=xhtml&source=mobileproducts&mrestrict=xhtml&q= (and tried others as well)
This works then the default browser is Internet Explorer. When my default browser is Opera, it doesn't work and it only opens the Google searchpage without searchresults.
I notice that Internet Explorer opens before the GPRS connection bubble comes up, and Opera opens AFTER that. Could this have anything to do with it? Do you know of a way to resolve this problem?
Thanks!
Regards,
DM

how can you prevent netfront from going to mobile versions of certain sites like myspace,yahoo,google, etc? I can't find any settings for changing the string of redirection.kaisertweak doesnt seem to be the answer either.
Try entering another User-Agent string in the Browser Settings.
Good luck!
Mr B
There is a setting under BROWSER or VIEW for NORMAL. I also use Netfront and I get normal viewing.
i fixed that but what really annoys me is that if i try opening a link to someone's email outlook fails to pop up which opera(not mini) and pie does just fine
So I've tried a ton of different ways to get Google Mail (Gmail) and Google Maps to work on this phone. It seems like all the links to download the actual app are dead (I get 404's). Also the Ajax Gmail app (gmail.com) doesn't ever load. On my BJII (running Opera) it loaded fine just like on my Windows desktop PC. And I was able to download a nice mobile Google Maps application, which I can't find for this phone either.
What am I doing wrong? Can someone please point me to the best solution for these two apps?
Thanks so much XDA geniuses! (I'm new to HTC)
I had a problem downloading google maps so I ended up searching for the .cab file and found it somewhere in XDA-Dev

When I tried downloading Google Maps in Opera it downloaded some Java version of it. Try using Internet Explorer to download google maps. www.google.com/gmm
the WM cab is here: http://www.google.com/gmm/GoogleMaps.CAB
from: http://www.google.com/mobile/default/maps.html

I'll be damned. I get a 404 not found when I hit the link to the cab file directly from Opera, and if I hit it in firefox on my desktop PC, it downloads. WTF?

Sounds like the AT&T proxy again. Type "opera:config" into your Opera address bar and go to the "Proxy" section. Uncheck "Use HTTP" and "USE HTTPS". Google sites (and a whole bunch of others) will work properly. You may have to re-enable the proxy for some internal AT&T sites.
Why can't AT&T use a proxy that doesn't make complete hash of the HTML it's proxying for?

Hi guys,
I'm having the same problem, and I tried this solution and it didn't fix my issue.
What I see is that when I go to Gmail.com and log in, I see the progress bar that shows the account is loading, but then the screen will go blank and the page will stop loading. It works over WiFi, but not over MEdiaNet. I'm using Opera 9.5 build 15613
Thanks!
Has anyone seen this before? I recently performed a hard reset on my tilt and now the most recent Opera Mobile browser will only open once in between soft resets. It opens fine the first time, but if I close it and try to open it again I get the text "Opera Browser" next to the start menu icon, but no browser loads. After a soft reset it will start up (once).
Any ideas? Opera worked fine before the hard reset.
I'm running WM6.1, out of the box, bloatware removed, nothing fancy.
I have the same problem.
I either kill the opera9.exe process, or
In Opera select 'exit' from the main menu and 'Ok' (instead of minimize)
Not ideal, but better than rebooting your phone.

I had the same problem ... Solution : disable/enable the Wifi, and then I can launch Opera again ... I tried many many versions of Opera, they are all very buggy but it is the best browser for now. Skyfire is very good also but too slow when moving the web pages...

Did this work for you even if you weren't browsing via WiFi? I generally use my data connection for browsing
hello, i have a small problem, after trying various registry changes etc for changing the default browser to Opera 9.5 (i have the first firmware release of x1 at moment, will change it to r3 when i have some time) i succeded to change the default browser when i click links around using XperiaTweak2...
I use my x1 a LOT with the gmail java application, is way more confortable that any other way for using my gmail account and i use it as only email, well, the problem is that even if the default browser is set to opera and works if i click links around it does not work when i click a link in the Java app for Gmail... i have tryed to use gmail from opera but with this java app is way faster and more confortable...
any idea on how i can manage to force this damn thing to open the links i click in the Gmail Java app with Opera and not with IE?
I attach here the java installer since for the x1 installing from website don't work for some reasons...
I am glad that someone thought to post this. I have been fighting this issue with my java gmail app on windows mobile for nearly a year. I had to go back to version 1.5.0.1193 instead of using the updated 2.0.6 version because in the newer version when I click on a link it locks up my entire phone and I have to do a soft reset to get the phone back to normal. In version 1.5.0.1193 I get this message immediately after I click on a link "http://www.google.com/gwt/n?u=http%3A%2F%www.ebay.com" with a question asking me if I want to open this URL with a yes or no option. In this case I was just clicking on a link to take me to ebay's main website page. If I click "Yes" then IE Mobile opens (BLAH!) and it inserts "http://www.google.com/gwt/n?u=http%3A%2F%www.ebay.com" in the address bar in IE Mobile and all I get is the general "The page cannot be found" error message. There are no options under "Settings" to change the default browser or how it inserts the links in the address bar. So, I have been puzzled about this for a really long time and I thought I was the only one that was bothered by this. If there are any good programmers out there that understand Java please help us with this.
just install R3A, i found out that it makes Opera the default browser for everything
EDIT: You may also find the new beta Opera Browser 9.7 useful as it has a "Set Opera as default browser" option
I have the tilt with AT&T. I just installed M2D. Everything works except the internet browser.When I scroll over to internet and try to launch the browser nothing happens. The internet will work if I launch the browser either through the start menu or the soft keys. Any ideas ? ( sky fire is my default browser )
Is Opera installed? Because I've only ever been able to use Opera from M2D.

No I don't have Opera installed. I only have internet explorer and skyfire
Stylez, thanks for the feedback. I went to the internet tab and it shows " all bookmarks " in the lower left corner and " browser " in the lower right corner, but when I try to click on either one it doesn't do anything. I'm guessing that the " browser " is supposed to bring up a menu to choose the exe that you want to use ? I tried to uninstall M2D and reinstall it and still same issue
Thanks Stylez. My bad. I didn't have M2DC installed. You was on the money . I found the setting and got the internet tab working. Big Props.!! thanks again
Otherwise try copying skyfire.exe to windows folder and rename it to operal.exe.
