you can use a browser called Opera for that from ww.opera.com ; there's a Java applet (free i think) that's called Opera Mini 2.0 from
from http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/operamini/campaign/
the one i use is Opera 8.60 for Windows Mobile 5.0 from http://www.opera.com/download/mobil... Pocket PC phones running Windows Mobile 5.0. . it has ALL the features of a regular browser: Java, Secure connections, file downloads, tabs, etc.. There's a 30-day evaluation version if you want to test it first.
Hope it helps!

im having problem banking in the usa with my kaiser . the bank won't send any info to my device. For sercure reasons . anyone have a clue on what i can do ?
I believe you need to pass your pocket ie into a normal ie.
TO do that there are instructions in the registry edit sticky in upgrading kaiser
*edit just checked, its not there.
Got this from xda wiki
Change Pocket IE to IE Version 5.5 (For Secured Sites)
* Go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent\ key.
* Set the default value to "Mozilla/4.0" (Default is "Mozilla/2.0").
* Set the "Version" value to "MSIE 5.5" (Default is "MSIE 3.02").
* Set the "Platform" value to "Windows NT 5.0" (Default is "Windows CE").
This will only work on some secure sites that check version number rather than perform a check for support of secured transactions.
This registry hack will make Pocket Internet Explorer identify itself as IE 5.5 on Windows 2000. However it will prevent web sites that provide Pocket PC specific content to be able to know you're actually using a Pocket PC.
And btw, becareful doing it over wifi. People can view what you send by intercepting the signal, assuming if they know how
Sorry but this will not work as in windows mobile 6 the ID is written into the module itself

Hi, can you expand on the above? is it all possible to change the browser user agent?
It's wierd, I've got the HTC TyTN II and my mate has just got the MDA Vario III and we're both on T-mobile UK. HE can access our bank, (rbsdigital.com) and I can't! Both using Pocket IE. I'll need to get him to check the browser user agent on his, see what it's reporting.
Thanks,

I'm having the same issue. I also downloaded Opera Mobile, and I'm getting the same issue. I had no problem with my AT&T 8525 (Hermes).
there is a browser.dll somewhere on the forum that nulls the agent string written in the dll, so the agentstring is taken from the registry and not the dll,
I use it to fake my Kaiser as a N95 so 3 video's stream correctly over planet3
Edit: I got it from Modaco http://www.modaco.com/Vodafone-Live-Settings-t259142.html

Please give more details. Most people are assuming it is a "wrong useragent" issue, but if you are using the wap.cingular APN (MEdia Net instead of My ISP with AT&T) instead if isp.cingular, the way wap.cingular round-robins your source IP randomly will randomly log you out of websites which are extra paranoid about session hijacking as soon as your IP changes. Use isp.cingular ("My ISP" network settings instead of "MEdia Net") instead.
I'm using the HTC Kaiser, and I'm using isp.cingular. Still the same issue.

i have never been able to do this from any of my WM devices with either WM5 or WM6 ... its like the phone doesnt support the security or something... ived tried it with 3 or 4 different banks with several devices both on the cellular data system and via wifi
This is very strange. I am able to log into Bank of America's mobile website with my 8525 running WM6 but I can't get to the same website with my Tilt. It can't be a Windows Mobile thing it has to be a regisrty setting. I was able to log in to the BofA main website using opera mini but the pages take a long time to render.
I've read a few articles that indicate that the browser.dll file on some phones is now being modified by the carriers to override the registry settings for User Agent and only present a fixed value. You might try pulling browser.dll out of a TyTN II ROM (which does use the registry value) and overwriting the one that's in your \Windows directory with it.

I am using the HTC TYTN II Rom on my Tilt. Still no joy.

The Vodafone CAB linked from Modaco does not fix Wells Fargo's site for me.
Opera Mobile works fine for Bank of America website on ATT Tilt w/ HTC ROM. Opera Mobile has a setting that I changed when it did not initially work- change Opera to identify your device as a desktop instead of PDA.
Hope this works,
Steve
No such luck with banking.wellsfargo.com
You can get the mobile portal though at www.wf.com, but it is vastly inferior.

I tried this cab from Modaco as well, still doesn't work. I've also tried the cab which installs the alternate browser.dll and changes the user agent string in the registry but no joy. Total dead end!!
Please, if there are any UK Kaiser users out there - can you try to access https://rbsdigital.com and see if you get the browser unsupported message? So frustrating as my mates's T-mob Vario III can access it no problem!!
Cheers,

Also SOL with BofA on the Tilt... Hope this gets resolved soon!
There is something about me that doesn't like using Internet Explorer. On my phone (Sony Ericsson K850i) I use the Opera Mini 4 Beta browser and love the way that it renders sites and you can zoom in and out etc...
I installed Opera Mobile on my HTC hoping that it would be exactly the same as mini but I was very disappointed Not only does it not have the text for the soft keys but it doesn't accept touch screen inputs for pressing links and text boxes. Also you don't have the zoom in/out function so you have to see a fully rendered screen or and "everything on one column" rendering that cripples the content.
Is there a decent browser for Windows Mobile? What I am looking for is something that works exactly like Opera Mini but with more compatibility with flash etc...
Any ideas?
At the least I would like to be able to install Opera mini but it comes as a .jad file (Java Midlet?). Is there any way of installing these as my Kaiser doesn't know what to do with the file atm.
Thanks for any help
Oliver
There must be someone out there who uses a browser that they're happy with?
Is there a version of Opera that works with the touch screen?
Thanks
You don't have Java on your phone? Opera mini is free and it is a Java Midlet so you could try and see how you like it without spending any money. There is another free browser that I have called Minimo.
LINK to direct CAB download-- http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/
It isint the perfect browser either but it does alot of what Opera does and lets you set it with preferences too. Give it a shot and see what you think. Don't like it just remove. I will look on my phone to see if I can extract the Java .exe for you.
I use netfront 3.3 its got better functions than PIE and its back and forward functions using your D-pad is very usefull. as for opera if you want it to scroll like opera mini just enable touch and grab on opera v8.65. it will select links as opera mini does it just wont zoom in like opera mini
Ceck out the articles at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Web Browsing, browsers
picsel browseris my fav. look around enough and you'll find it
Thanks for the replies!
I'll definitely have a look round for the browsers you mentioned.
I would much appreciate it if you could provide a Java app to enable Java on my phone too
BTW, I'm using Schap's latest ROM if that helps.
Im a bit confused here about the op. Am I the only person that has a copy of Opera Mobile that does everything that the op said it doesn,t do? Which version of Opera mobile did you try? I use O.M on my kaiser and everything you said it doesnt do, mine does.. Ive got touchscreen interactivity aswell as touch scrolling, i can zoom in and out, 3 can resize the screen format to desk top,just fit and one column. Im runing Opera mobile 8.65 for Windows Mobile Pocket PC. By anychance did you accidentily download the smartphone version?
As above - op must have downloaded opera instead of opera-mini...
I'm posting using o-m and must say it's one of the best if not best browser for the wm platform
WOW!
Just installed Picsel and I love it.
The GUI is a bit dodgy but that's cos it's designed for the clie but I love everything else.
Thanks
(Bit of an effort to find a download though)
Ah, I downloaded the Smartphone version. That's prob why I don't have the touch screen thingy.
BTW Subliminal, there is a difference between Opera Mini and Opera Mobile. Opera Mini is what I have on my Sony Ericsson k850i and I would have thought that Opera Mobile worked similarly. It does all the same things but not as smoothly as Opera Mini.
Opera Mini is for Java based phone apps. Opera Mobile is for WM platform.
Opera Mobile has more functions (I think?)
but one main difference is that Opera Mini is free whereas opera mobile isn't.
A direct shortcut can be created to launch opera mini without the need to load the java midlet first. A quick hex edit can skip the connection permissions and another quick tinker can allow direct links from emails to open in opera mini. Sounds more work than it is.
Ive just been checking out the Netfront v3.4 technical preview
https://www.access.co.jp/english/nfppc/agree_34.html
its alot better than v3.3 and has some very nice features. its got a similar zoom feature to opera mini4 its a scroll and zoom. plus the visual bookmark is nice also. I cant wait for it to go to retail I will be getting it. opera9 will be ready soon also but ive not seen a preview of it yet. from what ive read though its also going to be alot better than v8.65 and incorperate feature of mini opera4 like the page zooming
I've just downloaded opera mini 4 and have installed it onto my phone.
I have one querey.......
when I was instaling it and when I first used it, it say
this program is connecting to .......port 1080...... requires airtime..... you maybe chaged.....
does this mean my phone isn't using the wifi connection when im running opera mini 4?
picsel browser???

I'm also using netfront 3.4 since a little time. Very, very nice !
but... I can't use it with a wifi or USB connection (error : TCP connect...) ... Answer acces.co about that but no technical support on this version ;-(

It must be something to do with your settings, Ive just tried it with usb and wifi and both connect fine. Infact it connects quicker with usb than it did with v3.3.

Mmmm... don't reach the solution ;-( , even after modifying the browser settings. Always the same message...
"Cannot load page. Check that you are properly connected to the network. Type : TCP connect"
dolbe, can you give me your settings for this great browser ?
MS DeepFish is the best browser I've seen yet. It's in Beta for now though and has limitations. It's similar to Iphone's Safari - which is great.
Opera Mobile 9 will support zooming, just like Opera Mini. I asked Opera for a release date, but they won't say anything. It's supposed to be released "soon".
hey guys, i was wondering which version of opera mobile you guys are using. i download opera mobile version 8.65 for smartphone and when i installed it, it wouldnt let me open anything in settings and i was wondering i was supposed to download one for pda or something else beside one for smartphone. thank you
I use 8.65 for PPC. Make sure you have the right version - they have several.

v8.65 for PPC works great here.
yep the PPC one is diffrent, its the high memory version.
so ppc version for smartphone correct?
What's the big advantage of Opera Mobile over Opera Mini? I like that Mobile is native, but Mini has the zoom in/out feature that makes it really nice to use. I heard Mobile 9 is going to have that feature, but is there some other reason to spend money on 8.65?
Seems like a big mix up in this thread.
You have a ppc , not a smartphone.
So download the ppc version.
And the high memory version refers to opera mini only!
Opera mini is not the same as opera mobile.
Opera mobile is a full stand alone web browser.
Opera mini is a java app , nice browser tho but a completely different program.
java would generaly performe worse then native pocketpc applications
but not sure if the compress pages thing of mini mean that it's load times are generaly better but the general performce is lower for java and also .net applications
prob less for .net as ms prob put some efford into making .net faster then the verious java midlets makers to save face
HI, I was used to check my home webcam with my nokia, connecting to my webcam site.
Now with this powerfull machine I can't see anything, with both Opera and IE I reach the site, I insert the user and password and a white screen appears, notthing more...
Any advice about that?
Thank you for the help
P.S. the website is builtin into the webcam firmware and it works perfec with both IE7 and Firefor3 on PC....
Sorry, the user and password promp only with Opera, with IE only white screen...
None have tried to look at a webcam stream with the Diamond?
Please let me know...
So far, I have not heard of a single one of these camera pages that actually works on Windows Mobile.
Opera Mobile would have been your best bet, as it is more like a desktop browser, and these things are simply not programmed properly to work with Pocket IE. but obviously, this has not helped either.
You can of course also try Opera Mini, which is Java based and may be better for the site you're trying to get to.
Of course, if the page is flash based, you're screwed, unless it was programmed to be compatible with Flash Lite.
