Firefox 3.0/3.0.1 - Off-topic

Anybody here using firefox 3 encounter the drop down menu can't be shown here in xda-developers.com, eg. search, quick links, etc?
Cheers,
Vibranze

works great for me.

Hybrid Display mode
Whenever I chose Hybrid Display mode, the same error you are describing happened to me. Never had a problem with Linear mode.

Actually I'm using NoScript addon and xda-developers.com is already allowed in NoScript.
I tried to allow scripts globally, it solved the problem on and off.
I don't have this problem when I was with FF2.
It's really puzzled me.
Cheers,
Vibranze

Working fine for me...

Could it be a FF3 / NoScript combination bug?
I only use ABP to kill junk from sites and XDA-Devs still works fine.

Hi DaveShaw,
Here I also use ABP together with NoScript. I just removed NoScript and now I can surf without problem.
Thanks for the clue anyway.
Update1: Ops, now the drop down menu can't be shown again Sigh!
Update2: Now, it is working again, weird.
Cheers,

works for me, didnt have to change anything

Internet Explorer not working

Hi all,
I installed KaiserTweak yesterday, and although I think its a great application, Pocket Internet Explorer won't connect to any links. I don't know if it's related or not.
Firstly, the home page won't open, and no links open when selected in Favourites -- its says connecting at the bottom, and 0%.
I can connect with Opera, but I still like to use IE for some pages.
Anyone experienced this?
Thanks guys,
Ratzz
Does it look like its loading and then nothing comes up after it finishes real quick? I think this is a known issue. Forgot where I saw the fix. I just soft reset and its back.
Yep, thats it - tries the s/r but didnt fix.
I'd love to find that thread you mentioned...
Thanks for the info...

I had this problem on WM6.1 ROM with ce-star installed, PIE won't load any pages with this combination.
have you tried clearing the cookies and cache files? maybe a clean up is in order
All cleared up, but still no connection.
No error message, just a blank screen.
Any other ideas guys?
Not sure if Kaiser Tweak does this but did you change the location of where PIE stores the temp internet files. Also, try going back to the tweak and resetting everything to default. (for testing)
If you are using ATT to connect a hidden proxy has to be enabeled, don't know if that applies to T mobile as well.
i am having a similar problem with my IE. only difference is i cant seem to get an active internet signal for anything. it was working one second then not working the next. i cant send/recieve email or anything. any ideas guys??

If using T-Mobile DO NOT enable hidden proxy.
It's funny how I just responded to you with this cause now I'm in the same boat! s/r does not fix. Working one day, gone the next. Now I've gotta search for the thread I saw with the fix. Are you using the latest ROM from AT&T for the tilt..?
SOLUTION...
Its easy just don't use your SD to keep Temp, cookies, history, etc...
I was having the same problem until that changes.
Where do you change theses settings.. I know... NOOB question. I have thought I saw it somewhere but now I cant find it...

Or you could check in Tweak under PockectIE >Proxy Auto Detect> Enabled (proxy = disabled)
This setting solved my problem along with all the good folks here on xda!! I'm a NOOB but this worked for me.. I had everything else working and had used Opera Mini 9.5 beta and Opera Mobile successfully but could not get IE to load a page. It would act like it was loading, display 0%, but nothing happened. Hope this helps..
ATT Tilt
Rom: Dutty's 3.08...? (WM6.1)
Tweaks for pockey IE..? I did'nt see that option. Only general, memory, & security options under tools in IE. Is this located somewhere else or is it a CAB tweak..? Thanks.
I'm having the same problem, has anyone found a solution yet?

Pandora Radio

I found a cab file for Pandora Radio in a Motorolla forum, installed it, and it works!
I'm using a Att Tilt running Garmin DK 9 ROM WM6.1.
Here is the link to the cab file:
http://mq.roeiboot.com/apps/pandora.cab
Note: switch to landscape when creating your account or you will not see all the required fields. ie: zip code.
Also Birthday is year only.
Enjoy
Happy Birthday to me!
The bitrate of the streams are low. They sound like 96kbit/s or lower compared to the 128kbit/s streams on Resco Radio.
Haha, that's awesome; never seen someone so excited about a discovery, only to knock it with their next post! Been using Pandora for a few months now. Kinoma freeplay is much better for specific radio staion searches with pandora being better for general types of music; resco is very flaky, and yea it has a larger bit rate, though that also causes a lot of sound distortion combined with a lot of "hit and miss" music selections...
This is Fing great!! Good find man.
hey thanks for this i have been looking for a pandora app for a while now because i like it better than last.fm
it stays stuck on the 'connecting' screen for me. any fixes out there?
Bad Connection
I just installed today but i get "We're experiencing network communication difficulties Please Try again later anyone else having this issue

I have the proxy unchecked in the Media Net settings. You can try that.

Still said that my email and password is not reconized. it works on pc but not on the phone app.
This works great, thanks! I had to actually do the registration online (w/ my PC), do an initial log in, then used it on my phone.
Great find thanks alot. Works great on my Tilt running HDIII.
Been playing with Pandora on my device for about a week now, it's quite splendid.
One little hack you might care to do...
Edit the following registry key/values to allow playback to continue while the screen is turned off:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences]
"UnattendedPlayback"=dword:1
"FastCacheReserve"=dword:00800000
"LocalCacheReserve"=dword:00800000
weird mine is working fine w/ the screen off, it pauses for about a second then contintues.
This is the best cab. ive added for awhile to my tilt. Thanks for the find.
Can't use in the UK
Using orb but have managed to delete bbc radio 4 - can someone who is using orb check the streaming url for R4 pls?

Interesting. I had tested Pandora previously on Garmin's DK8Final
ROM (fresh rom, no other programs installed or tweaks done) and found I had to make that registry change to allow unattended playback. Updated to DK9 yesterday and just made the reg changes anyway. It all works though
Cheers,
I've only been able to log in one time. After that it just hangs up every time.
I would like to express my immense appreciation for this app/CAB. this has been a hope for me for a LONG time. i even got this running on my girlfriends treo 750- thank you so very much!
Newer version
Another thread in Kaiser General has a newer version of Pandora 1.1.4 compared to this 1.0.25.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460259
This can be closed.
I loaded Pandora 1.1.4 from the following forum, it works GREAT!! However, my playback shuts down when the screen goes dark. I tried the below suggested registry edit, however, I don't have those options available. Did you manually enter those options? Also, this version seems to be a flash player, not using the Media Player, just want to make sure I'm understanding this as I'm quite a noob =) Many thanks in advance for all the help!

Change hourglass/waiting cursor

Hi all,
already searched the forum and even tried Google, but it's not my friend this time.
I don't really like the standard hourglass on my Raphael, I would like it to be some more in TF3D style or at least without the white background.
I found out you can change it with a Marshall's Waiting Cursor program, but the developer's site is down and there is no other place you can download the program as far as I know.
Is there another useful program to change it? Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
His site seems to be working on my end...
I don't know any other software that does the same. I uses Marshall's program for a while on my Tilt, seemed to be working ok. The occasional glitch though.
Cheers,
Cacti
i second MWC2.

Thanks, the site works here now too. Strange.
I'll try it, since it's the only way to change the cursor. Is it so hard to create such cursors?
Wisbar Advance also has the option of customizing the wait cursor. However it is not freeware.
The cursor images/frames are stored in one of tthe dl's(or dll.mui.*) in Windows folder. Open the dll in PC using some resource editor(PE Explorer or Resource Tuner for example) and change those bitmaps. Copy it to your Windows folder back using Resco Explorer(this is the only one,which can overwrite ROM files) and restart.
Anyone that's using MWC2 ever notice their device randomly turning on?
Last time I tried it my screen would come on out of nowhere. Once I uninstalled it the problem went away.

after you uninstalled it, did your cursor go back to the default?

Anyone else having problems with People, Weather, and Programs?

I'm using touchflo and the people, weather, and programs tabs aren't working at all.
Just wondering if there's something I need to download to fix this, cause I've looked everywhere and can't even find anything on this issue.
The people tab just has the + Add boxes but they're all non-responsive, same with the programs tab
The weather tab shows Add Location, *Downloading weather forecast data may incur additional data transfer fees from your provider.
Add location, and Settings don't do anything, and About brings up a website which says it doesn't exist.
I'm not sure whether this is something I have to activate with my phone company or if there's something to fix this.
The weather works if I uninstall touchflo and use the default UI.
Bump, need help still please
I too am having this issue so its not just u. Hope someone can help us out.
Hey i read I tryed this and it worked fro me. I hard reset my whole phone and then re-installed everything using these instructions and everything worked fine. Hope it works for u also.

[App] Flix - It's like Cinemo but for the UK, France and Germany :)

*********************************************************
2009-07-13 PLEASE USE THE NEW MAIN THREAD FOR FLIX HERE!!!
Flix has been updated today to 1.0.7.0
*********************************************************
Hi all.
I've decided to upload the first public release of "Flix". It's a movie listings app i've written, inspired by Cinemo, but for a UK audience. Be gentle with the comments, as it's my first foray into the Compact Framework!
First off, the features:
- Yahoo based
- Search based on Postcode or town
- GPS "Where am I" lookup
- Google Maps link from Cinema Info screen
- Call cinema direct from the app.
- Movies list cast info, Synopsis, runtime, and (optionally) a poster if Yahoo has one.
There is a little more detail on my blog (along with instructions) as I've just added it on there too.
I'm contemplating changing from Yahoo as their postcode lookups seeem to be getting more vague by the day. My own (PE8) has yielded nothing for the past couple of days even though it did previously - so if you find nothing matches up, check the Yahoo page to see what it does at that end.
You'll need to have CF3.5 installed for Flix to work.
Anyway, I'm happy to hear of any comments you have - if you have problems then let me know and I will try and help of course, and suggestions are always welcome too. As ever, if you find it useful then please consider donating!
Thanks
****UPDATE 2009-06-28****
Flix has just been updated! Changes:
-Now supports France and Germany
-Google Maps loading should work if it's installed in non-std locations
-Where Am I function now uses online Geocoding to work in the new countries
-Some improvements to parsing behind the scenes
I do still plan to update it to work in North America, however the Yahoo page is quite different so it's more work. Lots of Euro countries use the same layout as the UK so it's pretty quick to adapt. Expect Spain and Italy next...
As ever, if you find this free app of use, a small donation is appreciated (link above!)
This works really well for me. Nice one!
hey
this works very well..
in fact you need to say that its for more than uk. I am in west of ireland and it picked up one cinema. So it works for me too. I would like it to pick up the other major cinema though but still its very good... well done
Hi jmbilings, nice to see this hitting the streets, Great job so far.
Working well on my Diamond.
Oh and why not in dev and hacking?
Hi James, put a heads up over in the diamond forum.

anyone have any ideas

same and im in N13, yet it still finds the nearest one (cineworld enfield)...
an idea: For future releases would it be possilble to have multiple cinemas saved, for example, it will find one near me, but not another near me, thus i have to go through the update process and lose the first cinemas results.
other than that, great app man, really useful

I think it is a problem on yahoos end, try going to their website and entering your postcode there and see what it returns, I seem to get better results if I configure flix using the name of my city rather than my postcode.
great app but unfortunately I'm in the usa, cinemo is alright but it feels like a first step and daniel gary is great for filling the gap in the app market with a needed app like this, but his is limited so far.
would it be very hard for you to tweek this a little to make it work in the states here. I really like your interface and features.
thanks
I installed this last night. What a great app! Works a treat. Many thanks for a very useful and easy to use application!!
Hi all - sorry i've not been back to check on this thread, I'm stupid busy at work and my home-time is currently spent sorting a website for a mate who was made redundant
Anyway - I still have plans for Flix ,including support for other countries. I didn't do the US out of the box because Cinemo existed, but if it's not too hard to add I will do, as it gives folk the choice.
Thanks to all who have tried it so far!
Problem with listing by cinema
First of all: great and very useful app.
One problem though: when I click on 'cinemas' and then 'Odeon Wimbledon' and then the clock icon for listings the software just crashes. Any idea why?
Thanks for looking into this issue, Alex.

Hi, I entered "SW19 2DX" as post code and it happened, but also when entering just "Wimbledon". I'm using this app on a HTC Touch HD by the way...
I also tried updating all data because I thought it might have been a problem with the data download - but unfortunately the crash still happens...
OK, i've just tested that here and it works fine.
I think it's not a data problem but something else.
What resolution is the HD offhand? There is a little bit of code that makes the button "bounce" bigger and smaller when tapped for UI feedback and I wonder if that does something odd on a different resolution... do you get any details of the actual error? (it may have a button at the bottom for more info; although you might need to install an extra .NET cab to give full details)
Have you tried going the other way as well? i.e. look up a movie and click the clock; does the same happen?
Cheers, and sorry you're having trouble!

Thanks so much for looking into this for me. The Touch HD has a native resolution of 480x800 pixels. When I go to a movie and then click on the clock it shows the times at Odeon Wimbledon just fine.
And very interestingly it now WORKS via the cinema route as well - how odd is that? Maybe because 'Wimbledon' only uses 1 cinema, whereas the post code found quite a few?
I'm just trying the post code again just to be sure...downloading data as we speak...
That is odd; I used the postcode as you mentioned and I get several cinemas:
Cineworld Wandsworth
Odeon Streatham
Empire Sutton
Odeon Wimbledon
However they all list showtimes without problem...
If it still happens, see if you can get any details on the error, otherwise i'm a bit stumped!
All good now, data download finally finished (b****y GPRS here at work) and no crashes anymore...
Maybe me restarting the device in the morning helped.
Sorry for troubling you and thanks again for trying to help. Keep up the good work as this is a great app!!!
