When using a site like m.facebook.com and some rss feed mobile sites on 3g the font size is tiny forcing a double tap zoom. Switch to wifi, the text is the normal larger size.
Tried searching, but, oof, what a generic bunch of responses for zoom opera mobile 3g wifi. Heh. I tried resetting adaptive zoom settings, deleting cache. Any advice? Just one of those silly nuisance type thigns that bug you until you get an answer...
Thanks.
This issue is back now that I ran the HTC Connection wizard. Odd.
Well, so far I have found that since running connection set up that proxy settings are not being saved if deleted in the opera:config. Trying a few other things. wifi still shows the correct font size and it appears to be proxy related. Now I just have to figure out how get the blank proxy settings to stay blank.
Thanks if anyone has help. I am using the build of Opera in RSW's thread.

I've been searching the whole forum today and others where I thought I would find an answer, but I still can't find anything that tells me where to look.
Of course, we know the search isn't so great here, but I may have not searched very thorougly, so I'm posting this here in case someone might know off the top of their head where to look.
I don't know if it's PIE or the AT&T proxy that's causing this, but I don't see the problem using Opera Mobile with the same connection. I'm using PIE+ 2.2 on IE, but I remember this occuring even before I installed the plug-in.
I've encountered some sites where IE will *seriously* compress the images and cause them to be very pixelated and distorted even in Desktop view.
I guess I could use Opera, but there's some limitations on it that PIE with "+" overcome.
Any ideas or suggestions?
its AT-T I wouldnt use the MediaNet that the Auto config sets you up with. I personally use the wap.cingular settings and have no issues what so ever

Can you still access MediaNet and Cingular Video with those settings? I was also having problems checking my AT&T Yahoo! IMAP accounts using "My ISP", but they work just fine with MediaNet...
And while we're on the subject: Anyone know why I can't access the mobile Bank of America site anymore? Can't get on it with either Opera or IE - It says that 'for security reasons my device can't acess Mobile Banking.'
I flashed the HTC rom on my tilt a few days ago. Everything seems to work fine except that when I open a webpage (using Pocket IE), the 3G icon on the top changes to H. (What is H anyways?)
Other apps that require(?) 3G like Streaming media player and Messaging cannot connect at all. They try to connect to 3G, cycle thru the connection attempt twice and give up. But they work fine if I'm on wifi.
Are there any settings that I'm supposed to put in the Tilt?
I've tried searching on the forums but have been unsuccessful so far. If anyone can help me that would be awesome. Or point out keywords that I should use to search the forum, that would be great too.
Thanks.
Go to 'Settings' 'Connections' 'HSDPA' and uncheck the box.
BTW its High Speed Downlink Packet Access and you may need to subscribe from your carrier network for connection.
Thanks for the lightening fast reply. It got rid of the H icon. But streaming media still doesnt work.
When trying to open a youtube video, for example, it tries to connect to something, but fails eventually. I'll post some screenshots soon.
Do I need to change any settings in windows media player?
What branded phone were you using because you may have removed vital streaming SW required by your carrier.
AT&T Tilt aka Kaiser
I flashed it with the HTC rom from this forum.
Have a look at your programs and see if Flash Player is installed. If not, search the Forum for the cab (its in Dutty's thread in this forum flashlite) and install it. That may solve your problem.
The flash player is installed. As I can view the same streams if I use wifi.
But if I disable wifi, then the webpages open up, but no streaming media opens up.
Also, using Messaging, hotmail is able to download my mails on 3G, but not other accounts (ex. gmail IMAP). But everything works on wifi.
Sorry to be a pain in the ass, but I'm willing to search the forums if someone can point out the keywords to look for. I'm really clueless at this point.
Then look for the AT&T operator settings needed after flashing. If all is working on WiFi then that is definately your problem.
Thanks. I know its a problem on my end. But I don't know where to look for settings. I'm very new to this windows mobile world.
I'll search the forum now for AT&T settings and will get back.
Thanks a lot again for your help!
Damn... not sure where the info is. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Here, try this.

You owe me a beer next time you are in Abu Dhabi.
I just tried the AT&T instructions and it screwed my IE connection. Every page load gave me an error. I reverted back to the original settings.
As for streaming videos, I managed to change the settings to use Media Net and it seems to work.
Still cant figure out how to do that with Messaging.
p.s.... trying the cab you just posted.
Okay, I tried that cab, and it still doesn't let me use any other email account in messaging. Here are the screen shots.
As you can see from the images, Windows Live (hotmail) email downloads just fine. But when I change the email to Gmail from the dropdown, and press Send/Receive, it fails to connect. What are the differences in the connections between the two.
By the way, sorry for the 90 degrees rotated images. It didn't let me upload images with heights more than 280. Weird
p.s. Farsquidge, I still owe you a beer

Wait, explain why you want to get rid of the "H"? H is HSDPA, which is the fastest 3G connection.
G = GPRS (slow)
E = Edge (faster than GPRS, but stil slow)
3G = UMTS (3G, fast)
H = HSDPA (3G+, fastest connection)
Assuming you have HSDPA in your region (which if it showed H means you do), you would normally want HSDPA. It provides speeds greater than 1Mbit/sec.
I've enabled it back. Thanks for the clarification.
Try using the Network settings wizard then do a soft reset to apply them.
Go through the AT&T settings page on the link to see they match and adjust them accordingly if not.
Then you will most likey have to go to the other setup pages on AT&T's site for email and MMS setup as you have lost all with the flash.
I tried the Network settings wizard. Didn't change anything.
Tried the AT&T settings page. It screwed up even more and I couldnt even browse web pages. So I reverted back to original settings.
I've managed to fix the streaming media player by making it use Media Net. As for Messaging, I'll have to look into AT&Ts setting for MMS. Will keep you guys posted.
p.s. You guys are amazing. Thanks for all the help!
If you look, a new version of Network settings wizard has been posted to this forum today.
Aah.. thanks, I found it. I'll try that in the evening when I get home and let you know.
I can only access yahoo.com web page. when i try to go to MSN or other web pages it only display white screen. What am I doing wrong? is there a setting I goofed? How do I fix it? Thank you.
I have full MediaPack from ATT.

When I enter for example www.msn.com the connection process starts with locating then opening, then white screen ... Looks like I am connected however I do not show the web page. I am able to access Yahoo.com however. I cleared all cookies, did a SR and same problem. This issue happens just recently. The only place where I can see proxy settings is the connection tab, and the proxies are disabled.
Asfoor ......... = Bird .... thus the Avatar...
I tried the WiFi connection off of my home wireless and I am able to connect just fine to any web page. Only when I am on EDGE or GPRS / 3G when the problem happens and I can not connect to any other than Yahoo.com. ... Now MobiTV, XM, Resco radio are all fine. I can connect and fast i might add.
Only the Internet access where the problem exists.
Ok then my bad, try ENABLING the proxy if your on that. haha i knew it meant asfoor, because it's arabic

I think it has to do with the Mediamax plan... but what is confusing is that I am able to access www.yahoo.com and that... anything else renders blank page.
it has nothing to do with media max. i have media max and i can surf any website. try doing this, go to start,setting,connection,connection,advance,select network, choose media net,edit, proxy setting, unchecked the box "this network uses proxy server to connect to the internet". if that doesnt work try using another browser like opera mobile or mini opera. Or do a hard reset

Thanks for the tip about opera Mini. I am using as we speak and it is slick. I am wondering if there is a way to create a short cut directly to Opera instead of going through Java first! can you suggest a way? thanks again.
Hi All,
I was told by an AT&T guy that you could change the opera config file to make opera on the Fuze act a fully functional browser. The problem I am having is the opera will take to me to the mobile version of websites and I don't want that. I have tried changing the user agent to 2 and 3, but that didn't correct the problem. Does anyone know what has to be changed to make this work?
thanks
billf.
A couple of other things to do in the opera:config page. First, you want to change the "Custom User-Agent" in "user prefs" to "Mozilla/4.0(compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 6.0;en)" (although I've also heard that just deleting that string works, too, but I haven't tried it).
The other thing is to delete the HTTP and HTTPS server names in the "Proxy" section.
These changes will get you to the normal version of most sites (although there are some sites that still redirect to wap/mobile versions -- I don't use any of these on a regular basis, but nba.com is one such).
You can upgrade to build 2745
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442252&highlight=opera+2745&page=15
I followed all of the tips and some of the sites still wouldn't go, no matter what changes I made. I followed owziee's directions in the link above exactly and upgraded to the 2745 build that herg posted in that same thread. Works perfectly and I can now go to desktop sites. You do have to make the additional changes, can't just run the cab or it doesn't fit vga and zoom properly, but with my low to intermediate skills it wasn't a problem to do.
I can't stand this Opera Mobile. Web pages are constantly changing size on my, and I can't zoom in or out. Is there any way to change the default browser to IE? IE works much better for me.
i didnt like opera at first but its actually way better then PIE. go to the opera settings and there is a button that says "mobile view" uncheck it and all websites are not in mobile view.
also. im sure u know. but for zooming u can run your finger in a circle clockwise or counterclockwise on the button to make it zoom in or out...or u can double tap the touch screen for it to zoom in.
all you gotta do is add to the end of your web address is "index.html". ex. espn.com/index.html
Works perfectly
You have to disable your proxy for your data connection or it will go to the mobile version as well. That is in connection settings. Uncheck the box that says this connection uses a proxy. I was getting all mobile sites until I did that.
waste of time
screw all that programming - just install skyfire and set it as your default browser through itself and if that doesnt work, install total commander and change the internet file - google it and you'll find simple instructions
Hi,
Here's the link to the Opera Mobile thread; have a look at the last 25 or so posts in the thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486502
In a nutshell, stock ROM's receive many post-configuration changes via .PROVXML; this means that the experience of applications are changed by the carrier to suit their requirements.
There are a few adjustments that are required in order to achive the experience you're after ... the link will help you achieve your desired configuration and saves me repeating all the same info here.
i tried posting this question in the particular thread for the opera 9.5 version i'm running (15233) multiple times and haven't gotten any responses. but for some reason opera is compressing images down a lot. for example, an image that i save on my phone from a website which normally be sized at 100k on my computer, or on my buddies fuze running opera, will be 25k on my phone. so when or if i try to zoom in to check the details in the pic, or if there's writing in the pic its completely garbled and unreadable. does anyone know if there's anything in the settings under opera:config to fix this. i've check multiple times and can't find a thing.
by the way, i did fix this a while ago...
if anyone ever has this problem, its due to the proxy settings under opera:config. remove all the proxy settings and you'll have non compressed images.
