Enable more than one popup in the browser? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently found out that my company has enabled the web version of microsoft office communicator (Internal IM).
The problem is that it launches a popup for the main buddy window and a separate popup for each chat. (I enabled popups). I've verified that I can log in and see the buddy window perfectly, however when I try to open a chat the browser complains that only one popup window can be open at a time.
Is there a way to overcome/hack this limitation? I'm going to try other browsers now...(skyfire, opera etc)
thanks.

I use a hosted app that requires the same (2 pop-up windows at a time)

Super old thread I know, but try xScope Browser in the market. That allowed me to open more than one popup in a certain site I was trying to access.

Some newbie questions about wi-fi and messengers.

I can't seem to find the exact info I am after. I am intending to purchase one of these phones off someone as soon as possible.
However, I don't really want it for use as a phone. Merely a temp solution so that I don't need my PC on 24/7. I want to be able - via wi-fi - to browse some web pages and also keep in touch with some friends via windows live messenger and yahoo messenger.
I just don't seem to be able to find the relevant software I would need on both the windows live, and yahoo websites. Is what I want to do possible with one of these phones? Oh and could I have internet explorer open at the same time as having a messenger app open? thanks for any help
edit: sorry, I should specify it's the XDA Mini S I am looking at buying.
The best MSN and Yahoo comunicator is Agile Messenger.
MSN Messenger is installed in every XDA Mini S as a standard.
Normally, that means without any 3rd party software, it's impossible to have open two applications in the same window (if that's what you're after) but if you just want to browse the net using IE and be logged in in the background - yes, that's how it works.
Then whenever you get a message the pop-up window will appear even if you are using other applications.
Excellent, that's as good as I need to be honest. Thanks
edit: can anyone confirm that once unlocked I can use a pay as you go sim card from t-mobile? Also does the phone need a sim card in it in order to be used to access the net etc via wi-fi? Thank you.

how about fully-functioning gmail on kaiser?

I've tried opera mini and opera mobile with no help. I am looking to have full access to my calendar, gAIM, and all those neat little services I can get when I open gmail on my computer.
I've been try to patiently wait for opera mobile 9 but wtf!
and I don't want to involve outlook, IMAP or any other BS "sign up for this" service. I want to load my browser on my Kaiser and see my full calendar (which my wife and I are able to share/edit in real time which rocks), on the go from anywhere...
I don't get it. What services are you looking for exactly? If you wanted to see the GMAIL website exactly as you would on the computer albeit some small differences, logon and select FULL view instead of mobile view on the bottom. Other than that, can you be more specific as to what your looking for?
No, the "FULL" gmail experience in Opera or anything I try does NOT include the gchat list on the left, the gdocument access and absolutely does not load the gcalendar as it looks on my computer. It loaded some cruddy un-editable single page calendar.
I'm sure that this isn't what you are wanting, but thought that I'd throw it out there anyway...
Have you ever tried OggSync? It allows you to sync your calendar with Google Calendar directly. I use it all the time now so that I'm not tied to Outlook. Basically every calendar that I have in Google is sync'd to a category on my Tilt.
As for Google Docs, this page (http://www.google.com/google-d-s/whatsnew.html) claims that you can access them via docs.google.com/m but I haven't tried that yet.
yeah, thanks for the heads up on oggsync but I'm done with "syncing" I've done it in the past and it's a pain, never smooth and NOT real-time, i.e. changes made aren't immediately seen on my wife's calander. The way we keep it now if she adds something to her shared gcalendar I immediately see it on mine and vice versa. With mobile calendar you only get to add, no edit and can't view months at a time easily (or at all?).
Was hoping Opera 9 would fix this.
P.S. I realize these are processor intensive scripts to make g-stuff look so awesome but I think (read: hope) the kaiser should be able to handle it.

Problems accessing iGoogle and gmail on Opera browser

Hello, since a couple of days i've been experiencing problems using iGoogle on my opera browser... The problems started after upgrading my phone from 1.37 rom to 1.93, but they're probably unrelated to the rom.
I can access the google page, but after entering my email and password to login to iGoogle or gmail something strange happens: I am directed to a completely blank page, with 1 word in the top-left of the page "Google". Nothing else. Also, a small icon of a lock appears in the address bar. The address bar displays an url starting with https://.
One time i got an error message saying i had cookies disabled, but when I checked in the Opera settings it was enabled, and i never changed this... so this appears to be a problem with Opera not allowing cookies, since google wants to place a cookie when you log in.
Does someone recognize my problem and know how to solve it?
Some other people have the same problem, see here.
I have the same problem. It started a couple of days ago, and I didn't change any settings. This was before I updated to the 1.93 rom, so I should think it's a problem on googles side, and not with the phone.
I'm still able to access gmail with Internet Explorer (but the light version for mobile phones).
i sorted mine out .solution here

It's a different problem to the one you had coopigeon, and the solution that worked for you doesn't help here.
I think omnivore and jaeger are on the right track that it's an Opera issue in how it's interacting with the gmail servers, perhaps relating to 1.93, or some new settings google are now using??!
It used to work or me, and now it's not working for me (after I upgraded to 1.93) so I'm stuck to using IE for e-mail checking
Yes it's different, because I use a mail account set on IMAP for gmail and that works perfectly... I don't even want to use the browser gmail, cause the WinMobile account stuff is good enough for me.
The problem is indeed related to the way the Opera browser interacts with the google page. I have now tried something:
I typed the entire url in my desktop browser... and voila, there i was on iGoogle. I guess my new diamond is not as shiny as my old desktop pc ;-)
The long url i get when i try to log in on starts with https, which means it's a secure connection, and apparantly Opera can't handle it. Either placing cookies is disabled in the software (although the settings say different), or the browser somehow can't redirect from the https secure page, to the normal http page.
Are there programmers here who can look into this? You'd be a great help, cause I'm addicted to my iGoogle with 10 different news-sites! RSS feeds don't even come close...

Facebook API Guru needed...

I am working very hard on a new type of service that ties in to facebook and mobile apps.
I have it working at about 90% with an Android game app, but it appears that there are some issues that I can't seem to get answered. Is there anyone here that knows the facebook API very well that might be able to answer some questions for me regarding conecting my facebook App, with my web framework, and my mobile apps? WinMo guys will be helpful too as we are planning on making this service crossplatform to all phones except the crapples.
Thanks!!!
no love? or nobody here familiar with facebook?
Recently I answered a question on MSDN winmo forums c/p;
I'm not using FaceBook (FB), but a good friend is. She asked me to look into it as she too is having issues with FB obtained from Microsoft Marketplace. I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact V cq HCT Diamond 2 cd Topaz cq Pure .
First I looked at the FB provided by Microsoft and tested it in a virtual embedded environment, as I did with all FB's tested. And I too had several 'issues' all different with several PPC based FB alternatives. Then I went to Facebook Developer site(!) and did some reading, then I found out that any FaceBook application needs API Key , Application Secret , and Application ID .

Setup the Facebook Application - Part 1, on Facebook.com
The following steps assume you have a Facebook account.
• Go to http://www.facebook.com/developers/createapp.php .
• If asked to login, use your Facebook login. If you haven’t created an application before, you will be asked to grant Facebook Application access to your Facebook account. You have to allow this in order for this process to work.
• Facebook will ask you for the Application Name that you want to use. This is a short human-readable name. It will be viewable to those who are allowed to visit your Facebook account so make it simple and clear.
• Agree to the terms and click Save Changes. Note: The next page that appears will contain three pieces of information that you will need for your Drupal FB Application: API Key, Application Secret, and Application ID. You will copy and paste this information into the applicable fields when creating your Drupal FB Application.
Canvas Page-specific Setup
Not necessary for Facebook Connect-only applications.
• Click on canvas in the left menu of your Facebook application screen. At the top of the screen that appears next, fill in the URL field. Keep the URL simple and descriptive. Formatting restrictions are provided on the screen. Please read them.

facebook AND configure AND "give the application access"
facebook AND configure AND "application access"
"this key identifies your application to facebook"
"you pass it with all your api calls" AND facebook
"configure access control policies" AND facebook
"third-party Integration modules" AND facebook

Currently my friend is using some beta version from another developer and still has some issues, found in the first google search string. Though for her they are only minor issues for which she wants to use her laptop anyway.
I hope these links help you. I'm gonna move to a next subject now
Senax
Also a heads up Facebook just changed there API not to long ago as well should be a lot better.

[Q] Model SM-T520: Default Application/Launch by Default Reset

Howdy,
I have the Galaxy Tab Pro SM-T250.
I have downloaded a webpage to view off line (.htm)
When I click on the .htm file HanCom Office tried to open the file & failed. I turned off that program & cleared it's cache. The Launch by Default section had a grayed out Clear Default button for that program (as many of the online guides suggested I click the Clear Default button)
Under Default Applications for the entire device there is nothing under Clear Defaults
When I try to open the .htm file after stopping the HanCom Office application, I receive a pop up window which reads "Unable to find application to perform this action."
I do not have a box pop up asking for an application to open the file. If I did, I would have Firefox do it.
Thank you very much!
Actually most mobile browser are not set to open local HTML files (since it's an unusual behaviour on a mobile device). To solve your problem you should use a specific application from Google Play, like Offline browser.
Also, if you're using Android 4+, you can save web pages for offline navigation directly form the default browser, although you can open them just in the browser itself.
