I love my SGS exept for the gps (which i can't do anything about) and a prob with the browser.. The problem with my browser is that it only works if I use wifi! It doesn't work with 3g or gprs or anything like it! Every other app can use the connections (3g etc) including the opera browser! I've tried resetting the browsers settings but no effect. My firmware version is: I9000XXJM2 and it is not rooted. My provider is Scarlet and I'm dutch (excuse my bad english ). Any help/suggestions would be appreciated
i think it's your network provider that is blocking you.
that's why it works on WiFi and not on GPRS/EDGE/3G
i read another user had the same problem, you 2 might be in the same network
all other software works on GPRS (email, android market, etc) just not the WWW (port 80)
your network operator is monitoring that port for some reason
But why would opera browser work if that is the case? and the other apps too?
opera doesn't download the stuff as a normal browser does
it goes through their own opera servers, then back to your phone
if you use the Full Opera on the PC, they have all those features to "Turbo" "Share" etc etc etc... all those things goes back to the central opera server
on the mobile version of opera, it by default will always use the turbo mode, which means it filters out junk, to speed up the load time, and dither the pictures so you don't download the full picture size.
OK, now searching another SIM to test I'll keep you updated
Edit:
Found SIM and tried and indeed, this one does work! Very strange! Well tomorrow I'm changing provider
thanks for the help anyway
you're welcome

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.

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?

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".
Hi,
Does anyone else find that when you click on hyperlinks in opera, it can take an absolute age for the request to hit the server? I seem to get a fair amount of the HTTP request timed out messages on many popular sites.
A lot of the time clicking on the links does nothing and you have to keep hitting them until it succeeds.
Once you do finally make a request that hits the server the response is very fast indeed.
The problem is definitely to do with making the requests, its not a case of it sitting around waiting for the browser to render the page.
(am on o2 hsdpa with hsupa enabled)
anyone else?
there are 2 opera browsers one called mobile and one called mini
the one called mini is a java app which transfer all requests passed the opera server for comrpesion to be faster and i guess that can cause latency
ahh,
Im using Mobile 9.5 on the 1.37 rom.
Are you sure that it's opera and not e.g. O2 at fault? Have you tried the same site in PIE?
as rubbish as pocket ie is, i never have the problem in ie or opera mini.
The built in opera browser is chronic slow getting the requests out. Downloading is great but clicking links takes forever.
It's annoying because my P1i was blistering fast and I'm starting to see kinks in the browsing experience on the Diamond.
agreed, even on wifi its the same. waah
Hi,
I recently bought the touch diamond, and used the settings wizard to get the T-mobile UK settings.
Now the web browsing works fine, but I cannot get youtube client or Windows live to connect. Presumably this is a setting somewhere, so if anyone can shed light, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Hey, I had this problem when I flashed my Compact IV with a non branded ROM, the solution I found was if you go into settings - Connections - Connections - Edit my Proxy Server - then uncheck the box that says this connection uses a proxy server and it should work, dunno why it puts it in there cause it does seem to have a proxy already in but as you say, this only seems to work for opera on I.E nothing else.
Damian
thanks a lot. I have been dying to get this youtube thing to work. Looks good although the sync isn't fantastic.
Much appreciated, cheers!!
My PIE doesnt work anymore. When I start it, it loads the homepage, but doesnt load anything. It downloads 0kB and then stops. When I enter another url it does the same. Tried several urls, but still the same.
HTC Touch Diamond 1.93 ROM Dutch.
Anyone has the same problem ?
I have the same problem OPERA is working but IE no .
First check your connection if u have proxy comes by lame Activesync, after that try new connection with NEW NAME
to same GPRS/3G or whatever u have and try IE again...
My IE was working good, but then I made a lot of changes of connection and then IE not work , IE don`t use connection. Problem is , that in the OPTION of IE ist nothing useable for configuration (stupid WM) , but may be I am stupid . I think only regedit help . (sorry for my english )
It's not working (I tried open IE with Wifi), Opera and QuickGPS can work fine.
same problem here OPERA works but IE does not connect to any websites
IE on WM6 is the most stupid program on the world

Specially when you have Opera 9.5 on your phone.
Solution :
Advanced config - Internet explorer - Proxy auto detection - ENABLED - then restart
IE is working again
Mmkay all you xda wizards, I need a bit of guidance here...
I have not yet switched over my browser on my Tilt, and I was wondering two things:
a.) I am working with IE which sucks, of course. I am able to open my browser successfully about three or four times, but after that it shows my homepage addy in the bar, but does not load. I have the Kaiser Tweak on my phone, but I was wondering if there is a setting that will prevent me from having to soft reset my phone when this happens,
b.) I had previously posted a question about switching browsers (h/t to those who made suggestions). I tried one, whose name I cannot recall, and my beef was that it was a pain to have to constantly zoom in on the part of the page I wanted to view. I was told Opera would be a good browser for me-I am really interested in being able to open multiple tabs-and could someone tell me if switching to the Opera browser would do anything to help this data timeout.
Thanks for the help all...I love this site because I am pretty clueless on this type of thing.
get skyfire
Use anything but Pocket IE. I have the following free good browsers installed on my device: Iris Browser, Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, Bolt Browser, and Skyfire. My most used browsers are Skyfire and Opera Mobile, but I use different browsers for different things. Try each one to see which ones you like best.
