Database Develop

PIE. Alternatives?

Using the Tilt's Internet Explorer, I can not access a particular website. The problem is that the developer of the website has a script to detect the browser and if it is not IE 6+ or above, you only get an error stating that you need to use IE and not Opera, Firefox, etc... But the Tilt is running IE, correct?
Anyway, is there a better version of IE that can be used on the Tilt? I have Opera installed and use that mainly but as I said, the site blocks Opera as well.
Help?

Send a nasty email to the developer telling him he's a f*cking idiot and it's people like him that break the internet.

Try PIEPlus by Reensoft,
It Adds Many Much Needed Improvements To PIE.
It Also Allows You To Change The User-Agent That The Browser Reports To The Server. (Essentialy Identifying Itself As IE6 For Example)

I second that on PIEPlus. It is a must have if you plan on using PIE.

PIE Plus is pretty cool! I like it.
Unfortunately, it dosent seem to fix the problem. I changed the User Agent to:
Mozilla/4.0
compatible
MSIE 7.0
Windows NT 6.0
PPC; 240x320
Did I miss something or do I need to keep on digging for a solutions?

The Picsel browser also allows you to define the User Agent string to IE6 etc.
It is a nice browser, but not as nice as OperaMini IMHO, but it will also view *.pdf *.doc files and text and images. There are cabs for it floating around here somewhere.

Thanks everyone. I found a browser.
Picsel (wizzzard!!!) works great! WOW, super fast also with easy to use navigation.
Thanks everyone!

this may sounds dumb, what does the P stand for in PIE? PDA?

The P Stands For Pocket.
Sorry To Hear That PIEPlus Does Not Solve Your Issue.
Might Have To Take A Lookie At Picsel.

Try Jataayu browser, Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335625

OK, tried Jataayu as well. Pretty nice. Tried it for about 2 minutes and every page that has a login screen, after entering my user/pass it wont let me click the "Login" button. Tried it on 3 different web pages and the same result each time.
Still looking for an alternative though.
I am almost done with the Tilt. I am giving it 1 more week and then it is going back to ATT.

The Wiki is your best friend. See http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Web Browsing, browsers
In general, I recommend Opera Mini 4. That is, start with the OM4 article ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...he FREE(!) Web browser you MUST give a try to ) to see whether it's sufficient for you or you need something better.

<RANT>You really should try to learn how to search.</RANT> Google is also your friend.
As Menneisyys has said Opera Mini 4 is very good, but does have its limitations eg. YouTube

If you REALLY need to use this setup (I'd say it's an overkill in 99% of the cases), let me recommend something that (supposedly) is much faster; for example, LogMeIn.
In the Wiki, I've published some very serious benchmark results of the different desktop controllers; see http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Access your desktop PC from your Pocket PC!

New Skyfire Out Today - Now Supports VGA!

Gotta love it. Hulu on my Fuze, I don't think I'll ever get anything done. , it doesn't seem like the actual page resolution that skyfire downloads has changed though which sucks. but the menus etc. now completely function in both landscape and portrait.
Cheers,
Migsims
** EDIT ** Some people running the stock rom seem to be having issues installing this. I currently have - PROven ROM 1.03 20757 HD build - flashed on my Fuze and Skyfire is working great installed on my storage card. I'm not sure what the issue is.
http://get.skyfire.com
Version 0.85 of the Skyfire mobile browser is now available.
To get the latest version of Skyfire, point your phone's standard browser to http://get.skyfire.com and download the newest client. The site will detect the device and provide the appropriate installer.
Please note: if you are a current Symbian user you must uninstall the existing client on your phone first.
Release notes follow.
Skyfire 0.8.5 Release Notes
Released: November 21, 2008
Skyfire brings the PC internet experience to your mobile. Watch videos on YouTube or Hulu, connect with your friends on Myspace or Facebook, shop on Amazon, or listen to music. If you can experience it on your computer, you now can do it with Skyfire on the go.
Skyfire is fast, easy to use and available for free for many smart phone models.
Skyfire 0.8.5 Beta adds (standard) VGA support for Windows Mobile devices and brings the feature set for our Symbian client in line with Windows Mobile. Skyfire will continue to maintain both platforms in future releases.
We greatly appreciate your participation in our beta community. Your support and feedback on the forums at http://support.skyfire.com/forums/ helps us to constantly improve the product.
What’s new in 0.8.5 for both Windows Mobile and Symbian:
* Simple Download: This is big for us and we hope for you as well. Now, there is NO requirement anymore to register in order to download, access, and use Skyfire. With this release, downloading is as simple as pointing your existing mobile browser to http://get.skyfire.com. We detect the device and provide the installer for your phone.
* Optional Registration: Once downloaded and installed, you can use Skyfire right away. Browse away, create bookmarks, and check your history. Everything will work.
Why create an account? So you can retain Bookmarks and History in case you lose your phone or have to switch phones. Furthermore you can post and participate in the Skyfire user forums.
Already have an account? You can still access your existing account by simply logging in on your device. Or, create a new account. Or, migrate your account between phones. It’s now all done from your phone on the Skyfire start page.
* New UK Data Center: We are looking forward to providing better service for our UK based users and are currently building out a new data center. If you are in the UK you should automatically connect to the new data center and experience better performance. If you are not based in UK, then you will automatically connect to the US data center. Please bear with us as we work out some of the kinks – especially with account migration.
* Overall Improvements: Client and Server robustness, streaming performance, recovering from lost connections.
* Improved rendering of mobile pages: We better detect and render more mobile pages. The list continues to expand.
* Updated Skyfire User Portal: We continue to evolve our user portal and start page. Although some of it was already visible before 0.8.5, it is worth mentioning:
o Google Search & Search Results: It’s the best and the most used.
o Updated weather widget: Now supports Canada and UK postal codes, in addition to US.
o Region specific start page: Custom feeds and pre-populated bookmarks for US and UK.
What’s new in Windows Mobile 0.8.5 since Windows Mobile 0.8?
* Standard VGA support: We are excited to now provide VGA support for the number of new devices that recently entered the market, including the HTC Touch Diamond, Diamond Pro, HTC/ATT Fuze. Please note that we support Standard VGA support (e.g. 640x480). Widescreen WVGA (e.g. 800x480 etc) is NOT supported yet.

nice find!
cant wait to install it!
-SCDavis

Didn't work for me ...
I dowloaded the cab from the 'get' link and when I tried to install it I got an error stating that "...The installation file is not intended for this device."
I used Skyfire on Tilt all the time so I was hoping it wouldn't be a problem on the Fuze. Must be doing something wrong ... ?

It's working fine on my Fuze, dunno what's up there. What version did you download?

It worked for me too. When I went to that website it said my device was a TouchDual, but it still worked and landscape works fine with our keyboard too.

I too got the same error. The link automatically sets version 7.9x. Maybe they will get it worked out. Also the user control has been moved to the mobile browser. And since some of use have moved on to the fuze we can't access the control panel to say change device.

The link defaulted to "Skyfire_7927-PPC50". There was no option to choose anything else. I not only tried the link from my phone but also got the same file when using the laptop.
I'll keep watching to see what might be the problem.

That's exactly the one I downloaded and installed and it's working fine, that's kind of strange.

i'd recommend just downloading the cab and copying it to your device if you're having problems

Did that and got same results, meaning "Unsuccessful" message.
*EDIT: Worked this time. Must have been me on the transfer from laptop. Got it working now, so thank you for the recommendation to try again.

copy it to my device, installed and had to soft reset to get it working. But it works very well. Now I have 3 browsers to choose from What is the down side to SkyFire?? Seems to do everything.

On the ATT Fuze I went to the site, it said I have an HTC phone so I click to download it didn't work. But if I selected This is not my phone, then went to WinMo 5 or 6 Touch it worked flawlessly :-D

i did the above and it worked, problem is the browser looks blurry... like a scaled up version of the qvga version... when it loads a page and th site takes up the screen you cant read any of te small text... opera is nice and crisp and clear...
ill try the other installation way when i get to my home computer to see what works there. I looked around in the settings but nothing is there as far as adjusting resolution or anything.
shade

i think all they did was make the menus and stuff vga for now and hopefully soon they will actually make the whole thing fully vga

hmm, that could be it... the address bar and stuff are all crisp and vga-ish...
can some more people who have this running give more feedback on this...
oh, and is there tabbed browsing on this browser at all? I cant seem to find it. for a browser that claims to do EVERYTHING, thats the one thing I am really looking for!

Its is def not as sharp as the Opera browser. I also noticed its alot slower now then in the locked betas :-( I guess because the server load is growing but I used to watch streaming video all the time.

yeah the problem is that any flash is streamed and compressed on their servers ala opera mobile.
It would be really nice if adobe finally got off their ass and made an updated full plugin on not this flash lite crap.

Well if definitely does not look as nice as Opera....and is there a way to make this work with TouchFlo3D?

Yeah, I had to download it, transfer it to my storage card then install it without issues.

I still get the half screen issues that I had with previous versions.

what are soom cool things to download on my x1

i already have touch flo3d and windows mobile voice command

THPS2...

my top five.
i have a bunch of apps.
i mostly use the following:
G-alarm
evernote
i-nigma (bar code reader)
qik (live video broadcasting from your phone)
the you tube panel.
and now i guess im using the point home 2 ui instead of touch flo3d.
you can find all (or most) if you just use the foruM search

I m using Resco contact manager which is my personal favourite especially because I like the today screen ..and have been playing around with morphgear a little which isnt bad .. here is the link to the contact manager if u want to try it
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/contactmanager/default.asp

must haves..
wmvwifi router.. i use old free beta.
www.mymobiler.com to remote control from pc
total commander (for registry and ftp access)
http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php for som old point and click games.

depend on your interests really
like I installed a program which would let me detect in which direction to point my sat disc
to get various channels
but people without sat discs would find limited usesage for such and app
much like I would find little usage for a plane spotting app which told me which times I should hit out to the airport to see some rare type of plane
for pure brain storm these types of threads work wonders giving you an impression of whats out there
but if you got some special interest then
searching on google for
<what ever> pocketpc
like
paint pocketpc
often works wonders pocketpc in one word works better with google then
windows mobile because it's 2 words and having windows in any search give way
too many pc windows hits

This app doesn't seem to be supported on the X1. Did you use an install from a different phone? I think it looks pretty cool, and I'd love to use it, but no amount of google searching is providing me with the answer here.

I have got navigation software on my X1 and I often use it for navigation during the trip to a new place. It saves me money on buying a new navigator and saves me another carrier. Isn't is cool?

I wish that opera would just go away. It is a clunky and impossible to use web browser that serves no purpose other than to divide the competition against MS.
And now wow, they threw in a web server.... in violation of the terms of service of 99% of ISPs. *GOOD MOVE!!!* (thats sarcasm in case you missed it)

What the hell is wrong with you? Internet Explorer, especially for WM, SUCKS! Opera Mobile and Mini are super fast, and very usable, even on my old HTC Touch.
While I prefer Safari to Opera on my desktop (I do like Opera more on Windows though), Opera for Windows Mobile is the best browser I've used on Windows Mobile.

yeh, opera mini is pretty good stuff to use with WM!

Hey Bro.
Opera starts since 1997 .
Tell Mozilla to beat that .
Opera created tabs, session managers and mouse gestures which IE and Netscape didnt have during that time.
Have you guys tried the opera:config hack? (on desktop)
Type that in the address bar.
Go to performace and change everything to 9999 except for HTTP error strategy.
Sometimes the hack might revert back to 1 , so if you find your opera slowing down, go back and do the hack again.
