Pocket Browser on HPC2000

oh yeah that RETR erorr... i think its not OS specific, i got that error on my desltop PC. i was able to download the same message on the jornada 720 which the PC couldnt ))
i dont have any idea whats this error...

1. You have probably posted your registered exe version, so it was asking for registration code. After I downloaded a new version from HandanGo I was able to run it.

2. It installed on may CF but reported errors: "Can not save the file" or something similar. I assume that it was not able to create the history file, cookies file etc. In fact there were no files created after first running it - as it was the case when I installed it to main memory.

I have an additional question: When I go to yahoo.com it redirects me to yahoo.mobile - optimized for mobile phones. I assume that a similar tweak in registry (as Tweaks2k2 for IE6) would help. Anyone tried this?

yes, its the same with me... that it cant save some file. thanks for the suggestion, i ll try to install it in the main memory to see if there is any change in functionality.

about the registry tweak question: i just looked in the registry and found this key:

HKCU/Software/access.co.jp/netfront3/BrowserPref/
CustomUAName
Mozilla/4.0 (PDA; Windows CE/1.0.0) NetFront/3.0

we could rewrite that...

yeah!! ive got 50 posts and am a factor fanatic

btw, vjurkas, i see you are from slovenia. im from hungary not so far... is it?

I have replaced/entered as suggested by PC Counselor:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Q312461; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)

Absolutely no change. Yahoo still redirects me to their mobile page. I am afraid that it is burned into the code somewhere. I will need a TCP sniffer for another problem and I'll also take a look at what NetFront is sending out - unless I have the solution before

Ljubljana is about 180 km away from Hungarian border (and I'll be promoted to a Fanatic soon )

hey dudes, dun forget about your MIPs friend here!! ... I'm still struggling with PIE4.01 !!!

uh-huh. i have no idea then you can use pie for yahoo, or can't you? i don't use yahoo, only yahoo groups sometimes, so i don't know. i can log in the yahoo groups with netfront, no mobile version, no nothing. it's surely different with yahoo mail..

have you ever been to Budapest?

Snappy: i haven't been able to find the mips install yet. i'll notice you when i get it.

Hi Snappy, what is the problem with MIPS? Do you want to tell that there is no MIPS version of NetFront at all? How about Sigmarion - is that a MIPS or something-else-device? If I remember correctly, there was a Sigmarion version of NetFront .

yes, there are a MIPS version. only we don't know how to get it. more exactly, i know someone who has it, but hasn't received a reply from him yet.

the sigmarion III is arm (xscale) the older sigmarions are mips

ya ... me with my MP790 and its MIPs proc!! Frankly I develop apps for win32, wince, palm, including servers and stuffs before, and from what I see from the tools for wince (eVC3.0), there isn't that much to the different processors, esp if its for a common OS like HPC2000. The OS would have the libs to translate the calls to actual CPU-specific bin code or something ya? All that most developers have to do is select "Batch build" and viola ... you get the release build for all the selected cpus!!!

I wish developers would bother to just build for MIPS more ...

but I guess building the app is one thing ... and potentially the easier part once you get the code out. Maintaining and fixing bugs for the various h/w platforms requires the developer (one with conscience) to have test devices and it means having a test team or separate test team for each device. So I guess its the after-sales support that drains on the vendors.

hey, how about if we start a poll on the number of users willing to spend say $25 or more for NetFront 3.1 to run on MIPs? If we get to 50 or 100, maybe we can send the petition list to Access and get them to do a build for NetFront on MIPS??

alright ... got carried away with my rant!

good idea.

i just want to ask: netfront 3.0 or 3.1?? i haven't been able to get 3.1 to work, it's only 3.0 3.1 looks much different if i look in the exe file (no mfcce300.dll, for example!). of course that doesn't mean anything... at least i hope so
but 3.0 is ok too )

YO! I was thinking about the same (to be honest, I did not have MIPS in mind...) I sent couple of questions (including the one about HPC2K plans) to the Access people. When they come with answers, I can launch the idea. I will ask them what is the minimum number of users that the HPC2K/ARM/MIPS build makes sense.

"I will ask them what is the minimum number of users that the HPC2K/ARM/ MIPS build makes sense."

oh YEAH!!
please do ask them
they're already developing netfront for so many platforms aren't they?... hpcs shouldn't be a problem at all..
