Changing Pocket Outlook's User Agent - Networking

Hi,
Is there a registry key / another setting somewhere / a little program/CAB that I can use to change Pocket Outlook's user agent to the same one as Pocket IE?
As for the Why would you want to do that / You're dumb PO is not a browser:
I have a contract with unlimited data for my phone. Of course, unlimited data = unlimited HTTP(S) and nothing else. However everything is working nicely, web browsing with PIE, Opera Mobile (after changing UA), Google Maps, Weather, Exchange 2007 Sync, ...
BUT when I get HTML messages that do not embed pictures but link to them, I get the "Internet pictures blocked" message. Then if I click to download the pictures (from within PO), nothing happens when I'm on 3G. But it works perfectly on Wifi. And I can access the image with PIE.
User agents sent out are:
FOR PIE:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 7.6) Vodafone/1.0/SFR_v3650/1.25.163.3
FOR PO:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; PPC)
So I strongly suppose the UA is the cause of my problem. Of course, I welcome any other suggestion. My operator is SFR, with the "Pass Web 2.0" option.

Please help me registry gods

Hotmail on Universal

Browser - Opera 8.5 beta
Device - Qtek 9000
Connection - GPRS T-mobile
Location - USA
For some reason, when using GPRS, going to hotmail, it takes me to msnmobile instead of the regular hotmail webpage despite using Opera.
Not only that, it doesn't take me to the mobile hotmail page, even after I log on.
Anybody knows a solution around it?
Tried searching for hotmail but nothing came up that provided me with the solution.
Actually Opera does not offer a user-configurable User-Agent to enable identification of Opera as IE6 so you are forced to mobile websites.
A work around which I did is as follows:-
1) Open your usual hotmail site on your windows xp computer.
2) When the site has fully opened the address bar on your windows xp web browser will look something like this (http://by20fd.bay20.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/hmhome? *******)
3) Copy and paste this entire address to a word document on your windows xp computer and save the word document.
4) Using active sync transfer this word document from your windows xp computer to your pocket pc and open with Word Mobile
5) Run Opera on your PPC and copy and paste the address from your word mobile document to the address bar in the opera window.
6) Press the go button and the website will display.
7 Now you can save the open website as one of your Favourites and this way you will not have to follow the entire procedure each time you want to go to the hotmail site.
It works for me and hope it does for you sas well.
Kind Regards
nope, still automatically redirects to mobile.msn.com
Really frustrating! :evil:
Okay go to the mobile MSN account as opera would take you. Then enter your username and password and log in. Also click the radio button for opera to remember both the username and password i.e. the uppermost radio button. Exit opera then retry the procedure in my above post.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
try adding a new section to the opera.ini file in \Application Data\Opera :
[User Agent]
Spoof UserAgent ID=1
Full options are:
Opera = 1
Mozilla = 2
Internet Explorer = 3
Mozilla, no Opera mention = 4
Internet Explorer, no Opera mention = 5
Let me know

Thanks for the info
YES! It works. Changing the User Agent file does allow it to go to the regular hotmail webpage. Don't forget to soft reset.
FYI, I'm using the Opera 8.5 beta on my Qtek 9000.
Google.com still doesn't work on GPRS though. Works great when connected to PC via Activesync....just not through GPRS.
One other thing I need to mention also, after adding the User Agent to the ini file, the top bar where the address and all the icons are, have a background issue. The icons and the address bar all show up fine, but just the background is a little messed up. Nothing you can't live with.
Thanks again Aefelix.
aefelix
Thx, will try that now...
I noticed something though, i normally use WAP over GPRS to browse, i tried it and it didn't work (copy hotmail link and paste it).
But then when i was hooked up via WIFI, it worked on PIE without changing any setting!
How could that be? :shock: :?
Jamps...
I've also noticed that when I use Wi-Fi, hotmail works just fine.
But please do try AeFelix's fix and see if it works for you too.
Hi Aefelix,
Tried modifying the Opera.ini by adding the User Agent section as advised.
Now it takes me to the regular hotmail login page and allows log in as well. But after log in none of the links such as Mail, Calendar, etc appear to work. So I cannot actually go beyond the page which appears after the log in is through.
Anybody else experienced this and any suggestions??
Kind Regards

MIME "Accept" types for all types of Universal??

Hi all,
I've recently been playing with a Vodafone V1640 (I understand that this is what Vodafone UK will be selling their Universal as), and have an issue that I'm hoping you guys can help me solve.
Basically, I'm surfing some of my websites using the WAN connection. Now, all these sites are coded in XHTML, yet when viewed with this V1640, it seems that the sites won't look as intended. Actually, it may work for a couple of page visits, and then it stops displaying the stylesheets.
After looking at the MIME "Accept" types sent to the web server by various PDAs and PC browsers, I *think* the problem may be due to the accept type that this V1640 is sending, ie "application/xhtml+xml". Strictly speaking, this is the correct content_type that should be sent back to the PDA by any web server hosting XHTML pages, but because MSIE doesn't support this MIME type properly, it's an issue a lot of web developers seem to be having at the moment when hosting sites on MS/IIS web servers.
Now, what I wanted to know is, can people with Universals from different networks report back as to what "Accept" types are being sent from your PDA to a web server? I want to establish whether the browser on this V1640 is at fault by not also sending an "Accept" type of "*/*" like most other PDAs I've come across - and also MSIE for that matter, too.
Any help is really appreciated!!
OK, I've set up a link here for you to visit, so that you can tell me what your Universal is telling the web server what MIME types it accepts:
http://www.macroweb.co.uk/test.aspx
I'm not logging anything here, just displaying, so I'm relying on you posting back here on what you see with your PDA.
TIA

dah, thanks for that! Most appreciated!!
At least in *your* case, it seems I was right about it being similar to a PC's MSIE6.0 .
Can some more people please hit that page? Preferably a Universal from each UK network, so that I can check any differences in their browsers?

Internet Explorer and webpages for mobile devices

Hi,
can someone point me to the registry keys I need to change in order to have Internet Explorer redirect me to the reduced version (for mobile devices) webpages automatically?
After upgrading to wm6 it stopped doing so...
Checking some logs on the server side I used to see:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 4.01; Windows CE ; Xda trion; 240x320)
But now I have:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 6. PPC; 240x320; Xda Trion)
So it always takes me to the the full size webpage...
Any help with the registry keys needed to be changed would be highly appreciated
Thanks in advance
Do you mean the way IE displays the page on your device ("desktop", "default", "single column") or the way if you load some web sites up they automatically display formatted for mobile devices? If your question is regarding the latter, that is down to the way the actual web site is designed and the CSS it uses to format the page (sites like Engadget or The Register detect the browser string and send different CSS stylesheets to the browser depending on whether it's a mobile device or not)...
Hi,
I would say is more regarding to the later.
Some websites receive the headers and can redirect you to a webpage formated to show in mobile devices. But mine is not doing it anymore (it's showing the full webpage).
My question is which registry keys I need to change to achieve it.
thanks for the support
