Does anyone know how to change the IE user agent string in crossbow? It seems the old way of doing it no longer works. This is how i used to do it in WM5 http://www.hpcfactor.com/support/cesd/s/0122.asp
I perfer to set my browser to look like IE6 running on Win2000 or XP so certan sites like www.google.com dont detect browser version and redirect you do their "lite" version of the site. PocketIE is perfectly capable of rendering the full site, and thats what i want to load.
I am currently on a search for getting access to wells fargo w/ WM6 and ran across this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=300378&highlight=USER+AGENT
Don't know if that will help you or not.

I am in need of assistance related to my IE on Pocke PC. I have a T-Mobile MDA with WM6.1 For Wizard OS 5.2.19209 buit 19209 WWE. My issue is that with this rom, I am not able to access my Wells Fargo bank account via IE. I get a message that the IE version that I am using is not supported.....blah..blah..blah. I was previously using the TNT.19199 Series V.2 (Offcial/Professional/TouchFLO) WM 6.1 Real Port and was able to access my account. I have tried other roms were this issue is present and others such as XM6r3, XM6r4 were they are not. I compared the different applications installed on these rooms (java) and cannot find a solution. Any assistance or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Wells is picky about what browsers they allow. They require at least IE 5.5, IIRC, and the numbers have to be valid versions of IE. (for example, "6.0" works, but 6.2 doesn't, since there's no IE 6.2.)
The solution is to edit your registry to make the phone's User Agent say 6.0. This was easier in the pre-WM5 AKU3 days, since the UA is now hard-coded in IE, and you can only add to the existing UA- not replace it with your own.
With a reg editor, go to HKLM/Security/Internet Explorer and add a string value called "Custom" with the value "MSIE 6.0". This might trick WF into believing you're using IE 6. If not, you'd have to use a different browser that allows UA editing (like NetFront.)
Alternately, you can use their new WAP site (www.wf.com), but it doesn't offer much functionality yet (just account balances, recent transactions, transfers, and a Wells Fargo location lookup- Bill Pay is supposedly coming "soon.") On the bright side, the WAP site is MUCH faster if all you need to do is see your balance, check if a check cleared, or transfer some money from one account to another. I often use it on my desktop for a quick balance check instead of the "real" Wells site!
I use ATT Tilt. How can I change Opera Mini 4 User Agent ID/String so I can view sites like yahoo like on my computer. The User Agent ID tells websites that I am using a pda so the sites automatically send their mobile versions instead of the real thing.
Thanks
You can't. I've posted a lot on this issue in the official Opera Mini forum; check out my posts.
Thanks for the reply but I found a solution after a few minutes of searching. I remembered using anonymous proxy surfing a few years ago. Right now, there are tons of them. Some free and some paid anon surfing sites. This one is free and hides the user agent string: http://www.guardster.com/subscription/proxy_free.php
Yahoo, gamespot, and others work great now with opera mini 4. Guardster anon doesn't get in the way too much since its a small strip on top of the page. load times are fast. one thing to remember though, you will get proxy error if you leave spaces after the url.
Bye.
try to type :
opera:config
in the URL field...
I know it work on Opera 8 and 9... but i don't know on the JAVA version...
doesn't work in opera:config
Has anyone found which registry key need to be changed ?
My browser keep sending "ie mobile 7.11"
Thanks!
Not sure what you are referring to. Do you mean the home page on internet explorer or that it always chooses the mobile version of web pages vs normal desktop page?
UserAgent is the string sent by the browser to any visited website.
In my case, I'd like to set this string to the same value as on the SPV C500 (Orange cellphone) to be allowed to visit Orange portal (and use their video content and stuff)
That I haven't encountered before. Could just be the device name in the settings menu but it might be something else.
MobileConfig I have Beta Version 1.3 and you can change it there.
Good Luck
thanks Mark, I'll give a try (but i'm a bit sceptical as your program is from Mar. 2007... And I tried to change the useragent string in the usual registry locations with no luck)
Switcher for Opera Mobile 9.X and Opera Mobile 10
Both versions downloadable at the end of this blog-article.
http://blog.is-a-geek.org/?p=1379
Useragents for:
A1
Vodafone
iPhone
DefaultEN
DefaultDE
Firefox
Delete
Added 3
Download is at the end of the article. If the icons doesnt show up do a softreset.
OUASW2 for Opera Mobile 9.X just changes the regkeys.
OUASW2 for Opera Mobile 10 changes the opera.ini file.
You can install both parallel.
More Useragents and ManilaInterface in version 3 hopefully if i find enough time
For the next version please post the useragents of your branded phones.
To find your Useragent you can use the OUABackup.
OUABackup - Backup and restore your useragent
It will place a file on your SD Card with your useragent.
With this little app it is also possible to restore the useragent.
For Opera 9.x and 10.
Cab and noinstall exe file available here as attachment.
If you backup twice it will overwrite the old backup file.
Please share your useragent and the provider of your branded phone!
If you want to support me just visit my blog http://blog.is-a-geek.org and click some ads if u are interested.
Nice feature! Thanks!
What benefits give your modifications except other icon? Opera will be identified like desktop Firefox for example?
exactly or as iphone
i made this because i had problems to view the vodafone live portal because u need the user agent of a branded phone
Thats awesome! If this mod can prevent viewing mobile versions of some sites, then i can say this is one "must have" app! Thank you.
Sorry to sound like a noob...
It's not very often something goes right over my head, but can some one please explain what this is exactly?
Sounds interesting..
it just changes a setting for opera.
the user agent entry tells the server/webpage if its a firefox,ie,opera .....
for some pages there are different versions of pages ae mobile versions, iphone versions ...
its also a problem to view the vodafone portal without the correct user agent
got it! cheers
working on version 2
please send me some branded user agents with provider and location thank you
Interesting little app,
Was wondering if you could add iPad agent? - as I understand that gmail has a nice looking interface for ipad's and was wondering what it would look like on the HD2 (If it works at all as I think is HTML5)
UA is,,
Mozilla/5.0(iPad; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Mobile/7B314 Safari/531.21.10
More info here http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2010/04/google-services-on-ipad-and-tablet.html
Hi Chal.
Well done for creating this useful App. I will give it a try. What is the 'Delete' icon for?
will look into it but i think opera mobile isnt supporting html5
soooooo need more useragents
The delete icon just leaves the user agent blank
Does this work with Opera Mobile 10?
sorry for the late reply
it does not work with version 10
im using version 10 too now so next week i will post the same cab for version 10
on my blog
thank you. using it with opera mobile 10 and theres no problem so far
Save active User agent
Hi, it's a useful tool.
Is it possible to add a functionality that save the active User Agent in a shortcut ?
Fo example my active user fo SFR in France is (Vodafone/1.0/HTC_HD2/1.44.163.3 (70494) Opera/9.7 (Windows NT 5.1;U;fr), is it possible to save it on a shortcut automaticaly, switch to Iphone user agent and come back to the previous saved one ?
Thx for you'r answer
Hello,
Nice mod, sound interesting. Downloading & will test it.
BTW, and sorry for getting off topic, In the second snapshot I see you have Firefox for WM installed. I've searched everywhere for it & came out with nothing. Can you please share the cab?
Thanks in advance.
it is possible to make a little app to save the useragent
if i have enough time i will post it next week
if it makes some kind of backup file on the storage card it can be useful for rom upgrades too. and maybee people can post the file to get more useragents for the switcher
i dont have ff installed
its just the icon to use the firefox useragent with opera
the firefox for wm is called "fennec"
cab should be here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-touch-pro/57272-fennec-official-release-get-cab-here.html

Dear All,
I'm looking for a proxy software to bypass the filtered sites in my location for Windows Mobile 6.5 (I have HTC HD2).
It will be great if I can find any
Kinds,
me having same problem
Filtered sites? On the www??! Are you in China? Well I guess so..
Well though I'm not using Mozilla Firefox Mobile, I would use it in conjunction with a proxy addon if I were in your situation.
Or start to use any other browser that your standard browser, which is in my humble opinion SET to 'filter pages' in the first place. I could be wrong here though..
Success,
yes we are some where like china.
your answer doesn't helps bro.
isn't here any body for help?
Hi there,
There is an app called Tor for android, search if it is also available for windows phone. It is good for proxy.
