Force original web page? - General Questions and Answers

Anybody know of any way to force IE mobile to go to the original page instead of the mobile version? I have a htc tilt if it matters. For example, if I go to www.weather.com it automatically goes to the xhtml.weather.com mobile version, and it doesn't give the option to view the original page. I know the page would be quite large, but I'm just using it as an example. Any ideas?

Sky Sports on T-Mobile UK £5 a month - I can't make it work.....HELP!

http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/services/mobile-tv-video-services/mobile-tv/getting-started/
I just want to be able to watch Sky Sports on my HTC Tytn, but for the life of me I can't find either a version of 't-zones; or 'web'n'walk' that has any links to it for me to follow:

There are two ways to access Mobile TV on your phone
Accessing Mobile TV through web'n'walk:
Open up the web'n'walk homepage from the main menu and select the Mobile TV tab at the top of the page
You will then be taken through to a page with three Mobile TV options including T-Mobile TV and Sky Mobile TV. Click on the option you want
Accessing Mobile TV through t-zones:
Open up the t-zones homepage from the main menu and click the Mobile TV icon in the centre of the page

All I can think is that the wap sites recognise my device as not being a mobile, so direct me to the full version, so I can't find the right links??
Anyone know what's going on and how I can get both my sanity back and Skysports???
UPDATE - I've tried the web'n'walk demo on the t-mobile website, with a Nokia N95 you get this:
http://surf.yospace.com/tmobile/wnw/nokian95/
But with the MDA Compact, you don't get the TV or Games tab at the top of the screen.
Is there a way of tricking t-mobile into thinking I'm a phone? I can't imagine that it's because my Vario II can't use the content!
I had this problem after flashing a new rom.
Anyway, the answer to your problem is:
http://10.111.189.31
Type that into you web browser. Sky sports is really good
work for me just t-mobile-favourites.co.uk
im using t-mobile beta rom
t-mobile-favourites.co.uk doesn't work, probably something in the t-mobile ROM that lets it work. I'm using Black Satin. If you're at all registry-savy, perhaps you could have a look through the registry for any T-Mobile keys?
No probs if you can't as that IP address does work.
Thanks guys.
Actually, back-track, that ip address works for the t-mobile live tv, the 3.50 subscription, but not the Sky Sports subscription that's 5.00 a month.
Does anyone have the ip address for that?
cheers.

http://10.111.189.31/servlet/download?p=3Dwnw
thats mine
I get a 404 Not Found error from that one - the url doesn't look complete?
cheers for the edit, but the link still just goes to the t-mobile 3.50 subscription page, not the page that lets you pay 5.00 to watch the Sky Sports channels.
Help!!!
well if i do the £5 1 ill hav to just for going to the page
http://t-mobile-favourites.co.uk/en/mobiletv.jsp
you can choose on thet page
That link just comes up with a page not found error for me.
My head hurts! Why can't these things just work??
I've just tried http://t-mobile.sky.com and thats told me that my handset isn't compatible with Sky Mobile TV! More lies!

sorry try

I only actually got the TV application to work by using either a WM5 Rom, or the T-Mobile Test Rom, by going to the tmobile home page, the option for TV is not in the menu....
Ha ha ha, that gives me the same "Your handset isn't compatible" error page.
Am beginning to think that they don't want my money!!
What ROM are you running and is there any specific references to T-Mobile in your registry? I think I'm missing something that will stop the website identifying my phone the way it is at the moment!
Is there any chance one of you that has it working could export the registry to a file and email it to me so I can have a look at it?
I am using the t-mobile test rom. Before I was using one f the black roms. When it wasn't working for me, I just emailed t-mobile and asked them for the link and they emailed it back to me
What link was that, do you remember it off the top of your head and did you get it to work with the Black ROM?
Sorry it was the link I previously posted. This allowed me to access the tv..
However, after flashing the test rom, the t.v was already set up via web n walk and I was able to then choose Sky.
I think the easiest thing to do, if you really want sky sports is to flash the test rom.
I'm sure you can understand why I don't really want to do that for the sake of a few registry settings, so I think I'll try and find a fix first - I've missed all the weekends football now anyway!
My extended rom contains all the stuff from my WM5 T-Mobile ROM still, so the registry settings I'm after may well be in there.
I have a cab that looks likely, PP_pIESetting_TMUK_050906.cab should I just give this a whirl?
Do you have a similar file in the ext ROM on your device?

two questions about opera

Hey guys, two questions about opera:
1- there is a school website that i visit regularly, and on the homepage you can usually see the most recent posts in the forum. The problem is that i cant see those posts when i go there usuing at&t connection, but they show up fine when i go there on wifi. Whats the difference? Is there something i can change?
2- this is just real annoying...when i go to a page, opera seems to keep moving the window down and to the right while the page is loading. If i double click to zoom in, the window will start moving all over the place. I find myself either waiting for the page to totally stop loading, or manually stopping it. Is anybody else having this problem? Any solutions? Thanks
omar
not sure about your #1, but #2 is basically just annoying quirks in the application. It is still opera beta, so its not perfect yet. If your looking for an alternative you might wanna try skyfire. If you type in get.skyfire.com right in opera you can get a cab for it. That may solve your #1 also since skyfire pre-renders the pages for you and they dont use a proxy like opera does.
Hope that helps.

use HTML to open an app?

HI Folks,
been looking into this for a bit with no joy, so thought it's worth asking if anyone knows if its possible to use a html browser to open an app directly, please read the below and you will see what i am after, basically the idea is to use jakesankey's overlay to navigate m.facebook, but also have the option to use the bottom bar to act as a shortcut to album

It will give you access right back to your chat window at any time. The goal is to get rid of the m.facebook integration and make make it so each window will remain in the same position as it was when you switched to 'chat' and then switched back.. Anyhow, I dont mean to ramble. This is what where I am thus far for anyone with an interest. (simply extract the compressed folder to your computer and open fbook.html to get the idea).. obviously this will not be used to upload photos.
ive been playing with this, it works well with the new omnia build of opera that allows scroll in pan
know this might sound daft, but is there any way to use a html doc to open the Album.exe ?
one of the guys posted the following in the diamond section that allows htc album to upload pics directly to facebook
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469106
don't know if this will work with qvga, but worth a try
i like the idea and have been playing around with it to make it more usable for me, then thought about trying to include a link to the album in the html page, ive included my edit to give you an idea of what im thinking but the code is beyond me
many thanks for any help or advice
Chris
anyone have any ideas?
So, if I understand you right, what you want to do is open an application on your phone (a .exe file) when clicking a link in a webpage?
Because that does work perfectly fine (at least on my htc wing with WinMo 6 and PIE). All you need to do is make the link point to the application:
Code:
A link
The above example will open the Images&Videos application when clicking the link for example. Hope that's what you were after.
