Hi
I have created (using Google Gears)
http://wtp2.appspot.com/mobile/mobile.htm
Press Select then About for info, be patient on first load whilst the app is stored to Gears repository.
This mobile site is a partner to my desktop UK outdoor pursuits route planning site at http://wtp2.appspot.com/wheresthepath.htm
The mobile site works OK ish on my HTC Touch HD (WinMo 6.1 pro). However from time to time, especially after powering off with GPS watch on, I end up with a blank page. I suspect that the Java Script engine has stopped. All generally comes right with a hard exit and restart of Opera 9.7 (beta 35166). Oh and the effects of rotating the screen are particularly poor.
I would be interested to find out how well the site works on other HTC phones or if anyone knows some tips for helping Opera Mobile 9.7 to keep running.
Thanks.

I was browsing Youtube for things having to do with Windows Mobile, when I came across that comparison video between the Iphone and Windows Mobile. One of the topics was "widgets", and for the Iphone half, the Iphone "home" screen was shown, while for the WM section, a nice, slick looking application used to view photos from Flickr and search Wikipedia was shown, at 2:19 in the video. Any one have an idea/link to that application? Sure would be nice to play with on my phone
yeah i know... having the same problem.... the other thing i saw was a cool web browser which allowed u to drag the page around.... anyone know what its called.....

The application is called Widsets, it runs on Java.
https://www.widsets.com/index
Free and works with midlet manager on Wizard.
This widset is very interesting.. I wonder why is it in such a low profile in the xda-dev world.
thanks for the link, i'm gonna play around with WidSets and see how it goes. by the way,
@sean.t.oleary
you may have been talking about the Picsel Browser that was taken from a Samsung phone and now works on other WM Phones. Do a Search for it, it's here at xda-dev.
@hanmin
i agree, i thought i would find this fairly easily on these forums, but i didn't find a thing
Tried installing widsets - it forced me to install the jad for the iPaq hx4600 which doesnt seem to work right on my ppc (i730). Anyone have a different jad I can try?
SubliMobi RSS Reader
Have you tried SubliMobi RSS Reader (http://www.sublimobi.com) ? It
works on my mobile and it's free.
Widsets on Orbit
Has anyone tried Widsets on XDA Orbit yet? Mine just shows a blank screen.
They show that there is around 50% success with Orbit https://www.widsets.com/devices
just tested on my herald and it is running quite smoothly.
This is another one of my multi-site threads, allright now lets get started with my claims. I will start with talking about the very first version of opera mobile ive ever used, it was 8.5.x it loaded the PC versions of every site BUT it would often cry low memory and then crash and it would also not display text right (larger than normal even with settings on minimum) and when i would type it would input large spaces in between words and yet we were expected to pay $29.99 for it (were they crazy?).
Now that i am on my HTC touch pro which comes with opera 9.5 preinstalled it runs pretty stable but there are still problems.
-it cries low memory even tho i have plenty of RAM free and then stops loading a webpage.
-regular links dont respond when i click them unless i do it about after 20 times or so
-mobile site redirects (but this is fixed with the UA hacks)
-rendering problems on sites, certain boxes dont pop up (ie. facebook friend request dialogs.),cant respond to messages on myspace.com or compose new ones, this means i cant do a new browse when away from the computer.opera officials and tech bloggers cite that opera mobile has excellent ajax and web standards support tho my experience is quite the opposite.
-when typing the screen does not scroll over as i type.
-CANT even close it or access it from the task manager unless you do some hacking.
-links sometimes dont respond unless i pull out stylus or press on it multiple times.
-CANT render the frames on my schools student websites properly (ie blackboard NOTE: PIE does this perfectly)
-CRASHES when trying to access ppcgeeks.com
I've also tried most of the opera 9.7 betas and its improved all issues I've had with opera 9.5 except:
-mobile site redirects are worse even with the UA hacks
-screen corruption problems when i recieve a text message, email or IM
-tap and hold menus sometimes dont work
-still cant send messages on myspace and other networking sites
now we are at opera 10 the latest beta suffers these problems
-memory hog
-graphics on sites are pixelated
-does not play nice with OzIM
-mobile redirects are solved with UA hacks tho i would like to see them resolved without having to do this.
-STILL cannot send messages on myspace and tagged.com but at least can send friend requests and access notifications on facebook so thats an improvement.
-when typing with the touch screen, the type cursor moves back to the top line which causes me to have to use the hardware keyboard when typing 2 line messages.
WHY cant they get it right? the iris browser does not suffer these problems only thing i dont like about it is theres no text reflow when zooming in IM not giving them any of my $$$ until all these problems are resolved and also if it will have flash support. has anyone found other issues other than those i have reported? and is there a build of opera mobile that does not suffer these issues, if so can i have a link to it?
Sorry to hear you had such bad experience
On mine, Opera Mobile 10 b2 is working great and I´m so happy with it
The new tab selection is just great!
You seem to be having a great many problems, most of which i have not sufferered on any of my devices (diamond, topaz, HD2)
Im currently using opera 10b2 and its working very well.
sometimes i get the "not scrolling as im entering text" problem, and on a rare occasion i have trouble with redirects. but the majority of the time opera performs as i would expect
Maybe you could give more examples of sites you have trouble with and detail the problem. for example you mentioned PPCgeeks crashing but not what the crash was?
I have just visited PPCG and it rendered fine, i clicked a few links and it has all worked as expected prehaps the problems are specific to the version of opera you are running?
It may also be worth reporting your bugs direct to opera, it will allow them to better address shortcomings in their product in the future.

well the crashes on ppcgeeks only occur in 9.5. the rendering problems I have are with ajax for example on the full facebook site I can't comment on status updates or send friend requests because the ajax boxes don't pop up. it works a lot better in version 10 but still not as good as iris or skyfire browser and WOW I just discovered something else. I went to the official opera forums and I couldn't even answer any threads because the reply forms wouldn't appear. the bug report form also didn't appear. that's a shame when a browser doesn't support its own site.
Get the new Netfront. Works fine and highly recommended

Would agree with Orb, using Opera 10 beta 2 and having no issues with it.
Opera 9.7 and 10 both can not render Hotmail right ( when in desktop view ). You can not reply to messages or compose new ones. You just can't type in the message body field. Opera should attend this problem, since it seems like the problem has been out there for a long time.
[APP] [1st Feb 2010] Aloqa 2.0: Finaly FREE & GREAT location-based info app for WM !!
Finally a wonderful location application is available for Windows Mobile. Android & iPhone already had a whole bunch of those applications (Sherpa, Where, Places Directory...)!
Basically, this application tells you instantly every interesting locations near you (cinemas, restaurants, bars & a lot more). It even gives you in-depth look at the given locations (description, reviews, address, phone number). Once you choose a location, you can show it on google maps or automatically make a phone call.
This app is not only convenient, it's also beautiful, slick, quick, finger-friendly and most importantly: free. You can download it from Microsoft marketplace (really?) or through the official website (http://aloqa.com/)
Only downside is that it only works in some countries USA, UK, Austria & Germany...
Watch these videos to learn more:
Official video (funnily in the video, it seems like an iPhone diss, but actually Aloqa is available on WM, iPhone and Android )
Video from Pocketnow
Video from from WM Poweruser (tested on HTC HD2)
Official website
I've tried it but I am having trouble with it. It crashes because I never have WiFi enabled and it tries to enable it on its own... maybe it's an issue with 6.5.x
Forgot to mention that when I finally got it working once, it was really nice indeed. Picked all the cinemas around me with the films and language, really nice
How do you zoom out? Appears you can't scroll around on the HD2, so categories cannot be added.
It's a great and very useful app but it crashes every time after it loads up... i installed it twice yet to end up with the same unfortunate result.
I'm trying to get the Javascript on this page:
http://alexking.org/projects/js-quicktags/demo/index.html
To work on Opera Mobile 10+. But it doesn't seem to work because Opera sets complete focus on the text area so buttons can't be clicked.
On IE it works fine, but that doesn't have tabs, so no use to me.
Are there any Opera settings I can change for this?
OK, solved this myself. Latest Opera Mobile won't work with this, but the installed default on HD2 will.
Moved as not software release.
So I have an HD7 from Tmobile and downloaded Mango 7720 last night. Everything seems like its working perfectly but one problem I am having is with IE9 and HTML5 mobile sites. If I navigate to m.bing.com or m.google.com or even mobile youtube I get the old standard mobile sites NOT the html5 mobile versions. Navigating to Bing mobile is especially bad, I cant even see the full menu of bing services. Does anyone else have this issue? I'm just curious to know if anyone else has this issue before I try to reinstall the update.
Anyone? Maybe the sites don't recognize the browser. Not sure what it is but some people claim these sites come up fine on their phones (except for youtube mobile).
Same here. Weird. Maybe they need some time to integrate Mobile IE9 user-agent code?
However 'enhanced' mobile Facebook works well (touch.facebook.com)

Yes, touch facebook works nicely! Hopefully they impliment the user-agent code soon. I guess since Mango is not officially released they havent implemented it yet.
I'm still having this problem with my HTC Titan running Mango 7740. Surely these sites recognise the ie9 useragent now. Though i'm sure that other Mango users aren't still having this issue, i can't work it out!
Don't worry, you're not alone. Google is a major culprit for me. Its almost impossible to get the newer looking mobile site on my phone, instead it looks like the old barebones mobile site. *shudder*
This is not because IE9 does not support HTML5. It is because your website preference is set to mobile or viceversa.
E.g. if you goto google.com with Desktop mode, you will be presented a majorly cut down HTML google version. However, if you visit with Mobile Profile, you will be presented the HTML5 version
Not even the facebook is that good in my opinion, there are some visual artefacts visible.
Same with dropbox.
And it is missing "swiping" functionality. For example, mobile.theverge.com, you have to tap the small dots, instead of just swiping to the next story.
It's not the mobile/desktop setting. I can actually get to the mobile sites (incl. google) but they all look awful. m.facebook.com goes to the oldschool html4 mobile site. touch.facebook.com goes to the html5 mobile site but it's quite broken and not slick. m.google.com has plain text hyperlinks along the top instead of the graphical tabs seen on other mobile OS's.
I guess it's just a trade-off between having a lovely looking OS and Apps, and not having a decent view of mobile web apps.
