iplayer help TMobile... - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

hi guys, this is my first post, and im looking for some help please!
i am trying to watch windows iplayer.
my htc hd2 is on tmobile.
i have sussed how to get my device recognised "opera:config" then change the phone identity to "HTC_Touch_HD_T8282"
my phone is now recognised.
the problem i have now is that when i click on a program to watch, the following message appears
"we do not currently support bbc iplayer outside the united kingdom"
i am within the uk, and im trying to access via wifi... and suggestions?
chris

correction *bbc iplayer !

Hi Chris, try entering "sgh-i900" (without the quotes) in the "custom user-agent" field within "user prefs". This works for me. Also you might want to try myplayer which you can download via this forum or through a Google search.
This is an excellent piece of software, which as well as allowing access to iplayer also allows you to download programs directly to your device and gives access to a range of different multimedia services such as itvplayer, Hulu, MSNplayer and Five on demand.

Download MyPlayer!! I dont have a link but search for it on the forums, its awesome.

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:
T-Mobile LIES! said:
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
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

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/do=
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
http://t-mobile.sky.com/default.asp
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?

How to access college wifi with user name & password??

Ok so they give us a password to connect to the wifi, then from there if you are on a laptop then browser automatically opens and you input a user name and password...this then connects you. I'm not too sure how to do this on my Jasjar, do i manually configure? How? Where do i input username and password because the browser doesnt automatically open for me. We are trying to connect using phones, iphones, and my ppc. How do I connect??
Thanks for reading.
Do you know what kind of authentication used in your school? It's 802.1x? Do you have to install a certificate? Try to find out more information...
Open a good browser(say opera) and try opening any site on it. This is most likely the case. You'll be auto-directed to the page where you can input the user-id and password
I have similar problem.
The VPN solution that is used needs users to authenticate via xauth, which is not supported by WM.
Does anyone have a good proposal for a client to use?
If there's no free solution I don't (really) care about the costs.

@ loiz
Thanks for the links
I tried to find some proper software myself, but apparently i did something really wrong!
The decription of the NCP Tool looks promising, as it should include everything I need. I'll give it a try (could take some days) and tell whether I've been lucky or not...
I downloaded Opera so i will try with that tomorrow...I cant understand German so i cant understand that link and cant download. Will see with Opera anyway, thanks.

You don't need to
First, on the german version of the NCP homepage youget to the downloads by clicking Downloads, then choosing Software, then the Client, that's also named english
If you can't figure out how to set up he account needed in german, just click on the little American flag in the upper right of the screen
It's present on the homepage and the downloads page.
The second link is just an instruction anyway, except for the link to the SecureW2 Client. You should find the (english) homepage of that via google. You don't need to bother downloading that if the authentication method isn't 802.11.
Thanks mate, but I tried with Opera and it works!!! Now to find a way to access msn!!

You can allways use online live messenger http://mobile.live.com/pocketpc/
Been looking for a way to get it to work at college as well.
Have got no idea what do cause we use certificates here, have one on my ppc and installed it (on sd as well as the device).
Got practically everything filled out except when selecting a certificate i get the message that there is none.
Been trying to consult the It-services desk but they have no experience whit this.
Do you have any idea which steps i should take?
Thanks in advance
Online messengers are blocked also, they use some burst filtering software or something, will check to see if i can find an unblocked site. Would be great if there was a way to allow everything. Thanks lads.

No Vodafone Live/You Tube app

As most people will know; VF left out this application.
I am told this is because VF believe that business users dont like entertainment (!) and therefore wouldnt use it. Also, that WM phones dont 'do wap'. Can that be right? I am sure my old Omnia had VF Live on it.
Anyway, I think in order for me to get Sky Sports Mobile TV, I need to access it through the VF Live WAP portal.
Anyone know if this has been sorted for us on these forums? I found one vodafone live .cab but that didnt work and just mucked up my connection settings (unless I did something wrong).
This phone also doesnt have the YouTube app (it's entertainment again you see). A VGA .cab of that would be good too
Thanks

WM phone do support WAP and can be accessed from the Touch Pro on the vodafone network. However, you can not get onto the Vodafone Live Website due to the fact that their servers do not recognise the phone browser and therefore defaults to the vodafone live page that is accessed from your desktop. To my knowledge there is no work around for this.
I believe that if you change the user agent of opera or internet explorer to that of a supported mobile phone, you are then able to view the vf live wap portal pages.
Sadly, i don't know the user agent of a supported phone, but I'm sure something like a Nokia N95 would be compatible.
obviously, we would now need to find the user agent string for that device and try that.....
Apparently the N95 user agent string is...
Mozilla/5.0 (SymbianOS/9.2; U; Series60/3.1 NokiaN95/11.0.026; Profile MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1) AppleWebKit/413 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/413
I have got it working, but you have to create another connection with the following settings
Make an internet connection,
use cellular line GPRS 3G
Access Point NAME: wap.vodafone.co.uk
username: wap
Password: wap
then for this connection you need to setup a proxy.
Http: 212.183.137.12:8799
weird that vodafone does something like this!
Here in the netherlands if I go to the vodafone site they say proudly that ya can use youtube as well!
I have a ( general) TP without a simlock...no I had the youtube app pre-installed. With vodafone as my current provider it works great...

Thanks for the responses. Unfortunately you lost me at "User String".
But on a positive it looks like I can get this up and running. Could you kindly guide me through it (the Mozilla bit not the connection settings).
Do I install it as obviosuly my Touch Pro doesnt have it.
Thanks!
I just flashed my UK voda TP with the ROMeOS ROM and the youtube app works perfectly, no need to adjust any settings, (unlike T-mob)

In Opera you need to type "opera:config" into the address bar....
Then select the option that appears in the navigation window.
Scroll down to "User prefs" and select it....
Scroll down to "Custom User Agent" and type the text string above into the box
Scroll down the page and choose "Save"....
Now when you try to access live.vodafone.com using the wap settings mentioned you should be able to access the Live portal....Haven't tried watching Sky TV etc, so don't know how well that works.....

Would you post the exact link to it please? Did you have to do any CID/app unlock shennigans first!?
@ice-coffee:
I'm the same. I'm thinking of flashing my ROM. Is it possible to backup the current ROM if all goes Pete Tong?
I've never flashed a ROM, scares me a bit and want to do it!
where do I start?
Thanks!

We're at the same place. I'm carefully reading this...

Hiya
You know what, having read all that, I think I'm gonna try and get the Youtube app working on the device with the VF Rom left exactly as it is.
I'm up for tweaking plenty, but I also need to rely on this as a phone and messaging device, and can't afford one crash or fail really.

I tried that. But VF removed the straeming media app as well. Also no VF Live so no mobile TV.
Thats ALOT of tweaking.
Hmm, OK. rock and hard place!
I'm going to try and will let you know if I can get it working. I really don't fancy the idea of flashing and installing 1000 tweaks/apps that my device doesn't need.

Remote..

A mate of mine has App called I-remote for the Iphone (you may have to google it because it won't let me post any outside links)
I have searched everywhere i can think of with no luck.. so i was wondering if any of you know of something like this for the HD2?
Many thanks in advance..

I don't know who that us.
(said in a Brian Butterfield voice).
I'm assuming it allows you to remotely control your phone. If that's the case then you want the excellent MyMobiler from http://www.mymobiler.com/
Alternatively, you may be asking to remote a PC from your phone. For that, you want Remote Desktop, which comes with the device.
It's better than a box!
(said in a Brian Butterfield voice).
PS. If you don't know who Brian Butterfield is, look for him on YouTube
Actually, I've google for it and see what it is now, and it's neither of the above. (You should still look up Brian Butterfield though )
A similar app exists on xda somewhere, so I'm sure that someone will be able to point you in the right direction. I can't remember what it's called though, so I can't help
I think this should suit your needs...
http://www.mobilesrc.com/mobileremote.aspx
I get there in the end
Thanks for the reply... i've seen that one.....(i may just get it anyway) My pc is just a media server, which is hooked to to my TV, All i want to be able to do is access my Music over my Network via my phone without the need to have the TV on.
I can see why you got that app now (after a search) use this search string in google and choose the top link "apple itunes remote" that will give you the software i was on about..
Okay, I get what you're after now (this thread has turned into an archive of "remote" apps! lol)
You can do this with VLC and this...
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vlcremote/
I don't know of any that control iTunes, but I wouldn't imagine you want something specific to an Apple product on a Windows device, so I'm guessing that VLC will be good enough for your needs.
Hope this helps
Cheers matie... I don't use i tunes... just windows media player....
I did find this alloysoft.com but just looking to see if it will run on the HD2 (winmo 6.5) ...
You need "1-2 Remote" (http://www.sfr-software.de/12remoteen/) It interfaces with your itunes and WM player. I use it myself. Very good prog.
Cheers
Also, check out G-Remote - very simple remote for XBMC, WinAmp, or an other program in a sexy(ish) interface!
What makes it stand out for me is that you can browse your music/videos on your PHONE, click play, and it launches on the PC.
