textmode - bugs reports and suggestions topic Page 4

said by usa2k :

I am beginning to use Mobile 5.0 with IE on a Dell Axim x51v

Also The use Lo-Fi link should have a corresponding use Hi-Fi link, and at least when logged in as a member, toggle you between the two modes on page you are viewing.

It is easier to read and such in lo-fi, but the lack of a follow link and such ... since IE can use either, this would be a handy work-around for now. And it would be just practical.

I agree on this

Re: textmode - bugs reports and suggestions topic

here is a good Bug to report on..

When in text mode and a Mod moves a topic and you clink on it, it's a dead link.

I have picture proof if you don't think I'm telling the truth.

justin @ 26th Sep 02:08PM:
Re: textmode - bugs reports and suggestions topic

that was a problem with the creation of topic move stubs rather than anything specifically to do with text mode. I've fixed it for new topic move stubs at least.

Also tweaked textmode a bit more, while I was in that area.

By the way if anyone uses a blackberry and knows a site that formats well (with good readable small text) on their cruddy annoying proxy-server driven browser, please post the site so I can copy whatever CSS they used to get it to look that way.

Most sites on the blackberry browser look horrible in terms of font choice and layout.

this shows 3 pages in text mode (there is 1)

Spellcheck doesn't work - It redirects to a spellcheck screen, but change, then close just returns to the post.

When, previewing a new post/reply, the normal non-text view is shown.

Would love for this view to be more manageable - multiple pages, forum names above the threads instead of a list of forums below all of them.

Re: textmode - bugs reports and suggestions topic

I've noticed over the past 3+ days that many, but not all, of the posts I have previously read aren't noted as updated when viewing via text.dslreports.com. Instead of seeing [u] before the title I see [xx] with xx representing the number of posts in the thread.

In addition, because it isn't recognized as updated, it takes me to the 1st post and not the 1st unread post.

It is even happening for threads i've knowingly read on text.dslreports.com over the past couple days.

Re: textmode - bugs reports and suggestions topic

So its not the login confirmation, but your fully logged out?

Could it be one of your privacy settings? While I didn't use it once I installed Opera Mobile, IE had no problem saving my dslr cookies on my mda. Now you mention that your closing ie when programs normally go into minimize where the os will close them if additional memory is needed, could it be that the method your closing the program is causing not to write the cookies to the flash storage?

If it was free I would suggest using Opera Mobile, but you can at least use it for the trial period.

Re: textmode - bugs reports and suggestions topic

Samsung BlackJack, Cingular/AT&T.

Site works great on it!
Two errors I noted:

When doing the speed test, and you click "again", it automatically brings you to WAP mode. I was testing in HTML mode to begin with.

Also....pretty serious bug if you are going to rely on ANY speed tests for the mobile. This is regarding the "your IP" link:

If I use Cingular's proxy (as is default for the "media max" bundles, and if you use any cingular video it's required), I get a 209.183.32.X address.

If I use a direct internet connection (NO proxy, using Edge network on the phone - no wireless or sync to any PC), i get a 166.196.51.X address.

That's not a problem - the problem is that the 209.183.32.X address has a rDNS entry of *.mycingular.net. At the "your IP", it correctly identifies "DNS: mycingular.net"

The 166.196.51.X has NO rDNS (as verified on a Savvis provided DNS, OptOnline DNS, and Level 3 DNS) - yet "DNS: myvzw.com" appears at the link!

Arin lists the 209. as a Cingular owned subnet.

Arin lists the 166. as "Service Provider Corporation" owned - NOT Verizons.

I'm not sure if this is an oversight.....but If the mobile speed tests are to be taken serious, I think that any 166.128.0.0/9 address should not automatically be identified as myvzw.com, as they service Cingular, Verizon, alltel and a handful of providers throughout the world which are capable of being in that subnet.

Ok, the 'Auto Quote' button still doesn't work on my BB 8830. However, I have discovered that by playing around with the internet options, lo-fi dslr looks a lot better and even includes things like nested quotes, etc...

To check:
1. Press the BlackBerry button (seven black dots)
2. Select "Options" from the menu.
3. Select "Browser Configuration"
4. Highlight the check boxes next to
? Support HTML tables
? Support Javascript
? Use Background and Foreground colors
? Use Background Images
? Support CSS/Style Sheets For newer BlackBerry's also set:
? Style Sheets media type = screen
? Show images = WML & HTML Pages
? Emulation Mode = BlackBerry ? Content Mode = WML & HTML5. Press the BlackBerry button (seven black dots)
6. Select "Save Options"

And look at the difference.

Cheers,

It would allow me to easily view the page with the additional info we sometimes lose in lo-fi mode especially when trying to figure out what a specific reply is directed at.

Blackberry text mode problems with sticky topics

Hi Justin -

I have been having problems again with BlackBerry [ATT] and being able to access and even SEE the stickies especially in the Security Forum.

Is there a trick to this - I often need to use my BB to access the Security Updates Sticky on Mondays when I host.

EDIT TO ADD: IF I use OPERA in NON-text mode I can see and post to stickies. BUT NO STICKY TOPICS appear in ANY forum with ANY BROWSER using BB in TEXT mode. [Currently using laptop to post back this info]
ALSO Can NOT reply to today's sticky in any browser using text mode or regular mode even though I can click post a reply it will not load reply page....
Thanks for any tips or info :)

I am the Monday host of the Security Updates sticky each week and lately I have been traveling ALOT and need to keep up using blackberry if at all possible,

I was able to update in text mode prior to November with no problem. This began after a java update related to Navigator major update while I was in Houston over Christmas.

I even tried to reply to a non sticky topic in a hidden forum and could not do that either.

Just wanted to be clear :)

Re: textmode - bugs reports and suggestions topic

I just got a Samsung Propel on AT&T's 3G network and I've been having two distinct problems with the text version of the site.

Login Difficulties:
Perhaps the most problematic of the issues is that I can't login using the text version. I have to login to the WWW site (which isn't just slow to load, but uses quite a bit more data transfer) and transfer to the "lo-fi" version.

There is also a problem in reconfirming stale cookies. After not having visited while mobile for a few days, text mode attempts to confirm your password just like the WWW site, only it never confirms. I enter my password and it continually brings me back to the confirmation page no matter what links I click.

Instant Messages:
I can view site instant messages just fine, but sending them fails. I don't have the error message handy at the moment, but I can provide more detail if this problem is unfamiliar.

I see my buddies listed, the speedtest link takes me to a page which says the browser is not compatible but everything else wants the password check.

If I try hitting the logout link I end up in another endless loop => password check => logout => password check => logout. Am never shown as logged out.

Opera mini works OK on this site but clunkier (IMO) for most things.

I thought that I was the only one who had this annoying issue. Glad to know I'm not the only one.

I had to 'kill' all login sessions for any Blackberry logins using broadband connection in order to stop that endless log in stuff.
And then log out each time I go off Blackberry and dslr.

Obviously not a permanent solution but it's a work around til something's changed :)

Is it safe to assume that since there hasn't been any update on this issue that the problem is non-trivial?

Re: textmode - bugs reports and suggestions topic

lately i've been logging in using text.dslreports.com. since yesterday when I go there from my phone it wants me to confirm my password, so i enter it. then it says I need to logout first. i continue, then i try to logout, it wants to confirm my password. i cant login or logout....without confirming my password I've done the equivalent of clearing the cache on my phone, I just cannot get off of the "password check" page, entering password or even trying to sign out.

Besides clearing your cache, see if deleting your cookies works. I think that's what I did the few times it happened to me on my Blackberry.

I have to log out and kill the cookie from another IP or computer.

Go to Members and LogIn History and kill any active session cookies. :)

Hope this helps :)

Re: textmode - bugs reports and suggestions topic

I have found that in order to get around this I switch to the HTML version, login there and then switch to the text version.

Any idea if there will be a fix for this annoyance ?

Just looking for an update to the problem of viewing stickies in text mode.

There are a lot of us now really wanting to be able to access them.

Thanks Justin in advance.
