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!
