Default How to use a Trinity, but using TyTN settings for your Service Provider

Hi all

I use a Trinity WM6 (bepe's rom) and I would like to use the WAP Portal of my Service Provider (Orange Switzerland). I can access the portal, but it's only a text based browsing. All WM5 Orange branded phones or Nokia phones can access the portal with picutres, nice colors and watch Live TV.

As my Trinity is not Orange branded (they don't even sell it here in Switzerland) I can't access the colored portal and can't watch TV

I tried changing some registry settings like:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Internet Settings\ 5.0\ User Agent\Default -> Wert: Mozilla/4.0

and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Internet Settings\ 5.0\ User Agent\Post Platform -> PPC; 240x320; SPV M3100; OpVer 12.16.5.111

As you can imagine, Orange ignores these settings and still recognizes, that I use a Trinity and not a SPV M3100 (HTC TyTN).

Does somebody knows, what I could do to "pretend" that I'm surfing on their WAP Portal with a SPV M3100?

Any help and hint is very appreciated!

Cheers
Jarvis

I <think> it is something to do with a special configuration file within the Orange ROMs. Updating the ROM removes this file, so preventing access to OW

There have been a lot of posts here and on Modaco about trying to access Orange World (the 'enhanced' WAP site), but I'm not sure if anyone found the fix.

Hi Neil

I don't know if this might be the reason. All Nokia and SE phones (unbranded) can access the enhanced wap portal. On an older WM5 version you could do the registry change and that worked out to access OW.

I've had better luck in
HKLM\Security\Internet Explorer\User Agent

The key to change is Custom

Try using some values from other similar devices on your network
