Default Avantgo...

How can I check the pages ???
I'm new to PPC (ipaq 2210) ... I use to work with Palm and Avantgo was a standalone software. Now, it looks like I need to use IE to view the offline content of Avantgo pages ?

How ?

V.

In Pocket IE, tap the Favorites button (looks like a star) then tap the AvantGo Channels item.

That's what I'm doing... but it keeps telling me I need to activate it... In ActiveSync, I see AvantGo conduit... and it looks like it's getting the pages from the web.. but ????

thanks...

On your PC (not Pocket PC) go to AvantGo Connect in Control Panel, select any server settings that may be there, and remove them. Then, goto the My AvantGo site, log into your account, and go through the "Software configuration" procedure listed on the "My Account" tab on the right side of the page.

Once this is done, try syncing your PPC again and try AvantGo on your Pocket PC.

As an aside, I would highly recommend asking one of the admins to change your username. Using an e-mail address that's visible to the world will result in an increase in spam once pages you've posed on are crawled by spambots.

Hmmm... It still doesn't work :cry:

Did all you told me to... in different order to see what it would do.
I've clear cookies, cache and authentication (in advanced config page) but still no results...

Arrggg... this must be something really stupid and I just don't see it... :bad-words:

Have you tried soft resetting your iPAQ? The only thing I can think is that maybe Pocket IE is still running in the background and maybe some file can't be updated. :?: (Good call on the clearing cache and auth info... always a good troubleshooting tool that I forgot to mention.)

Hi... You have not said which machine your using. But if its a HP2210 I have some good and bad news for you. I was only able to get mine working after I did a hard reset. The problem is that Avantgo is preloaded into the PPC. What you need to do after the hard reset is to allow Avantgo to sync with the default user. After that you can configure it to your own user name in the setting in activesync.

I hope this helps... I spent many an hour trying to resolve this without having to do a hard reset but in the end it was the only way I could do it. And I spent less time rebuilding my PPC than I did trying to resolve it without the hard reset.
