Default Netfront 3.2 hx4705 Question

I just purchased the newest version of Netfront 3.2 for my hx4705 and have a question.

Under the “View” option, when I try to set “Encoding” to “Auto-detect”, it does not work. This does work in 3.1.

Any clue as to what I did wrong ?

Earlier today I'd tried the upgrade discount code on Handango (using the $14.80 discount code given in ACCESS's email), but Handango refused to recognize it. It says the discount code isn't applicable to any item in the shopping cart, or something like that.

I also tried the $19.80 discount code which is given on ACCESS's website, but Handango refuses it either with the same reason!

Has anyone successfully applied any discount code to purchase v3.2?

On Handango's site, no. I've emailed Access & filled out a form on Handango. The Pocketgear new user discount code works on Pocketgear, though (I didn't purchase it, but it was accepted). I'll probably go through them if I don't hear back from either party tomorrow. Kind of ticked about that, though.

applejosh,
Same thing happened to me when I tried to upgrade from 3.0 to 3.1. :roll: Hopefully Handango gets their codes working properly as they have likely lost a few customers already...

Did you buy the version WITH java before, or without. They are selling the JAVA version upgrade only currently, even if you have no use for it.

Default Picked up staff from HP?

If you're going to do something better, please do it right! I love the tabbed browsing and the rendering options but native VGA support is so important! How can they release a new browser without vga support? That's crazy!!!

Hmm, we all know Microsoft can't make a browser...Ok Mozilla project, how about FireFox Mobile!!! I'll pay for it!!!

I bought the version WITH java (otherwise, I really didn't see the point of getting a commercial browser, even as great as NF may be - if you're going to pay for a browser, might as well get the full boat). But the upgrade code is working on Handango finally. (The message from Access said "the download site" (i.e. Handango) was having issues in regards to the codes.) All is well now. I don't know if I really like the rapid renderer, but at least the cache works better.

Default Netfront question...

Netfront users -- is it possible to install and run Netfront from a Storage Card?

Also, is it possible to direct NetFront to keep it's cache and cookie files on the Storage Card instead of main memory?

#1 - Maybe. The program would not install to the SD Card for me. It defaulted into main memory. Brad Issac over at PPCAddict claims you can just move the whole kit n kaboodle (copy the folders) over to the storage card, change your links in the start menu and you're good to go.

I am too scared to try. 3.2 is working for me now (an uninstall and reinstall seems to have fixed my font problem) so I don't want to experiment.

#2 - Yes. That's in the options section.

It installed to my CF card just fine. I just took a quick look at the handheld and it appears to have put one 4kb file in the Programs folder and a bunch of HTML files in the windows folder. It would appear the HTML files are the help files for the program. Not sure why those have to go there, is that a Windows Mobile thing? They aren't huge, but I'd sure like to have them out of my main memory. Otherwise, the main program, files, etc. are on my CF Card.
