No Optimized web browser support on basic phones after 8/30/13?

Over the weekend I received a very disturbing message on my web browser. of my Samsung Gusto 2. It said that there would be no Optimized web browser support on basic phones after 8/30/13 and that if I wanted a good web browsing experience that I would have to upgrade to a smartphone. I am on the $50 unilmited talk,text,and web prepay plan but don'\t want to get stuck paying for a web browser I can't use after that date.A smartphone monthly plan would cost $10-20 more monthly,in addition to spending considerably more to buy a smartphone. I already have a tablet and was told a smartphone was unnecessary. Anybody else get this message?One person in customer service said that it was propaganda and not to believe it. Another person that I called later found the memo but had no further information on it at this time. Aparently Verizon likes to keep their customer service associates in the dark until last minute.No idea if they will alter their price plans in light of this development. I currently have AT&T U-Verse and will move my number to them and switch providers if forced to.They are willing to offer the same plan I currently have with Verizon but will have to buy a new AT&T GoPhone. Have had pretty good customer service with them up to now,but they are not open 24/7 for wireless customer service. Any comments?

Hi Melissa
Right now I am switching back and forth between the Samsung Gusto 2 and the original Gusto. The reason I am doing this is because the Gusto ,even though it is an older phone, is in much better condition than the newer Gusto2. I want to use the beat-up Gusto2 for work, and switch to the other phone when I need a more presentable phone.Also have a Verizon Wireless CDM 7076(somewhere).
Don't know why I am being forced to replace perfectly good phones. And yes,SydneyK, I could use my tablet for data,but it is a little cumbersome to take it out with me,but don't need it for my work . I just took it out for the first time recently to see how well it works on Wi-Fi hotspots(I don't have or want a data plan).Because I am a U-verse customer,I have access to 30,000 AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE. I don't want to pay for something (web access)that I can't use on this phone. If Verizon can't give me cost-effective solutions,then I will be forced to transfer my number to AT&T Wireless as of August 30 for a GoPhone. AT&T wants my business and are wiling to do anything to satisfy me. Haven't had any trouble with Verizon either. Yes, their customer service is still available 24/7 even thought you will have to wait a while sonetimes. I just hate the thought of having to go through the hassle of transferring my number to another carrier.

Can't Web Browse to 6900 series phones running firmware 9.4.1.3 on cisco CME

Hi
I'm having issues with web browseing to cisco IP phones.
Historically we could web browse to a a basic settings/ dianostics page of the phone by simiply browseing to the phones IP address.
However after an upgrade to SCCP firmware 9.4.1.3 this is no longer possible? I have tested from the same lan/subnet but still it refuses connections. Did a telnet using port 80 and this is also refused.
Was this feature removed in the later firmware? I have always found this feature usful especially when doing degugging and remote testing.
If it is still possible to web to them does anyone know how this is enabled. I'm searching around but not found a solution yet.
Thanks
Simon

I think web access disabled by default started in 9.3(3) for these phone models:

I dont recall when I have been more frustrated.... the "loops" I am in on the web for support are endless. After downloading Yosemite on my Mac my CS6 no longer works. On your support web site you state the following for downloading and installing previous versions of apps, such as CS6 " 1. open CC for desktop and go to the apps panel (no link is provided so I explored until I could download a trial version of "application manager" as that was required. When I attempted to open it to download "Previous Versions" I could not. I have my license number, my CS6 will not open in Yosemite and after over 2 hours I am really frustrated.... Rich@

When I go to that link, download and then attempt to install I get the message "Webe encountered the following issues, Installer failed to initialize. Please down load Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem" I then select the link "get adobe support advisor" that takes me to a site that describes a better support link since the one I have been sent to is no longer available. I then go to that site and am told to go to CC for desktop apps, that requires me to download CC... I don't want CC.. just want to have my CS6 PS work again.... so frustrating...

How to open a web browser from an windows phone app

Hi everyone,
I am pretty new to Windows Phone 7, and now what I am trying to do is to create a simple app. When a user click to start this app, a browser will open and show the content of a webpage from a specific address.
I tried to use a webbrowser object, but it seems like that doesn't sport cookies. So I need my app to open a real web browser (maybe IE mobile) to do the job.
Thank you.

copying from stackoverflow: "If you want to embed a browser window inside your application then use the WebBrowser control. Add an instance of the WebBrowser control to your form then you can reference it in code using the name you
give it. (Default name is "webBrowser1")"
Microsoft MVP J# 2004-2010, Borland Spirit of Delphi 2001

I am trying to get my application (e-qip )"We did not detect that your web browser supports 128-bit high encryption.Have trouble "Continue" button below, you will need to upgrade your web browser to a version that supports 128-bit encryption"

I am trying to complete my TSA job application and it is a requirement to complete e-qip questions?

That website is using an old method of checking the encryption level a web browser is capable of, it mentions Netscape 6.x/7 which are like from 6 to 7 years ago. It looks like they're checking for a '''U''' in the User Agent string. That particular letter in the UA goes back to the days of export controls for encryption software, but those controls expired over 15 years ago. That letter has been virtually meaningless since then. <br />
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent
You can fool that website into thinking that you are using an older version of Firefox with this extension. <br />
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/ <br />
Use this for a custom UA string that should work there:<br /> '''Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.18) Gecko/20110614 Firefox/3.6.18'''
Or just use IE for that one website.

Optimal web browsing

Hi All,
I've got a B&W G3/400 with mac os 9.1 (about to go 9.2). I was wondering if there are any good web browsers out there for os 9. (IE 5.0 is a little sluggish, plus most pages do not load correctly.) If so is there a link I can download them at? Oh yes and one more small question, I have a 2 button scroll wheel optical mouse, but cannot use the right click and scroll features. I know that OS 9 doesnt support it, but i was wondering if there was a driver/extension/control panel i could download, if so is there a link to the site?
thanks,
Allen G

Hi, Allen -
Oh yes and one more small question, I have a 2 button scroll wheel optical mouse, but cannot use the right click and scroll features.
You are correct, OS 9 does not include software to support those features. Most, if not all, non-Apple but Mac-compatible mouses come with software to provide support for them.
However, the utility USB Overdrive provides such support for almost all types and makes of pointing devices, and usually works better than the software that might come with a non-Apple mouse.
In particular, USB-OD allows setting functions/behaviors on a program by program basis, so that the actions change automatically depending which program is currently active. This is great especially for games.
For example, I use USB-DO with an MS Intellimouse Explorer (five buttons plus scroll wheel). When I'm using my word processor, the right button is Copy, the front thumb button is Paste, and the rear thumb button is Save. In my browser, the actions are the same except the rear thumb button is Back. And in Diablo II, all button actions except for the left button are entirely different, set to match the needs of the game play. The USB-DO software automatically switches those actions for me.

Is Safari the only web browser supported on the iPad?

Just wondering if Firefox works on the iPad or ONLY Safari?

There is no Firefox for the iPad, but there are other browsers available in the App Store (just search for browser) e.g. Atomic Web, iCab, Mercury, Skyfire

i do not wanna do web browser, that is my coswork,Still you need to give a bit more info.
1) Be aware that data and view of the data are and should remain different things.
The ArrayList can be used to save the Favourites. And the JList can be used to display them. Alternately, you could also use a tree of Favourite objects, with Favourite extending DefaultMutableTreeNode. This tree can then be displayed using JTree.

Web Browser in the output of Report and save the text entered in browser

Hi All,
I am having a requirement that i has to show the web browser in the output of the basic list and i has to save the text entered in the web browser and not the URL.
For example.
if i am displaying the web browser in the basic list of my report.
i am having a field to give the URL and i will the give the URL as WWW.GOOGLE.COM and press enter, then the web page will be loaded in the basic list. i am entering some text in the search area .
let the text may be "SAP-ABAP".
now i has to save the text "SAP-ABAP" in to my database.
So , if you have any suggestions please reply to this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Phani.

Of course there is not going to be any specific example which has been taylored to your exact requirement, which is why you should be looking outside the box. The reason I suggested that program is so that you can see how to allow the user to access a web page and enter a value, and then allow the application server to access this value, which of course can then be stored on the database.
As for you exact requirement, if you are looking to specifically throw a browser with www.google.com in the browswer and have the user enter a value in the search, and then expect that this value be returned to the application which was entered, I don't see a clean/easy way to do this. Why? Because once the user is veiwing google in the browser, it is now out of your control, because that page is not running on your server. Not if google had some API, that would be a different story.

822 uploading images via web browser

I can not seem to upload pictures to websites via the web browser, is this a phone/os issue like with the Iphone before the lastest OS update? or is there possibly another issue maybe with it being something to do with the browser or where I have images saved?

WP8 does not have a built-in file manager, so that may be the cause of your issues. are you even able to see the folders such as Camera Roll, Saved Pictures etc?

There is no web browser currently on my phone.

Ok,
Now try to resend your service books. Go to Email settings>Press the menu key and select Service Books and select Send Service Books. See if that gets you going.

Trinidad faces and JSF faces not optimized for android web-browser.

We are developing Mobile based application using Oracle ADF Mobile (Jdev R1). Trinidad Faces and JSF faces are rendering optimized on all smart phones (i.e. iPhone, Blackberry and windows) except Android (linuxwebkit) web browser. On Android web-browser page rendering as render in desktop browser.
any idea please?
thanks
yousuf

Hi,
copying the answer I provided on the Stack Overflow forum to the same question:
Apparently you are correct and the ADF Mobile developer guide for 11g R1 doesn't mention Android as a target platform: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/web.1111/e10140/toc.htm
However, JDeveloper 11g R2 does : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26098_01/web.1112/e16178/toc.htm
Just search for "Android" and you see what I mean. As you mention the base technology is Apache MyFaces Trinidad and the version of Trinidad thus determines the support for mobile devices.
Apparently JDeveloper 11g R2 uses the Trinidad libraries (JSF 2) that support the Android platform while JDeveloper 11g R1 does not.
Given that Trinidad 1.2 supports Android (though it might not have been tested as mentioned here: http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/devguide/mobile.html) you should be able to create your own skin for Android as documented here: http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/devguide/mobileSkinning.html
The RequestContext object in Trinidad returns the calling agent and you may want to check first if this returns Android. If it does then creating and applying a skin is easy to do.

Phones constantly turn off in the middle of phone calls, texting or web browsing; help!

My daughter and I both have BlackBerry Curves that are approxiamately 2 years old. They are constantly shutting down during phone calls and web browsing even though the battery shows a full charge. When they finally finish rebooting the battery indicators show that they are completely drained and need to be recharged. The screens freeze regularly and the little clock icon keeps spinning whenever we try to do the most basic functions. I can't wait to upgrade to different phone but can't afford to buy four of them at once. What can we do to get by until we upgrade?

Wow Scotty1964. It's certainly strange that both phones are doing the same thing! Do you both share the same chargers? It may be as simple as the charger needing to be replaced if the phone is not getting the best charge to begin with. It's also possible that both devices downloaded something in common to cause the quirky behavior. Did this start after an update was installed on the phone? Or maybe an application was updated or installed? If just removing an application doesn't help, you may find a Master Reset http://bit.ly/zK7LOX may be the best way to purge the phone of the pesky trouble and have working devices in your hand until you're ready for those upgrades.
And I know money is tight, especially when you're looking to upgrade so many devices at once. When you have a chance, visit http://bit.ly/zpAY1E to check out all the online specials for phones. An upgrade may be more affordable than you think.
Thank you

I want to get a phone number to directly call Mozilla Firefox and I also want to enable the Norton Search in my Mozilla Firefox web browser like it's enabled in

I want to enable the Norton Search in my Mozilla Firefox Web Browser just like it is enabled in my default Internet Browser of Google Chrome right now today!!!!

Hello,
We do not have a phone # for technical support unfortunately. There are issues with Norton Toolbar causing Firefox to crash; This has been fixed in the 2013 version of Norton but not in 2012 yet. If you have 2013, it would be easier to contact Norton as they have a better understanding of how to guide you.

Mobile Phone Web Browsing - Automated Authentication.

Our company currently provides subscription data content to our customers which they access via mobile web services on their mobile phones. Instead of requiring our customers to enter a user name and password to access our secure website, we would like to automate the subscribers authentication to our website with an automated authentication technology.
Is anyone familiar with any tools available to support authentication technologies (i.e.; digital certificates) that are supported by (recent at best) versions of mobile phones?

I have tried your suggestion with both Firefox beta and opera bowser. Same issue. Works perfectly in chrome, but I would prefer to use Firefox browser. Thanks for your suggestion. I have also removed all cookies in every browser. Any other suggestions would be gratefully received.
