The best Browser????

[MerlinW]

Now that I have the NX-70, and the wi-fi card.....

...... what is the best browser?

...... and has anyone found a sniffer program yet?

Thanks

[n2ifp]

I have simple surfing needs, so Blazer and WebProV work fine for me. NetFront3 was just shear frustration with all the page too large errors, poor readability, and it was slow as heck! BTW, everytime I tried to zoom it, the page would have to try and reload. Not only that, but it was a pig in the amount of RAM used and there was no alternative as to where it could be installed. Both WebProV and Blazer can be run from the memory stick launcher folder. WebProV can be setup to clear the cache on exit, so all the RAM used can be reclaimed immediately.

Blazer uses an optimized server to display the content better on the PDA's screen without a lot of scrolling along with clear legible text and graphics. It is NOT HiRes, but still isn't bad.

With WebProV, I found that I can set it up to use Blazer's optimized server. Not only that, WebProV is HiRes 320x320 resolution which also works very nicely. Anybody needing specialized applications, then will have to weigh their options.

PocketLink did nothing, but crash my NX70. I have NOT tried Xiino or Netspring as of yet.

There is no perfect browser for the Clie, so far.

No sniffer apps that I have heard about.

silly question... where is webprov? searches on google, palmgear and palmsource turn up no links to download.

[davy19]

web pro comes with Tungsten I think.

There was a link somewhere, not sure where maybe do a search..


The thing is web pro stopped working for me on Saturday night I think and has not worked since. I think there was a time expiration on it.

Otherwise I think it was a much better browser, so much faste just not full screen.

[dimensiondvdrob]

where can i get web pro v from?

I've tested them all out and Netfront is a winner for me. I use it all the time now. (the more I use it, the faster it gets! cache=none)

[laimanh]

I have seen some posts saying that NZ90 will be using a browser called Picsel. Have anyone got experience on that?

I am glad your happy with it:). I wasn't, no matter what size cache I used or didn't use. It totally stinks and is slow and cumbersome as molasses. No one can convince me it's any different. Besides, that still doesn't address the bloated memory issue 2 megs of precious RAM verses none. :cool:

Working on it ;)

[dimensiondvdrob]

Maybe someone can help....i downloaded Web Pro V and installed it to my mem stick. I have Netfront installed in RAM. Each time I connected the wifi card to the network, i got a fatal reset using Web Pro V. Is it possible that I cannot have Web Pro V and Netfront on the same PDA?

Thanks in advance.

[tinay]

For me the best browser is already included with your NX's CD Rom and that is NetFront 3.0 by ACCESS:

Believe me, once installed in your NX, try going to this optimized list of web sites for PDA:

http://www.cantoni.org/palm/links.html

Cheers!

Once you tried, it you'll notice that the annoying pop-up message box is not happening!

Cheers again!

BTW, if you need some more optimized URLs, let me know I have lots of them.;)

What is Blazer's optimized server's URL?

One fellow who has received a demo unit from Sony says the version of picsel that comes with the NZ90 doesn't function as a Web browser.

[laimanh]

But I saw from the Picsel Technology web site that there should be a Picsel web program to browse the web. If you have the demo version, can you share with us?

[cwai02]

I d better stick with Webpro,
small and easy to use...no error so far...

The NEtfront only gives me tons of errors...I have to free up my memory to 8 MB to install it successfully.

and I can't put more program in the palm after I install the netfront...really frustrated.

Now, I can have my Chinse OS in the palm(2.5MB), and put ICQ, AIM, mail into the MS. and I still have 5MB free in the NX70V.

The Netfront is just not working for me.

[lightninja]

I guess im the only one satisfied with netfront. :D It runs very fast for me.

[Mr. Thompson]

Net Font is pretty but Web Pro rocks, especially with text. I prefer to do my text based news browsing with Web Pro in my recliner instead using the 20" LCD at my desk.

[dimensiondvdrob]

Anyone want to venture a guess as to why my NX crashes when I had Web Pro installed? Can I not have Web Pro and Netfront on the same CLIE? Can Web Pro run from the MS?

Thanks.

[davy19]

Only problem I found with web pro vs netfront, is web pro wont support 128 bit, I cannot log into my bank accounts with web pro but can with Netfront.

But still I dont do that enoguh, I rahter use web pro anyday

We are all still waiting for the perfect browser. I got so disgusted with NetFront, I almost smashed my Clie! With Net Front, either the page was too big or too small and anytime I tried to navigate I would get all these page errors. Then there was this switching of resolutions back and forth. For my casual browsing needs, WebPro or Blazer is just fine. Reducing or eliminating the cache helped some with page too large errors, but it still was far too many of them. Using Blazer's Home Handspring URL made WebPro even nicer and fast too. WebPro has the option of clearing the cache on exit, good for those with limited RAM.

ClieSource truncates it, so go into quote for full view.

[urban75]

Here's a tip: use http://tinyurl.com if you're having trouble posting up long URLs onto a notice board - it crushes 'em down to a teensy weensy l'il URL that works just fine.

The handspring address is: http://tinyurl.com/4t2h

[urban75]

(sheepishly).... although in this case n2ifp put up a needlessly long URL which insluded his own dynamic session address - the actual address is simply:

http://www.handspring.com/mobile/

(But to be pedantic and to salvage my reputation, the even smaller URL with tinyurl.com comes out as http://tinyurl.com/4t2q )

That's the optimized server?!?!?  I thought this was to replace the host address in WebPro from webpro.palm.com, which is where all requests from WebPro go first.

[aarecordati]

Hi,

I've installed WebPro on my NR and works fine... only problems are that;
if I select "Standard" font from the Font Menu I don't see any font (only boxes)... therefore I don't have the font I need installed... can anyone please tell me which one it is and where I can get it from? It works if i choose small font, but I think that affects the way the pages are displayed...
Also, in the Display Option I cannot find the Best Quality Option, and therefore don't get full Hires Graphics, can someone explain why please....Thanks for any help that you might be able to give me

[n2ifp]

Oh, you say NR, it might not be possible if your using the OS5 version of WebPro. It might only be available on the NX and Tungsten. The graphic API's are different between the two operating systems.

[aarecordati]

Well, I guess that's why it dosen't appear in hires and when installed on the NR it removes the Best Quality option in the
Display Option Menu.
However, it does work and in actual fact in the WebPro manual it says that it needs as minimum requirement Palm =S 4.1.
If anyone feels like trying it on their NR, please let us know how it works... I'm curious to see if anyone gets it to work in Hires mode and with the Best Quality display option available.....

True, but remember in the NR, Sony installed it's own proprietary graphics set. Sort of a virtual OS5 before OS5. Before OS5, it was not a Palm standard, but now it is with OS5.

[aarecordati]

Larry, thanks for that... now i understand...
Aside from the hires graphics, do you know why it dosen't display the web page in the nice layout that you see when displaying the same web page on a OS5 palm...

At this point I'm really sad... i want to be able to surf the web with high res (i.e. i need OS5)..... however don't like the NX70 due to its CF slot which for me is useless (and makes it wider), the NZ is too BIG and the Tungsten has a screen which is too small and no keyboard (essential after having got used to the NR)......:(

Can someone please give me an NR with OS 5, integrated bluetooth, 32 ram/16 rom, MS PRO compatible............ i'll even do without the camera.... PLEASE!!!!!

I was able to run both on my NX...:)

[oneeyesquare]

Netfront works fine for me. No cache, tables, java or css. Images are on... Works pretty consistently with this setup with few "page to large" errors. Page downloads are pretty quick as well.
By the way, I'm posting off the NX!

Don't know how to get your answer. How can I check for you? I was able to log into fedex site. But I only got so far on company web portal, though better than with Netfront.

[cyclone]

Yes, it definitely supports SSL (128-bit).

So the level of security is like my home computer when I log into my Bank Portal to pay bills? I'd hate to experiment on Wednesday night, and find my life savings gone Thursday morning(but boy it was convenient to pay bills on my Clie).:D

[spikee]

Using a new app called PowerRUN, I moved Netfront to the Memory Stick. Saved over 2 mgs. of RAM. Here's a link to the app at PalmGear:

I tried that but still got fatal errors when trying to run it from the PowerRun directory.

[ilkera]

I tried Webpro with my bank portal. It connects to the first page very fine. I fillin the login form and try to enter the account. the second page does not show up unfortunately. I suppose that it does not supportsome https links.
Don't know why...

[captainao]

Since WebPro seems to require you to view pages through its "host" (whether you have that configured as webpro.palm.com or use handspring) doesn't this effectively prevent you from using it with an intranet?

[bucalo9]

That describes what happens when I log into my company web portal. With Nefront I coudn't get anything after entering my username and password. With WebproV I could log in , but couldn't get to my iNotes mail.

[khyasad]

Can someone tell me what the Blazer optimised server is please ? I've installed webprov however not getting anywhere ...

[khyasad]

sorry, what i meant was what should i put in the host ? i read earlier in the thread the linksprovided, but they do not work for me :<

[contempt]

Netfront isn't so bad if you use it as an Avantgo substitute. I just used the Avantgo and PocketPC site urls and made a custom home page with all of those links. So if I'm at Starbucks, I just load up Netfront, and surf to all the text-only sites. It is quite fast when you don't have any complicated html. That was the only solution I found making Netfront tolerable.

[matt7777]

Can someone tell us where WebPro can be found. There was a link to a no-rulz site, but it isn't there any more.

Thanks
Matt

This site has a list of optimized URLs for PDA and will work great in any PDA WEB Browser.

Well, I've joined the bandwagon today, and got a WiFi card. And since I know nothing about it, I just started installing. And since I had Netfront on the Clie CD, I decided to try that as a browser. But, I have discovered that I can run it from my MS card with PowerRun. I know I will have a zillion questions (ie how to get email, but I have to do some research on it first).

Does anyone else run NetFront from the MS card? Are am I just that talented? ;)

[n2ifp]

Hi Annie,

Most of us do, first you need at LEAST 6mb free to install it and then move the 2mb NF app via PowerRun to the MS.

Oh, I did some fancy maneuvring to get NetFront loaded in the first place, but now everything is back in it's 'place'. Larry, I know of your *dislike* for NetFront, but it is all I have right now. And it seems to be working. Miracle....

[n2ifp]

Very good :)!

I use iambic mail, my personal preference. You have Clie Mail which is free and was included with your Clie.

It all depends what you use your web browser for. For something simpler you can try the TT version of WebProV.

http://leggnet.com/clie/

Blazer is also free for Sprint PCS customers and it used to be dowloadable from the Spint PCS site.

[anniebluesky]

Ha! You remembered I use ClieMail (from my orginal fiasco.) Well, I may change now to Iambic Mail. Who knows?

[sheik28]

What is wrong with my WebProV??? I downloaded it from legg's site and for some odd reason whenever I try to go into preferences or network I get a fatal error!! :mad: and need to reset!!It happens when it's on MS or in RAM!!!:mad:&nbsp; Any ideas??? Anyone??

If you want a good email program try snappermail (www.snappermail.com). I used Iambic mail and was less than impressed. After trying snappermail, I bought it within 2 days of my free trial. They have excellent support for attachments, unlimited folder support and excellent tech support.

Just my thoughts on it.

have they released a hires+ version of snappermail yet? Documents, including emails, are one of the few things that pretty much NEED to be able to be viewed in hires+

[dimensiondvdrob]

i dont think they have released a hires+ version. but as for functionality, it's by far the best out there. and to me, functionality is superior to anything.

I am using PLink2.3. I get a "fatal error" almost every time I open it up. Once I reset, it works fine, but next time = "fatal error".
Has anyone had/fixed this problem?
I'm on the anti-NetFront team. Too big. Even with a lot of free RAM space from using JackFlash, I've filled up free ROM pretty much. and it takes too much space
PLink does what I want, WHEN it does.
Any ideas what might be causing the problem?

I sent you Plink v2.55a. Two things, do not use power run and if you get a fatal error on startup of app, try connecting first via network preferences and then access Plink, it should work!

Thanks, I will check it out. But first I must master my WiFi card:)

[Rick 098]

I cant download webpro!

[Tixx]

Well I read this and in my cautious ways am installing NF from the CD. I hope I can get the hang of this WiFi stuff

[Tixx]

What is it supposed to do, NF? I have it on and PowerRun does not see it to move it to the MS and when I tap on the generic icon it just goes back to the launcher:confused:

[thinker]

Rick 098,

I will email the WebPro when I get home tonight.

Cheechwhiz,

PocketLink does not crash if you are connected prior to its execution

[abosco]

I use NetFront, and I have over 8 MB RAM free at all times. After I enter the app and PowerRun copies it to RAM, I've got over 6 MB RAM free. I haven't run into a page that gives NetFront an error in days, and I go to some pretty demanding sites, including ones that require 128 bit security (ebay, paypal, etc). I'm guessing NetFront gives those errors purely because of how much content it's capable of displaying. I mean, pages display as well as my desktop, and for mobile-formatted websites, as fast as the broadband access it's running on. On more demanding sites, it seems like 56K, which isn't bad at all.

I have yet to come across another browser that displays pages as beautifully as NetFront. Really, if I wouldn't have to be so stingy with RAM, NetFront would be the perfect browser. Basically, I want a 320x480 screen, NetFront 3.0, and 32-64 MB RAM. This would make an awesome web-browsing machine (ahem, Sony get to work on the RAM).

[Tixx]

For the life of me I cannot get NF to work on my NX. I can get it installed, but it will not launch or open.

[abosco]

You need 8 MB RAM free when you install it for NetFront to show up in the launcher. Then, you'll need at least 2 MB free RAM when you run it. You can use PowerRun to store NetFront on the card, but it copies it to RAM when you run the application. That means if NetFront is on the card, you'll need 4 MB free RAM for NetFront to work properly, and the more RAM free, the better.

I found this link by demannu http://avina.best.vwh.net/palm.html to a newer version and now it is on my device. For some reason my NX did not like the version that came with the CD:confused:

More than likely a browser problem. It is an index only site, similar to an ftp.

is that an "official" upgrade. isnt' there an official web page for netfront that has this?

[velocitysf]

I too had nothing but problems with the version of NetFront that shipped on my NX cd; however since loading the new version, it seems to behave flawlessly. I don't get the "page too big" error, as long as I keep the zoom on the smalles print (which is what I prefer anyway). It works great on secure sites -- If only my NX had more RAM (i've been battling running out since I bought it) and if only my clie supported multiple windows......that would be cool.

[gbh]

is there an upgraded version of webpro?

[Hotsingh]

A short story of my WIFI experience

I bought a WIFI card for my NX70 with this 'fantasy' of surfing wireless from all corners of my home. NetFront that came with the CD I foolishly thought was the one & only web-browser optimized for surfing on my Clie - I almost became a nervous wreck by the end of the week. I thought I just burnt some hard cash for a WIFI card that was great only for Wireless Hotsync ....

Somehow by some sheer luck, I stumbled into this forum, into WebPro and the rest is history. I am not a foot fetish, but Larry - can I kiss both your feet?:D

[n2ifp]

LOL, Your Welcome :D!

[gyffes]

Yah, saying Larry's got issues with netfront is like saying W's got issues with Aye-rahbs.

Question re: Snappermail -- how does it handle accessing Yahoo! mail! ?

danke

[lal2707]

I have been using Netfront and apart from a few problems initially in getting ti work from MS - its been great. I moved it to MS using Powerun and saved on the RAM

Cheers

[gyffes]

I had my first wifi-via-clie' experience this weekend and it was LOVELY to be out in the sun surfin' via WebPro. I've not tried any other browser and must say that until one comes out that'll take advantage of the clie's 480 screen to go landscape, WebPro is fine for my needs.

[gyffes]

Great.. one day after raving... interesting problem:

I've set up a "Sniffer" configuration and tested at work. My office doesn't yet have Wireless but clearly someone in the building does because I get a helluvastrong signal right off the bat.

HOWEVER, once I open WebPro, the NX freezes -- must soft-reset.

Ideas? I'mabout to install Blazer see if that helps, but I had such a great experience with WebPro the first time out, I'm hesitant to lose it (and all the bookmarks I set into it!)

Help?

[wyattwong]

I also got the "page too large" error for most of the time when using NetFront, is there a fix for that?

[gyffes]

I believe the fix, per Larry, is called.... WebProV.. or Blazer.. or PLink... or ANYTHING but NetFront!

[Orincarnia]

can you give a link to those?

[patrickl]

As I understand the Tunsten-C has a new proxyless Webbrowser called "Palm Webbrowser 2" (or something like that). Does it run on the NX at all and if so, does anyone have that available for testing purposes?

I find WebPro repugnant for anything but the simplest "mobile" sites, but as Webbrowser 2 is supposed to be proxyless, I hope that would mean it doesn't screw over the site before it shows you the leftovers.

[cyclone]

I tried sucking the web browser out of my wife's Tungsten C and into my NX70, but it didn't work. Given that NetFront's installation process is more elaborate, I didn't expect it would work, however. It's apparently in Flash on the C so I couldn't load it off of the CD. The browser looks very similar to NetFront, and is from the same company.

There is another thread about "page too large" error:

i believe T|C runs WebProV, and you can install it on Clie.

In my opinion, Web Prov V is nice and simple, but NetFront is still better. If you've been reading webpages in full screen mode in NetFront, it's going to be hard to look at 320x320 pages in Web Pro V. Also, you can't resize the rendering of pages (in NetFront it's the magnifying glass with + symbol) which can be annoying sometimes.

I've installed both browsers on my clie, but I use NetFront more often.

I use clie for quick browsing so i'm not too concerend with "page too large." lots of web pages these days have tons of banner graphics and flashing this, flashing that. you can't expect your portable device to handle everything :)

The Tungsten T runs WebPro V, but the C runs a newer version of NetFront.
