prkI has a new toy!
The fun has been trying to get Telstra's NextG Foxtel portal working on it, as it's not an officially supported handset. Finally, success!
No doubt I'll need to do it again next time I factory reset, so saving myself some instructions.
Download the Default_i-mate_MyPlace.cab and Telstra_V5.5.CAB files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1719900&postcount=63
Don't right click and "save as" - it doesn't work as the link heads off to Rapid share, where you have to follow the prompts.
Copy both of these onto the device, then:
1) Install the Default_i-mate_MyPlace.cab
This gives the "My Place" option in the Programs list. When I ran it and tried to go to any of the options, it would connect, then timeout on finding location.
2) Ensure the Telstra Internet connection is using a proxy:
Start / Settings / Connections / Connections
Under "Telstra Internet Settings" select "Manage existing connections"
Under Proxy Settings, tick "This network uses a proxy server ..."
Advanced / HTTP
Set server to "10.1.1.181" and port to 80
Okay out.
At this stage I could now go to the various locations in Telstra My Place. Except Foxtel which gave an error about not having a compatible phone.
3) Change the User Agent by editing the registry.
The key is \HKLM\Security\Internet Explorer\User Agent\CustomBase
I changed it from: HTC_P4550 Mozilla/4.0
to: i-mate JASJAM V2 PPC; 240x320; HTC_TyTN/1.0 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
For editing the registry I'm using Total Commander 2.5 beta3 which I got from http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=16509
Now I could load the foxtel link. When I tried the free service, streaming media told me it couldn't connect.
4) Configure streaming media:
Start / Programs / Streaming Media
Menu / Options
Set "Connect Via" to "Telstra Internet Settings"
Voila - Foxtel now works.
I suspect that running the Telstra_V5.5.CAB would have taken care of both 2) and 4), but now that it's working, I'm not in any hurry to try it - maybe next time I reset.
