Help for connecting to Yahoo mobile/wap

[ballyhoo]

I am using a HP ipaq with MS pocket pc 4.20.0

I was able to use wap.yahoo for a while then recently when I try to log on to either th ewap or mobile site i get this popup about Download: download 'My documents\" to "my documents' folder in Main memory? with a yes change or Cancel buttons.

If you use yes it saids there's already a file with same name there, and you can replace yes or no? If yes, it said the file is open and bing used, choose another name

So did i do anything?
how to fix?

you know this thing crashed and requires hard resets so I may have screwed up something.

any help appreciated

Try going to us.m.yahoo.com as that loads the Yahoo mobile front page when I use NetFront. My PIE access to the Yahoo mobile pages has been screwy since I loaded Y!Go version 1 (now being terminated by Yahoo as they go support only for the completely phone-device oriented version 2). If I recall correctly, this is about the time that they set for dropping all support for older mobile access in any form other than the mobile web site, which I assume includes both Y!Go v. 1 and WAP.

thanks
but no luck...same download message from the us.m.yahoo site. Looks like time to ditch the ipaq

Or try an alternate browser. I can access the mobile site with no problem with NetFront even though PIE gives me the same download error that you receive. You could load a trial version of Opera or NetFront to see if that works for you.

I have the Ipaq 1945 and also get it.
However when I saved it as a diffrent filename I found out whats wrong.
It has a xml heading in the top so I would guess its yahoo's fault.

Hope this helps!!

I have the same problem with my iPaq h4150. The problem is not caused by the XML headers. It will ask you to download "login" file. Once downloaded change its name to login.html and edit it to add http://us.m.yahoo.com to the form URL. Then once you open the login.html you will be able to log in but it will prompt you to download "mail". Download it and change the extension to mail.html and you will see your email list.

The bottom line here is that if yahoo had named the login page to login.html (and subsequent pages to .html) then it wouldn't have caused any problem.

Ramkre,

Can you elaborate on this a little more? It soundslike you may have got it to work but I am not clear on what you did, I guess I'm a newb. How do you add the url to the form url?
