AvantGo on my SDA!

[Guest dleasman]

Just put the AvantGo client on my SDA, which was released in beta a couple days ago. WOW, what an interface... Much better, IMHO, than the PPC version.

If anyone else is interested, the download can be found here for all SmartPhones

Thanks for not reading my News post :

...in which I'm taken to task for not reading TigerNet's earlier post in Main section ;)

So, Encece's question; why AvantGo over RSS ?

So, Encece's question; why AvantGo over RSS ?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Exactly. I was looking forward to it when I had my SMT5600 over a year ago, but was totally underwhelmed when I recently installed it on my SP5. In my opinion, the only thing that would make it "better" than RSS is an ActiveSync conduit - but that's not even present in the Smartphone version!

I found updating the channels to be incredibly slow and the program interface unresponsive in general - I much prefer the interface of NewsBreak. Too little too late from AvantGo if you ask me.

Does avantgo work with T-Zones (5.99) plan on T-Mobile? I tried but it is not letting me download anything.. :)

The T-Mobile SDA is not compatable with the $5.99 T-Zones service. You may have been able to use it on your SDA, but eventually the system figures out what phone you have and it will not work. Internet access is only available with the Hotspot/Internet combo plan @ $29.99 per month -- kind of a rip as I have yet to need to Hotspot access.

There are topics here about settings that'll let you use your SDA with T-Zones, and it used to work for my phone -- but if it's working for you, consider it temporary... If you need further clarification on this, contact T-Mobile customer service.

It should work through proxy. There are some softwares that work, some don't. If IE can work, howcome the others don't... I get Error Write Timed Out

It actually works with Proxy, but only to some extend, it does not completly transfer everything..

Check this from AvantGO:

Error Write Timed Out

Question

Why do I get an Error Write Timed Out message when syncing my wireless device?

Answer

We are looking into this issue. At the current time we believe the problem is that wireless carrier you are using is not allowing our large data transfers through their networks. We have seen this problem mostly but not limited to the GSM networks of T-Mobile http://t-mobile.com/ and AT&T/Cingular Wireless http://www.cingular.com .

The workaround in AvantGo 5.7 is to sync less data or use our open page feature which allows you to browse only to the website you want to. To use open page follow the instructions listed here: http://www.avantgo.net/demos/tutorial/surfing.php

Those proxy settings used to be great, got full connectivity on my iMate SP5m. After the SDA came out, those proxy settings stopped working on my iMate -- around that time they implemented some changes to prevent people from doing what I was :)

AvantGo works fine with the $29.99 T-Mobile Total Internet plan using EDGE, also works with WiFi. Tried it, but uninstalled it as RSS sort of turns AvantGo into AvantGone. Newsgator has a Smartphone client, or web page access to your RSS feeds -- syncs up with your PC...

Again, if you need clarification on using T-Zones with your SDA, contact T-Mobile customer care... Just dial 611 from your phone, it's a free call. If you call -- tell them like I did it would be better if they had 2 separate packages -- one for EDGE and another for HotSpots -- really dislike paying for both. Maybe if enough people mention it...

It really sucks.

Is there any RSS client that works same way as AvantGO works, but over T-Zones? I really like the way AvantGo worked because it was very organized and the sites were very good and webpage like.

Do you know if there is any way to view the pages that AvantGo is supposed to synch, but through explorer?

Good luck
