Vision Homepage And Call Tones on Treo700WX

originally posted by DrWowe on PPC6700users.com, changed by me to update information that currently works

In case you like being able to check your minutes online, or view the other content there. Smile

This is a two-part hack. First, you have to setup the Sprint proxy. Second, you have to make the website think you're running on a supported phone.

1) Setup the proxy. Goto Settings->Connections->Sprint->Proxy Settings. Set the proxy address to 68.28.31.33. Click advanced. Make sure the port for HTTP is 80, and get rid of Socks.

2) Change the User-Agent. Get your favorite registry editor.
Goto: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Internet Settings/5.0/User Agent

Backup what's there currently. (don't skip this). If you're using PHM, you can export the whole key to a file.

Get rid of everything else, and add the following String Values:
Compatible=compatible
Default=Mozilla/4.0
Desc=Windows 98; PalmSource/hspr-H102; Blazer/4.0
Platform=Windows 98; PalmSource/hspr-H102; Blazer/4.0
UA-Language=Windows 98; PalmSource/hspr-H102; Blazer/4.0
Version=MSIE 6.0

Now Sprint thinks you're using a Treo 650!

3) Goto http://vision.sprintpcs.com. If it doesn't look right, check all the settings again. You should have 10 links numbered 1,2,...,9,0. The website is very picky, if you have any typos or mistakes in the user-agent it won't work.

It would be fun to find the user-agent strings for other supported phones and post those here, in case they get other stuff we don't. Smile

So aside from checking your minutes online, what other content is there? Are these call tones free? Anyone have screenshots?

I want to see if it's worth my while.

and just as an fyi...this can and will block you from viewing any picture mail you may get.

Can't I just dial *4 on my Sprint phone to get that info? Seems like that it a lot easier than the above. But maybe that's just me.
