Vision Homepage And Call Tones on PPC6700

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

I need to change back so I can view picture mail. I tried to remember but it still won't let me view pic mail. I included a pic to show what my strings are.

Is this correct?

[Hayabusa1300cc]

I cannot get the proxy settings to stay. I re-open and proxy is not there.

I Did the process many times and triple checked but I am getting 'There has been an application error!
Please contact your system administrator to report this error.'

Try setting it up in your "my work network".

Then select the advanced tab, select networks button and choose "my work network" for programs that auto connect to the net.

Doesn't work for me, i see the vision page with no links

i checked and double checked all of the settings but no luck. I just flashed to the aku 2.2 rom, would that have anything to do with it?

Can you have two different settings, the default ppc settings for PIE and the hack in this thread on Netfront?

This might be the best solution so that we don't have to change registry back and forth to view certain sites.

yea and it save the proxy even unclicked use this

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ACCESS\NetFront33\UAData1]
"Language"="en"
"Platform"="Windows 98; PalmSource/hspr-H102; Blazer/4.0"
"UA"="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; PalmSource/hspr-H102; Blazer/4.0) 6.0"
"AppVersion"="6.0"
"AppName"="Windows 98; PalmSource/hspr-H102; Blazer/4.0"
"AppCodeName"="Windows 98; PalmSource/hspr-H102; Blazer/4.0"
"name"="Treo700wx"

save that as a .reg file and inport it and it adds the setting to your profiles
