Xhtml Problem Along Vodafone Wap

**metulj** · 29.08.08, 16:20

in italy, mobile company vodafone ,from some months
has put on his wap net the icons/links of his portal vodafonelive.
when you open with mobile phones sites made in WML , the presence of those
icons is reduced to some links that don't create particoular difficoult for
the page,instead in XHTML -HTML sites is a FULL DISASTER..
vodafonelive icons create distortion in the xhtml page and ,for exemple, in
my chat ,kill images and smileys..
this thing happens in many kinds of mobile phones as NOKIA 6630,6680, etc.using their own browser on
vodafone wap net..no troubles in others mobile nets. no troubles from PC users
only using as browser opera mini ,the situation gets better..

in my chat i use this XHTML header:

echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\" ?>\n";
echo "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN\"
\"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd\">\n";
echo "<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\">\n";
on PC and any other mobile company it works good ,
on vodafone wap apn ..page is distorced and images/smileys don't work .

i ask.. there is a way to block the interference of vodafonelive icons and making work good again ?

i have to use another kind of XHTML or HTML header?[/b]

our lovely vodafone aka vodacrap
we have also vodafone in Slovenia...
i had also many problems with vodafone users...
and solution is not always in code...

IF your site passes validation here =>> http://validator.w3.org/
then code is surely ok..

so solution would be in proper settings on phones(GPRS settings)
or firmware upgrade(this specialy goes for phones with symbian.. like 6630, 6680, etc..)

opera min doesnt support animated gif smiles.. only static pics ;)
and before you suggest to users to upgrade their firmwares..
try to validate every single page, and every single action on page..
to exclude any error in code ;)

ok..i recall that also peperonity wap sites had problems on vodafone but after a while ,for
some reason, peperonity sites also on vodafone work good again..maybe
peperonity uses some power filter..

i doubt it got anything to do with site code or server setings
im pretty sure it's problem with GPRS settings ;)

we had the same problems in south africa its aglobal thing from vodacom vlive....
The thing here is they merged the vodacom4me and vlive portals to 1 only as vlive...
my solution was to use the normal vodacom or vodafone settings and not the vlive settings ...
i contacted vodacom SA and theire responce was its an improvement to their service aswell as an upgrade of server...and they cant be bothered by how it influence my wapsite or my chatroom either .... my site has diferent alignments for different stuff and vlive is only left and there icons did same thing on my chat as with honkytonk..

so i gues just use ur normal vodafone settings and let your users also know about it

ps...>>>>>>>>>
this is not a coding issue its solely a vlive issue ..
meaning u use theire browser window they will put up on it what ever they want to...
its alo for their own adds they got linked in their images or banners.

i hope u can use other vodafone settings and not just vlive

i thought about it as a possible good solution..but in italy we have a problem..we can navigate on vodafone without any additional cost with
a promo that is applicable only passing in vodalive..
of course i had almost saw that using for exemple the voda web apn ,the problem don't exist..xhtml pages show clean and anything work !

yeah we also have free roaming within the vlive portal but thats only on sites thats covered or administered by vodafone.....
about 3yrs ago me and oyher south africans abused the free gprs setting on vlive and used it to chat and download for free...
also we used yhe settings with opera on our pc`s to mask it as a cell phone with a tunnel program running with it ...
i had free internet on my pc 24/7 for 7months my phone was used as a modem via bluetooth...
anyway ppl posted the settings evrywhere and some1 from vodacom SA saw it and they started to look into it and closed the loophole...
no more free internet and only free surfing on vlive network and approved sites ...once u leave the vlive portal u start paying normal gprs fees....
the free surfing was only reason i bought a vlive fone in first place...
well im now on normal vodacom settings but use databundles which are cheaper than airtime...
