I was just curious as to what config everyone is using in their default browser settings?

I know bmc knows this, I'm just using his post as an example: if you're trying to download Google Maps, for instance, and you keep getting error messages, the first place to look is your browser and browser emulation modes. Most (if not all) OTA downloads require you to use the Blackberry Browser with the emulation mode set to Blackberry. If you have it set to IE, for example, the site will try to download the wrong files, and the app either won't download at all or won't install if it does download.

I was hoping this would help a few people out. (As well as me!)

I think a lot of people gave up on their BB browser because the settings weren't correct. Maybe with 4.5 and some correct settings they'll change their minds.

In my browser config, why is browser set to internet browser? I can't click on it to change.

You're looking under options, advanced, browser I believe

Just open your BB browser, menu, options and you should see what everyone else is talking about

Hmm, I don't see that option anywhere on my Curve, am I missing something here? I have read elsewhere to set this setting. ESPN mobile recommends it too for BB's

[jeffh]

Open your browser, press the menu key, select Options/Browser Configuration. It should be the first setting that has dropdown choices instead of a checkbox. I'm not sure why it wouldn't be there if you're using the BlackBerry Browser.

Are you running the BlackBerry browser, not Opera mini? Are you running an OS later than 4.3? Users with 4.3 have these settings, but if you're running 4.5, you may be the first one to check it.

[andylene]

No option other than internet browser on mine. Whats the difference.

[srd05c]

Wow, I'm surprised I haven't seen all of these configurations. Great post

[Phelos]

Thanks JeffH for the tip on style sheets.
=8')

[Phelos]

With style sheets checked its totally different. I'll have to check to see how wap looks.

[joshtbuff]

I don't have anything for handheld either. And my only browser: choice (very top) is internet browser.

I am on 8330 from vzw.

Interesting.

Three users, all with 8330's, two who can't see what I see, and one who either can, or has worked around it to where he can. Are you possibly running different OS versions? Your browser choice at the very top right of the options screen: is it a choice? When you click it, do you get a dropdown? I have both BlackBerry Browser and Internet Browser. I have set all my options the same for both. I've only used the BlackBerry Browser.

[Mrs. Curvy]

Well I have a 8310 on ATT and my choices are internet browser and Media Net. Nothing about blackberry.

If you can see the options we're discussing using Internet Browser, you'll be fine. The problem some people are having is they don't have the options available. We're trying to figure out why. Do you have them?

[Mrs. Curvy]

Yes I have all the other options under internet browser.
