[Handheld] The mobile reader support and requests thread (77)

1 Name: Squeeks : 2007-10-20 20:56 ID:IxY8cNNA

On a brief initial trial, currently food and japanese boards have a "mobile" version, which is pretty much stripped down and designed for people with phones, PDA's and other handheld devices that can browse mobile XHTML content. Right now I've done what I can without more rigourous testing since I haven't the means to test this on my own phone.

So please post any problems or requests you have. Screenshots are very helpful even if you haven't got a problem, so I can see how it looks like over a variety of devices.

Things I already know about at this point:

  • You can't reply to threads, or make new ones. It's pretty much "read only".

  • Post numbers have embedded javascript, as well as the "delete" button, both of which don't work.

  • Text maybe somewhat too large, and there is no CSS/looks boring.

from http://www.howardforums.com/archive/topic/489332-1.html:

> Sprint PCS handsets send an encrypted session ID called "ClientID" in the HTTP header information. Using that data you can validate the phone against Sprint's servers and determine (with some level of security) the identity of the subscriber visiting your WAP site. To use that data you need a partnership with Sprint to decrypt the information for you. Are you willing to pay for authentication?

I was being sarcastic.

how about support for posting like on http://waro.su/mobile.pl and http://waro.su/wml.pl?

When looking for old threads using google, I tend to get more results linking to mobile.pl than kareha.pl for some reason. (Kinda like how you to get more results from printable versions of posts made on IPB forums - maybe Google favors them because there a larger concentration of actual content on them).

I think it's an important issue that people may stumble upon threads via the mobile versions without having any hint that they can actually participate with an interface more suited to computers.

I use Opera Mini.

Mobile version of 4-ch works much faster on my Alcatel OT-C825 than general one.
It's sad that there is no posting, because in general version Opera Mini has no problems with posting field, but it's too slow in browsing.
Maybe default reply field of PC version could work with mobile?

Opera Mini: fullscreen, landscape mode. Font size: small.

Well, i can post if i change mobile.pl to kareha.pl in address manually. Not the best way, but still acceptable.

34 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2008-07-26 21:16 ID:tMnBdVa7

When you click a link like >>1 it opens in kareha mode (with reply bar).
But when you click a number at the left of poster's name page just reloads. Maybe it would be more useful if it acted in the way link does?

35 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2008-08-14 06:37 ID:47kY9fCJ

I have a shitty two year old razr v3i, and 4-ch mobile works swimmingly on it. I browsed most of the boards (didn't think to check the AA Bar) and the only issue I had was when accidentally clicking on the number to the left of the poster's name I recieved a 400 error. It'd be tits if we could post, too, but even having the ability to just read has killed many the boring hours of work.

36 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2008-10-17 20:48 ID:/C2bknLA

looks fine on my motorola razr2 v8 cellphone (opera).

now add posting/replies. PLEASE! :)

37 Name: Squeeks!tRfRREmKOE : 2008-10-19 23:54 ID:GDsNk8aF

Okay, the list so far:

  • The ability to post
  • Fixed links
  • Separate Domain (m.4-ch.net maybe?)
  • Possibly having archives access

All this will take a while, but it'll be done.

38 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2008-10-30 18:56 ID:s5Zh8Hii

yes. m.4-ch.net sounds good and short.
please add post ability first, since it's the most important imo. thanks!

39 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2008-11-29 12:13 ID:lSgSRkHt

on the mobile startsite you forgot to add "mobile.pl" in the "Japanese" link.

40 Name: Squeeks!eXfV3cXcCk : 2008-12-01 16:11 ID:ifcCdqMt

Thank you, >>39 , that's fixed. I'm trying to find the time and motivation to get things done, but alas I've had no time of recent.

Anyone know how to make SJIS/EUC/etc. work in US English win mobile?

I might have to cave in and get a G1 or iPhone next year, if not :(

42 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2009-02-09 06:57 ID:NqD7GY4j

>>41

No sorry. I have the same problem with my Motorola V8. But since there is Linux on it and there are already enough ways to change things on the phone, there should be a way to add Japanese/etc. fonts. Really need to look into it since i don't want a iPhone, especially NO Spywarephone like the G1...

43 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2009-02-13 04:38 ID:qebtD3co

I think some basic visuals and the ability to post would be nice.

44 Name: buzzbros2002 : 2009-05-03 05:28 ID:eY3+y/KN

Being able to post would make me as well as most people who use 4-ch mobile very grateful. Please consider it. Thank you.

45 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2009-06-02 02:48 ID:Heaven

> especially NO Spywarephone like the G1...

lol.
you obviously haven't looked at the freely available android source code.

also, any phone with bluetooth (there are quite a few you can get for free) + nokia n810 (less than $120 (USD) last time i checked) ≫ $300 phones with shitty fonts and low-resolution screens.

46 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2009-07-04 17:25 ID:7MPK4DuJ

Any news of progress being made?

47 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2009-07-26 20:04 ID:L9BlTZiQ

cool addition to the board.
Sadly, as cell phone browsing really is only for urgent situations, I doubt checking up on 4ch's slow boards will be a priority.

48 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2009-09-11 19:53 ID:K+aebTfU

>>45
who says that the free compiled sourcecode is the same that's already on the phones?
anyway it's OT.

is posting now possible from the mobile version? i'm sooo waiting for this. ;_;

49 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2009-09-27 20:20 ID:lwmfamfe

When will 4-ch mobile visitors be able to take part in the forums?

50 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2009-10-04 14:55 ID:BWYjPAeY

Squeeks, wake up!
Follow the mobile postfunction.

51 Name: Squeeks!6G27pi9lO6 : 2009-10-18 14:17 ID:UGzXrIW6

I'm working on it, I'm working on it. Doing a few other things too. Moving between 3 countries this year certainly doesn't give me time for anything.

52 Name: buzzbros2002 : 2010-01-24 00:59 ID:voZ+gZLX

just wondering if anyone has any update on the mobile version of 4-ch in terms of posting on a mobile.

53 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2010-07-09 01:03 ID:dOuAhDJj

imo 4-ch would make for super lucky immensely pleasurable mobile browsing environment if the frames were ditched in favor of a drop menus.

54 Name: buzzbros2002 : 2010-07-20 06:50 ID:voZ+gZLX

good point!

55 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2010-11-08 15:34 ID:R6yG+Rxj

I'd love to be able to post messages from the phone, it don't require anything special since phones can handle POST-requests just as any other browser...

56 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2011-09-07 19:04 ID:l6KaeXtZ

Can we look at source code?

57 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2011-09-14 04:12 ID:KPBvo5KL

Not trying to sound impatient or anything, but is the ability to reply under this mode going to be added at some point?

58 Name: buzzbros2002 : 2011-09-22 05:55 ID:/Hd1TUVi

I would love to be able to see 4-ch's source code to try to make it more mobile. As of tonight I've decided to become active here again, and am slightly disappointed that i can still see my comments from over a year ago are on the requests front page thing. Is Squeeks still around?

Hey Squeeks, when clicking a citeted post like >>1 it still opens in normal kareha. Can this be fixed please? I am in fact posting this in normal kareha from my phone. Otherwise, wonderful job.

Stop shilling your software, you made a thread for it you don't need to post it in unrelated places.

This suggestion should be implemented. Using frames in 2016 really is quite silly. It should be trivial to use drop down boxes to navigate the different boards, and it would generally improve browsing on smartphones and tablets.

71 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2016-06-21 02:06 ID:Heaven

>Using frames in 2016 really is quite silly.

Give me a reason that isn't "well it's the standard".

72 Name: Anonymous Advisor : 2016-06-21 10:32 ID:6wP2+QOe

Links open within the frame. That breaks functionality if attempting to open a YouTube link from a mobile device.

Frames scroll independently from each other. This makes navigation unnecessarily difficult for users on a device with lower screen resolutions.

I hope he does bring them back, then the new users who came here when it shut down can go away.
