vx7000 annoyance, can anyone solve?

Can anyone solve this annoyance. I use my web browser a lot for sports scores. My old vx4400 would keep my last site in memory so I could go to nfl scores then hit exit. When I would go back into the browser, it would remember that and start me off there (unless the phone had been shut off).

My 7000 does not remember the site. Everytime I go back into the web, it starts over at the verizon home page. Anyone know how to make the phone remember the site?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Make the sports site your homepage?

1. Click OK to go to settings
2. Press the 0 key (zero)
3. Enter the default code to unlock the menus: 000000 (six zeroes)
4. Press '9' WAP Setting
5. Press '4' Homepage'
6. Enter http://mysportsite.com into the space provided, overwriting Verizon's homepage site.

Or better yet, create a homepage on your ISP website that contains the top sites you visit...you can include a link to Verizon's site as well.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml">

<wml>
<card id="home" title="MyHome">
<p><a accesskey="1" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/mobile/bbc_news/index.wml">1 - BBC</a></p>
<p><a accesskey="2" href="http://mobile.yahoo.com/news">2 - News Wires (Yahoo)</a></p>
<p><a accesskey="3" href="http://mobile.yahoo.com/weather">3 - Weather</a></p>
<p><a accesskey="4" href="http://mobile.yahoo.com/mail">4 - Yahoo Mail</a></p>
<p><a accesskey="5" href="url.wml">5 - Go To URL</a></p>
<p><a accesskey="6" href="http://www.gmailwireless.com/lite/">6 - GMail Wireless</a></p>
<p><a accesskey="7" href="biz.wml.wml">7 - Business</a></p>
<p><a accesskey="8" href="tools.wml">8 - Tools</a></p>
<p><a accesskey="9" href="travel.wml">9 - Travel</a></p>
<p><a accesskey="0" href="traffic.wml">0 - Traffic</a></p>
</card>
</wml>

Edit that to include some of your favorites...and Verizon's own homepage. It will load a helluva lot faster than Verizon's.

Name it index.wml and upload it to it's own directory (like /phone in the example below) on your webhost. Then, point to that as your homepage in the phone settings.

http://site.myhost.com/phone

Here's the script for url.wml -- a handy file to navigate to any URL you type into it that the VX-7000's browser will remember...so you don't have to type it in all over again, in most cases.

Code:

<wml>
<card id="card2" TITLE="URL Hound">
<p align="center">URL Hound...</p>
<p>Enter URL: <input name="url" value="http://" format="*m"/></p>
<p align="center"><anchor>Request $(url:n)<go href="$(url:n)"/></anchor></p>
</card>
</wml>

excellent post. for some reason you can't enter URL's into this device. typical VZW device LIMITS LIMITS LIMITS.

six years later, i say , thank you!
