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!

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>

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.
