Mobile testing

Ok, now from the phone. I don't know how to start a thread tho.

Bazza - I only got lessons to appear tin the "Lessons" section when I scheduled them (using a normal browser - not possible with the mobile version) ? My phone also can't display the third pinyin tone but ... more seriously, it can't display any Chinese characters (both normal and magnified)! They all come out as empty boxes. I have a Nokia N95 (UK version) - any ideas how I can install Chinese language support ?

Whoa! ChinesePod is going mobile and C, oljac is the first one to use/test it. History. Coljac, you da manda bomb, and da mobile tester, etc.

no problem there, just got it too, replying from my smartphone. Need to explore further before I can comment but conversations seem to be straightforward

Doesn't work here with my new toy which I received this morning (Nokia N95; clean version without any operator branding). I can login fine and read this thread but when I try to post, I get a 404 error - "An unpexected error occurred with your request. Please try agai later." I've tried it twice and got the same problem both times.

Test

It works in Firefox. ;) I'll give it a try on my phone.

it works in opera on my Nokia 6680

...and on my palmTX using blazer.

There's a slight pinyin display problem on my phone, it only seems to be the 3rd tone letters that won't display.

Excellent request. We will work it in.

this is great! just sent from my palm 700w in los angeles. groundbreaking!

glad to hear about the mobile version of the forum, I may start to use it now. mobile CPod works fine on my WM5 smartphone, both Opera 8 and IE. There's obviously a font issue with pinyin 3rd tone, the same goes for all but the simplest hanzi (in terms of number of strokes). But with such limited screen real estate / resolution it's clear magnification is the only option, not a CPod issue per se.

Works here as well (HTC/Tmobile MDA Pro) only problem: Mobile IE shows no Hanzi. Anybody knows a Windows Mobile browser capabable of displaying Chinese (Font is installed)?

test

henning, I had some issues when I first used the device, check the Pleco forum for related discussions on font location / tweaking, can't remember what did it, if it was installing MonsterChinese or what (even the eval version may do it)

It works now on my Nokia N95 - I updated the firmware to the latest last night so not sure if that was the problem ?

test

Is the "Lessons" section supposed to be blank at the moment? I can only get to the lesson dialogues and stuff through the "Conversations" section. I can't get the dialogue pinyin popup to work very well in Opera, when you highlight a word it popup at the top of the screen but you have to scroll up to see and you lose the selection in doing so.

BTW you may not be aware but there is also a mobile version of the forum at http://forum.chinesepod.com/mob/
