Pocket IE wont go "back" a page anymore. Help! - Motorola Q Forum

beargibs · 11-02-2007, 12:28 AM

Ok gurus: Pocket IE stopped letting me go "back" a page when surfing the 'net. I dont recall accidently editing the registry anywhere that might affect/effect (i never know which one to use) this. When i view a page then click on a link or go to the next page, when i press the back arrow button on my q, it takes me to the home page of the q?! any ideas as to what could cause this or someone have the original registry keys that control IE's functions. IE shows up so many ties and diff. places in the registry, i wouldnt know where to begin, and as my opera trial is over in 2days, my fate is in the hands of the Everything Q gurus. Thanks in advance.

for shit 'n' giggles try the button under the scroll-wheel to go back one page..

Intertesting, this has just happened to me in the last 10 minutes. I just got Resco and have been changing a few entries but no button remapping. I think the only thing i changed with IE is the address history list. I'll change it back and see if that helps.

Edited the registry back but issue remains. Button under the scrollwheel has the same effect of returning to the homescreen. Hmm.

Soft reset after registry edit and both buttons are back to normal. Again this was the hack to reduce the IE address history list when typing in a web address. Setting the value from 100 to 0 caused the bug.

Try checking this entry:

HKCU/Software/Microsoft/InternetExplorer/Main/historybacklen

The original value is 100.
Hopefully you've performed this hack and thats all you'll have to change back.

Not sure I'd call that a "bug"....if ya got no history, ya got nowhere to go "back" to!!!

I thought the same thing......

Well the hack doesn't clear your history, I'm pretty sure that's another entry which I didn't change. The one I posted only clears the address history listing when you're entering a web address.

Thanks anyway, sounds like that probably would have worked.
