I wrote an email to ESPN regarding an issue im having with the Auto Refresh option on my 8125. I also had this problem with a treo when i tried it. It seems to work fine on normal mobile phones though. This is what i sent to ESPN.

I have a question about your wap.espn.com site. Through PDAs (Windows Mobile and Palm) the Auto Refresh option does not seem to work for some reason. When you try to use that feature it displays an error that says there are errors and the page cannot be displayed. This feature works through normal WAP versions on the regular phones. But these PDAs use more of a full internet. I have found the difference between the web addresses on the phone and PDA though.

PDA=

The difference between the two is an xhtml page and a wml page. Well it seems that the xhtml page works with the Auto Refresh and the wml page does not. I thought maybe this was my device but i have tried it on others and it does the same thing. I would just use the xhtml site but it does not seem to display correctly on my device. Thank you.


I was just wondering if anyone has run into this and if you have found a fix?

I also may as well take this oppurtunity to ask if anyone has a better way to follow scoreboards of different sporting events. Maybe like an actual gamecast experiance on your pda? Thanks.
