I got Skyfire sms last night, but then....

...it went all downhill. I got the text notification last night around 2am. Boy was I excited! I got up at around 9 and went instantly tapping on the url provided in the text msg... 30 seconds go by and my default browser, Opera 8.65 crank up to bring me to a shocker that I didn't at all expect: Below is the exact message that my eyes saw:
"Beta Request Completed
Thank you for verifying your beta registration. Your mobile phone is not currently supported by Skyfire. We will notify you when Skyfire is available for your mobile device."
wtf wtf WTF!!! My phone isn't compatible. What kinda crap is that. They are advertising all over their site with screenshots of the browser on a freakin' Kaiser itself. So, I don't get it that why is it recognizing my phone as NOT COMPATIBLE.
It felt like my Tilt was robbed of its dream date with Paris Hilton when she's coming right off a wet T-shirt contest and is on her way to Girls Gone Wild hottest chicks reunion shoot.... well, I got a little excited there so let me come back to reality! So, you get the point how I felt at that time.
Can someone tell me wtf am I doing wrong? I could only think of one thing that is that my Opera 8.65 is set to portray as a "handheld browser" and not a desktop one in its setting menu. Could that be the culprit.
To rub salt on my wounds, the freakin text message instantly went poof.. self-destructed upon tapping that link. I did went back to the browser and copied the url with my unique code at its end and ran it in PIE... same result.
HELP HELP HELP!!

It worked fine with my STOCK ROM ATT TILT.

Wow, that sucks...what PPC are you using? What ROM?

I never thought of that... what does a ROM have to do about it not recognizing my device??!!
NEways.. I'm using Dutty's Rom 6 Full version for my Tilt. Should I've upgraded to the 6.1s floating around first? I wanted to wait for the official one to come out first.

It might be using the ROMs device ID to determine compatibility...you might need a stock ROM. Has anyone used Skyfire on a cooked ROM?

Can someone upload this app, or can I download it somewhere?
It says "beta program is currently at full capacity"

I wonder if it isn't the Opera browser reporting your device as something other than what it is (maybe the "act like a desktop PC" option is on?). When you go to the web site your identity string which will include info about your browser, OS and sometimes device will be sent along too. Just a thought.

I am using Dutty V4, got the sms last night, went to the link in PIE, downloaded and installed like a champ. It is working pretty good, haven't had a chance to test it in 3G. But so far its pretty good.

waiting for cab any one has it?

This is not going to work for anybody but invited Beta testers. Since everything is server based with Skyfire it won't run unless you have an account set up with them. Only way you can get an account set up is if you received your invite code. It matches your phone number to it's servers, so if it doesn't reconize that you've been selected as one of the beta testers it simply won't work. There's really nothing anyone can do as it's all server based.
Anyways I would recommend to everyone not waste your time and install this, people from other sites are also saying the same thing as I am.

Its because your loading it in opera... try loading it in PIE. My banking site gives me the same error, but only on loading it in opera.

I've checked that already. Its set as a handheld device in Opera. I even went to the link via PIE and got the same message. Infact I even went there via Netfront 3.5 and no luck there as well....
What really sucks is that no one has posted this same problem besides me which is making my Tilt feel very lonely.. come one people.. stick ur neck outta yr shells..
..oh well!.. Its a big blessing though that Netfront 3.5 came out of nowhere and its basically been running literally FLAWLESS. I've been able to surf sites with such ease that its not even funny.

Damn haven't gotten mine yet.

humm well.. i cant solve your problem with the download thing.. but i uploaded one that i found on wizard forum =) take it and be happy ... blabla..

It says registration failed...that sucks. I got excited there for a minute.

I signed up a couple of days ago. I put my device as HTC Kaiser not AT&T Tilt. I got a link to the download. When I click on it, it took me to www.skyfire.com/mobile/download/beta-at-capacity

netfront is with out a doubt better.

Does Netfront 3.5 support embedded flash like Skyfire? I know that 3.4 did not...

I signed up for the Skyfire beta on 1/28/08 and have not received any notification yet, so I e-mailed Skyfire and received the following response:
Thank you for your interest in Skyfire. On February 8th, we began to release the Skyfire beta 0.5. It’s a big milestone for us and one of many ahead as we march to 1.0. We are happy to report that the initial response to Skyfire beta 0.5 has been terrific.
The number of sign ups for the beta program continues to be off the charts – more than we can accommodate today. Rest assured, we will get to everyone signed up, but initially we have to pace ourselves and roll out the beta in a measured approach. We are inviting beta signs up to download on a first signed-up, first invited basis.
We will notify you by email and by SMS as soon as there is room for you in the beta program. Please be sure that when you signed up for the beta you entered the mobile phone number you want to download Skyfire on. We need that mobile phone number to notify when it’s your turn to download. If you used a different number, please sign up again with your mobile number so we can be sure to notify.
As reminder, first we are supporting Windows Mobile phones in the U.S. After Windows Mobile, we will support the Symbian platform in the U.S. – starting with Nokia N-Series and E-series phones. This could take a couple of months as we continue development and testing. We also hear all the Blackberry, Palm and Linux users who want Skyfire, but the wait will be longer. For our friends in Europe, Asia and around the world, we are working as hard as we can to roll out the service internationally.
To stay up to date about what’s happening here, you can read our blog. You can also refer to our FAQ. Please tell your friends about Skyfire.
Thanks,
The Skyfire Team

AIM for WinMo

I'm looking for a lightwieght AIM client for WinMo. I have tried installing Agile Mobile but it wouldn't install. I would use the one that came in the ROM by default by ATT but it lowers your txt msgs with every IM you send. I'm looking for a free solution. When I had my iPhone I was able to use Mobile Meebo and/or iphone.beejive.com but none of these work on the kasier.
Which one do you all use? Much thanks.

Here you go, this one is my favorite. It was updated in 2000 but it's honestly the best AIM app I've found.
AIM Download

I use Slick.

i agree with the poster above me, use slick, it updates on occasion and is fairly simple to use.
Here i've attached the file. you need to update once you install it so don't be discouraged.

Seeing as you used Jive Talk in the past, you should try the WM6 alpha.

Hrmm..I just installed this app. And the overall look of it seems nicer than slick. Thanks ouphase.

I assume that both Slick and the new Beejive use my phone's data plan so I won't be charged a text message for every IM sent, correct?

what if i dont have a data plan?
be/c i got no data plan at all. i just use wifi.

Palringo works nicely and on multiple networks. I use it for AIM, MSN, and Yahoo.

i've been using palringo as well...i like that it integrates google chat at well, and the FINALLY updated it about a month ago where you can continue to have multiple chats open rather than closing a chat w/ 1 person, to open up a chat w/ another.
but i'm always looking for something newer and better...

i'm really diggin the layout and the chat history function of slick...but i tried to get jivetalk up and running, the cab that i'm downloading from their website isn't opening up on my phone properly...anybody having problems w/ the program as well?

I've had Palringo for a while now and just installed BeeJive. Palringo uses less memory, connect faster, plain and simple. Plus if you have MSN or HOTMAIL contacts on your yahoo buddy list they show up in Palringo unlike BeeJive. Beejive is more appealing with alot of neat and promising features butof course uses more memory. I like BeeJive more because it's got a feel to it plus it has alot of option to mees around with.
I'm sticking with both of them for now, and will run either one depending on my mood

anyone having problems installing jive talk too? i just did a hardreset on my phone and it still isn't working out. i'm sure it doesn't make a difference but i'm running qmobile 1.2 and its keeps pulling this error after i try to run it after a "successful" installation to the device. "

and continues on and on with a message caption that takes up the entire window. any ideas?

i have a couple mac fag buddies, they use iphone, and ichat for pc, any of these apps work w/ ichat? From what i hear you only need aim not sure if thats true (plus id love to NOT use aohell for anything)

iChat either uses .Mac or AIM to chat. Find out if they use AIM.

I get this same error on my 8125 running the latest (213) TNT ROM.

URL Links
Does either Slick or Plaringo convert http links in messages to clickable URLs?

palringo does, slick does as well...the real stinky thing about slick is you can't just copy text from conversations...which i do a lot. Sometimes i like to just copy convos etc, palringo is nice because whenever someone sends you a link, whether it be a picture of a youtube, or website or w/e...it'll say "open in browser" or "copy to clipboard". slick you can kind of do the same thing, but it takes a hell of a lot longer

HTC TYTN II on 3 UK

Hey all,
3 have started carrying this and I received mine earlier this week
Have already been through the forums for a few tricks and tips....although I'm pretty sure 3 have done their magic again and they have customised the phone to a large extent.
For example on the home page the 2 buttons at the bottom are Contacts on the left and Planet 3 on the right......guess what I cannot find anywhere to change PLanet 3 to something else LOL
Also in the Comms Mgr the Data Connection option is not available as is the Microsoft Direct Push......both greyd out
If pics are helpful I'll post some later

well...

SoftKey's changer software is not provided with official roms. You should search for an app, which will allow you to change the softkeys.

There is quite a lot of info on the forum and you can easily get lost LOL
I'll check the 2 suggestions though and see how it goes.
I've just tried connecting to the internet as well via my WiFi and when I am using Windows Live (which came with the phone) although connected on WiFi it will still launch GPRS for it...Opera seems to work fine with WiFi

I found a free exchange server, but you must have their @ address. It's preety good and fast... and free. You should search the forum. Somewhere there was thread about push email clients and configurations.
Or you can PM me for that one.

There is an app out there called Key swop, i use it to change the shortcuts at the bottom.
Google is your friend

Rich
I also have a TyTN 2 on 3 and it have no rebadging at all

My TytnII from 3 arrives tomorrow. I've been looking forward to this for ages and finally they phoned me and offered me an early upgrade yesterday.
Result. Free phone!! Nice. They really don't want you to go to the competition, do they?

Great, they were having problems with MSN service but they fixed it. Im still having problem with facebook chat (the main reason I downloaded this) but I think the problem might be with facebooks service, not just yeigos. Just waiting it out

Suggestion: Put the current chats on a different tab
And of course add file transfer for yahoo/aim/msn

kinda sucky
well their sign up process kinda sucks. I've been waiting on an SMS for several hours. After submitting your phone number and a supposed text is to be sent, they display a page of the next steps. It says if you don't get the SMS text message, you should visit the site from your mobile device. WHAT A JOKE.. I'm using PIE to browse their site and it's not even a mobile page.
if they can't get this simple stuff right what the hell can they get right?

I got the sms instantly.

I still dont have the sms.. and since I posted I tried 2 more times.

I got the SMS instantly too. There is a Yeigo worker watching this thread... maybe he will chime in.
Here are some of my sugguestions.
To improve this I would say to intgrate a notification into windows... when its minimised if you get a IM that it shows a notifiaction icon, not just makes the noise. (like windows msn messenger) Also, you should be able to sort by what IM service your using, also there is no file transfer or voice clip.
Navigation is also tedious going between conversations and the Instant message main screen.
Can anyone make a Voip call not using wi fi? I cant!! The program crashes to today screen!!

A lil bit o' help with E-Mail/Youtube

*sigh*
I just got the phone yesterday, and I've been messing with it all night. Great device and best I've owned yet, but unfortunately I'm having issues trying to setup Hotmail as my e-mail account. I did some research and some said to sign into Messenger and sync e-mail. But where is Messenger? Is it the messaging application that can sign you into Aim/Msn/Yahoo or an actual Live Messenger program on the device that eludes me?
The other thing is the Youtube Application. Yes I've found it but I'm unable to make it shortcut under programs or in start menu. I did download Total Commander but I'm new to this whole importing .cab thing. Is there anywhere I can find a guide to doing this without bricking my phone?
Any help would be mucho appreciated!

There is another thread on it somewhere. You need to highlight the cab and copy it then go to the windows, start menu, programs directory (I believe thats it) and copy a shortcut there.

When I created my shortcut to the YouTube app, the larger file did nothing. There's a 700kb and 50kb (my estimates could be completely off btw) and only the smaller file that I created a shortcut to launched the app.

Hmm ok. What about the hotmail issue though? Is it even possible or *must* I use gmail?

wich carrier are you using?
I'm from holland and my TP ( Vario IV ) came with the stock T-mobile rom. If you are using T-mobile, chances are they left out MSN.
Suggestion : Flash your TP to a different rom ( I use ROMeOS 1.40.1, just like the rest of the world should , but no pressure )
Installing Live should'nt be a problem.
About the youtube thing : what hah2110 said is true.
hope this helps.

I'm using AT&T using the Fuze. I do agree with another comment I read concerning the difficult in using hotmail on a winmo device. It's kinda ironic. :\
