I have PIE and Opera Mini and neither seem to do what someone needs.
Anytimeview.com is the site and being able to click on connect and have something happen (in relation to connecting) is what is needed.
So
For those of you that have different browsers can you test that site for me and let me know if your browser works?
I appriciate your help. I suppose if there isn't a reply when I wake up, I will start installing the various browsers that are free and trying them.
With Opera 9.5 on the Kaiser I get a JavaScript message box saying "Only one DVR Client 4500 can be run". When I click ok, I'm thrown back to a blank page.
With Firefox on Linux I get some broken graphics and at the bottom of the page: "ActiveX control failed to load! -- Please check browser security settings."
So I guess this page won't work with any browser different from IE on desktop Windows.
Yes i think the issue is it uses activex
Not sure about the java script error as i got that but can happen on other sites.
Tryed PIE, Opera, Mini, Skyfire
Same as above, when I tried 9.5 cooked into Ansars rom listed in my sig.
I can confirm that it did not work on Iris browser's latest version (which is quite capable actually), nor did it work on either Opera Mobile or Mini, or PIE, or Skyfire. I agree with stylez, the issue seems to be that a desktop version of Windows is required to use the page's ActiveX control.

There is something about me that doesn't like using Internet Explorer. On my phone (Sony Ericsson K850i) I use the Opera Mini 4 Beta browser and love the way that it renders sites and you can zoom in and out etc...
I installed Opera Mobile on my HTC hoping that it would be exactly the same as mini but I was very disappointed Not only does it not have the text for the soft keys but it doesn't accept touch screen inputs for pressing links and text boxes. Also you don't have the zoom in/out function so you have to see a fully rendered screen or and "everything on one column" rendering that cripples the content.
Is there a decent browser for Windows Mobile? What I am looking for is something that works exactly like Opera Mini but with more compatibility with flash etc...
Any ideas?
At the least I would like to be able to install Opera mini but it comes as a .jad file (Java Midlet?). Is there any way of installing these as my Kaiser doesn't know what to do with the file atm.
Thanks for any help
Oliver
There must be someone out there who uses a browser that they're happy with?
Is there a version of Opera that works with the touch screen?
Thanks
You don't have Java on your phone? Opera mini is free and it is a Java Midlet so you could try and see how you like it without spending any money. There is another free browser that I have called Minimo.

It isint the perfect browser either but it does alot of what Opera does and lets you set it with preferences too. Give it a shot and see what you think. Don't like it just remove. I will look on my phone to see if I can extract the Java .exe for you.
I use netfront 3.3 its got better functions than PIE and its back and forward functions using your D-pad is very usefull. as for opera if you want it to scroll like opera mini just enable touch and grab on opera v8.65. it will select links as opera mini does it just wont zoom in like opera mini
Ceck out the articles at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Web Browsing, browsers
picsel browseris my fav. look around enough and you'll find it
Thanks for the replies!
I'll definitely have a look round for the browsers you mentioned.
I would much appreciate it if you could provide a Java app to enable Java on my phone too
BTW, I'm using Schap's latest ROM if that helps.
Im a bit confused here about the op. Am I the only person that has a copy of Opera Mobile that does everything that the op said it doesn,t do? Which version of Opera mobile did you try? I use O.M on my kaiser and everything you said it doesnt do, mine does.. Ive got touchscreen interactivity aswell as touch scrolling, i can zoom in and out, 3 can resize the screen format to desk top,just fit and one column. Im runing Opera mobile 8.65 for Windows Mobile Pocket PC. By anychance did you accidentily download the smartphone version?
As above - op must have downloaded opera instead of opera-mini...
I'm posting using o-m and must say it's one of the best if not best browser for the wm platform
WOW!
Just installed Picsel and I love it.
The GUI is a bit dodgy but that's cos it's designed for the clie but I love everything else.
Thanks
(Bit of an effort to find a download though)
Ah, I downloaded the Smartphone version. That's prob why I don't have the touch screen thingy.
BTW Subliminal, there is a difference between Opera Mini and Opera Mobile. Opera Mini is what I have on my Sony Ericsson k850i and I would have thought that Opera Mobile worked similarly. It does all the same things but not as smoothly as Opera Mini.
Opera Mini is for Java based phone apps. Opera Mobile is for WM platform.
Opera Mobile has more functions (I think?)
but one main difference is that Opera Mini is free whereas opera mobile isn't.
A direct shortcut can be created to launch opera mini without the need to load the java midlet first. A quick hex edit can skip the connection permissions and another quick tinker can allow direct links from emails to open in opera mini. Sounds more work than it is.
Ive just been checking out the Netfront v3.4 technical preview
https://www.access.co.jp/english/nfppc/agree_34.html
its alot better than v3.3 and has some very nice features. its got a similar zoom feature to opera mini4 its a scroll and zoom. plus the visual bookmark is nice also. I cant wait for it to go to retail I will be getting it. opera9 will be ready soon also but ive not seen a preview of it yet. from what ive read though its also going to be alot better than v8.65 and incorperate feature of mini opera4 like the page zooming
I've just downloaded opera mini 4 and have installed it onto my phone.
I have one querey.......
when I was instaling it and when I first used it, it say
this program is connecting to .......port 1080...... requires airtime..... you maybe chaged.....
does this mean my phone isn't using the wifi connection when im running opera mini 4?

I'm also using netfront 3.4 since a little time. Very, very nice !
but... I can't use it with a wifi or USB connection (error : TCP connect...) ... Answer acces.co about that but no technical support on this version ;-(

It must be something to do with your settings, Ive just tried it with usb and wifi and both connect fine. Infact it connects quicker with usb than it did with v3.3.

Mmmm... don't reach the solution ;-( , even after modifying the browser settings. Always the same message...
"Cannot load page. Check that you are properly connected to the network. Type : TCP connect"
dolbe, can you give me your settings for this great browser ?
MS DeepFish is the best browser I've seen yet. It's in Beta for now though and has limitations. It's similar to Iphone's Safari - which is great.
Opera Mobile 9 will support zooming, just like Opera Mini. I asked Opera for a release date, but they won't say anything. It's supposed to be released "soon".
HI, I was used to check my home webcam with my nokia, connecting to my webcam site.
Now with this powerfull machine I can't see anything, with both Opera and IE I reach the site, I insert the user and password and a white screen appears, notthing more...
Any advice about that?
Thank you for the help
P.S. the website is builtin into the webcam firmware and it works perfec with both IE7 and Firefor3 on PC....
Sorry, the user and password promp only with Opera, with IE only white screen...
None have tried to look at a webcam stream with the Diamond?
Please let me know...
So far, I have not heard of a single one of these camera pages that actually works on Windows Mobile.
Opera Mobile would have been your best bet, as it is more like a desktop browser, and these things are simply not programmed properly to work with Pocket IE. but obviously, this has not helped either.
You can of course also try Opera Mini, which is Java based and may be better for the site you're trying to get to.
Of course, if the page is flash based, you're screwed, unless it was programmed to be compatible with Flash Lite.
today i read a news about a new upcoming browser named skyfire.
and what i am asking me: when the open beta comes to my country and i install it on my diamond... can i change the default browser für touchflo3d?
here is a version i tried using. only half the screen is skyfire and the other half is today screen. check it out. maybe it works for you.
Skyfire is a pretty good web browser for mobile phones. It was apparently found to be the fastest - mostly because it renders the pages from a central server.
I believe you have to register with them to fully use the software (you need a Skyfire account).
Also, there is a new release, but it still does not support VGA devices yet.
- Keirmeister
yes but can i change the default browser in touch flo 3d?
maybe in some time no one wants to use opera and all want to use skyfire.
seemts that its just a simple shortcut to change.
Skyfire is not compatible to VGA right now.
I tried out Skyfire on my diamond and there is a workaround the half screen problem. Other than the fact that flash works, i don't think it is better than Opera 9.5 at least not until a VGA version comes out.
I uninstalled Skyfire and now I have the problem where PIE is now my default browser instead of Opera. Whenever I tap on a link on my rss reader or email, it goes to PIE by default. Is there a way to change my default browser back to opera?
Just Re-run the WM_6_HTC_PPC_Opera9.cab in your windows directory, and it will re-install Opera and fix the link issues. Your bookmarks, history and other browsing data will not be harmed.
Skyfire 0.85 is out, with VGA support. Just tried it and it works like a dream on my Diamond, even able to watch top gear on iPlayer with it.
Hi,
Installed on my MDA Compact and it works well. However, it won't connect using wifi.
Any solutions?
Regards

I just downloaded it too and mananged to get a video playing from the iPlayer but I don't get any sound. Did you have any issues with sound at all?
(I'm on Dutty's V3.2 ROM)
To answer another question the latest version works on VGA but allegedly not on WVGA so Touch HD users may be disappointed. You can download it here http://get.skyfire.com/ and yes, Skyfire asks you if you want to make it the default browser.

Maybe... but uninstalling it even when it's not default resets your default browser to PIE. Which sucks.
i cannot download it,has anybody have vga cab?
Just open http://get.skyfire.com/ in your mobile browser, you'll get to download the cab directly from the phone!
i have opened it 100 times but i cant download,it always get me back to getskyfire.com.
i am not in usa,i am in europe,can somebody please post/upload cab???
Yes, here u go....

This is because unlike PIE/Opera Mobile, skyfire downloads the webpage on a regular pc, then sends you "an image" of the website, in a low quality.
So it's not actually that fast, zooming and panning are weak on it.

You can get flash in opera mobile
Check the developments and hacking forum on XDA, it's near the top.
Look for Adobe Flash Lite 3.1 and a compatible Opera build =]
Mmkay all you xda wizards, I need a bit of guidance here...
I have not yet switched over my browser on my Tilt, and I was wondering two things:
a.) I am working with IE which sucks, of course. I am able to open my browser successfully about three or four times, but after that it shows my homepage addy in the bar, but does not load. I have the Kaiser Tweak on my phone, but I was wondering if there is a setting that will prevent me from having to soft reset my phone when this happens,
b.) I had previously posted a question about switching browsers (h/t to those who made suggestions). I tried one, whose name I cannot recall, and my beef was that it was a pain to have to constantly zoom in on the part of the page I wanted to view. I was told Opera would be a good browser for me-I am really interested in being able to open multiple tabs-and could someone tell me if switching to the Opera browser would do anything to help this data timeout.
Thanks for the help all...I love this site because I am pretty clueless on this type of thing.
get skyfire
Use anything but Pocket IE. I have the following free good browsers installed on my device: Iris Browser, Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, Bolt Browser, and Skyfire. My most used browsers are Skyfire and Opera Mobile, but I use different browsers for different things. Try each one to see which ones you like best.

Greetings. Using Opera 9.5 build 2392 and pocket internet explorer, WM 6.1. Standard ROM that came with the device, clean "no bloatware" boot. 3g with HSPDMA (?) enabled.
Why doesn't Opera work as well as PIE at connecting to sites? Especially the "media net home" page device.home. I can't hit that at all with Opera, only with PIE.
I've tried the "enable/disable cingular proxy" cabs but it didn't change anything, after enabling or disabling.
Thanks for any help, I've searched but have not seen this particular item addressed.
I have Opera 8.65 beta with flash support on my Tilt, and it literally SUCKS!!! A waste of $24. What it takes Opera to open a website, PIE can get it in less than half the time. Advice: DO NOT MAKE OPERA A DEFAULT BROWSER!
