web Browser

Hello,
First of all i love the site , My Kaiser is now pumped up with some of the best software that you guys have recommened, My Fav software so far is the HTC Album with the Gesture comands (Very Iphone )
This leads me onto my only gripe and was hoping some one could help me
the question is - "Is there any decent Gesture based web Browsing software?" either in the works or already availble?
I have moved onto using OPRA, i really like it but can't seem to get to grips with zooming in or out (is it at all possible)
thanks in advance

If zooming in/out is what you need, you may want to take a look at Opera Mini, particularly with the latest improvements (see the Wiki / the General forum for them)

use the piscel viewer, it is EXACTLY the same as the iPhone browser. I ripped it off the new verizon samsung phone and it works great. Let me know if you need the cab.

It's spelled 'picsel', but I agree that it's a sweet little web browser that acts very similarly to the iPhone browser.
It was posted in the Hermes forum awhile back and I grabbed it then. Good thing, cuz you can't find it anywhere anymore.

mobile safari style full browser???

I'm coming back home...
Tomorrow my AT&T Tilt comes in the mail. I had jumped ship for a little while to try out the Iphone for a little while. As I already knew/expected/predicted, it sucked. I finally got someone to trade my unlocked Iphone for a brand new in the box Tilt. I'm so glad to be back in the hackable/crackable world of HTC and Windows Mobile.
However, I got used to the great browsing experience with mobile safari. Are there any full browsers for windows mobile? I'm looking for a browser that can view full pages and supports javascript and ajax. It would also be great if it came in the neighborhood of... FREE!
Please feel free to flame me for jumping ship. Blame it on the 620mhz arm. I had to experience it.

Opera mini based on Java comes close. I do not recall if it is free but it does show whole pages and you can expand specific spots by a simple touch with finger or stylus. It is also totally scrollable (I use finger nails).

Opera mini is good and is free, I've been using one called NetFront Browser that is really decent too. It's apparently in beta now, don't know if it'll still be free when it goes to release.

I won't be - it'll cost $30.
In general, I recommend Opera Mini the most, particularly with my additional hacks & tweaks. Read my related articles.

Web Browsers

What web browsers do people use? Ive been using opera mobile but it is annoying how when you scroll down on the page it scrolls from link to link. Is there anything in which you can move around the page freely? or am i using opera wrong?
thanks

I personally wouldn't mind a browser such as the safari browser.

Yes, just drag the page around with the stylus rather than using the d-pad.

Try Netfront. I have installed it yesterday and happy with it.

I love Opera Mini - by far the best IMO.
I want skyfire, but I have yet to get my beta invite.

Well Opera mini for me is so far the fastest browser. I try netfront 3.5 and I must say that I like the zoom feature really much but a bit slow.

I've been using NetFront for about a month and it's been meeting my needs. I agree that it's a bit slow at times (zoom activities and loading), but my guess this is due to debug code rather than a core rendering issue.
I'd like to see another drop from NetFront, so if you have problems please provide feedback on the NetFront website.

opera mini got my vote. I love how speedy it is. By far the best.

I have opera mobile not mini and i think is a great browser the download manager is great not like the IE that sometime damage the files when downloading . . .

Iam using Opera 9.5 beta love it!!
And waiting for skyfire..

I tried that but I had the following problems:
1
Sometimes the results are so massive you get lost
2
You are often left flat with no results at all
3
As a middle aged man you can have problems with the Campus Police.

Haha. Reminds me of vijay's naked chicks post. (Which I loved so much I've added it to my sig)

Here's the one I use. Not sure which one I downloaded from the site, it is a bit of mess.
Thanks

Opera Mobile Problem
I've searched around and haven't found anything relevant to this. When i last flashed to a rom and went to install my Opera mobile cab i had not problems but i cannot access a secure website with it now. Maybe I'm just stupid and have a setting wrong but i haven't be able to find it. Any help (including redirection) would be appreciated.

I tried installing opera mini and it doesn't appear on installed programs, neither it appears on file explorer...

Open the Java application in "Applications" it should be listed there. Then use the search function or hit up google to find out how to make shortcuts.

internet browsing

Well so Opera sucks really bad most websites i go to the fonts too damn small to see is there a fix for this or another browser i can download?

Wow Scott,
Welcome to the forum. What a pleasant post from such a new member.
Well let's see... perhaps you would prefer the new IE in 6.5. You could give that a try. There is Skyfire. Several seem to like that. Oh, you might also try to do a search. Amoung the issues you are searching for, you might also notice, perhaps, a slightly elevated degree of decorum as measured against your intial entries.
Happy hunting.
Doug M.

sorry for the abrupt post most of the forums i go to for whatever are to the point, and can be mean to the newbs... i will search but i may need to take the phone into the store because the internets not working like i should even with full bars.

You could try Iris Browser....and most builds of opera have a zoom feature so the font wont be as small...

NOOB??

it's the other way around for me, IE8 is getting to my nerves.
what is your Opera version anyway? I believe you can use 'one column' view to eliminate too small fonts.
wondering when will Google/Mozilla make their browser avails for mobile devices.

When I zoom in I lose word-wrap so there is a lot of horizontal scrolling to be done which is a pain so I would rather see the font larger than to zoom.
I get really fed up with it sometimes.

Try updating to a different Opera Mobile build, when I zoom in on mine it word wraps correctly.

another to say update your opera the newest work fine just remember to zoom in. my text wrap is fine
also if you want to use iphone sites use iris browser and skyfire for full flash videos and such
and whomever asked about a mozilla browser there is actually an alpha build its called fenec but supposedly isnt up to par yet but its being worked on

You want to see this tablet at it's best check out

The xScope browser. After reading about it here earlier today I grabbed it and can't believe how it shows the ability of this tablet. I set the browsing agent as a "computer" and every site I've checked works flawlessly, including those with a lot of flash that didn't work before. Youtube videos look amazing and the speed is second to none.
The reason I wanted to mention it here is because so many people are working hard to make this tab the best it can be and I thought this shows what we have to work with. Personally this is going to allow me to do a lot more business work and makes the purchase a great move for me!
Sorry for getting a little over excited.

Can you please check www.bankofamerica.com? It fails for me using stock browser, and Dolphin HD and Lite. I have not tried other browser such as Xschope and Skyfire.

I use xScope also. Rothnic recommended it. Works very well. I went to the Bank of America site and it looks like it works. You didn't leave your account # so I can't really tell though It looks different in xScope than the stock browser.

Using stock and dolphin HD/Lite, login app falls behind some flash advertise, and no way to move the login applet front.
Yes, you can use Android App for BofA, but it is horrible. Too many crashes, and it works when it wants.
Damn, i left my tablet at home today since don't have decent carrying solution yet.. Really sux..

ah ok hopefully its fixed by the time i get my tablet since i do use the app alot.

I really didn't feel this thread needed to be moved. It's relevant to those of us working non-stop on the roms like TNT. It's important that we know what apps are making the most of the roms as a lot can be learned from that. I wasn't simply looking to review the app.

People love Dolphin and I don't know why. I have been using Xscope since it was free and I even paid for it now that it isn't and it just gets better with every update. It blows the other browsers out of the water!

On the contrary, this is related to a browser APP, which can be used regardless of which ROM is on your gTAB. Apps is the perfect forum for this post.

Tried the free version. Fancast didn't work for me in this one either. Flicker slideshows did working landscape...didn't in stock.

You're right had it been app review, which it wasn't. I was addressing those of us using certain roms.

Just a heads up. When I last used Skyfire the webpages were all generated on their servers. So unless things have changed I'd avoid using it for things like financial transactions.

Don't want to go on anymore about this too much, but this absolutely belongs in apps. You didn't say anything specific about a ROM, or development. You did give an app review about how it runs on this device. There currently is a lot of app related posts coming into development pushing down threads, and our mod is rightly so moving them.
On another note, I am on the list of of people who don't understand the hype on Dolphin and love xScope. I encourage everyone to try it.
Love loading webpages up, then hitting menu to go fullscreen. The toggle makes it great. Also nice swiping between tabs.

Can any one tell me where to find the xScope browser. Of course the crappy gmarket site the gtab has built in doesn't carry it.

I like XScope 6 a lot. Today I was able to watch a rental movie (from Amazon digital store) at full screen and no issues at all. The browser agent was set to "computer" with XScope and Amazon who needs the iTunes store?
