hi all,
i'm really frustrated with my htc s730, has anyone tried to open forum.xda-developers.com on their device?
fast openning of the page but as soon as i start scrooling it takes me two minutes to get to the bottom of the page.
maybe that's beacuse the missing drivers.
But i think it's not acceptable to sell a device with so low performances. I feel cheated, s710 my previous phone performs alot better.
i get the ideia that the device slows down when openning pictures...
???
use Opera...
i usualy don't like to use something just because the original software doesn't work but i guess it will be the case.
anyone has a beta of opera 9.5?

Wasn't released yet.
I use Opera v8x, i guess,this is the best PIE replacement (yet).
There are some others out there,too.
Just read Menneisyys Windows Mobile Web Browsing Bible ..
i'm downloading the 9.3 beta to try it...
Yes this forum take aaaaaages to view on the S730.
Strange as it is that this site is about mobiles but has no mobile friendly version?!
open www.xda-developers.com and you will see a pda version link on the left of the page.
The problem is that the post are not arranged by last post, what makes that version loose all of it's funcionality... :S
Not sure as I have never tried coming here from my phone yet, but I know with some other sites IE has some default display options that will either keep the origional website layout and look, or modefy it for "easier" use. I have been to a few sites that were useless and took ages to navigate unless I changed how IE displays the page. Might be worth a try. (not that opera isnt good, use it on the PC and the phone )
Hi,
Skyfire is a free, downloadable mobile web browser that allows you to experience the internet on your phone exactly like on your PC. Now, you can use the full web from your mobile phone with unprecedented speed and simplicity – without the typical restrictions and limitations that current ‘mobile web’ efforts offer. It’s “The Web”, not some mobile web. (Taken from their site)
The best feature in this? "Unlike other mobile browsers, Skyfire supports the desktop version of Adobe Flash applications so sites, including those that serve-up video and music, are rendered exactly as you would expect - just like your PC."
Now... Will Opera support flash or not, we can always install this on Xperia - or any windows mobile - to get flash support for sites...
NOTE: I just read in the main forum the following: "Please note that this board does not tolerate cracks, serials, pirated versions or the posting of software that should have been aquired by legal means and we will remove (delete) them when found. Please help us keep this site clean by posting links of that sort in this tread as well as telling us if you have found anything on the ftp site."
So in light of that, i have removed the link to download Skyfire via RapidShare from here. Anyways, i'm sure if you register on the site, you'll get your hands on it - since even i got it and i am in Pakistan!
Best regards.
This is all well and good, but currently, skyfire doesn't support VGA or WVGA devices!!! Is there a fix/workaround to this?

It doesn't? Well it's a Beta, so hopefully will soon.
Wow thanks for telling me about this. I installed it and it looks very promising. Not to mention the pages load really fast.

Because they optimise the most common pages on their server
It's a really nice app

Awesome!!!!
Well after using it for a few days I switched to Opera Mobile bet 9.6. I actually like it quite a bit better then skyfire. Yes skyfire load pages faster then anything I've seen but zooming on those pages takes time and trying to scroll is bad. Opera's new program takes full time to load the page but once it's loaded the scrolling and moving is very good.
In case you can't download this, then i just updated the first post with a rapidshare link to download this.
Skyfire has shut down nonUS winmo 1.5 server access as of July1, 2010. Android v2 still works in Australia. Have found an alternative but costs ~$30 after a 7 day trial, Mach5 Web @ www.netacceler.com. This is a Hongkong based server and may encounter some geolocking by some sites (such as ABC.net.au iview). This is the only video enabled browser for winmo that I'm aware of. It doesn't 'remember' usename and passwords as Opera does.
in the past , i used to LIKE skyfire. Why? because it supports flash and other stuffs. it plays videos on other sites not just youtube. What I don't like about it TODAY is that it does not allow other countries, like the Philippines to use it. now I'm stucked at old opera. so sad.
And it still suffers from the very issues that have been there since it's introduction (checkboard issue, slowness of scrolling and zooming...). Sadly one more app among many others for which development has been stopped due to the imminent lauch of Windows Phone 7. I think now we definitely have to face the fact that our platform (Windows Mobile) is dying.
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.

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.

Look for Adobe Flash Lite 3.1 and a compatible Opera build =]
Hello
As far as I know,that Mozilla Fennec is nowadays available only for desktop emulated or Linux Nokia N810 version.
Now,I have read this new...
http://www.msmobilenews.com/windows...refox-named-fennec-and-released-in-alpha.html
You can see the screenshot up-right taken from WM device(seems to be as our,depending on scheme).
So my question is:
How can we start it under Windows Mobile? I didn't found any WM installation.
if you ever find out please pm me.
On the wiki of the mozilla website, it looks like the release is somewhere next week. link.
i read about it. It has to release in a week.
Here is an article you can read:
http://www.wmexperts.com/firefox-mobile-may-be-touch-pro-next-week
They are targeting an Alpha release in the first week of Feb. I can't wait to try it out.
Ask of now, there are no offical downloads, yet.

Skyfire is a SERVER application; a server processes websites and returns data to your phone via the client application. Your phone never directly browses websites, everything goes through Skyfire servers. This is similar to how Opera Mini works.
Fennec is a true client browser, like Opera Mobile, IE, NetFront.
In otherwords, Fennec and Skyfire are completely different.
oh ok, i did see it has tabbed browsing does anybody know if it will have flash?

I dont see anything thats says it supports flash. I would imagine that if it did support flash it would be made very clear as it would be a great "selling point"
New Skyfire build
In the mean time: there is a new Skyfire build 81xx which now seems to is realy VGA compatible. Yust brose with IE to get.skyfire.com, chose touch based wm 6 and off you go. Have fun, screen looks much better now.

Isn't Opera a Server app as well?
I thought the only browsers that contacted the websites directly was IE and NetFront.

The pre-release version does not run well at all...

Cant find this... True VGA?
just go to skyfire.com with IE and download it from the screen that comes up, i wish i would have told me there was a new version availible
exactly, they claim that you get a new menu item if there is an update, never seen it though.
Runs quite nice, true flash support including youtube direct play. Just a litle bit slower as Opera mini.
For me the third browser when you realy need flash support.

Is there a new skyfire that supports VGA? I went on the site but doesn't show the version..
I have read about pre-release build of Fennec,but experiences are very bad for now. We will see next week,how it will be. I want to try Skyfire as well,but it is available only for US as my informations are. Or is it working in EU as well?
It is available in EU to, just go to "get.skyfire.com" and download the WM 6 version. Go there with IE as you need a WAP browser.
Yes, the pre release of fennec sucks...
Hey I did a search and didn't see that any one had started a thread on this so I figured I might as well.

The Skyfire browser brings the desktop web experience to the phone, but until today Android phone owners were unable to share in that experience. Skyfire 2.0 has been released today for the Android platform, and the full Flash experience (sorry Jobs) is part of the package. Skyfire uses server-side page rendering to bring web pages to the phone screen looking like they do on the desktop. Video streaming also works with few compromises, according to the developer.
skyfire 2.0 beta
heres the apk
enjoy
wow thank you.
and skyfire again carries on the tradition of being flash capable and a solid browser. this thing is awesome.

woooo, playin worldstarhiphop.com videos
THANKS FOR THIS
I like how it acts like the default browser but still is way faster than any other webkit browser out there
I must be doing something wrong, because this thing is so slow, I've never actually had it successfully open a bookmark before I give up and close it...btw, not allowing a close when you back arrow from the main screen is not consistent with the way most apps work.
not downloading
